*****************************Lena's POV Joey had told us that we had to act fast if we wanted to save Adrian, as the darkness in him could already have eaten his soul. Knowing Adrian for a little while, he was good to me. I knew he wouldn't allow himself to become anyone's puppet or slave. He wouldn't stoop so low to do what a power-hungry sorcerer would want."You need to get your healing hands on him as soon as possible" Joey had said She said it with all urgency like it was getting too late"We can't allow Zane to own Adrian, Adrian is a very strong wolf, even though j can sense that his big bad wolf had Been eaten up by the darkness, even without it Adrian is strong, he has a strong will and that's why he was approached by Zane," Joey said "Zane knew that making Adrian one of his rogue-controlled wolves would give him the upper hand, and if dark magic mixed with someone as strong-willed as Adrian, Adrian would become unstoppable, and then Adrian would no longer have a will of
*********************************Lena's POV Yes, she had done it before, but we couldn't bank on it; we couldn't put our hundred per cent on it as it would take time too.I kept on trying and trying until midnight when I got so frustrated. Ethan watched me with keen eyes, cheering me up from where he sat, looking at me, watching me as I failed at every attempt I made to raise the spoon. Ethan came to me with water and food as I had refused to eat anything, and I was angry about the fact that I hadn't been able to lift the spoon. I still refused to eat but Ethan kept urging and begging me "Please you need to eat something, you can't do this to yourself and besides the baby neneedsood, do you want to starve your baby to death," he said "At least if you want to starve yourself to death I don't mind but I won't like you starving my baby to death" he teased "Can't we just let Lyla take over my body just so we could go save Adrian, this is taking forever " I pleaded "I am sorry, Len
********************************Adrian's POV 'Fuck it' I cursed in my head This dark figure had caught on to my plans; I wanted to just end my life with the silver sword I had seen on the floor; since it was silver, I would die faster if I used it to pierce my heart directly. Do not even dare to call me a coward because what would you expect me to do? Stay until I am taken over by dark magic, when I no longer have a will of my own and when I become a danger to Lena and my child.Thinking about it was more painful alone than actually doing it. Though this ominous figure had said that I wouldn't know what I was doing, it will forever be in Lèna's memory that the man who had killed her was the father of her child. If there was to be a time that the black magic would wear off and then I might remember the things that I had done I wouldn't be able to forgive myself forever. "What are you trying to do little wolf," he said "Do not call me little wolf?", I said while still struggling
******************Adrian's POV I could feel that I was slowly losing control as the dark magic invaded my mind wrapping around my thoughts like a poisonous vine I could feel his gaze on me but I couldn't see his face he seemed to be watching me from somewhere but I didn't know how he was doing it, it was probably because he was using dark magic to look at me from wherever he wasHe probably had a mirror where he was watching me, and every time I moved, because he moved the sword far away from where it was. I was getting frustrated at this point I tried to push through getting pain my eyes still fixed on the new direction where the sword had moved to Thanks to the goddess it wasn't far from me.His voice began to shift, suspicion began to creep in as he asked me "Why so many questions, little wolf? You sound far too interested in my tale", I stiffened, forcing a strained chuckle."I was only trying to understand the monster I am facing" I replied I was getting closer to the blade,
**********************************Ethan's POV At last, she was able to lift the spoon, but she couldn't move it from where it was to another direction. I sat a few steps away from where Lena was trying to lift the spoon trying not to look too worried, but I couldn’t help it. Every time she failed to move the spoon, she became more frustrated. I could feel the weight of her emotions, and it tore at him. She was pushing herself too hard, but how could I tell her to slow down when Adrian’s life was hanging in the balance?As Lena fought with the spoon, I tried to clench my fist. I wanted to step in, to do something, anything, but I knew this was something only she could do. It wasn’t just about moving a spoon—it was about mastering her powers, finding control. I hated this feeling the feeling of uselessness, sitting on the sidelines while she struggled. My mind wandered to Adrian, hoping against hope that he was hanging on, just as Lena was.You might be wondering why I was hoping he
********************************Ethan's POVI continued to watch as Lena kept on mastering the spoon movement, and a feeling of great relief washed over me I was so happy, that I moved closer to where she was standing, admiring her perseverance and determination, but I still couldn't push away the fact that Lena had probably just lied to me about who she concentrated on. I had to wash off the thoughts from my mind as it wasn't what was important right now; deep inside, I knew that Lena was yet to attain the amount of control to be able to face Zane, fear pricking me in the heart. The task before us wasn't just about moving spoons, but it was a battle of control, for life and the future."It's high time you have to try something bigger Lena" I said "Oh yeah, you are right; this is merely just a spoon. Even a baby witch can do this,", she said, disappointment in her eyes. "Hey baby, you don't have to be so hard on yourself, every great sorcerer today went through this present stage
***************************Ethan's POV I watched as Lena, with newfound resolve and strength, set her sights on lifting something heavier than the chairs. I could feel the shift in her energy, a fresh, raw determination to push herself further. I stepped back, giving her more space, but I still couldn't push aside my worries. The weight of what was ahead was immense, and I knew she might just be pushing herself to dangerous limits if she over-pushed.In a way, I was glad that she had a more determined resolve; I could see hope rekindled in her eyes, and it made me wonder what the thing she thought of that rekindled such hope. Lena begins to focus more intensely. She takes a deep breath, her hand hands extended toward the chair. I observed her closely, trying not to let my nerves show. As I was nervous and anxious. I had to be because she didn't even decide to lift a plate or a plot the next closest thing to the weight of a spoon. She decided to move straight to the castle chair
****************************Lena's POV I could feel that Ethan was looking at me intensely, all his gaze on me like he was scared that something might happen to me, and he didn't want to let me out of his sight. I focused my mind on the chair. It wasn't easy; it was a tough struggle for me, more than I wanted to admit. Each time I tried and failed, the frustration got closer to the surface, threatening to spill over, to completely take over my resolve, but I wasn't about to give up on trying and pushing harder. I had to do a lot more if I needed to even have a chance with Zane. He was out there, Adrian was suffering, and I was stuck, fumbling with chairs. I could hear Lyla's voice humming in the back of my mind.Her reluctance to fully intervene was strong, it was a struggle, a battle and a burden for me.The chair shook and wobbled; it tilted front and back, finally lifting off the ground before crashing down with a loud resounding thud; for a moment, I thought it was gonna cause
**************************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
