Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Adrien’s pov

I really can’t wait to introduce her to the pack, although I’m the Alpha of the pack, I am bound by rules that I ought to follow.

To the neighbouring packs, I am a bloodthirsty demon who has no empathy for anyone who threaded my path, I am the only person who knows how deep the pains and anguish which laid in my heart.

Emotions could be a weakness to any leader or ruler so I learnt to kill my emotions at a very tender age.

I went to the room where she stayed and saw that she had fainted, I was angry and told the pack doctor to attend to her case, considering the fact that she was pregnant and such things were not necessary for her condition.

She woke up and I looked at her feeling very concerned.

“Are you alright??” I asked her as she looked at me, she was relieved to see me although she was very scared.

I saw her place her hand on her stomach as she sighed, I looked at her as I pondered on who would have caused such commotion on her arrival. She looked like a mother who was protecting her kid.

I looked at the pack doctor and noticed that he was shivering

” was I that wicked??” I thought to myself.

“Make sure she’s safe and healthy” I said

The pack doctor gulped down saliva and replied

“Yes, my Lord”. He said

I left the pack hospital as I went back to the chambers to think about the current situation, from my side eye, I saw my “mate” coming with all manner of maids as she walked towards my direction.

I looked at her with disgust as every thing in me was irritated by her presence. She touched me before she sat down.

My skin crawls at her touch, I was trying not to show it out. She sat down beside me and was trying to intiate a conversation with me, but I was not ready to listen to her.

She saw that my expression was not right as she was trying to figure out what was wrong with me.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Are you okay?” She asked

Only the moon goddess knows how much I detested this lady in front of me, she was “betrothed” to me.

She’s very clingy, and she gets jealous whenever she sees any lady being close to me, even the maids stands afar off whenever we are discussing, in this age and century who does that??

She was graced with my silence as she was pondering on what had gone wrong, although I detested her, I tried to mingle with her because she was daddy’s little princess.

The atmosphere between us was getting awkward as I brought out a book to begin reading, she was playing with her fingernails as her countenance was very down.

She had been receiving attention from when she was quite younger as everything was at her beck and call, she had the mentality that everyone should be able to answer her call when necessary.

The awkward silence which ensured between us was broken by the sound of a ringtone, I noticed that it was coming from my angle.

I answered the call and the news that I heard brought smiles on my face, I left her presence without bothering to know how she was feeling as I headed towards the pack hospital.

Arriving at the pack hospital I noticed that the lady was already healthy as she looked at me with her big brown eyes, the emotions which had been dead in me begun to spring forth.

I mind linked the pack as I gave an order that I needed to see the whole pack, that there was an important announcement that I needed to make.

“What’s your name young lad??” I asked her.

“Lena”. She replied

I helped her stand in her feet as I led her towards the pack house.

I got to the pack house as the pack house was full of wolves of different ranks – Alphas, Betas, Omegas.

I cleared my throat as I began my speech.

“I have found my mate ” I said

The statement in which I made caused several expressions of their faces – confusion, excitement, mockery.

I could not be bothered on what was going on at that particular time as I dropped another one

“She’s pregnant with my heir, she’s the chosen one” I said.

The pack house which was as silent as anything turned out to be noisy as at the time I mentioned it, curious eyes were looking at me as I could read on the wolves faces that they needed to know who the lucky one was.

“Lena step forward,” I said

From the multitude, Lena stepped forward, the curiosity died down as look of disgust could be seen on their faces when they discovered that she was an Omega.

Different expressions ran through different people as hostile gazes were thrown at her, she was shivering at the gazes that was thrown at her, it was when I went beside her that she was able to recover her stamina.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Claire smirk. I knew of a certainty that she was up to no good. Her father who holds the highest position in the werewolf council looked at me and I knew I was done for.

They threw her stones, she closed her eyes expecting the outcome but realized that nothing was been thrown at her, opening her eyes she met me shielding her with my body as all the stones landed on me.

She was shocked, she looked at me with concern, I chuckled saying

“I’m alright”

They stopped throwing stones as many were afraid of what I could do to them, they began to leave the pack house one after the other. I hugged Lena as I moved with her out of the pack house.

Looking behind, I saw my “mate” angry and clenching her fist. I was relieved by her display as I guided Lena into the chambers.
