Chapter 21
Lola’s POV
I felt so hollow and empty. I thought I couldn’t be affected by whatever he says or does anymore, but was I wrong. I could not properly hear what was going on around me. All I heard was echoes and distant sounds.
“Lola, Lola, can you hear me?” I heard someone calling out to me distantly and tried to reply but I could not. It felt like my lungs were being crushed and I could not even cry out for help.
I suddenly took in a large gulp of air and came back to the present. Jace was kneeling beside me with a worried look on his face. I did not remember how I reached the floor nor how long I’d been out of it for, but the look on his face made me realze that it was bad.
“Lola, can you hear me now? Do you recognise me?” He asked worriedly and I laughed. I really laughed in that situation.
“Why do you look so worried, Jacey. I’m fine“, I smiled at him and he ran his hands through his hair in frustration.
“You’re fine? Lola, you were numb and unmoving for over 5 minutes. I called you severally, you did not give me any response. You just sat still and unmoving. If I had not seen the rapid rise and fall of your chest, I’d have thought you were dead. Yet, you claim to be fine?” He was practically screaming at this point.

Ignoring the fact that he looked like he was about to explode, “I’ll like to be left alone“, I said to him. He looked at me like I was crazy and hesitated. “Please“, I pleaded to him and he nodded before he left me.
I picked myself off the floor and made my way back to Lyla’s room. I was not crying nor feeling anything, I just stared blankly at the door until she came in.
“Are you okay, Lola? What happened with Adrian? How did you know Jace? He was the one that came to get me“, she fired rapidly once she saw me sitting on the bed, staring blankly at her.
As if on que, the waterworks started when she asked me questions. I suddenly felt like my heart was being ripped apart. I cried out in pain while clutching at my chest, trying to relieve the pain I felt inside of me.
Lyla rushed towards me and held me in her arms while I cried out my eyes. She did not offer any words of comfort or tried to make me stop crying, which I was grateful for.
Jasmine wept silently in my head and I could not even comfort her. Adrian did not know what I went through at my former pack, he did not even know anything about me and he had the guts to say such words to me. Why does the moon goddess think it’s a good idea to pair me people that don’t think highly of me?
For about an hour, I cried and Lyla held me through all of it. I was grateful to at least have someone that could be there for me. I calmed down and she let me go I wriggled my b*dy.
“Are you done crying over that dumbass that doesn’t know what he’s missing out on“, she asked once she let me go and I

gasped.
“He’s your Alpha, you can’t speak about him like that“, i exclaimed and she rolled her eyes. “I can and I will. A man that thinks he can treat his mate like this can’t have my respect“, she said and I giggled a look little.
“I swear, you’re so crazy and fearless“. She fl*pped her hair over her shoulder with pride, “yeah, I know I am. He messed with the wrong person. Nob*dy fucks with my friend and gets away with it“, she fl*pped her hair dramatically again and we both laughed.
“Now, now. We need to forget all these boys dramas and problems and have a girl’s day out“, she said excitedly.
“I’m not sure about that, Lyla. I don’t think I want to be around pack members after what happened in the pack house today. The story would have spread all over the pack“, I said sadly.
“That’s why we’re leaving the pack lands, durhhhh. I doubt you’ve ever been to the human town. They have such big malls and very very amazing structures and restaurants. It’s so different from our pack. You’re going to love it“, she said excitedly. I was about to say something when she interrupted
- me.
“I know what you’re going to say and I’ve got it all solved while you were crying. The Luna has given us her permission to leave the pack lands and go have fun. We’re going to need a car though, we need to reach the Luna’s house to get one“. At the mention of going back to Adrian’s house, my eyes. widened and Lyla rolled her eyes at me again.
I wonder how her eyes hasn’t stuck to her skull with the amount of times she rolls them in a day.
“Before you freak out, he’s not at the house. We’ll just see the Luna real quick, get you a change of clothes and then leave“. With that she jumped off the bed and dragged me up with her. We ran through the pack house and everyb*dy looked at us like we were crazy.
I was out of breath by the time we reached Adrian’s house but Lyla looked like she did not just run at all.
Man, I’m so weak. No wonder no man wants me. I said to myself.
Rose engulfed me in a hug immediately she set her eyes on me. “I’m so sorry, Lola. I promised I raised him right, I don’t know how he turned out like this“, she said sniffling and I hugged her back tightly.
“You’re not responsible for his actions, Rose. You’re not responsible for his actions“, I replied while hugging her back.
“You guys should break it up. She needs to be ready before our ride gets here or our plan is going to go up in flames“, Lyla said, prying us apart.
I swear that girl has too much energy in her tiny b*dy.
She pushed me towards the stairs. I went to my room and met my bed ruffled like someone slept on them. Adrian’s scent also lingered in the air but I ignored it.
I went to wash my face and freshen up. I wore the clothes I had on again and went downstairs. I saw Nathan, Lyla and Rose having a heated conversation which stopped
immediately they sensed me.

When Rose saw me, she gave a signal to Lyla and then led Nathan away from the living room.
“Nathan, darling, I need you to help me with something upstairs. Come with me“, Nathan followed her and that was when I saw Lyla held up a car key.
She grabbed my hands and led me out of the house hurriedly. A sleek car was parked in front of the house and she rushed me into the vehicle. Without wasting time, the vehicle came alive and Lyla sped off with an evil laughter.
“Why are we running away“, I asked her when she continued speeding even when we already left the house behind. A thought suddenly occured to me and I gasped.
“You did not just steal Nathan’s car, did you?” She laughed in response and I wanted to scream at her. “Yo, calm down. I did not steal it, I took it with Rose’s permission“, she said and I calmed down a bit.
“Do you know what I also took with her permission?” I shook my head in negative to her answer.
“Adrian’s black card“, she waved it in my front and I felt my eyes widen in panic and my breathing quickened.
“Turn around this instant, Lyla. We’re definitely going to get punished. How can you be so crazy?” I asked in fear and agitation. “Adrian doesn’t like me one bit, he’d be so mad if he found out that any of his money was spent on me“, I rambled on and she just let me panic while she continued driving.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
When I was done panicking, she spoke up. “We have the Luna’s permission and getting his money spent lavishly is what he gets for messing with you. He won’t know you spent

any money, he’s loaded“, she said and I calmed down a bit.
“With that being said, sit back and enjoy the ride. We’re going to have one hell of a day, baby“, she screamed into the
deserted road and we both laughed.
And let me tell you that she wasn’t lying when she said we were going to have one hell of a day.
