Chapter 2 Men In Black!

• It was already past nine o'clock p.m when Lolita made it back home with her human baggage strapped to her back on her motorcycle.
• Thankfully, the whole town was indoors, as everyone was yet to recover from a bear attack on some residents which occurred the previous night.
• As a result, everyone went indoors immediately after the sunset.
• It was this same reason that Lolita met many town folks along her way to the Hardwood forest.
• Smallville as the name sounds may seem like a small town, however, it is not so.
• It is a town of about fifty-thousand residents.
• The town may not be as busy or fancy as the big towns, but it is not so lacking in the things all the big towns could boast of.
• There are a number of hospitals, schools from all levels to tertiary, banks, various recreational centers, a police station, and many more.
• The incident that got the residents all worked up, occurred the previous day, when a wounded bear rushed into the town, vandalized properties, and injured two police officers who took it upon themselves to help the residents to safety.
• It took the timely intervention of an unknown archer who shot the bear with a tranquilizer to knock it out. Calm was restored, but fear still exists in the hearts of everyone.
• Luckily for Lolita, the incident saved her from a lot of explaining if she had happened to be spotted by her neighbors.
• Lolita alighted from her motorcycle and carried Gavin to her room, while he was still strapped to her back.
• Laying him on the bed, Lolita removed the improvised bandage and cleaned his whole body with warm water, and then proceeded to dress his wounds.
• Afterwards, Lolita stitched every wound with so much precision that Gavin kept wondering where this she-wolf came from.
• She couldn't be a doctor, as she looked no less than seventeen. What was she doing in the woods at that time anyway?
• After everything was done, Lolita used a proper bandage this time around and gave him more drugs for the poison.
• She gave Gavin drugs that no one could recognize, as they were all the creations that she normally uses for the wounded wolves of Hardwood forest.
• "Alright, stranger! I know you can hear me...So I've pretty much-taken care of your poison, but when you get back..." She then listed a few herbs for him to brew so that the after-effects of the poison could be cleansed from his system.
• Afterwards, Lolita waited patiently for Gavin's help to arrive after feeding him a cup of water, albeit with so much difficulty.
• As she sat down to take a breather, Lolita felt so thankful that her grandmother was currently sleeping in her room downstairs.
• There would be no need for any long explanations because she didn't even know the details herself, nor did she bother to know.
• After all, curiosity killed the cat.
• Regaining a bit of strength, Gavin trailed his weak vision at the petite figure before him.
• She is undoubtedly the most beautiful she-wolf he had ever seen thus far.
• Her dark waterlike hair flows freely beyond her shoulders, with beautiful green eyes and a pointed nose that adorns her beautiful face.
• The most noticeable feature that Gavin had to use a lot of self-control to avert his eyes, happens to be her beautiful pink lips.
• He started thinking about certain things that no sick person should ever dream of.
• Everything about her looks so natural, no thick make-up, no lipstick, absolutely nothing artificial.
• The lolly before him was such a beauty that Gavin felt he needed to make her his, as soon as possible.
• He was suddenly possessive of the savior whose name he doesn't even know yet.
• There was complete silence in the room, but the two individuals were lost in a trail of their own thoughts.
• Suddenly, Lolita felt a burning gaze on her and lifted her head from her phone to hold the gaze of the injured young man she had just saved.
• She felt relief wash over her whole body the moment her eyes met his deep blue eyes.
• With a beautiful smile adorning her pretty face, Lolita says "glad you came around! I'm Lolly by the way"
• Gavin stared at her for a brief moment before saying "Gavin!...Thank you"
• Lolita stood to one side and said "My pleasure Gavin...I guess your escort is almost here!"
• She said so because she could hear people approaching from afar, and so could Gavin.
• Before they could knock on the door, Lolita opened it to meet a group of men dressed in all black, with some weird masks covering their faces.
• She looked them up and down when the leader suddenly stepped forward and spoke politely, "Hello! I'm Wesley! We are friends of Gavin's.
• Gavin mind-linked Wesley before his arrival, and he was sure his boss was lying somewhere in the room.
• However, the only thing separating them is a harmless petite she-wolf who looks extremely weak, but he knows better than to defy the Alpha by forcing his way in.
• Lolita gave Wesley a once over before stepping aside with a nod while saying, "the rest of you may want to wait out here."
• She wouldn't want the room packed with too many black-clothed men who could end up scaring her grandmother shitless.
• Wesley walked in with Ortiz, and Lolita closed the door behind them.
• "Come with me," says Lolita, as she leads the way to her room.
• When Wesley and Ortiz saw their Alpha wrapped in bandages all over his body, they halted their steps and turned to look at Lolita at the same time.
• Then, with a deep bow, the two said "thank you, miss! The Dark-Dawn pack will forever remember your kindness"
• "What...Dark-Dawn...pack?" Lolita looked between the two and Gavin with questioning eyes, but no one spoke afterwards.
• Wesley and Ortiz took in a deep gulp as they realized they just spoke out of turn.
• Both looked worriedly at Alpha Gavin and were confused about what met their eyes. "Is Alpha Gavin really smiling?"
• Maybe they saw wrong!
