Chapter 21 – The Moon Wolf

“I needed time, Mom. I needed to clear my head and get my thoughts together. I planned to apologize her when I got Chuter 20

back. Where is she?” I asked, looking around the room and towards the stairs when I couldn’t find her. Her scent lingers around but it was very faint.

“I wouldn’t want to be near an idiot like you if I were her. She’s at the pack house, you can make all your apologies in the morning”, she said venomously. I’ve only seen mom like that once and the anger wasn’t directed at me.

Mom stormed off leaving Dad and I alone in the living room. Dad came near me and gave me a pat on the shoulder.

“I hope she’s ready to take you back. I told you that girl should be cherished and loved”, he said lowly before he went after his wife.

Taking a moment to pull my act together, I made my way up. the stairs and went down the hallway instead of going into my own room. Her scent engulfed me and I felt even worse that I already did.

Her fragile b*dy came to mind and I genuinely wondered what she keeps under her long clothings. I hoped that bastard Grayson did not touch her or I’d have his pack wiped out.

With her on my mind and her scent engulfing me, I went to bed and woke up in the early hours of the morning. I woke up with the determination to win her back and love her the way she should be loved.

“It’s about time you finally came to your senses. We should go and see mate immediately this morning, you’ve deprived me of my mate for so long”, Daxon yipped happily in my head, earning a chuckle from me. Who would have thought the big bad Alpha wolf is like a puppy when it comes to his mate.

“You don’t wanna scare her with your excitement when we see her, Dax. She still doesn’t trust us”, I said through the mindlink, earning me a scoff.

“I wonder whose fault that is”, I could feel him rolling his eyes and I shook my head in amusement. Petty b*tch.

I went to work out to relief myself of my anxiety. I worked out for about 2 hours before I decided to go wash up. Daxon keot on pestering me to go and see Lola so I blocked him out.

about an hour ago.

To be very honest, I’m anxious and maybe a little scared that she’d reject me after the way I treated her yesterday. I had my bath and dressed up to go and see her at the pack house.

I met Mom in the kitchen but she totally ignored me. Just great. I’m starting to think my parents wished she was their child instead of me.

On entering the pack house, people greeted me and I nodded in acknowledgement but there was only a certain blue eyed beauty on my mind.

Walking further into the pack house, I smelt her before I saw her but the scene before me made my blood boil and I let out a thunderous growl.

She jumped back from the man she was hugging and I saw that it was one of my warriors. I resisted the urge to move closer to them and snap off the guy’s n*eck. Instead, I said something that I’d regret for years to come.

“Maybe your former Alpha was right after all. You’re just a slut that’s not worthy of love”, I said in hurt and anger.

Lola’s POV

I felt so hollow and empty. I thought I couldn’t be affected by whatever he says or does anymore, but was I wrong. I could not properly hear what was going on around me. All I heard was echoes and distant sounds.

“Lola, Lola, can you hear me?” I heard someone calling out to me distantly and tried to reply but I could not. It felt like my lungs were being crushed and I could not even cry out for help.

I suddenly took in a large gulp of air and came back to the present. Jace was kneeling beside me with a worried look on his face. I did not remember how I reached the floor nor how long I’d been out of it for, but the look on his face made me realze that it was bad.

“Lola, can you hear me now? Do you recognise me?” He asked worriedly and I laughed. I really laughed in that situation.

“Why do you look so worried, Jacey. I’m fine”, I smiled at him and he ran his hands through his hair in frustration.

“You’re fine? Lola, you were numb and unmoving for over 5 minutes. I called you severally, you did not give me any response. You just sat still and unmoving. If I had not seen the rapid rise and fall of your chest, I’d have thought you were dead. Yet, you claim to be fine?” He was practically screaming at this point.

Ignoring the fact that he looked like he was about to explode, “I’ll like to be left alone”, I said to him. He looked at me like I was crazy and hesitated. “Please”, I pleaded to him and he nodded before he left me.

I picked myself off the floor and made my way back to Lyla’s room. I was not crying nor feeling anything, I just stared blankly at the door until she came in.

“Are you okay, Lola? What happened with Adrian? How did you know Jace? He was the one that came to get me”, she fired rapidly once she saw me sitting on the bed, staring blankly at her.

As if on que, the waterworks started when she asked me questions. I suddenly felt like my heart was being ripped apart. I cried out in pain while clutching at my chest, trying to relieve the pain I felt inside of me.

Lyla rushed towards me and held me in her arms while I cried out my eyes. She did not offer any words of comfort or tried to make me stop crying, which I was grateful for.

Jasmine wept silently in my head and I could not even comfort her. Adrian did not know what I went through at my former pack, he did not even know anything about me and he had the guts to say such words to me. Why does the moon goddess think it’s a good idea to pair me people that don’t think highly of me?

For about an hour, I cried and Lyla held me through all of it. I was grateful to at least have someone that could be there for me. I calmed down and she let me go I wriggled my b*dy.
