FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother Growth in our relationship
Gianna.One minute we were standing in the foyer of the house, bags barely zipped, tension still hanging in the air like a storm that hadn’t fully decided whether to break or pass. The next minute, we were pulling up at the community gates.Even if a part of me wanted to protest, I couldn’t. Not really. The image of Rue still sitting somewhere alone, Alina somewhere in the shadows… it all pressed too hard against my chest. I hated that I understood the urgency now. I hated that I was becoming someone who didn’t question it anymore.We needed training. I needed training.I had to wake up from whatever soft, fragile fantasy still wanted to believe my sister was just… lost, not gone.So when mum said we had to leave, there wasn’t much arguing left in me. We packed quickly. Too quickly. Like if we moved fast enough, we wouldn’t have to feel anything fully.“I’ll see you around, yeah?” Ivan said beside me, his hand brushing my elbow in that quiet, grounding way he always did without even t
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother Blood-stained threat
Gianna.Morning came… but it didn’t feel like it.It felt like the night had just… faded into something lighter, not softer. Like the darkness was still sitting somewhere in my chest, just quieter now.I was awake before my alarm.Not fully.Just… there.Eyes open. Staring at the ceiling.Thinking.Always thinking.My phone was still in my hand from last night.I swallowed, my throat dry as I locked it and dropped it beside me, turning my head to the side.Maybe she listened again. Maybe she didn’t. Maybe she heard everything and just—Didn’t care.That thought sat heavier than it should have.I pushed myself up slowly, my body feeling heavier than usual, like sleep didn’t really do anything except pass time.Getting ready felt… off.I stood in front of my closet, staring at clothes like they were supposed to make decisions for me.My hand reached out.i didn't like any of the options I was seeing.I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair.Why does this even matter?Still—I
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother A message.
Gianna.Everybody started rushing outside.It wasn’t gradual. It wasn’t calm. One second the music was vibrating through my bones, bodies moving, laughter spilling everywhere… and the next, it all snapped.Chairs scraped. Drinks spilled. Voices rose over each other in sharp, panicked bursts.“What happened?” “Is it real?” “Someone said it’s outside—”My fingers tightened around Ivan’s shirt before I even realized I had grabbed him.Our eyes met.That split second— Silent. Heavy. Saying everything without words.Then we moved.Together.The air outside hit me differently. Colder. Sharper. Like it knew something I didn’t want to see.Murmurs spread like wildfire, rippling through the crowd in uneven waves. People stood in clusters, some on their toes trying to see, others backing away like distance alone could protect them from whatever waited ahead.Ivan’s hand found mine again. Firm. Anchoring.We pushed through the crowd.Step by step.Until—I saw it.And I froze.Not slowed. Not he
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother A dead body.
Gianna.I didn’t realize I had stopped breathing……until my chest started to ache.Like my lungs had been quietly begging for air and I had just—ignored them.Alina was still standing there.Watching.Smiling.Not a real smile.Not the kind that warms anything.It just… sat there. Sharp. Unsettling. Like it belonged on someone else’s face.Like it knew something I didn’t.My fingers tightened around Ivan’s hand without me even thinking about it.“Ivan…” My voice came out thinner this time, like something fragile had slipped into it. “She’s here.”He followed my line of sight.And I felt it.The exact second his body shifted.It wasn’t dramatic.No sudden movement.No obvious reaction.But I knew him now.Knew the way his shoulders squared just slightly… the way his grip on my hand tightened, firmer… more intentional.Protective.Grounding.“Stay here,” he muttered.Like this was something he could handle on his own.Like he could just step in and fix it.“No—” My fingers tightened aro
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother The party
Gianna.The party invite sat on my screen longer than it should have.Bright. Loud. Tempting.Like it didn’t understand the kind of chaos it was inviting me into.My thumb hovered over the screen, unmoving… suspended… like if I stayed there long enough, the decision would make itself.A party.Crowded.Loud music.People.And possibly… Rue.My stomach twisted immediately, tight and sharp, like something had reached inside me and clenched.What if she’s there?What if she sees me?What if she looks at me like that again—That look.Not anger.Not even hate.Fear.My chest dipped inward at the memory, breath catching halfway like it didn’t want to go any further.I dropped my phone onto the bed, dragging both hands down my face slowly, pressing my palms into my eyes like I could erase the image burned there.I shouldn’t go.That was the smart decision.Stay home.Avoid everything.Avoid her.Avoid the way my chest tightens every time she walks away from me like I’m something dangerous…
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother Tiffany is back.
Ivan.I still couldn’t wrap my head around the curse.It sat somewhere behind my mind like a stone that refused to sink, no matter how much I tried to ignore it. Every time I thought of Gianna, it pressed harder, like it knew exactly where to hurt.Things were finally good between us. Properly good. The kind of good that made mornings feel lighter and silence feel safe.And now this.Almost like the universe had looked at us and decided we weren’t allowed peace for too long. But fate didn't play fair. It never did.I stepped out of the shower, dragging a towel through my damp hair, staring at my reflection like it might give me answers it didn’t have.Gianna.Curse.Twelve-year cycle.One dies. One turns rogue.I exhaled sharply.Why did it have to be us?My phone rang.I frowned immediately at the screen.Tiffany.Why was she calling? And at this hour?And why did it feel like my stomach already knew this wasn’t going to be simple?I stared at it for a second too long.Should I even
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother surprise!
Gianna. The sound of my phone ringing dragged me out of a half-dream. I groaned, rolling over and fumbling for it on my side drawer. My voice came out raspy when I answered without even checking who it was.“Hello.”“Get the hell up, sleepyhead.”I blinked. “Rue?”“Of course, it’s me. Don’t tell m
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother The confrontation
Gianna. I didn’t want to believe it.Even as the words replayed in my head — He marked us — I kept shaking my head like it was some twisted nightmare I’d wake up from. But every time my fingers brushed that tender spot on my neck, the pain reminded me it was real.Ivan had marked me.Without askin
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother The girl in my dreams
Gianna.I woke up with my heart racing, sweat prickling along my skin. The remnants of the dream clung to me like fog. I could see it all so clearly—the old house, the smell of wood and rain, and the girl beside me. She was laughing, running through the halls like we were playing some game only we
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother I shouldn't have distracted you
Gianna.I had already gotten dressed and made my way to the training room for combat.The building loomed ahead of me, solid and cold, the air inside carrying the faint smell of sweat, stone, and something metallic. Training always left a weight in my chest, not fear exactly, but awareness. Like my
