Chapter 83
Lola’s POV
He looked at me for what seemed like eternity before he sighed and looked away. “Lola. I thought you were not going to involve yourself in things like this anymore?” He asked as he rubbed his hand over his face and I pouted.
“I said I was going to stay away from the dangerous parts, I did not say I wouldn’t ask for information and updates”. I crossed my hands over my chest.
“I haven’t been able to give it much thought. I’ve been occupied by you and your condition. I’ve been totally useless for the past three days”, he said..
“We can do it now then. Let’s go meet with Jayden and talk to him”, I stood up and took his hand in mine. “I should contact Nathan and tell him to be here with his father as soon as possible*, he said but I stopped him.
“No”, he looked at me quizzically. “No, you can’t call them here”, I rushed out. “But they’re the Beta and next in line for the Betal position”, he tried to explain to me but I wasn’t backing down.
“And the rogue clearly said the traitor is someone amongst us. That means we can’t trust anyone, no one at all, Adrian. You should know that”, I argued with my hands crossed over my chest and he sighed. “You’re right”, he said before his eyes glazed over indicating he was mindlinking someone.
Arghhhh! The nerves of this Alpha.
“Dad is in the study”. he said after his eyes became focused again. Oh! “Oh, okay. We should go and see him then”. I actually thought he was mindlinking Nathan after I told him not to.
“No, I wasn’t. Have some faith in me, baby”, his voice rang in my head. and I became slightly red from embarrassment. Who was I kidding? I was totally red from being caught.
We left the kitchen and went towards Jayden’s study. Adrian did not knock before he entered and I just followed behind him. Jayden gave me a smile with a little head nod when I entered the room which I returned with a bow. It’s the second time I’ll be entering the study and it still amazes me.
“It’s nice to see you’re back with us, Lola”, Jayden said when we finally sat down. “This one right here almost went on a rampage”. he pointed at Adrian whose car tips became red. “I’m so sorry for causing trouble and worries every now and then”, I gently apologized and he waved me off
“You said you were going to discuss something important”, he faced Adrian who nodded before speaking. “Yeah. I totally forgot about it until Nathan reminded me today”, he started. “The rogue we caught said we have a traitor amongst us”. Jayden growled at the word ‘traitor’.
“Who would dare to give out important pack information to a common rogue?” He asked no one in particular. “Dad, I’m sure we’ll find a way around this. Let’s hold a mating ceremony for Lola and I”, Adrian said and I looked at him in shock.
“We definitely did not discuss that. Where is the mating ceremony coming from? What is a mating ceremony to start with?”. I asked him. through our mindlink. “Can you trust me baby? We’ll definitely find the traitor, I just need you to trust me”, he replied and I went silent.
My mind wandered to what a mating ceremony might be. He already
marked me, what is a mating ceremony then? No, it can’t be.

“A mating ceremony is not what you told me, right?” I asked, referring to the part where I mark him too and he chuckled in my head. “No, of course not, baby. I only want to keep your beautiful moans of pleasure for my cars alone”, I looked at his face and he smirked briefly at me before turning back to Jayden like he did not just say something naughty.
“It’s decided. We’re going to hold it in two week’s time. I’m sure everyone would like to meet their new Luna also”, Jayden said, giving me a small smile and I smiled back even though I was freaking out on the inside.
Everyone would like to meet their new Luna? What did I miss? How did we go from looking for the traitor to me suddenly being in the spotlight?
“You’re overthinking this. I’m getting dizzy from listening to your thoughts”. Adrian said and I glared at him. “That serves you right. You should stop listening to my thoughts then”. I nearly poked my tongue. out at him but I remembered we were seated in front of Jayden and put myself in check.
“It will go well. baby. The people are going to love you and be happy to have you as their Luna”, Adrian assured me through our mindlink and I hummed in agreement.
“We’ll take our leave if that will be all. I’m sure Mom will have a field day with this news”, Adrian stood up as he finished talking and I stood up too. “Lola better be prepared for what’s about to come”, Jayden joked and I gulped.
Deep down, I knew they were right. Rose was going to make a big deal. out of this. We had barely reached the living room when she came
downstairs, really excited.

I looked at Adrian with wide eyes but that traitor shook his head before backing away slowly. “You’re leaving me with her? Oh, come on!” I said but he kept backing away. “Sorry, you’re alone in this “, he turned. away and went upstairs, not looking behind once. “You’re going to pay for this!!!” I called out after him but he did not respond.
“Lolaaaaa”, she squealed excitedly and I put on a smile. I wouldn’t like to offend her and it definitely looks like a big deal to her. “Jayden just told me your mating ceremony is in 2 weeks”, I nodded at her words, making her squeal like a teenager.
“Finally! Ouuuu, we’re going to have so much fun planning this”, she said. “First, we’re going to………”, the rest of the day passed by in a blur.
An appointment was set up at Serena’s spa, she made me choose from a series of hair designs, clothes were not left behind either. It was crazy and if I thought Lyla was crazy when it comes to picking clothes and fashion, Rose was definitely crazier.
When I finally escaped from Rose after dinner, I was ready to pass out. Who knew sitting down, just listening to someone talk your ear off and make decisions could be so tiring? Well, it definitely is.
I gave Adrian the cold shoulder and just went to sleep straight. I was tired and slightly annoyed he left me alone so I ignored him and slept. I’ll deal with it in the morning.
