Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Ethan’s pov

“I do not know what’s wrong with these people, Can’t they do things right?? What the hell is wrong with these people?” I heard a familiar voice and I slumped on my chair, I was already tired of hearing the voice every time.

I sighed as I pondered if marrying Lauren was the right thing to do. I realized that what she portrayed herself to me was not what she actually is.

At first glance, I thought she was an innocent soul who had empathy for the wolves and could be a great Luna. I thought she had wisdom on how to rule the people because according to her, she had been attending etiquette training.

During such training, they are being taught on how to be responsible and dutiful to the kingdom and loved ones. I was known to be one who had not given a worthless and risky decision ever since I ascended the throne.

I thought that I had made the right decision of my life not knowing that my decision would lead me into the abyss of hell. I overlooked the statement and continued reading the book, the next moment, I saw that the book was taken away from me.

I was boiling with anger and I looked at the one who had taken the book away from me, I looked up and realized that it was Lauren who had taken away the book from me.

“What do you want?” I asked her.

She sat on the table and started crying, it was before that I was moved by her tears, right now I’m not moved by her tears and I looked at her with my poker face on.

“You do not have time for me” she began.

I was wondering what she was talking about, it baffles me on the statement that she had made, a how is that even possible? I sacrificed my time to be with her and attend to her needs, so how do I not have time for her.

I was absentminded and I was looking at how her lips were moving but no words were springing forth. I heaved a deep sigh and looking at her countenance, I realized that it had been the worst mistake of my life.

“Are you getting tired of me??” She asked.

“Where do all these questions and talks spring out from?” I pondered. I was already getting tired of her behaviour but I could not throw her out, there were certain rules that were guiding the pack and I could not break any of them.

Her presence irritated and disgusted me, how the hell was I in love with such an annoying being?? She saw that I was mute and she made a fuss about it.

“Cat got your tongue?” She asked

I was controlling my anger as I spoke to her.

“What do you want??” I asked her

“Come and play with me” she said

“I’m busy” I replied back.

Tears fell on her cheeks as I was less concerned in what was happening to her life, the only thing that was on my mind was how to finish the strategy that would be used in the upcoming war.

She left my presence angrily and I was not bothered, I remember the way I treated Lena and I felt bad for it.

FLASHBACK

I had finished hunting in the wild when I came out and met one with tattered clothes looking weak and hungry. She was scattering the floor, obviously looking for a particular thing.

I looked at the floor and I saw that it was a key, I took it and gave it to her, she collected it and bowed her face to the ground, I chuckled, was I that bad that a commoner is seeing me and is bowing down to me at our first meeting.

I did not say a word and she remained in that position, she does not look like one who’s trying to win my favour, time passed yet she remained in that position.

“Rise” I said.

She rose her head up and she had such beautiful eyes.

“What’s your name?” I asked her

“Lena” She answered.

I knew I had offended a commoner when I was angry and pondered if she was the one, she looked at me with such a fearful eyes as I pondered on what could have caused such occurrence.

“Have we met before?” I asked her

She shook her head as I waved it off, looking at her eyes, I knew she was an omega wolf which was considered to be the lowest rank wolf in the whole of history.

It explained the reason for the maltreatment meted out on them.

When I came in contact with the rule concerning the different kind of ranks and their treatment was, I wondered what the author of the book was thinking before he ever published such a book.

This law had been in place for various centuries, different generations has been suffering because of that law.

I wished I could do something but right now I am powerless to do anything.

“I wish to go now” Lena said

I granted her the permission and she moved away from my side hastily. I was pondering on the matter till I got to the palace.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

My father noticed my countenance was down and he asked

“Are you alright?” He asked

I nodded my head and went into the chambers.

The next morning, I walked through that route as I was hoping that I was going to meet Lena. Fortunately, I met her and this time she was in a relaxed mood.

She saw me as surprise was written all over her, she was no longer afraid as we engaged in discussion. She looked at the sky and realized that it was almost dusk before she ran off.

I chuckled at her figure as she ran, she was such an interesting omega wolf.

I looked forward to our meetings in order to get to know her the more.

BACK TO PRESENT

A small smile escaped my lips as I realized that the journey between I and Lena was blissful.
