Luna Lola-The Moon Wolf

Lola’s POV 

When I came to, I was expecting to see Adrian’s face first but instead I was met with Rose’s. Her eyes looked so sunken and she looked like. she had lost a lot of weight in the amount of time I had left the pack. 

She looked so happy, yet so sad when our eyes met. She couldn’t say a word, she just cupped my face before gently rubbing her thumbs over my checks. I was about to open my mouth when she spoke. 

“Ro….”. I started but she cut me off. “I thought…”, she took a deep breath before she spoke again. “I thought you have finally been taken away from me”, she said, her voice breaking at the end. “I thought I was never going to see you again”, she started crying at this point and I pulled her to me, hugging her tightly. 

“Have a little belief in me, will you?” I said to her, “I wasn’t going to leave you like that without at least fighting for my life, am I a joke to you?” I teased her and she laughed through her tears. 

“You scared me”, she whispered and I nodded. “I’m sorry for worrying you like that”, I whispered back before I hugged her tightly and we silently cried while holding on to each other. I realized how she must have felt, it must have been like she was reliving how she lost Ariana to the rogues eight years ago. 

“You don’t have to be our savior”, she said after a while. I thought I heard her wrong so I asked her what she said again. “You don’t have to save us all”, she repeated loudly. “You don’t have to carry the burden of it all. Everyone should be able to fight against these rogues if we plan it well. I don’t want to see you get into another problem, all in the name of trying to save us all”, she said, tearing up again. 

I didn’t want to drag the matter with her so I nodded. I know she had gone into depression before when I was unconscious for days, I could imagine what my total disappearance did to her. 

“You’re still going to put yourself in harm’s way, aren’t you?” She asked and I was at a loss for words. I didn’t want to worry her and I didn’t want to lie to her either. She looked at me expectantly, waiting for an answer and I sighed before I spoke up. 

“I can’t just sit back while these motherfuckers make us their slaves and treat us like trash”, I said angrily, my voice rising with every word. “I know the sacrifices that were made for me to leave that goddamn, psycho place without any serious damage”, I told her. 

I remembered Fay and knew that she was either dead or in a worse condition than death and tear da 

threatened to burst for the nth time that day. I didn’t want to break down in Rose’s presence so I looked away from her to take deep breaths before turning to her again. 

“Can you at least promise to stay safe?” She asked but before I could answer that, the door opened and my amazing mate came through the door, looking slightly better than when I saw him before I passed out. 

“She just regained consciousness, Mom. Can you allow her to breathe and relax before bombarding her with questions?” He chastised Rose and the latter pouted at him. “It’s been a long time since I saw her, can’t I have the whole of today with her?” She said and I chuckled a bit. I didn’t realize how much I had missed watching them bicker until now. I kept mute and just watched the interaction between them. It felt good to be back even though it might not last for long with what is about to come upon us but at least, I’ll enjoy the moment while it lasts. 

“You need to rest, Mom. She’s not going anywhere. I’m sure she’ll be glued to you at the hood once the doctor confirms that she’s healthy enough to move around”, Adrian said. “But I’m healthy enough to…….”. I started to speak but Adrian glared at me and I piped down 

immediately. I forgot he was going to be very protective of me now. 

Just as I stopped speaking, Lyla and Avianca came in. At the sight of them. I broke down in tears. I didn’t know why I started crying at the sight of them but they also seemed to have the same feeling. Adrian led Rose out of the room, leaving us alone in the room and I sent a silent thanks to him. 

“Thank you”. I said through our mindlink. “You guys need it. Let me know if you need anything else”, he said before closing the mindlink. 

“Are you guys just going to stand there?” I managed to get out when they refused to move from their spot. I held out my hands and they both came to hug me tightly. Well, Lyla waddled but you get my drift. 

We hugged for a long period of time, just relishing the feeling of being together again. Lyla held my face in her hands when we separated from each other. 

“I swear I’m going to kill Lotana by myself when I finally get my hands on her”, she seethed, her b*dy vibrating. “Woah, woah, calm down. missy. You can’t get angry in your situation. the pack doctor told you that”, Avianca said, holding her gently by her shoulder. “Let’s take deep breaths now, shall we?” She said to Lyla and the latter nodded. “Breathe in, breathe outttttt”, they continued the cycle for a while before Lyla finally stopped vibrating with anger. 

“What was that about the pack doctor? Is something wrong with Lyla or baby?” I asked, panic slowly rising in me. “Nuh-uh, she’s fine. She just has to be relaxed since she’s already getting heavy”, Avianca said and I breathed a sigh of relief. 

Silence descended upon us after that which is very unusual for us. We all knew we had to address the elephant in the room but no one wanted to talk about it first. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“I’m going to be the one to talk about it if no one is going to”, Lyla said. “Did you at least see her when you got there?” She asked me and I nodded my head. We all knew who she was talking about, only one person was missing in this room after all 

“What did she say the reason for her actions was? Did you pet an explanation?” Avianca asked me with glossy eyes She must be having it harder since they were best friends before I even entered the equation. I nodded and they looked at me expectantly. 

“Well, what happened was…….”.
