Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Strength in balance
****************************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Power in Balance
************************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The Power of Focus: A Test of Strength and Will
***********************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Forging Strength: The Path to Mastering Transformation
*************************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The art of transformation
********************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Breaking the chains: Adrian's fight for freedom
***********************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Breaking free
************************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Into the Unknown: Adrian's Desperate Escape
*********************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

Mate by Fate, Bound by Love light in the darkness
**************************Lena's POV I opened my eyes to see Ethan lying lifeless beside me, almost dead. He was standing in between me and Zane as if he was trying to wait till I had woken up so I could continue from where he stopped. I looked at the place where Adrian was. He still lay down lifeless and almost dead. "Ethan, what are you doing facing Zane" but he couldn't hear me. The next thing I saw was an almost lifeless body lying in front, eyes wide open and staring at me. I felt a rage inside. I looked at both men, and the rage to protect those I loved just sparked in me.All of a sudden, light began to shine out from every part of my body. I was still wrapped by the tendrils, but as my light began to shine from my body, little by little, I started to feel the grip of the tendrils loosen up little by little until It loosened up completely."Oh I see you are finally awake, your boyfriend tried to delay me so you could wake up I will give him a plus for that but one thing I kn
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The descent into darkness
**************************Lena's POV I was very angry about the whole thing, angry about how Ethan tried to convince me to go with him and leave Adrian. I couldn't believe he asked me to do something like that. Running through the tunnels, fueled by anger and desperation, I made up my mind to destroy Zane and make sure I saved Adrian. Ethan continued to beg me and try to change my mind, but I waivedamantm a. NT I listen to. All I could think of was saving Adrian no matter what. I wasn't going to do this; I was going to allow myself to be deceived by his selfishness. 'I don't care what Ethan says but I won't abandon Adrian and I will make sure I make Zane pay for what he has done' I said to myself I continued to move deeper into tunnels, meetings, and staircases. Everywhere I passed through, I came across Zane's minion. These dar,k evil creatures blocked my pain, and I showed them no mercy. I used every bit of anger I felt inside of me, channelling my growing rage into my attacks.
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The ultimate sacrifice
*********************Ethan's POV The sight of what I saw dreaded Me I could see the life being sniffed out from Lyla I controlled the urge to run into the middle of everything and just try to save her but I needed a plan I wouldn't want to go there and then I ended up being caught in the Web of what was going on without being able to save Lena. I tried to see if I could get signs of her alive, and I decided to use my hearing to check for a heartbeat. I was glad when I heard her heartbeat. Though it was slow, I was glad it was still beating. Leba was unconscious, with dark magic swirling around her as Zane kept on draining the power and life inside of her. Adrian was barely unconscious, chained and weakened. My heart pounded as I accessed the situation. I knew the time was running out, and I must act quickly to save both lena and Adrian. 'There's no way to win this fight outright. I need to overhang him,' I said to myself. I began to analyse and observe Zane's movement and powers.
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Awakening fury
*********************Adrian's POVI woke up to see a bunch of rocks lying on my body; I awakened my alpha strength and then used it to push off the rocks that had fallen on me. I was angry at myself for what I had done. The last thing I remember was Lena lashing out at me, sending me flying. The thoughts of that scenario just made me more angry at myself it made me feel so stupid. I didn't know how long that was.'She couldn't have gone far' I said to myself I moved the last rock on my leg and started moving forward. As I moved further, I began to see packs of Zane's minions dead on the floor. I checked for their pulses, and it seemed like they had been dead for a while. I was shocked; I wondered, how long they had died for. I left them and moved forward down the tunnel. Nel, I met more and more minions that appeared to be dead along the line bu, but I didn't see a sign of Lena. I decided to follow the trail of dead bodies and continued going further and further until I came close
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Threading on thin ice
*********************ETHAN'S POV we had come so far, but we finally got to where Lebs felt Adrian was, but we didn't find him there. Zane outsmarted us. He had beaten us to it. In a way, he was able to see through Lena's scanning to find Adrian too, and now Lena wants to go save Adrian.I wasn't going to allow them to face Zane unprepared; she had not learned enough to be able to defeat Zane. It was a dangerous thing. I was not also going to slow the risk of her life because of Adrian. She means more to me than the life of Adrian.Yes, call me selfish if you want, but I don't mind being selfish when it comes to the matters of Lena. Besides, I already listed her once; I wasn't going to lose her again to Zane, and this felt like a good way to eliminate my competition. I know that deep down in that innocent heart of yours, you are judging me, saying I am wicked, and seriously... I don't mind at all. You can think whatever you want to. All I was trying to do was just to make sure I did
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Into the heart of darkness
***********************Lena's POV I signalled to him to hurry so we coukd go find Adrian. He ran fast enough but what he did I wasn't expecting it he kissed me. It was a very brief one but I wondered how he was still able to think about doing something like that in this present situation we were in. A situation of life abd death, I actually liked the way he did it, it brought a quick smile on my face but It was immediately changed to an angry face when zabe spoke out again. "Fool you think you would win because you have this little trick" he said "I will come for you when I am done saving Adrian" I said angrily I forgot again that he was talking to me telepathically and ethsn wouldn't hear what we were saying but I ended up saying my reply our angrily. "No you are not facing him today you are not ready to do that lena" ye said worriedly.I ignored him, I kept walking down to the place where I saw Adrian while scanning through the tunnels. On reaching there I couldn't find him a
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love shadows of the fortress [2]
*********************Lena's POV As we navigated our way through the forest, trying to locate where I had seen Adrian while I was scanning the maze with my powers, the fortress became serious and dead quiet. It was a dangerous sign that we were entering a heavily guarded area, but I was slightly confused. I didn't see this place where I was scanning. Getting closer, I got to understand that it was because the dark magic covering this particular area was a very thick and strong one that my light couldn't penetrate through, probably because I didn't tap into the right amount of light magic. I just felt like I didn't need much of it to scan through it's why I didn't tap into much light. But I then understood that I was supposed to tap into as much as I could. We were fixed to confront a smaller group of minions in a very brief but intense fight.Ethan was the one who handled most of the combat combining his wolf strength with his skills of handling a weapon. I used my magical powers t
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love shadows of the fortress
****************************Lena's POV I and Ethan carefully moved through the darkness, sticking to the shadows to avoid detection. The tension became more heightened as we began to hear the sound of footsteps and the constant growling of Zaes minions. My heart pounded, and I tried to keep myself composed, knowing Adrian was somewhere nearby. There was a serious debate in my mind. I was wondering if I could use my magic to cloak my presence, but I feared I might alert Zane if I couldn't get it right. I knew that every step we took brought us closer to the danger we would eventually have to face. I still had a deep contemplation of the matter, wondering if there was a way I could avoid Zane and not fight him. The whole fortress seemed to be fortified with his dark magic. I could feel the weight of its presence weighing strongly on me.As we continued deeper into the fortress, we began to see more groups of Zane's minions. Now it was really obvious that Zane had already felt my pre
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Against the Darkness: A Wolf's Fury
***************************Adrian's POV I tried removing my hands, but he held on tight his grip was strong. He twisted my hands. I groaned in pain. I could hear my bones crack and the sound of my muscles tearing. He used his other hand to give me a hard blow on my belle. It sent me flying over and falling to the ground. He rushed at me on the ground with his vamp speed, hitting me on the ground and brushing me against the wall of the tunnel. I could sense my soul almost slipping away from my body I felt like I was going to die but my mind flashed back to LenaImmediately I felt a sudden wave of strength flow through me it was like the thought of Lena had just sparked new strength within me as I was being dragged around the walls of the tunnel in a circle I managed to bring out my claws using then them to forcefully hit the vampire making sure my claws passed through his skin.The pain he felt made him throw me down forcefully. But he was a vampire. They heal faster than werewolves
