THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE The Weight of Returning
The accusation came out laden with genuine horror.Lucien immediately looked offended.His brows drew together as though she had just accused him of committing a personal betrayal."Forgot what?"Anastasia stared at him.Then gasped… Not a dramatic gasp or one of her usual exaggerated ones. But a real gasp.The very kind born from pure disbelief."Tomorrow… Our family hunting season!"The words burst out of her.As though the very idea of forgetting such an important event was unthinkable.Silence followed…For exactly one second.Then!Anana laughed… A soft laugh at first… Then a fuller one.Beside her, Lucien released a long sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose.The reaction immediately made Anastasia suspicious.Her eyes narrowed slowly.She looked at Anana… Then at Lucien… Then back at Anana again."You did forget."The accusation came with renewed certainty."We did not."Lucien's response was immediate.Anana nodded in agreement, amusement still moving in her eyes."Not when
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE The Look of Horror
The moment the carriage rolled to a stop, the door flew open.Anastasia stepped out.Almost immediately, her eyes found them… her parents, patiently waiting.The smile that spread across her face was instantaneous… so bright, effortless, and utterly impossible to contain."Mother!""Father!"Without a second thought, she broke into a sprint.Servants nearby immediately stepped aside while several guards exchanged knowing smiles.They had seen this countless times before… No matter how old Anastasia became, this part never changed.She charged across the courtyard like a tiny storm."Father!"Lucien barely had time to open his arms before she launched herself at him.The impact would have knocked most people backwards.Lucien didn't even move.A laugh escaped him as he caught her effortlessly, one arm wrapping around her waist as though she weighed absolutely nothing."There she is."Anastasia immediately threw both arms around his neck.The grin on her face could have rivaled the sun
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE A Daughter's Struggle
Anana blinked."What?"Lucien's eyes narrowed slightly."What are you thinking about?"For a moment, she looked away.And that alone told him everything he needed to know.The concern in his gaze deepened.Because now he was certain… Something was bothering her.His grip tightened ever so slightly around her hand."My woman..."The words came out low and gentle.Lucien lifted his free hand and carefully tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.His fingers lingered for a moment.A small breath escaped Anana.A faint smile touched his lips."You forget who you're talking to."His gaze remained fixed on hers."I've spent too many years loving you to miss a face like this."His thumb brushed lightly against her cheek."You can smile for the entire world if you want."His voice softened further."But you can't hide from me."The warmth in his eyes never wavered."So tell me what's troubling you."Neither of them rushed the silence.Lucien simply waited.And eventually...Anana relente
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE A Silence Lucien Couldn't Ignore
While Anastasia was still at the academy...Far away from classrooms, lessons, and troublesome boys...Life within the Crimson Blood Pack continued as usual.Or at least...As usual as it could be.Inside one of the private chambers overlooking the inner courtyard, Anana sat comfortably curled into a large fur chair, a book resting open in her lap.The sight alone would have surprised most people who knew her.Years ago, she never would have imagined spending an afternoon like this.There had been a time when Anana would have chosen a sparring ground over a book without a second thought. Sitting still for hours and turning pages had never been her idea of enjoyment.Yet somewhere along the way, motherhood had changed her in ways she never expected. It had unlocked parts of herself she hadn't known existed.Like appreciation for peaceful moments like this.Her attention remained completely absorbed in the pages before her.So absorbed, in fact, that she failed to notice the massive bla
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE The Center of Attention
Lunch break finally arrived.The rune carved above the classroom door pulsed once before its familiar blue glow shifted into a bright, vivid red.A collective sigh of relief swept through the classroom.The lesson was over.Chairs scraped against the floor… Books snapped shut…Almost immediately, conversations erupted from every corner of the room, filling the room with noise.Students stood from their seats… Groups formed… Laughter filled the air.The classroom instantly transformed from a place of study into a sea of movement and voices.And unfortunately...A good portion of those voices seemed to be talking about Anastasia.At first, she ignored it… Or at least, she tried to.Anana's words from the previous night lingered in the back of her mind.The world will spend a long time telling you who they think you are.The right people will see you.So she endured it… The glances… The whispers.The conversations that mysteriously died whenever she looked in their direction, only to res
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE The Wrong Person Heard
The words broke out low, strangled by anger he wasn’t fully controlling anymore.His hands curled into fists at his sides, knuckles whitening… Shoulders rising like he was holding something back with sheer force.Then he moved fast.A sudden step forward that made a few students flinch back instinctively.His arm came up… Too quickly.Chair legs screeched again as someone gasped aloud.But before the motion could complete… A hand shot out and caught his wrist hard.The second boy.The impact stopped him mid-motion, but not the energy behind it.The first boy was still shaking… still trying to move forward even as he was held.His breath came heavier now, hot and uncontrolled.“Don’t.”The second boy’s voice was low, tense… Barely audible. But firm enough to hold weight.The first boy didn’t look at him at first.His eyes were still locked on Anastasia… Burning and furious. Like he wasn’t seeing a person anymore… just the target of everything boiling inside him.The second boy leaned
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE A Story Every Student Hears
The room froze immediately. Several students turned instinctively. Others followed a heartbeat later. And just like that, dozens of eyes landed on Anastasia.Even students who had managed to forget her presence during the lesson suddenly remembered exactly who was sitting in the classroom with the
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE The Four Foundations
He wrote a single word beneath the drawing.ADVANTAGEThe white stone scratched softly across the board.Several students leaned forward in their seats. Others hurriedly copied the word into their memory parchment.The teacher stepped back and looked at the class.“Tell me,” he said. “What is stren
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE The Weight of a Name
This time, the question carried weight. Not spoken casually but rather spoken carefully, as though it might summon attention they couldn’t handle.“She’s really that young?” another voice followed, low and disbelieving, almost unsettled by the sight in front of them.A pause…Then a sharper whisper
THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE The Alpha God of War’s Daughter
By the next morning, preparations had already been made for Anastasia to begin school.Not just any school… But the very academy where supernatural children were sent immediately after their first manifestation.The Supernatural Academy.The moment the large black carriage rolled through the academ
