Luna Lola - The Moon Wolf - Chapter 43

Here is the rewritten content in the same format structure: Adrian's POV She was gone from my presence before I could send Fay away. I tried searching for her when another figure showed up in front of me. I closed my eyes and sent a silent prayer to the Moon goddess to give me the strength to not break someone's neck today. I opened my eyes only to see Nathan in front of me grinning wildly. Must be nice to have someone you've always wanted as a mate as your mate. He noticed that I wasn't mirroring his excitement and his smile disappeared, replaced by a frown. "Who pissed in your cereal? You look like you're about to go on a killing spree," he observed, and I took a deep sigh. He wasn't the reason I lost sight of Lola, I did not need to take out my frustrations on him. "I was just disturbed by something, I'm fine. Where's your precious mate and why are you not with her?" I asked him. If I saw Lyla, I'd see Lola too. She's her only friend, and they tend to be together. "Oh, she's with some group of friends. And I can't hover around her every time, she doesn't like it," he grinned, and I shook my head at him. He's far gone in love, and nothing can pull him out of it. I want to feel that with Lola too, but I fucked things up royally. "And besides, she's making Lola make new friends and see new people," he added, and I think I got a whiplash from looking at him so fast. "Are there guys in the group of people she's meeting with?" I asked, trying to keep the jealousy out of my voice and keep Daxon at bay. He nodded his head, and a low growl escaped my lips. Nathan started laughing, the motherfucker actually laughed. I looked at him quizzically, but he kept on laughing. "Dude, you should have seen your face when I mentioned another guy. If you care about her so much, why don't you make the first move on her and accept her as your mate instead of making the two of you suffer unnecessarily?" He asked. I wanted to tell him how I fucked up, but I knew how bad Nathan frowned upon that particular act, and I felt ashamed to speak to him about it. I just shrugged my shoulders and kept looking around for Lola. I eventually spotted her at the far end of the garden, talking to a group of four people with Lyla beside her. She seemed fine and happy, and she would sometimes laugh with them. I wanted her to be that relaxed with me too, but she seems to freeze anytime I get close to her. "You made us lose that opportunity, dude. You don't have the right to complain about not being close to her," Daxon said in my head. He was right. I did make us lose that opportunity, so I better suck it up. Lyla soon left the group she was with to go to the prepared stage for her coming of age ceremony. Nathan moved to stand beside the stage, and I followed after him. He was the future Beta, and her mate, after all, and I also had to stand there as the future Alpha. As the ceremony went on, I could only focus on Lola. She looked breathtaking, and no one held a candle to her. Her hair seemed to shine brighter than it normally would. She soon excused herself and went to get something to drink. I saw Fay going towards her, and I could see her saying something to her. A low growl left my lips, and Nathan looked over to me. "What the fuck has got your panties in a twist now? Can you please concentrate on the matter at hand?" He whispered harshly to me, and I snarled at him, making him flinch. How could he tell me to relax when the devil herself was going towards my mate? Not a lot of people know Fay's true character because she acts all sweet and charming. Deep down, she's a power-hungry bitch and would do anything to get her way. "I'd be damned if I let that bitch hurt my mate. If it means tearing through your skin and taking control, I'd do it," Daxon growled angrily in my head. He was right. I couldn't let anything else happen to Lola. She had already been through a lot, if her scars and behavior around people were anything to judge by. Ignoring the look people gave me and Nathan's warning, I stormed over to where Fay was talking to a confused Lola. Fay left where Lola was standing when she saw me coming. Of course, the bitch knows what she's doing. Lola looked more confused after Fay left. I got to where she was, and she didn't even notice I was standing in front of her till I called out to her. "Lola?" I said gently. She shook her head and focused her eyes on me, widening her eyes when she realized who I was. "I was just getting water to drink, I wasn't doing anything I promised," she rushed out, and seemed scared of me. My heart broke to see that she thought I might hurt her. I had not been a good mate, I know, but I wasn't going to inflict physical pain on her. I decided to ignore that and ask about Fay. "What did Fay say to you?" I asked her. "Fay?" She asked in a small, confused voice. Of course, she doesn't know her name. What was I thinking? "What did she say to you?" I asked again. "Oh, it was nothing. She just gave me advice, that's all," she said, looking anywhere but my side. I didn't need to listen to her heartbeat to know that she was lying. "I asked you a question, and I demand an honest answer, Lola," I said with more authority. I did not want to scare her, but I needed to know what Fay said to her. "S-she told me t-to le-leave you al-1-lone," she stammered out, and I felt rage take over my body. Without saying another word, I stormed off and went in the direction I saw Fay went. Who does she think she is to say such to my mate after I had warned her?
