Lola’s POV
What was I expecting? I sighed and looked around to see a few people still looking at me. Some were looking at me with pity, some with curiosity and I got a few hate glares too.
I shook it off and walked towards Avianca and the rest of the group. They were looking at me with curiosity too, I just pasted a smile on my face and tried not to trip over my legs as I walked towards them.
“What was that, girl?” Alex was the first one to ask when I reached where they were standing. “What was what?” | feigned curiosity but they were not buying it.
“That that just happened, durhhhhhh. Why was the future Alpha talking to you? He rarely talks to anyone in the pack“, Avianca added and I tried to come up with lies but couldn’t find any.
I was about to talk when Greg spoke up. “Nathan is Lyla’s mate?” He said and everyb*dy’s head whipped to the stage so fast I almost laughed. It’s funny how people lose interest fast.
Loud claps and cheers erupted in the crowd as Nathan and Lyla k*ssed passionately. I felt jealous for a moment but I quickly got over it. Lyla has been nothing but nice to me since I got here, I shouldn’t be jealous she has someone that loves her because I got rejected twice.
I felt eyes on me and looked up to see Greg looking at me. I

sent him a grateful smile and he nodded in response. He knew what the relationship between Adrian and I was and that’s why he took the attention of the other people in the group away from me.
Lyla came rushing towards us and held my hands immediately she got to me, she must have seen what happened from the stage.
“Lola and I have something to do right now. How about we meet up with you guys for a group lunch tomorrow or the day after it? We really have to go now“, she hurriedly said and I looked at her in confusion.
We had something to do? How come I wasn’t informed? I was about to question her when she gave me a look that said ‘shut up‘.
“Of course we can meet again some other time. You can go. now“, Greg was the one who spoke. We said a hurried goodbye before we left the group and went towards the pack house.
“We have something to do? How do I not know about it?” I asked her as we moved towards the pack house. She stopped abruptly, making me almost trip.

“Of course we do not have plans, Lola. It to get you away from there, you looked uncomfortable” she said and I looked down at my hands.
Of course she noticed everything from the stage.
“You saw everything from the stage?” I asked her sheepishly. “Yes, I saw everything. Am I the only one you can raise your

voice at? You should have told the b*tch off when she said whatever she said. It must have been something about Adrian, I saw the way your face looked pained after she left“, she rushed out. I could feel the anger in her words and I wondered who the anger was directed at.
“What exactly was I supposed to say to her, Lyla? She told me to leave Adrian alone because he would never love me“, I said, my voice cracking. “And she was right. When I told Adrian what she said, he just left without saying anything. Is that whom I was supposed to fight for?” I asked with tears in my eyes and Lyla’s eyes softened.
She was about to talk when she stopped. “Let’s leave here first, there are lots of people around“, she dragged me into her room.
“Are you not supposed to be with your mate right now?” I – asked, partly because I did not want to have any conversation
regarding Adrian and partly because she was actually supposed to be with her mate.
“He went to look for Adrian and I had to get you out of that conversation earlier. Do not try to change the topic“, she glared at me.
“I should go home, Lyla. I have training with Jayden in the morning. I just started,I don’t want to miss out on it nor slack“, I changed the conversation. I did not want to talk about Adrian, he did not choose me so I’m not going to be bothered
about him.
Thankfully, Lyla dropped the matter when my words caught her attention. “You started training with Jayden? You’re so luckyyyyyy, he’s the best fighter and trainer in the whole of
the werewolf world. He’s not the Alpha King for nothing” she gushed and I sighed in relief at the change of subject.
“Yeah,I know I got lucky“, I laughed, “that’s why I shouldn’t slack so I won’t get punished by my trainer. I’d get going now Lyla, it’s late already“, I said but she stopped me.
“I’ll have Nathan drop you off at the house, it’s already late and I don’t want any harm to come to you“, she said but I disagreed. I did not want to keep her away from her mate any longer.
“I can walk the short distance just fine, Lyla. I promise you that I’m fine and can handle myself. And besides, no one cares about me enough to hurt me in this pack“, I argued. Seeing that I wasn’t going to back down, she nodded her head and offered to see me out.
We were barely outside when we met Greg, who was coming. into the pack house. I was going to avoid him but Lyla dragged us towards him.
“Gregggggggg, you’re heading in already?” Lyla asked a very obvious question and he nodded his head. I’ve noticed that he wasn’t a guy of many words which is very good.
“Can you see Lola home for me?” She asked and we both looked at her in shock at the same time. “I’ve told you I can get to the house back just fine“, I said to Lyla and she rolled her eyes. “Please, I don’t want to be a bother. You don’t have to listen to her “, I said to Greg.
“I’ll see her home, it’s not a bother at all“, he turned towards Lyla who clapped happily at that. “Now, I can go to my mate in peace“, she said before hugging me and skipping off leaving Greg and I alone.
“Shall we?” Greg said after a moment of silence and I nodded my head as we proceeded out of the pack house. The entire walk home was silent and awkward.
We were almost at the house when he spoke up. “So you’re Adrian’s mate?” I wasn’t even shocked by the question. I knew. that he knew already, he lived in the pack house after all.
“Yeah, I’m his mate“, I said softly. “Fay lied. You’re not a freak and you’re definitely worthy of love, any man would be lucky to have you as a mate“, he said and I opened my mouth in shock.
How did he hear what Fay said?
“How did you hear what Fay said? The distance was pretty far apart“, I asked in awe. “We’re at your house already. See you at the group lunch tomorrow or next tomorrow, Lola. Have a good night“. With that, he walked away speedily and I whispered my reply into the night.
I entered the house to find Adrian seated in the couch, f**king with anger. I ignored him and the mate pull and made my way to my room.
There’s only one way I can be happy in this pack. Moving on from Adrian and becoming a strong warrior, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
