Chapter 85
Lola’s POV
Lyla. Lotana and Avianca were the first people I saw as we got closer to the pack house. I’m definitely getting chewed up today, I thought. Rose must have sensed the direction my thinking went because she chuckled beside me.
“I told them to wait outside the pack house for us. And I definitely warned them against blowing up on your face”, she said. At the mention of ‘blowing up on your face’, my breathing became rapid and I I felt like I was being choked. Memories of that rogue blowing up came to the forefront of my mind and I gasped.
“Oh my gosh. I’m so sorry: Oh goddess. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have used those words”. she said apologetically and I wanted to tell her that I was fine but I couldn’t speak up. It felt like my lungs were being pressed on.
Panic attack? But I was fine up till that moment.
Lola. Lotana and Avianca must have seen the scene or Rose must have summoned them because they ran towards us and supported me.
“Let’s get her inside, she must be experiencing a panic attack” she ordered the girls and they looked at her in confusion. *Why is she suddenly having a panic attack?” Lotana asked as I was being taken into the pack house. “I might have said something regarding the incident that happened recently. Quick, let’s get her to a room”, she ordered and they all led me to our hangout space in the pack house, Lyla’s former room.
I could hear them perfectly fine but I found it difficult to speak. It took
a while before I could regain my speaking ability. They all looked worried and I felt so bad. All I seem to cause nowadays is worry for people around me.
“I’m sorry for causing worry for everyone”, I spoke lowly and their expressions changed. Their initial frowns were replaced with large smiles and excited sounds left their l*ps. I was pulled into a group hug and I laughed heartily.
How I’ve missed this with my friends.
“You are going to suffocate her if you don’t break up the hug”, Rose said. “Lyla, be careful, you’re pregnant”, she said sternly before we eventually pulled away from one another, the smiles on our faces were huge and bright nevertheless.
“I’d come back later to check on you once you’re well rested”, Rose spoke, looking at me directly and I nodded. She left the room after what she said. We waited for a while before we all burst into excited squeals again.
Lyla was the first to hit me. “Ouch, what was that for?” I asked while rubbing my shoulder. “Don’t you ever do that again. You scared us”, she said. I smiled at her and held her hands, “I’m sorry, ladies. It wasn’t my intention to make you worry at all”, I said as I looked at all of their faces. “I won’t allow that to happen anymore, okay?” I did a puppy face as I looked at them expectantly.
“Fineeeee, you better not do that again”, Avianca was the first to break. “Lyla almost lost my go d daughter from worrying too much”, Lotana added. Avianca turned to face her with her hands on her hips, “uhm, excuse you miss. This right here”, she pointed to Lyla’s belly. “is my g od daughter”.
They kept arguing back and forth. Lyla sat down beside me and we kept looking at them. “At leaat, you’re a bit sane, these two almost
drove me insane with their constant talks and banters”, she said at the same time they stopped bantering and looked at her with a glare. Oops.
“You guys did not miss me? You’ve been fighting non-stop since I got here. Fill me in, did anything happened when I was gone?” I asked. These girls made me love tea so much and I wasn’t even talking about
real tea.
“Girlllllll. Fay has been
the new Luna”. Aviancang around telling people she’s going to be
piped up. “Like, I was shocked by the nerves of her. She’s no longer limping and now she acts like a queen. She doesn’t do that when Adrian is around though”, Lotana added.
“It’s like she knows something that everyone doesn’t know. I bet she’s going to go crazy when she knows you’re having a mating ceremony”, Lyla clapped excitedly and the girls joined in.
“I swear, I’m going to have that bi tch’s head on a pole and hang in the center of the pack. She’s getting on my nerves”, Jasmine growled in my head but that wasn’t what I was focused on.
A traitor is amongst you. A traitor is amongst you. The rogue’s word kept ringing in my head. I contemplated telling Adrian but I felt like I was just overreacting.
Sure, she might be an obsessed psychopath but she can’t be crazy enough to sell out the pack she wants to rule over. Right? I sighed and rubbed my hand over my face in frustration.
“By the way, I love the clothes combination. Looks like Lyla awakened the fashionista in you. Girl, you look so hot. How did Adrian let you out of the house?” Avianca, always energized spoke rapidly and Lotana nodded.
“I particularly like her top, did you get this when we went to………. Oh goddess, you got marked?” Lyla shouted. That was when it dawned on
me that I did not tell them about the mark.
“I knew her scent changed but I did not even think about her getting marked at all. Ouuuuu, who knew our innocent baby girl had it in her?” Lotana added and my face became red.
“No, it’s definitely not like that. We haven’t completed the mating process”, I covered my face after speaking and they all laughed. “Yeah, yeah, it’s just a matter of time before it gets done”, Avianca patted my back and I glared at her making everyone laugh.
“Guys, I know Rose said you should rest well but I can bet on Nathan’s left ear that she’s going to barge in here anytime and pull us out to prepare”, Lyla said as she stood up. “Now, let’s get our butt out there before Rose comes to look for us”, she pointed towards the door and we all grudgingly left.
We passed Fay on our way out. She was with her minions and tried to look intimidating but I did not spare her another glance.
The possibility of her being the traitor weighed heavily on my mind but I decided that I was going to trust Adrian and allow him take charge of fishing them out.
With that in mind, I went about my day with my girls.
