Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 355 – Little Luna – II

He was late and that only made him pick up the pace. 

As a Vampire, which aided not having to worry about pushing past his endurance and strength aided him in crossing distance in a short time. 

A smile made its way on his face when he could send some movement in the backyard of the mansion. She was definitely waiting for him there. 

Adrian let out a fully grown grin. It was not always that he could manage to get out of the work given to him by nathaniel but receiving the blood of the Luna was one of the things that aided him in meeting his beloved Zara. 

He came to an abrupt standstill at the place where they were supposed to me but found her nowhere. 

This was suspicious because his are always waited for him here unless.., he smiled, of course, she would be at the well. 

Instead of running there he took his sweet time to walk there with the aim of looking at his maid and staring at her to his fill. 

The well was pretty much dry at this point and was used to buy maybe a generation or two back by the family that housed this mention what the well had a different feeling to it. 

Surrounded by the lashes flowers and the green glass along with those climbing leaves that were on the top of the well, it's pulley, that his mate loved to see and play with. 

He might have been to lost for his own good because the smell of blood hit him and before he knew what he was running at full speed to the well only to be greeted by the sight of his made hanging by the rope of the pulley. 

"Shi..Zara?" He breathed out in disbelief before he took hesitating step forward to make sure that it was her.

The body very slowly rotated and with the help of the moonlight he was able to see the outline of her face which confirmed what the smell of the blood had already done. 

Knowing that she was a shifter and this was not going to kill her, he slowly cut the nose before taking her body into his arms and placed her down on the grass. 

She was bloody and bruised and had no scent on her which gave him no access to know who was behind this. 

Adrien moves his eyes towards the mansion. If they had done it, they would have never been careful enough to let her get out of this alive but that was also not the style of the wolves. 

Zara would have received imprisonment but not this. 

Adrian watched her closely. Even in death she looked beautiful. 

His eyes went over every cut and proved that had been placed over her body and most of them had been healed. Thankful to something he had listened to, Adrian closed his eyes in a brief prayer. 

With a loud gasp, her eyes shot open and she sat up straight. She inhaled lovely for a few times as if trying to establish the fact that she was alive and breathing before her eyes slowly turned to him. 

"Adrian.." She breathed out his name as a prayer on her lips before leaning on her side and letting him catch her. 

"Who did this to you?" 

"Why did I not die?" Her words were slow and slurred. The energy she had earlier was now drained. 

He sighed loudly, mindlessly even. Adrian knew that sometime soon he would have to reveal why she did not die but perhaps since that had already happened this was the right time to reveal it. 

"Do you remember the honey syrup I gave you?" She nodded against his chest. "That contains my blood in it. The moment you die you are brought back to life because of it." 

" I.." 

"Do not waste any more of your strength," he patted her back gently, "take rest, but just tell me who did it." 

"No.. I don't think I should.." 

"Why?" His eyebrows narrowed in suspicion. Hardly ever did it happen when Zara refused to tell him and since she had, it only made it known that it was something far greater than what he could take on. 

"You do not have to worry about me. Nathaniel hates the shifters and if it comes to ask for help, I know he would do without a single thought of no." 

She chuckled but he picked it up on the mocking. 

"What?" 

She shook her head against his chest. "No, we cannot do it." She sighed loudly. "Am I a Vampire now?" 

His chest tightened, "yes." He answered. 

Zara might not be able to say anything at the moment given she was drained of energy and was practically coming back to life once more, it did not mean that it was over. 

The very part of her that he had kept hidden about her being a small shifter was officially over and she was dead inside. 

She was going to raise hell. 

It did not escape past his mind that she had very conveniently avoided telling him who had damaged her to this length. 

"You are trained well to defend yourself against any shifter," he wrapped her hair around her first letting her know who was in charge of the conversation, "once again I will ask, who was responsible for this?"

When she did not answer him immediately as he had expected, he gave a little thug on her ponytail. "Who?" He asked again. 

"What would you do if it was Nathaniel?" 

Adrian halted for a second, maybe even two. 

"Yes," she said, "it was him." 

"i—"

"You can't," she cut him off almost immediately. "They don't trust the little Luna anymore. Do you know how many guards she has?" 

He didn't. 

'The moment she steps out of the house there are so many arms around her and only a quarter of which is known to her.' she chuckled. "It is going to be impossible for you to meet her without having anyone be allerted." 

"I will do something, Zara." He vowed, kissing her head.. "I will."
