Chapter 124
Adrian’s POV
Her lips molded perfectly with mine and it felt like I was just kissing her for the first time. I pulled her impossibly close to me with the intention of never letting her go.
She moaned softly into the kiss and all the blood in my body rushed to my d ick. Damon growled in my head and it took all of my willpower to not throw her against the bed and f uck her the way I wanted to.
The image of her naked body that that son of a bi tch sent to me flashed in my head and I held on to her with every fibre of my being. I feared that she would disappear if I stopped holding on to her like that.
“Adrian, you can let me go now. I promise that I’m not going to dissipate into the air”, her angelic voice reached my ears and I opened my eyes that I didn’t even know I was closing.
I looked down and saw that my fingers were still digging into her waist. I removed my hands and moved back from her, ignoring the look of hurt in her eyes.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I did not know that I was holding on so tight. I did not know that I was holding you. I would never hurt you, you know that right?” I rambled and held my head.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
How could I have been so blind and stu pid? She just got back from being held captive and I was still hurting her. What kind of a mate am I? How could I do such a thing?
Soft hands took my hands in theirs and I looked at my beautiful mate’s face.

“Hey, hey baby. Look at me”, she cooed softly like she was talking to a baby and I calmed down to really look at her.
Her eyes were sunken and she looked malnourished. The light in her eyes was dimmed and I blamed myself for it. I was about to spiral into the depths of my thoughts again until one of her hands cupped my chin…
“Don’t you dare!” She said with a stern voice but her eyes were soft. “I promise that you were not hurting me. I needed that touch. I needed that assurance that I was really here”, she said and I felt like I could breathe.
“He…….he…I…..he-I….. he almost but I couldn’t……..I tired to……he almost….” She tried to speak but she was having difficulty putting her thoughts into words.
“Baby, you don’t have to push yourself. You can tell me whatever this is when you are ready”, I told her but she shook her head.
“I want to get it off my chest”, she said with a breaking voice. “Come, let’s sit”, I gently guided her towards our bed.
She crawled into my laps and buried her face into the crook of my neck making Daxon purr in satisfaction. He actually purred like a cat.

“At least I’m not the one with the visible bo ner”, he said and I wanted to pull a trigger on that f ucker. “Too bad I’m a part of you”, he mocked but I ignored him and focused on the beautiful woman in my arms.
She took several deep breaths to steady myself. I was about to tell her it wasn’t necessary for her to tell me when she started talking.
“He tried to rape me”, she blurted out and started crying. My body stiffened and I was unable to react. The image of her naked body being molested without her being able to do anything flashed behind my eyes

and I could almost smell that f ucker’s blood.
Vivid images of him being ripped to shreds by Daxon were running through my head and it took all my willpower to not leave Lola right there and find that bas tar d to give him the slow, painful death he deserved.
Her shaking body and soft so bs brought me back to the present. I held her closer to my chest and rubbed her back soothingly.
“I was lonely. I was scared. He wasn’t going to stop if I had not pushed him back with my power”, she hiccuped as she tried to speak through
her tears.
I was gritting my teeth so hard, I was surprised they were still intact in my mouth. This bas ta rd is going to pay with his blood and it won’t be an easy one for him.
“The look in his eyes was maddening and frightening. What if I had no powers? What if I was just like every other woman there? What if I couldn’t defend myself?” She asked before breaking down uncontrollably.
“I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to stop this from happening to you. He’ll pay with his blood, I promise “, I said through gritted teeth. My anger was rising and I didn’t want her to feel any negative emotions from me. She already had enough.
“You’re not mad at me?” She looked at me in disbelief and I felt my heart drop to the pit of my stomach. “Did you think so low of me? Baby”, I cupped her chin and made her look me in the eyes, “it wasn’t your fault. I’d never be mad at you”, I said with a heavy heart.
“She thinks lowly of us, we need to do more as a mate”, Daxon whimpered in my head and I couldn’t help but agree with him.

“I’m sorry, Adrian. I’d never allow any other man to touch me inappropriately. I swear on my life that I love you and I’d never do anything to hurt you”, she rambled on while looking at me with an emotion I couldn’t quite place in her eyes.
“You’re hurting me right now, baby”, I told her softly. “I’m so hurt that you think I’ll blame you for what happened to you”.
She tried to speak but I placed my fingers against her lips. “I love you, Lola. I’d do anything for you, even if it meant putting my life on the line for you”, her eyes softened at that and she hugged me tightly.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry”, she kept repeating so I placed a kiss on her forehead.
“You can only be forgiven if you do something for me right now “, I told her. She gently raised her head from my chest to look at me in question.
“I’m going to prepare a bath for you right now and you’re going to allow me to wash you myself”, she looked at me like I had grown
another head.
“But I can wash myself….

she started to go against me, so I placed a
chaste kiss on her lips to shut her up. “You’re trying to earn my
forgiveness, I don’t think you have a say”, I told her with a smile and she rolled her eyes playfully at me.
“Of course. Anything my Alpha wants, my Alpha gets”, she said with a grin and my heart melted.
I gently placed her on the bed and made my way to our bathroom, one thought on my mind.,
That son of a b itch will pay for what he did but I need to take care of my mate first.
