All Chapters of Marked by fate: Chapter 401 - Chapter 410

Xander's POVDinner was nice, if a little tense. Digby and Luna Niki were gracious and kept trying to diffuse the situation, but Alpha Dominic continued being an entitled prick throughout the meal. The tension kept building inside me until I struggled to sit still.I had a decent conversation with Alpha Nealson. He’s a nice guy, and I made a mental note to invite him to Blood Moon soon to discuss a closer alliance and additional support. I’ll need to speak to Dad, but I think supporting him would be a good idea.Digby, Nealson and I also discussed Northwatch. On the surface, it sounds like a reasonable and sensible company, offering the support and knowledge that they are. Nealson is really impressed with the service they’re providing, but the concept of a single company knowing the in-depth security workings of several packs makes both me and Digby uneasy.I need to discuss it more with Dad, and potentially the Council. The company will certainly need stringent monitoring to ensure t

Zach's POVI glance at my phone again. Midnight.Shit.I wanted to be the first to wish Zahra happy birthday.'We’re almost home,' Zion hums.He’s eager to get to her too.As terrible as it makes me, I realised the other day that I’ve never actually wished my sister happy birthday in person on her actual birthday. Growing up… well, it was never allowed, and I’m ashamed to admit it was never part of my thought process.Then, when everything went down four years ago, I realised how terrible I’d been. Not even I had celebrated or acknowledged her birthday with her, and even worse, I did it without realising it was happening.Zion presses gently against my mind, warm and steady.'We didn’t know better then.'Maybe not. But I should have.Then she was at the academy for the last three birthdays. I’ve not even been able to call her to wish her happy birthday, so this year, I was determined to be the first person to say it to her.But then we had to come to this meeting.The integrated respo

Zach's POVI watch as Alpha Lucas paces up and down the hall. His shoes squeak slightly every time he turns, his hair a dishevelled mess from how often he’s run his hands through it.The waiting area smells of antiseptic, stale coffee and too many frightened wolves. The lights overhead are too harsh for this hour, washing everyone pale, and every distant footstep or muffled voice from beyond the double doors makes my body tense.Luna Alison is sitting in silence on the chair opposite me, but her leg bounces nonstop.Mara squeezes my hand reassuringly, her calming love sending waves through the bond to help keep my panic at bay.Just.The doctors have run test after test, and they’re none the wiser as to what’s going on. The elite warriors and Greg have scoured the house and tested everything, but not only was there nothing in common between the three of them tonight, none of the tests are showing any results.As far as the doctors are concerned, there’s nothing wrong with any of them.

Tobias's POVI land on my back, hard, and wake.My eyes fly open, and I try to sit up, inhaling sharply like I’ve just been underwater.“Easy, easy, it’s okay. I’ve got you,” a deep voice says over and over, and I feel hands on my chest.I blink, and the world comes into focus.Aiden is leaning over me, his face lined with worry, his eyes dark. He looks exhausted.Jasper is beside him, hovering, looking just as horrified.“Zahra,” is the only thing I can think to say.“It’s okay. You’re okay,” Aiden says.Frustration builds in me.I know I’m fucking okay, but I want my mate.Now I’m awake, it’s like a flare has been lit in my chest, humming and burning for something, and I know only my mate will satisfy it.I need her.Something is different. Before, I wanted to see her, to celebrate her birthday and reconnect, but now I feel as if I don’t see her, I might die.I need to see her.The certainty that she’s my mate is back with a vengeance.'Mate!' Thor howls, and the proximity of the noi

Xander's POVI jolt awake, the sensation of falling so real that I gasp.What the fuck was that?Did that just happen?'Yes, it did,' Atlas rumbles in my mind.I startle.Fuck, that was loud. When was the last time he was right there like that?“Oh, thank the Goddess, you’re awake.”I turn, my eyes finding my mum where she’s sitting beside my bed. Her eyes are red and puffy, her face drawn.“Just a minute. Let me get a doctor.”Her eyes glaze over as she links someone.I look around.I’m in the hospital.Why?And then it all comes rushing back. The conference in Yellowstone, rushing back for Zahra’s birthday, and watching her collapse.“Where’s Zahra? Is she all right?”Atlas leaps to his feet.'Yes. Yes, find her. Find mate.'Wait, what?'Mate?''Yes. Mate,' he says with a yip.'Who’s our mate?'He tsks.'You already know. I told you.''When? Who?'I’m sitting up now, trying to get out of bed.'Mate. Zahra and Zanthe. Our mates. Go find them now.'What the fuck is he going on about?I
