Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Adrian’s POV

“Someone find me Claire now,” I shouted again

My Beta ran out of my chambers to look for her he came back after a while, alone.

“Where’s Claire?” I asked

“I couldn’t find her in her chambers my lord” he said

“Then search everywhere, till you can find her, and bring her to me as soon as possible, make sure you don’t come back without her or else I will have your head chopped off,” I said angrily

My encounter with Lena a while ago was a terrible one. She seemed to have hope in something. And when there’s hope for someone the person can become very dangerous.

Hope can be a very dangerous thing for a prisoner to have.

“Her pack will probably soon come for her” Ian said

I still couldn’t wrap my head around how she got the message, I began to think of possibilities of another spy planted here in the pack

While I was still lost in thought, my Beta came in

“My lord I couldn’t find Lady Claire,”

“Did you check her father’s?” I asked

“Yes sir I did we couldn’t find her there”

“Did you check all the libraries”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Yes I did she is not in any of them”

“Where could she be right now when I need her attention?”

“Leave my presence,” I said

“Could it be that Lady Claire already abandons you?”

“Oh, you shut your mouth, Ian; Claire can never do that; do you know how long she’s been longing for me.”

“She’s probably tired of you now, don’t forget she stumbled on you and Lena being all chitchaty” Ian said

“Hey, is there even a word like CHICHATY, besides you know it wasn’t like that.”

“Don’t forget you raised your voice at her, while she was questioning you about what you were discussing with Lena” Ian

“Shit, I don’t think she’s gonna be upset because of that”

“Adrian, how many centuries have you been alive and you still can’t understand a woman’s heart.”

“What does understanding a woman’s heart have to do with this situation right now, Ian?”

“It has a lot to do; what if you had pursued away your only chances of saving your baby.”

“That can never happen” I shouted

Just as we were talking, I heard a knock on my door; I sniffed the air just so I could get the smell of the person knocking. The perfume smelt like hers. I immediately ordered her to come inside.

I got a shocker of my life when I saw my Beta not Claire, ‘but I perceived her scent, where could she be’ I looked at his hands and saw the dress she was wearing earlier in the execution room.

I sniffed, and I could perceive blood on it.

“What’s happening” I asked my Beta

“We found Lady Claire’s dress, torn and stained with blood, just in the field not too far from here.” He said

“WHAT!!!, did you see a sign of her body?”

“No, we didn’t see any of those signs”

“Take the best of our men and search every nook and cranny of this town and make sure to find Claire”

“Yes my lord”

“And make sure to end the life of anyone who abducted her if they are still there with her; since we haven’t seen her body, we know that she could still be alive.”

“Yes my lord”

“Don’t come back empty-handed unless you want your heads to be eaten by hungry wolves and vultures”

My Beta left to assemble the best of the best wolves in the pack to go in search of Claire while I sat back, wondering what was going on.

‘Could it be that one of Lena’s old pack members got to her? It’s probably the same person that got to her, and that’s why she’s having newfound hopes, ‘ I pondered.

“Ian!!!!” I called out

I didn’t hear any voice; I called out to him again, but there was no answer, i called and I called, and he answered after like the tenth time of calling.

“Let me be Adrian,” he said

“You can’t abandon me now,” I said

“You wouldn’t let me if I wanted to”

“Claire has been abducted”

“I know, dummy; I am inside you, so I hear everything even if I don’t want to,” Ian said

“So what do we do”

“I will tell you if you allow me to take control” He said

Ian is the big bad wolf in me, the one with a psychotic mind and the killer instinct; I allow him to take full control only when I am fighting battles as he is the stronger one.

He used to be very fond of lena, when he found out that she was our mate. But he developed strong hatred after he heard she a spy.

Giving him full control might be dangerous to the baby in Lena’s stomach as he cares for no one but me.

“Are you giving me full control or not?” his voice came louder from inside.

“Only on one condition?”

“You promise not to harm the baby,” I asked

“Do you give me full control or not Adrian?” He asked firmly

“Yes, I…..”

Before I could finish the sentence he had already taken control.

Yes, the only thing I have to do is to say yes; at the mention of Yes, Ian takes full control.

But this time he was rather in a hurry to take control. He went directly to the execution ground, with our eye colour completely red.

Immediately he rushed to Lena’s cell, broke it open, and lifted her, strangling her.

“What did you do to Claire” Ian asked

“Claire? What do you mean? I haven’t even set my eye on her ever since she came here last.” She said while choking as a result of the strangling

With anger, he threw Lena across the cell; it was a miracle that Lena wasn’t bleeding.

“Ian you are hurting her” I cried out from the inside

But Ian wasn’t listening he went to meet Lena where she was lying on the floor and as he was about to hit her with his legs in her stomach

I began to take back control of my body. I made his leg stop, he was trying hard to release his legs, but I was holding on to it.

Lena stood and ran out.

Ian took complete control again and started to pursue Lena.

All of a sudden Lena disappeared and the next thing I saw was a blackout
