Lola’s POV
When I opened my eyes, I saw Adrian sitting on the sofa, casually reading through some documents and I was perplexed.
Was I not out of it for long? I made to get out of bed which brought his attention to me. He smiled at me and dropped the document in his hands before striding over to me calmly.
“Look at who finally decided to wake up“, he teased me with a smile on his face and I became confused. “Huh? Was I out of it for long?” I asked him. “Not really, you were just asleep for 2 days“, he said like it was the most normal thing in the universe.
“And you’re not worried or something?” I asked him in confusion. “The moon goddess came to me“, he said as he sat down beside me and held my hands in his.
I looked at him in shock but he smiled at me. “Selene came to you?” I asked, my confusion and shock clearly written over my face and he nodded, his smile still evident on his face. “But why?” I asked him.
Don’t get me wrong, I was glad they did not panic nor worry over me, I had already caused too much trouble lately. But, I also wanted to know how he could communicate with Selene and why she’s suddenly showing herself to him.
The whole encounter with her and her telling me I would have to pay

with my soul but she did not give me any tangible information to work with has made me paranoid. What if Adrian will be harmed instead?
I knew he’d lay down his life without giving it a second thought, he was that selfless. I don’t think I’ll be able to forgive myself if he left me behind. He’s the reason I’m trying so hard to save everyone, I won’t be able to continue living if I lost him.
“Apparently, I now have access to her since we mated and my eyes changed colors“, he pointed to his eyes which showed that he was one with his wolf. Something that only I had before and I calmed down a bit.
Judging from the way he was speaking too, he had no idea what Selene told me and I planned to keep it that way:
Selene also said we have to mate in our wolf form and I wasn’t sure how that was going to work. As much as I wanted to spend so much time with my mate, I also knew that we do not have time to waste.
Damon is unhinged and having a very unhinged Alysia as his ally will only decrease our chances of winning if a war is brought upon us, unprepared.

“Adrian, I want to ask you something“, I said and he looked up at me expectantly. “Do you think we can……. I was unable to finish my words because the door slammed open and Rose came in.
Her eyes were sad and she looked dejected until she saw me. Her eyes lit up and she ran towards me. She hugged me with so much force, I thought I was going to pass out from not being able to breathe.
“R–ro–ose–e“, I managed to wheeze out but she did not let go. She kept muttering words like, “thank goddess you’re alive“, “I’m glad you’re back

to us“, under her breath.
“She’s not going to be alive for long if you keep holding her like that, Mom“, Adrian said from behind us and that was when she let me go.
“Oh
my goddess“, she exclaimed, “did I hurt you?” She kept checking me all over even though there was a smile on my face. “I’m sorry, pumpkin. I was just excited to see you“, she said as she held my face in her soft, motherly hands.
I patted her hands as my smile widened. “You were not hurting me, Rose. Adrian over there just worries a lot“, I assured her and she seemed relieved.

“Baby, you were almost turning blue“, Adrian said through our mindlink and I mentally rolled my eyes. “She just excited to see me and you stopped her just in time, I don’t see the problem here. She’s not going to hurt me and you know it“, I told him but he just crossed his hands over his chest and hmphed.
Real mature.
“You must be really hungry, no?” She asked and my stomach chose that moment to growl in response. “I thought as much“, she said, “I’ll whip up something real quick. Just clean up and come downstairs to eat“, she pinched my cheeks and I nodded happily.
“Of course, Rose. I’ll be just a minute“. She stood up and looked at Adrian sternly.
“I believe you heard me say I was going to cook?” She asked and Adrian nodded his head slowly. “I wonder why you’re not in the kitchen yet“,

she said and Adrian grumbled under his breath.
“Did you say something?” She raised her eyebrows at him and he shook his head. “No, mom. I said I’ll be so honored to help you cook up a feast that we will end up not eating, for my mate“, he said with a smile and I burst out laughing.
Those two are so cute and my heart ached slightly at the thought of having to lose both of them because of my personal gain.
“Wanting to live and be with our mate is not a personal gain, Lola“, Jasmine said sadly in my head, “we deserve everything good that life has to offer“, she finished.

“You know deep down that we’d not even have anyone to be happy with if we don’t make this sacrifice“, I replied to her and it took a lot for me to not show any signs of physical pain.
All I wanted to do was scream and hit my chest where it hurt but I couldn’t.
I felt Adrian poking at our mindlink and let down my wall. “You seem to be having an internal battle, are you okay, baby?” He asked gently and I had to smile at him because I did not trust myself to not break down if I said anything.
He squinted his eyes at me but dropped the matter anyway. “And the question you wanted to ask me?” He asked. “Later, baby“, I told him and a huge smile took over his face.
He was about to say something again when Rose came back into the room to drag him by his ears. He could have easily refused but he
allowed himself to be dragged anyway and that brought tears to my eyes.
I’m going to miss this. I’m going to miss them, but I’d rather protect them than lose them and be all alone in this cruel world again. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
I stood up to shower before I allowed my emotions to overwhelm me. While cleaning up, I made up my mind.
One week. I’ll just be a normal girl that is happy with her mate for a week. Life, or should I say Fate, can throw anything at me after that.
