Isabella’s pov

Later, when the house had settled into uneasy silence, I sat staring at the flickering firelight, the weight of the revelations pressing down on me. Vienna was my sister, an unspoken part of this fractured family, and her warning rang like a bell tolling a death sentence.

I could still feel her eyes on me, the promise and threat intertwined. Cain’s claim was not just about packs or power. It was about bloodlines, dark magic, and a fate I was only beginning to understand.

But outside, the wind picked up, carrying with it a low, mournful howl.

The house felt heavier than ever, like a storm brewing just outside the windows, ready to break loose and drown everything inside. Vienna’s words echoed in my mind: Cain plans to claim me — no matter what. Those words weighed on my chest, dragging down the fragile calm I had clung to since arriving at the Slade estate.

Helena’s face was pale, her eyes flickering with guilt and fear. She avoided looking at me directly, as if admitti

  • Fated to the Forbidden Three: A Triple Mate Bond   The siege begins

    Isabella’s POV The first arrow pierced the sky just before dawn.It thudded into the high wall of the Slade estate, embedding itself with a quiver that sang of war. Moments later, a volley followed—arrows black as pitch, whistling through the air like shrieking crows. The sound was enough to jolt even the most hardened warriors awake. The estate’s ancient bells began to toll, their peals echoing across the courtyards like a death knell.The siege had begun, Cain had attacked the pack.From the high towers, smoke could be seen billowing in the far treeline. Cain’s forces, hundreds, maybe thousands—swarmed the outer fields. Clad in dark leather and blood red sashes, they moved like a tide of shadow. At their front marched the Black Guard, Cain’s elite, soulless warriors forged in blood rituals and bound to his will. The trees themselves seemed to wither in their wake.Within the estate, the Slade family and their allies scrambled to respond.Magnus Slade stood at the inner gate, silver

  • Fated to the Forbidden Three: A Triple Mate Bond   The uninvited guest

    Isabella’s pov The words hung between the trees like a challenge.“What do you mean, Sienna? And what makes you think that you can just walk in here and speak lies to me.” I challenged, even though fear was obvious in my voice. “You don’t need to try and act tough, Isabella, we both know that you're weak.” She laughed, a cold bitter laugh that angered me the most. “We’re sisters, Isabella. We’re a family, the prophecy confirmed it and sooner or later we’ll be reunited as one forever.”As her laugh echoed through the walls, I didn’t know if I should fear or hope. Then slowly, her laughter vanished and I woke up panting profusely. It was all a dream, another dream. But this one felt… real. Oh my moon goddess! What is going on? Is Sienna saying the truth that she’s my sister? What kind of life is this? Why can’t I have peace!It was almost like the moon goddess herself was punishing me, it was like I did something wrong to someone in my previous life and the goddess was punishing me

  • Fated to the Forbidden Three: A Triple Mate Bond   Blood on a cloth.

    Isabella’s pov When Magnus opened it, his face paled.A package lay on the doorstep and inside, a torn piece of Cain’s former Alpha cloak, soaked in dark, fresh blood.The message was clear: Cain was not done hunting and maybe now Magnus would believe me. The torn piece of cloth felt heavier in Darcy’s hands than any boulder I’d ever lifted. He stared at it with a snarl that didn’t reach his eyes.“He’s sending messages now,” Darcy growled, his voice low and laced with fury. “Cain’s not just coming for you, Isabella. He’s coming for us all.”The air in the room tightened around me, I could barely breathe, I was caught between the weight of the bloodstained token and the invisible threat it carried.I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold myself together, but every muscle in my body trembled with fear and anger.The tension that morning spilled over when Trenton cornered me in the kitchen. His eyes were stormy, his voice sharper than I’d ever heard.“Isabella, do you think

  • Fated to the Forbidden Three: A Triple Mate Bond   Scratches and secrets.

    Isabella’s pov I backed away from the door slowly, my breath trembling.And that was when the realization hit me, Cain was here.Not just in spirit, not just in whispers or hacked transmissions.His wolf had crossed into Moon Crest territory, and he wanted me back.I woke to a dull ache in my side and the low, steady sound of footsteps outside my door. Blinking awake, the first thing I noticed was the glow, soft and golden, filling the room. My eyes darted to the source: Darcy, crouched by my door, his amber eyes burning with a fierce protectiveness.He didn’t look away when I met his gaze, “You didn’t hear me come in,” he said quietly, his voice low and steady. “I wanted to make sure you were safe.”I sat up slowly, wincing as my ribs protested. The scratches on the door behind him were ugly, jagged marks, deep claw gouges carved into the wood, the word ‘MINE’ stop etched on the door.Cain’s wolf was close, it was the bitter past that didn’t want to let me go. Darcy stood, his jaw

  • Fated to the Forbidden Three: A Triple Mate Bond   A house of broken lies.

    Isabella’s POVThe skin over my heart glowed faintly in the moonlight. It had a mark, a circular, intricate mark, pulsing softly. It shimmered like stardust, but in its center, beneath the symbol of the triple bond, something darker pulsed like ink spreading through water.Something strange and foreign.I lifted my fingers to it, my breath catching.Something inside me had awakened, and it wasn’t just the bond.But what could it be?Unpacking should’ve felt like settling, like claiming space. But in the Slade household, even drawers whispered of secrets.My mother and I worked in silence as the sun rose higher, the room she’d been given in the east wing was tastefully cold—like everything in this house. Clean ivory walls, sharp steel finishes. A house that belonged to someone who didn't just expect order, he demanded it.I folded a blanket at the foot of her bed while she arranged her sparse collection of framed photos on the dresser. One of me, aged seven. One of her and my father,

  • Fated to the Forbidden Three: A Triple Mate Bond   Bloodlines and betrayals

    Isabella’s POVI asked, but it didn’t answer. But the shadows around it pulsed, and suddenly I saw flashes, visions, like pieces of a shattered mirror. A cradle, then fire. Then I saw a woman screaming. A child with glowing eyes.Then it was gone, the vision stopped. And my bond flared awake again like a heartbeat returning after death.I didn’t sleep the rest of the night, I didn’t dare.The words whispered by the cloaked stranger still echoed in my head, "You’re not who you think you are."The phrase twisted in my chest like a blade, I used to think that I didn’t know who Trenton really was. But it was beginning to look like I didn’t know myself either. Every second since then had felt too sharp, too loud. When dawn finally broke over Moon Crest territory, I knew I couldn’t ignore the storm building inside me anymore.I left my room with purpose, heading toward the south wing where my mother had taken up residence in one of the guest suites. I just opened the door and went in, I

    Isabella’s pov “He said he just wanted to talk to you. That he needed closure. He said... he loved you.”I stepped back like she’d slapped me. “And you believed him?”Her voice cracked. “He said he was sorry.”“That’s how he got past the border,” I whispered. “He used you.”The color drained from her face.Then footsteps thundered down the hall and Oliver burst in.“You need to come now,” he said. “All of you.”“What is it?” I asked.He didn’t answer until we reached the northern wing, where a massive stone wall had been split open.Crushed like paper and scrawled in blood across the entry arch:“You’re mine, Isabella. You always were.”My heart sank, Cain hadn’t moved on. He was here to cause chaos in my life and the Cain I knew wouldn’t stop until he achieved what he wanted. Until he got me back. That night, I didn’t sleep.Not because I wasn’t tired—but because I couldn’t stop replaying the whisper in the dark beside my window. The voice was loud, almost too loud to be a whispe

  • Fated to the Forbidden Three: A Triple Mate Bond   The breech

    Isabella’s pov The howl was still echoing in my ears as we rushed down the corridor.Darcy, Trenton, and Oliver had shifted into full protection mode, each of them tense, alert, and terrifyingly silent. My mother tried to stop me before I could follow, her hand gripping my wrist.“You stay here—”“I’m not hiding,” I snapped, jerking away. “You think Cain will stop just because I’m in the damn pantry?”My mothers face blanched, but she didn’t argue.Outside, the Moon Crest estate was bathed in silver moonlight, shadows stretching unnaturally long across the stone courtyard. Guards were already posted, weapons drawn, eyes scanning the tree line. But the howls had gone silent.Darcy was speaking in low tones to the patrol captain when a low growl rumbled from the eastern treeline, and then—movement.The movement was too fast, it was too calculated. A shadow broke through the tree line and darted straight past the first layer of guards, teeth bared, eyes glowing red.“Cain’s wolves,”
