Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Lola’s POV I pulled back and carefully held his handsome face in my hands, scrutinizing carefully while he cleaned my tears that ceased to stop flowing.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed me most. It must have been so hard”, I hiccuped before I continued talking. “You must have been so sad yet you stood by my side, I’m such a bad mate. I’m sorry for worrying you, baby, I’m so sorry”, I kept repeating while my tears fell.

“Hey, hey, it’s fine. I’m fine, you’re fine, Mom is fine”, he said, looking into my eyes with love and adoration. “Mom is fine because you risked your life for hers. No one, I repeat, no one is as lucky as I am to have you as their other half”, he kept rubbing my chin while rubbinh my arm too.

“You’re the most amazing person I know. What would I have done if I had lost both of them on the same day to the same incident. You saved. my sanity, baby, and I’ll forever be grateful for that”, he dropped a k*ss. on my forehead before he pulled back and sat on the chair he fell initially.

He refused to let go of my hands and kept looking at me like he couldn’t believe I was seated in front of him. “Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked him, feeling shy under his gaze. “Like what?” He asked, still looking at me the same way. “Like that”, I mumbled out and he chuckled. I became slightly red and looked away from him.

“Where’s Rose?”, I asked him. Just then, the door swung opened and the woman in question ran into the room. “There she is, Adrian replied <

288 Wouchers just before she got to the other side of the bed and hugged me tightly, almost cutting off my air supply.

“Rose, can’t breatheeecee”, I wheezed out when she refused to let go of me. She quickly pulled back and sat down on the bed with tears in her eyes. “You’re fine. Thank goddess you’re alive”, she rushed out. “I was scared. I was so scared that I’d lose you because you decided to save me”, her tears were flowing down her cheeks at this point.

She hit me and glared at me. “Ouch, why did you do that?” I asked, rubbing the place where she hit me. “Why did you risk your life for me like that? Why would you do that? You should have allowed me to go with Jayden. Now, I can’t leave you guys until I see that his death has been avenged”, she said, calling her fists.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting that reaction. I was expecting her to be in tears and be heartbroken but she was the total opposite of that. She was calm and doesn’t look to be grieving. If it wasn’t for the bags under her eyes and her swollen eyes, I’d have said she wasn’t grieving over her mate.

“You’re the closest person I have to a mother, Rose. If I had not done it for you, if have lived with the guilt forever. I’m so glad I was able to go that for you”, I held her hands and she nodded in gratitude.

The doctor came in and Rose stood up to make space for him while Adrian refused to let go of my hands through all of it. He said I was ready to go home and within 5 minutes, Lyla, Lotana and Avianca all arrived at the hospital. Lyla was carrying an overnight bag and I figured that it was my change of clothes that was inside it.

She looked at me and burst into tears. I removed my hand from Adrian’s and walked towards him. “Hey, it’s fine girl. I’m fine now, look at me”, I twirled in front of her. She dropped the bag she was holding and pulled me into a hug.

I was so scared, I thought I was going to lose you”, she cried into my n*eck while I gently rubbed her back, reassuring her that I wasn’t going anywhere. “I promised to be the godmother to the baby in your belly, you think I’m going to break that promise? Have some faith in my girl”, I said and she burst out laughing.

She stepped away from me and Avianca and Lolana hugged me next. “Don’t ever do that again”, Avianca said, sniffling her nose and I gave her a smile. “Is that for me?” I asked, pointing to the bag that was on the floor and they all nodded. Lotana picked it up and handed it over to me, “yeah, we’re here to take you home”.

I got out after getting changed and met everyone except Adrian sitting there expectantly. “Where did he go?” I asked. “I asked him to go and freshen up now that you’re awake. We’ll meet him at the house”, Rose answered.

We left the clinic and the atmosphere was sad. It was obvious that there was sadness in the pack. I could feel it radiating off of Rose too but she tried to be bubbly and cheery like before, although I couldn’t see the light in her eyes anymore.

Lotana was not her normal self but I chalked it up to the atmosphere in the pack. She was the most silent in the group but she was extra quict. Jayden’s death really took a toll on the pack members, he was a good Alpha after all. Lotana followed us to the house but excused herself at the door and said she had some things to attend to, so she couldn’t be a part of us.

Adrian was in the sitting room when we entered and he looked much better than he did when he was at the hospital. He had sha ved off his beards and he looked really handsome, Jasmine might have whined in my head.

She was basically purring like a kitten.

It’s time to step up and make some decisions.
