Marked by Fate

Fate marked them. War scarred them. Love might be their undoing.Baylee has always known she was different—haunted by a scream that can shatter souls, burdened with powers she never wanted, and bound to a destiny that never felt like hers. Raised by wolves who gave her love but never answers, she's spent her life on the run—from the ghosts of a violent past, and from the truth clawing its way to the surface.But fate never forgets what it claims.She and Caden were forged in fire and blood—child soldiers trapped in a war that stole their innocence and tethered their souls. In the wreckage, they found each other. Love bloomed where it never should have, fierce and forbidden. A bond rooted in pain long before the mate pull ever took hold.Now older. Stronger. More dangerous. Baylee and Caden are no longer just survivors—they're weapons. And when the bond between them finally snaps into place, it doesn't bring peace. It brings chaos. Fire. Hunger. Madness. And a truth too devastating to bear.Because love was never meant to save them.It was meant to break them.And when fate comes to collect its due, Baylee must choose: mercy… or vengeance?
