Chapter 20
Adrian’s POV
I woke up the following morning after Grayson came to my pack feeling like shit. I realized just how bad I had been
treating Lola. I desperately wanted her to have fault so I could reject her but she was so perfect.
“So perfect for us. The moon goddess wouldn’t pair us with someone that’s not perfect for us“, Daxon said in my head and for the first time since I met Lola, I agreed with him.
Events of yesterday came rushing back to me and I felt my heart break more. The way her eyes seeked mine for validation and support immediately she entered the room even though I desperately wanted her to be the one at fault so I could kick her out of my pack.
Her cries after I left the room kept haunting me. I was the reason for her heartbreak, I was the reason for her tears and agony. What kind of a mate does that to his fated one?
I could not bear the guilt that I had treated her like trash when I should have been her support system, so I went out on a run to clear my head.
“I knew you were making a grave mistake, human. I’m sure what we saw is not even half of what she has gone through. Mate was so broken, yet you stormed out of the pack house without even comforting her? I don’t know how I got paired with a stupid human like you“, Daxon growled loudly in my
head and I did not even have a comeback for him, because I knew I fucked up royally.
I kept running through the forest in my human form. I had cuts from trees and sharp stones but I did not stop. The physical pain was nothing compared to what I was feeling inside.
After running for about an hour, I decided to open my mindlink and I regretted it immediately I did. Mom’s voice rang through my head in anger and I almost stumbled back from the anger in her voice.
“Adrian, you better get the fuck here in a blink of an eye. Do not make me come after you, young man“, she said and the mindlink went silent.
Sighing, I made my way back to the house ready to face
mom’s wrath and then apologize to Lola afterwards. I took a deep breath and opened the door, only to pause a little once I entered the house.
Mom was sitting on the couch while Dad held her hands and tried to pacify her. Once she locked eyes with me, I almost stumbled back but I maintained my stance as much as I could.
“And what exactly do you think you’re doing, Adrian? I understood that you had problems accepting her because she was a rogue. Why did you leave your traumatized mate alone when she needed you the most. Why did you allow that stupid mutt and his friend go scot free when they should have gone. back in a b*dy bag?” She asked calmly and I knew Ezra was in control.
“I needed time, Mom. I needed to clear my head and get my thoughts together. I planned to apologize her when I got
back. Where is she?” I asked, looking around the room and towards the stairs when I couldn’t find her. Her scent lingers around but it was very faint.
“I wouldn’t want to be near an idiot like you if I were her. She’s at the pack house, you can make all your apologies in the morning“, she said venomously. I’ve only seen mom like that once and the anger wasn’t directed at me.
Mom stormed off leaving Dad and I alone in the living room. Dad came near me and gave me a pat on the shoulder.
“I hope she’s ready to take you back. I told you that girl should be cherished and loved“, he said lowly before he went after his wife.
Taking a moment to pull my act together, I made my way up. the stairs and went down the hallway instead of going into my own room. Her scent engulfed me and I felt even worse that I already did.
Her fragile b*dy came to mind and I genuinely wondered what she keeps under her long clothings. I hoped that bastard Grayson did not touch her or I’d have his pack wiped out.
With her on my mind and her scent engulfing me, I went to bed and woke up in the early hours of the morning. I woke up with the determination to win her back and love her the way she should be loved.
“It’s about time you finally came to your senses. We should go and see mate immediately this morning, you’ve deprived me of my mate for so long“, Daxon yipped happily in my head, earning a chuckle from me. Who would have thought the big bad Alpha wolf is like a puppy when it comes to his mate.
“You don’t wanna scare her with your excitement when we see her, Dax. She still doesn’t trust us“, I said through the mindlink, earning me a scoff.
“I wonder whose fault that is“, I could feel him rolling his eyes and I shook my head in amusement. Petty b*tch.
I went to work out to relief myself of my anxiety. I worked out for about 2 hours before I decided to go wash up. Daxon keot on pestering me to go and see Lola so I blocked him out.
about an hour ago.
To be very honest, I’m anxious and maybe a little scared that she’d reject me after the way I treated her yesterday. I had my bath and dressed up to go and see her at the pack house.
I met Mom in the kitchen but she totally ignored me. Just great. I’m starting to think my parents wished she was their child instead of me.
On entering the pack house, people greeted me and I nodded in acknowledgement but there was only a certain blue eyed beauty on my mind.
Walking further into the pack house, I smelt her before I saw her but the scene before me made my blood boil and I let out a thunderous growl.
She jumped back from the man she was hugging and I saw that it was one of my warriors. I resisted the urge to move closer to them and snap off the guy’s n*eck. Instead, I said something that I’d regret for years to come.
“Maybe your former Alpha was right after all. You’re just a slut that’s not worthy of love“, I said in hurt and anger.
