Marked By Fate; Fated To Be Yours Alpha
Princess Elena · Ongoing · 31.2k Words
Introduction
One reckless night of passion on her eighteenth birthday became a curse that would haunt her. When Arielle's mate bond manifested, it cruelly tied her to Alpha Damian—her crush's older brother, and the man who had disappeared without a trace after claiming her innocence.
Arielle is caught between two brothers, one who owns her soul but refuses to be her mate, and the other whose forbidden kiss she craves.
What happens when Arielle discovers the one that had refused to claim her as his mate had marked her to be bound to him forever!!
Arielle gets tangled in a dangerous game of lust, and both brothers' interest in her might run deeper than desire. And their dark secrets might destroy her before she learns the truth.
Chapter 1
Arielle's pov
Father, before he died, used to tell me stories, fairytales and folklore about the Moon Goddess and her role in our fate.
He would say, “Dear Arielle, fate is kind to those who wait, the Moon Goddess decides our fate.”
“What is our fate?” I had asked.
“To be bound to our mates — the one we would spend the rest of our lives with. The bond between mates is a sacred gift. It is unbreakable and undeniable. The Moon Goddess who decides those to be bound together never make mistakes.”
“She doesn't?”
“Never.”
Well, he lied.
The Moon Goddess is a liar and I learned that the night my whole world turned upside down.
The Moonlit Festival has always been my favourite night of every year.
Well, not because of the music thrumming through the ballroom. Not because of the glowing lanterns and exquisite decorations that float like stars against the dark patterned ceiling or the way the entire pack came alive under the full moon. No. I loved it because of him — Asher Blackwood.
Asher, the Alpha's son.
Asher, my best friend. The boy I had spent years loving in silence. The boy I spent my entire childhood loving, praying to the Moon Goddess every Moonlight festival that she chooses him for me.
Tonight, I would finally know my fate.
I smoothened my dress and took steadying breaths as I stepped onto the festival floor.
The scent of spiced cider and cooked meat filled the air. Laughter and soft classical music rang around me, but I barely noticed it. My heart was pounding so loud in my ears.
My eyes drifted around the room, scanning the crowd for Asher, wondering where he is.
My heart was beating with anticipation but also with worry because Asher and I always attended the festival together. We would meet at his mansion and he would sneak me into the festival, but today was different I had turned eighteen and it was time for me to finally meet my mate, but Asher didn't show up to our usual spot so I had to come here alone.
I heaved a sigh of exhilaration when my eyes landed on a familiar silhouette.
“Asher.” Those words left my lips before I could think.
I took a step forward and another but I froze midway.
Asher wasn't alone.
He was with a woman, her red dress had a fitted bodice that clung to her like a second skin, her golden-blonde hair fell in waves with an elaborate headpiece placed above it. A smooth laugh escaped her lips and I instantly knew who she was.
Vanessa.
She draped over Asher like she belonged there, tracing the embroidered patterns on the tunic I had made for him myself.
I clenched my fists at my sides, horrified and angry at the sight playing before my eyes.
“Asher!” I called out.
“Ari.” he said when our eyes met, flashing me that sexy smile that always made my chest tight.
Ari was just a nickname. A casual, friendly nickname he always called me but my traitorous heart always fluttered whenever I heard it.
Vanessa smirked, her piercing blue eyes hiding her cruelty.
“Oh, look who decided to show up. I was wondering when you'd crawl out of whatever hole you've been hiding in.”
My jaw tightened but I refused to take the bait. I had learnt long ago that fighting back would only make things worse.
Asher frowned at Vanessa. “Don't say that. Be nice to her.”
Vanessa pouted. “But this is me being nice.”
She was a damned liar. Vanessa wasn't nice and she had never been.
For years, she and her twin, Rowan, had sworn to make my life a living hell. And they did it with little things — spilling ink all over my school books, ripping my ball gowns and stealing my food. And that was not all. The worst were their words. Their whispers would dig into my skin like thorns, telling me repeatedly that I was nothing.
And mom?
My mother had done nothing to stop them. And whenever I fought back, she would always defend them by saying, “You only know how to talk with your fist, Arielle. Don't touch your brother and sister or you'll get it.”
My fists tightened at the thought of my mother. Julia Slyden, now Julia White, who was once the mate of my father, now she is the mate of the Pack's Beta. I had barely grieved my Late father before she married Beta Marcus, throwing herself into a new life as if our old one had never existed.
Mother, my birth mother, had looked at me with dismissive eyes everytime I tried to tell her about Vanessa and Rowan. Even Marcus, my so-called step-father, would dismiss me with his normal casual reply.
“Learn to endure it, Arielle,” he would laugh. “They're just kidding around. You know they're your family now.”
Family.
I used to love hearing that word. But now, it left a bitter taste in my mouth. Now, it made me sick.
“Are you excited to find your mate?” Asher asked, pulling me from my thoughts.
Our eyes met and he smiled again. The soft expression on his perfect face made my heart flutter again. He was watching me with his ocean-blue eyes. His luscious blonde hair trimmed perfectly and his smile gleaming against his chiseled jawline. He was perfect.
‘Are you excited to find your mate?’ I replayed his question in my head. Looking at him, I knew I was, and he was standing in front of me.
“More than anything.” I said with a soft smile.
He grinned at my response. “Maybe we'll get lucky.”
“Maybe…” I whispered. Maybe, we'll get lucky? Hope flickered in my chest as I stared at him. Asher wants me as much as I want him.
I nearly did a little dance. The butterflies won't stop rioting in my stomach.
“Don't get your hopes up,” Vanessa said, her cold voice cutting through the air. My happiness vanished instantly like it had never existed.
She continued, glancing at Asher with a smirk on her face.
“I wouldn't if I were you.”
I stiffened at her words. Don't get my hopes up? What did she mean?
I turned to Asher who still had her on his lap.
Realization kicked me in the face. How did I not notice that before?
Vanessa craned her hands around his neck and whispered something to him. And he laughed. They were flirting right in front of me.
What was going on?
Vanessa turned to look at me. “Oh. You're still here. Asher told you to go find your mate. What are you waiting for?”
He what?
My eyes flickered to Asher's but he refused to meet my gaze.
‘Maybe we'll get lucky.’ he wasn't talking about us but Vanessa. I recalled Vanessa’s words,
She wasn't warning me. She was telling me the truth and she was cruel about it. The worst of it all was Asher wasn't even denying it. He knows just how much I love him yet he doesn't want me as his mate but Vanessa.
My eyes began to water as tears threatened to fall, but I dared not cry in front of them, not in front of everyone. Without another word, I turned on my heels and walked away, ignoring Asher as he called my name.
I needed to get out of here.
I needed to be alone.
The festival was suddenly becoming too loud, too bright and too suffocating.
I shouldered through the crowd, heading towards the exit where the torches and candles didn't reach.
I didn't know how long I had wandered until I felt it.
A strange tug at my heart.
A distant pull.
I stopped dead in my tracks and my eyes trailed ahead. A figure stood, leaning against the oak tree. His face was half-shrouded in the shadows but I'd recognize him even in my sleep.
He was Damian Blackwood.
Asher's older brother.
The one they called “The Wolf Without A Soul.”

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface. When Dante is poisoned by a rival syndicate with a deadly toxin no doctor can cure, he offers a fortune for anyone who can save him.
Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Everybody is Guilty Here
Middlesbrough's underworld is a dangerous game, and Matthew Smith finds himself right in the middle of it. A once-feared gang leader, he is now forced to be a pawn in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Matthew's only shot at freedom is helping the police bring down Mr. K, the elusive mafia boss of the city. The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.
Masahiro Payne is everything Matthew hates: cold, calculating, and relentless. But their only hope for survival is by pretending to be a happy couple, blending in amidst dangerous crime, deceit, and power struggles. The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.
As their undercover mission spirals into a web of lies and hidden desires, they face a growing threat from all sides. But the greatest risk is the one they can't control-their own feelings. With every touch, every stolen kiss, the line between their fake relationship and real emotions blurs.
In a world of betrayal, trust is a luxury, and falling for each other may be the deadliest mistake of all. Can they survive the deadly mafia games or will their passion be their demise?
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.

Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

But our forbidden heat is intoxicating.
When his monstrous Primal breaks free, slaughtering everything in its path, even his fiercest warriors cower.
I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.
He sneaks into the woods for me. We share a deep, hungry kiss under the moonlight.
But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
Is a fresh, undeniable bite mark.
