Naiya couldn't do this anymore. Last night was her breaking point. If she had to stay here another night, she would probably slit her wrists just so she wouldn't have to endure them any longer.

**Bound by Fate** - A Paranormal Black Love Fantasy Alaïa Aliana Daniels was supposed to die. Left broken and discarded by the family that stole everything from her, she clawed her way back from the brink-stronger, smarter, and ready for vengeance. Her stepmother, Davina, and wicked stepsister, Denver, forced her into a fate worse than death: bearing children from her fated mate unbeknownst to him. But what they didn't know? Those children weren't just hers-they were the heirs to one of the wealthiest werewolf bloodlines. Sadiq Judson believed his fiance, Denver, gave birth to his beloved triplets, but something about her never felt right. When a mysterious woman returns, shaking his world with undeniable truths and an intoxicating pull, he begins to question everything. The bond he shares with Alaïa is primal, unbreakable, and dangerously forbidden. But claiming her means uncovering the sinister web of lies that have controlled his family-and putting a target on the woman who was never meant to survive. As Alaïa reclaims her power, she unearths secrets darker than she imagined: medical sabotage against her and her youngest daughter, witches and fairies working in the shadows, and a prophecy that marks her as the key to a war she never wanted. With the truth unraveling and enemies closing in, she must decide-will she fight for the mate and children stolen from her? Or will fate consume them all before she gets the chance? **One woman. One mate bond. One destiny.** Alaïa was bound by fate... but she will break every chain to reclaim what's hers.
