Chapter 98
Lola’s POV
“Open your eyes, Lola”, a voice said and I slowly awakened. I gasped and sat up when I saw the face behind the voice. A very beautiful woman was standing above me, her eyes were the colour of nature, a beautiful, alluring shade of green. Her hair was pure white, the same shade as the white gown she was wearing. Her skin looks milky and amazing and I was just shocked by her beauty.
“Se-selene?” I asked with a stutter and she nodded her head with a smile. “Selene? Oh my goddess. it’s really you?” I asked in a shocked manner and she laughed. “Yes, it’s me Lola”, she chuckled softly and the sound was melodious and magical to my ears.
I had never seen her face do it came as a shock to me that someone could look so magical. “She’s not human, dummy”, Jasmine said in my head making me roll my eyes at her. “Oh, shut up”, I retorted.
I remembered what I was doing before I got pulled into the darkness. “Rose. How’s she? How’s Rose? Was I able to take the venom away from her b*dy completely? Is she okay?” I asked her strings of questions rapidly and she gently put her hands on my shoulder.
“She’s fine, Lola. You did well, you saved her”, she said and I breathed a sigh of relief. She’s saved. She’s okay. I was so relieved I could cry but strangely, I did not feel the need to cry.
“Why am I here?” I asked her after a while. “You have to take a rest from the land of living. You already did too much, the wolfsbane was very strong and it could have killed you if you had held on much longer”, she explained and I nodded.

That explains why I felt like I was burning from inside out. I made to stand up but Selena held my shoulder and made me lie down. “You still need to recover, that’s why you’re in this garden”, she said.
That was when I realized that I wasn’t in the garden. I was in a room that was pure white, it was almost blinding to look at. I was on a bed that felt like heaven and I didn’t feel like standing up. I looked at my hands and it had black veins on it, identical to the ones on Rose’s b*dy.
I remembered that whenever I leave the human world, I spend a whole lot of time. “How many days is it in the human world? Adrian must be worried sick. I have to go back to him, he just lost Jayden, I don’t want him to worry over me again”, I stood up abruptly.
Selene sighed before speaking. “Yes, he’s worried sick because 3 days. already passed but you still have to make sure your b*dy is healed perfectly before you go back to the realm of te living”, she paused after saying that like she wanted the words she just spoke to sink into my head. I looked at her without saying anything and she continued what she was saying.
“You still have a whole lot of work before you, Lola. You can’t afford to be weak or unprepared when the time comes”, she said. I felt anger riding within me as she spoke. I agreed that I wasn’t prepared for the war but she has no right to tell me that I wasn’t strong enough.
“Weak?” I asked in surprise and looked at her like she’d grown another head. ‘I did not ask to be out through any of this, Selene. It’s always been placed in my hands, every f ucking thing has aleays been placed in my hands”, I raised my voice slightly at her.
“Surviving on my own after my parents died, finding my way out of the pack after being bullied and abused fot years, growing on my own after my mate almost rejected me, finding my own powers on my
own and now you say I’m weak?” I wanted to scream and cry but the most It could do was slightly raise my voice at her.

“Lola”, she tried to speak but I wasn’t having any of it. “Selene, please. I just want to go back to my mate that must be worried sick. I don’t want to leave him alone in this period. I’m sure I can rest perfectly well beside my mate, let me go back to my mate Selene”, I pleaded with her.
“I promise you that I never forsaked you in any of these moments, it was all a process to build you”, she said softly. I wasn’t going to argue. with her, I just wanted to be with Adrian so I just nodded.
“Can I go now?” I asked when I looked down at my hands and the
black veins had almost cleared out. She noticed too because see nodded. “I promise that I’m with you every step of the way”, she said. before snapping her hands at me. “Be strong, child”, I heard as I kept falling into some kind of hole.
I suddenly opened my eyes and closed it almost immediately, a groan escaping my l*ps. I slowly opened my eyes again and saw a head full of dark coloured head placed beside me on the bed, holding tightly onto my hands.
The sensation running through me indicated that it was my loving mate. The position looked uncomfortable for him since he had to bend his tall frame. I slowly carried my other hand that had IV in it and gently rubbed it over his head, ignoring the pain that ran through me.
His even breathing changed and I knew he was awake. He stiffened for a while before shooting up into a sitting position. The sudden movement made my hand that was on his head suddenly fall onto the bed without warning.
I closed my eyes and hissed in pain. I slowly lifted the hand with my free hands, trying to hold in the pain but it was hard for me. He stood up, making the chair fall back and came towards me. “Thank goddess you’re awake”, he said as he hugged me tightly while avoiding my hurt hand.

He pulled back and I could barely feel the physical pain from how much my heart hurt. Adrian’s face looked sunken and his frame looked lean. He had unkempt beards and let me tell you, I’ve never seen any form of hair on that man’s face. He looked tired and worn out.
I did not realize that I was crying until he wiped my cheeks. “Please, don’t cry. I’m fine, I promise”, he said, softly rubbing my chin. Ignoring the pain in my right hand, I pulled him into another hug while crying profusely.
It’s time to put an end to all of these once and for all.
