FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother The weight of it all
Gianna. The week had been heavy. My “memories” kept coming back, fragments that didn’t quite fit but hurt anyway. Trying to pretend I didn’t see through Mum’s smiles felt like carrying stones in my chest. Every time I looked at her, I had to shove down a surge of hatred and confusion. “Earth to Gia!” Rue snapped, yanking me from my thoughts. “Oh—sorry. What were you saying?” I muttered, forcing a small smile. Cassie tilted her head. “Are you okay?” I nodded. “I’m fine. Go on, Rue.” “Okay, so—” Rue began, but Cassie cut her off. “You’ve been distracted a lot lately,” she said. My stomach clenched. “Oh my gosh! I’m trying to talk here!” Rue snapped. “Calm down, Rue,” Cassie said But rue defended,“Gia obviously doesn’t want us asking about her, you know?” Her words were careful, but the mention of my “eating disorder” made my chest tighten. It was a reminder of the lie I told. “So… let’s just leave it. If you’re not okay, you’ll talk to us, right?” Rue asked, softening. I nod
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother My mother's betrayal
GiannaGiggles ricocheted off the walls, bright and breathless, until the room felt too small to hold them.“Oh my god, Gia, my stomach hurts,” she gasped, half-laughing, half-groaning as she smacked my arm with weak hands. Her weight pressed into my side, warm and careless, and the floor felt cool beneath my palms as we rolled.“You’re crushing me, move,” I shouted, but the words dissolved into laughter before they could sound serious. My ribs ached, my face burned, my lungs begged for mercy.“I’m gonna get you,” she yelled, scrambling to her feet.I bolted, bare feet slapping against the floor, heart thundering with the thrill of it. The sound of her chasing me was right there, so close I could almost feel her fingers graze my back—I jerked upright with a sharp gasp, the laughter snapping like a string pulled too tight.Silence rushed in, thick and heavy.My room was dim, the curtains barely letting in the morning light. My chest rose and fell too fast, my skin clammy, my heart st
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother The love he never got to finish
Gianna.I took his hand and led him toward the poolside.He followed without resistance, but his fingers were tense in mine, stiff like he might pull away at any second. The night air felt cooler here, the water reflecting broken pieces of moonlight. We needed to sit. I needed him to sit.“Who’s Roselyn?” I asked softly.The question hung between us.He took a slow breath. Then another. His chest rose and fell like he was bracing himself against something unseen. For a second, I thought he wouldn’t answer. A part of me expected him not to. Ivan had never been this… anxious before. Not the controlled kind. This was different. This was raw.He shifted beside me, shoulders drawn inward, like he was folding in on himself.“She’s…” His voice faltered. He swallowed. “She was my friend. My best friend.”The words came slowly, carefully, as if each one cost him something.“I loved her,” he continued quietly. “So much.”Something tightened in my chest.“We did everything together,” he said, a

FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother Roselyn
Gianna.The doorbell rang as I hurriedly made my way downstairs, my socks sliding slightly against the polished floor. I didn’t bother slowing down. I swung the door open, breath already lifted in my chest.“Hi guys!!!” I said, a wide smile spreading across my face before I could stop it.“Hiiiii!” Rue and Cassie practically collided with me, arms wrapping around my shoulders, the familiar warmth of them sinking straight into my bones. Rue smelled like vanilla lotion, Cassie like whatever fruity gloss she always wore.“How are you?” Rue asked as we pulled apart, her hands still gripping my arms like she needed to be sure I was really there.“I’m very good, are you guys okay?” I asked, searching their faces.“Yupp,” Cassie said, popping the p as usual, her grin already stretching ear to ear.“Come on, the room’s all set up for our binge watching,” I said, already turning, already excited, already lighter than I’d been in days.Upstairs, my room felt different. Softer. Alive. Snacks wer
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

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 t
FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother have you already forgotten what happened the last time you let your guard down.
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 he
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, unflinc
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
