Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Claire’s pov

Ever since the incident that happened with Adrian last time, I was getting afraid of him and I do not bump into him in some certain situations.

I realized that he could be angry at times and during those times of anger, he can lead to some unexpected situations.

“Why are all these things happening to me??” I pondered.

I thought I had become close to him and had him at my finger tips not knowing that we had gone back to the point when we were total strangers.

I couldn’t decipher Adrian’s mood these days, his mood is always fluctuating, these made me scared of him, I think I was not the only one who was feeling the heat, his guards were also feeling the heat.

He came out of the throne room and his being screamed danger, I hid myself as I do not want to experience what I had experienced before, it’s still livid and fresh in my memory.

I looked at his eyes and noticed that his eyes had returned back to normal which was a great achievement for me.

I laughed at myself and wondered why I am behaving like a slave when I am a princess. There was no rival in the Luna position as I was seen as the Luna of the pack.

It would sound funny in the ears of all those that would hear it that Luna is afraid of the ruling Alpha of the pack – the one who she’s meant to sit and rule side by side.

I sighed as I went into my chambers, I hate the uneasy feeling that I am currently experiencing, although I was still in deep contemplation on why I had such feelings.

I was getting frustrated because I had information that could drag Lena to the mud but I cannot fully express it.

A knock brought me out of my reverie as I was angry at the one who knocked at the door, doesn’t he know the perfect time to knock??

“Come in” I grudgingly answered.

I was shocked at the one who opened the door, it turned out that he was one of Adrian’s guards.

“The Alpha requested for your presence” he said.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

He left immediately after he had given the message, I went out of the chambers immediately as I’m aware of the consequences of going late when you’re being summoned by the Alpha.

I entered the throne room where he is and I noticed that he was quite busy, with my head bowed, I stood there shaking, he was not finishing any time soon and I’m afraid of interrupting him.

I do not want anything to cut my life short as I loved my life.

After a period of time, he raised his head up and I was not able to decipher what he’s expression was, obviously how do I see the expression on his face when my head was bowed to the ground.

“Rise” he said

I raised my head up to behold the enchanting eyes in front of me, deep down, I knew a whole lot of things had changed about Adrian but I couldn’t wrap my head on what had changed.

The throne room was silent for a long time and the silence was beginning to freak me out. He gestured on me to sit down as I sat down, if it was before, I would be reeling in excitement that I shared a table with the ruling Alpha.

But right now, I am keeping my fingers crossed as I was too cautious of my moment and expression around him, because any slight mistake could lead to my downfall.

“Do you think you can gather information on my subjects right under my nose and I would not know?” His voice was cold and menacing as he asked the question.

I was shocked and speechless at Adrian’s outburst. I thought I knew one of his weaknesses.

“Why am I always having new knowledge in awkward situations?”

His eyes were changing colours and I knew I had succeeded in getting him angry.

In the ventilated room, I was sweating buckets. He stood up from the throne and headed towards my direction, I stepped backwards as he chuckled.

“Do you think that I am one who can be easily manipulated??” He asked further

I knew that if I did not answer the question, the death door would be smiling at me with his hands wide open.

“No my Lord” I answered shakily.

“It was nice feasting on your body tho, I would love to enjoy the sensation once more” He said

Different thoughts ran through me, my earlier guess that Adrian had fallen in love with me was shattered by this statement.

Only the moon goddess knows how bad I want to escape from this situation. I cursed my luck as I pondered on why I had to meet Adrian in weird situations.

“What have you gathered concerning Lena??” He asked.

I knew that I could not tease him on spot so I answered the question immediately

“I think the motive of her coming into the pack was a set up”, I began

He looked at me with curiousity laced in those eyes of his, I held back a laughter because I knew that it would mark the end of my life if I ever laughed, given the current situation.

I cleared my throat and continued

“She was a bait for the real deal” I said.

He stared at me as his gaze was calm, he was contemplating on some things, I couldn’t wait for it to end as I continued.

“She’s the informant of the rival pack, she’s here to get information about the pack”.

There was no emotions showed on his face as I pondered on the scenario..

He looked at me with a look that says “any other thing”

I shook my head and left the throne room without a word from him, today had been a tiring day.
