Scarred by fate

Scarred by fate

Book One in the Fate Bound Trilogy Born under a prophecy and raised in a nightmare, Zahra has spent her life starved, isolated, and hated as the unwanted daughter of a pack Beta. When her father finally snaps and attacks her, her body breaks, but something buried deep inside her finally awakens. Her wolf. Pushed to the edge of death, Zahra’s first shift is violent, conscious, and fuelled by pure survival. And when white fur surfaces, the truth becomes impossible to hide. She is no ordinary wolf. Chosen by the Moon Goddess and tied to a forgotten prophecy, Zahra is suddenly thrust into a future she never asked for, one filled with power, danger, and people who see her as something far more than she’s ready to be. For the first time in her life, she’s surrounded by friendship, loyalty, and the kind of male attention she has no idea how to trust. As feelings begin to form and bonds start to take shape, Zahra quickly realises nothing about these connections is simple. What draws her to them may be drawing them to each other as well. But Zahra has never belonged to anyone. Bruised, furious, and desperate for freedom, she refuses to become a pawn of fate, no matter how tightly it tries to claim her. Because destiny isn’t given. It’s taken in blood and battle. Zahra’s story is for anyone who’s ever been overlooked and dared to rise anyway.

Chapter: Epilogue Continued.
Max's POVThe next morning, after another sleepless night, I follow my dad into the main meeting room. The air smells like coffee and grief. King James sits at the head of the table. Beta Nicholas to his right. Tobias and Aiden beside him. Lucas, Xander, and Zach opposite. A councilman I do not recognise flips through a leather folder. A house maid sets coffee pots and plates of biscuits in the centre and retreats from the room.everyone nods in acknowledgment of our arrival, but No one speaks. I pour myself a cup of coffee and settle into my chair to wait.Andrew arrives a few minutes later. He looks hollowed out. it's clear, he's not slept, over the last four days He looks like he's lost weight and He moves like his bones ache. I have heard the stories. When a wolf loses a mate, sometimes the wolf dies of grief. Sometimes the human goes with them. Sometimes what remains is a shell. It is too early to know which road Andrew is on, but dad said Aether is silent. If the silence holds fo

Chapter: Epilogue Continued
Max's POVTobias pats my shoulder. "Come on, man. Let’s head outside. The others will be here soon."I tip back the rest of the beer, feel it hit an empty stomach, and stand. In the bedroom I shrug into my suit jacket. It is tight across the chest but it holds. Tobias clocks it and smirks. I huff a laugh. First one in days. It feels strange in my throat.Outside, people stream from the packhouse to the woods along a lantern‑lit path. I keep my head down and my hands in my pockets. The clearing is already thick with smell of smoke from the last two days. Four pyres stand in the centre: Seb. Luna Anne. Zoe. Rebecca. The pack forms a ring at the edge of the trees, lining up back into the cover of the trees as the numbers swell, bodies pressed close.Tobias and I move to the front where a small platform has been raised. Andrew is there. Dad has an arm around his back, holding him upright. Lucas takes the other side as we reach them. I tense when I see Lucas because I know who will be right

Chapter: Epilogue Continued.
Max's POVThe packhouse feels hollow. Black ribbons hang from banisters. Voices stay low, as if volume might break something that is already cracked. We lost nearly two hundred. Everyone here can name at least one of them.I take a coffee and a muffin from the dining hall because that is what a functioning person does. The coffee tastes burnt. The muffin turns to paste after two bites. I toss the rest and climb to my father’s old office. It is mine now, apparently. The title sits in the room like an unwelcome guest.I work because work is something I can control. Eli’s rotation notes. Ralph’s border reports. I sign where I have to and flag what I cannot decide yet. My phone buzzes beside my elbow.Tobias: I will not ask how you are. I am sure the answer is o

Chapter: Epilogue
Max's POVI stare at the ceiling while daylight crawls across it, thin and grey. Another night with no sleep. My head is a hive and I am the only thing it stings.I have not slept since my best friend was murdered in front of me. Since I was not where I should have been. My Alpha. I let him down. I was busy watching Xander's back, worrying about his cousin, instead of standing where Sebastian needed me. Now our pack has no future, and that sits in my chest like broken glass.My stomach rolls again. I swallow against bile and breathe through it until the nausea backs off. The last three days I have thrown up more than I have in ten years. Every time I replay the fight, or my thoughts drift to Xander, every time I reach the same point where I chose the wrong alpha to flank, my gut empties. Coward’s body. I grit my teeth until my jaw aches.Yesterday’s meeting will not stop playing in my mind. Alpha Lucas at the head of the table, face drawn, voice steady like a blade laid flat.“Max. Hu

Xander's POVMy vision blurs. The air splits with two howls, a long, broken, mournful note. One after the other, blending together, a harmony of misery.Seb, and Uncle Drew.The sound chills me to the marrow. Its the kind of agony that isn’t just heard, it’s felt. Every wolf freezes for half a heartbeat. Max staggers beside me as the bond to his Luna snaps. Around us, every Silver Dawn warrior falters, some nearly dropping where they stand. The heart of their pack has just been snuffed out.I scan the battlefield, frantic. Then I see him. Sphinx!He stumbles upright, then launches forward. He’s not fighting anymore. He’s destroying. A whirlwind of teeth and fury, blood caking his muzzle, eyes blazing feral. He’s gone berserk, tearing through rogues with a savagery I’ve never seen from him before. His unit try to cover him, but he breaks through their line, chasing the rogues too far, too fast.Medus surges away from me, toward his Alpha, desperate to protect him. To be beside him in h

Xander's POVZach’s voice is tight, even through the link.‘I’m on my way, I’m in the pack house!’ I yell back through the link.Max and I barely make it through the back doors before we shift, Medus and Atlas hitting the ground in sync. The scene before us makes my blood run cold.Carnage. Pure fucking carnage.Wolves are everywhere. Rogues flood the garden, tearing through decorations and tables as if they were nothing. They’re not the ragged, half-starved rogues I’ve seen before. They’re lean, powerful, and moving like a trained unit. The stench gives them away — foul, rotting, wrong.Medus and Atlas surge forward side by side, our training taking over. The garden is a ruin, blood splattered across the grass, screams mixing with snarls and the sickening sound of flesh tearing. Wolves crash into each other in a blur of fur and teeth.Silver Dawn’s warriors are arriving now, charging straight into the fray, but the rogues keep pouring from the treeline like a tide of shadows.The sme

Marked by fate

Marked by fate

Book Two of the Fatebound Trilogy Born of prophecy. Forged in pain. Chosen by the Moon Goddess—whether she wants it or not. After surviving her father’s brutality and discovering the truth of the white wolf within her, Zahra Larkin thought the worst was behind her. But evil doesn’t die—it waits. Beyond the borders of the supernatural kingdoms, a dark god stirs. Monvar, Lord of Shadows, feeds on fear and faithlessness, twisting hearts and turning packs against one another. As belief in the Moon Goddess fades, his power grows, and Zahra’s very existence becomes both a beacon of hope and a target for destruction. When Zahra is taken by Monvar’s followers, her world shatters again. Tortured, broken, and isolated, she must find a way to survive long enough to escape—and to face what she’s becoming. Because the blood of Selene runs in her veins, and if she falls, the Goddess’s light could die with her. Haunted by trauma and hunted by darkness, Zahra must learn to trust the four fated mates bound to her soul. Together they hold the key to awakening her Lycan power—and saving the supernatural world from annihilation. But love and destiny demand sacrifice. And the girl who was once marked by fate must now decide whether to embrace her divine power… or let the shadows win.

Max's POVWe file inside, and the moment the girl sees Christoph, she cries out, her face crumpling and her eyes welling. The relief on her face is almost painful to look at.“Thank the Goddess, you're here. We have to hurry!”I don't take a seat, instead choosing to stand by the window as my uncle, grandfather and Christoph take seats beside her bed. The other two stand around the walls like me.“Why didn't you contact me?” Christoph asks, taking Aubrey's hand from the bed.“I couldn't. That bitch tricked me into drinking something that stripped away the communication spell. I'm not sure if it was on purpose or a coincidence, but I couldn't. The only way I could get the message out was to run, and they hunted me.”My skin prickles. A spell inside her w

Max's POVI press Luca's name as I move away. I see the warriors and my uncle and grandfather coming out of the house to escort the witches somewhere safe, so I focus on my call. It rings and rings, but finally, just as I'm about to give up, it connects.“Max? Is that you?” Luca's concern is clear in his voice. “Are you alright? Where are you? We're all worried sick!”A familiar stab of guilt hits me, but this isn't the time to unpack that particular mess.“Alpha Luca, good afternoon. I'm sorry to call.”“Don't be silly,” he interrupts. “How are you?”“I'm afraid I've not called for a catch-up. I have a rather delicate and potentially dangerous situation here, and I need your help.”“What's going on?” The change in his voice is instant, and I can imagine him sitting up straighter in his chair as he focuses on the problem.“We have just received a visit from three humans claiming to be witches.” I hear his sharp inhale. “They're also claiming that they have an alliance with King James.

Max's POVThe angle of the sun slanting through the curtains tells me it's afternoon by the time I wake up. I yawn, stretching. Goddess, I've not slept that well in a long time. I feel like I've been passed out ever since I laid my head down. No dreams, no... bond shenanigans. Nothing. Even Medus is still half asleep somewhere in the back of my head, which might be a first since we were mated to Zahra.I head into the shower and turn it slightly colder than usual to wake myself up. I showered the grime off before I went to bed, but I'm going to need to be alert when I re-join the world. No early morning allowances in the afternoon.I head straight to my uncle's study when I get downstairs and knock on the door.“Enter,” he calls, and when I push open the door, I see Harrison lounging in the chair in front of the desk and my grandfather leaning against the wall by the window.“Ah, Max, feeling rested?” Grandfather asks, his face warm as he looks me over.“Yeah, thank you. I think I sle

Max's POVBefore she can do more than pant and blink up at me, I feel my uncle and some of the warriors coming up behind us.She cowers back from the group, scrabbling over the ground to back away.“Stay back. Don't touch me,” she stammers, her voice trembling. She's looking at us like we're about to finish what the rogues started.Her blood is pooling beneath her, and I can hear her heart rate accelerating as her blood pressure falls.“We're not going to hurt you. We killed all the rogues chasing you. You're safe now,” I reassure her, holding my hands up placatingly and trying to keep my voice low. “What's your name?”She shakes her head.I take in more of her. She's beautiful, with deep green eyes, bright auburn hair and small, delicate, almost elfin features. Her eyes flick between all of us, and she's clearly terrified, but my uncle is quiet, and I assume that means he's letting me lead on this.“I'm Max. Will you let me pick you up and take you to a healer before you lose any mor

Max's POVThe water's cool as it runs over my heated skin. A cold shower sometimes helps take the edge off the bond as it's waning, but I can't work out if it's helping yet. The grey of early morning is beginning to creep in through the bathroom window as I stand here.I examine my cock. Yep, I'm fairly sure that's a friction burn. The skin is tender and raw in places, and I wince as I accidentally stroke my finger over it. Medus will heal it once he's awake, but fuck, I've literally wanked so much tonight I've burnt my own cock.Fuck knows what they were up to tonight. I close my eyes against the onslaught of images and sensations I received as my brain catalogues them.Yeah, they're having a fucking wonderful time, wherever they all are.I sigh, my head falling back and hitting the tiled wall behind me.Gammy says I should write her a letter, that I need to be the first to reach out and communicate. She says a letter will let me say everything I want and need to say without getting

Aubrey's POVNo one moves. I see a few pairs of eyes glaze over as they mind-link.Jaws turns back to face the boy.“Your information will be verified. You will wait here as our guest until we can confirm you are not leading us astray. After that... we can discuss your reward.”“Thank... thank you,” the boy stammers, bowing his head slightly, his body still trembling with nerves.Jaws nods, and the large man still holding his collar drags the boy out of the tent.“Do you believe him?” the bald man in front of me asks.“If he had nothing to gain from telling us, I'd say it was likely fabricated. But in exchange for his pack...” Jaws pauses thoughtfully. “I'd say there's a strong likelihood the information is correct. And Shadow is right where the locator spell has placed her.”“Nothing changes. We move north and send scouts,” Monvar says, and the men at the table nod.The meeting wraps up after that, and I wait for Catalina. She sits and talks with Jaws for a while, flirting and smilin
