Revenge to the Alpha Mate novel Chapter 122

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.

Adrian’s P.O.V.

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.

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.

Nate’s P.O.V.

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.

"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
