Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Adrian’s pov

I woke up and realized that there was a bandage on my stomach, it feels vague as I was trying to remember what had really happened. The last thing I remembered was that we were in a battle field and we were losing the war.

I noticed that my chambers was very quiet, I smirked as I remembered telling them that I do not want to be disturbed. I wore a white free shirt on a black trousers as I stepped out of the room.

I was met with different expressions on the face of my guards as I wondered what situation warranted such expression. It’s not like I was feeling pains or dizzy in any way.

Right from when I was young I grew up with the mentality that responsibility to the people come first, in sickness and in health.

I could not be bothered by the expression on their faces as I entered into the palace where the Council of Elders were.

The gloom on their faces as they were discussing certain solutions in order to avert the incoming danger, the was silence in the hall as I stood where I was glancing through the Elders as they expressed their suggestions. I was unnoticed.

I stood there with a smirk on my face as I realized that most of the Council of Elders were genuinely concern about my well-being

“I wish the ruling Alpha was here, he would have come up with strategies that would help us win this war”, one of the Council of Elders said

I burst out laughing, the once quiet palace was filled with my laughter which made the Council of Elders turned towards my direction, they had the relieved expression when they realized that I was the one who was in there.

They stood up in unison and bowed towards me, their expression had a hint of concern, I sat down on the throne as everyone sat down.

Their serious faces made me chuckle for a moment, no one put up a question gaze as everyone is afraid of the terror I can unleash.

“What’s wrong with the plan?” I asked one of the Council of Elders who was one of the core strategist in the pack. He stood up and was shivering as he laid down the plan before me and he began to explain on how it’s works.

I rapidly paid attention, to whatever he was saying before I experience a sharp pain in my stomach region, I used my hand to hold that particular part as the strategist had finished what he was saying

“Look into it and give me feedback” I said to one of the Council of Elders, they nodded their head as the meeting had closed, blood was gushing out of the wound but I did not yield to it

I was already becoming too weak as my eyes were getting too heavy, I knew that the Council of Elders were saying things but I did not know what they were saying, after a while, my vision grew blank.

I woke up on the bed to behold curious and anxious eyes looking at me, it was Claire, she held me as the pack doctor attended to me, seeing the concern in her eyes, I held back the laughter that threatened to come out of my lips.

I heard the pack doctor saying these words

“He needs to rest for the meantime, I’ll come and check up on him everyday” He said.

Claire nodded her head as she stared at me, The pack doctor injected me with a weird thing so I fell asleep immediately.

I woke up and I saw a basket of fruit in my front, I was so hungry as I began to munch the fruit one after the other, Claire folded her arms and her gaze was fixed on me as I happily munch the fruit.

“Want some” I asked her

She nodded her head as a small smile was plastered on her lips, I was wondering what could cause the smile.

She bowed before me and left the room.

My eyes twinkled for a second, I knew that she loves and admires me. She’s using her care in order to prove to me that she loves me, well…. I can’t say for sure if her charm is really working.

I remembered Lena and I began to feel irritated and disgusted, I wave the thought aside as I thought about my new found crush, Claire.

I knew that she had information about Lena and I was willing to gain access to such information. She has feelings for me, I’ll use the feelings in gsing information, all is fair in love and war.

I had a personal library in my chambers, getting to the library, I brought out a book and began to read. Time flew fast, a knock on the door jolted me out to reality as I was ready to criticize such person that had the effontery to disturb me.

“Come in” I said.

Claire entered the room as she bowed her head. I look at her for a second as I stood up and went towards her direction, I hugged her.

“Thanks a lot” I said

There was this blissful expression on her face as she used her eyes in scanning my body, realizing that I was okay, she helped me as we sat down on the bed.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

There was this look of affection in her eyes whenever she looked at me and it was beginning to freak me out, I appreciated her out of gratitude not really because I had developed affection towards her.

Lena’s case awoken me up from my reverie, I do not trust anyone as I knew that in a split second a close ally could be a powerful enemy. I became cautious of the actions and decisions that I am making.

My eyelids were closing as I pondered on this strange phenomenon, with a confused look on my face, I succumbed to sleep.
