Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

***************************

Lena’s POV

It feels so good seeing him like this; I never knew there was this side to the honourableeLycann King. All my past days, I’m the pack. I have only heard of how the lycan King was fierce and powerful.

They made it sound like he never had compassion on anything, his rejecting me as his mate was what convinced me and made me believe, but right there the Ethan standing In front of me was no fearless alpha, not a fierce lycan King

He was just a scared little brother who was afraid of losing his big sister, a scared little boy who was afraid of losing the last person he had that was family.

He was about to take me to another picture to tell me about the picture and what resulted in it when I stopped him.

“It’s enough Ethan, give me the details of what I have to do,” I saidContent is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yes, I had to agree because I saw a new side to Ethan I had never seen before; I got to understand that behind the fearless alpha was a scared little boy who wasn’t sure of how to go about his life, which explains why he was easily deceived by my cunning cousin and her father.

A quick secret y’all don’t know is that Lauren found out about my mate bond with Ethan. I don’t know how she did it, but she went to tell her father, and that’s when they decided to make Lauren seduce Ethan, so he would end up rejecting. But I couldn’t tell him this at this time: that was all in the past. Lauren and her family are paying the price for their action now.

“Are you for real?” He asked

“Do I look like I am joking?” I replied with a question

He rushed over to hug me.

“Ouch,” I felt a sharp pain in the way he hugged me.

“I am so sorry Lena,” he said placing his hands on my stomach

“How is it faring?” He asked

“Don’t get too comfortable”, I said, pushing his hands away from my stomach.

To be sincere, I liked it when he placed his hands on my stomach to feel them, but I couldn’t let him see that I was happy, at least not yet. I needed to make him think I was still angry with him.

“I am sorry” he smiled “Let’s go back up,” he said

“We went back up to his chambers, Sophia was up too I guess she couldn’t sleep either, seeing her now after hearing all those sweet things she did back then for Ethan made me see her in a new light, I cherished her more and I made up my mind that I would do anything within my powers to make sure that she’s saved”

“Lena, Adrian why are you guys still up by this time of the night” Sophia asked

“We could ask you the same thing” Adrian replied

“I couldn’t sleep,” she said

“I stumbled upon Adrian while I was taking a stroll to clear my head and process everything you both have told me,” I said

“She’s agreed to do everything she can to help us, Sophia”

Sophia, looking at me, asked, “Really?”

I nodded affirmatively.

I could see her face lit up with joy and hope.

“I think you guys are forgetting that I don’t really get the full gist of all this I still don’t understand what I am supposed to or what I am not supposed to do,” I said

“Sit down, Lena”, Adrian said, dragging out a seat for me.

“We will tell you everything, and how we found out that you could heal my sister.”

“A few weeks ago, when my sister first came here looking sick, I tried so many doctors, but nothing was working; I was advised to go seek a sorcerer healer deep in the woods.” He paused looking at me as if he was checking if I was following or not.

“Continue,” I said

“I couldn’t risk the whole pack members knowing about this so I went with my sister and my Beta to the sorceress abode, when we got to the source abode, before we spoke it was like she knew what we wanted to say to her she was the one who told us that an ancient being leaves inside of you and that ancient being his a powerful healer who can heal whatever disease that comes to her table.”

“She asked us to find you as you are the only one that could save Sophia’s life”

‘Could they be referring to Lyla?” I thought to myself.

“So did this sorceress tell you what I should do or potions to make” I asked

“No, she didn’t, but the only thing she said was that the old one inside of you would know what to do when her power awakens.”

“Oh wow!” I exclaimed. I was short of words. Yes, I knew Lyla was a white witch, but I never knew she was that great of a healer.

“Have you been experiencing changes in your body or maybe you feel something like an alter ego in your body?” Sophia asked

I bowed my head for a while, wondering if I should tell him the truth or not; in a way, I was worried that if they found out about Lyla, they might want to exploit her powers for their gain.

“Tell them” Lyla spoke

“You say what” I asked to be sure if what I heard was what she said.

“Tell them” her voice came again.

Since she gave her consent, I didn’t have a choice

“True, there’s an ancient white witch inside of me; I have been talking to her for a while now.” I paused

I could see the joy in their eyes when I made it known to them that I had Lyla inside me.

“Since when did you notice?” Ethan asked

“I heard her clearly while I was in the library at Adrian’s” “though I had heard Few thoughts from her far back in the past but I didn’t know it was from her.”

“Can she hear us now?” Sophia asked

“Yes, she can hear us now; I even had to ask her permission before telling you guys anything, it seems she trusts you guys. If she does trust you guys, then I must trust you too”

“What’s her name,” Sophia asked

“Lyla,” I said

“Lyla if you can hear me I am glad you decided to stay in this body I am really glad you agreed to help us,” Ethan said

“Tell them that If they tried anything funny I would destroy them with just a flip of my fingers” Lyla said

I laughed uncontrollably; Sophia and Ethan were looking at me, confused.

“What happened, what did she say?” Ethan asked

“You don’t want to know,”, I said, still laughing.

Suddenly Sophia slumped and was bleeding profusely from her nose and eyes.

“The enchantment is wearing off” Ethan said looking so scared

“Enchantment? What enchantment” I asked feeling lost

“The sorceress that told us about you preserved Sophia’s body with an enchantment, now it’s wearing off we need to act fast.”
