Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

***********

Claire’s pov

I wondered how to the relationship between I and Adrian had dwindled over the few months that Lena came. Although Adrian does not like me, there was this concern look in his eyes when he talks to me.

Right now, Adrian practically hates me. I don’t know what I had done or who I have offended in my previous life that made Adrian hates me the way he did.

He was coming out of the chambers and he hugged Lena around her waist. This display of affection was beginning to get me irritated and more disgusted by the presence of Lena.

Every thing in me wanted the destruction and her downfall.

I was already boiling with anger, the way I could unleash my anger at that particular moment was destroying a particular thing.

I knew this was the perfect time to go for a hunt, I went for the hunt and unleashed my anger on those innocent animals.

Coming back to the palace, I realized that Adrian was alone and Lena was not with him. This was such a perfect opportunity for me to get closer to him.

The only thing which was a source of concern to me was that Adrian was reading and going to disturb him at the point when he was reading was awaking the sleeping beast in him.

The consequences of disturbing him while he was reading was instant death and I loved my life. I cannot die, when I have not yet accomplished my mission.

I sat down and waited for him to finish reading, although that can be a long one, after two hours, I saw that he had no intention of finishing the book he had in his hands, I left the palace and strolled round the pack.

Although I was met with all sorts of gazes when I was walking by the market which was at the outskirts of the pack, I was not afraid by them.

The cook breeze of the evening wafted through me and I knew, I made the right decision of coming outside the palace.

I entered the chambers and realized that Adrian was still reading, I noticed that his personal guards were already sweating. Only the moon goddess knows the scorching heat the are passing through as a result of staying close to him.

I entered the chambers as I went to carry the research I made concerning Lena and continued reading. The show of love and affection, sooner or later it will be over.

After a few hours, I came out of my chambers to behold Adrian closing the book, I looked at his personal guards faces as I could see that a relief expression was seen at their faces.

This was a perfect opportunity to strike, so I went towards him and bowed my head.

“Good day my Lord ” I greeted him

He looked at me nonchalantly, after a few minutes, he said a word

“Rise”

I rose my head up and was concerned about the nonchalant look which was on his face, this made him impossible to read and one cannot guess his next move from his facial expression.

I knew I had to play my cards well, any wrong move can lead to a definite end – death.

“If you could grant me the permission of walking with you my Lord” I said.

He was mute for sometime, I quietly awaited his response. I was about to leave his presence when he replied.

“Sure”

Then he added a statement.

“Do not get too attached to me, I don’t want my mate to see and begins to have double thoughts”

He walked at the front while his personal guards and I walked at his back. The first mission was accomplished.

We walked outside the chambers, and I realized bwe we’re going towards the direction of the field, great, can this day get any worse.

The walk from the chambers to the garden was filled with peace and tranquility. No one initiated a conversation and I did not want to do so. It was no news that Adrian loved quietness.

No one has dared his order before because we knew the consequences of such actions. Fear and dread came upon all men whenever they heard his name.

I was already getting tired of the boring walk, I brought out a book and was scanning through it. Although I was not a scholar, I was a book lover on historical fiction.

I began to read the book and I got so immersed in it, the one thing I know about myself is that despite the immersion I am in a particular thing I had the ability to focus on another thing entirely.

We reached the garden as Adrian looked at me and said

“Follow me”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

He entered into the garden after he had made such words.

His personal guards stood at the entrance of the garden while I followed him and entered into the garden, I knew another mission was accomplished but I was not prepared for this one.

Different thoughts ran through my head, it was already becoming too much that I heard a grunt in my head, without needing to tell the tale, I knew it was my wolf who made that grunt in my head.

I got to his position as I had met him sitting down, by my calculations, I was twenty minutes late. I knelt down as his face sized me up, his expression unreadable.

“Lady, state your mission” He said.

“I miss you” I blurted out.

I knew the statement could kill me but right now I don’t care, I had missed him, his touch, his words of concern, everything about him.

“Are you willing to die, I could grant your wish” He said.

I stood tranfixed at the spot, danger was emanating from him, he stood up ready to go when I suddenly said

“What if your mate is not who you think she is??” I said.

He stopped and looked at me, his eyes were changing colours

“Don’t play games with me, I can accept anything but do not accuse my mate like that” He said, he was about leaving the garden when he stopped and looked at me

“The next time, you suddenly mention this, you won’t live to tell the tale ”

He left after saying the word.

This really made me to know that Adrian had developed feelings for Lena, I smirked, their happy relationship won’t last long, not when I am alive.
