Chapter 123
Lola’s POV
All air left me and I sat back in my chair with a sigh. I knew we were dealing with a psychopath but I did not know she was so unhinged that she killed her own mother.
“When I saw that she killed mother, I stabbed her through the heart with a poisonous stake and that was how I killed her”, she said and we all looked at her wide eyed. She must have thought we were judging her because she held her head and started muttering herself.
“I never wanted to hurt her, I swear I wasn’t going to kill her. I just couldn’t stop myself as I drove the stake through her heart. She fell before me,she did. I watched her take her last breath as her blood spurrted from her chest and drenched me. She looked me in the eyes and tried to wrench herself from me but I kept the stake inside her as her blood drained from her b*dy and pooled at our feet”, she hiccuped and tried to curl into herself like it could make her escape the memories plaguing her.
I moved closer and gently took her hands in mine, squeezing lightly to provide some form of support to her and she looked up at me. Her tear stricken face broke something in me and I pulled her to me. I hugged her tightly, she fisted my clothes and sobbed quietly in to my chest.
“And I thought she was a b itch”, Jasmine said in my head and I almost screamed out loud at her lack of sympathy. “She’s obviously going through something, so, shut your big mouth”, I snapped at her.
She huffed and mumbled something along the lines of “if she wasn’t a bit ch, I wouldn’t have said so”, but I ignored her and focused on Serena

“That’s quite touching and all but did you bury her after killing her or what happened? It doesn’t just make any sense that she was staked and
alive. Make it make sense”, Lyla said from where she was sitting and I almost lunged at her to whack her across the head but I refrained from doing so.
“She’s trying to get her thoughts together, Lyla”, I laid emphasis on the Lyla and she rolled her eyes at me.
“You don’t have to be mean about it”, I told her through our mindlink. “Her psychopathic sister died and came alive miraculously. She has some sort of connection to the psy cho that almost took you away from me, from us and you want us to be calm and wait for her to calm down. She should man the f uck up and let’s find solution to this right now”, she said angrily in my head.
I looked towards her but she refused to look at my face as she brewed with anger, her b*dy posture rigid and her face looked like she could explode at any point.
I sighed and just turned towards Serena that was hiccuping slightly. “It’s fine. She’s right, Lola. There’s no point crying over what had happened in the past. What matters now is getting a solution to what happened”, she said, her voice scratchy from crying too much.
“So what happened to her b*dy?” Avianca asked softly.
“She dissipated. She turned into air and I thought it was the power running through me at that point that caused it”, she said.
“It clearly isn’t the source now”, Lyla piped up. I was about to scold her again when she changed her position and looked somewhat
remorseful.

A soft “forgive me, Alpha” made me realise that Adrian was still in the room and he must have scolded her.
“It must have been the black magic that revived her because she did not look dead to me at all. Her aura was dark and she had this unhinged look in her eyes”, I said.
The room was silent, save the occasional sighs that escaped everyone once in a while.
“I promise that we’d get to the root of this but you need to rest now. Serena will be back tomorrow and alongside my trusted men, we’ll figure out a way to put an end to this”, Adrian said with a note of finality. His tone clearly gave no room for argument.
Everyb*dy nodded and they silently went out of the room after I hugged and assured Serena that everything will be settled. Lyla and Avianca pulled me into a tight hug and we had our little moment before they left the room, leaving me alone with my mate.
With a sudden movement, he pulled me against his chest and deeply breathed in my scent. Jasmine purred in my head from that simple gesture and I could feel his chest vibrating with satisfaction too.
“Urgh, your hair stinks”, he said. I looked up at him, ready to kill him with my glare when I noticed that he was smiling at me.
“Of course,he doesn’t mean it dummy”, Jasmine said in my head, making me roll my eyes at her. “I knew that, durhhhhh”, I replied to her with sass.
“I’m so glad you’re back home, baby. I thought I lost you”, he said, his voice lightly cracking ath the end. Words failed me due to the surge of emotions running through me and I just hugged him tightly.
He is my lifeline and I’m not letting go. He’s my home.

“Let’s get you well rested and comfortable, then you can tell me everything that happened”, my breath hitched at t thought of relating everything that happened to him. I did not want to hurt him.
He must have noticed that I was having a mini panic attack because he held my face in his hands and gave me a k*ss on the forehead, his l*ps lingering more that they usually would.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Whenever you’re ready”, he whispered and I nodded. Whenever I’m ready.
“Let’s get you freshened up, shall we?” He said gently and I nodded.
He led me out of the room towards our room. His scent hit me immediately he opened the door and I almost broke down again.
“Smells like home”, I breathed in deeply and turned towards him, a big smile on my face.
“It sure does”, he replied to me with a very big grin on his face. His features looked angelic and I couldn’t stop myself when I cupped his face and brought his l*ps to mine.
