Chapter 130
Adrian’s POV
It was so nice to see her bickering with her friends like nothing. happened. She looked so happy but I could tell that something was wrong. Call me paranoid but I could feel it around her that she was hiding something from me.
The way she seemed to stare off into space sometimes. The little changes in her emotions. The way her eyes suddenly clouds with sadness. I just knew something wasn’t right.
“Do you think it has something to do with what the moon goddess said to us?” Daxon asked in my head. “Jasmine has been off too, I think Lola is just hiding it well. I hope to the moon that whatever she’s hiding doesn’t break us when we find out“, he said and I sighed internally.
Could it be what the moon goddess said to me?
The day after we had the shower session, I was awake earlier than I normally would and went to workout for a bit. I ended up spending more time than I intended and expected her to be awake by the time I came back but she wasn’t awake.
Thinking I overused her body, I went to prepare breakfast and brought it to her in bed but she still wasn’t awake. I wanted to wake her but I got pulled into a garden when I touched her hand.
I looked around, half expecting something to jump out at me but

everything was serene and peaceful. I wished I could stay in the garden. forever.
“Welcome Adrian“, a soft angel–like voice said from behind me and I turned to face the most beautiful creature I’ve ever laid my eyes on.
Lola will always be the most beautiful woman in my eyes but something about this woman screams supernatural. She was ethereal and perfect, not a single thing out of place around her.
“Have we met? A great grandmother or something?” I asked and she laughed heartily. “Who knew you could be this funny?” She said, still laughing slightly and I felt very silly.
“Way to go human“, Daxon teased and I became slightly red. I’m not always like this, what is wrong with me?
“I’m not your great grandmother, Adrian“, the woman in front of me said. “But you know me anyway. I am Selene and you’re here in my garden for a reason“, her goddess–like voice reached my ears.
Wait, goddess like? Selene? Her garden?
She must have seen the question on my face because she spoke up. “Yes, I’m the moon goddess“, she said with a smile and I bowed before her.
“It’s an honor to be before you, Selene “, I said and she chuckled slightly. “Please rise“, she said and I straightened my back.
“I’ll go straight to the point“, she started, “I brought you here to talk about the oncoming war“, she said and I raised my head to look her in the eyes.

“If you’re going to win the war, it’s going to come at a huge price but the price to pay is what is not known“, she said with a troubled look in her This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
eyes.
“I’ll do whatever to protect the people around me. I don’t care what the price is“, I blurted out without thinking first.
It was true though. I’ll gladly do anything to ensure the safety of my mate, my mom and my pack.
“I know you will. All you have to do is support Lola in whatever decision she makes concerning the war“, she said and I nodded.
“You should go now“, she smiled at me but it was a sad smile. I bowed before her and she nodded her head in acknowledgement.
“One more thing“, I raised my head to look her in the eyes, “Lola might take a while before she wakes up“. I was about to talk but she held her hands up.
“She’s also in this garden but we have more important matters to attend to“, she said, making me relax a little. “Now go, child. And remember, you must support all that she does“, she said.
I wanted to speak but I couldn’t say a thing before I got pulled under again.
When I opened my eyes, I was beside my beautiful mate. She seemed relaxed and at peace and I gently placed a kiss on her forehead. At least I know that she hasn’t left me.
“Thank God I made enough food for everyone“, Mom said and Lyla

clapped excitedly, making everyone laugh. Lately, she has been eating a lot and her emotions are always everywhere but she makes my mate happy, so I just let her be her own person.
I looked at my Queen beside her and smiled. I couldn’t help but imagine her pregnant when she talked about having kids and godmother with her friends.
“I really can’t wait for this war to be over so that we can start a family of our own“, Daxon said in my head and I agreed with him.
Mom stood up first and Avianca followed her to help her set the table, followed by a waddling Lyla supported by Nathan. My mate was the last one behind and she waited for everyone to leave before she came to me.
I was expecting everything but what she did next. She sat on my lap and wrapped her hands around my shoulder while she placed her head in the crook of my neck. I wrapped my hands around her waist and breathed. her in.
“I missed you so much“, she whispered into my ears and I shivered slightly. “You did, didn’t you?” I whispered back since I was at a loss for words. She just fries my brain like that.
“Want to go on a date with me tomorrow?” She asked and I was taken aback. I love this side of her but another voice in my head was saying that this is just the calm before the storm.
I nodded and gently rubbed her back. “You know I will love to go on a date with you, my Queen. All you have to do is ask and I’ll do anything for you“, I told her and she smiled against my skin making me grin like an idiot.

“Technically, you’re an idiot in love“, Daxon teased but I ignored him.
She opened her mouth to speak again when Avianca interrupted us. “Not to interrupt but we’re all waiting for you so that we can start eating. Lyla is having a fit right now because we have to wait“, she said with her hands on her waist and I glared at her.
“Of course, you did not ruin anything at all“, Lola said sarcastically. Avianca shrugged her shoulders and went back the way she came from.
“We should get you fed. We’ll talk better later, hmmmm?” I told her and she nodded. She dropped a chaste kiss on my lips and ran into the kitchen.
I smiled before going after her. This woman is going to be the death of
- me.
If only I knew.
