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.

My chest heaved as another sharp snap tore through me, my spine arching violently. My fingers dug into the ground, nails splitting, reshaping—

And then it hit me.

Her scent.

Fear.

It rolled off her

  • 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   Would we be able to find our way back to each other?

    Ivan.Morning in the community never really felt like morning.It felt like the world hadn’t fully decided who it wanted to be yet. Like even the air was standing there, waiting for permission to either soften… or turn sharp.I stood at the edge of the training grounds, watching the warriors move in steady formation. Boots hitting packed earth in rhythm. Swords cutting through air with clean precision. From far away, everything looked controlled. Almost peaceful.From far away.“Alpha.”Kade’s voice pulled me back.My beta.He wasn’t just assigned to me. He was inherited into it. His father had been my father’s beta, and somehow that line had just… continued like it was written somewhere long before we were born. But Kade wasn’t just legacy. He was choice too. My choice. Because somewhere between growing up beside him and surviving too many things together, he’d become the only person I didn’t have to question.Still, I didn’t look at him immediately.“Report,” I said.He stepped besi

  • 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 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

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   the space between us

    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

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   A reminder of what monsters people you love could turn to

    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
