Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Lena’s pov

I was surprised by the level of treatment that’s being laid out for me. I was a slave in my former pack and I was used to a life of pain, rejection, and maltreatment.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

The huge transformation came as a shocking secret to me, till now I’m still unable to comprehend the elevation of status, from being a slave who was always carrying out other people’s duties to being a queen.

I had maids at my beck and call. I had many maids who were assigned to carry out every of my chores which was looking so alien to me.

I was reading through a book when I noticed the presence of a young lady adorned in royal apparel, jewelry, and ornaments designing her body as she stood by the door looking at me disdainfully.

Maids were clustered by her left and right, her mouth brought forth cold words

“Don’t be happy that you’ve succeeded yet, watch your back ” she said and left the room

I wondered what had happened or if I had encountered the strange lady in any form, I realized that I had not, and I pondered on what her words meant.

Deciding not to ponder on the words further, I continued reading my book.

I was a lover of books obviously as curiosity was birthed in me right from a tender age before my father died, he is one who I admired because of his ability to read books at a faster pace.

There was no way I would be able to read in my other pack because of the treatment I had received over there. The little time I had for myself was been taken away from me.

Recalling how my life had been, I was amazed at the changes that were happening to me. Funny enough, it is happening to me at a faster pace.

It happened that I was carrying the heir of the land, and according to the custom of the land, anyone who was able to birth an heir was automatically seen as the Luna of the pack.

I noticed the attitude that Alpha Adrian showed to the lady who was clothed in royal apparel, he treats her disdainfully, of no importance and I could see a deep amount of hatred he had whenever he looked at her.

I’m not meant to judge but I was quite happy when I saw the way he was treating the other lady.

After being rejected, I learned to be possessive of whoever I loved and I grow jealous whenever I see any other woman getting close to the one I love.

My heart has been dead to love because of how I was heartbroken and how my heart felt so much pain when I was rejected by the Alpha of my other pack, the little care and concern shown by Alpha Adrian opened my heart to love.

Although I was happy concerning the treatment being meted to her I was wondering who the lady was because she looked so strange and unfamiliar to me.

I looked at Alpha Adrian and he replied to my unanswered question

“Claire, my betrothed,” He said

Great, I have another rival, I thought to myself.

I noticed that the royal apparel was too heavy for me so I went back to my room to change into lighter wear, Alpha Adrian was outside my door.

I told the maid who was assigned to me

“Please can you help me with a lighter wear??” I politely asked the maid.

She looked at me and nodded her head, I never knew I had a walk-in wardrobe until that very moment, she removed a wear that was quite light and handed it over to me.

“Thanks, I appreciate it,” I said

She smiled at me and returned to her position.

Alpha Adrian came in a few minutes later and his countenance brightened as he saw my appearance. He walked towards my direction as he came closer to me and wrapped his hands around my waist.

“You look beautiful,” He said.

I smiled as I heard his words, no one had ever complimented me, instead, my whole life was filled with mockery, disdain, and scorn.

“Let’s go out for a walk,” He said.

He walked beside me as his personal guards were with him, my maids were beside me as we walked into the chambers, everyone was bowing their heads whenever our presence is felt as I was happy toward this transformation.

We left the chambers as he took me on a tour, we went into the market which was at the outskirts of the town, he looked at me and said

“Let’s get new clothes”. He said

I was surprised and shocked at this information. I had a walk in wardrobe and all of a sudden he was getting new dresses for me. He looked at me and explained

“You’ll outgrown them” He said, his hands rubbing tenderly on my belly.

I could not refute him as we went into the shopping mall and gots clothes in excess, Any clothes which I sets my eyes on was been given to me.

He kissed me on my cheek as I was blushing. He was openly professing his love to me, deep down I wished this love will last and will not fade away.

Lady Claire and I crossed, she pushed me and I fell down, although I had to hold my stomach, scared that I was going to have a miscarriage. Alpha Adrian looked at her, clearly he was angry for the action she performed.

“Do not try this again, you will not want to know what happens to anyone who defies my order” He said, his voice sounded very cold.

He did not spare a glance at her to know what her expression will look like as he picked me up from the floor, he looked at me with concern.

“Are you alright??” He asked

I shook my head assuring him that I was alright. I was enjoying the love and care been shown to me not knowing that my downfall was coming soon.
