Noble Fates Novels & Stories

"I am part of this now. We all are." Ava stopped, her gaze fixed on Misha. "She's right, you know." She crossed her arms, her expression uncharacteristically serious. "The Fates. It's not just a fancy title for our shared trauma bonding. If you're gone, the thread unravels. I'm the anchor, but an anchor needs something to hold to. Without both of you, without the balance you create, I'm just a lonely goth girl with too much power and no one to direct it at." "And the children?" I rasped, the effort of speaking growing monumental. "They are the true Fates, our replacements. Our duty is to protect them until they can assume their roles."

"Enough playing. Who is Arabella?" Matilda hums thoughtfully, then turns to a stack of ancient books in the corner and pulls one from the pile. She places it on the book stand in the middle of the altar, and the pages flip open on their own. "There was a prophecy," she begins, "several years ago, about the alpha's son - Adam - and his destined mate. The daughter of Alexander, the overthrown alpha of the skyline pack, and Freya, the most powerful witch in all the seven packs."

My mind kept drifting back to the scroll hidden in the basement, to the runes I had drawn on the floor. I had found the scroll hidden among my grandmother's things after she died. It was ancient, written in a language that had taken me weeks to decipher. It spoke of the Fates—Abraxas, the Fate of Life; Kaius, the Fate of Death; and Ryuu, the Fate of Destiny. The Fates ruled the universe, deciding the course of every life, every death, every destiny. The scroll claimed that one could summon a Fate and ask for a boon. But it came with a warning: to call on a Fate was to risk death. I didn't care about the risk. If I didn't do something, I would be exposed as a Shade during my first shift, and

Thoth: Vince wouldn’t settle for just a random wolf, but with his position, and how Brandon just insulted you, he would be low on options. I nodded. Thoth was right. Low options. Alpha, beta, or gamma female, that would also be out of options. I had an idea, but it was almost too ridiculous. There was no way I was right, but it would be amazing if I was. Nixthegoddess: What about Nina, or Nadine? Thoth: Possible. Their family is barely hanging on to any kind of standing. But both are alphas.

It was depressing but also sort of romantic in a morbid kind of way. I glanced back at the man sitting at the table across from me. I can't imagine being linked with him forever. I really hope fate knows what it's doing, giving me this man as my soul mate. “Yes, I will be friends with your twin sister. It is fated.” He scowls at me. “You aren't even a Shifter, why would fate want you to be friends with my sister?” Now it’s my turn to scowl back at him. “What does that have to do with anything? Everyone has a fate Mr Kane, regardless of the circumstances of their birth. When I look at someone, I see the threads of their fate, not their species.”

A woman she considered her worst nightmare. Whatever happened between those two wasn't my problem, however what was more of my concern was what happened to the letters and if Riley should marry, somewhere in my heart I had a feeling that she still had unfinished business with Zander. I don't think that they should jump into someone else until they find their long lost daughter. “At first I thought it was a rumor but it was true. Nobert was indeed getting married to her, but that would not stop her from working in the alpha's house; she was going to be there all through her life. She's deserving and forgive her for what her family has done”

I earned the scholarship to study with the highborns and elites. My fingers involuntarily moved to my lips. If they weren’t bruised and swollen, I never would have believed any of this was real. It still seemed like a dream. Noah, Cole and Hayes were well known for their flirtatious ways even with a mate. Was this what it was? Just another conquest added to their endless list? I bumped into a girl and all her books crashed on the floor.

Third through eighth were claimed by Kael Morn, Andor Vesk, Taren Wolfson, Lysander Cobb, and Rothen Vale, their names stacked in descending order beneath Rowan’s. I stared at the board longer than I should have, the weight of every name pressing down on me. These weren’t scores of strength. They were judgments. And these scores was going to make this more deadly than it already was. “The forest is not empty,” Kaelen continued. “Predators roam freely. Some are natural. Some are not. There are limited supplies around the forest if you survive long enough to find it.” “With that,” Kaelen concluded, “the trial begins.”

The alphas who supported him are about to lose their mates for nothing. What's the point of fighting? My mum was right, it doesn't matter how far I run, they will find me anyway. "My friend Marcel, I present to you the five Luna souls you need to bring back our princes," Zane's father points at the second circle, and everyone tightly holds on to their mates. Casper is here too and his mate. I pray they don't touch her, goddess!. The scent of tears is full in the air. Whimpers. A gloomy cloud of loss surrounds us and I have no idea why this man keeps sacrificing his people to the witches.

My heart races as we draw closer to the castle with each passing kilometer. “Imagine the hefty sum we’re going to make tonight, Aria. I can already feel the money dropping into my account. And who knows, maybe I’ll meet my future mate here tonight,” Nicole comments, her voice laden with anticipation. I flash her a smile and shake my head in disbelief. Nobles and commoners don’t mix, especially not humans with lycans or enchatresses. To them, we are incomplete, the scum, merely the workforce keeping this country running.
