Rule of the world

Mother Fate & her laws

  • 6.1 Mother Fate (also “Fate,” “Goddess Fate,” “the Goddess”) is the operative deity of the supernatural world, worshipped, prayed to, sworn by and cursed by every species. Taming Kane Ch 1; Guarding Kendra Ch 19; Snatching Jackie; Freeing Nala; Craving Carla; Claiming Aya
  • 6.2 Fate assigns every supernatural exactly one fated mate, the pairing set before either party is born. Taming Kane Ch 1; Guarding Kendra Ch 3; Choosing Aaron; Crowning Anora; Claiming Aya
  • 6.3 Fate’s paramount law: “You can’t take a mate from a mate. Fate won’t allow it.” Taming Kane Ch 1, Ch 29; Redeeming Nia Ch 7, Ch 8; Claiming Gabriel Ch 21, Ch 36; Saving Jacob Ch 5; Choosing Aaron Ch 27; Loving Amir Ch 8, Ch 35; Loving Amari Ch 20; Chasing Nicole Ch 28; Stalking Lauren Ch 7; Surviving Josiah; Finding Claude Ch 7
  • 6.4 The penalty for taking a mate from a mate is “far worse than death,” and the aftermath is “catastrophic.” Taking Amaya Ch 3; Loving Amir Ch 8
  • 6.5 Killing one’s own fated mate is punishable by death. Taming Kane Ch 10
  • 6.6a Fate created the Bailey family as the first coven on earth — “a mother, three daughters, one son” — to oversee humans and other covens and keep balance on earth. Forgiving Levi; Saving Jacob Ch 4; Loving Amir Ch 27
  • 6.6b Fate is herself the first Blackwood witch, sitting at the top of the Blackwood family tree as “the source of all supernatural bloodlines.” Crowning Anora — CONFLICT, see §10
  • 6.7 Fate is the literal mother of Amir, Aya, Asma and Alina. Saving Jacob Ch 1; Loving Amir Prologue
  • 6.8 “Mother Fate never creates just one of anything. There are always two or more.” — the Baileys were the first coven, the Blackwoods the second. Saving Jacob Ch 4; Loving Amir Ch 41
  • 6.9 Fate created the Blackwood bloodline “to replace us if we ever failed in our mission—to keep balance on Earth.” Saving Jacob Ch 32; Loving Amir Ch 41
  • 6.10 Fate can conjure a supernatural into existence with no bloodline at all — she conjured Anora (from three Blackwood witches’ sacrificed power) and Carla. Crowning Anora; Healing Hazel Ch 31
  • 6.11 After Amir’s shifter-creation caused overpopulation, Fate and “the human god” cleansed the earth in the Great Flood, and Fate then “cast a spell to limit all supernaturals to one fated mate, just to restore order.” Saving Jacob Ch 36; Crowning Anora Ch 10; Loving Amir Ch 27
  • 6.12 Fate’s stated purpose for the mate bond: “The mate bond was not born from necessity, but from observation… The mate bond was my gift to ease that burden.” Loving Amari Ch 19
  • 6.13 Free will is absolute and Fate will not override it: “Because it has to be a choice. Free will is my greatest gift and my heaviest curse. I cannot force you. I can only offer.” Loving Amari Ch 19
  • 6.14 Fate will not sever an existing bond, only stretch it: “The bond will remain, stretched thin but unbroken… It will be agony, but it will not be death.” Loving Amari Ch 19
  • 6.15 THE LAW OF GIVEN MAGIC — “What you give out, you cannot take back. It must be given back willingly,” binding on Fate, Baileys and Blackwoods alike. Loving Amari Ch 8, Ch 13, Ch 19; Chasing Nicole Ch 29, Ch 49; Crowning Aaron Ch 24, Ch 49; Surviving Josiah; Resisting Damon Ch 23, Ch 26; Loving Amir Ch 8, Ch 29, Ch 34
  • 6.16 The only stated exception to 6.15: an ascended being gets exactly one siphon, once. Loving Amari Ch 19
  • 6.17 “By Fate’s law, supernaturals don’t harm women. Women are the vessels of life… However, Bailey witches are the exception to the rule.” Claiming Gabriel Ch 14

  • 6.19 Fate limits bear-shifter births. Redeeming Nia Ch 34
  • 6.20 Refusing one’s rightful role breaks the laws of Mother Fate and carries “consequences.” Redeeming Nia
  • 6.21 Fate can grant and revoke supernatural power directly and instantaneously by lightning strike — she gave Hazel curse-breaking power and reclaimed it mid-battle. Healing Hazel Ch 13
  • 6.22 ASCENSION: Fate can elevate a witch to near-divine power, “rare and only given to the most noble of witches”; done for Hazel and later Carla. Loving Amari Ch 9, Ch 19
  • 6.23 A goddess is herself bound by Fate’s laws: “A goddess cannot interfere in the human realm.” Crowning Aaron
  • 6.24 Spell duration and lifespan are Fate’s call, not the caster’s: “All spells run their course… That’s up to Mother Fate”; “those who choose to defy the law of our goddess will suffer.” Crowning Aaron Ch 10, Ch 12
  • 6.25 “The laws of Mother Fate” outrank alpha law wherever mate bonds are concerned. Crowning Aaron
  • 6.26 Fate actively manipulates events and is “changing some rules for this generation” — younger scenting, cross-species pairings. Crowning Anora; Choosing Aaron Ch 2; Freeing Nala Ch 8
  • 6.27 Fate resurrected Amir after Aya murdered him and “merged me with the souls of many beasts to keep me from becoming a blood-thirsty monster.” Surviving Josiah; Loving Amir Ch 27
  • 6.28 Reanimating the dead violates Fate’s law; vampire infertility is likewise stated as Fate’s law. Surviving Josiah
  • 6.29 Fate can strip a stewardship for unworthiness, as she stripped Aya’s tie to the spell book. Loving Amir Ch 47
  • 6.30 Wintermoon itself “was given to us by Mother Fate. A promised land”; supernaturals answer to Fate’s law rather than any human god. Chasing Nicole
  • 6.31 Not everyone is fated; the unfated have “a purpose… it just isn’t on Wintermoon.” Stalking Lauren Ch 9, Ch 10, Ch 25
  • 6.32 Creatures not created by Fate (e.g. the lab-made Amil) get no fated mate and must choose one instead. Healing Hazel Ch 36
  • 6.33 Fate commands the spider children directly; she ordered them not to kill Aya. Loving Amari
