All Chapters of Bound By Fate, Burned By Love : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

DAMON “Turns out you’re not so tough without your teammates, are you?” The voice was laced with mockery, each word dripping like poison as my hands pressed against the grimy wall, blood smearing across it as I struggled to keep my balance. All I wished for right now was to disintegrate into the wall as regret hit me. I should’ve said no to this mission. Hell, I should’ve been curled up in my room right now, binge-watching some gay porn movie and giving in to simpler urges while masturbating. Instead, I was here—broken, bleeding, and staring death in the face. “Hunter, I’m talking to you.” The punch came hard and fast, snapping my head to the side. Pain bloomed like fireworks behind my eyes, and the sharp, metallic tang of blood filled my mouth. My jaw clenched, swallowing the groan that tried to escape. “I don’t know what you want me to say,” I spat, tasting my defiance mingled with the blood on my tongue as I glared at them.A slap followed—sharp, humiliating, and blinding.

DAMON“Finally got your task?” I jumped, my heart nearly leaping out of my chest as Luciano’s voice cut through the silence the moment I stepped into my room and bolted the door. He was there, standing by the window, shrouded in the faint glow of moonlight. Calm. Unbothered. Dangerous. “What the hell are you doing here?” I hissed as I double checked if I had actually locked the door. “How did you even get in? Are you trying to get me killed?” I whispered, taking off my booths as I used the corner of my palm to wipe my tears so he wouldn't see them. If he did, he would know I had been crying since I knew I would be the one to execute him.“That’s not the answer to my question.” He leaned casually against the frame, the faintest smirk playing on his lips, so effortlessly composed it made my blood boil. He looked exactly as he had years ago when I first met him—infuriatingly perfect and utterly untouchable. “What does it matter to you?” I snapped, pacing the room in an attempt

DAMON“Drop your sabers, Mr. and Mrs. Claw,” Luciano said smoothly, his voice carrying an unnatural weight that sent chills down my spine. He casually stood, pulling his pants on with an unbothered air, as if he hadn’t just turned my world upside down. “Now, walk to your room, get some rest, and forget everything you saw tonight. It’s better that way—for all of us.” I blinked, stunned into silence as my parents immediately obeyed. Their weapons clattered to the ground, and without a word, they turned and walked out, their faces blank and eerily calm. It was as if they were sleepwalking, utterly detached from reality. “What the hell…” I whispered, watching them disappear into the hallway. “Why are they doing what you said? Did you hypnotize them?” Luciano’s gaze flicked to me, his expression unreadable. He adjusted the cuffs of his shirt like this was the most mundane thing in the world. “You could say I… encouraged them. It’s a little trick I’ve picked up over the years.” I st

DamonLuca and I headed back home in his car, mine had gone bad this morning so dad had asked me to use a cab, he would fix it for me. Of all the things, I was grateful I had him. He had his claws but he loved and cared for me deeply. I wasn't exactly eager to get back home, especially after what I and Luciano had just done. My mind went back to that moment in the room, alone with him. There was yesterday's night and now this, how could I stay away from him like this? I always fell back into him when he was there. Now that I was about to be let in to officially hunt, I knew I would have to somehow find a way to cut the whole relationship off. There was no way it would stay a secret, somehow they would find out and I would be doomed. My mind was full of different ideas, thoughts about what to do and I didn't like the restlessness I felt. I wished there was a way to get rid of all the trouble. Maybe some magic?The thought was hilarious and I quickly waved it away. I knew I couldn't

Chapter 9DamonI knew what he was talking about before he elaborated. It had happened a while ago, the first time he claimed but it had been so bad his parents had nearly separated. His dad hit his mom. Luca had told me about it and I almost found it unbelievable. It would be very weird to say this but if he hadn't witnessed it, I wouldn't have believed it. Mr Romano was a very calm, even tempered man from what I knew. I had been around him along with my dad and from their interactions it had been normal. The way he also addressed me was very normal, there was no sign of a temper. Nobody would have believed Mrs Romano if she didn't have Luca as a witness. “What?" I exclaimed in surprise. From what he had told me, it had happened only once, now that it was happening again, it was a shock to both of us. Would Mr Romano make this a consistent thing I wondered to myself. “Yes, mom had been asking him about where he had been at for the past four days, he began screaming and that was t
