Chapter 71 

Lola’s POV 

I walked in front eagerly while Adrian followed behind me. I saw this huge ride that called out to me. I tugged on his arm and excitedly pointed to the ride. 

“You wanna go on that?“, He asked and I eagerly nodded. “Let’s get you on it then“, he flashed me a smile before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the booth where we got the tickets. 

“Why do you want to go on the ride?” He asked while we waited for the ride to stop so we could get on. “I just feel like I have memories connected to my parents on that ride“, I shrugged. 

He nodded and did not say anything after that. The ride came and I happily got on. The ride was fun and it turned out that Adrian was scared of it, he just got on because I wanted to. He screamed out his lungs and was so quick to get down when the ride finally stopped. 

While he was trying to get his composure, I was busy laughing at him. Who would have thought rides would make him scared? He glared at me the whole time I was laughing but I did not care at that moment. 

After he calmed down, he stood upright and turned towards the large wheel, “I’m never getting on that again“, he mumbled and I covered my mouth so I won’t burst out laughing again. 

“I can definitely watch that all day“, I said and he turned to glare at me but I pointed to a candy stand that got my attention. “Ouuuu, that looks good“, I said and turned to look at him with a big smile on my face. 

His frown disappeared and he pulled me into him. “You’re right, it sure 

looks good and I definitely need some sugar after that ride“, he said and I giggled. 

I took his hand and pulled him towards the stand. The man at the stand. gave us a big smile when we got there. “What can I get the lovebirds?” He asked and I pointed towards one big cotton candy. 

“Or would you like to try our couple’s special candy?” He asked and I nodded excitedly. He took different colors of cotton candy and started pouring it bit by bit into the machine while making heart shaped cotton. candy with different colors. 

I clapped excitedly when he finally gave us the giant heart on two sticks. I shared it into two and gave Adrian one half while I took the other half. I took the first bite and it tasted like heaven, Adrian also seemed to like it. He paid and we moved away from the stand. 

“I’m really glad you went on that ride with me despite your fear of it“, I said as we walked around the park. “I’ll do it again if it will make you happy, baby“, he replied and I nodded. “Does that mean you’ll go on it now if I want to go again?” I asked teasingly. “Oh, hell no. Definitely not the ride“, he spoke quickly and I laughed which he soon joined in. 

“Were you able to get memories of them on that ride?” He asked after a while. I nodded with a smile, “yeah, I was“. 

“For eight years, I gradually lost my memories with them until they became distant. Crescent moon changed that for me. I was able to feel like I belonged somewhere again, I wasn’t treated badly and it has been. a good experience for me“, I finished with a sigh. 

“And I was just like your old pack until recently“, he sighed sadly and I turned to face him. “You were a jerk, yes, you were a big jerk but you’re also the reason I grew into the girl I am now. I never would have imagined that I would be strong enough to defend myself not to talk of being the moon wolf“, I grabbed his face in the middle of the park and 

made him look into my eyes. 

“What matters now is that you’re here and you’re trying to make up for your mistake and that’s fine by me so stop beating yourself up“, he nodded when I was done speaking. 

“And for eight years, I thought I was an only child also. I wonder how I did not know that I had a sibling“, I continued talking and walking in front of him. I stopped when I noticed that he wasn’t following me. 

“Adrian?” I moved towards him and shook him a little when I noticed that he was out of it. “What’s the matter?” I asked when he finally snapped out of it. 

He led me towards a somewhat quiet place in the park and made us sit there. I did not like the silence that surrounded us, I felt like he was going to give me bad news or tell me something I wouldn’t like. 

“I had a younger sister too“, he started and I listened with rapt attention, “she died eight years ago also“, he finished and my heart broke for him. 

It must have been hard for him to deal with. At least, I had no idea I had a brother until recently. He knew his sister and it must have been a hard pill to swallow. 

“If she were to be alive, she’d be around your age by now“, he said with a sad smile and I hugged him. “She’d have had my head on a plate if she could witness how I treated you, she was very fiery even at her young age“, he laughed at the memory of her. 

“What happened to her?” I asked curiously. I never knew he had a sister, nobody in the pack has ever talked about it, not even Lyla and the girls. 

“Rogues. She was killed by rogues. A rogue I trusted and believed to 

be my mate killed her in my stead“, he said and a lone tear rolled down his left eye.
