Chapter 79 

Lola’s POV 

Not again. This psychopath is really messing with me. 

“You should go upstairs and rest, baby“, Adrian said and I looked at him like he’s grown another head. “Is he fucking with us right now?” Jasmine asked. “He must have forgotten why this is happening“, I replied to her. 

“I should go upstairs?“I asked him incredulously and he nodded unsurely. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Adrian. Should I remind you why all these is happening again?” I asked, my voice rising with every word. 

“It’s already late and it might be a trap. I don’t want you to……“, I cut him off. “One word, Adrian. I dare you to say one more word“, he looked taken aback by my words and just kept looking at me in silence. 

“If you’ve forgotten why all these keep happening, should I juggle your memory? Right now is not the time to be sentimental. People are dying, people you are supposed to rule over, that WE are supposed to rule over are dying because a motherfucking psychopath wants me and you think now is the time to be protective over the one that’s supposed to protect everyone?” I spat in his direction and he kept mute. 

“Are you going to stand there or are you going to put on some clothes so we can leave?” That question seemed to pull him out of the trance he was and he broke into a smile. 

I raised my eyebrow in question and he pulled me into a hug. “That was amazing, baby. You radiated so much power and I could not help getting turned on“, he said after he pulled back and gave me a boyish

grin. 

“I’ll just put a shirt on then we can go, tomato cheeks“, he said and went towards the stairs, leading to our room. 

Oops. I just said our room. I kinda like the sound of it. 

It did not take long before Adrian came back with a shirt on, not that it made him less sexy. He held my hand and we left the house. 

Before we got to the place where the body was found, I already smelled the scent that supposedly accompanied the rogues. 

“Adrian?” I called out to him. “Yes, baby“, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at me. “It’s the same smell. And it’s stronger this time around“, I said low enough for only his ears. “Can you lead me in the direction where you sense it’s the strongest. 

I nodded and led him away from where the warriors stood. They all looked at us in confusion but Adrian did not pay attention to them. Nathan followed behind us, probably wondering why we were wandering when there was a body to check out. 

Suddenly, I heard Nathan shout, “Adrian, to your left“. Without thinking about my next action, I pointed my hand in the direction Nathan shouted and a cry of pain was heard later. 

I had released lightning on the intruder without thinking, my mate’s safety was the most important thing then. A couple of warriors ran over to the writhing body while Adrian shielded me with his body. 

I rolled my eyes at him and Jasmine laughed in my head. “You’d think he will realize that we can handle ourselves given the fact that we just took down a rogue“, she said with a soft laugh and I agreed with her. “I swear he acts like he has amnesia sometimes“, I replied to her. 

“I can hear your thoughts and conversations, baby. Careful what you say or there might be consequences“, I heard his voice in my head and suddenly put up my wall. Oopsies. 

“Take him to the dungeon and await me“, he barked at the warrior and they all bowed to him before they left with the rogue that was still in pain. “What if he dies before we reach the dungeon?” I asked as he was being taken away, “should I just heal him?” 

“He should be able to survive it“, he replied. “Wait, we? What do you mean we?” He asked and I rolled my eyes at him for the nth time that night. I swear my eyes might become permanently glued in the eye roll motion with the way I roll my eyes around this man. 

“Yes, we. We, as in, you and I. Try to keep up, Adrian“, I said. Nathan laughed behind us but covered it with a cough. “Lola, the dungeon is not somewhere you should be, try to understand me“. 

“Do I need to remind you that that was where I spent my first night or two when I arrived in this pack?” I countered with my hand on my waist and that was what it took to shut him up. 

And that’s how you win an argument, ladies. 

We went to the pack member’s body and it was the same manner of death as the first one. He was stabbed in the neck before his heart got carved out. The heart was placed in a box with a note saying: “I see you’re already getting close to uncovering this. I can’t wait till you are mine, love“. 

A shudder ran down my spine after reading the letter but I did but allow it to show on my face. I did not want to give Adrian any excuse to make me sit out going to the dungeon. 

We soon left for the dungeon again after a thorough check of the area was done and it was found clear. My heart was beating rapidly as we

walked to the dungeon 

I felt Adrian trying to talk through our mindlink and put down my wall. “I can hear your rapid heartbeat, it’s not too late for us to go back, baby“, he said tenderly but I was obstinate. I put up my wall after declining and we moved forward. 

The air around the dungeon was heavy with despair and anguish. I took a deep breath as we entered. We had not gone far when I sighted Andrew and Natalie but I did not get to look at them for long because Adrian blocked my view. 

“You don’t need to feel bad for them. They’re getting a taste of their own medicine“, his voice rang in my head and I sighed deeply. “Were they at least given food?” I asked. I just couldn’t ignore them, they were good people at some points in my life. “I’ll see to it in the morning“, Adrian assured me and I nodded slightly. 

We got to the cell at the last end of the dungeon and the rogue was there, still writhing in pain. He looked up when he heard us enter and his face lit up when he saw me even though he was in pain. 

“I s–see th–the re–e–as–on he wou–wouldn’t st–stop loo–looking for y- you“, he managed to breathe out through his pain. “Yo–you loo–look so gorg–ge–geous‘‘, he smiled as he spoke and Adrian growled loudly but I held him back. 

“Who’s looking for me?” I asked him and he looked me straight in the eyes, “woul–wouldn’t yo–you 1-1–love to kn–know“, he said before groaning in pain. 

This is going to be a long night.
