Bound By Fate Broken By Love Novels & Stories

“And what do I get beyond saving my father’s life?” “Everything I promised. Plus a new start, if you want it.” Zara folded her arms. “Tell me something, Dami. Why do you hate the idea of love so much?” His jaw tightened. “Because love is leverage. People weaponize it. Use it to manipulate, to control. Business never lies. Feelings do.” His voice was cold and bitter, and it made her flinch. “Alright,” she said as she executed the contract. “But don’t forget that this is an arrangement and it doesn’t mean I will pretend to like you.”

“To show the marriage is legitimate it must be witnessed and undergoes three rites,” He picked his glass and took a sip. “The Public Claim. The wife must be declared in front of the families. Then there is the blindfold ritual and,” A pause. “The Binding Rite,” My heart dropped. “Binding Rite? What is that?” my voice wavered. He looked at me with intensity. “Consummation,” I scoffed. “Right,” “It’s serious Vivienne,” he casually stated, “You and I both have to do that or else my marriage will be questioned,” he rubbed his thumb over his clenched jaw, “I don’t like people questioning me,”

“You think it’s love, this bond. It isn’t. It’s law. It’s magic woven into the bones of their kind. When one wolf marks another, it isn’t romance, it’s claim. It’s ownership dressed in obsession.” I flinched at that. Images of Edward flashed in my mind, hands gripping Albert’s face, the mark on his neck, the way he had said mine like it was holy. “They call it fate,” Bibi said. “But real fate doesn’t shackle. Real fate gives choice. This bond strips it away. It doesn't allow anyone to choose and it's a death sentence if one tries to break it without reason.” “And Albert can’t resist it,” I said, voice low. “It’s killing him.”

The shadow staggered, blood dripping, but the shard held, its power growing. “You can’t break it,” it hissed. “It’s your bond.” Aria’s heart sank. A vision hit her the Goddess, binding the shard with her blood, tying it to Aria and Kael’s love. “Only love can break it,” she’d said. But the vision twisted: breaking the shard meant breaking their bond and their lives. “Kael,” she gasped, tears falling. “It’s us. Our bond.” His eyes burned with defiance. “No. We fight.”

“This bond was not woven on my loom. It was carved into existence before the first star burned. Before any of us had names. I cannot sever it. None of us can.” “You’re telling us we’re powerless?” the crow-feathered god asks, each syllable a blade. “I’m telling you,” I answer, “That if you try to cut what fate has bound, you’ll only drive them closer — and bring the ruin you’re trying to outrun.” The stormfire god’s heat spikes, searing the shadows. “Then what? Do we just wait? Watch? Pray?” “You can pray if it comforts you,” I tell them,

Lyra asked, her eyes studying me in a predatory way. “Then he risks killing himself.” Mary spoke. My head snapped to her. “The first two weeks of the bond are especially crucial. That’s when our wolves’ souls were most intertwined.” Mary explained giving me a sympathetic look. “She’s a young wolf, breaking the bond by rejecting her will definitely kill her. You might survive, my Alpha but you might not. There’s also a chance that breaking the bond now could leave you crippled. Mentally, at least.” I looked at Alpha Thane wondering if he detested me that much that he was willing to risk it. I could see the consideration in his eyes.

The love I'd tried to hide, the hope I'd been afraid to acknowledge, the deep, unshakeable belief that we could make this work. The bond settled into something new, not the tentative connection we'd had before, but a solid, unbreakable link. His heartbeat became mine. His emotions colored my own. And through it all, I felt completely, perfectly myself. The bond didn't diminish me or override my identity. It enhanced everything I was while connecting me to everything he was. When we finally broke apart, both gasping, the gathered witnesses erupted in cheers. Damien was grinning, Sarah was sobbing happily, and Marcus looked satisfied, like he'd known all along this was how it would end.

"Whatever it is, whatever it requires—tell me." His eyes held mine with uncomfortable intensity, as if he was seeing something I didn't understand about my own nature, my own possibilities. "The curse that bound him," he said slowly, "it can be broken. But only by love freely given, without coercion or debt or desperate circumstances forcing the choice." Love freely given. The phrase echoed in my mind like prophecy finally reaching fulfillment. Love freely given. But I'd already told him I loved him, had whispered the words while his consciousness was slipping away like water through desperate fingers. That hadn't been enough to counter silver poisoning or break whatever supernatural bonds h

he said. "So are you saying that Nicholas is destined to love that human no matter what happens?" Luka asked. "Something like that, but there is a loophole, death can either make or break this fate," he said. "What do you mean?" Luka asked. "Well according to the story, if one of the lovers were to somehow tragically lose their life, the fate would be broken and passed on to some other generation and our dear Nicholas need not suffer himself with such an ill fated love with a lesser being anymore. However for the prophecy to be truly fulfilled, someone aware of the prophecy has to die. Either way, blood must be spilled."

“Ah! That would be true but in the case of fated demon mates, love exists. That’s one of the most beautiful things about the fated mate bond. Even the supernatural beings without souls may love.” I raise my eyebrows in surprise and stare up at the moon again. “Is there a way to break a fated mate bond?” I hated to ask because the fated mate bond was so special, but I had to keep my options open. Liam chuckles. “Not that any sane person would want to, but death is the only way to break the fated mate bond.” I bit the inside of my cheek. I may be sane but I’m also desperate. Only problem was that if I did die, I would end up in Hell anyways with my current standing on the ever growing list of
