Luna Lola - The Moon Wolf - Chapter 14

Here is the rewritten content: Lola's POV His new maid? Their new maid? I think the Moon goddess is having too much fun with this. So many scenarios ran through my head as the Beta, Nathan, led me to the pack house after saying the Luna wanted to see me, but this definitely wasn't one of them. I should have allowed Lyla to come with me. She wanted to come because she doesn't trust Nathan with me, but I told her it wasn't necessary. I regret that decision now. My eyes found his, and I quickly looked away before he could see the tears in my eyes. I got demoted real quick, from a mate to a maid. The thought sounded funny to me, and I laughed out loud, drawing attention to myself. "I'm sorry, Luna," I apologized to the beautiful woman, who looked so young with her beautiful Bambi eyes and shoulder-length hair, before me. Her eyes crinkled in laughter, and I bowed my head again. "It's totally fine, Lola. We all have those moments with our thoughts and wolves," she said as she came towards me and patted my cheeks lovingly. "So, child, you'll be working as our live-in maid and help me around the house. Oh, I'm so happy to finally have a female to talk to. These guys are so annoying sometimes, and to think I have to take care of two overgrown babies myself, it gets lonely sometimes," she sighed dramatically and put her hands to her forehead exaggeratedly. I smiled at her antics. She seems friendly, and I felt warmth radiate from her. She gives off a motherly vibe. "Well, well, look who decided to show up. I thought you broke your promise, you sly wolf," I said with a smile in my voice, and she laughed in my head. "I missed you too, Lola. You're clingy as hell though, I've been resting, and it hasn't been 24 hours yet since I last spoke to you," she said still laughing, and I smiled at her through our mindlink. I heard someone clear their throat, and I looked up to find the Luna looking at me with a smile in her eyes. Does she know I'm her son's mate? Does she know he's going to reject us? At the thought of rejection, Jasmine whimpered in my head again, and I felt very sad for having to put her through all of this. "So do you know how to cook, sweetheart?" Luna asked me, and I shook my head negatively. "Not to worry, I'll teach you everything you need to know," she said to me, and I nodded my head shyly. "Thank you, Nate. You can leave now or you've got something to discuss with Adrian?" she asked, looking back at her mate, who hadn't moved a muscle. Adrian. I looked up at him to find him already staring at me, goosebumps erupting all over my body, and I felt the mate pull, which made me look away shyly. He doesn't want us. He didn't even acknowledge me; I'm sure he doesn't even find me attractive. "Come with me, darling. I'll show you to your room, then we'll come back and prepare lunch for us, considering our future Alpha didn't have lunch yet," she grabbed my hand and led me towards the stairs where my mate was standing, still staring. He stood still as we made our way up the stairs. Our shoulders brushed each other when I passed him, and I swear, it was like I was electrocuted, but in a good way. Luna led me down a long hallway and opened up a room that was much larger than Tracy's own I saw before at the pack house. My eyes widened to the size of a saucer at how big the room is; it had to be the largest room I've seen since forever. It was a plain room with no decorations at all. There were two doors inside the room. I knew one led to the bathroom, but I had no idea what the second door led to. It has a queen-sized bed, a love seat by the window, and opens into a balcony overlooking the forest. I wanted to run to the open space and breathe in the fresh air, but restrained myself. The Luna has been nothing but nice to me, and I didn't want to push my luck by misbehaving in her presence. "You like your new room? I know it's plain with no decorations at all, but you can decorate it to your taste; it's yours now," she smiled, and I looked back at her to find her already smiling at me. "Yes, Rose. Thank you very much," I bowed my head at her, and she pulled me closer, slightly frowning at me. "Please call me Rose. There's no need for formality between us; we'll be living together now; you might as well be comfortable," she told me, and I nodded my head quickly. "What do you say we go back downstairs and whip up something for our hungry wolves?" she asked. "Okay...Rose," I said meekly, and followed after her. As we passed the hallway, I caught wind of Adrian's scent and my eyes widened. The scent seemed to be coming from the third room from mine. Just great. I knew meeting him at some point was inevitable because I live in his home, but third room from mine? I can't avoid him every day. I sighed and followed after Luna Rose. Seeing how Adrian looked to be around 24, of course his mother will be over 40. She looked not a day over 25, her brown hair reached her shoulder and looked so silky I wanted to run my hands through it. I touched the split ends of my own hair that's coarse and still tangled somehow and sighed. I'll never be pretty enough for anybody. We reached the kitchen, and I could still smell him in the air. Jasmine sniffed too and sighed longingly in my head, and I rolled my eyes at her. Luna Rose moved towards the cooking area and started bringing out ingredients to make dinner, making me all excited and happy, even though I tried to keep it under reigns. We started cooking, and it was fun for me. Luna Rose is kind and patient, and takes her time to explain things I don't understand to me. She made me feel comfortable a bit even though I've only been around her for less than an hour. I'm really starting to like this new beginning. I might be rejected by my second-chance mate, but at least I'm not struggling from abuse and used as the pack's scapegoat anymore. I relaxed a bit around Luna Rose as we worked together to prepare food for her mate and Adrian. I felt eyes on me all the time I spent in the kitchen, but shook it off; I'd never be accepted anyways.
