Lola’s POV
“I want you to mark me, Adrian“.
He looked at me like I had grown another head and I started thinking it was a bad idea: “Did you just ask me to mark you?” He asked and I shook my head. “Forget I said anything, it was a bad idea. Just forget it“, I rushed out before turning in the direction of the library aisle that I emerged from, my cheeks on fire.
What was I thinking asking him to mark me? I knelt down with my back facing the direction I came from as held my head in my hands. I froze when I heard him behind me.
Please go away, please go away, I chanted over and over in my head but he did not go away. Why won’t he go away?
“Baby“, his voice came from behind me. I could also feel his b*dy heat behind me, so I curled into myself more. “You can’t see me, go away“, my voice came out muffled and he chuckled.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“I see you perfectly well, baby. You don’t need to hide from me“, he said while pulling me into his b*dy, making him fall on the floor while I fell on top of him.
“Why are you suddenly so shy, huh?“, he chuckled and I hid myself in his chest, my cheeks flaming further. “What was that about marking? You can talk to me, baby“, he asked but I shook my head in disagreement.

“It’s not necessary, I just read it in a book but it was stupid to say it“, my reply came out muffled. “What did you see in the book? I wanna know, show it to me“, he asked but I did not move from where I was on his chest.
“You know you can’t stay like this all day, my queen“, he laughed at my sake and I sluggishly got up, hiding my face from him. I went to pick the book where I placed it, I opened it to the page that prompted me and handed it over to him.
His face changed from confused to understanding after he read through the page. “I actually thought it might be true since what happened with Fay happened after we spent the night together“, the memory of what happened during my heat hit me like a truck and my face heated up.
I did not need to look up at Adrian to see that he was trying to hold back his laughter. “And?” He asked after clearing his throat.
“Well, this morning I seemed to be stronger. I’m attributing it to the fact that we spent the night together yesterday“, I looked up and pointed at his eyes. “You also saw what happened to your eyes after we k*ssed this morning“, l finished.
“So, you want me to mark you so that we can reach our full potential quickly?” He asked me and I nodded my head. “No, I won’t“, he said with anger in his voice and went back the way he came. I dropped the book on a random shelf and followed after him.
“But why? We’re doing it for the people. The future of
everyone depends on us. I don’t want to lose anyone if I can. I want to keep everyone safe, Adrian. Try to understand me“, I

He stopped abruptly, making me bump into his back. He turned around and made me look into his eyes. “Baby, I
understand you. What I don’t want to understand is why such responsibility is on your shoulder“, he took a breath before he continued.
“I’m proud of your progress as a person, you’ve grown so much from the girl that came into this pack and while it hurts me that I am the reason for such growth, I’m super proud of you“, he said while rubbing my cheeks and I nodded. I wondered where he was going with his talks.
“Then I realized my mistake and I’m trying to make it up to you but all you’re worried about is the oncoming war. What about us, Lola? I hate the fact that everything is taking your attention away from me, I can’t help but be angry at everything“, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“Now you’re asking me to mark you, not because you really want me to but because of the war. I don’t want to mark you for that reason, baby. I want to mark you because you really want it, not for any other reason. Please understand me too“, he finished and I felt like a jerk for asking him in the first place.
“I did not think about it like that, I’m so sorry“, I whispered into the air around us. “I’ve been so busy thinking about everyone, I forgot that we still have ourselves to work on“, I sighed as I removed myself from him and went to sit on the couch in the office.
“It’s just that I have a lot on the line right now. I feel pressured and it’s so obvious that whoever wants to take me won’t

hesitate to keep hurting pack members until he gets me“, I tried to rein in my tears but they kept threatening to fall. “I don’t want to be the reason everyone dies, Adrian. I won’t be able to live with myself“, the tears that I had been holding in fell uncontrollably.
“Hey, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you, I was too focused on wanting to have you to myself, I did not see the bigger picture“, he muttered as he held me to his chest.
We stayed like that for a while until I pulled back from him and looked him in the eyes. “You know what? You’re right. I shouldn’t allow myself to be so weighed down by the upcoming war“.
smiled at him as I said the next words that came to mind. “Let’s go on that date again. This time, no distractions, just us“.
