“I, Ethan, the future Alpha, reject you, Lena Liam as my mate and choose Lauren Liam as my mate!!” The pain of rejection was worse than any pain I had ever felt in my life. I had always been told stories of how painful it was when a mate is being rejected but nothing could prepare me for it. I looked around and saw Lauren walking majestically with pride as towards Ethan. She got to where Ethan was and held his hands. "I, Lauren Liam accepted your proposal." She said and everyone cheered. I could see my uncle and his wife beaming with pride. They had suddenly become the in-laws to the Alpha of our Pack. It was a great honor indeed. The people began to congratulate Ethan and Lauren and their parents and I was soon forgotten. The pain was much and with tears filled eyes, I ran away. I did not know where I was running to, but I just wanted to run away from everything. From the pack, from Ethan, from Lauren, from my uncle and his wife, from the Alpha and the Luna, in fact, I wanted to run away from myself if possible. I did not know long I was running but I came across a bar. I had never been to a bar before and I never knew something like this even existed in my Pack. I have heard of the people in my pack going to a bar to drink away their sorrows and I decided that drinking away my sorrow was the best thing for me to do in this situation. I went to the bartender and asked for a drink. It was my first time drinking alcohol but I did not care. I took a stool and sat down. There was a very handsome man sitting close to me. He had a well polished face even looking better than most male models she had seen on newspapers, but what charmed her the most was his lips… my drunk mind started wandering all over the place and thinking of different images. He looked at me with an amused look on his face making me think if I had probably spoken out but I smiled back at him though I was nervous inside but Of course He looked so strangely hot so which lady wouldn't smile back at him. "Hello, don't you think you are drinking too much?" The handsome man asked probably teasing me but I just looked at him and sneered. "And it is none of your business!" I slurred at him, already drunk. On a normal day with my eyes clear, I would never have had the courage to talk to him but that night, the alcohol had given me a kind of courage that I could not understand. I picked up the next bottle to drink but instead, he took it away from my hands. "That is enough, you are already drunk and it will be very ungentlemanly of me to allow you to drink more." He explained. I was angry with him for taking away the bottle from my hand. In fact, I was already angry with people taking away from me the things that rightfully belonged to me. I could not fight back but the alcohol had given me false courage and I decided to fight for my bottle of drink. I took the handsome man by the collar of his shirt and began to shake him violently. "Give.. me.. back.. my.. drink! Must you people take everything away from me?" I cried out still in my drink state unaware of who I was even speaking with. The handsome man seemed to understand my situation and gave me back the drink. I took it from his hand and began to cry. He gave me tissue to wipe my eyes. It made me cry harder because it seemed like he was the only one in the whole world who cared about my tears. "What happened?" He asked me with genuine concern. I was so moved by the fact that someone for the first time since my father died, had genuine interest in my life and wanted to find out what was wrong with it. I broke down in tears as I began to narrate my life story to him. He was very sympathetic and listened to me. By the time I was done telling him my story, the bartender told us that it was time for him to close the bar. Looking around, Indeed we were the only ones that were still left in the bar. The handsome man paid the bills for both of us and we were out. His cologne was the only thing on my mind at that moment. It smelt so nice that I started drowning in the scent. "Where do you stay so I can take you there if you don't mind?" He asked me. I was too drunk to say anything, so he decided to take me to his hotel room where he had planned to lodge for the night. We got to the hotel room and I was so drunk that I kissed him and was all over him just to ease myself the sorrow, but I couldn't remember all that happened that night. The hangover was really making me lose my mind. I felt like fun was the only thing which could keep me sane at that moment. I woke up the next morning to see myself naked on the bed beside the stranger. Shocked, I stood up suddenly and my head nearly split into two. The hangover was mad and my head was banging. I raised the duvet only to see blood stains on the bed. Holy Shit! I muttered to myself. I had lost my virginity to a stranger. I cursed myself for being stupid enough to drink and follow a stranger to his hotel room while I was drunk. How could I have lost myself so much that I could barely recall the events of last night and without bothering to look at the stranger again, I quickly put on my clothes and ran out due to shame and regrets. I did not know where I was so I decided to ask for directions and before long, I saw myself at my pack. It was still early in the morning so the majority of the pack were still inside their houses and given the ceremony of last night, they would have slept late so that meant that they were still sleeping. A perfect way to sneak in. I sneaked into the house and luckily for me, everyone was still asleep. I entered into my room, took my bath, change my clothes and lay down on the bed lost in thought so that whoever wakes up first will believe I had been at home too with them. ***********************************************

Mate by Fate, Bound by Love light in the darkness
**************************Lena's POV I opened my eyes to see Ethan lying lifeless beside me, almost dead. He was standing in between me and Zane as if he was trying to wait till I had woken up so I could continue from where he stopped. I looked at the place where Adrian was. He still lay down lifeless and almost dead. "Ethan, what are you doing facing Zane" but he couldn't hear me. The next thing I saw was an almost lifeless body lying in front, eyes wide open and staring at me. I felt a rage inside. I looked at both men, and the rage to protect those I loved just sparked in me.All of a sudden, light began to shine out from every part of my body. I was still wrapped by the tendrils, but as my light began to shine from my body, little by little, I started to feel the grip of the tendrils loosen up little by little until It loosened up completely."Oh I see you are finally awake, your boyfriend tried to delay me so you could wake up I will give him a plus for that but one thing I kn
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The descent into darkness
**************************Lena's POV I was very angry about the whole thing, angry about how Ethan tried to convince me to go with him and leave Adrian. I couldn't believe he asked me to do something like that. Running through the tunnels, fueled by anger and desperation, I made up my mind to destroy Zane and make sure I saved Adrian. Ethan continued to beg me and try to change my mind, but I waivedamantm a. NT I listen to. All I could think of was saving Adrian no matter what. I wasn't going to do this; I was going to allow myself to be deceived by his selfishness. 'I don't care what Ethan says but I won't abandon Adrian and I will make sure I make Zane pay for what he has done' I said to myself I continued to move deeper into tunnels, meetings, and staircases. Everywhere I passed through, I came across Zane's minion. These dar,k evil creatures blocked my pain, and I showed them no mercy. I used every bit of anger I felt inside of me, channelling my growing rage into my attacks.
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love The ultimate sacrifice
*********************Ethan's POV The sight of what I saw dreaded Me I could see the life being sniffed out from Lyla I controlled the urge to run into the middle of everything and just try to save her but I needed a plan I wouldn't want to go there and then I ended up being caught in the Web of what was going on without being able to save Lena. I tried to see if I could get signs of her alive, and I decided to use my hearing to check for a heartbeat. I was glad when I heard her heartbeat. Though it was slow, I was glad it was still beating. Leba was unconscious, with dark magic swirling around her as Zane kept on draining the power and life inside of her. Adrian was barely unconscious, chained and weakened. My heart pounded as I accessed the situation. I knew the time was running out, and I must act quickly to save both lena and Adrian. 'There's no way to win this fight outright. I need to overhang him,' I said to myself. I began to analyse and observe Zane's movement and powers.
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Awakening fury
*********************Adrian's POVI woke up to see a bunch of rocks lying on my body; I awakened my alpha strength and then used it to push off the rocks that had fallen on me. I was angry at myself for what I had done. The last thing I remember was Lena lashing out at me, sending me flying. The thoughts of that scenario just made me more angry at myself it made me feel so stupid. I didn't know how long that was.'She couldn't have gone far' I said to myself I moved the last rock on my leg and started moving forward. As I moved further, I began to see packs of Zane's minions dead on the floor. I checked for their pulses, and it seemed like they had been dead for a while. I was shocked; I wondered, how long they had died for. I left them and moved forward down the tunnel. Nel, I met more and more minions that appeared to be dead along the line bu, but I didn't see a sign of Lena. I decided to follow the trail of dead bodies and continued going further and further until I came close
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Threading on thin ice
*********************ETHAN'S POV we had come so far, but we finally got to where Lebs felt Adrian was, but we didn't find him there. Zane outsmarted us. He had beaten us to it. In a way, he was able to see through Lena's scanning to find Adrian too, and now Lena wants to go save Adrian.I wasn't going to allow them to face Zane unprepared; she had not learned enough to be able to defeat Zane. It was a dangerous thing. I was not also going to slow the risk of her life because of Adrian. She means more to me than the life of Adrian.Yes, call me selfish if you want, but I don't mind being selfish when it comes to the matters of Lena. Besides, I already listed her once; I wasn't going to lose her again to Zane, and this felt like a good way to eliminate my competition. I know that deep down in that innocent heart of yours, you are judging me, saying I am wicked, and seriously... I don't mind at all. You can think whatever you want to. All I was trying to do was just to make sure I did
Mate by Fate, Bound by Love Into the heart of darkness
***********************Lena's POV I signalled to him to hurry so we coukd go find Adrian. He ran fast enough but what he did I wasn't expecting it he kissed me. It was a very brief one but I wondered how he was still able to think about doing something like that in this present situation we were in. A situation of life abd death, I actually liked the way he did it, it brought a quick smile on my face but It was immediately changed to an angry face when zabe spoke out again. "Fool you think you would win because you have this little trick" he said "I will come for you when I am done saving Adrian" I said angrily I forgot again that he was talking to me telepathically and ethsn wouldn't hear what we were saying but I ended up saying my reply our angrily. "No you are not facing him today you are not ready to do that lena" ye said worriedly.I ignored him, I kept walking down to the place where I saw Adrian while scanning through the tunnels. On reaching there I couldn't find him a
