Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Claire’s pov

I couldn’t believe the sudden transformation, although I expected the relationship between Adrian and Lena to crumble but not at a faster pace. I noticed that Adrian is no more comfortable with Lena.

There’s this fear in Lena’s eyes whenever she sees Adrian, this was only but the first phase of the plan, and it’s already going beyond my expectations. There was no separation between my father and me as my father and I were close buddies.

He was the one who gave me the strategy on how to turn close allies into enemies. I saw Adrian coming in my direction and I smiled.

I noticed how he walked passed me, he was lost in thought, the smile on my face contorted into a frown as I thought that as he had caused trouble for Lena, he was going to welcome me with open arms.

There’s this lingering fear in my heart that I am going to be treated as a sex slave not necessarily as Luna or his love. Although I wanted the position of a Luna, I did not want the relationship to be a loveless one.

I looked at my maid and smiled, she shivered as she walked beside me with her head bowed. I had not had contact with her ever since that night, I needed to keep my prestige and I did not want any stain added to my name.

I had not heard rumors of my sexual orientation lately so I knew that the secret was safe with her. These few days without sex had been so torturous to me, I have had massive sexual urges but I did not know who to vent them to.

I wondered if it was my wolf who was avenging that I had sex with a wolf that was not my “mate”. I never had a mate, never thought of one ever since Adrian came into my life.

I had tried ways to resist the sexual urges all to no avail, it’s always coming more heavily. I knew that I needed to be close to Adrian or to get his attention before the urges overwhelmed me.

My maid looked at me and noticed my expression was changing slightly, I was feeling pains all over my body and my body was itchy.

“Are you alright?” She whispered curiously.

I suppressed a moan that was threatening to come out of my mouth, “what was happening to me?” I pondered. I turned to her and I talked to her but it was in a low tone which was filled with pain.

“Alert me when Adrian comes,” I said.

She nodded her head as her curious eyes looked at me, I was feeling good that someone was caring for me but this was not the time to rejoice, I hurried into my chambers entered the bathroom in a hurry, and sat down on the bathtub enjoying the cold bath.

I felt relieved as a cold sensation wafted through my body, I sat down there as I was pondering on the strange sensations that had been happening to me lately.

I knew that I would not crave sex under any circumstances but this is me struggling with the same thing that I did not crave.

I sat down for thirty minutes, standing up from the bathtub, it looked like my body was hot, the urges getting stronger as I sat down on the bathtub. The cold bath was of no effect as the tremor did not stop.

It was getting more hot as sweat began to pour out of my body, I knew that I had resisted the sexual urges for only the moon goddess knows how long. I never knew that the punishment for resisting could be this painful.

I submerged myself into the bathtub with no hope of coming out. The fear of death was looking over me as I was afraid that this was where I was going to end. I chuckled to myself at the news which would circulate about my death.

It would be so shameful to me and my father’s prestige when the cause of my death would be announced – The inability to control her sexual urges. What the biggest joke of the century.

I came out of the water and relaxed in the bathtub, good gracious – the lustful thoughts in my head added to the predicament I was currently facing.

I tried all possible ways to remove those lustful thoughts in my head but it’s keep increasing and not decreasing, I lost track of time trying to find a solution to my current predicament.

I heard the banging of the door as I tied a towel around my breasts and stepped out of the bathroom, my body was burning. The itching on my body which had gone came intensively as I struggled to reach the door all to no avail.

I went back to the bathroom as I knew I could not stand it any longer. A few minutes later, I heard the door opening.

The pains in my body would not allow me to think but I recall allowing only two people access to my room – Adrian and Evelyn (my maid).

The pain and itchiness in my body were reduced to a great extent as I wore a light gown and stepped out of the bathroom to meet Adrian on top of the bed with a fantasy book reading.

I had long expected this time when Adrian would be reading in my room without his look of hatred and disgust.

I watched it from a distance as a smile was seen on my face, I went inside to sit down on the couch, with my face resting on my palms as I watched the beauty in front of me.

He closed the book as he looked at her

“Are you alright?” He asked

I looked at him and nodded my head suppressing the moan that threatened to escape my lips.
