Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Ethan’s pov

I knew that my beta was still there with his head bowed, I wondered why it was too hard to look at my face, I guess it was an unwritten rule among the betas not to look at the eyes of their Alpha.

Looking at his expression, I noticed he was already feeling uncomfortable, although he tried not to show it, it looked like he was scared of my presence.

I sighed as I took a deep breath and I said

“You may leave”

He rose his head and gave a curt bow and left my presence. I had closed the letter after I took a sneak peak on what the letter was all about.

I went into the throne room and I sat down on one of the chairs and opened the letter. It read thus

“I had been diagnosed with a sickness for over three months, I had not been able to perform administrative duties as a result of this.

I do not want to bother you but I guess if the sickness grows any worse than this, you stand a chance of losing your sister ”

I closed the letter as a tremor ran through me, this was the only surviving family I had. I sent my beta to bring in my sister from her pack.

Our pack had an alliance with each other and it was the neighbouring pack, a mile away from where my pack was.

Different thoughts ran through me, I cannlt lose my sister, it was not possible. I began to ponder on the solution. I am willing to do anything in order for my sister to regain back her health.

While pondering on the possible solution for my sister, my beta brought her in, she was looking so pale as I wondered if this was my sister who I had known centuries back.

My Beta dropped her and gave a curt bow, then he left my presence. I was worried as I saw that my sister countenance was worse than I had imagined.

She opened her eyes and saw my countenance and she forced out a smile

“I’ll be fine” She said.

I could not be annoyed with her as I told my beta to look for a doctor who was good at what he does.

“Let the meeting between you and the doctor be in secret, if any word was to leak out, you would not be alive to tell the tale” I said.

My Beta shook his head and left my presence fearfully. Although my sister was not feeling too well, her eyes never left my face, she saw the way I handled my Beta as she chuckled.

“You’ll never cease to amaze me” She said.

“If words get out that the Luna is out of the pack, it could be an opportunity for the enemies to attack your pack” I said.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She was shocked at the statement that I said.

“Guess my little brother is already growing up” She said.

“Who’s taking charge of the affairs in the pack?” I asked her.

“My Beta”. She replied

I was amazed at her answer, “was the one who she had chosen a trustworthy wolf, what if there was a revolt by the same wolf she had chosen??” I pondered on this word.

The only thing that I loved was that with my sister, I do not have to mask up my expression or cautious as I felt that my sister will not want to cause me harm.

I was absentminded and she easily noticed that I was no longer listening to her.

“Are you alright??” She asked.

I shook my head and I decided to ask her the question which has been bugging my mind.

“Won’t there be a revolt caused by this beta wolf of yours?” I asked her.

She shook her head as she showed me a letter which was a confidential agreement, everything was stated in there including the repercussion, should there be any cause for revolt.

I smirked as my eyes scanned her round, I could not help but give her a thumbs up because in the midst of the sickness, she still has a way of controlling her pack.

My Beta came in with a doctor, I got to find out that he is the best doctor in the neighbouring pack. I had stayed long with my sister and I figured out that she does not like it when she is reminded of her condition.

That was the reason I engaged her in small talks and I did not go indept on the matters relating to her health.

The doctor diagnosed her and he shook his head negatively. After his diagnosis, I asked the doctor what was wrong with my sister.

“I did not find anything weird in her system”. The doctor said.

I was angry and was at the verge of strangling the doctor to death, a look from my sister made me to recover the anger which I had faced.

I know that I had kept it a secret for a long time, I did not want anyone to know the name of my sister, but right now I am tired of calling my sister, I’m gonna call her by her name – Sophia.

Tension grew within us, I guess the doctor noticed the tension that was brewing so he said

“I would take my leave, my Lord”. He bowed his head as he waited for my permission to leave. There was nothing I could do as the doctor was getting afraid of my presence.

I had not done anything wrong or had not commit any crime for one to be afraid of my presence, although I do not show my emotions, I am a fun wolf to be with.

Sophia was chuckling softly at the background, I pondered on the strength she had used to chuckle.

“It’s best if the relationship is a little bit strained, No one is to be trusted, it’s wise not to trust the one who you loved the most because betrayals knows no friend” she said.

I nodded my head and went to my chambers as I began to ponder on these words
