Chapter 121
Lola’s POV
Their mouths were practically hanging open when I finished narrating what happened with Lotana. I was waiting for them to speak but they didn’t say anything for a long time. Avianca had a lost and hurt look in her eyes while Lyla just looked like she wanted to go on a murdering spree.
“I’m still finding it hard to believe that Lotana would do that kind of thing because of a rogue“, Avianca said in a hurt voice. “She didn’t tell me, I did not notice anything out of the ordinary“, she lamented, “how did I get fooled by her?“, she said shakily but took deep breaths to stop herself from crying.
All these while, Lyla was just fuming where she was seated. She looked so red and I could almost see smoke coming out from her cars. “How did you escape such vile people?” was her response when she finally spoke. “I think we might want to invite Adrian for that“, I said and they looked at me weirdly./
“Where are you?” I asked Adrian through our mindlink. “I’m on my way already“, he replied. I should have known that he was listening to the whole conversation, what was I thinking?.
“After all these meetings and talks, I’d like to be holed up in a room with my mate without any interference or disturbance“, Jasmine said in my head. “Me too, Jas./Me too“, I replied to her. “Glad that I’m not the only one that feels that way“, Adrian said in my head and I mentally facepalmed. I forget to put up my block every motherf**king time.
He came in just as I finished up the thoughts in my head. Lyla and Avianca looked at each other but they didn’t say anything and I became
slightly red.
“I can move around now, right?” I asked when it was getting a bit awkward in the room. “I feel perfectly fine“, I said. “Yeah, you can move around now. I only used that to get Mom off your back“, Adrian said, the look in his eyes intense and I could feel myself getting heated
- up.
Jeez, this is not the time for this! I screamed internally. “Exactly, we’ll have enough time later“, his voice rang in my head again. I subtly looked at him but he didn’t seem affected one bit, yet, he was making me lose focus with his words.
“Adrian is here now, you can talk about how you escaped“, Lyla
prompted me. Avianca glared at her and she looked away sheepishly. “What if she doesn’t want to relive the trauma?” Avianca chastised her and she started sniffling.
Her pregnancy hormones are definitely all over the place, I said to myself.
I looked at both of their faces before looking towards Adrian. His eyes searched mine and I saw a lot of questions in them before I heard his voice in my head.
“You don’t have to force yourself to talk now, baby. You can take your time and talk to us whenever you’re ready“, he said in my head and I sent him a grateful smile. His soft words and that simple gesture of not forcing me to talk warmed my heart and I was reminded of how Fay must have felt being mistreated by her mate.
“It’s fine, babe. I’ll need to say it at some point, I might as well get it over and done with now“, I said to him. Lyla readjusted on her seat and even Avianca looked so eager to hear what I had to say even though she chastised Lyla earlier.

Adrian came to sit beside me on the bed and held my hand in his to silently show his support. It’s okay, it’s fine. You’re back in Crescent moon now, you don’t have to be scared. You’ve got this. I gave myself a mental pep talk before opening my mouth to speak.
“Fay saved me“, I said and they all looked at me like I had grown another head. Even Adrian looked at me like I had lost it and I sighed internally.
Yeah guys, I didn’t believe it at first either, I thought to myself.
“Fay, as in the Fay that was in this pack?” Lyla asked from where she sat and I nodded. “The same one that tried to take your position? The same one that tried to take your mate? The same one that almost killed Adrian while trying to harm you?” Avianca asked rapidly, her voice rising with every question and I nodded.
“Yes guys, that Fay. She sacrificed herself to allow me escape that hellhole“, I said, my voice breaking slightly when I remembered how I had cowardly ran away instead of making sure we both left there alive.
“You know that’s not true, Lola“, Jasmine said in my head. “It wasn’t a cowardly move. We wouldn’t have been able to survive together. She knew that and she still went ahead to lay down her life for us“, she said but it did not make me feel any better.
“What exactly happened, baby? Adrian said from beside me and I took a deep breath before I started speaking.
“Damon is Fay’s mate“, I said and they all looked at me confused. “Who’s Damon?” Lyla asked. “The rogue king“, I replied and Lyla shrugged. “They deserve each other“, Avianca piped up but I shook head in disagreement.

“No woman deserves that kind of bastard“, I seethed as I remembered how they paraded girls in exchange for money. How he’s willing to go
to any length just to have a taste of powers that will not last him forever.
“Serena! I need Serena here. There’s something I must ask her, there’s something I need to confirm“, I turned to Adrian and he must have seen the urgency in my eyes because he picked his phone and dialed her number immediately.
“Hello, Alpha. I was wondering when the Luna would summon me“, she said immediately she picked up. “I’d be there in a minute“, she hung up after that and a knock was heard outside the door a moment later.
Serena entered and bowed before us. I detached myself from Adrian and stood up to meet her. Even though the aura of the person before me was different, I still had doubts that she was fooling me.
“Welcome back, Luna“, she bowed slightly before me. “Something tells me that you have important news for me, may I know what it is?” She asked.
“Alysia“, I said and her eyes widened in shock before she moved away from me slightly. “What about Aly Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“No, no, no“, she kept chanting while I looked at her in amazement. I’ve never seen Serena lose her cool before so it was new territory for me and everyone else that was in the room.
“She can’t be alive“, she said while shaking her head, “I killed her myself“. The whole room went silent after her declaration.
