Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The power of protection
************************Lena's POVAfter a long silence, staring into each other eyes, rubbing hands together I spoke up in a more steady tone now."We need a plan, a new strategy," I said "Now I have realised that tapping into anger is too dangerous. There has to be a better way maybe I could focus on protection instead, I remember when trying to heal your sister I felt so powerful because what I had in mind was the Need to save her and then I was able to save her, the same thing happened with the witch, Joey" I paused to see if I would get a reaction from but I didn't get any I continued "Maybe if I tried harnessing my power by focusing on the need to save and to protect I could be able to do something huge with it"I could feel Lyla trying to say something to me, but I wasn't giving her the chance. I was still very angry at her. Coupled with the so many ideologies I had in my head about her. I didn't want to talk to her, at least not now."What's Lyla saying about it" Ethan asked

************************Adrian's POV I woke up to suffocating darkness; I was lying on a cold, hard surface, my body still aching from the silver sword's burn. My mind was foggy; I couldn't think straight, but I could sense that something had changed. The physical pain was so much unbearable, but the quietness was so much unsettling it was worse. Where was I? I was no longer in the room with Zane, everything felt so wrong. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't; the pain and the burn were so great that It was making me feel dizzy. Panic set in when I tried to move again and my limbs seemed to be frozen. It seemed not to be physically bound but mentally paralysed as if Zane's dark magic was tightening its grip, consuming the whole of me. My thoughts became sluggish invaded by something cold, ominous and sinister. I tried to fight back, but every attempt I made to fight back was fruitless. All my attempts were met with suffocating pressure. Zane was trying to break me from the inside
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Dark intentions
****************************Zane’s POVI stood in my lair, looking into the dark magic mirror I had displaying Adrian's inner torment. At first, it was entertaining and amusing watching the little wolf groan in agony, struggling and fighting to free himself from the chains of the dark magic that's been eating deep into his body. As the minutes stretched on my amusement began to turn sour. He was fighting back harder than I had expected, no one had ever been able to fight back my inner torment strategy before. I was pissed off by this but it also made me grow more interested in the little wolf. "This should not be happening", I muttered to myself; I began to pace around the length of the dark chamber; every single soul I had touched got broken. None ever took this long to submit. They all snapped under the weight of my power; their minds bent to my will easily. The little wolf was certainly different from the others; it was infuriating; I was seriously angered by this; how could th

**********************Adrian's POV My body was weak, but my senses became sharper as I found my way out of the pitch-dark void I was in earlier, the place where my mind was being tormented by the face of my child and Lena. I began to feel pain all over. Every single time I tried to move my body, my muscles felt stiff, and the bite of the dark magic was still lingering, hovering around me. The only thing I could think of right now was to find a way to survive, but the thoughts were soon discarded as I remembered that my survival only gave way to the dark magic in me taking control of my body. I was glad to feel pain because it was a sign that I was still alive, not yet lost to the darkness within. I tried to sit up, but each movement I made sent fresh waves of pain through my body. I could feel the after-effect of Zane's magic still burning through my veins.I began to reflect on how Zane's control operated; I had never seen anything like it in my whole life as an alpha wolf; yes I
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The power of love and light
*****************************Adrian's POV Just as I was feeling stronger, I began to feel somehow, again, that Zane had started another evil move of his. The darkness Zane had put inside of me began to stir up again. A constant reminder that I was not free, the dark magic whispered doubts, fears and anger, it was trying to weaken my resolve, break my will. I had made up my mind to cling to the light that was inside me. The darkness wasn't done with me yet. It kept on slithering through my thoughts, a cold whisper telling me I could win. Telling me that Zane's power was too strong for me to handle, saying Lena was already lost forever.I clenched my fists forcing darkness away. I determined not to listen, never to pay attention to the dark voice within. More visions began to troup in my mind, like a broken tap. This time it was more detailed and heartbreaking. I saw Lena struggling to protect our child.She was fighting against impossible odds; there was no way she could defeat such

****************************Adrian's POV My sense of urgency heightened as I could feel the grip of Zane on me loosening more frequently. It sharpened my mental focus, understanding that my greatest battle was in trying to control my emotions to prevent the darkness within me from consuming me completely; I was glad I found out about this because it just meant that I had won once against Zane. I knew this was the first of many wins I would win against Zane. I took a deep breath, feeling the ebb and flow of Zane's dark magic still running through my inside, but I wasn't shaken by it. I knew, and I could feel Zane's hold flickering; I just had to be careful. One wrong step, one surge of anger and I could drown in the darkness. I felt a renewed sense of purpose. This was a mental war now, and I was preparing for the final move. I experienced another vision of Lena, but this time, it was different, clearer and more realistic; I saw not only her struggling but also her resilience, and

**************************Adrian's POVThis was the moment I was waiting for the moment to push back with everything I have got; I wasn't going to sit and wait for the next fluctuation; I would create it, force it and break through his hold. Zane was beginning to show signs of frustration as I restricted his control; his mocking tone turned more to an aggressive tone, signalling that my resistance had affected him, and I was glad that I was making progress. For a moment I was skeptical i thought what I might be doing might not make any meaningful changes to Zane Seeing him talk this way made me happy, it encouraged me to keep on fighting the darkness within. Zane's voice came echoing through the dark, silent room."You think you can resist me little wolf" frustration clear in his voice I smirked inwardly I was getting to him Weakening his control, it was working, I thanked the moon goddess for giving me that insight. The more he raged the more I knew I was on the right path."You

I couldn't allow my plan to be thwarted because of him. Angrily, I pierced into his heart, squeezing his heart tightly and making him feel excruciating pain, but I made sure to squeeze in a way he wasn't going to die. I was expecting that he would begin to beg for his life or ask me to reduce the squeeze, but he seemed to be holding on strong, laughing and telling Me that I wouldn't be able to kill him because I needed him for my plans.He was right. I wouldn't be able to kill him be

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 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.

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.

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.

"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.

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

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
