Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Lena’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 said

“Oh! now I know, thanks Lyla”

“So what do you wanna do now”

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, not sure about what she was asking.

“Do you have an idea of where you are going?” she asked

“I don’t know where I am going, and I don’t have a single idea of where this forest leads to,” I said in a very frustrated tone.

“So you ran out of the safest place we could be right now to come into a place where we have no idea of! a place where we are prone to more dangers! The most annoying thing is that we are weak! What were you thinking!?”

“Excuse me, but you expect that I stay where I was about getting killed by a beastly alpha. Well, thank you very much. I will pass on that. I replied angrily”

“He wasn’t going to kill you lena, beside you said it yourself he won’t want to hurt his child”

“Oh please, didn’t you see the way he threw me across the execution room, it’s a miracle I am still alive.”

“Didn’t you see how he stopped himself when he was about to kick you in the stomach?”

“And what about that, Lyla!?”

“Oh no I can’t believe you, Didn’t you see how he struggled, it was probably his alter ego his wolf side that wanted to kill you so badly for betraying his pack and spying on them”

“But I didn’t do that”

“Oh Lena he doesn’t know that he only knows what Adrian knows and what Adrian knows is that you are a spy”

“So you think Adrian would have been able to take control of his body? I wouldn’t bank on that.”

“So where is this place” Lyla asked.

I stopped walking to look around; everywhere was dark, and I couldn’t see more than 6 steps from me. The forest was thick. I stumbled on something, and I fell to the ground.

I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t. I was just too frustrated to even let out a cry.

“This is not the time to be weak Lena” Lyla urge

“Can’t you take control of my body? just as Adrian’s wolf took control of his? You could come to help me out instead of just remaining inside there just talking to me,” I said, feeling frustrated.

“I wish I could do that, but I can’t, even if I want to I wouldn’t know how to go about it, and besides I will need my full strength to be able to take over your complete body for now”

“So you are useless to me now, I will appreciate you keep quiet and don’t lecture me about things to do, talk to me when you can be of help”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I was so furious about the whole thing; I didn’t mind talking to Lyla anyhow.

I stood up and started heading forward. I had no direction; I was just going down the path to wherever it led me. I got to a path that was divided into two and got confused about where to follow.

I fell on my knees crying, I just wanted to end my life life that very minute.

After a while, still on my knees trying to figure out the path to follow, I began to hear the sounds of footsteps from afar. I might be the weakest among wolves, but my ears are still very sharp.

Take the right part”

“I ignored the voice and took the left part”

“What are you doing” the voice came again. yes it is who you think it is

LYLA

I kept on walking down the left part until I couldn’t see a part anymore; all I could see were beautiful houses filled with gold; people seemed to be inside these houses eating and dining.

I felt so happy and relieved that I took the left part; now, I am going to get help or maybe see somewhere to lay low until I give birth to my baby.

I went straight to one of the buildings

“Lena don’t!”

I ignored the voice and went ahead to knock on the door. After several knocks, the door was open, d, and I got the biggest shock of my life.

The moment the door was opened, I smelt fresh human blood; I saw a man feasting on on a lady’s neck, drinking her blood.

I had just walked into a vampire’s lair, and vampires and werewolves have been sworn enemies for only God knows how long it’s been.

“Run!!!!!” Before I could think of the next thing to do, my legs just started running, it was running faster than I would normally run; I couldn’t believe what just happened. I couldn’t even understand what was going on.

But that was not the time for me to understand what was going on but the time for me to run far away from here.

I ran for about 30 minutes without looking backwards until I hit my legs on a stone and fell. That was when I felt my original leg come back

“What had just happened? I couldn’t believe what happened back there, but I was glad I wasn’t there.”

“Why didn’t you listen to me, when I asked you to go left.”

“I am sorry,” I said feeling very sad and sorry that I didn’t listen to Lyla
