Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

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

Ethan’s pov

I was so happy that I went to the library, I was able to acquire knowledge on strategy, I get it, since I was the ruling Alpha of the pack, I was meant to be knowledgeable in all aspects.

Well… Here’s the funny news of the century, I am not one who involves himself in history, pack wars and the formation used in the pack wars, are not my thing.

Different ranks of wolves wished they were the ruling Alpha as their perspective was that those who are of royal blood were special because they had the liberty to do anything, not knowing that the one who had royal blood longed to be free.

I knew that the only reason why the royal household was respected was not because of their personality but because of their status.

This was until my sister broke the law by becoming the first royalty to become a major general and commandant of the army. She was respected for who she was and not for her status as the upcoming Luna of the pack.

Here’s a tragic tale of mine

FLASHBACK

I was sharpening my sword, and I noticed that eyes were looking at me but I was too lazy to find out who the owner of such eyes was.

I looked up and saw Sophia’s eyes on mine, she smirked as she saw the position that I was in.

“Thought you said that it was a toy to you, why are you using the very weapon you rejected”

I scratched my head as I was lost for words. Sophia did not say anything as her eyes were still on me, I was already fidgeting, although I was quite young, I had no respect for my seniors, especially the Council of Elders.

I felt that the position that was handed over to them was not worth it and that they needed to work for the position.

I had a mature mindset although I was a young wolf who didn’t have information concerning the pack and how it was being run. I knew I could make certain decisions and implement the law whenever I desired.

I never knew what the Council of Elders had gone through, I never knew the decision of the Council could bring two phases – growth or destruction.

I never knew what the Council of Elders was doing, all I knew was that the resources placed in the hands of the Council of Elders for utilities were too much.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sophia had left my presence as I pondered on what to do, I was brought up in an environment that was rosy so I knew that I was a little bit pampered and a little bit spoiled.

I was getting annoyed because of the incessant meetings with the Council of Elders, there was no day my father did not have a meeting with those old folks, and at some point, it was beginning to freak me out.

I knew that my father was not the best father ever but he cared for us, I guess Sophia took after him because my father can not showcase his affection in simple terms, he’s a complicated wolf, and as such his actions are always complicated.

My father was the ruling Alpha and as such he was burdened with the pack activities, I never knew how the pack was operated on but I knew that the pack was always in constant wars with other packs.

The wolves looked at the palace as a dreadful place and the inhabitants of the palace as one who was wicked and heartless.

I could not blame them, If they knew how the ruling Alpha was always restless and was always trying to create tactics because of their safety, “would the attitude still be there or would it change?” I thought to myself.

I went to a quiet place and pondered on these words, I was ostracized and abandoned by the pack members because my sister was the commandant of the army, “who does that?”

I sat down there and I was beginning to feel bored, I took the book that I had brought, opened the book, and began to read.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, I looked up to meet brown eyes staring at me, I chuckled, and from her countenance, I could tell that she was not properly treated.

“May I sit??” She asked me

I adjusted for her and she sat down, ever since the encounter in the forest, I had longed to see her again, the funny truth is that she keeps appearing when I am moody.

She was the only one who had seen me in my worst situation. She was playing with the hem of her gown, it looked a little bit funny so I chuckled in low tones.

I was holding a brown teddy bear, and her eyes shone when she saw the bear, she was rough but she looked pretty.

I thought to myself and pondered on the situation, I silently thanked the moon goddess in my heart for allowing me to be trained in a happy home.

For those of you pondering on the name of the mysterious lady – Her name is Lena.

Surprised that I knew her name, here’s a funny fact, she had told me her name during our first encounter in the forest, and ever since then, the name had stuck in my mind.

I could not tell if she was being maltreated or not because Lena had not spoken a word ever since our first encounter, she is my drug who graces me with her presence whenever I am down and weary.

BACK TO PRESENT

I looked at the never-ending document and sighed, I thought the signing of the document was a job for my Beta, oh how wrong I was.

Different thoughts ran through my mind as I signed those documents, I sighed as I thought about the disgust I felt toward the Council of Elders, I got to understand their predicament when I became the ruling Alpha.
