****************Lena's povI woke up with a slight headache, I looked around and realized that Adrian was not around. I could not blame Lyla though, I was the person who requested for the information and as a good servant that she is, she gave me the information."Thanks, but I am not a servant" she saidI rolled my eyes, she should be grateful that I gave her space in my head in order for her to occupy, else she would have been out ever since."You should be grateful that I am staying in your head, I who is of royal being" Lyla said.I chuckled at her statement, who does she think she is, anyways I needed to dress and I'll be headed to the library, there is a fantasy book that I really want to complete.Ever since the incident occurred, I have learnt to trust no one, including my personal maid. I came as an innocent being but I learnt to be wise and cunning in this game, I am enjoying luxury and I don't want to stop anytime soon.Although I am Alpha Adrian mate, I have not been able
***************Claire's povI was happy when I saw the sad and gloomy smile that was shown on Lena's face as a result of the words that I speak.Although I needed to carry out the plan fast, I have not gotten Adrian to trust me yet.While in the midst of this, it was better I gain accurate information about her, the freedom she was enjoying in this palace was getting me issued off.I enjoyed being the bethroted to the ruling Alpha but it was snatched from me in one night.Ever since that night till now, I have not been able to recover from the trauma that she brought. Although I wanted to spend my time in getting my revenge, she's not worth spending the whole of my day on. The communication between me and Adrian keeps dwindling and he spare no time in shoving it to my face that he can do without me.The breaking of the plates made me startled for a moment, I turned my eyes towards the direction as the maid who was the perpetrator of such acts was on her knees pleading."Was I this
***************Claire's pov I was still going through the plan when I heard a knock on the door, only the moon goddess know where I hid the plan as I went to open the door, opening the door, I was amazed on who I saw on the door.I was wondering what is going on that would allow my father to visit me, my father who was a self centered man is visiting his daughter. I was surprised at the present situation although I tried not to show it out."Let me get dressed" I told my father.His cold emotionless eyes looked at me as I took that as getting his permission, I went in and looked for a simple wear, in less than twenty minutes I was done with dressing.I came outside and he looked at my dress, I was getting uncomfortable with his stared as I maintained a smiling face and tried not to show it that I was getting scared with my father's stares.Silence ensured between us"Are you alright??" He said breaking the silence.I nodded my head"Don't know why a daughter will be scared of her fa
************Adrian's povI went out of the chambers as I went to the outskirts of the city, all around I saw that the people were happy, mothers protecting their children.Fathers were protecting their children and they were in a happy home. Although I was seen as a cold blooded beast, protecting the pack from all sorts of troubles was an oat I swore to the pack because of the vow I made to my parents before they died.FLASHBACKI was on the bed reading a comic book when my father who was the head of the pack came in looking gloomy, although I was only but a small wolf, I was able to feel the emotions coming out from my father.I closed the book and I looked at my father, my father was one who I looked up to, he was a great fighter, a great warrior, all the rival packs bowed when they head his name.My father sat down on the bed as his eyes which was full of immense depth of wisdom looked at my cold emotionless eyes."Son," He beganHe took a deep breath for a minute then he continu
*****************Adrian's povGetting to the chambers, I met Claire coming out of the chambers with her father, the two of them were in a serious discussion as she was nodding her head, acknowledging and assimilating whatever her father had said.Till now, I am still irritated by her presence. They got to the direction where I stood and bowed their head, I nodded my head slightly and said a word"Rise"They rose up their heads, Claire's could not look directly to me, obviously she remembered the threats and warnings I had given to her as a result of accusing and slandering Lena.I could not be bothered about her expression, her feelings, or what is running through her thoughts as I left their presence and headed towards the throne room.The throne room was so lonely and silent, there was no sound of birds chirping in the end or the sound of rats having their meeting and deciding on their next line of action. I had a sullen countenance because centuries ago, the throne had the compa
****************Claire's povDifferent thoughts ran through my head as I needed to achieve my mission fast, I knew that in order for me to achieve such a mission, I needed to get close to Adrian first.I came out of my chambers as I saw Adrian coming out of his chambers with his poker face on, I knew that going close to meet him right now was bad news because I had already received threats from him and I did not want to die.I was disturbed as I racked my brain in order to come up with a perfect solution for my predicament, on knowing that I did not know what to do, I headed towards my father's chambers because I needed advice on my current predicament.The few days I have spent with my father turned out to be the best day of my life, I'm wondering right now why I made the statement that my father was a cold hearted beast who only knew how to take care of himself.Turns out that it was part of the exterior also, according to him, wolves are not to be trusted as they can break one's
*********************Claire's povI knew that the one in which he took me to the market was just a tip of the iceberg, I was determined to make this relationship work, although Lena was still in the palace, I did not care because her time is almost up.This time, I was ready to become a studious person in order to get closer to Adrian, Adrian is a bookworm who has known diverse information from time immemorial up to this present day while I am clueless on any event that's going on.I went into the library as I was determined to know the history of the werewolf pack, entering into the library, I went to the history section in the library, the first thing that discouraged me was that the books there were so big and enormous.I pondered on how I was going to start reading the books, and it was not only one in which I was meant to read. I was meant to read close to three books, although I was discouraged I decided not to give up on my mission as I took one of the books home, I saw my fa
************************Claire's povI was walking with Adrian as I smiled to myself, the plan to take down Lena was in its completion stage, although Lena's spot had not been taken away from Adrian's heart, I knew that sooner or later, everything would fall into the right places.We came back into the palace and Adrian moved straight into his chambers, obviously he went to see Lena and how she was faring, I was boiling inside but I just had to compose myself as I entered into my chambers.I went to the place where I had hidden the information I got about Lena as I started to jot down things although her slate was clean, the only thing that I could use to push her out of the way was the fact that she came from the enemy's pack.I hid the book as I went out of my chambers, I needed to ask my father something real quick as I came out to see the bundle of affection that almost made me blind.Only the moon goddess knows how deep the hurt and pain in my heart is, and how badly I want to d
**************************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
