Chapter 29
“Are you okay, Lola?”, Lyla asked me as I came out wearing my former clothes, “You look like you have a lot on your mind”. I nodded my head in negative to assure her that I was okay.
“This won’t do. If massage won’t take your mind off things, I know what will. Off to our next stop”, she clapped her hand excitedly and I tried to make excited too, since she was doing this for me.
“We’ll be off, Serena. I’ll see you another time. Thank you for your time”, Lyla held my hands and dragged me out of the shop without waiting for Serena’s response. I managed to catch her eyes before we left the shop and she smiled sadly while waving at me.
We came to a stop in front of a store that sells clothes. I could not remember the exact name of the store but it started with a G. Their clothes were very expensive but Lyla said that was exactly why we went in there.
We shopped for clothes for almost 2 hours. Chelsea made us enter almost every store that sold clothings and accessories in the mall. We also shopped for girly products and makeup.
Before we went to eat, we stopped by a store called Victoria’s Secret. They had a lot of sexy underwear and Chelsea made me buy them even when I told her I wouldn’t be needing them.
My hands were starting to ache from how much load we had. We stopped by a food court and Chelsea ordered a burger and fries for me. I’ve never had it before, it felt so good eating something that wasn’t prepared in the kitchen. I’m not saying they’re not good but it was a nice change.
I felt eyes on me and looked towards where the feeling came from but saw nothing. I’ve been feeling that way since we left Serena’s place. Jasmine also became restless in my head.
“Do you feel it too, Lola. It feels like someone is following us”, I heard through our mindlink. “I don’t see anybody though, nothing looks out of place here. Maybe it’s all in our head from what we dreamt and what Serena told us”, I replied back and she went quiet again.
“Are you ready to drop our stuff in the car? We have one more place to go but we can’t go with all of these things,” Lola told me when we were done eating. I nodded my head and we made our way over to the car. We dropped stuff before heading back into the mall.
This time around we made our way to a salon. Lola seemed to know the people here too and I waited while they exchanged pleasantries.
“I thought you might want to change your appearance or do something with your hair, that’s why we’re here. You don’t have to if you don’t want to, we can just get mani and pedi and go”, Lyla told me softly.
I felt my hair that was almost reaching my lower back and decided that there’s no harm in trying out something new.
“I’d like to cut it, I want a completely new look”, I said confidently. Lyla also took a seat beside me and demanded that her hair be cut too. I appreciated her support and kind heart.
I loved what I saw when I looked in the mirror afterwards. My hair was barely reaching my shoulder. The white stood out against my skin clearly and I could not stop touching it.
Lyla looked breath-taking with her new look too. It was almost the same length as mine but she got bangs too.
Our manicure and pedicure was next and it felt good to have someone dote on me for a change. It came out well and we left the mall after we paid.
I won’t say the whole experience today made me forget all that I was going through but I at least have happy memories and I had a fun day.
The ride back home was peaceful and I slept a little before we reached the pack.
Unknown’s POV
“What did you find”, I spoke into the receiver immediately I picked up.
“The girl Lilith gave us information that fits the description you told us sir, but I doubt she’s the one. She doesn’t seem to even have a wolf. I don’t think she’s the right person, sir”, the voice on the other end of the receiver spoke and I growled at him.
“That’s why she’s different, idiot. Do not lose her, I need you to find out what pack she stays in. Do not come back without tangible information”, I spoke into the receiver and hung up.
Very soon, darling, very soon you’ll be mine and mine alone.
