Chapter 17 – The Moon Wolf

“Oh, oh, okay. I’d go there now”, I replied in a shaky voice and made to stand up to leave.

Jayden stood up too and I looked over to him in confusion. “I am going to take you there, except you don’t want me to?”, He said and I assured him I could go on my own.

Rose gave me a hug before she saw me off to the entrance of the house.

I gave her a watery smile as I left and waved at her once I was some distance away from the house.

As I walked to the pack house, my thoughts raced a thousand miles per hour. What if Adrian already made up his mind to give me back to Grayson? It’s not like he liked me to start with in the first place.

I could not even cry as I walked towards the pack house, I was numb and tired. I wanted to just crawl into my bed at Adrian’s house and sleep. I even thought I was in a dream until I slapped myself to confirm.

I met Lyla as I made my way into the pack house. “Hey, bestie. How’s Rose treating you?” She said animatedly as she skipped towards me.

“Hi, Lyla”, I replied back meekly and her face showed she wasn’t okay with how I responded to her.

“Just ‘hi Lyla”? Is that how to…..”, she was about to reply to me when Nathan showed up with a stoic face.

“You’re here, Lola. Follow me, Adrian is waiting for you”, he said to me, completely ignoring Lyla Lyla was about to open her mouth to talk when I gave her a pleading look to drop the matter.

I followed behind Nathan quietly and Adrian’s scent washed over me as we stood in front of the door. Nathan opened the door and I entered after him.

My eyes found Adrian first and he looked to be very angry, which made me shiver with fear. I hoped that anger was not directed at me.

I made the mistake of looking around the room and found Grayson’s dark beaded eyes that made my skin crawl with the look he was giving me.

This bastard truly found me, was my thought as my b*dy shook uncontrollably. And it wasn’t in a good way.

Adrian’s POV

I had to go see what made her have a panic attack, or should I say who? I knew she was fragile and broken but I did not know that the mere mention of someone would have her bawling out her eyes.

“Nathan, I’m on my way. Try not to hurt anyone before I get there, I might need to beat some senses into those mutts”, I mindlinked Nathan as I made my way to the pack house immediately I was sure Mother would be able to take care of her.

“Wow, man. Is there something wrong? You sound pretty angry”, Nathan asked, but I just remained silent. I had to see for myself first.

Nathan was already waiting for me in the pack house living room when I got there.

“Oh, you’re here. I had to leave the office before I beat both of them,since you ordered me not to touch them”, he said immediately I got close enough to him.

“When did they reach the border? What exactly did they say they wanted?”, I asked him as we made our way over to the office.

“It was immediately the border patrol alerted me about their presence that I went there. I mindlinked you immediately they requested to see the Alpha because he had something that belonged to them”, he said through gritted teeth which is proof of his anger.

“I hoped to God that none of them had touched Lola before, or they might be going back to their pack in a b*dy bag”, I said to myself but Nathan heard me, thanks to his werewolf hearing.

“Lola? Lola is the reason they are here? Who do they think they are to demand for her like she’s some sort of rag doll they own”, his voice had changed slightly, which meant his wolf was present too. His wolf probably recognized Lola as Luna even though I had not accepted her as my mate.

I had to be the bigger person. I took a deep breath as I entered the office. I saw two guys, not older than 18 seated on the couch in the office.

“Gentlemen, how may I help you?” I said to them I walked into the room, making sure my Alpha tone leaked into my my voice.

The one with black hair was the first to speak up. “We are here because you have something that belongs to us, Alpha”, he spoke up.

“And what exactly might that be, young man?”, I said. “We haven’t even met before and I have something of yours?” I asked and saw him slightly shiver in fear. That’s right, a pup like you should know its place before me.

“A pack member of mine ran away after committing a great crime against me and I learnt that she’s in your pack. I just came here to get her so I can punish her properly”, he said.

“A crime? What sort of crime? Who’s this pack mate, pup?” I fired the questions at him. I saw the way he and his companion exchanged weird glances when I asked what crime was committed.

“Lola, her name is Lola Ashton”, he said and I felt Daxon growling in my head when he said her name.

“What right does he have to call our mate by her name?” He snarled in my head and I had to take a deep breath myself so I won’t lash out at the scrawny thing in front of me.

“And what crime did she commit against you? She’s on my pack now, I can’t just hand her over to you”, I asked him and he and his partner grew uncomfortable where they were sitting.
