บททั้งหมดของ Mate by Fate, Bound by Love: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

***********************Lèna's POV"Ouch!" I groaned in pain"Calm down; it's just a razorvine grass, Lena", Lyla said."Razor.... what you say!" I said I was looking at my leg where I felt something cut me. "It's just a RAZORVINE!" She said emphasis on the razor vine"What's a razor vine?" I asked "Are you kidding me right now?" Lyla asked feeling disappointed "You can't blame me, I was never lectured about things like the way all female wolves are supposed to""So one could say you are an illiterate" As much as it pains me that Lyla could say such a thing, it was just the plain truth: I was an illiterate. I don't know anything that has to do with nature; the little I know now is that I had been opportune to learn to read and write before I started staying with my uncle's family. My mom had trained me at an earlier age.It is why I was able to read some books in the library."A razor vine is a wild grass that can cut through a human skin when it comes in contact with one" Lyla

************************Claire's POV I pretended to cough as I tried raising my head to sit upright to look at my dad, Adrian and the physicianAdrian came running to assist me to sit up. I was happy at the way he looked caring."Thank you," I said to Adrian "I am sorry for causing a reason for you guys to worry" I apologised "Oh no, Claire, this isn’t your fault," Adrian said, gently placing his hands on my shoulders."Claire, are you alright? Do you need to rest for a bit? There’s no need to rush," my dad said, his voice filled with concern."Yes, Claire," Adrian added, "it can wait until you’ve fully recovered. We’re not in any hurry.""Where's Lena?" I asked pretending not to know about what happened."Humm, Claire you don't need to worry about that now" Adrian said "What do you mean I don't need to be worried?" I said, feigning annoyance."What's most important is that you get better, don't worry yourself about her," Adrian said "She escaped," came Dad's voice from where he

****************************Ethan’s POVThe words stabbed at me like a knife to the chest. As much as I hated to hear them, as much as they pained me, it was just the plain truth. The truth, they say, is always bitter.I felt an aching in my chest. Yes, I really did abandon her. I broke the mate bond, even knowing how much it would hurt after being severed. And still, I did it. Why? Love? No. That wasn’t love. It must have been infatuation, lust, or deceit. Whatever it was, I couldn’t call it love. Love isn’t deceptive."Do you know how to find her?" I asked."My lord, we do not know where she is. Please, my lord, I came for my daughter," Lauren's mother pleaded.I acted as though I hadn’t heard her. I was furious—at them, at myself. I regretted breaking the mate bond. Even if I could bring Lauren back to this palace, I wouldn’t. I couldn’t stand the thought of looking into the face of someone who had slept with my Beta. Not just my Beta—my friend. I didn’t even know what they did to

**************************Adrian's POVI found it hard to believe everything Claire had said. I knew she could go to extreme lengths to get what she wanted, but the thought that she might have inflicted all those injuries on herself just to prove a point seemed far-fetched. Yes, she's desperate, but I don’t think she’s psychotic enough to nearly kill herself just to make me believe her. Yet, I couldn't entirely dismiss the possibility that she might be telling the truth.Where could Lena be? Deep down, I hoped Claire was lying. I hoped Lena hadn’t been dragged into this mess. I loved her, and I still believed we could have built a family together.What no one knows is that I’ve been holding Lena in a cell, waiting to gather evidence—evidence to prove whether she was actually a spy or if she really did steal Claire’s jewelry. But Ian went ahead and complicated things for me. You might wonder how Ian, with all his abilities, doesn't know what I’m thinking. Over the years, I’ve learned

*************************Lena's POVI couldn't believe Claire could go this far just to make sure Adrian hated me so much."Lyla, what have I ever done to anyone in this world to be treated like this? How did I get this way?" I cried."Most people don't have a reason to be wicked to anyone. They just behave wickedly because that's who they are - they're evil," Lyla replied."Claire is the most evil person I've ever seen in my life. She must have come from the devil himself," I said bitterly."That's not our problem now," Lyla chuckled."We're here in the holding cell, the best place we can be right now. Let's brainstorm on how I took control of your body for a while," Lyla said."Yes, that's true. We don't have much time anymore. I'm sure when Claire comes back and sees I'm still here, she'll hasten up her findings of the black witch just so she can destroy me faster. And we can't let that happen.""No, we can't. So tell me, what was on your mind that night?" Lyla asked.I began to s
