Gianna.

Ivan exhaled softly before pressing one quick kiss against my forehead.

“Stay here,” he murmured.

“Absolutely not.”

A faint breath of amusement escaped him despite everything.

Then he turned and walked toward the door.

Marcus's eyes landed on Ivan's neck.

Silence.

Heavy silence.

I watched Marcus’s expression change in real time.

Confusion.

Realization.

Then disbelief.

“What have you done?”

My chest tightened instantly.

Ivan barely reacted.

“You make it sound criminal.”

Marcus looked gen

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   When the moon calls

    Gianna.The room remained quiet.Marcus leaned forward first, resting his forearms against his knees."What exactly happens during the ritual?"The Seer's expression grew serious."The curse binding Gianna and Ivan cannot be removed while they remain connected to this world."My stomach tightened immediately."What does that mean?" Mum asked."It means both of them must cross over."Silence.The kind that makes your ears ring.I frowned."Cross over where?"The Seer's eyes settled on me."Between life and death."Nobody moved.Nobody even breathed.Beside me, Ivan's hand tightened around mine."What?" I whispered."I already mentioned it before. The ritual requires both of you to enter a temporary death."The room exploded."Absolutely not."Mum was already shaking her head."No."Marcus stood so quickly his chair nearly tipped over."Find another way.""There isn't one," the Seer replied quietly.The room fell silent again.Painful.Heavy.Unbelieving.The Seer continued."The curse

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   The transition ceremony.

    Gianna.By the time the declaration ceremony began, I was ninety percent sure I was going to throw up.Not because I was sick.Because there were so many people.Wolves filled almost every corner of the gathering grounds. Families. Elders. Warriors. Pack members I had never seen before.And somehow every single one of them felt important.The evening air carried the scent of pine and earth while lanterns illuminated the pathways leading toward the ceremonial platform.Everything felt bigger at night.More official.More terrifying.The crowd slowly settled as the final elder stepped onto the platform.The murmurs faded.Conversations died.An almost sacred silence spread through the gathering grounds.I swallowed hard.The atmosphere felt different now.Heavier.Like everyone understood they were about to witness something important.Something that would be remembered long after tonight.Marcus stepped forward first.Immediately, every wolf in the crowd rose to their feet.The movemen

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   His luna

    Gianna.Nobody spoke.Not immediately.The words seemed to hang in the air long after Ivan said them.The Alpha transition will begin today.I could feel it.The shift.The exact moment everyone in the room realized this wasn't some heated disagreement anymore.This wasn't a discussion.It wasn't a debate.Ivan had made a decision.And now the entire council had to decide what to do with it.The silence lasted maybe three seconds.Then the room exploded."This is reckless.""You cannot make a decision of this magnitude emotionally.""The curse alone should delay the transition.""What happens if she turns rogue?""Enough."The single word cracked through the hall.Every voice died instantly.Ivan hadn't even raised his voice.He didn't need to.The authority behind it seemed to wrap itself around the room and squeeze.Silence followed immediately."You've said I've been avoiding responsibilities," Ivan said evenly. "You've said I've been creating delays. Well, here I am."His eyes swe

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   My mate.

    Gianna.The moment we stepped into the community grounds, I understood exactly why Marcus didn’t want me here.Eyes.Everywhere.Not obvious staring exactly. Wolves were too controlled for that. Too disciplined.But I felt it anyway.The curiosity.The whispers moving quietly beneath conversations.The subtle turns of heads whenever Ivan walked past.Whenever we walked past.The air itself felt different here.Cleaner.Sharper.Everything smelled like pinewood, rain, and wolf.My wolf stirred faintly beneath my skin almost immediately.Alert.Restless.Beside me, Ivan’s hand brushed lightly against my lower back as we walked through the main hall.“Wait.”Mum's voice stopped all of us.We turned.Her expression was calm, but I knew her well enough to see the tension hiding underneath it.“We're not here to challenge the elders,” she said carefully. “If there's even the slightest chance we can avoid a confrontation, we should take it.”That sounded much better than "blowout."Less expl

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   No more hiding

    Gianna.The words settled heavily in the room.Gianna can’t come.For a second, nobody spoke.I just stared at Marcus quietly while something cold twisted slowly inside my chest. Not exactly a shock. I think part of me already expected it. Expected the protection. The hiding. The carefulness.Still hurt though.Because no matter how logical it sounded, it still felt like being left behind.Beside me, Ivan went completely still.“No,” he said flatly.Marcus exhaled slowly like he already knew that response was coming. “Ivan.”“She’s coming.”“It’s too risky.”My jaw tightened faintly.There it was again.Risky.Dangerous.Unstable.Every conversation lately somehow circled back to what I was becoming.Mum shifted awkwardly near the counter before speaking carefully. “Baby, maybe Marcus is right. Just this once.”Just this once.I looked down briefly at my hands.The room suddenly felt too warm.Too small.And the worst part?A tiny selfish part of me wanted Ivan to keep fighting. Wante

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   The elders are talking

    Gianna.I woke up slowly. Like my body was surfacing through layers of warmth and exhaustion at the same time.For a second, I didn’t even open my eyes.I just stayed there quietly, half asleep beneath the blankets while the soft morning light pressed gently against my skin through the curtains.Warm.Safe.My breathing slowed slightly as I felt the steady weight behind me.Ivan.His arm rested securely around my waist, pulling me lightly against his chest while his breathing brushed softly against the back of my neck.God.My chest tightened immediately.Because despite everything happening lately… Despite the curse. The fear. The spiraling. This still felt real.Him.Us.Carefully, I shifted slightly in his arms just enough to turn toward him.Ivan barely moved.Still asleep.His dark hair fell messily across his forehead, his face softer now without the usual sharpness he carried while awake.And then my eyes dropped lower.Toward his neck.Toward the mark.My mark.The sight of it

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   Feisty little Gianna

    Gianna.The kitchen was quiet when I walked in, just the hum of the refrigerator and the soft creak of the wooden floor under my feet. I reached for a glass and filled it with water, watching the ripples settle as I drank.That was when I felt it.That strange, almost electric awareness crawling up

    Gianna.I had finally landed back in New Orleans — just that I wasn’t going back to the same home anymore.Can I even call it that now?The moment I stepped into arrivals, I spotted my mum waving a huge cardboard sign that said “Welcome Home, Gia Honey!!!” in bright glittery letters. I rolled my ey

    Gianna. His lips… God, his lips were fire.The moment Ivan’s mouth claimed mine again, everything inside me snapped. There was no ceiling, no walls, no logic — just heat and want and a maddening hunger that clawed up my chest like it wanted to devour me from the inside out.His hand slid around my

  • FATEBOUND: Mated to my step-brother   It's just the heat period right?

    Gianna. My whole body ached.Not the normal kind of ache. The kind that came from heat — from memories I couldn’t shake. The kind that still burned even after the fire was gone.I turned on my side and groaned. The sheets still smelled like him. My skin still buzzed, and no matter how many times I
