Chapter 125 – The Moon Wolf

“I’m always bored inside here and it will only get worse if I don’t have anyone to talk to today”, she said and sighed. If Lola hadn’t pointed out that she was Alysia, I’d have fallen for her tricks.

“You chose to stay here and besides, Rose will be around and you can have all the women talk that you guys have”, Alysia said, her eyes still on Alysia like she was expecting her to break and let the cat out of the bag.

“Oh yeah. Yeah, Rose. I’ll stay here with her. She needs someone to be with her at all times”, she said with an underlying tone of mockery but I allowed it to slide incase I was just being paranoid.

“We’ll see you later then. Have a nice day”, Lola said as she stood up and held my hand in hers. Without sparing her another glance, she walked out of the door and kept walking towards the car without stopping.

It wasn’t until we were seated in the car that she allowed herself to breathe. She clawed at her chest and her tears fell freely.

“She’s definitely the one. Serena would have called my bullshit when I mentioned the panic attack. She was so clueless about everything going on, she was so focused on herself. That was how Alysia acted”, she cried.

“I hope Serena is okay. They must have gotten her”, she lamented and I also sighed. “Serena is not the type to allow herself to be overpowered easily. If she’s really being held captive by them, she has her own reasons”, I hugged her to my chest as I spoke.

“What if there was no reason and she was really captured and helpless?” She asked, tugging at my heartstrings. “We’re fucked if that’s the case, Adrian”, she started crying again.

“That’s why we’re on our way to make sure that we’re prepared for whatever might be thrown our way”, I gently kissed the top of her head while she sniffled.

“I want to start training again”, she said after she had calmed down. “It’s so close, I can feel it. I can’t afford to allow my mistake to cost anyone their life again. I have to conquer”, she said with fierce determination.

After I made sure that she wasn’t going to start crying again, I started driving towards Nathan’s home where he, Lyla and Avianca were waiting for us.

Lyla and Avianca were the first to meet us. Lyla took one look at my mate and became concerned. “Hey, bestie. What’s wrong with you?

Have you been crying? Did Adrian hurt you? I swear if he had anything to do with why you look so sad and gloomy, I’ll make him……”, she said as she turned to me, rage evident in her eyes.

She was cut short by Lola who broke into laughter. “I promise you that he’s not the one that made me cry”, she replied softly. “So you admit that you were crying. Why were you crying and why did Adrian make it happen?” Avianca was the one who spoke next.

Daxon growled lowly at their disrespect but I wasn’t bothered. I was grateful that she had people who will take her side without thinking twice about it.

“Guys, the Serena in our home is actually her evil twin, Alysia”, Lola said and the room became dead silent. The girls looked at each other with open mouths.

“What???? How dare her set her foot into this pack after being a bitch to you and to Serena. I’m going to kill her”, Lyla said in a rage and tried to leave the room but I blocked her with my body.

“Serena is being held somewhere, I’m very sure of it. We can’t act rashly or we’ll be putting her in danger”, my mate said and Lyla deflated.

She walked dejectedly into the living room while we followed behind her. Nathan came out of the kitchen with a cute apron and napkin.

He must have been cooking for his wife. “You’re here. Welcome guys”. He waved at Lola and pulled me into a bro hug.

“I’ll go straight to business since we don’t have time to waste”, I spoke for the first time since we got there.

“We’re not longer asking for help from the other packs secretly. We’re going to openly ask and see what happens next”.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and for my mate, I’ll burn down the earth.

Lola’s POV

It’s been 2 weeks since we found out that Alysia was the one in our home, not Serena. Two weeks since we sent out messages to other packs to solicit for help. Two weeks since I started training back, physically and also with my powers.

A week since we got response from most of the packs and had troops sent to us to be trained in preparation for the coming War.

Moonlit pack was the first to oblige us and Grayson even sent his heartfelt apology for all he did to me when I was in Moonlit pack.

The war was so close, everyone was on edge, even Alysia. Something was definitely wrong with their plan and that brought me some sort of relief.

I haven’t spoken with Selene since the last time I did, I wanted to spend all of my time with Adrian. I couldn’t afford to waste time in the garden, I already had limited time with him.

During the day, we train and plan the war. At night, we make love till we get spent and sleep off in each other’s arms.

Rose was still unaware of the fact that it wasn’t Serena in her home and we kept it that way. There was no need for us to bother her without a solution in sight.

“Do you hear me, Luna?” Nathan’s voice brought me out of my deep thinking and I blinked twice to bring myself to reality.

“You can call me Lola, Nathan. Also, what are we talking about?” I asked and 10 pairs of eyes stared at me across the room. “I’m sorry guys, I kind of zoned out”, I said sheepishly.

“It’s fine, baby. We were just discussing the formation we’ll be using and how the training is going. It’s not really a big deal, right guys?”

Adrian directed to the rest of the room.

“Of course, Alpha”, “It’s not a problem at all”, “You’re all good, Luna”, were said around the room and I smiled at them. “Since we’ve sorted out all the issues at hand, I’d like to leave with my mate. This has been taking a toll on her and she needs to rest”, he said and the whole room nodded in agreement.

I didn’t get any bad vibe from the room and that made me happy. It’s a miracle how I went from a nobody, to someone that men of power sit around to listen to.

“Gentlemen, thank you for your time”, I said as I looked around the room, making sure to maintain eye contact with anyone that met my eyes. “We’ll get going now. Any updates will be passed through the Beta”, I pointed at Nathan and they all nodded.
