Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Ethan’s pov

I was amazed by the fact that Sophia had the strength to admonish me considering the fact that she was sick.

It took her a lot of strength in order to mutter those words as I could tell from her expression that she was weakened by the words she had spoken.

She looked at me and a small smile crept through her face. I scoffed.

“You amaze me you know, you’re one of the rare Lunas who had the ability to smile in awkward situations.”

I could not be bothered by her expression as I took the documents which required my signature and began the day’s work.

Since she doesn’t want to make it look like her case was a complicated case, I was ready to do everything at my disposal in order to keep her happy and comfortable.

“How do you get to know about the situation of the pack?? I asked her a question breaking the silence that ensured between us

“Though my beta had been made the ruler by me, I have a lot of spies that are planted within the pack, these spies are the one who gives me a report” Sophia replied.

I smirked, getting to know more about Sophia was like a drop of water in the ocean.

One moment she is the amazing wolf that everyone wants to get acquainted with, the next moment she is a scheming Luna.

I knew that her being the ruling Luna of a pack for so long had to do with her wits and schemes.

Although there had been rare cases of a Luna who ruled their pack for so long, their stay on the throne was not for long before they eventually gave up the throne. Due to the pressure that’s meted out on them.

I pondered on her situation as we knew that she had a whole lot of enemies and I wondered if the sickness was due to a natural cause or if it was a poison that was injected into her system

I sent my beta another message in search of a powerful pack doctor to attend to Sophia’s case.

I knew that she was worried that I couldn’t find the solution to the problem but I can’t fold my arms and do nothing.

She was lying down on one of the chairs as she managed to sit upright. I dropped the document that I was signing and went to attend to her

“I’m not a weakling” she said.

I nodded my head because at this point, I do not want to refute whatever she had said, if it was an a normal day we would have argued it out but right now, I allowed her to take all the credits as a result of the situation that she is in.

My Beta came in with a pack doctor and the pack doctor examined Sophia body, he had a serious expression on his face as he conducted the test on Sophia.

I could not interrupt the moment as I knew how crucial my sister health was. After several examinations, the pack doctor looked at me with a solemn expression on his face.

“She had been injected with a deadly poison” The pack doctor said.

It took me all my will power not to strangle the doctor that had made such a statement, the pack doctor bowed his head and left my presence. I turned over to look at Sophia and I realized that she was getting weak.

She opened her eyes and noticed that I was worried and concerned about her, she smiled and saidContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“I’ll be fine”

I took a deep breath as I looked at her, she was the one who was given such a motivational statement when she was the one who needed the words urgently.

The only thing I could do for her was to accompany her during these perilous times of hers. I was looking through the document when I realized that I was being watched.

I raised my head and realized that it was Sophia who was looking at me, having a small smile on her face

“What’s it” I asked closing the document as I looked at her

“It’s nothing, it’s amazing to know that my little bro had grown up” she said.

I smiled and continued what I was doing.

My Beta entered the throne room looking so tense. He bowed his head, I pondered on the reason he came into the throne room in that manner.

I looked at Sophia and she looked back at me, I said in a emotionless voice

“Rise”

My Beta raised his head up and he met my deep emotionless eyes, I could not be bothered about the expression which was seen on his face.

“Your presence is required by the Council of Elders” He muttered.

“I’ll be right back”, I told Sophia as I left her presence and headed to the execution grounds which was the meeting point for the Council of Elders, I was boiling within me, my eyelids were twitching continuously.

The strange phenomenon that’s happening to me caused my Beta to remain at a safe distance away from me, I understood the feeling as he doesn’t want to die without knowing the reason for his death.

“You summoned me?” I asked with rage in my voice as I headed towards the throne.

The Council of Elders bowed down their heads, it was an act of apology towards me.

My eyes had turned completely red as I was furious, I knew that I had made a vow that I would not let emotions cloud my judgement.

As a result of the vow I remained mute for a moment, then I made a statement using my willpower to control my emotions

“Rise” I said.

The reason for the urgent call was to give me the modified version of the Strategy relating to the war

“I’ll deal with this later, I need to attend to an urgent situation”. I said and left the execution ground not bothering to know the response that came after my speech.
