Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Fractured resolve
***************************Zane's POVI began to reflect on my endgame, telling myself why I needed Adrian and the greater plan I had in mind. I had to remind myself of the larger picture I wanted to paint. Thinking of the power and control I would gain once Adrian has succumbed to the darkness. One thing you didn't know is that once my dark magic successfully corrupts anyone automatically I get the strength of the person, irrespective of who the person was so I needed Adrian to be corrupted not just because I want him to be my warrior leading my pack or legion of dark magic supernatural I also wanted his wolf strength for my wolf. The truth was my wolf was not as strong as it used to dark magic was just a cover-up for me if I were to stand and fight a person with my wolf abilities alone I don't think I would survive so I need Adrian's strength as well, in his bloodline wolf's had a very unique kind of strength. Due to what I wanted I was temporarily assured, I cantvaffired to do
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love unyielding spirit
*********************Zane's POV I was frustrated that all my tactics seemed fruitless, but I decided that since Adrian wants to talk then I would give him what he wanted. I fling him away, removing my hands from his heart and lungs. It left an open hole in his body, but it was gradually healing; the black magic was making it heal faster. That's why I didn't think twice about doing that to him.I knew that the dark magic inside him would make him heal faster so there was no need for panic. I decided to provoke him, believing that if I could stir up his anger, the dark magic would gain more ground. My eyes glinted as I looked down at Adrian; his hands were on his heart. "You think your stubbornness will save you, little wolf" I sneered my voice laced with deep malice "No one can withstand it for long. Soon you'll break like all the others you are nothing" I said"You think so? Well, I beg to differ; how many of your slaves, or should I say captors, have stayed this long?" He asked r
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Unbreakable Bonds
*****************************Ethan's POV I leaned back slightly, watching Lena with quiet admiration, thinking back from the very first time I met her in the woods down to the day I rejected her when I went to save her when we found out about her true lineage and her struggle with the spoon and now the success with the chair. She was progressing; it was impressive and incredible. Just a few days ago, she could barely control her powers, and now here she was, lifting objects with ease. Still, I couldn't help but worry. There was something else that was weighing her down and something she wasn't saying. I kept on looking at her as she continued to concentrate on the chair in front of her; my mind raced. What if she was pushing herself too much? What if the real battle came? She was stronger now than I had ever imagined; still, the weight of the uncertainty of what lies ahead still bored down on Me.I couldn't shake off the feeling of worry from my mind, not worry about myself, but w
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Crossroads of the Hearts
***********************Ethan's POV I watched as Lena lowered herself onto the ground, wiping sweat from her brow. She looked a little bit exhausted. The energy in the air was calm, but there was still an undercurrent of tension. I took a deep breath, knowing that there was no way to avoid the next conversation in our minds, which was the bigger conversation. "Lena, now that you've been able to move things with your mind, what do we do next? We need to talk about what comes next" I asked I calmly asked Lena about how she felt after the training, using the moment to open up about my concerns and to probe her about what was in her mind and what was troubling her. I didn't want to push too hard but I knew we needed to be prepared for whatever comes next, whatever lies ahead."How are you feeling?" I asked my voice was low and gentle as I didn't want to overwhelm her but I couldn't help the biting concern in my chest "I know you've been pushing yourself too hard, my dear. I can see it

****************************Ethan's POV We had just finished our previous conversation and training session. The atmosphere felt calmer now but I still sensed the need to cement our next step. The urge to do ds was so strong. I initiated the conversation to solidify our plan and make sure they aligned well once again. I stooped up to get the both of us a glass of water, then came back to sit next to her.I could tell that she needed the water from the way she gulped it all down fast enough. She probably didn't ask as she didn't remember water since her mind was just everywhere else, especially in the training and the battle to come. We both needed to catch our breath, but the truth remained that there was no time to relax completely.After like an hour of not saying a word just her hands on mine, her head was on my shoulder. She placed her head on my shoulder after age had drunk the water finish. "We've made great progress today", I started, my voice steady "but we need to decide w

************************Lena's POV Ethan's assurance gave me a kind of push and zeal; I felt comfortable after hearing his constant assurance after promising he was going to stay by me. I began to prepare mentally for another training session determined to test my limits and hone my powers.The truth is I was nervous but I was trying to keep my focus on the need to protect the one I love. I could feel and hear Lyla's assurance in my head, urging me to stay calm and controlled. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. O lest I forget, we had already left the living room to the battle floor; we didn't want to take chances and ended up scattering the whole living room. The battleground is where Ethan and other warrior wolves train even wolves. The tension in the air was palpable but I knew what I had to do. Lyla’s voice echoed on my mind continually urging me to calm down. "Focus, Lena. You need to control it, not let it control you." She said I could feel Ethan’s reassuring pre
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The Power of Focus: A Test of Strength and Will
***********************Lena's POV "I barely managed the chair last time," I said "But you did it, and now you've successfully lifted that heavy statue outside there,", Ethan said, hands brushing mine, his presence grounding me."You've got this," he said softly "Trust yourself"I hesitated, confronting my self-doubt and fear of failure. Lyla's strict guidance, contrasted with Ethan's gentler encouragement, created a moment of internal conflict for me. I began to question my ability to handle the pressure, but both Lyla and then kept urging me to go on For a while, I froze, thinking if I could do this or not. I looked at the items I was told to lift one by one, all made of heavy metals. 'What if I can't do it? What if I lose control of the magic?' This thought was stuck in my head for a while fear gnawed at me. Lyla's voice snapped through my thoughts, "Stop doubting yourself! You've done harder harder things than this. Focus, Lena" At the mention of harder things, I began to wond

*************************Lena's POVAfter I finished with the utensils in the kitchen, I went to the stable where the horses were kept and tried lifting them with my mind. It also didn't take time before I was able to lift them in the air, turning them around and round in circles until I was convinced that I was able to handle it. I placed them down, Ethan Brought me a glass of water again "You are getting better at doing it" he said collecting the glass cup back after I was done drinking"Yeah I think so" I smiled lightly "Thanks to you" I added "You kept on encouraging me, never believing that I could do it" I continued "Nah, it's nothing; it's my job to stand by you. Don't forget that", he assured me. His assurance made me feel safe. "Won't you tell me thank you?" Lyla blurted out.t I laughe,d almost removing water I just drank out of my nose because of the way she sounded. She sounded jealous."I am sorry did I say something funny?" Ethan asked. "No, you didn't. It's Lyla

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.
