Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Claire’s pov

I looked at how Adrien was holding Lena and he was being overprotective of her and I was boiling inside..

I was one of the fairest ladies in the land and I was very beautiful, I am a beta who is recognized as a result of my father who owns the highest authority in the land.

I was the Luna to be of the pack as wolves of all ranks were respecting me. The recent news about the chosen Luna caused many people to look at me with different gazes.

Some looked at me mockingly while others looked at me disdainfully. I have never been embarrassed in my whole life. Right from childhood, I have been treated with love and care.

My words were my bond. I grew up having the consciousness that whatever I say will come to pass. I started developing feelings for Adrien when we were quite younger.

It happens that his father who was the ruler of the pack and my father were close friends.

As at that time my father came to the palace for meetings and discussions among two friends and I am always following him, because I wanted to be in Adrien’s presence.

Adrien is an Alpha wolf who is devoid of emotions, nothing amuses him, I love being the center of attraction as I have tried all my best for him to be attracted to me but he’s quite the opposite.

I thought I was going to hook him up by getting pregnant for him, but over the centuries I was unable to give birth to an heir.

Initially, he was not comfortable with my presence, my inability to give birth to the heir of the kingdom made him more disgusted by my presence.

With the way he’s treating Lena, it’s evident that she’s going to be the next Luna of the pack standing with him side by side which was not among my agenda and was not part of the plan.

I was looking for an opportunity in order to go close to him to know if he was still with his “Luna” or if he was alone.

Adrian gives permission for anybody to enter his room and I was not exempted. The day I barged into his room, he used his Alpha authority on me and I almost lost my life.

Ever since the incident occured, I learned to abide by the rules and I entered his room only when he grants me access.

Getting to the chambers, I met Adrien and Lena having a heart discussion as there were smiles on her face and it’s evident that Adrian was making her happy.

Adrian looked at me and he did not bother sparing me a second look. I was annoyed and left the chambers angrily.

I wondered who Lena was and how she had taken over my position in the pack, wolves were no longer being respectful to me.

This gave me sleepless nights as I pondered on what to do to make Lena out of the way, Adrien was openly displaying his love to her as the werewolf council was already having doubts on who was going to be the Luna of the pack.

My father looked at me and saw that my countenance was down, he came closer to me and encouraged me saying all will be well.

I was already calculating on the downfall of Lena when it dawned on me that I have a spy in the rival pack.

I picked up my phone and dialled a number on my phone

“Can we meet??” I asked as the call got connected

“Yes” A reply came at the other end.

I disguised myself as I headed towards a certain direction, a safe place in the rogue pack. This has been our meeting point for quite some time.

I met up with the wolf, he was a beta in the rival pack and he has relevance in the rival pack. I saw the information that has been gathered concerning Lena and I smiled knowing that the downfall of Lena is sooner than she thinks.

I went into my chamber and hid the information in one of the books and placed it inside the library.

Finally, the library has it use. I had been taught etiquette training from when I was quite younger, the goal was to prepare us to be the Luna of the pack ruling side by side with the Alpha.

I took a deep breath, recalling the incident which had happened earlier on, I sighed. I laid down on my bed and had a refreshing sleep.

Waking up, a maid brought food to me, I tasted the food, normally I would have thrown the food on her face and requested for a new one.

But, right now my pride has been affected and I was not bothered to know if the food was delicious or not.

I did not touch the food as I pondered on the next available steps to take, although I’m with an information concerning Lena, it’s not enough to bring her down.

Although I have my separate chambers where I have my privacy, Adrian and I share the same chambers whenever it’s time for official duty. I opened a book to read.

Don’t get me wrong by saying I am a scholar, an inquisitive wolf and whatnot, I am not any of those, I read to pass boredom not necessarily to gain information.

Wondering why I said that?? How does the future Luna thinks that way?? Well….. The point is Adrian is a bookworm who has studied history of past centuries, dynasties.

He had also studies the transition of dynasty into a pack having an Alpha ruler dominating the entire region so why would I bother on those.

The book I was reading funny enough was not a historical book but was a manga.

I went into the chambers in which I and Adrian shared only to discover that it has switched owners, I was no longer the one who gets to sleep with Adrian but Lena.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I was angry at the new development, this fuelled my passion to destroy her the more.
