Luna Lola-The Moon Wolf

Lola’s POV

My heart broke more when I saw him in tears. Those motherf**king rogues! I pulled him closer and allowed him to rest his head on my chest while he cried. Every moment I saw his shoulder shake from grieving for his lost sister, the rage inside of me grew.

I have to put an end to their menace, they already took a lot from me. Not only did they deprive me of a good life for eight years, I had to go through heartbreak because of their actions. I lost my family andProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

almost lost my mate too.

Jasmine kept growling angrily in my head and the weather suddenly changed. The sky kept rumbling and it looked like it was about to rain. I did not realize Adrian had stopped crying until I felt him rubbing my back to calm me down.

I gradually relaxed and the soothing touch on my back helped calm Jasmine also. “Hey, hey, it’s okay”, Adrian said gently and I hugged him tighter to me.

“That’s why you almost rejected me? Because I came into Crescent moon pack as a rogue?” I asked after he had already raised his head from my b*dy. He nodded before sighing.

“I was such an idiot to believe that she was my mate. She came into the pack battered and beaten and I fell for her the moment I saw her”, he said.

Jasmine growled in my head and threatened to take over but I stopped her. “He fell for someone else on sight but it took a near death experience for him to acknowledge us”, she growled angrily in my

head.

“That’s what he’s trying to explain. You have to calm down and allow us to hear him out. We’re trying to make this work, isn’t that rifht??” She calmed down and I was able to focus on Adrian that was in front of me.

“I believed she was my mate but Daxon didn’t. I was so sure I felt everything that Mom and Dad said I’d feel whenever I met my mate but Daxon didn’t feel the same. I’d do anything she requested from me because she was my mate, or so I thought”.

“No one liked her, not Ariana, Mom, Dad, nob*dy liked her and I thought they were all against us because she was a rogue so I became distant from everyone and wouldn’t want to hear anything they wanted to say”, he took a deep breath and I patted his back.

“A month after I met her, she started acting strange but I overlooked it, she was my mate after all”, he continued. “What behaviors?” I asked curiously.

“She’d ask about the circumstances surrounding Ariana’s birth”, ohhhhhh, Ariana is the name of his sister. “She wanted to know everything about her which I found strange but I chalked it up to just wanting to get to know about my family”, he answered sadly.

“Ariana called me one day and said she had something to tell me concerning Ennia but I refused to hear her out. I had been brainwashed into thinking that anyone that had something to say about her did not like her and would try to pull us apart”.

“Daxon warned me repeatedly that he did not feel anything for her as a mate but I was so sure she was my ordained mate. It wasn’t until I held Ariana’s b*dy as she took her last breath that I realized what stupid mistake I had made”, he took a deep breath at this point and I

understood that it must be hard for him to talk about the death of his

sister.

“How did she die?” I asked. I wanted to know just what was done to such an innocent soul.

“Ennia drove a knife through her heart”, another tear rolled down his face and he rushed to wipe it. “She was caught in the action by Mom and was imprisoned. It was when she was in the dungeon that I came to know about her plans and how I fell right into it”.

“She was sent to kill me as I was the next Alpha King. A witch made it possible for me to feel the mate bond with her but Daxon wasn’t affected. If only I wasn’t so desperate to get a mate, I wouldn’t have lost Ari”, he whispered sadly and I held him closer to my b*dy.

“It’s okay if you want to stop talking about it. Adrian”. I said gently but he shook his head in disagreement. “I have to. I want to explain everything to you, baby”, he muttered and I nodded.

After a while, he continued speaking. “The plan was to abduct Ariana thinking she was the Moon Wolf because the moon wolf was supposedly birthed to a powerful family but it all changed when they found out that the moon wolf was birthed to another pack. Her mission changed from abducting Ariana to killing me”.

“How did she know that you did not have a mate initially?” I asked again. I was really confused at this point. “Everyone in the wolf world knew I was searching for my mate. It wasn’t a private matter, baby”, he answered.

“So who sent her? You asked her that much right?” I asked. At least they must have asked that before executing her. “We did but she couldn’t answer”, he answered. “Why?”

“She bled to death before she could answer. Some kind of magic forbade her from telling the truth”, he breathed out.

“That was what spiked my hatred for rogues. They cost me my sister and I was on a rampage for a while. Daxon was out for blood and so was I”, he said.

“That was what made me react the way I did when I found out you were my mate in the dungeon. Even though Daxon said you were my mate, I did not want to believe it”, he finished sadly and I sighed.

I’d have been wary if I were him also. I totally understood where he was coming from.

I stood up and he looked at me quizzically. “We have to leave”, I said and he looked at me in question. “Why?”

“To see Serena”

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