Chapter 80 – The Moon Wolf

I felt sticky and wanted to clean up but he held me back. “I know you’re feeling sleepy, go on, I’ll take care of you”, he said and that was when I allowed myself to fall asleep.

Lola’s POV

I slowly opened my eyes and I was met with gorgeous green and hazel eyes that seemed to see through my soul. It took me a a while to remember what transpired between I and the owner of the eyes in the early hours of the morning. And in a total of 0.01 seconds, I was red all over from embarrassment.

“Now you’re hiding from me? I believe that you were so bold and confident a few hours ago”, he teased me. I buried my face in the pillow harder and heard him chuckling above me.

I tried to move away from him but I felt a piercing pain in my core. I tried to keep the sound of pain in but I couldn’t. Adrian noticed and sat up so fast. I wondered where he got his energy from.

“Are you okay, baby? Are you hurt? S hit, did I hurt you? I knew I should have taken it easy on you. Stu pid, stu pid, stu pid”, he kept rambling and blaming himself. Looking at his adorable worried face made me forget what happened to me in the first place.

I couldn’t stop myself from giggling and he glared at me making me giggle harder. “Is this a funny situation to you? I hurt you” He said to me. I tried to hide my giggle behind my palm but I failed at it. “I’m sorry”. I managed to squeeze out through my fit of laughter. “You look. so adorable”. I said and he pouted.

“You mean I look so manly and se xy?” He questioned while flexing his muscles, making me laugh harder. “Oh please, stop doing that. You’re making my eyes hurt from such a show*, I told him but he continued. doing it.

He stopped after a while and gently placed me on his laps. “I’m sorry I hurt you, I should have been more careful”, he said softly as he stroked my hair. “It’s fine, Adrian. You did not know and besides, I’m not complaining so stop apologizing”.

He opened his mouth to apologize again but I stopped him. “Since you have so much energy to apologize, why don’t you carry me into the bathroom? I need to pee”, he smiled before effortlessly lifting me into his arms and headed towards the bathroom.

He gently placed me down and waited but I chased him out of the bathroom. His words were, “I’m going to wait till you’re done so I can carry you back”, he leaned against the bathroom door. “Uhm, I’m pretty sure I can find my own way back into the room”, I argued but he refused to leave the bathroom and I was very pressed.

I instinctively looked him in the eye and said, “you’re going to leave the bathroom and patiently wait for me in the room till I’m done here”, I said in a voice that sounded strange to my ears. Adrian’s eyes seemed to dilate before he nodded and left me alone in the bathroom.

I did not give it much thought because I had to case myself. I did so with a little bit of difficulty. I washed up and walked out of the bathroom still limping a bit. Adrian’s pupils were still dilated until I tapped his shoulder. He looked lost for a while before his eyes focused again.

“You’re done?” He asked confused. “I was pretty sure I was with you just now. It feels a little bit fuzzy though. I can’t remember anything after the time you told me to leave and I refused”, he said and I became more intrigued.

“Well, I told you to leave and you did without asking any questions”, I told him, “your pupils were a bit dilated though. It was almost like you were hypnotized”, his eyes widened in shock at the information I gave him.

“No way! Hypnotism was definitely not in the book that talked about the Moon Wolf. This is so amazing, baby”, he smiled heartily at me and I returned it with a shy smile.

“We should tell Dad about this”, he said happily. I swear he was more excited about my powers that I am. I went into my room to change my outfit while he dressed up too. We met at the top of the stairs and went downstairs together.

“If it isn’t our Alpha and his Luna”, Rose teased us when she saw us coming down the stairs into the kitchen. “Rose, please stop it”, I lightly laughed and she joined me.

“I made food for you but it went cold already since you both took eternity to come downstairs”, she said and Jayden coughed slightly beside her. I became slightly red from embarrassment. They definitely heard everything that went down between Adrian and I.

“You were not particularly quiet for a house where werewolves live”, he laughed as he spoke in my head and i wanted to hit him. “We”.

you’re so helpful”, I retorted sarcastically and he gave me a big smile. As shole.

“You should eat first before we discuss a lot of pending issues”, Jayden said and we both nodded. Adrian made me sit while he did everything, he microwaved the food and dished it out.

“How in the world is a man so perfect”, Jasmine purred in my head and I agreed. “He looks like Adonis and he knows how to take care of a woman? We got lucky”, I said and she hummed. “You’re definitely right. And he sure knows how to f uck”, she giggled and my eyes. widened in shock. “Jasmineeeeee, you can’t say that”, I chastised her, she just rolled her wolfish eyes at me.

“Why can’t she say that?” Adrian asked as he set my plate of food in front of me and I lightly shrieked. “You can’t keep listening to my conversations like that”. I glared at him. “Then block me from listening to them”. he said before poking his tongue out at me. I swear, I feel like I’m mated to an overgrown baby sometimes.

We ate while conversing. Our conversation was mainly him making me turn to the shade of a very ripe tomato. We did the dishes together. against his will. I refused to just sit and be useless while he does everything for me.

Jayden and Rose were still sitting in the living room when we finished. “Mom, Dad, we have something to show you”, Adrian said to gain their attention. Rose turned to face us while Jayden just nodded to show that he was listening.

“Come on, go ahead. Show them”, Adrian urged me while Rose looked at me expectantly. I raised my head and looked straight into Rose’s eyes. “you’ll go into the kitchen and make chocolate chip mu ff in for the whole pack”. I said. Her pupils dilated and she stood up without asking questions. I had Jayden’s attention at that point, even Adrian gasped.

Before Rose could being out the ingredients she needed, I tapped her gently and she snapped out of it. “Uhm, what am I doing in the kitchen? I already cooked”, she groaned, holding her forehead.

“Lola hypnotized you”, Adrian spoke up. “That’s her new ability.

O

Adrian’s POV

“She can hypnotize now?” Mom asked, intrigued and I nodded. My mate is surely full of surprises. She looked shy and looked down at her hands, wringing them together. With the rate at which she wrung her hands together, I was surprised her limbs were still intact.

“I think it’s high time she started training properly, that way she can improve on herself more and we can discover more of her talents”, Dad said from where he sat. I wanted to disagree with him since I didn’t want her to push herself too hard, but it was necessary.

We might try to ignore the fact that the war was upon us but it doesn’t stop the fact that we have to face it sooner or later. For the past two weeks, it’s been unusually quiet like he was waiting for the perfect time to strike again.

The ceremony was held in hopes of catching the traitor or at least making him show his face since I was going to be officially introducing Lola as the Luna of my pack. Instead, a hysterical Fay almost ruined our party.

Yeah, Fay. I almost forgot..

“Nathan”, I called through our mindlink. “Yes, Alpha”, he replied in a teasing tone and I shook my head with a slight smile. “Aren’t you. supposed to be enjoying your time with our Luna right now? What do you want to tell me that can’t wait?” He asked. “I’m not on honeymoon and I just got crowned, I need to take care of pack issues too”, I told him.

“What does your highness want?” He asked, sarcasm dripping from his words but I ignored him. “What of Fay? Have you checked in with the guards that took her into the dungeon? Has she been questioned or I need to come in?” I asked, a bit aggressive. My blood boiled when I remembered how she almost took out my mate. She might have been. dead if I had not taken the bullet for her.

“I was on my way before you reached out. I’ll let you know when I get there. Do you want to question her yourself or I should do so and report back to you?” He asked. “I’ll come in to question her myself, I’ll be there in an hour”, I said. “And Nathan?” I called out to him again. “Yes, buddy”, he replied. “Check if the Moonlit pack traitors have been fed. Lola still holds a soft spot for them”, I said and I could picture him nodding his head. “Sure, I’d get back to you on that”. And with that, the midlink closed off.

“Who were you talking to?” My queen asked me when I finally focused on their conversation again. “Nathan. I asked him to report the situation at the dungeon to me”, I said before standing up. Lola stood up after me too.

“I’m going to the dungeon to question Fay, baby. You should stay here with Mom and Dad”, I said and her face contorted in rage. “If you’re going to question that bit ch, I’d like to be there too. I want to know why she thought it was okay to shoot my mate”, her voice had changed and I knew Jasmine was coming to the surface.

“Da mn! She looks so se xy when she’s enraged”, Daxon said in my head. and I rolled my eyes. Finished wolf. He wasn’t lying though, she looked hot as hell.

“You said you wouldn’t be stepping foot in the dungeon again. Why are you suddenly changing your mind?” She looked shaken up before she masked it. She was about to open her mouth when Nathan’s voice. sounded in my head.
