All Chapters of Mate by Fate, Bound by Love: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

***********************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 POVI began by choosing a simple object; I went around the battleground looking for any object that was simple and probably small. Like a small rock, stone or a stick so I could attempt to transform them into a weapon. Lyla kept on giving technical advice, and I walked around to find any object. I finally found a rock and a stick I picked two of them and stood. Lyla began to tell me how to channel my energy into the object while Ethan watched, offering support from where he stood. My first attempt was really shaky and unstable I struggled a lot to adapt to the new skill. It seemed harder than trying to lift object.Did I just say it seemed? It was harder than trying to lift an object. I held the rock I had taken, holding it tightly in my palm."Yes that's good starting with something small is better," like said "Now focus on the energy within you, try to push it from your inside into your physical body then to your arms, and let it flow through to your han

************************Adrian's POV I continued to test the weak point in the wall, carefully applying small pressures at intervals with my fingers while keeping Zane distracted. My heartbeat was sounding louder in my ears. Truth be said, I was afraid; I was quietly praying to the Moon goddess not to be caught. I still tried to keep Zane distracted with my movement controlled. I knew that if I made a sudden shift, it could alert Zane to my plans.'I had to stay focused one wrong move and it's over Zane would notice he thought he had me cornered but I have to use this to my advantage I can't afford to be careless about this' I thought Zane kept pacing around the room, his eyes narrowing as if I sensed something was off, but he still couldn't pinpoint my subtle actions. He tried to reassert his control over me, throwing more taunts and threats my way.Zane hinted at the power of the dark magic laced in the room further heightening the tension "You think you can just sit here there

**************************Adrian's POV I made up my mind to follow the light. Following the light would only make me more exposed to Zane and his minion's hut, but this dark part offers a better cover. Still, I felt like light and darkness couldn't agree as one, so the light has to be a chance to escape.I made up my mind to go towards the light. Feeling that any chance of escape was worth the risk. The feeling of uncertainty weighed on me. I kept going closer; the closer I got, the brighter the light seemed to appear. Another minion came from a corner. This time around, I was so unlucky. The minion happened to just burst out from a corner not too far from me and stood in my front. He appeared to want to put his hands two of his fingers on his head. My brain interpreted the gesture as a gesture of trying to send a psyche signal to tell the rest minions and probably Zane about him finding me and to possibly give them my location. Whichever way it is I couldn't take chances.With t

*************************Zane's POV "I must find you, little wolf I must" I murmured The thought of letting go of this power wasn't sitting well with me I needed Adrian oh no not really I needed his power if not for his power I would have destroyed him long ago I could destroy him with just a flip of my fingers and boom he's gone'Or should I just destroy him' If I wanted to kill him I could kill him right now before he ever finds a way out of this cave. But even if I wanted to kill him, I needed to be sure about his exact location before I could do that. Right now, I don't know about his whereabouts. My minions haven't brought any news of even mere sighting him. If any of them could just come to me and say they had found him, I could use my dark magic to trace where he was and kill him right at the spot.Sending a psyche message would be better; when I was turning my minions into my dark followers, I made it so that I was connected to them and them to me so I could easily dispa
