Lola’s POV
I awoke to stabbing pains in my stomach and willed myself not to cry. I had to stop crying at every little inconvenience. I looked out the window and saw sunlight streaming in. I wonder how long I had been out for.
I wanted to stand up but I felt like ten thousand needles were piercing my joints. I was so weak and it took a while for me to be able to sit up.
I realized I was n*ked and remembered that it was Rose that helped me through the night. She saw my scars and bruises and I hated the fact that I made her cry.
I was about to get up when I saw an ointment with a note on the bed side table. I gently took it and read what was written. there;
”
Apply this on your scars. I’m so sorry you had to go through that“.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
It was a simple note that had me smiling, knowing I had someone that cares about me. Rose has to be the sweetest person I’ve ever met, Lyla mustn’t hear that though.
I stood up and was suddenly overwhelmed by the smell of Adrian. It seemed like he came into my room not quite long. Nah, he couldn’t have. It’s not like he cares about me
anyways.
Imade my way slowly to the bathroom. I was afraid to look in

the mirror so I kept my eyes glued to my feet while I made my way into the shower.
I set the temperature to the point that it was almost scalding and stood under it for as long as I could remember. I wasn’t thinking about anything, I was in a state of nothingness. I was neither happy nor sad, my mind was blank and I could barely feel the water running over my skin.
When I felt like I had had enough, I turned off the water and took a deep breath before walking towards the mirror bare and n*ked as the day I was born.
As I looked in the mirror, something caught my eyes on my b*dy. A tattoo of a silver wolf howling to a silver crescent moon was starting to form below my left breast, just over my heart. That’s new, I’ve never seen it before.
It was still so faint but its color stood out amongst the black, purple and brown on my skin. I don’t know why but I kinda liked it.
“Feeling any different, Lola?” Jasmine said in my head for the first time since Adrian walked out on us and I was happy to have her back.
“Jasssss, you’re back!!“, I said excitedly in my head and heard her wolfish laughter. “Yeah, I’m back. Figured you won’t be able to live without me“, she teased and I rolled my eyes at
her.
“Well, you are right. What will I do without your sassy self?” | said, still excited. “You’re so lucky to have me durhhh. So, feeling any different?” She asked her question again.
“Apart from this tattoo that’s just forming over my heart, I feel the same as ever“, I told her through the mindlink. “I’ve been feeling slightly different since our encounter with the Moon. goddess in the garden“, she told me.
“How do you feel different? What changes have you seen?“| asked curiously. I was eager to know what changes she was going through.
“Probably because of the energy of the moon goddess in the garden, I feel stronger than I’ve ever been in years. My eye color changed too. One eye is a glowing golden color, the other has a glowing blue with golden iris. My fur is not utterly white anymore, I see a glimpse of silver“, she breathed out excitedly and I smiled at her enthusiasm.
“My hair became utterly white too. I haven’t seen any changes. in my b*dy, save the tattoo over my heart. I see you’re very -excited about the new changes“, I said to her and felt her nod
her head.
“Why did you not let me take your pain yesterday, Lola. It could have killed you“, she changed topic and my eyes
instinctively went to my stomach where another purple bruise was starting to form.
I sighed before replying to her, “you’re still weak, Jas. And I’m not dead, that counts for something right?” She just rolled her eyes at me.
I wrapped my b*dy in a towel and went into my room to grab some clothes from the ones I shopped for the day before. I remembered Lyla and smiled, I should reach out to her. But
how?
I
I don’t have a phone nor can I mindlink her. I decided that I
was going to ask Rose about it later. Hopefully, she can let me go out to see her, I’ve already been slacking as a maid already.
I picked a pink sweatshirt and black jeans to go with it. I picked S**y black underwear and I felt a bit confident in my b*dy. The things lace underwear can do to your self–esteem.
I was about to get dressed when I remembered the ointment Rose kept on my bedside table. I applied it and felt a lot better. I dressed up and went downstairs to see Rose.
The smell of food wafted into my nose and my stomach grumbled loudly just as I set foot into the kitchen threshold. Rose looked up from she was doing and laughed at that.
“Glad to hear that you’re hungry, I prepared all of these for you“, she said with a smile on her face. Her flawless face looks swollen and she seemed to be forcing herself to be cheerful. I felt bad, knowing that I was the cause of her tears.
“About yesterday, I……“, she gave me a stern look before coming over to the counter to hold my hands. “You will not apologize about last night nor take blame for anything. You are the victim, you were the one in pain. If anyone should be sorry, it should be my sorry excuse for a son“, she said sincerely and my eyes watered at her words.
For 8 years, I never had a mother figure to defend me against people that hurt me, it felt really good to be sided with. I nodded my head at her words and she led me towards the table where a lot of food awaited me.
I ate a lot that morning, partly because Rose wouldn’t have it any other way and because I actually feel like I could stomach. a lot of food, which I did.

Rose and I were cleaning up when Adrian came down looking like he just survived an apocalypse, I still found him handsome despite his appearance.
He came into the kitchen and took his food while Rose and I completely ignored him. I don’t know what transpired when I slept but he seemed quite remorseful and Rose seemed upset too. I refrained from asking Rose about how I could contact Lyla for that day.
Immediately Adrian left the kitchen, I felt the need to work on myself and build a life for myself here in this pack.
“Rose?“I called out softly. “Yes, Lola?” She turned to look at me. “I was wondering if you could tell Alpha Jayden to allow me to start training. I don’t want to keep being the weak wolf of the pack“, I said the last part lowly to myself but she heard anyway.
The kitchen was silent afterwards and I looked up to find her staring at me with her mouth open like she was in shock. I opened my mouth to apologize when she pulled me into a hug.
“Of course, of course Jay is going to allow you to train. No, what am I saying? He’s going to train you himself. You’re going to start tomorrow. I’m so proud of you for thinking about taking this bold step“, she pulled me into a hug again. and a smile broke out on my face.
The rest of the day was spent talking about random things, with Rose doing the talking of course. We cooked dinner together and ate when Jayden came back. He agreed to train me and I felt happy taking the cold step for myself.
As I went to bed that night, my heart was filled with happiness

and joy. I knew it was a new beginning for me.
