Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Claire’s pov

I was so jealous that she was carrying Adrian’s child, a lowly slave like her, a good for nothing low ranked omega wolf, I paced round my chambers looking for the perfect excuse in order to get rid of that child.

I was so cautious of my movement and the way I interacted with the other ranks of the pack, I knew that the relationship between I and Adrian was only at the beginning stage and I needed to show that it was worth it.

I thought of every single detail to make Adrian to like me, although I knew that Adrian has a split personality disorder, I knew that to an extent, I was close to him, I do not want to ruin what we had started by my “attitude”.

Different thoughts ran through my head as I racked my brain on the ideas that I was meant to use in order to get rid of the child in Lena’s stomach.

I knew that it was the Child in Lena’s stomach that made Adrian to be careful and concern around her.

I knew what I had to do, before I think of killing the child in her stomach, I needed to manipulate Adrian’s mind, I knew a reason that can be a bargaining chip for me.

I dressed up as I went to the only place where I could see Adrian – the throne room.

I never knew that Adrian’s mind could be manipulated, this was one of his weakness that I have laid my hands on. I knew that my instincts was right as I entered the throne room and I met him signing some documents.

For the first time since we reconciliated, he looked at me and I could see anger flowing through him, I pondered on the current phenomenon as I wondered what I had done in order to make him this angry with me.

“Do you think that I would let you go scott free after causing harm to my child??” He asked, his voice cold and menacing.

His eyes were changing colours and I knew that I was gone this very moment, I had lots of regrets but it was too late for me, I knew that there was a loophole in my earlier plan – not realizing how important the child is to Adrian.

“Who do you think you are?” He asked in different voices as I knew that my time was almost up. Sweats was dropping out of my forehead and I was hoping that the moon goddess can help me escape this looming danger.

His eyes were completely yellow as I fell on my knees and bowed my face to the ground, only the moon goddess knows how scared I was as my head was bowed to the ground.

While I was kneeling down I got to know that the child in Lena’s stomach is Adrian’s Achilles heel and I knew that if anything should happen to the child, Lena is gone for good.

It’s pains me to know that I had an information that would take Lena out of the picture, yet here am I at death’s door.

I was relieved when I heard his voice

“You may rise” he said.

I noticed his voice had not yet changed as I stood up on my knees trembling. His eyes had not yet return back to normal as I knew that he was very angry and probably his wolf was angry.

He could not be bothered about how his countenance is affecting me, I tried to remain composed, it could not work as I was shaking visibly.

“State your mission” He said.

I knew that there was no amount of teasing that would be helped you ravage the situation rather the teasing would made me closer to the grave than I ever imagine.

“It’s about Lena my Lord” I said.

He remained still as I took it that he was pondering about the situation, I smirked as I cleared my throat and said

“I think the Lycan king knew that Lena is pregnant with your child”

Goosebumps rose on my body as I knew that I was standing before a presence whose whole body screamed danger, I knew that any information that I’ll be releasing would be adding to the anger and I do not want to be at the shorted end of the stick.

“This would be your greatest weakness and when you’re very vulnerable, he will strike” I said.

Adrian chuckled, his chuckle was so cold that I stepped back a little

“Do you think, anyone can challenge my authority?? These ones are playing with fire and they are not afraid of getting burned ” he said.

An ominous feeling crept up my heart as I was wondering why I came during this odd time to relay an information at this odd hour.

Different emotions ran through me as I looked at the “Adrian” in front of me, right now he does not looked like an expressionless being which makes it impossible to decipher his expression than the beast he is right now.

He looked at me, his eyes had turned completely red, well….. that’s new, I did not know that I can play with fire until this very moment, here am I in the midst of death and instead of me being scared of my life, I am trying to decipher the meaning of his red eyes.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Do you know the result of who dangles with death, he gets his reward, I’ve been on your case for a long while, the next time, you do anything that would harm the child in Lena’s stomach, know that’s your last pleasant day in this pack”

I was shocked at his words, I didn’t know that Adrian is one who could keep grudges, I never knew that Adrian could be this way, I was still pondering about his strange phenomenon when he did an action that made me surprised.
