Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Lena’s POV

“You would have gotten us killed back there!” Lyla shouted

“But at least nothing happened” I replied acting like I wasn’t bothered

Deep down, I was very bothered but grateful that whatever happened that made my leg run so fast happened at that moment.

“I can’t believe you right now, is it because of our little argument you refuse to pay attention to me or do you just want to get yourself killed”

“Choose your death well,” I said

“Really?!”

I did like I wasn’t paying attention; I knew that as Lyla was talking, she wouldn’t be able to tell what are my thoughts. I noticed a few days back that whenever Lyla was talking and angry, whatever I thought at that period, she didn’t know about it.

“I think you took control over my leg back there,” I said

“What are you talking about?” She asked

“It wasn’t me that brought us here” I replied

“I don’t understand you, what do you mean it wasn’t you that brought us here? Was it not with your legs you ran?”

“Technically, the leg belongs to me, but I couldn’t even run fast if I wanted to; plus, I wasn’t the one controlling the leg; I could feel that my mind and head were not connected to the action.”

The energy I felt, I had never felt that energy before; it was so strong, and then it felt like the leg was determined to make sure I moved far away from that place as fast as possible.

“Who do you think did it then “Lyla asked

I could tell that she was lost, and she didn’t understand what I was saying. It sounded strange, but I knew what I felt; I was one hundred per cent certain that it wasn’t me controlling my legs.

“I think you took control over my legs Lyla”

Lyla started laughing loudly and irritatingly, as if to say, “What nonsense are you talking about?” I would have punched her in the face if only her body weren’t connected to mine.

“Took control over your legs?!…” she paused for a moment

“I doubt that” she laughed uncontrollably

“Listen to me, Lyla!! I am sure of what I am saying, It wasn’t me back there.” I shouted angrily.

“So what do you think? You think I took control of your body and what?! Made you run away from where you would have got us killed?!”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, as strange and confusing as it sounds, I think that’s what happened Lyla”

“Good lord! Lena! What’s come over you, I know the stress of trying to survive is not easy but it’s not enough to make you lose your mind”

“I am not losing my mind lyla, my mind is as clear and free as it has ever been in centuries,” I said

“Then why would you even think such a thing? I don’t even know how to take over someone’s body. I don’t have my magical powers, and despite my attempts to reignite them, I’ve always hit a dead end.”

“Then what do you think happened there Lyla” I said

I was frustrated that she didn’t even give it the benefit of the doubt that she could take control of me.

“It’s probably reflex action, you were in danger and under stress, you couldn’t run on your own will but due to the danger, your brain triggered a reflex”

“I can’t believe you right now.”

“Can you rule out the fact that you can take control of my body!” I said angrily

Lyla was silent for a moment; I called out to her, but she didn’t answer. After a while she replied

“The fact can’t be ruled out Lena, but, I have tried taking control before but I couldn’t do it”

“When last did you try it” I asked

“Back at the cell when you were being attacked by Adrian, I tried taking control but nothing was happening, I was saddened I couldn’t help you back there”

“Hmm” I sighed deeply

Okay, let us analyse the scenario and see how it happened.

We began to talk about how the night had gone from the moment we left the holding cell to the present moment we were.

“You were probably frustrated and angry at that moment,” I said

“No, I don’t think it was just that, if it was just that then I should be able to take control of you almost every time, in fact, every single day because I am always angry and frustrated by most of your actions”

“So what do you think.”

“Yes the anger and the frustration could be a part of it, but it’s not the only thing needed.”

“Then what is it, Lyla”

“I am sorry but being an alter ego of an omega wolf doesn’t come with a manual.”

“Oh yeah! Mock me!” I smiled

Lyla laughed; at least the atmosphere was not as tense as it was earlier.

“So what about you what was in your mind back there when you saw those blood-sucking demons,” Lyla asked.

I began to search in my heart, but I couldn’t remember what I was thinking.

Not long after, we began to hear the sounds of wolves and footsteps. I stood up, trying to run. We tried too hard to see if Lyla could take control again, but she couldn’t; I was injured, so I couldn’t run so fast.

I wish we had found out how it happened before this.

Now we didn’t know if they were even Adrian’s men or wolves from another pack or maybe my former pack.

I tried to keep running, but the footsteps and wolf howl started coming closer and faster. I kept running without looking back until I got to a cliff where the under was filled with rocks.

I would have died if I fell from there; death wasn’t an option for me. I was starting to understand myself and Lyla better, realizing that our relationship was one of mutualism.

I was ready to give us a try. I stood by the cliff top, not long after our chasers caught up to me.
