Chapter 93
Lola’s POV
“They’re all going to die? All of them? You’re a motherf ucking witch, this should be speciality and you’re telling that I’m going to lose that amount of pack members because you’re not competent enough?” Jasmine snarled in her face but Serena remained unmoving.
“Jasmine, you have to calm down. I’m sure we can find a way around this”, I tried to reason with her but she was blinded with rage and frustration, well mainly with frustration. I was frustrated too but not to the extent of taking out on Serena, she was just trying to help.
“Well, she’s supposed to be the one to know what to do and she already said she can’t. What are we supposed to be able do?” She asked and I sighed. “Just let me be in control and take care of the situation”, I pleaded with her before she reluctantly allowed me to be back in control.
“I’m so sorry for that”, I apologized to her and she bowed lightly. “I understand where she’s coming from, Luna”, she said softly. All of these interactions was being watched by Adrian, Jayden and Rose but they were mute and did not input anything, it was like they were. putting the whole situation in my hands.
“What do we do? I can’t keep losing pack members because of this motherf ucker. Who will I rule over if he kills off my whole pack?” I asked her, no, I pleaded with her. “There’s a solution but I don’t think you’d be able to do 15
she
“If it involves taking care of my pack members, I’d do it a blink of an eye”, I assured her., Adrian put a hand on my shoulder and looked Serena in the face. “What exactly will she be doing? I’m not putting her
in harm’s way”, he said amd I rolled my eyes. Like he’d be able to stop
me.
The urge to protect my wolves was the most important thing on my mind at that point. “What am I doing, Serena?” I asked, completely disregarding what Adrian said. “Baby, you’re not going to be doing it if it’s too dangerous”, he
Said in my head and i scoffed. “Watch me do it. They are in that condition because they were protecting OUR pack, YOUR pack, and I should just watch them die? You’ve got to be joking with me”, I told him before putting up the wall to block him out.
I made the mistake of putting down the wall to the pack mindlink and almost got dizzy from the different thoughts going through their heads. Most were grieving for their sons and mates that were part of the warriors, making the rage in me to intensify.
“The valerian is strong but it can be removed with the power of the moon wolf”, she said while looking at me. “That means I have to heal them one after the other right? Let’s get to it then, the earlier we start, the better”, I said before making a move to enter the clinic.
“It doesn’t work like that, Luna. I mean that could also work but we’re running out of time. Their breathing pattern is getting worse and they might stop at any time”, she said. Just then, the pack doctor came out looking worried. “They’re getting worse, Alpha. We might lose all of them soon”, he said.
“What do I do, Serena?” I asked calmly even though I was freaking out on the inside. I hoped it was something I could fix because I just got crowned and I didn’t want the people to be against me. It would affect Jasmine so bad because she was connected to the pack more and she wouldn’t be able to withstand another pack betrayal.
“You have to harness the purity inside you and infuse it with the hop plant. Once they inhale it, they will be free”, she said and I got more confused. Purity? “Purity? How do I harness it? How do I do that? I’m
so confused right now, I have no idea what to do, Serena, you have to guide me through this”, I begged frantically. I didn’t care that a crowd. was starting to gather, all I wanted was the pack members to be saved.
“I’m afraid I can’t help you with that, Luna. It’s your power, you have to find it”, she said and walked back into the clinic. “Time is ticking, Lola, time is ticking”, she said before disappearing into the clinic finally.
I stag gered and almost fell but Adrian held me. I turned in his arm to face him and saw sadness in his eyes. “What do I do, Adrian?” I asked him in a shaky voice, I was so close to tears and I felt so useless. “We’re going to figure it out. Just calm down, baby”, he assured me even though he sounded unconvinced too.
I swallowed the tears that were threatening to fall and went into the clinic, Adrian, Jayden and Rose followed behind me. I sighted Serena trying to cast spells but nothing seemed to be working.
I turned to Adrian. “Stay close to me at all times, it seems my powers become stronger whenever you’re near me”, I told him and he nodded. “Of course, baby. I’ll stand by you”, he responded.
“Pass me the plant, Serena”, I told Serena who handed me the plant. “Once you’ve harnessed your power, I’ll instruct you on how to infuse it with the plant”, she said and I nodded.
I took a deep sigh and closed my eyes. Purity. Purity. I kept chanting in my head before it felt like I was being pulled through a passage. It was like I was floating around in nothingness after the pulling stopped. I looked around and saw total darkness but amidst the darkness, I saw a white light and floated towards it.
Immediately I came in contact with the light, I felt like I was being filled with some kind of peace and strange energy. From a distance, I heard Serena’s voice. “That’s it. You found it”, she said and I kept.
holding on to the white light.
I felt something being put in my hands and assumed it was the hop plant. I slowly opened my eyes and the plant seemed to be glowing from within. Serena slowly collected it from my hands and recited some kind of spell before the hop plant slowly diffused into the air.
I turned to look at Adrian who gave me a proud smile. I wanted to smile back at him but darkness swallowed me instead.
