Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Adrian’s POV

‘Could it be that she approached me knowing who I was just so she could eventually infiltrate my pack’ I couldn’t help but keep thinking

‘How long had she been making this plan, who exactly is she working with.’ I was lost in thoughts

“How long have you been planning this and who are you working with I asked.

She looked at me like she was confused as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.

“I still don’t know why you all still think I am a spy, and to think I am working with someone, that’s just so absurd”

“If I was a spy then why is my pack not coming to find me after not hearing from me for some days, and do you think I would allow myself to get pregnant for an enemy” she said

“It could be the strategy you and your pack decided on,” I said

Deep down, I knew she was right; if she was a spy, they would have come to get her because it’s been long since they imprisoned her.

I couldn’t risk believing her because she didn’t tell me from the unset that she was from the enemy pack I hated the most.

“Well, you are not being locked up because you are a spy, but you are locked up because you stole a beta’s jewellery; this offence is punishable by death. That’s the reason why you are here” I said

“Steal!!! I don’t even know my way to Claire’s chamber, so how would I steal jewellery from her.”

“I hardly know anywhere in this Palace, apart from the library and, of course, your chambers. I know no other place.” She continued

A part of me wanted to believe her, but I couldn’t. Just as I was trying to reason what she had just spat out, Claire came into the execution room.

“Babe, what are you doing here? What kinda of discussion are you having with her, this thief,” Claire said angrily.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“How dare you question me?” I said angrily and stepped out of the room, leaving Lena and Claire.

I wasn’t really okay leaving Lena with Claire, but I had to leave them so as not to create suspicion.

I knew Claire was a crazy individual, and she could just decide to just kill Lena right there on the spot. But I was banking on the fact that Claire now knows how important this child is to me.

I stood by the door of the execution room and started to use my wolf sense of hearing to eavesdrop on what they were talking about in the room.

“What were you talking about with Adrian, you lying omega bitch? “Claire said.

I couldn’t hear anything from Lena. I thought it was my hearing that was not heightened; I tapped more into my wolf hearing ability to know if she was probably talking to low.

I still couldn’t hear anything, and for a moment, I was worried; I was about to reopen the door when I heard the sound of someone being strangled.

It was Lena’s voice; I felt relieved for a moment. I placed my ear close to the door again, eavesdropping on the conversation.

Lena still didn’t say a word after being strangled.

“Oh, now you are deaf and dumb, right? Maybe I should just kill you and your baby right here,” Claire said

“Please just let me have this baby,” lena begged

“After giving birth to this child, you can do to me whatever you deem fit.” She continued.

I could hear the sincerity In her voice; this made me doubt for a moment if she was a spy. But I pushed the thought out of my mind; I don’t have the luxury to start imagining things right now.

“Oh, don’t you worry, your baby is gonna be saved? The only thing is that you won’t be able to deliver this child.” Claire said laughing hysterically.

“How do you mean I can’t give birth to this child when I am not alive,” Lena said. I could hear the confusion in her voice.

“Oh darling, the child will survive you just won’t be the one giving birth to it,” Claire answered.

“What do you mean by that, I won’t be able to give birth to my child, myself” Lena begged

“Do you know who a black witch is?” Claire asked

“I can’t say I know about that, but how has that got to do with me?” Lena asked. I could sense the frustration in her voice.

“I will resume the search for one of the greatest black witches to sort out your baby problem,” Claire said

“What do you mean by sort? I won’t let you cause harm to my baby; I would rather die than allow you to harm my child.” Lena said with a raised voice.

“No, No, No, your child, no harm will come upon him; I won’t want to lose favour in the sight of Adrian anymore. I know how much this child means to him, and it’s why I came up with a solution to save the child.”

“What are you scheming this time aroun? Youu are lying bitch,” Lena said.

I could sense anger coming out from Lena; the tone of her voice had changed. She was getting pissed off and frustrated by Claire.

‘How did she turn out to be a spy? Was she forced into being one?’ I thought for a moment, then continued eavesdropping.

“The baby would be removed from your womb and be put into mine”, Claire blurted out.

“What!!!!!!!!? How is that even possible,” Lena asked.

“Oh, my dear, it’s very possible; one thing I have come to learn is that there’s always a solution to everything that happens in this world, especially with magic, my dear; many things can be done and undone.

“I won’t let you do that”, Lena shouted.

“And who said we would need your permission to do that? Adrian already gave his consent. All we need to do now is find a black witch.” Claire said.

I hoped I was doing the right thing accepting this solution Claire proposed. After listening for a while, I left back to my chambers, as some guards and men were already looking at me in a weird and scared manner.
