Chapter 69 – The Moon Wolf

“They’ll meet us at the pack. I need to make a call”, he stood up abruptly, picked his phone and went into the bathroom. I tried to listen to his call conversation but he turned on the water, distorting my hearing.

That sly wolf.

He came out a while later, water dripping down his b*dy gloriously and what we discussed before he went into the bathroom vanished completely.

He looked like a Greek god and winked at me when I finally looked up at his face. I might have stared too long at his dick area, I became red with embarrassment when I realised I was caught.

I ran into the bathroom, slamming the door behind me. I took my time to do my routine and left the bathroomto find Adrian already dressed in new clothes while a bag was on the bed beside him.

“We did not shop for anything yesterday so I asked that some be brought for you before we eventually go shopping my queen. I figured you wouldn’t want to wear d*rty clothes”, he said and I smiled at him gratefully before entering the bathroom the second time to dress up.

I wasn’t ready to be n*ked before him, my self control is not that strong.

“Look who turned out to be the horny one”, Jasmine taunted and I would have smacked her if I could. “Oh, please. You can’t deny that he looked so mouthwatering just before”, I argued back. Just thinking. about how he looked made me want to go back into the room but I refrained from doing so.

I brought out my clothes hurriedly and got out to meet him sitting at the edge of the bed expectantly.

“We’ll shop for a while before we leave, we should eat first”, he said ast he took my hand in his and led me out of the hotel room. We stopped by a restaurant and he ordered food for us. I couldn’t eat a lot so we left after he was done.

After a moment of arguing about shopping for clothes, we entered the car and headed towards our pack. My heart kept beating rapidly in my chest for no particular reason.

I slept off halfway into the journey, only awakened when we reached Crescent moon pack. I stepped out of the car before Adrian could step out to open the door for me, earning me a pout from him.

I was about to open the door when I was hit by scents that evoke rage in me. Jasmine kept growling incessantly in my head and I growled a little too. Adrian held my hands and I calmed down a bit.

I was met with faces I’d rather not see again immediately I opened the door. They had the guts to smile at me and my anger returned tenfolds.

“Lola, we missed you”, Natalie said. I grounded my teeth so hard, it was a miracle they were still there. “Natalie, Andrew”, i acknowledged them.

They looked shocked by the fact that I called them by their names but I didn’t care.

Andrew spoke up, “I found out what Grayson did after you left the pack. I promise that I had no idea what you had to go through”, he said softly and I laughed. I laughed so loud, and they looked at me in awe.

I’m going to kill these lowlifes!

“What do you know about my parent’s death?”, I abruptly asked and the room went into a pin drop silence.

Adrian’s POV

I watched her b*dy shake with rage as she asked the fake people in front of us questions. Everyb*dy looked at them expectantly and they must have realized that their secret has been leaked.

The woman looked pale but the man still maintained a strong front. He laughed tensely before giving a nervous smile. “Wha-what are you talking about, Lola? I treated you like family and loved you like my own daughter. I don’t get where this accusation is coming from. You’re being unreasonable right now”, he said shakily. I could hear how fast his heart was beating and I almost laughed at his pathetic trial.

“I’m so sorry, uncle Andrew. How st*pid of me to think that you’d ever do such a thing to me. I must have lost my memories for a little while. Care to juggle my memory?” She said calmly and I saw fears in his eyes before he masked it.

She walked majestically towards an empty chair and sat down while we waited for them to start talking. Daxon made a sound that showed that he was satisfied and proud in my head. I smirked at them before going over to sit beside her. She automatically held my hand and I felt how much she was shaking despite her brave facade and I couldn’t be more proud of her.

“If you’d please”, Dad said after a while and he nodded before clearing his throat. He struggled with what to say for a while before Lola cut in.

“I see that you’re having a hard time talking about that incident. It must have been hard on you. Am I right, Aunt Natalie, Uncle Andrew?” She asked and I could see that her rage was already trying to overcome her so I squeezed her hand to calm her down a bit.

The woman wrung her hands together more and looked like she was about to cry but the man nodded.

“The nerves of the sly bastard”, Daxon growled in my head as I resisted the urge to growl out loud. “Yo Daxon, chill out. We need to calm down for Lola. She wants to do this by herself and should be allowed to”, I said but Daxon still wasn’t calming down.

I couldn’t blame him because left to me, I’d have torn them apart the moment I set my eyes on them.

“I’d ask you questions to speed this up, okay?” She said with an air of authority and even dad looked proud of her.

“What happened to Mom and Dad?” She asked with a death glare. The man relaxed and seemed to have everything under control.

“Silly Lola. They were killed by rogues of course. This is a known tragedy in the wolf world”, he replied. And he was right, that was the story everyone in the wolf world knew. It was during the time I lost my sister too so we were not able to look into it. Those bastards planned it well.

“Do I have a younger brother?” His eyes widened in shock at this question and it took him a while to recover. “No, no, of course not. You’re an only child, Lola. How did you come up with these questions?” He said with a nervous laugh but Lola wasn’t having any of it.

The wind around us changed and I knew Jasmine was in charge. They looked terribly terrified of the change in room and Natalie, like Lola identified the woman, started crying.

“Andrew, I’m going to give you another chance to redeem yourself and you better not waste it”, she said, almost intimidating me but I knew it wasn’t directed at me so I relaxed. “Now, I ask again, what happened to Chapter ‘my parents?” She asked with venom dripping from her words.

“Lola, I already told you all that happened. I already told you everything, what more do you want me to…….”, he wasn’t done with his words when Lola’s hair suddenly started to spark and her eyes glowed brighter than they did the last time. Outside, the carlier sunny weather had changed to a thunderstorm and I was wowed. I have never seen her so angry before.

He was about to talk again when suddenly he was hit with a spark of lightning causing him to cry out in pain. Lola was about to hit him with another one when Natalie began to speak.

“I’d say it. I’d tell you everything you want to know, please stop”, she wailed and pleaded but Lola was still glowing and breathing really hard.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay baby. We need them alive to be able to question them, remember?” I cooed to her and that was when she eventually calmed down.

“Speak!” She commanded, her voice echoing throughout the entire room. “What about him?” Natalie asked, pointing to her husband that was writhing in pain. “He caused me pain for eight years, he should be able to withstand that for as long as your narration takes. If you don’t want to be like him, I suggest you start speaking now”, she said before she took her seat.

Natalie looked at her mate before she started speaking. “Yes, yes, we know about the death of your parents”, she sobbed out and I felt Lola stiffen with anger beside me. “And yes, you had a brother. He died alongside your parents in the rogue incident”, she confessed.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Mom cover her mouth with her hands and Dad was rigid with rage. “How old was he? Why wasn’t he spared? Why, why did you do it?” Lola’s voice broke towards the end and I knew she was on the verge of breaking down.

“He, he was j-just si-six months”, she stammered out and the only thing that stood between her and death was that we needed to hear her confession. “You aided in the death of a six month old?” Mom asked. I did not need to look at her to know that she was crying already.
