Chapter 84 – The Moon Wolf

I didn’t stop until I reached the lake. I saw him curled up by the lake, still in his wolf form. I dropped the clothes that was in my mouth and trotted towards him, making him lift his head slightly to look at him. He looked amazed when he saw me and that was when I remembered that he had never seen me in my wolf form before.

“Jasmine?”, his voice came into my head, “is that you?” He asked. “Yeah, it’s me”, I replied to him. “You look so magnificent and beautiful”, he said in amazement, making me chuckle while Jasmine puffed out her chest. Such a silly wolf. “I know I’m.so amazing to look at”, she said with pride and I rolled my eyes at her.

“Why are you here alone? This is our spot, we should be here. together”, I said as I sat down beside him. He dropped his head on the floor in sadness, the excitement gone from his eyes. “I’m scared and anxious, Lola. What if Serena is right and I lose both if them? I wouldn’t be able to live with the fact that I didn’t at least do anything to save them”, he seemed to get dejected as the minutes passed by.

“I later tried Rose’s number a she picked up”, I said and he raised his head rapidly. “What did she say? Where are they?” He asked. “Well, she said they were 30 minutes away from here but the phone suddenly went off when she screamed for Jayden”, I told him.

“I already dispatched warriors to the pack boundaries with the order that they should leave the pack grounds if they are not sighted in 30 minutes”, I said, hoping it would calm him down and it seemed to work. “I should go with them too. I will be devastated if they actually encounter a situation we could have easily overcomed if we were larger in numbers”, he said as he stood on all fours.

I was about to speak when I felt a bond being severed in my chest, causing me a tremendous amount of pain. I looked at Adrian’s wolf form through my pain and my heart broke more. He knew who the bond belonged to. He let out a very loud howl which was echoed by pack members. It was an howl filled with pain and anguish and all the pack members felt the broken bond too.

I was about to speak again when Nathan’s voice came into my head. “They came in the car, Luna”, he said and i breathed a sigh of relief. Why was Adrian sad though? Which bond got broken?

“But only Luna Rose came in alive. She was seriously injured and has been taken to the clinic”, I closed the mindlink and got closer to my <

mate. “We should go. Adrian. We need to go and see Rose, she needs us the most right now”, I said solemnly.

“Yeah, we should”, his solemn voice rang through our mindlink and he nodded his wolfish head. I was so heartbroken and sad and I did not know how to comfort him.

I’ll find out what happened and deal with this later, Rose is the priority now.

Lola’s POV

We left the lakeside together but we separated when we reached the town. He went towards where the car was and I went straight to the hospital. I changed just before I got to the clinic and ran all the way to the clinic.

Lyla. Lotana, Avianca and Nathan’s Mom were all there. I rushed in, panting and out of breath. “Wh-where is she?” I asked immediately I reached where they were all standing. Lily, Nathan’s mom was the first to speak. “We haven’t been able to see her either but it very ghastly according to the people that brought her in and witnessed the scene”, shr explained but that did nothing to case my worries.

I wanted to scream but I reined it in, running my hands down my face instead. “Where’s the motherf ucking pack doctor?” I asked as I looked around for him. My voice was shaking and my breath was getting ragged. It just hit me hard that Jayden was no longer with us and Rose was fighting for her life just because they went on a trip that Adrian and I should have been on.

“Where’s the pack doctor?” I asked softly this time around, the energy in me was suddenly drained and I had no idea what I was doing. I just wanted to see Rose and that was the only thing on my mind.

Like magic, he appeared out of thin air and I rushed to meet him. “What’s the update? Is she fine? What was used on her? She’s going to make it right” I asked him tons of questions at once. Rose’s bond was growing weaker in my head by the second which scared the s hit out of mc.

She was the closest I have to a mother and I was sincerely scared of O

losing her even though I did not really show it on the inside. It was breaking me and I knew it was going to break Adrian more.

He lost his sister to these rogues, Jayden was no more and Rose was on the verge of death. They’ve taken too much from us, way too much. I needed to put an end to all of these and fast too.

I shook myself from my thoughts and focused on the doctor in front of me. “She’s alive but she’s not stable yet. She sustained a lot of injuries. and she would have healed but the wolfsbane in her b*dy prevented her from recovering fast”, he said. “The wolfsbane can be removed. from her b*dy, right? You have a way to do that, don’t you?” Lily asked from beside me and we all looked at the doctor in anticipation.

“It could have been possible if it were a normal wolfsbane but this one is stronger. It’s probably infused with black magic. It’s slowly spreading through her b*dy and numbing her or ga ns. It’s only a matter of time before her b*dy stops repelling the magic”, he explained.

Those da mn rogues and their f ucking witch.

I remembered how I was able to cure the warriors even though I blacked out after. “I have to see her”, I said but he seemed reluctant. “I demand to see her as your Luna and you won’t disrespect me by denying me the chance to see her”. I said, allowing my powers to sl*p into my voice which made him bou in submission.

I did not like having to coerce people into obeying me but they all seemed to not want to respect my decisions in some circumstances, especially matters relating to the pack and it pis ses me off.

“This might be harder to remove unlike the time Alpha Adrian got shot”, he tried to speak but I wasn’t having any of it. “I demand to see her right now”, I repeated to which he led the way to the room she was in.

I took a deep breath before I entered her room but I wasn’t prepared for what was in front of me. My legs almost gave out under me, thankfully, I was still holding onto the door handle and that was my saving grace.

She was unrecognisable. Her veins were black and protruding. Her once clear and pale skin looked sickly and dark. She looked dead, save the fall and rise of her chest, it looked painful for her to breathe. I did not know when a tear sl*pped down my cheeks, giving way to others that flowed freely.

I looked towards the doctor and he shook his head like he meant he was sorry. His eyes were sad and he looked tired too. The whole pack. was very silent also. I couldn’t hear anything for miles to come. The atmosphere was sad and depressing.

I slowly moved towards her bed and the doctor excused us, gently closing the door behind him. My limbs were shaking. I didn’t know how I managed to get to her bed without crumbling.

A part of me wanted to call Adrian because I needed the assurance and strength he gave me. Neither Jasmine nor I could bear the thought of her dying on us because we couldn’t do anything.

I slowly took hold of her hands that felt so cold to touch. I closed my eyes and tried to reach for my purity like I did the last time. I found the white light and held tightly to it, I then channelled the energy into the hands I was holding.

The more I held onto her hands, the more I felt like my blood was being replaced with molten lava. It felt hot but I refused to let go of her hands, I wanted her to survive so bad. No, I needed her to survive. It did not know how Adrian was going to turn out when he found out that both his parents passed away when I could have helped.

“You know he’s not going to think about you that way. It’s about time.

III we fully trusted Adrian, he’s proven himself over and over”, Jasmine said in my head but I couldn’t reply because I needed my full concentration to be able to neutralise all of the wolfsbane.

I suddenly felt like I was being pulled into the white light. I refused. and held on but I kept sl*pping and losing consciousness. I felt my name being called but I couldn’t answer the voice, it was event unrecognisable.

“You can let go now, child” an angelic voice said in my head and I allowed myself to be pulled into the world of darkness.

Lola’s POV

“Open your eyes, Lola”, a voice said and I slowly awakened. I gasped and sat up when I saw the face behind the voice. A very beautiful woman was standing above me, her eyes were the colour of nature, a beautiful, alluring shade of green. Her hair was pure white, the same shade as the white gown she was wearing. Her skin looks milky and amazing and I was just shocked by her beauty.

“Se-selene?” I asked with a stutter and she nodded her head with a smile. “Selene? Oh my goddess. it’s really you?” I asked in a shocked manner and she laughed. “Yes, it’s me Lola”, she chuckled softly and the sound was melodious and magical to my ears.
