Chapter 119
Adrian’s POV
It’s been almost a week since Lola got kidnapped but it felt like eternity to me. My whole life had been turned upside down and I had no idea. how I was going to move on with my life without her. Daxon wasn’t on a rampage anymore but I could feel him sl*pping away. He connected with Jasmine more and it was quite understandable that he would get more affected.
After I was hit with a tranquilizer, I woke up with silver chains around my wrist and legs and I was chained to the floor of the dungeon. Nathan was nearby, looking at me with sadness in his eyes and I allowed my tears to flow. I cried so hard like I had never done before in my life, I asked Nathan how long I was out for and he said 2 days. They had gone out to search everywhere for Lola but to no avail. Some were not even back yet but there were no positive responses from them.
I could still feel our mate bond and that was the only thing that gave me assurance. Feeling the mate bond was the only proof I had that she was still alive and well, even though the mate bond weakened with every passing moment. I was trying to be strong but I blamed myself for her kidnap.
If only I had gone with her that day, I promised to stand by her no matter what happened but she ended up being taken under my nose. I should have known something was up when Lotana that had stopped speaking to her and the other girl’s suddenly wanted to speak to her. I should have left what I was doing and gone to her immediately.
I hit my head on the table in front of me and threw the glass of whiskey I was drinking across the room, the sound of it shattering mirroring
how I felt inside of me. The door opened quietly and I raised my head, ready to tear apart whoever came to disturb me after I had given clear orders to be left alone. My rage subsided when I saw Mom
She had lost so much weight and she didn’t look like her normal self I could say that she was affected more by Lola’s disappearance than I was. They had bond and I could see that she saw her as Ariana. Losing her to the rogues must have brought back memories she wished to bury She had to go through the same pain without her mate by her
side
I pulled myself together and stood up to help her into the room. “Why are you moving around, Mom?” I asked her but she didn’t say anything She just stared into space and a lone tear ran down her left cheek. I wiped her eyes and hugged her close to me.
“I shouldn’t have pushed her to reach her full potential”, she started. “I should have protected her with everything in me. So what if she’s the moon wolf, she’s just a child and only the moon knows what that bastard might do to her”, she was sobbing at this point.
I wanted to comfort her but I had no words. I was so broken and all I wanted was to hold her in my arms again. “You need to find her”, Mom raised her her head from my chest and looked up at me. “you need to find her and bring her back to the safety of our pack”, she said as tears rolled down her eyes and it hurts me to look at her puffy eyes and red face.
“I promise you Mom, I promise that I’m going to bring her back safe. She’ll be back before you know it but I’m sure she wouldn’t want to meet you in this kind of condition, she’ll be heartbroken”, I said, trying to convince her to actually sleep and take care of herself.
She nodded and went back to putting her head on my chest. “Avianca. where are you?” I asked her through the mindlink and she replied me almost immediately. “Why is Mom walking around when you’re
supposed to be taking care of her ? I hid to keepony strom because she was doing me a fat oo and I didnd sound to be pude to buy
to
“Thank goddess she’s with you I’ve been soudung all around for bag. her panicked voice came through the mundlink “I went baget ha something to cat and she wasn’t in her room dulum bork 1 mes just about to mindlink you when your voice breathed marchel
”
“Thank you. Avianca I’ll take her to her room”. I told her bedors cutting off the mindlink “Let’s get you into bed Mom”, I told her bod
be she shook her head, “Lola will soon be back and she wouldn’t meet you in this kind of situation”, I said, hoping to the men grze that she’d actually be back to us
After a bit of hesitation, she agreed that I should take her to her rom to he down. After she ate and used her drug she fell asleep and that was when I finally left her room followed by Avianca
“I’ll take my leave now, Adrian”, she said. Yes, we’ve potten closer since Dad passed but losing Lola made us get closer. What a terrible way to get really close to people. I nodded my head and waited till she left the house before taking a seat on a couch in the living room
I felt someone trying to talk to me through my mindlink and let down my wall. “Hey, man”, Nathan’s voice came through and I sighed. “Is there any development yet?” I asked him but he remained silent and I just knew what the answer to that was. I put up my wall again and placed my head in my hands.
Was I going to just lose my mate like that?
I stood up to get alcohol to drink again when the door of the house suddenly slammed open. Before I could turn, I already knew who it was. I turned around and I saw my mate at the door looking d*rty and
tattered
Her white hair was brown and her b*dy looked like it hasn’t been washed in days. She looked completely different but I know my mate no matter what she looked like. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t moving towards her till she called my name.
“Adrian”.
I broke out of my trance and ran towards her, hugging her tightly in my arms. “Baby”, I said in a broken voice and she smiled at me weakly.
“Hey, it’s okay. I’m here now”, she said and her b*dy went limp in my embrace.
