Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Claire’s pov

Although it is quite satisfying to know that Lena has been treated like a slave in the palace, I could not get hold of the feeling that she is breathing the same air with me.

I needed her out of the way completely, all the plans which I had setup for her was gradually falling into place, the only one that got me angry was that she was still with her child, I needed the child out of the picture.

Anyways this would not stop me from accomplishing my goals. I was racking my brains looking for a plan that could lead her to the execution stage.

I saw my father coming out of his chambers with an expressionless face, if it was before, I would not dare to go close to him but right now he’s my closest buddy.

I went to him and hugged him, his expression softened as he looked at me.

“Are you alright??” He asked

I nodded my head and he was about to leave my presence when he heard a word from me that stopped him in his tracks.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“I needed advice from you, I think I’ll have to wait until you come back” I said.

He looked at me and smirked, he smiled but the smile was not reaching his eyes, this made me shivered but I had to comport myself so that he would not notice that I was afraid of him.

Well…. The idea of comporting myself could not escape his eyes, he was a keen observer and I did not know that my every action was seen by me.

He did not say a word as he left where I was, I ruffled my head in frustration, I needed to change the action of mine, from the look of his eyes, I knew he was hurt by the fact that I was still scared of him.

I entered the room and thoughts ran through my mind, I recalled the moment when I was treated like a slave and like air and I became gloomy, all was in the past because right now I am the Alpha’s little princess (or so I thought)

I saw Adrian coming out of the throne room and my eyes brightened up, I hurriedly moved over to his direction but paused alongside the way. I did not want the incident that happened in the throne room to repeat itself.

I was still traumatized by the experience of that day, on a second thought I entered the room as I began to glance through the books. I heard a knock on my door and opened the door, I was shocked when I saw that it was Adrian guard.

I pondered on what I had done wrong, and wondered if I was going to the execution room.

“Silly me, why do I think of such thoughts”, the guard lips were moving but he was not producing any sound.

“I’m so sorry, come again” I said.

There was no emotion shown in his face as he said

“The Alpha seeks your presence”

Although I tried to keep my calm but I was still confused on what was going on, in my confused state, I followed the guards and he took me to the garden, which was weird.

The places that Adrian visits are the throne room, the library, and the execution room. I was beginning to think that the guard had a knot loose in his head, because why the hell would he take me to the garden??

Different questions were beginning to be formulated in my head, or was this how my life was going to end, I had been at my best behaviour except for the time I slapped Lena. He’s not going to punish me for this right??

I knew that the guard was only but a messenger so he would not be able to answer the question, the only one liable to answer the question is Adrian .

“Have we not passed this stage yet??” He asked, frustration laid in his voice.

I rose up my head as I was amazed by the sudden transformation. Different emotions ran through me as I pondered if this was really Adrian, the cold-blooded Alpha or an imposter.

“Did you want I should gauge your eyes out?? Why the look on your face” Adrian teased.

The sudden transformation made me smile, his poker face looked at me as he chuckled out loud, I was about relating what was going on when I heard that my father was back.

I was at loss of what to do, earlier in the day, I told my father that I needed his help and right now I was enjoying the conversation I had with Adrian and I did not want to leave his presence.

Adrian looked at me, curiosity burned in those eyes of his, he took a deep breath and said

“You may leave, come back after you’re done discussing with your father”.

I nodded my head as I headed towards my father’s chambers, I recalled the incident that happened this morning and a shiver ran through my spine, I was skeptical about visiting my father.

I thought he was still angry about the incident that happened earlier today. I got to my father’s chambers and was about to knock on the door when I heard his voice from within

“Come in”

I came inside and my father was beside the book looking through the documents

“You wanted to see me?” He said not bothering to look at me

I knew he was pissed off at what happened earlier on, I spoke from where I stood

“What’s the punishment for stealing a property especially from a beta rank wolf”

“It’s punishable by death”. My father said

A blissful expression was on my face as I had known the perfect plan that would make Lena suffer.

I sent a trusted maid to hide my accessories in Lena’s room.

Her destruction has started.
