Chapter 41
I hurriedly ate my food so I could get ready to go to the packhouse. It was only an excuse to see Lola, knowing fully well that Lyla is her only friend and she would be in public with her all through the ceremony.
I was just getting out of the shower when Nathan’s voice sounded in my head loudly, in excitement.
“I found my mate, bro”, he shouted excitedly in my head and I broke into a smile.
“That’s really cool, man. I’m so excited for you”, I replied to him in excitement too. I was really excited for him. We’re both 25 and he’s been looking for his mate for a while.
I was confused about a thing though, he’s always been in the pack, how did he just find his mate today? It clicked in my head.
“Lyla is your mate, isn’t she?” I asked and he eagerly answered. “Yeah, she is. How did you know though?” He laughed into the mindlink.
“It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out, man. You’ve always been in the pack and now you got your mate the same day she turned 18”. It was pretty obvious to be honest.
I was very happy for him. He’d always been in love with Lola since we were teenagers but he hid it because he wanted to find his mate. He did not want to lead her on or have her believe that they could be together. I was so happy it turned out well for him. 4
“I’d see you at the pack house later”, I said before I closed the mindlink. I settled in what to wear but decided to wait in the house till it was almost time for the ceremony. It will be awkward to be around Mom.
I left the house in the evening around 5:30 pm. The packhouse looked beautifully decorated but amidst all, all I was searching for was the blue eyed beauty that lived rent free in my head.
It was soon time and the whole packhouse was swarming with people but I did not see whom I was looking for. I entered the garden where the ceremony was to take place and Daxon started stirring inside me.
“What’s wrong, Dax? Is something going on?” I asked and he said just one word, “Mate”. No sooner had he spoken when I locked eyes with the most beautiful lady I’ve ever seen.
She looked drop dead gorgeous and the black gown did not do justice to her beauty enough. I felt my heart beating rapidly in my chest but that wasn’t what amazed me.
For the first time since we met, I felt connected to her wolf. Her eyes widened too as she seemed to feel it too. Lyla was talking to her but she seemed to be stuck in one place.
I made a move to go towards her when Fay stepped in front of me, making me lose eye contact with her for a moment.
I felt Daxon growl in my head at being interrupted from going to his mate. “What the fuck do you want, Fay”, i growled at her. She seemed to be scared for a moment before she smiled at me seductively.
“You did not call me since you left yesterday morning, Adrian. I was waiting for you”, she purred as she placed her hands on my chest.
I felt rage running through my veins and resisted the urge to snap her fucking neck. I felt my eyes change colors, partly giving Daxon control.
“Get your filthy hands off my body and know your place, pup”, I growled at her and she moved back in fear before scurrying away from me.
I looked up, searching for Lola but she was nowhere to be found. I wanted to feel more of what I felt when our eyes met.
I’m going to work to get her, I promised myself.
