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   something to hold unto

    Gianna.The ride back felt longer than it should have.Not because of the distance.Because of everything sitting quietly between it.The moment we stepped out, mum was already there.Waiting.Like she hadn’t just been told something that could split everything open and leave nothing the same.Her eyes found mine immediately.And something in them softened… just a little too much.“Mum—”She didn’t let me finish.Her arms wrapped around me before I could even process it. Tight. Careful. Like she was trying not to break something fragile.Or maybe… like she thought I already was.I stood there for a second.Stiff. Unsure.Then slowly—I melted into it.My fingers curled lightly into the back of her shirt, gripping just enough to ground myself. She smelled the same. Warm. Familiar. Safe.And for a moment—everything else went quiet.She pulled back just enough to look at me, her hand coming up to cup my face, her thumb brushing lightly over my cheek like she needed to feel that I was st

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   Not everyone survives being broken

    Gianna.The seer didn’t look at him.Her eyes were still on me.“I know why you came.”A pause.Then—“It has already begun.”My brows pulled together before I could stop it.“What has?” I asked.Her head tilted slightly.Not confused.Not surprised.Just… interested.“You feel it,” she said.Not a question.A statement.My fingers twitched faintly at my sides.And right on cue—that pressure behind my eyes pulsed again.Sharp.Quick.Gone before I could fully react.I swallowed.“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Her lips curved faintly.Not a smile.Something quieter.Something that made it feel like she knew exactly what I was trying not to say.“You will.”Silence settled again.Heavier now.Thicker.Like the room itself was listening.Ivan stepped forward slightly beside me.“We were told there’s a way to break it,” he said, his voice steady. Controlled.Her gaze finally shifted to him.Slow.Measured.“There is.”The words didn’t feel like relief.They didn’t open anythin

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   Ready?

    Gianna.The moment his lips left mine, the world didn’t rush back in the way I expected it to.It didn’t crash. Didn’t flood.It just… hovered.Like everything around me had paused mid-breath, waiting. Not for him. Not for anything outside of me.For me.Ivan’s hand was still at my waist, his thumb brushing lightly against the fabric of my shirt in slow, absent movements. Not impatient. Not demanding. Just… there. Like he needed that small contact to stay grounded.Or maybe that was me.I didn’t move.Because moving meant thinking.And thinking meant going back to it.Break the mate bond.The words didn’t hit like a punch. Not this time.They settled.Slow. Heavy. Unavoidable.My chest tightened, but it wasn’t sharp panic. It wasn’t that drowning feeling I was used to when things got too real.This was quieter.Deeper.Like something inside me had stopped reacting… and started listening instead.I stepped back slightly.Not away from him.Just enough to breathe.His hand slipped from

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   The cost of the curse.

    Gianna.The silence that followed my question felt heavier than the words that came before it.Ivan didn’t speak.Marcus didn’t either.And that… that was worse.Because silence only ever shows up when the truth is already too close to the surface.My pulse slowed in a strange way. Not calm. Just focused. Like my body was preparing for impact before my mind caught up.“I asked a question,” I said again, softer this time, but sharper underneath.Ivan shifted slightly.I noticed it immediately.That small movement he always made when he was trying to decide between honesty and protection.Marcus finally let out a breath.“Gianna—”“No,” I cut in quickly, my voice firmer now. “Don’t do that. Don’t start with my name like it’s supposed to calm me down.”Something flickered across Marcus’s face. Not anger. More like… understanding he didn’t want to have.Ivan stepped forward half a step.“Gia, it’s not what you think—”“That’s exactly what people say when it is what I think.”My chest tigh

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   What haven't you told me?

    Gianna.The walk back to my cabin felt longer than it actually was.Not because the distance had changed… but because my steps didn’t feel like they belonged to me anymore. Each one landed a fraction too heavy, a fraction too late, like I was following my own body instead of controlling it.I tightened my grip on the door handle when I got there.Just for a second.Breathing in.Out.Then I pushed it open.The cabin was quiet.Too quiet.The kind of quiet that didn’t feel peaceful… just empty. Like the walls were waiting for me to fill the silence with thoughts I didn’t want to think.I shut the door behind me and leaned against it for a moment, letting my head fall back lightly.My eyes closed.And immediately—That pressure again.Stronger now.It pulsed behind my eyes, not sharp, not painful enough to drop me to my knees… but deep. Like something pressing outward from inside my skull, testing the edges.I exhaled slowly.“This is getting ridiculous,” I muttered under my breath.But

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   Loosing control.

    Gianna.Morning in the community never really felt like morning.It felt like the forest was stretching awake in layers, slow and watchful, like even the trees were deciding whether they trusted the day yet. The air outside my cabin was cool, sharp in my lungs in a way that made me more aware of every breath I took.I sat on the edge of my bed for a moment longer than necessary.That same pressure was there again.Behind my eyes.Not painful enough to scream for attention… but persistent enough that I couldn’t ignore it either. It had started sometime last night before I finally forced myself to sleep, like something had settled inside my skull and decided it wasn’t leaving anytime soon.My fingers lifted slowly, pressing lightly against my temple.I tilted my head slightly like that might reset something.It didn’t.It stayed.Waiting.Like it was studying me instead of hurting me.I exhaled through my nose, slow and controlled.“Probably just training fatigue,” I muttered, but even

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   Nothing feels stable.

    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

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   We're mates

    Gianna.My body was already betraying me.Bones cracking.Muscles stretching.Something inside me clawing its way out like it had been waiting for this exact moment.And then—“Gia…?”Rue’s voice.Soft. Shaking.Too close.No no no no—Why is she still here?Why isn’t she running?I told her to run

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   The full moon.

    Gianna.I spotted Rue before she saw me.She was pacing.Not the casual kind. Not the “I’m bored” kind. No—this was a restless, agitated movement. Back and forth. Back and forth. Like she was trying to outwalk whatever was sitting in her chest.Her phone was clutched tightly in her hand, fingers t

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   He loves me

    Gianna.The next two days passed in a blur.Not the slow kind of blur where hours drag their feet and refuse to move. No. These two days moved like someone had pressed fast-forward on my life.One moment I was sitting in class trying to copy down notes before the lecturer erased the board. The next
