Gianna.

I woke up feeling lighter, there was still this ounce of heaviness in my chest but it felt… lighter.

Not gone. Not healed. Just shifted. Like something heavy had been moved slightly off-center, no longer pressing directly on my lungs. I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, letting myself breathe without rushing the feeling away.

I sat up rubbing my eyes and then his smell hit me.

I was still in his hoodie.

My fingers curled instinctively into the fabric as my brain scrambled

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   my first fight

    Gianna. I woke up to sunlight spilling over the bed board, brushing the floorboards with golden streaks. My legs tangled in the sheets for a moment longer—I wasn’t quite ready to leave the warmth—but I had a plan to step out, to move a little, breathe a little, feel the morning. I freshened up and left the room.The grounds were quiet as I padded down the hall, the soft thump of my bare feet against the wood echoing slightly. But there was a low hum of voices drifting from the training yard, and curiosity prickled at me. I crept closer, careful not to be seen, and froze when I recognized Ivan’s voice.“…found outsiders near the northern borders,” one of the soldiers said, tension cutting through his words.Ivan’s voice was calm but razor-sharp. “How many?”“Three. They were armed, but unprepared. They turned back when they caught our scent.”My stomach tightened. Outsiders? Close to the borders? The hairs on my neck stood on end, half from fear, half from that strange surge of excit

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   An alpha needs a luna

    Gianna. The welcome felt overwhelming in a way I couldn’t explain.Smiles came from every direction, warm hands brushing my arms, voices greeting me like I already belonged. I nodded, smiled back, murmured polite responses, but my shoulders stayed slightly drawn inward, like my body didn’t fully trust the warmth yet.When I finally reached my room and closed the door behind me, I rested my forehead against it for a brief second.Quiet.I turned around and took in the space. Sunlight filtered through the window, dust drifting lazily in the air. The bed looked untouched, the room simple but inviting. Safe.I set my bag down and began unpacking slowly, folding clothes with deliberate care. The repetitive motion calmed me. Each folded shirt felt like reclaiming a small piece of control.Then I heard it.Soft voices. Mutters. The sound of whispers trying to be quiet and failing.My hands stopped moving.I tilted my head, listening. Another whisper. A suppressed giggle.I moved toward the

I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, letting myself breathe without rushing the feeling away.I sat up rubbing my eyes and then his smell hit me.I was still in his hoodie.My fingers curled instinctively into the fabric as my brain scrambled to catch up. I looked around, slowly processing everything. My room. My bed. My window. Morning light.I was already back in my room, did he bring me back?Obviously.The thought made my chest tighten in a way that wasn’t painful. Just… full.I stood up and went to shower, yesterday's event still replaying in my head.He stayed with me.He stayed with me.I repeated it like my brain was trying to process what I was saying, like if I said it enough times it would finally sink in. My shoulders lo

    Ivan.The rain hadn’t fully stopped by the time I pulled into the driveway.It drummed against the windshield in a way that felt almost accusatory, like it knew I’d found her too late. Gianna sat beside me, curled inward, my hoodie clutched in her fists like it was the only solid thing anchoring her to the seat. She didn’t look at me once during the drive. Her shoulders stayed hunched, chin tucked, breaths shallow. I cut the engine and the sudden silence felt too loud.For a second, neither of us moved.I got out first, the cold biting through my clothes, and jogged around to her side. When I opened the door, she flinched slightly, as if she’d been somewhere else entirely and I’d yanked her back.“Hey, you good?” I murmured, keeping my voice low.She nodded once, still not meeting my eyes.I offered my hand. She hesitated, then placed hers in mine. Her fingers were freezing. Not just cold. Numb-cold. The kind that made something tight twist in my chest.I stepped closer as she got o

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   The drift between us

    Gianna.I stared at him. He’s serious? My chest tightened, my hands curled into fists at my sides. My pulse raced, every nerve screaming at me—don’t trust him, don’t get close, don’t fall again.He waited, calm, steady, the way he always did, but his eyes… they were locked on mine, intense, unflinching. That look—it both terrified and enticed me. I could feel the pull, like gravity had shifted.“Okay…” I whispered, my voice barely audible even to myself. I wasn’t ready to say more, to let him in. Not yet. Not after everything. But my body betrayed me, leaning slightly toward him before I shoved the thought away.He took a step closer. My stomach tensed, my wolf stirring, senses sharpening. Why does being near him feel like standing on the edge of a cliff? I could feel the heat radiating from him, the faint brush of his presence against mine, and the world around us blurred.“Prove it,” I finally said, my voice low, trembling slightly despite myself. “If you really mean it, show me.”H

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   You set the rules

    Gianna.I woke up with the weight of another dream pressing against my chest. The same girl again—her face blurred, her voice familiar like a half-remembered song. A pang of nostalgia twisted through me, unsettling and soft at the same time. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I knew her, though my mind refused to give me any answers.My head throbbed painfully. I groaned and swung my legs off the bed, grabbing my robe. I had to check on Mum.She was just coming out of her room, her brow furrowed when she saw the lines of worry etched across my face.“What's wrong?” she asked, guiding me gently to sit on the edge of the bed.“I woke up with a bad headache… after another dream,” I admitted, rubbing my temples.“The same as yesterday?” she asked cautiously.“No. But similar… she was there again. Are you sure you can’t remember, Mum?”Her frown deepened. I could see her struggling, like she wanted to give me an answer but couldn’t.“I can’t, Gianna. There wasn’t any girl in your childhood
