Lola’s POV
“He definitely feels the mate bond and wants to be with you too“, she laughed as we neared the car that I just noticed was parked in front of the house.
“Huh?” I asked. I wasn’t really paying attention to what she was saying. My attention was on the handsome man I left behind. What was that expression on his face? It couldn’t have been jealousy, I must have seen wrong.
“I said Adrian likes you too and feels the mate bond. You should have seen his face when I mentioned Greg“, she said as she doubled over with laughter, letting go of my hand in the process.
“You think so?” I asked her, my heart skipping a beat in anticipation. “I think? I know that he feels the mate bond too, Lola. You should have seen his face when I mentioned Greg. I believe he wants to be with you too but he’s feeling reluctant
about it.
I went mute as we entered the car. If he truly loved me, why did he have S** with Fay? Why did he not say one word of assurance when I told him what Fay did? A lot of questions ran through my head and I tried to shake it off.
I’m going to have fun today and worry about Adrian later. My goal is to work better on myself and grow beyond anyone’s imagination so until he decides to speak up and take.

either.
Throughout the car ride, Lyla chattered non–stop about how her first night with Nathan was, how good it felt to finally find her mate, how gentle Nathan was with her.

with her.
I tried to follow her constant chatter but my mind couldn’t help but wonder about a lot of things. I felt grateful to Rose and Jayden for taking me in and standing by me against their son. I thought about how my life had changed in the span of a week. I went from almost dying to going to have coffee with people I just met.
“Jasmine?” I called out to her. She’d been so silent since yesterday and I know Adrian is the reason. “Yes, Lola“, she said softly almost like she was sleeping and did not want to be disturbed but I know otherwise, she’s my wolf afterall.
“Thinking about Adrian?” I asked and she scoffed. “As if“, she said, making me laugh out loud. “What exactly does that she- wolf have that I do not?“she suddenly asked and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. “So much for not thinking about him. I’m sure her wolf isn’t half as gorgeous as you are but her human. side is and no one has ever seen you“, I said and I could feel

her rolling her eyes at me.
“But Lyla said he likes us. Why can’t he just man up and choose us?” She questioned. Same thing I’ve been thinking, Jas, same thing.
“If he’s not going to outrightly choose us, we might as well just focus on growth, Jas. If he eventually decides to choose.

us, he should regret not picking us earlier“, I said and she nodded her wolfish head.
I was about to speak again when Lyla’s “we’re here” rang through the car. I looked up to see that we were at a cute ice cream shop still within the pack.
From what I saw from the car, the pack also had a big mall. and beautiful places we could have shopped from the other day.
“Lyla, you said the human town was the only place where we could shop the other day!” I exclaimed and she laughed. “Fine, I shouldn’t have lied because you’d have figured it out anyways but I just wanted to take you beyond the pack that day. I did not want you to come across Adrian and get your mood spoiled again“, she explained and I nodded my head.
“And I also wanted to piss Nathan off“, she said before getting out of the car. I laughed a bit before getting down after her and following her into the ice cream parlor.
We entered and she seemed to be searching for something until I heard a loud voice from a secluded seat towards the back of the room. “Lyla, Lola, over here“, we looked towards the sound to see Avianca waving at us excitedly. We waved back at her before heading towards where they were seated.
“Hi guys“, Lyla and I greeted them simultaneously before taking a seat. The one seat available after Lyla sat down was the one beside Greg. I remembered his words from last night and felt my cheeks growing hotter.
That was the first time a guy would tell me that I deserve to be picked over everyone so it was kinda huge for me. “Hey Lola“, he said gently beside me, making me look into his face. He
looked gorgeous too but he wasn’t Adrian. “Hi Greg“, I said quickly and looked away from him.
“Your outfit is cute, Lola“, Lotana said, making me smile at her. “Thank you, Lyla picked it“, I sent a small smile to her and she grinned at me back.
“Now, now, shall we order for our cup of goodness? Our princesses kept us waiting and now that they’re here, let’s not waste anymore time“, Avianca said and we all agreed.
I couldn’t decide on what flavors to pick since it’s been so long I had ice cream I had forgotten what it tasted like. Lyla ordered a sundae for me with a variety of toppings. I felt bad for taking more than what others took when I’m not the one paying so Lyla ordered a sundae, which in turn made everyone order a sundae.
While we waited, I could have sworn that I smelled Adrian but I looked around and I couldn’t find him so I shrugged it off. Our ice cream soon came and we all dug into it. I could have cried from the goodness I was experiencing. It tasted so good and amazing and I happily scraped my cup.
After chatting for a while, we decided to go ‘bowling‘. I spotted Nathan’s car as we left the ice cream parlor but I shrugged it off. Anyone could have that kind of car and since. Lyla doesn’t seem to be bothered about it, I did not bother about it either.
I could not understand how they were doing it but everyone. seemed to be having fun and it was all good until Greg asked me if I wanted to try too. I nodded my head and he led me towards one of the alleys.
He showed me how to position my b*dy and I tried it,

knocking half of the bottles down in one go. I was so happy I hugged Greg without thinking.
I pulled back and before I could wrap my head around what I did, Greg was on the floor with a familiar man punching the daylight out of him.
Imagine my shock when the man was finally pulled off Greg and it turned out to be Adrian.
