Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Lena’s pov

I woke up with a slight headache, I looked around and realized that Adrian was not around. I could not blame Lyla though, I was the person who requested for the information and as a good servant that she is, she gave me the information.

“Thanks, but I am not a servant” she said

I rolled my eyes, she should be grateful that I gave her space in my head in order for her to occupy, else she would have been out ever since.

“You should be grateful that I am staying in your head, I who is of royal being” Lyla said.

I chuckled at her statement, who does she think she is, anyways I needed to dress and I’ll be headed to the library, there is a fantasy book that I really want to complete.

Ever since the incident occurred, I have learnt to trust no one, including my personal maid. I came as an innocent being but I learnt to be wise and cunning in this game, I am enjoying luxury and I don’t want to stop anytime soon.

Although I am Alpha Adrian mate, I have not been able to properly communicate with him, I could see that he loves me genuinely and unconditionally, that does not mean I am at liberty to discuss personal issues with him.

I dressed up in simple wear, I have stayed in the palace for too long and I guess there is nobody that would ever remember the lowly omega who had come to the palace to be introduced as a “mate”.

I came out of the chambers and I met Alpha Adrian, obviously he was angry, his eyes were changing colours and his personal guards stood afar off from him sweating buckets.

I did not allow him to see me as I so love my life, I cannot die now, I still had a child to take care of and hopefully, a kingdom to take care of.

I have been enjoying the attention that Alpha Adrian had been giving to me but I realized that I wanted more, I craved for more but I could not say it out because any slight mistake could lead to your death.

Although I am one who is curious about anything and everything that’s going on, I’m not that dumb that I don’t realize when I should ask questions and when not to ask questions.

I was about to leave the chambers when I heard a voice that stopped me on my tracks.

“Where are you going??” Knowing that it was Alpha Adrian that asked the question, I bowed my head and replied

“I’m going to the library, my Lord”

He placed his hands on my face and lifted my face up

“Are you scared of me??” He asked

This question made me shocked and amazed at the same time, although I am scared of him a little bit, I did not allow it to affect me

“No my Lord” I said confidently

“Can’t you call me anything apart from my Lord?” He asked.

I looked at him and his expression was undecipherable. I stuttered and said

“Hubby”

For the first time in a long while, I noticed that he smiled. Although the smile went as soon as it came, he looked around and he found out that I was not with any maids nor my personal maid.

He looked at me, curiosity burned in those eyes of his

“I wanted to be alone for this period of time” I answered the question in his eyes.

He nodded his head as I figured out that his countenance was calm and happy unlike the gloomy expression which he came in with.

I stood rooted on my spot as I awaited his permission in order for me to leave his presence, although the position of a “Luna” was given to me, rules were rules.

He scanned me through, after he noticed that everything was fine with me, he said a word

“Go”

I was very happy and I did what I had not done to anybody, I pecked him on his cheeks and hurried away from his presence without looking at his expression on his countenance.

I went to the library as I noticed that the wolves who were at the outskirts of the pack were still locking at me with different gazes, it was before that I did care about the gazes that were directed at me but right now, I do not care.

I entered the library as I went to the fantasy section in the library, my eyes shine because there were too many books to read from and I had limited time.

I took a book and began to read. The crazy thing about me is that I forget the flow of time whenever I begin reading, although it is something I discovered when I entered Alpha Adrian’s pack.

After a few hours, I noticed that my body was in pain, so I closed the book and decided to have a quick nap.

I woke up feeling refreshed as I continued from where I had stopped, right now Lyla was awfully quiet as I wondered what was wrong with her, normally she was the one who has the ability to annoy you with her words.

I closed the book and put it back in its place as I headed towards the palace, I did not know why, but I was just so happy.

Getting to the palace I knew this night was going to be a long one because I saw who I was not supposed to see, my rival in this game.

She was surrounded with maids as I wondered if her brain was knocked down or something for she to see that the maids do not like her but are pretending to like her in order to suck up to her.

She said to me

“Your days in this palace are numbered, enjoy it while it lasts”.

She left me with those words as I had a rethink on the words in which she had said, leading to a dark and gloomy night.
