Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Finding the Path: The Locator Spell
*******************Ethan's POV I observed as Lena completed her final set of transformation training. I marvelled at how far she had come since we started training; I thought back to her initial struggles and doubts about herself. My heart swelled with pride, knowing that Lena had not only grown in power but also grew in confidence. I reflected on my role in her journey and how much it had impacted me as well. Despite the pride I felt. I couldn't shake the growing sense of urgency I was feeling. Time seemed to be running out faster than ever. I could sense that Adrian's situation was getting more critical with every single passing day. I knew we needed to act sooner. I couldn't help but wonder that if it was different circumstances or different times, Adrian and I could have been good friends and comrades. He looked like someone I would love to be friends with. Come to think of it, I didn't even have an alpha friend. The only alpha I know that's not me is Sophia, my sister. I hop
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Into the Shadows: The Journey Begins
************************Ethan's POV "Does this mean this is where he is?" I asked "Lyla said Yes" Lena replied "Does this mean that nothing can go wrong in this spell, is there a possibility that it might be a wrong destination?" I asked Deep down, something in Me was hoping that it was the wrong location because finding Adrian would only mean that my chances of getting Lena back would be very slim, so I was really hoping that it was the wrong location. "Lyla said nothing can go wrong with a locator spell that was cast with the blood of the person to be found or a relative blood," Lena said Disappointment flusheded through my bo,dy, but I couldn't afford to make it obvious that I was disappointed. I knew I couldn't afford to get emotional right now; I couldn't afford to let my disappointment weigh me down. "We can't just go like that. We need to plan, prepare and strategise,z,e," I said, I'm trying to shift my thoughts and mind in another direction. I was hit by the emotional
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Sense of foreboding
**************************Lena's POVThe further we travelled into the forest, the more the atmosphere appeared to shift. Despite the time of year, a chilly, sharp breeze snuck in. It seemed like the forest was aware of our destination and goals. Each tree and shadow appeared to surround us, murmuring about hidden dangers nearby. The heaviness of our mission burdened me as I continued walking, yet I refused to succumb to fear.I looked at Ethan, who was walking next to me with a determined silence. His hand sometimes moved towards the sword hilt on his belt, indicating his instincts were becoming more acute. I could feel his stress, his instinct to protect in full force. I was curious if he had doubts about our choice to depart early. We had spent days preparing, but did we adequately prepare? There was no going back at this point. Adrian was waiting for us out there, and every minute we postponed gave Zane more opportunity to strengthen his hold.The idea of Adrian being confined b
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The Dark Fortress: A Brewing Storm
***********************Lena’s PoVAs we began to get close to Zane's fortress, the landscape began to change extremely. The trees were gradually thinned out. It was as if the deeper into the woods we got, the thinner the trees appeared, revealing unevenly cut twisted rocks that seemed to have been damaged by dark magic. I knew instantly that we were getting closer to this ominous darkness.The air became very heavy and suffocating. It was getting really hard to breathe. Each breath we took felt more. It was as if the magic itself was trying to choke us. My heart began to beat a lot faster than usual. My heightened senses told me that we were dangerously close to our goal.But I couldn't shake the feeling that we might also be entering into our doom and our end. As we continued onward, I noticed how the darkness that was around us had taken a new turn. It was like the quality had been enhanced or fortified,d or maybe more darkness had been added to it.It wasn't just lacking light, no
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Into the Lion's Den: The Dark Fortress
***************************Lena's POV "A witch's haunch?" I asked surprisingly "Yes, Lena, a witch's hunch", she repeated."What's Lena saying," Ethan asked "She says you might be right," I said "Really if that's the case then let us start moving there not enough time to waste Lena" he said "Okay let's go get Adrian "I felt a surge of fear and dread as we got closer to the Fortress; I was thinking about what Ethan and Lyla had said about Adrian's possible escape from Zane's hold. I was silently praying to the Moon goddess to make sure he wasn't caught again. The Fortress seemed to breathe in dark magic and breathe our dark magic as well and my stomach tumbled at the intensity of it. I could sense Zane's power at its peak here, here, but I could also sense something off about it. Its powers seemed to flicker at some point. I wondered if it was really because Adrian had escaped. Ethan was walking protectively in front of Me. The sight of him made me want to laugh, but I couldn'

************************Zane's POV "Adrian you can't hide from me forever, come out now and who knows I might just decide to be nicer to you this time around" I said out loud My minions and I had been searching and looking for him for a while now, but he was nowhere to be found. I could sense his presence was still around, but I could still tell Adrian was around here. As I continued to extend my magic through the shadows surrounding the fortress, I felt a sudden disturbance coming like a wave, and it caught my attention.I sensed a presence, something unfamiliar; it felt strong and distinctly opposite to the dark energy I wielded. At first,t I dismissed it,t thinking I might it might be the result of his overextended power. But the presence grows stronger, closer and more irritating, like a beacon of light trying to pierce through the heavy blanket of my dark magic.I paused, my thoughts shifting from Adrian to the new presence. As we focused on it, a realisation hit me: this is

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

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