Chapter 122: Chapter 122

I should’ve said no, I knew that. I wanted to stay away from Adrian and staying with him wasn’t exactly fulfilling that mission. But I just couldn’t say no to him, not with the way his eyes pleaded me. I gently nodded and he sighed in relief before carrying me again and walking me up the steps.

Before I knew it we were in his room, and he set me gently on the bed, as if I was some treasure, before he climbed in with me. And as he circled his arms around me and pulled me to him, the exhaustion finally hit me and I found my eyes drifting closed, somehow knowing that this would be the most peaceful sleep I’d ever have.

Her breathing evened out and soft snores told me she was asleep. I stared at her determined yet vulnerable face and felt my heart thump with emotion. If she only knew how much she had scared me, how much I was so close to losing it. Thɪs chapter is updated by novｅlfire.net

I couldn’t get the image out of my head, her struggling to stay on the surface, the sound of her gasps as she kept swallowing water, drowning slowly. I was in the lake before I knew it and immediately grabbed her..

I looked down and noticed we were both still soaked,. I got up and debated changing her clothes, if I didn’t she could get sick but if I did she’d get mad. I decided I would handle the consequences in the morning. I walked to her and helped her as she sat up with her eyes still closed. I kept my eyes on her face as I took off her shirt. I brought one of my shirts and put i on her, again without looking at anything but her face.

I smiled as I looked at her, the shirt reached her knees and was impossibly large on her. I unbottened her pants from under the shirt and pulled them down. I closed my eyes so I wouldn’t look at her legs and when I was done I tucked her in the bed and put her clothes in the hamper.

I walked back to the room and took off my pants and shirt, changing my boxers for dry ones. I normally slept only in my boxers but I knew she’d freak out if she woke up to see me like that so I put on some pj bottoms and climbed back into bed, immediately wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her to me. I took a breath, inhaling her scent and felt my wolf purr. It was finally resting a bit after the incident, now that it’s mate is near him.

I moved some stray strands from her face and smiled a bit at her sleeping face. God, she was beautiful. I let my eyes close, knowing that this would be one of the nights I’d sleep peacefully, with my mate in my arms.

I woke up and for the first time in a long time I wanted just to get back to the most comfortable sleep I’ve ever had.

I cuddled closer to the warmth surrounding me and sighed. It was a chuckle that made me reluctantly open my eyes.

The first thing I noticed was a muscular chest and I frowned before the previous day finally came back to me. I gasped and tried to get away but Adrian’s arms around my waist prevented me from doing so.

"Good morning to you too" Adrian’s husky voice said and I looked up at him, God he looked good in the morning. Whereas I always look like a walrus.

"Morning" I said and then, needing an excuse to get up "I need to pee"

Adrian smirked and let me go and I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and suppressed a groan, as expected I looked like crap. I pressed a hand to my head as a headache surface.

I frowned and looked down at my clothes and gasped as I noticed I wasn’t wearing anything but a shirt. So that means that Adrian helped me change my clothes which means he saw me in my underwear.

I walked out of the bathroom to scold him but the words died on my mouth once I saw him by his closet shirtless. I guess I didn’t really notice once I woke up but now as I saw his muscles flex with his movement, I couldn’t talk.

"I can feel you staring" Adrian said as he turned around with a grin and walked over to me. He stopped when he was inches away from me "you know you look amazing in my clothes"

"Yeah right" I said sarcastically and turned my head away from his gaze but he grabbed my chin gently and raised my head so I can look at him.

"really" he said and cupped my cheek and subconsciously I found myself leaning into his touch. "How can you not see how beautiful you are?" My breathing hitched at the way his touch made me feel.

"I-I" I stuttered and ten without even thinkng "How do you do that?" Adrian looked at me in confusion "How do you make me feel like that?"

"Like what?" he asked as I realized what I had asked and a blush made its way to my cheeks "How exactly do I make you feel Nate?" He placed his free hand on my waist

"L-like" I swallowed "Like a person cut in half" I looked him in the eye "Looking fot the part that’s gone" I shook my head letting out a breath "How do you do that?"

Adrian stared at me,his thumb gently caressing my cheek "because you do the same to me" he said
