Lola’s POV
“Welcome back, child”, the angelic voice from before drifted towards me and I felt a wave of calmness wash over me.
“Selene”, I greeted her. I felt her moving towards me. It wasn’t obvious that she wasn’t moving but she seemed to draw closer to me.
“Why am I here again? Why did Lyla look so scared and every other person seemed to have seen a ghost? In fact, how did I get here? I saw no Serena nor herbs in the hospital. What’s going on?” I asked her. I was really getting confused and frustrated.
“Your wolf has been connected to mine since the last time you came to this garden. You’re here because Jasmine called out to me”, she said, her voice soothing to the ears. Jasmine called out to her?
“Why did she call out to you?” I asked her curiously. We were at the hospital, how could she have called out to her. I suddenly remembered the memory that came to me while I was in the hospital.
“Was it because of the memory I saw back at the hospital?” I asked and she said “yes”. “Was that memory real? Did I really have a brother? What happened 8 years ago?” I asked rapidly and she sighed.
“I can’t answer all these questions, Lola “, she said and I wanted to scream. “You can answer all these questions, Selene! You’re the moon goddess, you know everything and nothing goes by without your prior knowledge or permission! Just tell me everything, I’m tired of being in the dark “‘, I screamed out but it all came out in a silent and calm manner.
I can’t even scream out my grievances? Oh, come on!
“I understand how you feel, Lola, but I don’t know everything. There are some things that are beyond me and it’s called fate and destiny. You’ll find out everything soon enough”, she said gently and I just wanted to scream.
“Then what happened to Mom and Dad? Are they with you? Can I see them and my brother too? Can I at least talk to them? I miss them”, I whispered the last part and a year fell from my eyes.
I really do miss them. Nothing has gone right for me since I lost them. Maybe they can tell me all that happened if I can talk to them.
“They can’t answer your questions even if you see them, Lola”, Selene said as if she had read my mind. “But why?” I needed answers and I needed them fast.
“You’ll find out soon”, she said. I was about to argue back when I felt myself falling freely like the first time. I felt myself enter my body back at the hospital and opened my eyes with a gasp.
At the sound of the gasp, feet pattered towards me and I was bombarded by questions. I felt overwhelmed by the sudden change in atmosphere and could barely make out who was who and what they were saying.
“She just woke up. You can’t keep asking her questions like that”, a familiar voice rang out with authority and everybody went silent. I was grateful for the silence and used that moment to get myself together.
When I could finally take in my surroundings, I saw Jayden, Rose and Lyla with their tear stricken faces, also Avianca and Lotana who looked so sad and guilty.
“The doctor will be here soon”, Jayden said to me and I nodded my head. No sooner had he finished speaking when a balding man in white coat came in with two nurses in tow.
“Alpha, Luna”, he bowed to Jayden and Rose when he entered. “Can everyone leave the room now? We’d like to run some tests on her”, the doctor said and that was when I looked down and saw that I had changed out of my clothes and was now in a hospital gown.
Shit! The person that changed me would have seen all of my scars.
“I’m Doctor Cole. How do you feel, Lola?” He asked with a warm smile and I slowly felt at ease. “I’m fine, doctor”, I replied in a small voice.
