Chapter 68 – The Moon Wolf

The earlier I can get answers to my questions, the earlier I’d be able to put these motherf**kers in their place.

Lola’s POV

We did not waste any more time in the park and drove back to the mall. It was already evening by the time we got there and I was starting to think that Serena would have left but her spa was still open when we got there.

She was sitting in the reception sipping tea almost like she was waiting for someone. “Serena”, I called when she did not look up to meet out eyes when we entered.

She sighed and raised her hands towards the heavens like she was thanking them. “Argh, thank the Moon goddess. I almost gave up on waiting for you, what took you so long?” She asked as she got up to meet us.

“Adrian”, she greeted him with a slight bow and he returned with one of his. “Please have a seat. I prepared tea for us, although I almost finished it while waiting for you to get here”, she gestured towards the table I met her resting at.

“I’ll take it that you already know what I came here for”, I said but she ignored and kept filling our cups. “I think it’s still good”, she retorted after taking a sip from the cup, totally ignoring my question.

I marched towards her and she sighed before looking up from what she busied herself with. “Oh dear. You might as well take a seat since you’re near the chair”, she gestured to the chair behind me before she continued filling the cups again.

Adrian came to sit beside me. He put his hand on my leg that was shaking uncontrollably and gave it a squeeze. I smiled at him and he nodded reassuringly at me.

Serena took her time before she came to sit down. I sat up and she smiled warmly at me. “Now, now, Lola. Relax and be comfortable”.

“Serena, I need answers. I’m sure you already know why I’m here, let’s not waste anymore time and go straight to the point”, I started while she took a sip of her tea before she nodded.

“Why am I suddenly having memories of my parents and brother that I didn’t even know existed? Is this related to the war we’re about to fight? What am I supposed to do to fully reach my potential? When exactly is the war going to take place?” I fired rapidly at her.

“Wow, you sure have a lot of questions”, she said, making me roll my eyes. I wasn’t in the mood for all of her jokes. Adrian’s story had further fueled me to do something about the raging psycho that wished to make me his.

“I’ll start from the last question. The time the war will take place solely depends on you and what decisions you make in weeks, months or probably years to come “, she stated and I nodded even though I got more confused.

My decisions? Is there anything relating to this war that doesn’t come back to me being in the center of it all? Adrian must not have noticed my distress because he squeezed my legs again.

“To reach your full potential, it’s pretty simple”, she looked at Adrian as she spoke. “You have to mark each other”, she dropped and it seemed like all the air in the room suddenly vanished. Everywhere was still and we all seemed to hold our breath.

“Adrian, I know you don’t want to agree to that but it’s the only way. The only way forward is gor you to grow stronger together and what other way to do that than marking your mate and becoming one with them”, she looked Adrian in the eye as she spoke. I heard him sigh beside me and it was my turn to squeeze his legs.

“Concerning your parent’s memories and suddenly remembering your brother, it’s a clue to who killed your parents which will in turn lead you to the person that’s out to get you”, she said and then sipped her tea. I waited for her to say more but she kept quiet.

“And what exactly might that clue be?” I asked after a while. “Your old pack”, she replied. “My old pack”, I asked again and she nodded her head.

What has my old pack got to do with my powers? They did not even know I had a wolf. The only reason they treated me badly was because I was the cause of Mom and Dad’s death, right?

“Or was it?” Jasmine asked in my head and I got more confused. Andrew and Natalie couldn’t have been in on all of these right? They were loyal to Mom and Dad, they wouldn’t have done that to them.

“Yet, they switched on us the moment they died”, Jasmine argued and I felt rage boiling through me. They’re going to pay dearly if they were ever part of the people that knew about what happened to Mom and Dad.

“I take it that we’re done here”, Serena said before she stood up and with a wave of her hand, the cups on the table disappeared. “Whenever you have any other questions, you can just summon me instead of going through the troubles of coming here”, she said with a slight bow.

Adrian bade her goodbye while I stepped into the already dark night. “Do you still want us to go back tonight or we could just find somewhere to stay”, he said when he came out and stood beside me.

“Let’s just stay around till tomorrow, I might have questions for Serena again in the morning”, I said monotonously and he nodded before leading me towards the car.

We drove around for a while before we found a hotel. We went in and booked a room for both of us. Throughout the whole process, I felt like I was being watched but I spoke it off. It was probably just me being paranoid.

When we got to the room, we took turns showering and then slept off in each other’s arms after all. I had a restless sleep that night.

Unknown’s POV

“They just went into a room at the hotel”, a voice came in through the receiver and I nodded. “Keep me updated and let me know if there’s a new development”, I ordered before hanging up.

I just need her to reach her full potential. Once she does, She’ll be mine and no one will be able to stop me. With a smile on my face, I continued sipping my rum till I blacked out.

Lola’s POV

I woke up in the early hours of the morning, way before Adrian did and kept thinking of how to get Natalie and Andrew to Crescent moon and find out their role in the death of my parents.

To be candid, I was scared of them. They played an important role is f**king with my self-esteem and person as a whole. If they had not given that order that I should be demoted to an omega, no one would have treated me like trash.

I trashed and turned until the sun rose. I was about to stand up and start lacing when strong hands pulled me closer by my waist and snuggled into me. I felt at peace amd relaxed into his touch.

“What’s got you worried, baby?” He asked huskily and even though my mind was troubled, I still found myself the getting slightly wet. He sniffed the air and smiled against my skin.

I definitely wasn’t slightly wet.

“Your arousal is driving me crazy. Now imagine what it’s taking me to stop Daxon from being naughty with you right now”, I suppressed a moan. I made the mistake of moving closer to him and his morning wood poked me right in the my core.

“You’re making it so hard to not take you right now”, he groaned and slightly moved his lower b*dy away from mine. I whined at the loss of contact and he chuckled slightly.

“Let’s talk about what was bothering you when I woke up. That’s not important right now, baby”, he said while he sat up, taking me with him.

I sighed before speaking. “I need to get in touch with Andrew and Natalie, the Alpha and Luna of my former pack but I don’t know how to go about it”, I confessed.

“We can just go to your former pack and talk to them”, he said but I shook my head vigorously. “Why baby?” He asked when I disagreed with him.

“I’m scared”, I opened up to him. “I don’t want to go back to that pack. The fact that they might be involved in my parent’s death makes me more scared. What if they hurt me again? I don’t ever want to go back there, that pack holds a lot of bad memories for me”, I finished and buried my head in his n*eck.

Adrian kept quiet for a while but I could hear him grinding his jaw in anger. “Adrian?” I called out when he refused to speak after a while.
