****************************Adrian's povI looked at Claire and I noticed that she was not alright. She was sweating profusely and she did not tell me. I was confused and was pondering on the matter, what is wrong with her."Are you okay??" I askedShe nodded her head, it was as if my presence made her weak and looked discouraged. I hates the feeling of being uncomfortable in a particular place and Claire was a good definition of that.I came to meet her on the account of reconciliation and Clarity. Claire is a fine lady no doubt but the attitude and character she displayed has the ability to crumble her down.I took the fantasy book and continued reading since all was "well" with her. She laid down on the couch as her face squeezed in pains. I did not continue to read the book, I closed the book, stood up from the bed and squatted in front of the couch.I could not ask her anything because her eyes were closed and she was looking like one who was in great pain. I was pondering on ho
****************************I was happy at the sudden treatment that Adrian was giving to me, the look in his eyes when he realized that everything was not well made me feel alright.He left the room as I sat down on the bed as I needed to progress to the next level, I knew that I had mentioned that Lena was a spy but I did not tell him the specific details.I wore a big baggy trousers on a red blouse and went to the throne room, on my way I met Lena looking so lost, scared and dejected. There was this glee on my face because that's what I wanted to achieve.Getting to the throne room, I realized that Adrian was not there, he had probably gone for missions, I went to the room and locked myself up.I began to have sexual urges at it as getting more intense than ever, I fell into a deep contemplation about this matter as I do not want to be known as the beta who could not control her sexual urges.I thought it was because of my wolf, here's another secret about me, I do not think I hav
**************************Adrian's povI woke up and realized that there was a bandage on my stomach, it feels vague as I was trying to remember what had really happened. The last thing I remembered was that we were in a battle field and we were losing the war.I noticed that my chambers was very quiet, I smirked as I remembered telling them that I do not want to be disturbed. I wore a white free shirt on a black trousers as I stepped out of the room.I was met with different expressions on the face of my guards as I wondered what situation warranted such expression. It's not like I was feeling pains or dizzy in any way.Right from when I was young I grew up with the mentality that responsibility to the people come first, in sickness and in health. I could not be bothered by the expression on their faces as I entered into the palace where the Council of Elders were. The gloom on their faces as they were discussing certain solutions in order to avert the incoming danger, the was sil
*********************Claire's povI really can't tell the thoughts and intent of the things that are running through Adrian's mind. I've tried all possible best to let Adrian know that I have started developing feelings for him. I thought that eliminating Lena from his mind was enough to gain access to his heart, but I never knew that it was going to be this hard.I went to my chambers and thought about the information I was going to give to Adrian, I decided to spice it up a little, and I needed to deepen the enemy between them for Adrian to find comfort in my bosom.I wore a light jacket as I went outside the palace to receive a fresh breeze. After a few minutes, I stepped into my chambers and was about to take a nap when I felt a weird sensation all over my body, trying to think about what had caused such sensation, my sexual organism began to bubble as I began pouring out my juices.I was perplexed about the whole situation, "what was wrong with me?" I pondered.This phenomen
Adrian's povI 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.FLASHBACKI 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
************************Lena's pov"How can my life revolve around this?" I pondered on this things. I had experienced two things in life - pain and pleasure. Although the pain outweighs the pleasure that I have felt.I needed space to think as I wondered where it had all gone wrong. The change of attitude of Alpha Adrian towards me is in a blink of an eye. From the sweet little princess that he could not do without to the monster that he wants to kill.I knew for a surety that the change of attitude towards me is as a result of the one who is working behind the scenes in order to see my downfall, implanting cruel words about me to him.I wondered who that was and I was so scared to confront Alpha Adrian to know who it was and what the problem was.An ominous feeling crept up as I shivered at the thought, the number of wolves who are waiting for my downfall in order to devour me outweighs the number of wolves who wanted to see Alpha Adrian genuinely happy.I never knew how cheap I wa
***********************Lena's pov"This is unfair" I proclaimed silently in my heart as Lady Claire's whip landed on my back, I was still in shock as I tried to look for the incident that I really cause that warrant such beating on my back and yet I found none.There was anger visible on her face as she looked like one who had lost her candy. Remembering that she was my rival in the "Luna's" position before Alpha Adrian changed his attitude towards and I sighed wondering if I was cursed, or there was something going on with me.Alpha Adrian came in just in time to see bruises on my body, he silently gazed at me as his eyes stared at me for some minutes before he removed his eyes on me and looked at Lady Claire.It's not a rumor that's it's better for Alpha Adrian to shout at you than for him to silently gaze at you, his silence gaze is a warzone on its own.I guess Lady Claire had this consciousness that was why the whip which was to be landed on my back for the.......... Truth to b
****************************Claire's povI was so jealous that she was carrying Adrian's child, a lowly slave like her, a good for nothing low ranked omega wolf, I paced round my chambers looking for the perfect excuse in order to get rid of that child.I was so cautious of my movement and the way I interacted with the other ranks of the pack, I knew that the relationship between I and Adrian was only at the beginning stage and I needed to show that it was worth it.I thought of every single detail to make Adrian to like me, although I knew that Adrian has a split personality disorder, I knew that to an extent, I was close to him, I do not want to ruin what we had started by my "attitude".Different thoughts ran through my head as I racked my brain on the ideas that I was meant to use in order to get rid of the child in Lena's stomach.I knew that it was the Child in Lena's stomach that made Adrian to be careful and concern around her.I knew what I had to do, before I think of killi
**************************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
**************************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.
*********************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.
*********************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
*********************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
***********************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
*********************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
****************************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
***************************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
