Luna Lola-The Moon Wolf

Lola’s POV

The rogue king”

I looked at Adrian. Lyla and Avianca and they all looked shocked too. “B-but he’s dead. He’s dead, right?” I asked no one in particular as I sat on the floor with my head in my hands.

I did not know how I felt about the piece of information. Fear? Anger? Pain? I did not know which one was more prominent. I was scared that the man who killed my parents was still on the lookout for me and would do anything to get me for himself. I was angry that he was still alive after ruining my life and wanted revenge on him. Jasmine was growling with anger in my head.

“Where did you see him? How did you know he was the one?” I asked rapidly. Adrian placed a hand on my shoulder, trying to calm met down. “If he was bold enough to show his face and kill Jayden, it must be that he isn’t planning to hide anymore and the war will be upon us soon”. I said to Adrian and he nodded in understanding.

“I understand what you’re trying to say but let’s hear Mom out first. This might be a way forward for us. A difference from the dead ends we’ve always met”, he responded in my head.

“Mom, what exactly happened? How did you know he was the one? I need you to be strong and tell me everything, Mom”, he said softly to Rose. She took a while before she sniffled and sat up well.

“Well, we were on our way back from the Moonlit pack when I saw Lola’s call. She asked if there was anyone around us but I thought she was just being paranoid”, she said with so much emotion. “I’m sorry I

doubted you”. she whispered to me and I nodded my head, “maybe we might have been saved if I had allowed him to speed up the way he did”. she sniffled agam.

“I was speaking before a figure jumped in front of the car, and that was why I shouted before the line disconnected. The figure seemed to be running from someone, so Jayden and I got down to check in out”.

“The figure seemed unmoving and we thought he was dead. I got my phone from the car to call for help from the pack since we were close to it but something shocking happened”, she paused to blow her nose into the tissue that Adrian was holding for her.

She took a while and I was starting to get impatient but I took deep breaths to calm myself. She finished blowing her nose and continued her story.

“It was a trap, Adrian”, she whispered, holding onto Adrian’s arms. He seemed shaken too and hugged her tightly to his b*dy. That was when it dawned on me that I was so focused on the pain and anger of losing my family, whom I can’t really remember, to the mo therf ucker, that I forgot that others were grieving too.

I shifted close to Rose and placed my head on her lap, a subtle way to show my support emotionally and be there for her. She gently rubbed my head before she continued.

“Before I could comprehend what was going on, we’ve been

surrounded by feral looking wolves but they had not just attacked yet. It was like they were waiting for command from someone, a rare sight among rogues since they don’t take commands from anyone”, she said. I looked towards where Lyla and Avianca were and they looked so shocked and comical. I almost laughed but the seriousness of the matter at hand kept me from doing that.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Jayden was ready to fight and was even protecting the wolf that was

on the forest floor. We thought it was being chased by the rogues until it transformed into a human and sat up. The strange thing was that when he transformed, he was fully clothed”, she said and we all looked bewildered

That was very strange indeed. I’ve never heard of a wolf turning back into human with clothes on except…… I looked towards Rose and she nodded. “Yes Lola, only black magic can enable that and we all know the only person that uses black magic”, she said.

“What happened next. Mom?” Adrian asked impatiently, anger underlying his words. “He looked so young and calm, yet there was something evil about him. Jayden, let the moon bless his soul, pulled me behind him to shield me from the mo therf ucker. He told us he was Damon, Elias’ son and asked us how we loved the gifts he randomly dropped for you”, Adrian growled at the mention of me and a shudder ran through my spine, and it wasn’t in a good way.

“He then commanded his wolves to tear us into pieces because we were going to be another gift for Lola”, she was crying again at this point “Jayden fought, he took down almost all of them and when he was about to go for the rogue king, he disappeared into thin air”.

Whew, that was a lot but I was still confused as to how she got her injuries even if it was the injury Jayden got that killed him. “How did you get the venomous wolfsbane in you?” Lyla asked the question that was at the tip of my tongue.

“When we turned to leave, he returned and shot both of us. He left as soon as he came. Jay was too weak to be able to fight off the venom so I had to drive us to the pack. Ile died before we could make it halfway”, she sobbed.

“I felt our mate bond severe when he took his last breath, he breathed his last with his hands in mine, his eyes on me”, she was sobbing uncontrollably but still managed to speak through her tears. “His last

words were, “Lola and Adrian must bring an end to this”, he did not even get to tell me that he loved me”, she wept.

Adrian hugged his mother as she cried, his jaw was rigid while tears ran down his cheeks. “I promise you that we’re going to put an end to everything he has been doing. I don’t care who he has on his side”, I swore to Adrian through our mindlink and he nodded.

It was time to finally put him in his place. Jayden’s death was the final
