Chapter 134
Lola’s POV
It was nighttime when I woke up. The room was eerily quiet and it sent chills up my spine. I automatically reached for Adrian but his space was empty and cold, indicating that he had left the bedroom for a while.
What if something had happened to him and he was suffering alone somewhere? The thoughts had barely formed in my head when I sprang up and ran out of the room, ignoring the fact that I wasn’t wearing any shoes nor decent clothes..
I just wanted to make sure he was safe.
I rushed down the stairs hoping and praying that I was just being paranoid and he was fine. My heart almost stopped in my chest. when I got to the base of the stairs and he was there in the living room, watching TV on mute while sipping on a glass of whiskey.
My knees gave out beneath me and I fell to the ground in relief. The sound seemed to jolt him out of whatever reverie he was in and he rushed to where I was.
“Fuck! Lola, baby, what’s wrong? What happened?” He asked rapidly as he held me to his chest like I was going to break anytime soon.

I heard a sound that seemed like someone was sobbing and it registered that I was the one crying. “Hey, what happened? Please, talk to me baby. I’m right here for you“, he pleaded.
He’s here. He’s here. That same word kept ringing in my head and I hung on to him for dear life. “It’s okay, my Queen. It’s okay I promise“, he kept repeating till I calmed down.
“What happened? Did you have a bad dream?” He asked me after I had calmed down and I shook my head. “You scared me, baby. What happened to you?” He gently probed me.
“You were not there when I woke up and the whole house was silent. I couldn’t hear anything either, so I got scared. I thought
I you left me all alone, I thought you had been taken away from me“, I said and fresh tears ran down my cheeks.
No one will ever take him away from me, not even the moon. goddess.
“I had to talk to Nathan about something and I did not want to wake you up. He just left a while ago so I decided to have a drink before coming back to bed“, he explained and I calmed down a bit.
I should have calmed down. The paranoia I felt dimmed all of my senses and I couldn’t hear his heartbeat nor properly smell him. I took a deep breath and his scent filled the entirety of my being, calming me down.
“I’m sorry I scared you. I’m never leaving you, I promise“, he reassured me and I nodded. I was about to open my mouth when

my stomach growled loudly, making me cover my face in embarrassment.
Adrian laughed loudly and I hit his chest. “Looks like your stomach is trying to eat itself, let’s get you fed, okay?” He said before standing up with me in his arms like I weigh nothing at all.
It wasn’t until I was in his arms that I realised how underdressed I was and I started shivering. “Are you cold?” He asked and I nodded my head.
“What were you thinking coming downstairs like this?” He looked at my feet, “and without slippers too?” I just batted my eyelashes at him.
In my defence, I wasn’t thinking. I just wanted to find my mate. “I’m sorry“, I whispered softly and held onto his shirt, feeling his body heat against mine.
He set me on one of the kitchen stools and removed his shirt. He placed the shirt on my lap before placing a kiss on my forehead.
“You’re so silly sometimes but I love you either way “, he said as he lifted his lips from my forehead and I glared at him.
“I am not silly, silly“, I hmphed and crossed my hands over my chest like a petulant child. “Yeah, yeah. Just sit down and look pretty while I whip something up for us“, he patted my head and I made to slap his hands away from my head but his reflexes were faster. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He made his way around the counter and started bringing out ingredients to make something for us. “What are you making?” I asked to fill in the silence. “Why don’t you watch and see, you curious thing“, he replied to me with a smile.
I rolled my eyes at him before making myself comfortable watching him.
He moved around with the grace of a cat. His muscles contract nicely everytime he moves them. Even though I just had him that afternoon, I could feel myself getting turned on by seeing him do such tasks.
What is wrong with me??
“Our mate looks so hot right now “, Jasmine said in my head, “I want to jump his bone“, she squealed excitedly, making me chuckle.
“What’s so funny, baby?” He asked me and I shrugged. “You know I can hear you right?” He pointed to his head and I immediately put my block up.
I shouldn’t be so careless around him, not in crucial times like this. We could have talked about what the moon goddess said and he would have caught on. I can’t have anyone interfere with my plans.
Soon, he finished cooking and served me food. It smelled
heavenly and even tasted better. He watched me while I ate. I
even offered him some of my food but he refused and made sure I ate everything he put on my plate.

After being stuffed to the point of not being able to move, he cleared my plate and cleaned up. Rose doesn’t like a dirty kitchen and she’ll be pissed if she finds her kitchen in a mess the next day.
I offered to help him but he gave me a glare that had me glued to my seat.
A thought suddenly occurred to me. “Are we still going on a date tomorrow?” I asked him and he nodded his head. “Of course we’re going. I will never pass up a chance to spend time with you“, he replied with a smile that made my heart race.
Tomorrow then, I’ll start putting my plans into action.
