Marked by fate
Book Two of the Fatebound Trilogy
Born of prophecy. Forged in pain. Chosen by the Moon Goddess—whether she wants it or not.
After surviving her father’s brutality and discovering the truth of the white wolf within her, Zahra Larkin thought the worst was behind her. But evil doesn’t die—it waits.
Beyond the borders of the supernatural kingdoms, a dark god stirs. Monvar, Lord of Shadows, feeds on fear and faithlessness, twisting hearts and turning packs against one another. As belief in the Moon Goddess fades, his power grows, and Zahra’s very existence becomes both a beacon of hope and a target for destruction.
When Zahra is taken by Monvar’s followers, her world shatters again. Tortured, broken, and isolated, she must find a way to survive long enough to escape—and to face what she’s becoming. Because the blood of Selene runs in her veins, and if she falls, the Goddess’s light could die with her.
Haunted by trauma and hunted by darkness, Zahra must learn to trust the four fated mates bound to her soul. Together they hold the key to awakening her Lycan power—and saving the supernatural world from annihilation.
But love and destiny demand sacrifice.
And the girl who was once marked by fate must now decide whether to embrace her divine power… or let the shadows win.

Chapter: Chapter 460Zahra's POVHe opens his door as the others open theirs, then hurries around the truck to open mine.Xander and Tobias move to the truck bed to get the bags as Lincoln leads me towards the front steps of the cabin. Every wolf in the vicinity has stopped what they're doing and is watching us.An elderly man kneeling in the dirt by the steps stands, brushing his hands on his trousers."Alpha!" he says with a bow."George, how are you?" Lincoln asks, shaking the man's hand."Well, thank you, Alpha. We've missed you. It's good to have you home."His eyes flick to me with open curiosity before returning to Lincoln."It's good to be home. George, can you ask Janice to prepare a good dinner tonight? I have an announcement to make to the pack."Lincoln beams at me before George smiles too."Of course, sir." He bows again, then hurries off around the house."George is in charge of the house and grounds, and his mate, Janice, is in charge of the kitchen and household staff.""He seems nice?" I a

Chapter: Chapter 459Zahra's POVWe drive up through the mountains, the road winding through the trees and under large rocky outcrops. For some reason, I wasn't expecting Shadow to be this high. My ears keep popping as we drive; the altitude is surprising. I find myself focusing on the climb, on the endless bends in the road, anything to stop thinking about what waits for us at the end of it. We're not far from Night howlers and the Royal Pack, but they aren't at anywhere near this kind of elevation.I'm so nervous, the butterflies in my stomach are having a field day. Every time my mind drifts to what's about to happen when we arrive, I feel sick.I'm in the front seat next to Lincoln, who's driving Xander's truck. Xander and Tobias are behind us. Tobias's hand has been on my shoulder the whole journey, and from time to time, when he feels my anxiety ratcheting up, he massages it gently. Xander's hand finds my arm where it rests on the centre armrest, and Lincoln's hand finds my knee.We talked and talked

Chapter: Chapter 458Max's POVI continue; "Anyway, last summer I started dating Zahra. We spent a few weeks together at Royal Pack, while I was at camp and she was training with the task force. It was the best summer of my life. I fell in love."I can't keep the smile off my face as a tear slips out."But then in the autumn, she was kidnapped by those rogues who were taking girls."I look up and see them both giving concerned nods, and I manage to swallow the sob down."She was missing, tortured and abused for months. Nearly six months."My voice breaks."She escaped and came home to Bloodmoon.""Is she alright?" my grandfather asks gently.I nod."She'll get there. It's been tough on her. So much has happened, and now..."I trail off and inhale deeply."On her birthday, we discovered we were mates."I decide to leave out the whole knowing she was my mate for a year and the poisoning debacle. It's just too much drama."But she also recognised Xander as her mate."They inhale sharply."At first, I was oka

Chapter: Chapter 457Max's POVMy uncle holds the door open for me as I enter the office, my grandfather behind me. I had hoped to do this without him, but I guess that's not going to happen."Take a seat, Max," my uncle says, indicating a sofa against the wall facing two armchairs.They both claim the chairs, and I internally groan. Looks like this will be an interrogation then. This move is one of Lucas's favourites for an initial soft interrogation before the dungeons are called for.Great."Start from the beginning. What's going on?" my uncle says, and I frown, playing innocent."What do you mean?"He scoffs."We've not seen you in years. Your family made it pretty clear we weren't welcome in your life, and now you turn up here out of the blue, an Alpha and with a strange scent."I sigh, resting my face in my hands."I had no idea my parents told you that you weren't welcome in my life. I was told you didn't want to be in my life, that you didn't agree with Mum's choice to mate a Beta.""What?" Granda

Chapter: Chapter 456Max's POV"My turn," my uncle says as we reset.I throw a punch towards him, and like me, he deflects it exactly as we'd been shown before slipping to my outside in one smooth movement.We separate."Can I show you a variation we use?" I ask.He raises an eyebrow but nods.I settle back into my stance, and he comes at me again.Years of drilling the movement take over before I even have to think. This time, I use the edge of my hand to deflect the strike. It's a sharper blow against his forearm and creates just enough separation for me to wrap my hand around his wrist as I slide his arm across my chest and step to the outside. By the time I'm behind him, I have one hand controlling his shoulder and the other pinning his wrist behind his back.One small shift in leverage is all it takes to force him to his knees.He doesn't even have a chance to resist."Ooh, I like that," Gamma Jon says as my uncle stills beneath my grip."Fuck... it's a tiny adjustment, but it makes all the differenc

Chapter: Chapter 455Max's POVThe dining room is alive with chatter and movement as people settle onto benches carrying plates of food, line up at the serving hatches along one wall, and flit across the room greeting one another.Rows of long tables and benches fill the room, all facing a raised dais at the far end, where a large table is set out. I assume it's for the pack leadership and their families.No one seems to notice me as I enter the room, the hustle and bustle of the early morning proving distraction enough. But as I reach the middle of the room, heads begin to turn.A hush ripples outwards as the people closest to me notice the unfamiliar face. Conversations falter, and whispers follow in my wake.I hold my head high and ignore them.My grandmother smiles as I approach the table."Good morning, Max darling."She stands and presses her cheek to mine.I almost flinch back in surprise, but instead warmth settles in my chest. I can't remember the last time someone greeted me with any kind of aff

Scarred by fate
Book One in the Fate Bound Trilogy
Born under a prophecy and raised in a nightmare, Zahra has spent her life starved, isolated, and hated as the unwanted daughter of a pack Beta.
When her father finally snaps and attacks her, her body breaks, but something buried deep inside her finally awakens.
Her wolf.
Pushed to the edge of death, Zahra’s first shift is violent, conscious, and fuelled by pure survival. And when white fur surfaces, the truth becomes impossible to hide.
She is no ordinary wolf.
Chosen by the Moon Goddess and tied to a forgotten prophecy, Zahra is suddenly thrust into a future she never asked for, one filled with power, danger, and people who see her as something far more than she’s ready to be.
For the first time in her life, she’s surrounded by friendship, loyalty, and the kind of male attention she has no idea how to trust.
As feelings begin to form and bonds start to take shape, Zahra quickly realises nothing about these connections is simple. What draws her to them may be drawing them to each other as well.
But Zahra has never belonged to anyone.
Bruised, furious, and desperate for freedom, she refuses to become a pawn of fate, no matter how tightly it tries to claim her.
Because destiny isn’t given.
It’s taken in blood and battle.
Zahra’s story is for anyone who’s ever been overlooked and dared to rise anyway.

Chapter: Epilogue Continued.Max's POVThe next morning, after another sleepless night, I follow my dad into the main meeting room. The air smells like coffee and grief. King James sits at the head of the table. Beta Nicholas to his right. Tobias and Aiden beside him. Lucas, Xander, and Zach opposite. A councilman I do not recognise flips through a leather folder. A house maid sets coffee pots and plates of biscuits in the centre and retreats from the room.everyone nods in acknowledgment of our arrival, but No one speaks. I pour myself a cup of coffee and settle into my chair to wait.Andrew arrives a few minutes later. He looks hollowed out. it's clear, he's not slept, over the last four days He looks like he's lost weight and He moves like his bones ache. I have heard the stories. When a wolf loses a mate, sometimes the wolf dies of grief. Sometimes the human goes with them. Sometimes what remains is a shell. It is too early to know which road Andrew is on, but dad said Aether is silent. If the silence holds fo

Chapter: Epilogue ContinuedMax's POVTobias pats my shoulder. "Come on, man. Let’s head outside. The others will be here soon."I tip back the rest of the beer, feel it hit an empty stomach, and stand. In the bedroom I shrug into my suit jacket. It is tight across the chest but it holds. Tobias clocks it and smirks. I huff a laugh. First one in days. It feels strange in my throat.Outside, people stream from the packhouse to the woods along a lantern‑lit path. I keep my head down and my hands in my pockets. The clearing is already thick with smell of smoke from the last two days. Four pyres stand in the centre: Seb. Luna Anne. Zoe. Rebecca. The pack forms a ring at the edge of the trees, lining up back into the cover of the trees as the numbers swell, bodies pressed close.Tobias and I move to the front where a small platform has been raised. Andrew is there. Dad has an arm around his back, holding him upright. Lucas takes the other side as we reach them. I tense when I see Lucas because I know who will be right

Chapter: Epilogue Continued.Max's POVThe packhouse feels hollow. Black ribbons hang from banisters. Voices stay low, as if volume might break something that is already cracked. We lost nearly two hundred. Everyone here can name at least one of them.I take a coffee and a muffin from the dining hall because that is what a functioning person does. The coffee tastes burnt. The muffin turns to paste after two bites. I toss the rest and climb to my father’s old office. It is mine now, apparently. The title sits in the room like an unwelcome guest.I work because work is something I can control. Eli’s rotation notes. Ralph’s border reports. I sign where I have to and flag what I cannot decide yet. My phone buzzes beside my elbow.Tobias: I will not ask how you are. I am sure the answer is o

Chapter: Epilogue Max's POVI stare at the ceiling while daylight crawls across it, thin and grey. Another night with no sleep. My head is a hive and I am the only thing it stings.I have not slept since my best friend was murdered in front of me. Since I was not where I should have been. My Alpha. I let him down. I was busy watching Xander's back, worrying about his cousin, instead of standing where Sebastian needed me. Now our pack has no future, and that sits in my chest like broken glass.My stomach rolls again. I swallow against bile and breathe through it until the nausea backs off. The last three days I have thrown up more than I have in ten years. Every time I replay the fight, or my thoughts drift to Xander, every time I reach the same point where I chose the wrong alpha to flank, my gut empties. Coward’s body. I grit my teeth until my jaw aches.Yesterday’s meeting will not stop playing in my mind. Alpha Lucas at the head of the table, face drawn, voice steady like a blade laid flat.“Max. Hu

Chapter: Chapter 317Xander's POVMy vision blurs. The air splits with two howls, a long, broken, mournful note. One after the other, blending together, a harmony of misery.Seb, and Uncle Drew.The sound chills me to the marrow. Its the kind of agony that isn’t just heard, it’s felt. Every wolf freezes for half a heartbeat. Max staggers beside me as the bond to his Luna snaps. Around us, every Silver Dawn warrior falters, some nearly dropping where they stand. The heart of their pack has just been snuffed out.I scan the battlefield, frantic. Then I see him. Sphinx!He stumbles upright, then launches forward. He’s not fighting anymore. He’s destroying. A whirlwind of teeth and fury, blood caking his muzzle, eyes blazing feral. He’s gone berserk, tearing through rogues with a savagery I’ve never seen from him before. His unit try to cover him, but he breaks through their line, chasing the rogues too far, too fast.Medus surges away from me, toward his Alpha, desperate to protect him. To be beside him in h

Chapter: Chapter 316Xander's POVZach’s voice is tight, even through the link.‘I’m on my way, I’m in the pack house!’ I yell back through the link.Max and I barely make it through the back doors before we shift, Medus and Atlas hitting the ground in sync. The scene before us makes my blood run cold.Carnage. Pure fucking carnage.Wolves are everywhere. Rogues flood the garden, tearing through decorations and tables as if they were nothing. They’re not the ragged, half-starved rogues I’ve seen before. They’re lean, powerful, and moving like a trained unit. The stench gives them away — foul, rotting, wrong.Medus and Atlas surge forward side by side, our training taking over. The garden is a ruin, blood splattered across the grass, screams mixing with snarls and the sickening sound of flesh tearing. Wolves crash into each other in a blur of fur and teeth.Silver Dawn’s warriors are arriving now, charging straight into the fray, but the rogues keep pouring from the treeline like a tide of shadows.The sme
