Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mate by Fate, Bound by Love: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

************************Adrian's POV'I really hope I made the right decision,' I thought to myself, pacing the length of my room. Claire had a way of making me bend to her will, no matter how hard I tried to resist. Since the last time I gave in to her, she’s had me wrapped around her finger, and I hated how weak I felt because of it. It had been weeks since I last had sex. I kept telling myself I could hold out, that I had more control than this, but the moment she pressed herself against me, whispering those promises in my ear, I crumbled. Lord knows I needed release. My body screamed for it, and despite my better judgment, I couldn’t resist Claire. She knew my weaknesses and exploited them masterfully. Among all the women I’d been with, Claire was at the top of the list. Her wildness in bed was unmatched, and yet, it wasn’t enough. There was always something lacking. Satisfaction, yes, but not fulfillment. Not the kind of fulfillment I had felt that one night with Lena—the nigh

**************Ethan's POV The informant was taken to one of the maids. A hot bath was prepared for her, after which she ate. While she was eating, she ate like someone who hadn't eaten for days. "Are you okay with the food?" my sister asked when she seemed to be done."Yes, ma'am, I am done. I really appreciate it. Thank you, Your Highnesses," the omega wolf said."You're welcome. Do tell me about yourself first before we begin to talk about the main reason why you're here," Sophia said.I looked at her with a disapproving look. For Christ's sake, she was supposed to tell us about Lena and not herself! What was my sister doing? I felt a little bit angry, but what could I do? It was my precious sister, so I decided to just draw out a seat and watch how Sophia handles the matter."Do you have a family?" Sophia asked."My parents died in a ghastly motor accident. Their bodies were crushed to pieces," she said."Oh, I'm sorry about that," Sophia said."It's fine, ma'am. It was a long t

******************Ethan's POV*I tried to convince Sophia to get some rest, but she refused, insisting she wouldn't rest until we found Lena."I want to find Lena as badly as you do, but I can't do that if you're about to collapse," I said."I'm stronger than you can ever imagine," she retorted.No doubt my sister is strong, but right now, she looked like she might drop dead any moment. I tried my best to persuade her, but she remained adamant.After a while, my Beta returned with my former beta."Greetings, my lord. It's an honor and a privilege to stand before you once more, ready to serve," he said, kneeling.I looked at him. He was unkempt, clearly not faring well wherever he'd been. He resembled an abandoned lone wolf, and I felt a pang of pity. Before becoming my Beta, he was my friend. We had shared many secrets, which made his betrayal all the more painful. I knew it wasn't entirely his fault; Lauren might have blackmailed him or left him no choice. Knowing Lauren, she'd do a

*********************Adrian's POV*"How many times do I have to tell you that no one knows I'm here... except—" Lena paused as if suddenly recalling something."Except what?" I asked anxiously.She seemed lost in thought. I moved closer to her cell, standing directly in front of her, and repeated my question. Finally, she answered."Except my only friend back in my former pack," she sighed, as if she had completely forgotten about this person."How have you been communicating with her?" I pressed."We communicate through letters, but since I was called a spy and framed, I haven't written to her," she explained."What were the contents of these letters?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure."I told her how my life had turned out for the better. The last one I sent was about Claire wanting to end me by all means possible, and that you were involved in it."Anger surged through me. I banged on her cell loudly, the force throwing her back. Surprisingly, she didn't fall or hit her he

**************************** Ethan's POV "Look around, Adrian. I have more men than you. It's over," I said coldly. "It's not over until it's over," he replied defiantly. FLASHBACK "We need to be sure she's really still alive, and exactly where she is in Adrian's pack. Before storming in blindly, we have to strike when they least expect it," Sophia said, her tone measured. "You're right. But what do we do about that? At least now we know Adrian is the Alpha who took her, but we need to confirm she's still alive... and well." I paused, lost in thought, searching for a solution. "What do you think we should do?" I asked my former beta, turning to him. He let out a deep sigh. After a few moments of thinking, he finally spoke. "We could send in our trained spies to gather the information we need. That way, we can strike at the right time." "That's a good idea," Sophia chimed in, "but Adrian can't be underestimated. He's a strong Alpha. He'll sniff them out." "My lady, d
