****************************Ethan's POV We had just finished our previous conversation and training session. The atmosphere felt calmer now but I still sensed the need to cement our next step. The urge to do ds was so strong. I initiated the conversation to solidify our plan and make sure they aligned well once again. I stooped up to get the both of us a glass of water, then came back to sit next to her.I could tell that she needed the water from the way she gulped it all down fast enough. She probably didn't ask as she didn't remember water since her mind was just everywhere else, especially in the training and the battle to come. We both needed to catch our breath, but the truth remained that there was no time to relax completely.After like an hour of not saying a word just her hands on mine, her head was on my shoulder. She placed her head on my shoulder after age had drunk the water finish. "We've made great progress today", I started, my voice steady "but we need to decide w
************************Lena's POV Ethan's assurance gave me a kind of push and zeal; I felt comfortable after hearing his constant assurance after promising he was going to stay by me. I began to prepare mentally for another training session determined to test my limits and hone my powers.The truth is I was nervous but I was trying to keep my focus on the need to protect the one I love. I could feel and hear Lyla's assurance in my head, urging me to stay calm and controlled. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. O lest I forget, we had already left the living room to the battle floor; we didn't want to take chances and ended up scattering the whole living room. The battleground is where Ethan and other warrior wolves train even wolves. The tension in the air was palpable but I knew what I had to do. Lyla’s voice echoed on my mind continually urging me to calm down. "Focus, Lena. You need to control it, not let it control you." She said I could feel Ethan’s reassuring pre
***********************Lena's POV "I barely managed the chair last time," I said "But you did it, and now you've successfully lifted that heavy statue outside there,", Ethan said, hands brushing mine, his presence grounding me."You've got this," he said softly "Trust yourself"I hesitated, confronting my self-doubt and fear of failure. Lyla's strict guidance, contrasted with Ethan's gentler encouragement, created a moment of internal conflict for me. I began to question my ability to handle the pressure, but both Lyla and then kept urging me to go on For a while, I froze, thinking if I could do this or not. I looked at the items I was told to lift one by one, all made of heavy metals. 'What if I can't do it? What if I lose control of the magic?' This thought was stuck in my head for a while fear gnawed at me. Lyla's voice snapped through my thoughts, "Stop doubting yourself! You've done harder harder things than this. Focus, Lena" At the mention of harder things, I began to wond
*************************Lena's POVAfter I finished with the utensils in the kitchen, I went to the stable where the horses were kept and tried lifting them with my mind. It also didn't take time before I was able to lift them in the air, turning them around and round in circles until I was convinced that I was able to handle it. I placed them down, Ethan Brought me a glass of water again "You are getting better at doing it" he said collecting the glass cup back after I was done drinking"Yeah I think so" I smiled lightly "Thanks to you" I added "You kept on encouraging me, never believing that I could do it" I continued "Nah, it's nothing; it's my job to stand by you. Don't forget that", he assured me. His assurance made me feel safe. "Won't you tell me thank you?" Lyla blurted out.t I laughe,d almost removing water I just drank out of my nose because of the way she sounded. She sounded jealous."I am sorry did I say something funny?" Ethan asked. "No, you didn't. It's Lyla
********************Lena's POVI began by choosing a simple object; I went around the battleground looking for any object that was simple and probably small. Like a small rock, stone or a stick so I could attempt to transform them into a weapon. Lyla kept on giving technical advice, and I walked around to find any object. I finally found a rock and a stick I picked two of them and stood. Lyla began to tell me how to channel my energy into the object while Ethan watched, offering support from where he stood. My first attempt was really shaky and unstable I struggled a lot to adapt to the new skill. It seemed harder than trying to lift object.Did I just say it seemed? It was harder than trying to lift an object. I held the rock I had taken, holding it tightly in my palm."Yes that's good starting with something small is better," like said "Now focus on the energy within you, try to push it from your inside into your physical body then to your arms, and let it flow through to your han
***********************Adrian's POV My body felt weak; the wounds that Zane had inflicted on me through his devilish attack were still throwing with pain, the black magic still threatening to consume me. I tried to keep my mind sharp. I cod feel the weight of zabes taunts, but my determination to escape and protect my family kept me grounded. The darkness kept on gnawing at me, but my resolve was stronger. I wouldn't make him win; Lena and my child needed me. Zane had the upper hand physically, but I still had my mind intact, and my will to fight was as strong as ever. Zabe co tinued to insult ne he locked me for thinking I could escape and protect my family. He keeps on using his black magic and voice as a weapon trying to break my spirit by reminding me about my past failures "You think there's a way out, little wolf? You're trapped here, in this room, in your weakness, your precious mate Lena, and your child; what name would you have given her? Hmmm, let me see Dora, Lila, or
************************Adrian's POV I continued to test the weak point in the wall, carefully applying small pressures at intervals with my fingers while keeping Zane distracted. My heartbeat was sounding louder in my ears. Truth be said, I was afraid; I was quietly praying to the Moon goddess not to be caught. I still tried to keep Zane distracted with my movement controlled. I knew that if I made a sudden shift, it could alert Zane to my plans.'I had to stay focused one wrong move and it's over Zane would notice he thought he had me cornered but I have to use this to my advantage I can't afford to be careless about this' I thought Zane kept pacing around the room, his eyes narrowing as if I sensed something was off, but he still couldn't pinpoint my subtle actions. He tried to reassert his control over me, throwing more taunts and threats my way.Zane hinted at the power of the dark magic laced in the room further heightening the tension "You think you can just sit here there
*********************Adrian's POV I continued to push through the opening; it was like a maze, like an underground passage. My body was exhausted, and my senses became heightened, but the disorientation of the tunnel began to weigh me down. It began to wear on him. The air in the maze felt colder than ever. Earlier the shadows kept playing constant tricks on my mind. I reflected on what was at stake, what I needed to achieve and my purpose of making sure I left this hole. Failure meant losing Lena and my child and the fight against Zane forever.I would be deemed if the road I was threading on led towards freedom or a dead end. But I kept recalling Lena's face using it as my source of strength and to fuel my determination.The footsteps I heard earlier began to draw closer; I didn't know if it was Zane's minions or if it was him coming closer, but I couldn't think of that thinking of that would only slow my movement. Footsteps echoed in the dis, dance making my heart beat faster th
