Chapter 63 – The Moon Wolf

Adrian’s POV

I woke up with a smile and light mind. Despite what was going on, I got to sleep in the arms of my mate yesterday night. I reached out to pull her into me but I found the bed empty.

My eyes sprung open and I sat up. I looked around the room but she wasn’t there. I listened for any sound but only the sound of Mom hitting the pots together reached my hair.

She’s probably downstairs with Mom, I thought. I was a bit disappointed I did not wake up to her pretty face but I can live with that. I brushed my teeth, took a shower and dressed casually to go and have breakfast.

“Good morning, Mom”, I greeted her as I entered the dining area where she was setting the table. I was so eager to see Lola but she wasn’t there, maybe mom sent her on an errand.

“Good morning, son. Where’s Lola? I thought you guys would come down together since you spent the night together”, Mom teased and wiggled her brows suggestively but that did not really register in my mind.

“She was gone when I woke up this morning. I thought she’d -be with you”, I replied her, my heart starting to beat erratically. If she wasn’t downstairs, where could she be?

Mom stopped what she was doing and looked at me. “What do you mean she’s supposed to be downstairs? I haven’t seen her this morning either”, she said in a panicked voice.

I sniffed the air and her scent was still staring in the air. I turned around and went down to the basement, suddenly remembering that she said she wanted to start training again in the morning.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw her working out with headphones plugged on. I walked towards her and pulled her into a hug from the bag, startling her.

Before I could say a word, I was on my back and my ribs hurt like hell. She removed her headphones and placed it in a nearby bench before rushing towards me.

“Oh my goddess, I’m so sorry”, she muttered as she knelt down beside me. “Remind me to never hug you out of the blues”, I groaned out but she did not laugh. She looked super worried and kept on apologizing.

I tried to raise myself to pull her into me and stop her worrying but it was proving to be difficult. I’m an Alpha wolf which means I healed 5 times the rate other werewolves do but it was taking a while.

She placed her hands on my ribs that were hurting and looked like she was about to cry. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you”, she closed her eyes and allowed a tear to fall.

I was about to talk when a white light started emitting from her palm that was on my broken rib. She suddenly gasped and raised her head. Her eyes were glowing so bright and I got another shock of my life when my broken ribs became healed and there wasn’t any pain.

She realized what she did and pulled her hands away from my b*dy. We both looked at each other. She looked at me in question and I looked at her in pride.

“I think you’re slowly unleashing your powers, baby. You just healed me”, I said with a big grin on my face while she looked at her hands in amazement.

Unknown’s POV:

I paced my room as I awaited feedback from one of my men. The door suddenly opened and he came in. He bowed his head and I responded with a wave of my hand.

“How’s it going? Any new informations?” I asked eagerly and he nodded. “Yes, King. Her powers are developing. It’s only a matter of time before she realises her full potential”, he said with his head bowed.

E

“You can go. Keep me updated on every little thing about her. Tell the messenger that failure to uphold their end of the deal will lead to the termination of their life”, he nodded before he stepped out of my room.

Finally! It wouldn’t take long to reach her full potential, then, I’d take her and make her mine.

If only father was alive to see me come this far without his guidance, he’d have been proud of me.

Lola’s POV

Wow this is so cool, I thought as I looked at my hands in amazement. I did not mean to harm Adrian at all, he just happened to walk up to me when I was not aware of my surroundings.

He looked really hurt and my observation was confirmed when he tried to move and winced in pain. I just wanted him to be fine, I wasn’t thinking when I placed my hands on his broken ribs. I was responsible for hurting my mate and the guilt weighed me down.

I was surprised when I felt a surge of electricity run through me and white light shone from my palm. Adrian looked shocked before it changed to a look of pride.

Oh jeez, I just unlocked my powers.

I looked at my hands in amazement and looked up when I saw Adrian get up without showing signs of pain. He offered his hand to me but I hesitated in taking it.

“I don’t wanna hurt you again”, I whispered and he chuckled. “Baby, you were able to get me because I wasn’t prepared to be attacked”, he gave me a reassuring smile and I put my hand in his.

“You’re really improving, baby. Not any wolf can easily overpower me even in my relaxed state. I’m so proud of you, 0.00

baby”, he said once he pulled me up.

“I learnt from the best, so what did you expect?” I fl*pped my ponytail and we both laughed. The sound of his laughter made me want to jump his bone. He’s so perfect and amazing and I suddenly wanted to complete the mate bond.

Just because the fate of the werewolf world is in my hands doesn’t mean I can’t have a little time with my mate, right?

He must be feeling the same way too because his eye colour suddenly became a tad darker and filled with lust. He pulled me closer to him and I noticed his eyes kept going to my l*ps, making me lick them in anticipation of what’s to come.

“Don’t do that”, he whispered huskily. “Do what?” I questioned like I did not know exactly what he was talking about. “I’m going to k*ss you now, you don’t mind right?” Unable to answer because my voice betrayed me, I nodded my head.

He did not waste anymore time before he locked l*ps with me. This time around, it felt different. The rush of electricity running through me increased and I moaned into the k*ss. I did not have anything to blame this time, not the heat, not Jasmine. I was purely acting on my instincts and I was loving every moment of it.

He pulled me impossibly closer while I held onto the back of his n*eck to deepen the k*ss. We broke the k*ss after a while but he still held on to me.

“That was different”, he whispered and I nodded. I feel strange. I looked at his face and they were strange indeed. I could see hints of the blue of my eyes in his hazel one and hints of gold in his green one.

“Your eyes are strange”, I told him and led him towards a nearby mirror. “Look closely and you’ll see”, I told him. He peered into the mirror and seemed surprise when he finally saw what I saw.

“I think this was what Selene meant when she said we would grow together”, I said. He suddenly broke into a smile and turned towards me. “I now have something to always remind me of you when I look into the mirror”, he said excitedly and I got excited from his excitement.

“Mother must be wondering where I went too. She was worried when I told her I couldn’t find you when I woke up”. He said. “I told you I was going to start working out in the morning before I slept, didn’t I?” Maybe it was my imagination.
