Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

*******************

Adrian’s pov

I had this feeling that someone was spying secretly at me, I was trying to think when I began to hear diverse thoughts, I knew that it was not Lena as I got to find out that it was Claire, she was anxious and curious on what was happening.

She met my silent gaze and she began to tremble, I smirked as I into the palace not bothering to know what she was currently facing.

I was still in the state of shock as I couldn’t believe what Claire had told me concerning Lena, I began to ponder on the authencity of the words I had gotten, afterall I got it from one who her motives might be wrong.

I tried to cleanse my mind from immoral thoughts, only the moon goddess knows how hurt and pain I feel inside. I had an enmity with the Lycan king of the other pack because of the grudge that happened several centuries ago.

FLASHBACK

I was only but a young wolf who had started to receive acknowledgement from it’s pack members, it’s just so happened that this happens to be the the third war I encountered ever since I became the ruling Alpha of the pack.

Every Strategy and energy was put into place, the plans we made in order to beiseige the Lycan’s pack, we were shocked to our marrow when we knew that they had no the plans before and the loopholes which came with the plan.

There’s was a backup plan that was only known by the Council of Elders was known by the pack, I was surprised and amazed at the occurrence. This had become my second defeat in the war and I wondered what had gone wrong.

We had a snitch and a spy on the palace who occupied a prominent position among the Council, such wolf was responsible for relaying the information, plans and their movement to the Lycan king.

Our pack was headed towards destruction, as I did all I could in order to savage the situation but it was to no avail. With an annoying smirk on his face, the Lycan king engaged in a one – to – one battle.

“Let’s see where your strength lies, hopefully you’ll be able to maintain your grounds to the end” he said.

The words which he spoke got me angry, no one had ever challenge my authority as everybody respected my decision and work with it. Before the war began he said

“Let’s make a bet, any pack who loses is surrendering his army and weapons to the winning team”

I gritted my teeth and said

“Sure”

The battle between the two rulers had begun. The fight lasted for several hours, I was becoming to get weak and tired but I had to presevere to the last because, the pack’s victory or defeat lies in the last man standing.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The fate of the pack lked in my hands and I could not dash the hope the pack has on me. The Battle was one of the brutal battle that had occured in history.

The Lycan king had grievous injuries as the Lycan king made a declaration with blood in his lips.

“I surrender to you, but do not worry in centuries to come, I’ll be back in a way you least expected ” He said.

His armies joined my armies as he left the battle empty. Seeing that he had gone, I clutched to my stomach as he had inserted a sword there, blood was gushing out of that spot.

I held the sword in my hand as the sword became my support as I walked back to the battle ground in order to meet the following pack members.

They were soldiers bodies littered all over the floor, we won the war no doubt but it came as a result of an expensive price and sacrifice made by loyal soldiers to see to the victory of such wars.

I vowed solemnly in my heart that their deaths would not be in vain as necessary action will be our into place. My eyes were becoming dizzy as I was pondering on the after effect of this.

I looked at the trespasser as different wicked thoughts ran through my mind, I was thinking about what kind of torture would be suitable for him because of him, many died and some are gravely injured.

Getting to the palace, I was ready to unleash my anger on him by sending him to the torture room, I guess he knew that it was doomsday to him as he fainted.

This got me angry because I was unable to extract information from him and he escaped the torture that was been formulated deep inside of me.

I sat on the throne and pondered on the words in which the Lycan king had said, I think the end result of his words was that I was going to be betrayed by a close associates.

Because of the talk, it affected the way I related with the pack members and the Council of Elders, I do not share a close relationship with any of them as I do not want to experience the hurt and pain that comes with betrayal.

I was making accurate calculations and predictions in order to avert the incoming war, I knew that centuries to come I will experience a face-off battle between the Lycan king and I.

I’m planning out an accurate strategy on order for there to be a victory in the war with less casualties, there was this ominous feeling that my every movement was being watched by a pair of eyes.

BACK TO PRESENT

Claire making the came assumptions affirmed the feeling or did it?? I became more cautious of my environment as I went out of the palace in order to think more deeply in order to tackle the ongoing situation.

There was this premonition I had that Lena might be innocent and Claire was lying in order to gain access into my heart, but I decided to trust her based on the integrity of her father.
