Chapter 135
Lola’s POV
The whole night, I barely got any sleep. My brain was in overdrive and all I kept thinking about was how to get over this phase as quickly as possible.
As much as I wanted the war to be over and done with because it will mean peace and safety for everyone else, it will mean my end.
“Why are you wide awake?” Adrian asked in his sexy, sleepy voice. “Why are you awake also?” I asked him back to deviate from the fact that I wasn’t getting any sleep and he caught me.
“Your steady heartbeat calms me down and helps me to sleep well but you seem worried about something. It’s been beating wildly and pulling me out of my sleep“, he said and my mouth opened in a silent ‘o‘.
“I definitely wasn’t expecting that answer“, I mumbled and he pulled me close to his chest. “I like to surprise you“, he said with a kiss to my forehead, making me blush slightly.
“So, tell me. Tell me what has been worrying you. I’ve noticed that you’ve been acting weird since yesterday morning “, he said with a hurt voice and I felt bad.

I opened my mouth to refute his claims but he put his fingers to my lips. “I want the truth baby. Please, don’t lie to me“, he pleaded, his tone and eyes begging me to say the truth.
My lungs closed in panic and tears sprang to my eyes. I couldn’t tell him what was going on with me. He can’t know what the outcome of the war will be, he will make sure that my life is replaced by his.
“Did I upset you?” He asked worriedly and I shook my head with a watery smile. “No, no you did not upset me. I just feel selfish for making you worry about me“.
“It’s the oncoming war that has me jittery and worried. I’m scared Adrian“, I whispered to him. “What if I fail? What if everyone ends. up dead and I’m left all alone in this world again?” I said weakly.
“I have nightmares about everyone getting wiped out. I’m scared. I’m really scared“, I bunched his shirt in my hands as I whispered that last part.
“We’re going to win this war, my Queen“, Adrian said with a determination that had me worried.
Did the moon goddess tell him that his life will be taken in exchange too? Did he agree to it? Why is he so sure that we’ll win? A thousand and ten questions ran through my head and I lost track of what he said.
“…….and you’ll never be alone in this world“, the last part was what I caught on to. “How are you so sure? Did the moon. goddess tell you something when she came to you?” I asked,

“She told me I had to trust you and everything will be fine“, he said sincerely and a tear rolled down my cheek. I was relieved at the fact that he’s safe but that also meant my fate was sealed in stone and there was no getting out of it…
A win is a win, right?
“That’s a relief, I guess“, I said with a smile that I hope doesn’t seem fake to him. “I believe in you, baby“, he pulled me closer to him and placed a kiss on my forehead, “You’re going to do very well, I just know“, he said with so much certainty, it made my heart hurt.
But I’m not going to make it out of it alive, I wanted to scream out but I held onto his shirt instead.
“I have a surprise planned for you on our date today“, he said after a while. I pulled back to look at his face and he had a big grin on his face, making me smile in return.
“What’s that?” I asked him but he shook his head. “Now, now. It won’t be a surprise if I spill what it is about, will it?” He asked and I pouted.
“Why did you tell me then?” I asked with a frown and he laughed, his body shaking and muscles contracting nicely. “Just because“, he replied and I punched him lightly on his shoulder.
“Ha, that hurts“, he held his shoulder and his face contorted in pain, making me panic. “I’m so sorry “, I repeated over and over

as I stood up and frantically checked him over.
“I swear I didn’t use much of my energy. I was just playing with you. I didn’t mean hurt you, I promise“, I rambled as I touched his shoulder and tried to heal him with my powers.
“If you were going to worry, why did you hit me in the first place?” He asked. I looked at his face and that was when it occurred to me that he was faking it.
“You lied to me“, I glared at him and he shrugged before he started laughing. “You can’t do that to me. I was sincerely worried. that I hurt you“, I said to him with my hands crossed over my shoulder in anger.
Yes, I should have noticed that he was faking it bit everything has me on edge nowadays and I just can’t help being overly sensitive when it comes to him.
He tried to hold me but I moved away from his touch. “Oh, come. on. I was just joking with you“, he said with a pout and I couldn’t help the small smile that graced my face.
When he acts cute like that, I can’t even stay mad at him. I allowed myself to be pulled to his chest and snuggled against him.
“It’s 2 am already. Let’s get some shut eye, I have a lot prepared for you today and you’ll need your energy for it“, he said, his sexy voice sending tingles to my spine.
I couldn’t help but think of other things that needed ny energy.

“Get your mind out of that dirty place and sleep if you don’t want us to cancel our plans today. I promise that you won’t be able to walk if I take you on what you’re thinking“, his voice rang in my head and I clenched my thighs. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“That sounds very promising“, I replied to him, hoping he’ll change my mind and take me as promised but he just shook his head with laughter rumbling in his chest.
“Get some sleep and I might reward you if you are a good girl“, he whispered into my ears. I did not need more convincing to close my eyes and let myself be pulled into the world of unconsciousness.
