****************************Adrian's pov The information I had received from Claire earlier got me pondering, I never knew that I had allow a spy into my home but on a second thought what if she's not a spy?? I could not be bothered by such thought as I remembered the weakness that I had - being moved by words.Although I had intimidated Claire and tell her that I am not moved by words nor can be manipulated by words, truth be told, I am one who can be moved or manipulated by words.Different thoughts ran through my mind but I tried to maintain a calm gaze as I looked at Claire, she looked afraid and scared of me. I smirked as I knew the reason why her reaction was so different.Ever since she encountered Ian, she had never being the same again, it was such a funny experience tho, till now, I am reeling in laughter whenever I remember the incident.She was shaking vigorously as her expression was full of shock, I noticed her every moment and wondered if a beta wolf can be dense at
*************Adrian's povI woke up with a throbbing headache, I sighed, ever since that night, I had not encountered such a throbbing headache, and I wondered what could be this cause.FLASHBACKAfter I had placed the spy in the dungeon, I became cautious of my every movement and speech, I did not tell the secret of the pack nor the strategy used to win the war anybody.The Council of Elders was clueless about what was happening as in every war that was fought, the strategy was not brought forth in time.It was on the battlefield that the strategy would be told, and this caused a lot of confusion and distress among the soldiers. I knew that this was not the best option as we have encountered several defeats as a result of the unplanned strategies but I was unfazed as I knew that the plan I had come up with was for the safety of the pack.I could not be bothered by the looks given to me by the Council of Elders, only the moon goddess knows what wicked plans that run in their heart.
*****************Adrian's pov"This would be one of the greatest wars recorded in history, no other war would be as great and chilling as this". One of the Council of Elders spokeThe news sounds gibberish to my ears, how would there be a pack war and I was so clueless about it."He's awake!!" One of the Council of Elders exclaimed.I was shocked and surprised by the sudden outburst"Was I asleep before??" I pondered as I looked at the one who made such a statement like one who had grown two heads.Anyways back to the one telling the tale about the wars as I was confused, curiosity burned in my eyes as I waited for him to finish his tale before I proceeded to ask a question"What was the focal point of this discussion??" I asked.The Council of Elders looked at me, surprise and shock was evident in their expression. I know the attitude that I am portraying right now is weird but I can't help it.I had been up all night trying to figure out what to do with Lena's case. Being the rulin
************************Claire's povI had envisioned how this day would look like, the period when Lena would finally be destroyed.The day was fully blissful when I received a call that made my day."Mission accomplished," The one on the other end saidI went out of the chambers just in time to see Adrian coming out of his chambers, I smiled as I walked towards him.It's so funny right, the same Alpha wolf I am running away from is the same Alpha wolf I am embracing, l thought deeply about it and realized that I had met him in an odd situation.He came closer to me and I bowed my head, although I am a little bit free with him that does not mean that I don't get scared or afraid whenever I am in his presence."Still scared of me right??" He asked in hus cold emotionless voice and this made me become wary.I tried to be as comfortable with him as before but I realized that it's not working out. I was amazed and confused about myself as I was pondering on the current situation.I thou
*********************Lena's povAlthough I was surprised about Alpha Adrian's attitude towards me, I never knew it could be this bad.I was pondering on my current fate and I rubbed my hands on my belly, this was my only source of joy in this terrible times.I went out of the palace and I noticed that the beta wolves were discussing and they pointed their hands towards my direction. I could not blame them tho since I knew the perpetrator of such acts. I recalled how my life had been and tears run down my cheeks.Although I had been humiliated and insulted in my other pack but it was not up to the amount of humiliation I am currently facing in this pack.I was a plague that everybody is running away from, I never knew about my origins and I do not care to know.Given the incident that had occurred to me, I wondered if my life was a blessing or a curse, I pondered if I had ever offended the moon goddess that she would bestow such fate to me.I could not lift up my head properly in th
*************************Claire's povAlthough it is quite satisfying to know that Lena has been treated like a slave in the palace, I could not get hold of the feeling that she is breathing the same air with me.I needed her out of the way completely, all the plans which I had setup for her was gradually falling into place, the only one that got me angry was that she was still with her child, I needed the child out of the picture.Anyways this would not stop me from accomplishing my goals. I was racking my brains looking for a plan that could lead her to the execution stage.I saw my father coming out of his chambers with an expressionless face, if it was before, I would not dare to go close to him but right now he's my closest buddy.I went to him and hugged him, his expression softened as he looked at me."Are you alright??" He askedI nodded my head and he was about to leave my presence when he heard a word from me that stopped him in his tracks."I needed advice from you, I thin
**********************Lena's povLady Claire came to me looking so angry like I had her favourite toy stolen away from her.I was coming back from the library and I had come to meet the commotion outside the maid chambers. I entered and everyone's eyes turned to mine, I was confused on what had happened.The gazes that were shown towards me by the high-ranked wolves were mixed - mockery, pity. I was confused about the situation and was wondering why I would receive such a gaze from them.It was when I entered the chambers that I understand the gravity of the situation. The jewelry of Lady Claire's was seen in my bag I couldn't understand the situation as I was confused on what had happened.Lady Claire looked at me and a smirk was seen on her face, I tried to wrap my head around the situation, who would try to frame me up??I had not offended anyone ever since I came to the pack although I had unintentionally stepped on their toes when I was introduced as the Alpha's mate.Alpha Adr
***************************Ethan's povI sat down, lost in thoughts. Where had it gone wrong?? I pondered on this current situation. I was the ruling Alpha, my father died three months after Lena's departure, turns out that he had been battling with an ailment long before now.FLASHBACKI entered my father's chambers and I noticed that he was pale, his countenance looked more of a sickly person than a healthy person. If any of the wolves had told me that my father would be laying on the bed looking so sick to the point of death, only the moon goddess knows what would have happened to such personHe had been ruling the kingdom for too long, the cause of his illness was a deadly poison which was injected into his system, it is not detected at the early stage but it is detected at the later stages.The pack doctor looked at me and sighed"He doesn't have much time to live" He said as he bowed his head and left my presence.I looked at my father as my father coughed out blood, I was rac
**************************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
