Luna Lola-The Moon Wolf



Lola's POV

It was silent afterwards. They were dead. They were killed. It kept ringing in my head over and over again. I did not know how to feel about it. Sure, they were the reason I spent 8 years of my life in pain and agony but I did not wish death on them. I did not get the satisfaction I thought I would get from the news of their demise.

"Baby, Lola, look at me please', Adrian said as he gently shook me. I shook my head to get the thoughts that were running through it away before looking at him with what was probably numbness. I wasn't sure he could read any emotions from my eyes.

"Are you okay?" He asked again and I nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I'm totally fine. Let me see them, I want to see them", I said and tried to enter the dungeon again but he wouldn't let me. I knew he was trying to protect me so I did not fight against him. Judging by the strong stench of blood in the air, they were probably murdered brutally.

"And Fay? Where's she? Dead too?" I asked him and he sighed. "Fay is gone. She disappeared into thin air with no traces of her existence", he said.

I bent down and placed my head in my hands. I should have known that she was the traitor because why was she taken alive? Adrian made to lift me up but I held up my hand to stop him. "I'm good. I'm good", I said but he didn't looked convinced.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"We should never ignore our gut feelings, Lola", Jasmine said in my head. "You're definitely right. If I had told Adrian immediately I noticed it, she might have confessed by now", I sighed into my hands before I gently stood up.

"And the warriors? Will they be fine?" I asked him. He looked taken aback for a while before he answered. "I will have the pack doctor check them out. He's on his way", he answered me unsurely.

I understood why he was that way. Everyone probably expected me to act out and cry over the fact that they were dead but I couldn't, I just couldn't cry over it. I was more overwhelmed by guilt than sadness. I felt like all of it was my fault and I was angry that I ignored my instincts about Fay.

"Are you totally okay?" Adrian asked in my head and I gave him a lazy smile. "Of course, Adrian. I'm perfectly fine " I replied to him but he still looked unconvinced. "It's perfectly okay for you to cry, you don't have to bottle it up", he said calmly in my head, making me roll my eyes. "What I feel is more of guilt than sadness. If only I had told you my instincts regarding Fay, we might have caught the traitor", I told him.

Just then, the pack doctor came and checked out one of the warriors. "It's Valerian, Alpha", the pack doctor told Adrian who pinched the tip of his nose in frustration. "I thought the witches banned those when we made a treaty with them", he growled lowly and the pack doctor bowed before him.

Jayden and Rose were now beside us and everyone seemed to understand what a Valerian is except me. "What's a valerian?" I asked. I do t want to be in the clark on matters concerning the pack anymore. It was frustrating. "Baby, it's a type of plant that can easily knock werewolves out when inhaled. When the werewolf world and the witches had problems then, the valerian was used on werewolves by witches to protect themselves since they do not have sucer strength or speed to fight against werewolves", Adrian explained.

"So someone used a plant that has been banned on our warriors?" I asked out loud and the pack doctor nodded." That rogue definitely wasn't lying, they have a witch on their side".

"How can it be countered then?" I asked. "The hop plant", he said. "The hop plant? That's also a thing?" I rubbed my temples. Gosh, I feel so stressed out.

"Where do we get it?" Adrian was the one who spoke up. "The same way the valerian was gotten. Witches", the pack doctor said. "What will happen to the warriors if the hop can't be gotten?" I asked even though I knew the answer deep down inside me.

"They will pass away in their sleep", he said. "Serena. Contact Serena and get the warriors to the hospital. I'll try to see if I can help them with my powers till Serena gets here', I sprung into action and in a twinkle of an eye, cars

that would convey the warriors had arrived and they were taken to the hospital.

"Serena?" I asked Adrian before entering the car. "We'll meet her there, he said before we headed towards the hospital. We'll deal with Fay's disappearance later. I have to save my pack members first.

My pack members. It sounded so amazing. Not only did I find a pack that accepts me, I became their Luna. I have to protect them, if that's the last thing I do before leaving this world. I thought about seeing the Moon goddess but ever since she joined Jasmine and I, she hasn't called me back into the garden. On the other hand, I don't want to see her because it would mean leaving my mate for some days. It would mean leaving the pack at the hands of the enemy since he'd be vunerable.

My thoughts were interrupted when we got to the clinic and I saw Serena standing in front of it. "Serena", I greeted her when I reached where she was standing. "Luna", she bowed her head but I waved her off. 'What's going on? Why are you standing outside here? Do you not have the hop plant or are the warriors not responding to it?" I asked with urgency in my voice. The idea of losing that large number of people did not sit well with me.

"I tried already but they're not responding. I'm sorry but the magic used was black magic and I don't know how to undo the valerian effect. This seems to be stronger than the normal valerian", she said calmly.

I felt the anger in me build up till it escaped my body in the form of a loud, painful howl, Jasmine taking control of my body.

You've got to be kidding me.
