Bound By Fate

"The gods do not create soulmates to make love easy. They create them to change the world."

"Some love stories begin with a choice. Ours began with destiny-but destiny was never enough."

Niklaus Mikaelson has spent a thousand years chasing one goal: breaking the curse that stole half of who he is. Love has never had a place in his plans-until an ancient witch sends him to the rain-soaked town of Forks, Washington.

There, under the name Mr. Niklaus Mikaelson, he takes a temporary job as a history and art teacher... and meets Isabella Swan.

From the moment their eyes meet, Klaus knows the impossible has happened.

Bella is his mate.

But she is also his student, completely human, and blissfully unaware that monsters walk among her. Refusing to force fate upon her, Klaus keeps the truth hidden, determined that if Bella ever loves him, it will be by her own choice-not because of an ancient bond.

Just as their friendship begins to grow, Klaus is called away to Mystic Falls. The Petrova doppelgänger has finally been found, and breaking his curse can no longer wait. He leaves Forks with only one promise...

He will come back.

Years later, fate brings them together again, but Bella is no longer the shy girl he left behind, and Klaus is no longer the man who believed power was all he needed. As old feelings resurface and dangerous secrets come to light, Bella discovers she is tied to a prophecy that could reshape the supernatural world.

Together, they may be destined to unite those divided by centuries of war.

Or become the reason they all fall.

A slow-burn Klaus Mikaelson × Bella Swan romance featuring fate, friendship, found family, ancient prophecies, and a love powerful enough to change the supernatural world forever.
