Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Adrian’s pov

I closed my eyes before I turned to her gaze.

She had a frown on her face with her hands on her hips.

“What do you want?” I asked harshly.

“Is this how you speak to your mate,” she said with a straight face.

“I’ll come back and check on the patient. Good day, lady Claire.” The healer bowed before she disappeared into the hallway.

“So are you ready to talk? Who is she? why is she here?” Claire grumbled.

“You’re asking too many questions. How do you expect me to answer everything at once.” I said to her.

“Stop trying to change the subject.” She fired back.

“Why are you being so noisy? We both agreed that we are not going to interfere in each other’s life.” I reminded her.

I was beginning to be tired from all her rambling.

This arrangement was because the elders wanted me to breed an heir so that they could have their own become the Luna.

They claim that it is because they are worried about my bloodline but I know they are just a bunch of greedy people hungry for power.

Although it’s just most of them I still have a few loyal ones on my side.

“That is not the point here. Why would you bring a stray Into our home? Don’t tell me it’s just because you have the luxury of being kind. Who is she to you?” Claire yelled.

“How dare you speak to me in such a manner.” I groaned.

“It seems you are beginning to forget your place in this pack,” I said with a stern expression.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Claire was fuelled with rage and I could feel it. I wondered what she was going to do when she found out that another woman was carrying my child.

I was the alpha but the elders still had power in the pack and they were respected by the people.

Claire was the daughter of the oldest elder so getting on her bad side would be trying to start a war.

She was her father’s most priced possession so he always did whatever she wanted which was why she ended up being a spoiled brat.

“Are seriously going to get angry because I called her a stray.” She scoffed flipping her hair past her shoulders.

I grabbed her hand pulling her harshly, hoping it would help her come to her senses.

“Let this day be the last time you ever dare utter such words from your mouth,” I warned her.

She pulled away from my grip with a growl.

Claire was a fierce wolf.

She was one of our best hunters which was one why the elder suggested her as the best candidate for the position of our pack’s Luna.

I grabbed her chin as I narrowed my eyes to her.

“You better keep those claws and fangs to yourself or else you are going to get hurt.”

“Are you going to challenge me because of her?” She gritted her teeth.

“You threatened what was mine,” I replied.

“Well then be ready for what comes next,” Claire smirked.

The way she was grinning I knew she was up to no good.

Claire is bold and daring so she is dumb enough to try something stupid.

“Good day, alpha,” Claire said to me after she gave a courtesy.

After she left I rushed into the room to meet the woman I longed to see.

She was still looking pale but her complexion was a little bit coloured.

She was all cleaned up and was tucked underneath the blanket.

I took a seat beside her and watched as she slept peacefully.

I was truly mesmerized by her captivating features.

I wondered what a mini version of her would look like.

This thought brought a smile to my face because I had always wanted a little Pup.

Most people feared me because I was the alpha but I wanted a family who wouldn’t be afraid of me.

Over the years the woman chosen to be my mate was always scared of me even though they tried to hide it.

They didn’t care about me,

All they wanted was the position as Luna of the pack.

“When are you going to wake up,” I muttered softly as I took her slim hands in mine.

My heart leaped with joy when I saw her eyes flickered slowly.

“Where am I?” She sighed.

She didn’t notice me for a moment because her eyes were roaming the room trying to take in her surroundings.

When she finally caught a glance at me she was startled and she immediately moved to the edge of the bed frame.

It hurt me to see how frightened she was acting towards me.

It was obvious she didn’t recognize me as her one-night stand.

I wanted to know her but I considered the possibility that she might not open up to me if she found out that I was her one-night stand.

“Who are you?” She asked giving me a frightened gaze.

“I’m Adrian, I’m the alpha of this pack,” I replied.

The moment I mentioned my name it seemed to even worsen the whole situation because she began to tremble with fear.

Who could blame her?

As the alpha of the Danville pack I had a fierce and ruthless reputation but I think some of them were exaggerated.

“You don’t have to be scared of me. I promise I won’t hurt you.” I said in a calm tone.

She curled her knees together as she held them.

She was too frightened to even look at me.

This was beginning to get frustrating for me but I had to be patient if I wanted her to open up to me.

I tried to reach for her but this movement was sudden and caused her to distance herself even more.

“Alpha please I’m begging you. I’m just a little omega with no value or significance.” She sobbed almost in tears.

“Please I’ll do anything just don’t hurt me.” She pleaded.

I had a smirk on my face as I moved over to her.

I held her face gently before she was even about to move.

“Don’t hide from me,” I ordered.

She swallowed hard but kept her eyes on mine.

“Since you’re willing to do anything. Be my Luna.” I said.
