Chapter 40
Lola’s POV
I was dumbfounded as the pack medics carried Greg away. I looked towards Adrian with fear in my eyes. Would he go berserk on me too if he doesn’t like what I did? Will he go around beating people and making a bad name for me when he did not even choose me?
Even for a fact that Greg is a werewolf, he could not easily recover from his injury and the pack medics had to be called in to take care of him. That was how bad Adrian hit him.
Avianca, Lotana and Alex all looked at me differently and I couldn’t help the sigh that escaped from my mouth. Lyla was the only one who stood by me as the medics left.
“Lola, I…….” He wanted to speak up when Lyla shut him up. “This is not the time to apologize, Adrian. You shouldn’t have done it if you’d have apologized for it. Since she came into this pack, you’ve caused her nothing but pain and anguish. If you can’t f**king make her happy, at least stay the fuck away from her“, she screamed in his face before holding my hands. and pulling me out of there.
I was thinking he’d have her head for speaking harshly to him but he barely reacted. Nathan stood by him but he looked like. he’d rather go after his own mate. People around gave us different looks and I’m sure people who did not know I was his mate now did.
Lyla did not let go of my hand till we reached the car. She
entered the car and she took a deep breath before turning towards me.
“Are you okay, Lola?” She asked and I did not know how to answer her question. Was I okay? I nodded my head and she looked like she did not believe me.
“You can tell me how you feel, Lola. It’s okay not to be okay, don’t you know?” She said gently and that was when my tears. broke and I started crying.
I wasn’t okay. I wasn’t fine at all. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs and kick him till he’s down in pain too but I couldn’t. I wanted to be loved by my mate and meet new people that won’t regard me as a freak but my chances are ruined now. Instead I opted for a simple “I’m not okay“.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay. It’s fine, baby girl. We should go and check on Greg first, yeah?” I nodded my head at her words. and tried to stop my tears from flowing readily.
By the time we got to the pack clinic, my heart was threatening to burst out of my chest from being so nervous. What if they do not want to meet me? What if they cast me aside and decide that I’m not worthy of being in their presence? My thoughts were racing miles per hour and I had to hold my hands tightly because they were shaking.
“I swear I can feel the gears turning in your head. Don’t overthink what might happen or be. I’m sure Greg doesn’t hold anything against you. And the rest of the group will eventually come to, it’s just time“, she said reassuringly before we stepped out of the car into the clinic.
We asked about Greg once we entered the clinic and because it was a pack where almost everyb*dy knew everyb*dy, we
were easily directed to where he was.
As we got closer, we saw Avianca, Alex and Lotana coming. out of the room he was in. Lotana’s eyes hardened.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
immediately she saw me and was about to charge at me when Alexander held her back.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing by showing your face here after what you did?” She shouted and I took a step back from her. “I–I’m s–s–sorry“, I stuttered out and she gave out a fake laugh.
“Sorry? Of course, you’re sorry. You’re not the one lying on the hospital bed because your mate decided to go ballistic on my brother!!!” She shouted again.
Brother? Greg is her brother? They look nothing alike. The image of Lotana being held by Avianca and Alex sparked a memory in my head.
It was a memory of a younger me crying out for my parents and brother? I never remembered having a brother all my life. The memory was so vivid, it felt like I was witnessing it at that
moment.
Lotana was still shouting at me but I couldn’t hear what she was saying. Lyla was beside me but I couldn’t hear what she was saying either. I was in that memory and I could feel myself shaking uncontrollably with tears rolling down my face.
My younger self looked so sad and beautiful and my heart couldn’t help but break for her. Everything suddenly went quiet and all I could hear was a buzzing sound in my head. Lyla’s mouth was moving but I could not make out what she was saying.
What’s going on? What’s wrong with my b*dy? Why can’t I move nor talk? I could see Lotana, Avianca and Alex run towards me too. There was panic in Lyla’s eyes and I wanted to know what made her look so afraid but I wasn’t able to.
It was like I was trapped in my own mind. I felt myself being lifted and carried to one of the hospital beds and I wanted to scream at them that I was okay but nothing was forthcoming.
I was suddenly not in the hospital room anymore. A blinding white light shone onto my face, so I closed my eyes. When I opened them, I was back in the garden where I met the moon goddess.
My scars were no longer visible and I was in a white gown like before. I was about to shout into the garden when a bright light came on in front of me. I could see the shape of a woman in a white flowing gown but I wasn’t able to see her face due to the light that shone from it.
“Welcome back again, child“.
