Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Adrian’s pov

I did not know what Claire was doing, all I knew was that it was having effects on me, ever since Lena came, I abstained myself from her because she was in her pregnancy state as I had read it up that having intercourse with the lady that is pregnant will not make the child to be healthy.

I entered the room as I pondered on what had just happened earlier on, I did not want Claire to think that she had won in this game so I had to leave before she was able to find the amused expression dancing on my face.

I noticed that the lower part of my body had begun raising it’s head as I went to have a cold shower, I knew what was happening, I had starved it for so long.

After a long while, I came out of the bathroom as I was feeling refreshed. Donning on a white robe, I entered my secret chambers as I began to practice.

I did everything that I could in order to forget about the incident that had earlier happened.

I came into the room and I saw my personal guards waiting for me and they relayed a message to me, I left the chambers and I saw that Claire was with her father and the two engaged themselves in intense conversations.

Immediately my presence was felt, everyone was quiet as the whole place which was filled with noise was very quiet.

I was a little bit angry with myself, the wolves in the Council of Elders are afraid of me because of two things – my position and the way I treated my enemies.

I knew that a great position came with a great responsibility but I never knew that it was going to be this lonely at the top.

I was not able to take any beta after mine died because I will not be able to establish the closeness I had with my former beta as everyone is looking at me with the eyes of a ruler and a beast.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I received the news that a new pack was trying to wage war with us, I grew tired listening to all these news. The war never ceased, the war never ends.

I got the information on how the pack looked and I shook my head, it would have been better for the pack to develop on their own, I got angry when I found out that we were the first on their list.

It would have been better if they had not involved us, they are going to see their end before they began to develop.

I laid out the map on the table which was beside me and commanded the troupe on how they were going to be formed, they had a huge terrain so I am going to use the terrain for my advantage.

After I commanded them, we headed out to the new pack, the soldiers were positioned at different angles, I am the commander – in- chief while Claire’s father was the one assisting me.

The cold exterior which he has had been ingrained in his bones as he had spent all his time fighting wars and battles. I am a lone wolf, so I was walking in the front while they were following me in the back.

We got to the pack as we started destroying from the beginning to the end, I listened to the cries of the wolves but it did nothing to reduce the killing spree in which I had done.

In less than two hours we razed the place to the ground. I got to the chambers with the Council of Elders following suit, everyone dispersed into their location as I went deep into the palace.

I entered the throne room as I realized that there was still enough for me to document, I was already on it when Claire entered the chambers and she came to sit down beside me.

I was no longer disgusted by her presence as I was getting comfortable with her presence. The throne room had one more person to accommodate although no one was willing to bring forth any discussion.

She was also glancing through the document but she had a confused expression on her face, I held back the chuckle which was about to escape my lips.

She looked at me with a confused and amused expression, but was amazed when she came in contact with my poker face.

I remembered what had happened and I gulped down my saliva. The throne room which was cold was becoming too hot, I did not want to have anything to do with Claire knowing fully well that I have a pregnant mate at home.

I went into my chambers as I realized that Lena was in pain, I took her to the pack hospital and instructed the pack doctor to take care of her, I realized that I had started falling for Claire, the one who I first despised.

Apart from Claire’s attitude which can be a little bit overbearing, she is good in other aspects, she had been trained on how to be a Luna and was given every sort of etiquette training.

She was also endowed with beauty and she knows how to carry herself high, my wolf had been starved for too long and it needed its mate to have intercourse with.

Today was not a good day because at this period I’m usually on my heat and right now I need someone to calm me down. I entered the throne room and I was sweating really bad.

During this period, I abstained from the opposite sex because I knew that any small touch, my body reacts to it on time.

“Are you alright??” Claire asked

I nodded my head as I began to sign the document, because I had been starved for too long I began to feel pains, Claire came to hold me, my body jolted for a moment before I said in a hoarse voice

“Let me be”

She let go of me as I was about to leave the throne room when she said a word that made me pause on my tracks

“I love you”

I nodded my head and left the throne, heading towards the chambers, I went to take a cold shower, tonight will be a long night.
