Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

Ethan’s pov

I needed a place to relieve my anger the urgent meeting came at a wrong time.

What was I going to do with those words which was spoken forth” I wondered. The look on Sophia’s face got me pondering once more, I had invited two of the pack doctors to attend to her case but it yielded no results.

All hope was lost, I was at the verge of giving up when I received an information that that seemed to calm my soothing anger.

There was a doctor who specialized in giving antidotes to deadly poisons.

All I wanted was the lively sister once more.

I would go to any length in order to allow her to be healthy.

I related the information to my beta and he was shocked about the information, he had this confused and perplexed look on his face.

I understand the angle from where he was looking at the situation.

I knew he had read from history that the pack I had assigned him to, was the same pack that we had rivalry with for several centuries.

Our pack had never involved itself in any peaceful negotiation with them, yet I was soliciting for their help, I needed the help or their pack doctor in order to look into my sister’s case.

I knew it was a great risk that I am taking, but I am willing to take the risk in order for Sophia to get back on her feet.

I was in great distress as I await the response from my Beta. I heaved a sigh of relief when I sighted the duo (my Beta and the pack doctor) coming.

The pack doctor came and tension arose between us, on a normal day it was not so but for the sake of Sophia I had to take the dreadful risk.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The pack doctor and my Beta entered the throne room. I stood at the entrance of the throne room gazing at the pack doctor.

The doctor met my gaze and he trembled. Sophia opened her eyes and met both of us in a tensed situation.

She communicated to me with her eyes as I averted my eyes from the pack doctor, he felt a little bit relieved.

He made some diagnosis and began to prepare the medicine. I was alert, my cold gaze pierced through his eyes as he was trembling at my gaze.

I knew that my sister will not be happy with me if she find out that I had threatened the innocent doctor.

I placed my documents in front of me and began to read through the document, although my gaze was still on him.

Sophia opened her eyes as I could see from her eyes that she was extremely weakened.

She was my sore spot, the valiant wolf which I had known several centuries ago was nowhere to be seen.

He gave her the medicine to drink and she drank the medicine. I noticed that she had regained strength after she had drank the medicine.

My face was brightened but I hid the smile that threatened to come out of my lips, I was glad that she had recovered a bit of her strength.

I turned towards the pack doctor and noticed he was shivering, I went towards where he stood and he stood rooted in his spot.

I could tell from his expression that he was scared of me.

I chuckled to myself, “was I seen as a tyrant in his eyes” I wondered.

I didn’t want to make him scared than he already is so I did the only thing I could do in order to appreciate him for the care he had tendered to Sophia.

I bowed to him, his legs grew weak and he knelt to the floor

“Please, don’t kill me” He said.

I looked at him as I was confused about the situation, “Did he think that I bowed down to him because I wanted to kill him” I pondered.

“wait a minute…. How did he come to the conclusion that he would die by my sword”

This was not the avenue to think on this things as the pack doctor was still on his knees.

“Rise” I said

He rose to his feet as his head was bowed, Different thoughts ran through me as I wondered how I was going to initiate a conversation with him.

I cleared my throat and began

“Sorry for my earlier attitude but it was not my intention to harm you”

He looked at me, surprise was in those eyes of his. He raised his head and he met my emotionless eyes, this caused him to be afraid once more.

I controlled my emotions and said in a calm voice

“How is she?”

“She’s recovering, although the antidote that I gave her will not be able to get rid of the poison in her body” He said

He took a deep breath and continued

“The poison had taken root in her body, the only cure to her current predicament is the usage of traditional herbs”

I looked at him and he looked like he had words to say but he did not want to say it out.

Sophia opened her eyes as her eyes were no longer weak but had a little bit of strength in them

“Go on, he won’t bite” she said

“There’s a traditional healer that lives at the outskirt of your pack my Lord, she’s a kind of eccentric being so it might be a little bit difficult to visit her”

“In what aspect” I asked.

“She believes in fate, her treatment is free, but she would attend to you if your fates align” He replied.

I pondered on the information that I had just heard. He brought me out of my reverie by saying

“I would take my leave now, my Lord”

I waved my hands and he hurriedly left my presence.

I had found a new hobby – I wanted to know more details about the eccentric lady.
