Chapter 34 – The Moon Wolf

She was clad in a green floor length gown with cow–n*eck showing off her milky skin. She looked breath–taking and amazing. We walked out together hand–in hand, my nerves getting the best of me.

The pack house was filled to the brim and swarming with people. I felt nervous but Lyla squeezed my hand to assure me that she was with me every step of the way.

We walked into the garden decorated especially for the occasion. “You’re doing good Lola. You look breath–taking too“, she smiled at me as we moved farther into the garden.

No sooner had she said those words when I locked eyes with Adrian. I felt like all the wind was knocked out of my lungs as I took him in.

Adrian’s POV

It was already a day after what happened with Fay and Daxon still wasn’t talking to me. It wasn’t like he was gone, I could feel him in my head, I could feel his presence with me but his petty ass wouldn’t speak to me.

Mom and Dad were not speaking to me either, I was an outcast in my own house and I could not even blame anyone but myself I was awake early and I listened for any movements from Lola’s room as discovered that she was awake too. I wondered what she was thinking about that made her lose her sleep.

She seemed to be excited about something and I almost went to her room to ask her what was happening with her. I wanted to know everything about her. I wanted to be the one she could easily open to about everything but I lost that opportunity.

I remembered the scars I saw on her b*dy and felt anger surged through me again. I wanted to know the history behind every scar and make the people who did that to her, pay.

I heard footsteps echoing in the hallways and smelt Dad going towards Lola’s room. I sat up abruptly and listened carefully to what was going on.

Apparently, Lola wants to start training and dad was helping her out. It was only then that I relaxed. I realized what I had thought towards dad and was mortified over the way I thought towards him. I’ve been alive for 25 years and I’ve never heard that of him, why am I suddenly being so overprotective of Lola?

y I rubbed the bridge of my nose with my fingers and decided to go back to sleep. I was losing it and it wasn’t helping that Daxon was being a petty b*tch.

I woke up when I heard light footsteps patter down the hallway. The scent told me it was Lola and she seemed pretty excited. I could hear her showering and my perverted mind couldn’t help but wonder what she’ll look like under me and how much her moans of pleasure will be a source of pleasure to me.

About 30 minutes later,I heard her door open and she left her room. Her steps stopped in front of me for a while and I could hear her heart beating crazily. I wanted nothing more than her knocking on the door so I can have her in my arms and apologize for my wrong deeds.

She eventually went on her way without knocking on the door and I felt so disappointed. I could not even go down for breakfast because I was ashamed to face Lola or my parents.

“Hey man. You good?“, Nathan’s voice rang through the mindlink and I’ve never been so happy to have someone speak to me. The loneliness was starting to get to me.

“Nathan. I’m fine, bro. What’s up“, I said, trying to keep the excitement out of my voice. He did not seem to notice as he carried on.

“Will you be at the pack house today?” He asked and I was confused. Why do I need to be at the pack house? I can’t remember any event happening at the pack house.

“Why should I be at the pack house? Am I missing something?” I asked and I could tell he facepalmed the way he always does whenever I forget something I’m meant to remember.

“It’s Lyla’s coming of age ceremony and it was organized by the Luna. How come you have no idea? Is everything okay? You sound out of it too“, I sighed when he asked his questions but didn’t give him an answer to it anyways.

He dropped the matter and I sighed before going downstairs to eat. The living room was empty but I could smell Dad in the house which meant only Lola and Mom went out and they could only go to one place. The packhouse.

I hurriedly ate my food so I could get ready to go the packhouse. It was only an excuse to see Lola, knowing fully well that Lyla is her only friend and she would be in public with her all through the ceremony.

I was just getting out of the shower when Nathan’s voice sounded in my head loudly, in excitement.

“I found my mate, bro“, he shouted excitedly in my head and i broke into a smile.

“That’s really cool, man. I’m so excited for you“, I replied him in excitement too. I was really excited for him. We’re both 25 and he’s been looking for his mate for a while.

I was confused about a thing though, he’s always been in the pack, how did he just find his mate today? It clicked in my head.

“Lyla is your mate, isn’t she?” I asked and he eagerly answered. “Yeah, she is. How did you know though?” He laughed into the mindlink.

“It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out, man. You’ve always been in the pack and now you got your mate the same day she turned 18“. It was pretty obvious to be honest.

I was very happy for him. He’d always been in love with Lola since we were teenagers but he hid it because he wanted to find his mate. He did not want to lead her on or have her believe that they could be together. I was so happy it turned out well for him.

“I’d see you at the pack house later“, I said before I closed the mindlink. I settled in what to wear but decided to wait in the house till it was almost time for the ceremony. It will be awkward to be around Mom.
