Chapter 127
Lola’s POV
I was in the garden when I opened my eyes. The garden? Oh shit, the garden. That means I have been gone for a while. Adrian is going to panic when he realizes that I’m not waking up. Rose is going to go crazy when she finds out too.
I sat up and looked around frantically, trying to see if I could find Selene but she was nowhere to be found. I stood up, not bothering to take in the garden that had always fascinated me with its beauty.
My goal was to find Selene, discuss whatever brought me here and get out. I need to get back to my pack. “I need to get back to my mate”, Jasmine growled in my head.
She was being restless which was not helping my situation at all. “Will you calm the fuck down?” I screamed at her through our mindlink.
“Selene is nowhere to be found and you know fully well that we can’t get out of here without seeing her“. She fucking kept quiet after that and I fell to the ground on my knees with my head between my hands, breathing heavily and willing myself to cry.
“Child”, I heard Selene’s voice and stood up so fast, I almost got a

whiplash. I faced her and her beautiful face was in sadness. At the sight of her, all my anger and worries vanished and I was concerned about her.
A mere mortal is concerned about a goddess? Yeah, I asked myself that too but I was actually worried about her. If the calm and gentle Selene had something troubling her, we definitely have a huge problem on our

hands.
“Why long face, Selene? Is something the matter?” I gently probed her but she did not say a word. She led us towards a meadow and made us sit down.
“You have to tell me something, Selene. There has to be a reason I’m here, right?” I asked her and she sighed.
“I have news on how to conquer Damon“, she said and I squealed in delight. “This is good news, Selene“, I hugged her but she didn’t return my excitement.
“I have good and bad news, child“, her sad eyes looked into mine but I just gaped at her. If she was so disturbed about something, it must be very bad..
“Tell me, then“, I snapped at her. I was getting agitated and she wasn’t helping matters with her silence.
“I met with the fates since they’re the only ones that can predict what will happen and we came up with a way to stop Damon from taking over but they want something else in exchange for that“, she said.
I looked at her intently, waiting for her to keep talking. “What do they want in return? I’d do anything to save my people. I’ll do anything to save Crescent moon pack. They gave me life when I thought it was over for me. They made me feel like a part of them and I found a home and ray of hope with them. Nothing the fates want in return will be too much to give up“, I said to her.
And I meant every word of it. Nothing is too much to sacrifice for them. Nothing at all.
“They want your soul, Lola“, she said and paused, but I said nothing. “That means you can never be reincarnated nor will you see your mate

again. Taking your soul means you’ll be alone for eternity, I can’t let them do that to you“, she whispered into the air around us.
I wanted to smile and tell her that it was nothing and I’d gladly let my soul be taken if it meant that I’d be able to stop all of them from being killed but it was hard for me.
I turned away from her and clawed at my chest. It felt like the air around me was disappearing and the whole world was caving in on me. I was finding it difficult to breathe but I was still aware of everything going on around me.
“Lola, Lola”, Selene shook me gently and I gasped for air like I just came out of the water. “I’m so sorry, child. I tried to negotiate with them but that was the only thing they wanted in exchange for the information. They’re willing to wait till you conquer the rogues before they take it“, she said.

“What do I do?” I asked her. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing, human?” Jasmine growled in my head. “Saving our pack and people, of course. What the fuck does it seem like?” I snapped at her.
“We can’t leave our mate like that. I can’t leave my mate like that. I went through a lot for me to get this happiness, I won’t let any rogue wolf take it away from me do easily “, she snapped and I rolled my eyes at her.
“There won’t be any pack or mate to go to if we failed, Jas“, I screamed at her. “Don’t you get it? We won’t have a pack nor a mate if we don’t save our people“, I said that part softly and she whimpered in my head before going silent. I felt her recede to the back of my head and sighed in defeat.
I turned to Selene and waited for her to answer my question. “First, you have to complete your mating bond with your mate“, she said and I looked at her like she had grown another head.

Completed our mating bond already, Selene“, I told her. Is she not supposed to know things like that? I even have the mark on my neck. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“I know that you guys completed your mating bond but Jasmine and Daxon didn’t “. Oh. Oh.
“They have to complete their mating bond so that you can finally unlock your full power“, she said and I nodded.
“You’ll need your mate every step of the way for this. Remember that you can’t do it alone, so allow him to help you as much as he can“, she said and I nodded again.
She went silent and I looked at her quizzically. “So how do we conquer them?” I asked and she laughed softly.
“You’ll figure that out with your mate, you just have to trust him and accept help from people around you“, she said with a sad smile in her
eyes.
Is she kidding me?? I was about to ask her what she meant by that and why she wasn’t telling me what the plan to get rid of the rogues was when I felt myself being pulled under.
Fuck you, Selene.
