Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Into the Shadows: Adrian's Resolve
***********************Adrian's POV I stood at the entrance where the hole in the walls was, and the light was pouring through. I debated with myself whether it was truly a way I could go out of just some cheap tricks made by Zane. My heartbeat quickened as Zane's voice echoed louder, making me second-guess my decision. I reflected on how far I had come. I realised that I could not afford to hesitate anymore, especially knowing that Zane might be onto me. Despite the uncertainty I felt I tried to convince myself that the only way forward was through the light. But I still couldn't help the thought that this could also be a bad choice and a trap by Zane As I stepped into the I was momentarily blinded by the intensity. The shift from the dark corridors of the fortress to the brightness made me unsettled. My senses were on high alert, expecting an attack at any moment. I found myself in a vast chamber with high ceilings unlike anything, and for a brief moment, I dared to hope that th

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.

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

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

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
