Gianna.

I spent the entire day wishing the clock would hurry up and trip over itself. Every lecture dragged, every minute stretched thin, my focus slipping back to one thing and one thing only. Alina.

By the time my last class ended, relief rushed through me so fast it left my chest light.

I waited by my car, keys dangling loosely from my fingers. When I finally saw her weaving through the crowd, my pulse jumped.

Her steps slowed when she spotted me, and without meaning to, my face softened.

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   Nostalgia

    Gianna.I spent the entire day wishing the clock would hurry up and trip over itself. Every lecture dragged, every minute stretched thin, my focus slipping back to one thing and one thing only. Alina. By the time my last class ended, relief rushed through me so fast it left my chest light.I waited by my car, keys dangling loosely from my fingers. When I finally saw her weaving through the crowd, my pulse jumped. Her steps slowed when she spotted me, and without meaning to, my face softened. My eyes warmed, my lips curving upward before I could stop it.She slid into the passenger seat, tossing her bag at her feet.“Have you told mum?” she asked, fastening her seatbelt as the door shut with a soft thud.I started the engine. “Nope. She’s still at work with Marcus. So you’ll see her when they get back.”She nodded once, then turned toward the window. The silence between us wasn’t awkward, just peaceful.As I pulled into the driveway, her breath caught.“Wow,” she whispered, craning h

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   My sister

    Gianna.I finally arrived at campus, parking my car with a shaky hand, the engine still ticking softly. My heart was thrumming in my chest like it wanted to escape. I grabbed my bag and rushed toward the usual bench, scanning the area as soon as I saw Cassie and Rue waiting there."Any signs of Alina?" I asked immediately, my voice a little higher than I intended. My stomach twisted in nervous anticipation, my fingers gripping the strap of my bag like it could anchor me."Nope," they said almost simultaneously, shaking their heads.I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay calm, but my mind was already racing a thousand steps ahead."We have to attend some speech stuff they're doing," Rue said, standing up, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. I glanced around the surrounding campus as we left for the hall, my eyes scanning every face, every passing student, hoping to spot her familiar ginger hair.We sat down, the seats squeaking slightly under our weight. The speech started, an

    Gianna. I got to my room and let out a loud scream then took my journal and headed straight to the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes and lay in the tub filled with warm water as I wrote down my thoughts. The water dulled everything. The noise. The anger. The ache. I felt a lot calmer after my bath and was about heading to bed when a knock interrupted. The knock echoed softly against my door, barely loud enough to be real, but still enough to pull me out of my thoughts. “Who is it?” I said folding my arms My voice came out sharper than I meant it to, my shoulders already tense, back pressed against the door like I was bracing for impact. “Your favorite person” Ivan said The tension cracked instantly. I hated how automatic it was. The smile crossed my face before I could stop it, small and traitorous. He twisted the door knob and stepped inside, then closed the door behind him. “And who said you’re my favorite person?” I said, I leaned against the edge of my desk, trying to

    Gianna.“Your sister? Your parents never mentioned her” the dean saidHis tone was polite, but his eyebrows knitted together slightly, suspicion creeping into his expression. He leaned back in his chair, fingers folding together like this was a puzzle he hadn’t been warned about. My stomach tightened instantly. That sentence alone felt like a door slamming somewhere deep in my chest.“It’s complicated,what was she here for?”The words left my mouth quicker than my thoughts could catch up. I stood straighter, chin lifting in a way that felt defensive, like if I didn’t hold myself together physically, I’d unravel right there in front of him.“She transferred here”Transferred.The room tilted. Just slightly. Enough to make me dig my nails into my palm. So she hadn’t just passed through. She planned to stay. My heart thudded, loud and uneven, like it was trying to outrun the rest of me.“Okay uhm, can I have her address or uhm number? Anything?”I hesitated halfway through the sentence,

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   Finally meeting her.

    Gianna.Ivan lifted his head and placed a soft kiss on my lips.“We should go to bed.”“Yeah,” I said, my breath still shaky.He got out of the pool first, water sliding off his skin as he reached back to help me out. His grip was steady, careful, like he was still holding me together even after letting go. The night air kissed my damp skin immediately, and a shiver ran through me.I wrapped a towel around my waist and went straight to my room. I was already cold, inside and out, so I changed into fresh clothes without thinking too much about it. Soft fabric. Long sleeves. Safety. Then I crawled onto my bed, pulling the blanket over myself completely, hugging a pillow to my chest like it might anchor me.The room was quiet. Too quiet.And that’s when my thoughts finally caught up.I can’t believe I let him see me like that.My scar. The trembling. All of it.And I didn’t pull away this time.I didn’t even try to hide it.Something about the way he looked at me—like it wasn’t broken,

    Gianna.“We’re mates, Mum.”The words didn’t just land.They hit.And then—Silence.Not the quiet kind that settles gently into a room. Not the kind you can breathe through.This one pressed.Thick. Heavy. Suffocating.Like the air had turned solid and was forcing its way into my lungs, filling my chest until it felt too tight, too full, like I couldn’t take in anything else.No one moved.Mum just stood there, staring at me.Marcus didn’t blink.Ivan…Ivan looked shocked.I'm not even surprised because I didn’t expect to say it out loud either. It just… slipped. Like the truth got tired of being held back and forced its way out before I could stop it.And suddenly, I became hyper-aware of everything.The way my chest was rising too fast.The way my fingers were curled slightly at my sides, like I was still holding onto something that wasn’t there anymore.The way my heartbeat slammed against my ribs, loud enough it felt like everyone in the room could hear it.Say something.Do some

    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

    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

    Gianna.He flicks the cigarette over the edge of the rooftop like it means nothing.It spins once before disappearing into the dark below.His eyes never leave the guy who’d been holding it.Ivan’s posture is loose, almost lazy, hands relaxed at his sides—but there’s something coiled beneath it. So

    Gianna. I opened my eyes before my alarm went off, staring at the ceiling like it might give me answers if I stared long enough. My body felt… fine. Too fine. The kind of fine that lied. My muscles were loose, relaxed in a way they hadn’t been in days, and that annoyed me more than the headache I
