Chapter 142
Lola’s POV
I couldn’t believe my ears and looked at Adrian in disbelief. Could it be that he mistook it for something else. “What do you mean by that? I’m sure you must be mistaken, there can’t be such consequences ” I said as I shook my head in disbelief.
“That’s why I’m asking you who gave you such an idea, Lola”, Adrian said angrily and I took a step back from him. “I want to go home“, I whispered.
“Are you for real now?” He asked in disbelief and I nodded my head. “Yes, I want to go home now. Please “, I added the latter as a broken whisper and he did not say another word before going to a corner of the tent to bring out new set of clothes for us.
He gave me a sweatshirt and short that smelled like him with a simple “put this on“. I reluctantly took them from him and slowly changed into the clothes he gave me.
I wasn’t expecting such a twist“, Jasmine said. “Why did Selene ask us to mate in our wolves form if it has such consequences?” She asked again but kept quiet when I had no answer for her.
“We’re leaving now“, Adrian announced and took the lead while I
followed behind him. He was cold and obviously hurt but I just couldn’t tell him that the moon goddesss told me to.

I needed to talk to Selene first.
“Wait“, I called out and he stopped in his tracks. “Are we just going to leave all of these here?” I asked and watched his shoulder drop in disappointment.
“I’ll take care of my own problems, Lola“, he said my name with an icy tone and it felt like my heart was being crushed in my chest.
“But we used it together, I should help you clean it up a bit“, I tried to argue. “The one thing I need help with, you refused me. Don’t act like you care“, and with that, he went out of the tent.
I clutched my chest and tried to breathe through my mouth. I was angry and hurt but my anger wasn’t directed towards Adrian. It was mostly at Selene for telling me to do something that could potentially ruin my relationship and at me for being a fucking coward and not being able to tell the truth to my mate.
I left the tent with my shoulder hunched and saw Adrian waiting outside. My heart soared with hope and I moved towards him. I felt like I had been punched in the guts when he turned and started walking back the way we came.
“At least, he cares enough to wait for us“, Jasmine said in a sad voice and I sighed. It was meant to be a perfect night and I ruined it.
I tried to reach him through our mindlimk but he had it put up. I contemplated faking a fall but stopped at the last moment. That wouldn’t be fair to him and I already did enough for tonight.
I wasn’t expecting Rose to be awake by the time we got back to the house, but there she was, wide awake and excited when I walked in
through the door.
Her smile vanished when she saw the look on my face and I almost burst into tears there and then. Adrian went upstairs without acknowledging anyone and Rose looked between the stairs and I before walking towards
- me.
“Pumpkin, how was your date? Why are you back so late? Adrian told me to have the door open for you, I just decided to stay awake till you get back but everything doesn’t seem well between you. What happened, Lola?” She asked with concern evident in her voice.
“I fucked up, Rose. Royally“, I said and hugged her before moving towards the stairs, unshed tears shining in my eyes. “We’ll talk about it well in the morning“.
She looked like she wanted to say something but decided against it before nodding and bading me goodnight.
I got to the room, thinking that he’ll be there and probably less angry but the room was empty. So was the closet and bathroom.
I sniffed the air and it led me to my former room. I tried to open the door but it was locked and that was my undoing. Tears cascaded down my cheeks rapidly and I held my chest from the force of the pain.
I knocked but there was no reply, yet I could hear his uneven breathing which indicated that he was still awake.
“Ad…..Adrian“, I called out but I was met with total silence. “Adrian, please. Can you at least answer me? Just talk to me, please” I pleaded at the door but still nothing.

“You can lash out at me all you want but this silence is killing me“, I managed to get out through my tears. “Please talk to me“. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
I heard ruffling on the other side of the door and heard his footsteps coming towards the door. I was expecting him to open the door but he didn’t.
“My silence is killing you but you refused to answer my own questions? How is that fair?” He said, his voice breaking which indicated that he’s been crying making me cry harder.
“I can’t, Adrian. I really can’t. I just need you to trust me on this one“, I said hoping to convince him but it had the opposite effect.
“Trust? Did you just say trust?” He asked angrily before he opened the door. I paused at the sight of him and my tears flowed again.
His hair was ruffled like he ran his hands through it multiple times, his cheeks were stained with tears and his eyes looked so hurt.
I caused that.
I tried to touch his face but he pulled back from me, making my hands drop to my side.
“You don’t get to do that? I don’t think I want to be touched by a woman that doesn’t trust me enough to confide in me. You know I’ll burn the earth to the ground if you asked, Lola. Why are you making me feel like I never do enough or I’m not good enough for you?” He asked, pain evident in his voice and I cried harder than I already was, yet I refused to utter a word.
“I see that you’re not going to utter a word“, he sniffled and his eyes

hardened. “I’m not having any conversation unless it will bring answers “. And with that he shut the door in my face.
I didn’t even bother to knock on the door anymore, it was obvious that only my answers would bring peace to our bond.
I staggered and made my way to our room. Without bothering to undress, I searched my soul for the thin thread that tethered me to Selene and tugged on it.
I did not manage to reach the bed before I was thrown into darkness and lost consciousness.
