Chapter 25 – The Moon Wolf

This time around we made our way to a salon. Lola seemed to know the people here too and I waited while they exchanged pleasantries.

“I thought you might want to change your appearance or do something with your hair, that’s why we’re here. You don’t have to if you don’t want to, we can just get mani and pedi and go”, Lyla told me softly.

I felt my hair that was almost reaching my lower back and decided that there’s no harm in trying out something new.

“I’d like to cut it, I want a completely new look”, I said confidently. Lyla also took a seat beside me and demanded that her hair be cut too. I appreciated her support and kind heart.

I loved what I saw when I looked in the mirror afterwards. My hair was barely reaching my shoulder. The white stood out. against my skin clearly and I could not stop touching it.

Lyla looked breath–taking with her new look too. It was almost the same length as mine but she got bangs too.

Our manicure and pedicure was next and it felt good to have someone dote on me for a change. It came out well and we left the mall after we paid.

I won’t say the whole experience today made me forget all that I was going through but I at least have happy memories and I had a fun day.

The ride back home was peaceful and I slept a little before we reached the pack.

Unknown’s POV

“What did you find”, I spoke into the receiver immediately I picked up.

“The girl Lilith gave us information that fits the description you told us sir, but I doubt she’s the one. She doesn’t seem to even have a wolf. I don’t think she’s the right person, sir”, the voice on the other end of the receiver spoke and I growled at him.

“That’s why she’s different, idiot. Do not lose her, I need your to find out what pack she stays in. Do not come back without tangible information”, I spoke into the receiver and hung up.

Very soon, darling, very soon you’ll be mine and mine alone.

Lola’s POV

You know that feeling when it feels like you’ve finally reached your final destination, then you can rest? That’s exactly how I felt when I saw the pack come into view.

I might not have a mate still, but I have people that will support me and stay by me now. Even though they’re not up to 5, they’re still people I can count on to stick up for me.

The pack house came into view and I saw a fuming Nathan standing in front of the pack house. Uh–oh. I looked towards Lyla and she didn’t seem to care that he was angry and it was directed at her.

We packed in front of the pack house and Nathan stormed over to the car, knocking harshly on the window. Lyla took her time to turn off the engine and unbuckle her seat belt before opening the car.

“What the hell, Lyla? How could you go on a girl’s day out or whatever without my permission nor Adrian’s”, he asked angrily, immediately Lyla opened the door.

“Last time I checked, I do not need your permission to live my life. I asked Luna and she gave me her permission. The only thing you should be mad about is your motherf**king car and I brought it back in one piece”, she spat, looking him directly in the eye.

What exactly is going on with these two? I stayed silent to avoid being caught in the middle of their heated argument.

“What if something happened to you? You could have taken one b*dy guard with you. And you did not go alone, if something had happened to Lola, would you take responsibility?” He snarled at her, the anger in his eyes growing.

Lola rolled her eyes at him,”Like I said, don’t act like you care. We’re back in one piece and I promise you that your car doesn’t have a scratch”, she tried to move past him but he wouldn’t budge.

“Out of my way, Hulk. I need to get my things from the car, so you can take Lola to the house. Stop talking too much, you’re a man”, she looked towards his crotch area at that statement, “or maybe not”.

She was about to move him again when he trapped her against the back door car. “Say that one more time, and I’ll show you just how much of a man I can be”, he said lowly.

Damn werewolf hearing, I don’t want to be here.

I zoned out because it felt like I was intruding on something. I was brought back to the present when I heard the back door slam shut. Lola poked her head into the car through the driver’s side.

“I had fun today, Lola. Let’s do it again soon”, she smiled at me and I nodded at her. “I had fun too, thank you for the opportunity”, I smiled back at her.

“No problem,chica. It’s what friends do”, she looked towards Nathan before looking back at me. “Dickhead here is going to take you back to the house. My regards to Rose, and I almost forgot”, she brought out Adrian’s card, “tell her we had loads of fun with the card. See you later, baby girl”, she waved at me before walking away.

“The least you can do is thank me for using my car for your getaway”, Nathan shouted after her and she gave him the finger, making me giggle in response.

Nathan entered the car and I stiffened. I was still not comfortable around him.

“Good evening, Lola. Your hair suits you”, he said and I was shocked. “Thank you?” It came out as a question and he started the car, which I was grateful for.
