Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Breaking limits
***************************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The Edge of Control
****************************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
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love A light in the dark
***************************Lena's POVEthan asked about the dangers; I knew if I told him about the dangers of tapping from my anger if I ended up tapping from the wrong kind of anger, it was me allowing darkness into myself; he was going to stop me from doing it.I couldn't afford to make him stop me from doing this; I needed to try this, so I lied."There are no dangers, only that I might just get weaker for some minutes or hours depending on the level I tapped into." I had to tell him this. I couldn't make the mistake of saying there would be no consequences at all; he would not believe me. Besides, we all know anger is not a good thing. Using it as fuel to harness my powers could be very dangerous. But I was ready to risk it. "Are you sure about this?" he asked looking worried "Yes, I am very sure", I replied.Inside me, I could hear Lyla scream and shout at the top of her voice, warning me not to try what I was about to do, that it could just be the end of all good things. It
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Shadows of Doubt
*************************Lena's POVI couldn't shake the image of the pitch-black void I saw. It felt like the end like I could be swallowed up by it and never come back to life. I felt like I could be lost there for eternity, and no one would be able to bring me out from there. The thought of it haunted me. 'What if I tried again and I couldn't stop? what if Ethan wasn't there to pull me out?' This thought kept racing through my mind and head. Could I wonder if I could trust myself with these powers? If it meant I had to walk through the thin line between light and darkness.Every moment I hesitated, Zane was getting stronger, and Adrian drifted further away. I could not afford to waste time on silly doubts. But I was scared, especially with this recent encounter in the pitch-black void. Remembering it again sent a shiver down my spine. I wonder if there was a way I could channel my powers without having to lose myself, I needed to find it. I needed to act fast, failure wasn't an
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The power of protection
************************Lena's POVAfter a long silence, staring into each other eyes, rubbing hands together I spoke up in a more steady tone now."We need a plan, a new strategy," I said "Now I have realised that tapping into anger is too dangerous. There has to be a better way maybe I could focus on protection instead, I remember when trying to heal your sister I felt so powerful because what I had in mind was the Need to save her and then I was able to save her, the same thing happened with the witch, Joey" I paused to see if I would get a reaction from but I didn't get any I continued "Maybe if I tried harnessing my power by focusing on the need to save and to protect I could be able to do something huge with it"I could feel Lyla trying to say something to me, but I wasn't giving her the chance. I was still very angry at her. Coupled with the so many ideologies I had in my head about her. I didn't want to talk to her, at least not now."What's Lyla saying about it" Ethan asked
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love A light in the darkness
************************Adrian's POV I woke up to suffocating darkness; I was lying on a cold, hard surface, my body still aching from the silver sword's burn. My mind was foggy; I couldn't think straight, but I could sense that something had changed. The physical pain was so much unbearable, but the quietness was so much unsettling it was worse. Where was I? I was no longer in the room with Zane, everything felt so wrong. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't; the pain and the burn were so great that It was making me feel dizzy. Panic set in when I tried to move again and my limbs seemed to be frozen. It seemed not to be physically bound but mentally paralysed as if Zane's dark magic was tightening its grip, consuming the whole of me. My thoughts became sluggish invaded by something cold, ominous and sinister. I tried to fight back, but every attempt I made to fight back was fruitless. All my attempts were met with suffocating pressure. Zane was trying to break me from the inside
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Dark intentions
****************************Zane’s POVI stood in my lair, looking into the dark magic mirror I had displaying Adrian's inner torment. At first, it was entertaining and amusing watching the little wolf groan in agony, struggling and fighting to free himself from the chains of the dark magic that's been eating deep into his body. As the minutes stretched on my amusement began to turn sour. He was fighting back harder than I had expected, no one had ever been able to fight back my inner torment strategy before. I was pissed off by this but it also made me grow more interested in the little wolf. "This should not be happening", I muttered to myself; I began to pace around the length of the dark chamber; every single soul I had touched got broken. None ever took this long to submit. They all snapped under the weight of my power; their minds bent to my will easily. The little wolf was certainly different from the others; it was infuriating; I was seriously angered by this; how could th
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Spark of resistance
**********************Adrian's POV My body was weak, but my senses became sharper as I found my way out of the pitch-dark void I was in earlier, the place where my mind was being tormented by the face of my child and Lena. I began to feel pain all over. Every single time I tried to move my body, my muscles felt stiff, and the bite of the dark magic was still lingering, hovering around me. The only thing I could think of right now was to find a way to survive, but the thoughts were soon discarded as I remembered that my survival only gave way to the dark magic in me taking control of my body. I was glad to feel pain because it was a sign that I was still alive, not yet lost to the darkness within. I tried to sit up, but each movement I made sent fresh waves of pain through my body. I could feel the after-effect of Zane's magic still burning through my veins.I began to reflect on how Zane's control operated; I had never seen anything like it in my whole life as an alpha wolf; yes I

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.
