Chapter 80
Lola’s POV
Jasmine was starting to get annoyed and wanted to be let out but I reined her in. I need to hear what he has to say before any other step can be taken.
“You’ll need to calm down so we can get any information he might have for us out of him, Adrian. He’s just trying to rile you up so stop growling and let’s concentrate on the matter at hand”, I snapped at him when he kept growling at the rogue who kept laughing at him through his pain.
“Yes. I’d like to know who you’re talking about so why don’t you tell us and we’d spare your life”, I told him. “I’d have loved to tell you but I wouldn’t survive anyway so I’ll carry it to my grave”, he groaned.
Thinking he was talking about his pain, I moved towards him a bit and Adrian followed closely behind me. “If it’s about the injury. I can heal it. You’ll be fine eventually, I just need you to answer some questions I’ll ask you”, I said gently.
“You’re so thoughtful but I’m going to die either way”, he muttered. Adrian pulled me back from him and shielded my b*dy with his huge. frame.
“Adrian”, I started but he cut me off. “That’s enough, Lola”, he growled. out. “You shouldn’t be here in the first place. Nathan, see her out”, he ordered.
“Oh, no. He’s joking if he thinks he’s going to go all Alpha mode on me right now”, Jasmine said and took over my b*dy before I could react.

“You’ll not tell me what to do in this situation, Adrian”, her voice boomed and everyone was shocked. Even the warriors looked taken aback but no one dared to speak.
“Jasmine”. Adrian called out but she held a hand up to silence him. “Enough, Adrian. I think I can handle the situation pretty well and let’s not forget that I can protect myself if the need arises. Do you need any more proof?” She pointed towards the rogue that was writhing in pain. and Adrian relaxed a bit.
Argh. I just want to sleep in my mate’s arms, not argue inside a cell.
“What were you doing in the pack and how did you get in?” Jasmine asked the rogue directly, completely ignoring Adrian. “Like he-hell I’d t-tell y-you-u. Jasmine”, he said mockingly and I could feel the rage building up inside of her. I men tally facepalmed at the back of Jasmine’s mind that I was.
“Jasmine. being forceful wouldn’t make him speak. He already knows he’s going to die, we need him if we’re going to move forward”, I tried reasoning with her. “Allow me to be in control. I can handle this, please”. I pleaded and that was when she finally allowed me to take control back.
“We’d make sure you’re safe, you need to help us for us to help you”, I tried reasoning with the still writhing rogue and saw the look in his eyes shift from being obstinate to trying to reason with me.
“I wanted to see what exactly the moon wolf he had been looking for looked like, so I hid in the trees after everyone left”, he breathed out.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Who? Who exactly is looking for her?” Adrian asked from behind met and I turned to give him a glare. “Can you just allow me to handle this?” I pleaded through our mindlink. He ran his hands through his hair before he started pacing up and down the cell..

“How come no one was able to spot you?” I asked again, crouching to his level. “Wi-witch”, he barely managed to cough out, “we have a powerful witch on our side and she helps us to mask our scents when we are going into other people’s territories”, he said, his voice dropping with every word. Thank goddess for werewolf hearing
“Who? Who exactly is looking for me?” I asked him, hoping we’d be able to get something out of the whole situation. “I can’t say”, he wheezed.
“Why?” My patience was already running thin and Jasmine was on edge. She was more affected by this whole thing because a wolf feels more connection to its people than the human side.
“I wouldn’t be able to mention his name anyways”, I was wondering what he meant by that when he spoke up again. “But I can say this much” he breathed, “there’s a traitor amongst you. Very close to you”, he said. His breathing was getting more laboured and I started pitying him.
“I’m going to cure you now. You look like you’re in so much pain”, I made to put his hand over his b*dy but he stopped me. “I really appreciate you trying to save me but I wasn’t going to make it anyways. If anything. I’m glad it’s happening in a pack”, I became more confused at his words.
“We were made to believe that all pack members are evil, egoistic people, which was true in my old pack but you’ve proven me wrong”, he gave me a weak smile. “I’m glad I got to meet the moon wolf before I died”, he said and I felt broken.
Just what has these psychopath done to get people to follow him?
“I know you keep saying you can’t say it but can you please tell me the name of the person in question and where they can be found?”

With a resigned look in his eyes, he opened his mouth to speak but an unexpected thing happened. It happened so fast and I wasn’t able to do. anything about it.
The rogue burst open and his insides splattered everywhere. Since I was beside him, I got his remains all over me. My whole b*dy was covered in bits of the human b*dy and I just sat down in it.
I was numb. I did not know how I got home, I did not know I got changed and cleaned. I couldn’t sleep through the night, the image of his remains was stuck in my head and I couldn’t get it out.
I did not cry. I did not sleep. I was wide awake while grieving the death of my kind that had been misled. If only we got his name, another life wouldn’t have been wasted over a dead end.
