Chapter 11 – The Moon Wolf

“So you’re going to reject her?”He asked as I swung another punch in his direction, which he successfully dodged.

“She’s a rogue. Dad. I have to reject her for the sake of everyb*dy. I can’t make the same mistake twice”. I said as he landed another blow on my ribs.

“I’m sure Daxon doesn’t agree with your decision. she’s his mate too you know?” He said throwing punches I keep dodging.

Daxon is a b*tch, he’s just being emotional because he felt the mate pull this time around too. I felt the mate pull the last time too and I know what happened when I acted on it.

I got angry and started throwing punches blindly. I wasn’t even calculating Dad’s next move until he landed a blow that had me on my back. I did not bother sitting up and just sprawled on the flow breathing heavily. I heard Dad leave the basement and still laid down on the floor not moving.

I sat up after a while and checked the time, it was already noon. Jeez, I need to get my act together. I mindlinked Nathan to ask if he had carried out my order.

“Hey man, what’s up?”, His voice came through the mindlink.

“Where’s she?”I asked not even bothering with pleasantries. I need to know where she is so I can avoid such places.

“At the pack house. I handed her over to Julie as a maid”, I nodded my head even though he could not see me. At least she’s in good hands. not like I care. Juliana is like the pack’s nanny, everyb*dy likes her.

“Okay man, I’ll see you later” I told him and cut off the mindlink.

I stood up and went to my room to freshen up greeting Mom who’s in the living room on the way. She told me I should come down when I’m done freshening up,to eat and she also had something to discuss with me. I mentally rolled my eyes because I know she’s going to talk about mate but I agreed anyways.

I freshened up and changed into a pair of gray sweatpants with a white thin t–shirt that clung to my frame and made my way down to eat my food.

I had a cup of fresh coffee while Mom made my food for me. She always treats me like I’m still a baby which I’m grateful for when it comes to food.

She made pancakes, a whole lot of them and stacked them on my plate. I had them with syrup and strawberries. I love mom’s cooking, it’s always so delicious.

I finished eating and cleaned my plate and placed it in its proper place before joining Mom in the living room. I knew what she was going to discuss but decided to humor her nonetheless.

“Oh, hey, you’re done eating. Took you a while to finish your workout today, anything bothering you?”She asked innocently like she had no idea what I was going through.

“Mom, cut the act. I’m going to reject her and go ahead with Fay as my Luna as planned”, I snapped at her.

“No, you’re not going to reject her!”She boomed in my ear and I just stood up and made my way to my study to do some paperwork. It’s been left to me as the next Alpha.

I was engrossed in the paperwork, I did not realize time was far spent until I heard my mother’s voice in my head.

“There’s someone I want you to meet, get down here”, she said and the midlink went quiet. I wonder what she wants now.

I exited my room and was hit with the most amazing smell I’ve ever smelt, pineapple and coconut. I palmed my face when I realized what that meant but a part of me wanted to know what my supposed mate looks like so I kept moving towards the scent.

I saw her before she saw me. She looked thin and malnourished and my heart broke at the sight of her. Her eyes met mine and they widened in fear, she tried to make herself even tinier than she was and I wanted to slap myself.

Daxon whimpered in my head at the sight of her tiny frame and I almost went up to her to grab her and keep her close to me at all times. Her beautiful blue eyes teared up and I mentally kicked myself, I’m the cause of her tears and pain.

“I don’t think I’ve introduced her to you. Adrian meet Lola, our new maid”, Mom smiled at me mischievously.

I looked at her the same time she looked at me with wide eyes and cursed Mom in my head.

What game are you playing Mom?

Lola’s POV

His new maid? Their new maid? I think the Moon goddess is having too much fun with this.

So many scenarios ran through my head as the Beta, Nathan, led me to the pack house after saying the Luna wanted to see me but this definitely wasn’t one of it.

I should have allowed Lyla to come with me. She wanted to come because she doesn’t trust Nathan with me but I told her it wasn’t necessary. I regret that decision now.

My eyes found his and I quickly looked away before he could see the tears in my eyes. I got demoted real quick, from a mate to a maid. The thought sounded funny to me and i laughed out loud drawing attention to myself.

“I’m sorry, Luna”, I apologized to the beautiful woman, who looked so young with her beautiful Bambi eyes and shoulder length hair, before me. Her eyes crinkled in laughter and I bowed ny head again.

“It’s totally fine Lola. We all have those moments with our thoughts. and wolves”, she said as she came towards me and patted my cheeks lovingly.
