Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Adrian’s POV

I noticed something odd in the way Lena was sounding now; she sounded like someone who had renewed hope, someone who now had a reason to live and fight.

The Lena I used to know was very timid, never looked me eyeball to eyeball, she never even looked anyone eyeball to eyeball, even the maids.

This is a new Lena I see, and it worries me; I couldn’t help but think that maybe she already got information from her pack that they would be coming soon to save her.

But how did she communicate with them? There’s no means of communication here, and even if a letter was sent, there’s no way It would have entered my Palace without my knowledge.

“Stop being paranoid,” Ian said

“Paranoid? Oh no, I am far from that, and because of who… Lena? Oh definitely not”

“Then why are you overthinking the situation?” Ian asked

“I am the alpha of this pack I have to overthink things sometimes just to make sure my pack is safe.”

“Are you sure that’s the reason?” Ethan asked his voice sounding like he was trying to make jest of me

“Enough of the incessant questions, you fool”, I shouted.

“Well, I am you, and you are me, so we are both fools”, Ian said, laughing hysterically.

“QUIET!!!!” I shouted angrily. The whole room shook.

“Arguing with your alter ego?” Lena asked.

Throughout the period, we were good with each other. Lena had never spoken to me in this way before; it was surprising, but in a way, it felt good to see her talk to me in this manner.

I shouldn’t be feeling the way I am feeling now, but I couldn’t help it.

“Wow you still like her” Ian said

I paid no attention to him.

“Seems you’ve had a lot of talks with your alter ego lately?” I asked Lena

“Who doesn’t talk to their alter ego?, besides it’s not like I have someone in this cell to chat with,” she said

Gosh, she looked so hot talking to me in that way; I wished she wasn’t a spy so badly.

“So tell me what have you been discussing with your alter ego?” I asked

“Well, nothing much, just been talking about how I am going to die, hoping that the death won’t be painful.” She said

She is an omega wolf, the weakest of all kinds of wolves; I don’t think she even knows how to call out her wolf, not to talk of having a proper discussion with her. I felt like she was lying, trying to sweet-talk her way into my heart.

Probably because she feels I am attracted to Claire because of how bold and outspoken she is, she doesn’t know that Claire was just a sex doll to me.

“Tell me, what are you arguing about with your alter ego, the argument must be a serious one as you let out a big shout back there,” She asked

“We have been discussing how we were gonna destroy you and your pack” I lied

“Oh, it didn’t seem like you were discussing something like that, but not to worry, you don’t have to worry about my pack; they don’t even know I am here; I don’t even belong to a pack; I am a lone wolf.” She said.

“Do you think I am going to believe that rubbish coming from your mouth, tell me whose pack you are from now or die here with your baby?” I said in a loud voice

She laughed so loud that I wondered if I sounded funny or if I said anything that warranted her laughter.

“You are funny, Adrian. We both know how important this child is to you, and you wouldn’t want any harm to come upon the baby. Is that not why your sex doll is looking for ways to kill me without harming the baby”.

‘Sex doll?’ I said to myself

“I might be quiet, but one thing I am not is that I am not stupid Adrian” “I knew you had sex with her even before you found out that I was a spy”

‘Did you just agree to be a spy?’ I asked

“What difference does it make? I told you I wasn’t, and you didn’t believe me. It’s not like you are going to let me go.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“What game is she trying to play?” Ian asked

I ignored his questions; I went close to her holding cell, and she didn’t even bat an eyelash. I knew there was something wrong; something had happened to Lena. She wasn’t the scared, timid Lena she used to be.

I strangled her, but she didn’t even flinch; she just stood there. The only thing she said was…

“Kill me, and you kill our child”

I tried releasing her, but I couldn’t. I wasn’t in control anymore; Ian had taken over, and my eyes were red.

“Ian please stop it, you can’t kill her” I begged

“She’s testing our patience Adrian, we are better off with her dead” Ian said

“No Ian, she’s carrying a potential heir, that’s probably my only bloodline, I can’t take chances” I replied to Ian

But he wasn’t listening; I began to try to take control of my body little by little; I started taking control of his fingers one by one, releasing his grip on Lena’s neck until I was in total control again.

I immediately loosened my grip, making Lena land on the floor; she was coughing so hard, and strangely, she started laughing. I couldn’t understand why; for someone who almost died, that was a lot of laughter.

“For a moment I thought I was gonna die,” She said still laughing

“So why did you stop? You didn’t have the balls to go on with it? Or you couldn’t just bring yourself to end the life of the only possible heir you would ever get.”

“QUIET Lena,” I said, Ian was getting pissed at this point”

“Oh no Adrian I won’t be quiet, I have been quiet my whole life and I am tired now,” she said

“Leeeenaaaaaa!!!!!!” I shouted her name using my hands to hit the floor of the execution room just so I could calm Ian down. The floor broke open and then I left to my chambers.

“Someone find me Claire, now” I shouted.
