Chapter 35 – The Moon Wolf

I left the house in the evening around 5:30 pm. The packhouse looked beautifully decorated but amidst all, all I was searching for was the blue eyed beauty that living rent free in my head.

It was soon time and the whole packhouse was swarming with people but I did not see whom I was looking for. I entered the garden where the ceremony was to take place and Daxon started stirring inside me.

“What’s wrong, Dax? Is something going on?” I aksed and he said just one word, “Mate“. No sooner had he spoken when I locked eyes with the most beautiful lady I’ve ever seen.

She looked drop dead gorgeous and the black gown did not do justice to her beauty enough. I felt my heart beating rapidly in my chest but that wasn’t what amazed me.

For the first time since we’ve met, I felt connected to her wolf. Her eyes widened too as she seemed to feel it too. Lyla was talking to her but she seemed to be stuck in one place.

I made a move to go towards her when Fay stepped in front of me, making me lose eye contact with her for a moment.

I felt Daxon growl in my head at being interrupted from going to his mate. “What the fuck do you want, Fay“, i growled at her. She seemed to be scared for a moment before she smiled at me seductively.

“You did not call me since you left yesterday morning, Adrian. I was waiting for you“, she purred as she places her hands on my chest.

I felt rage running through my veins and resisted the urge to snap her f**king n*eck. I felt my eyes change colours, partly giving Daxon control.

“Get your filthy hands off my b*dy and know your place, pup“, i growled at her and she moved back in fear before scurrying away from me.

I looked up, searching for Lola but she was nowhere to be found. I wanted to feel more of what I felt when our eyes met.

I’m going to work to get her, I promised myself.

Dalia’s POV

I looked away and tugged on Lola’s hand so we could move away from Alexander’s sight. Of course, he wasn’t going to choose me, what was I thinking?

It just happened for a moment that Jasmine felt connected to his wolf and I happened to be affected too. He was quick to lose focus when that gorgeous woman stepped in front of him.

“Hey, hey, what’s the matter? Where are you dragging me to? And might I add that you’re adding a lot of pressure onto my wrist? It’s going to leave marks, if you don’t stop digging your fingers into my skin“, Lola lamented and that was when I realized that I was just moving without direction. I dropped her hands quickly and apologized.

“Were you trying to avoid someone? Did something happen?” She looked around, trying to find the source of my bizarre behavior and her eyes hardened when she saw Alexander and the said woman together.

“That b*tch!” She seethed. “She seriously needs to learn how to stay away from people’s mates“. I tugged on her arm to gain her attention.

“Let’s just get away from them, please. She can’t force herself on men if they did not give her attention. And besides, she’s drop dead gorgeous. I wouldn’t pick me over her either“, I gave her a small smile and her eyes clouded with sadness.

She made a move to argue but I shushed her. “It’s your day by the way, it should be enjoyed to the fullest. Not wasted over an argument that is pointless. Adrian chose her and that’s it, I can’t force myself on him, you know?” I said.

She looked like she was going to argue but dropped it after I pleaded with her with my eyes. She held my hand and led me towards a group of people chatting away happily.

I felt my palms sweating with nervousness as we moved towards the group of people. What if they think I’m a freak and cast me aside like my old pack? What if they think I’m not. good enough? A lot of thoughts were running through my mind and I could feel myself start to hyperventilate.

Lyla noticed this and came to a stop. “I can feel the gears turning in your head, Lola. Just relax and go with the flow. They’re amazing people and anyone that messes with you will have me to deal with“, she said to me in assurance and I felt slightly better knowing that there was at least one person that will stand up for me no matter what.

I gave her a smile and we continued over to the group of four people. “Look at who finally decided to show up“, a blonde girl who noticed us first spoke up, making us gain the attention of others.

“It’s my birthday, I’m allowed to take all the time in the world, no?” Lyla replied jokingly with her head held high in a royalty pose. “Of course, princess. You’re allowed to take all the time in the world, it’s your day afterall. Thank you for gracing us with your presence“, the female brunette in the group said as she bowed with mock courtesy and they all burst out laughing.

“And who’s the gorgeous lady with you, a black haired guy spoke up. “Lola here is our newest pack member. She’s drop dead gorgeous, no?” She said and they all nodded in agreement and smiled at me warmly. I returned it with a smile of my own and was relieved they did not cast me aside.

“Since Lyla isn’t going to introduce us to you, I might as well do the honors“, a guy with dyed blue hair spoke up before glaring at Lyla who just smiled at him..

“I am Alex, this is Avianca“, he said, pointing to the brunette in the group, who smiled at me warmly and I returned it, “This is Greg“, he pointed to the black haired guy who waved at me, “and lastly, Lotana“, he pointed to the blonde who gave me a large smile.

“It’s nice to meet all of you, I’m Lola“, I smiled at them too. “Oh my gosh, did you dye your hair? I love the color so much. I’ve been eyeing it since you got here. It looks so good and your eyes, oh your eyes. She’s gorgeous, Lyla“, Lotana gushed and I became red before saying ‘thank you‘.

“I know, right? She’s definitely a keeper. And I see Lyla all over her dress, she picked it, no?” Avianca asked and I nodded before looking over to Lyla who had a proud look in her eyes.
