Hazel's POV I stood at the door entrance trying to summon the courage to knock on the door. My heart was beating fast and sweat broke in my face. Even though he had not summoned me, I still have to find answers to the questions raging in my mind. I need to know if the intruder broke in because of my locket, is it also related to the threat letter I received last night? I took a deep breath and clenched my fist to knock on the oak wooden door but before I could knock, his voice stopped me short.“Come in Hazel, I can hear you hesitating” his voice broke through from inside the office. Of course, he could sense me with his heightened Alpha senses. I pushed open the door silently and slowly entered the dimly lit office. He stood facing the window with his back towards me, his hands in his pants pocket and he looked as if he's staring into the crescent moon ahead. I looked around the big office, taking in its opulence. The huge wooden bookshelves stood at the left against the wall. My

Hazel’s POVBack in my room. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I closed my eyes, my fingers tracing where his lips had claimed mine. I could still feel my lips tingle where he had kissed me as if his kiss had left a permanent imprint on my lips. His fierce and possessive kiss was unlike anything that I had ever experienced.'You belong to me' his words still rang in my ears.My cheeks burned as I remembered how I had responded to his kiss. I had wanted to resist him, to pull away but my treacherous body betrayed me and melted into his embrace, surrendering to his electrifying touch. But the shocked look on his eyes afterwards made me wonder if he had regretted touching me. He looked as if he saw something strange and unexpected.Why had he kissed me in the first place? I don't even know if that kiss meant anything to him. Did he do it just because he was jealous when I was chatting with Ethan? Or has he really accepted me as his mate?I still don't know where I stand. I know that

Xavier’s POV The delicate feel of her lips, how her warmth saturated deep inside me — it seemed as if my whole existence had been set ablaze. I had not planned to kiss her but I had to shut her mouth when she was boasting about me not marking her. The thought of her talking and smiling at Ethan still burns me with rage. She belongs to me. It wasn't just about the possessiveness that flooded through me. No, it was something more, it was deeper. I have never felt this way about anybody, not even when I had been with Zaria. Yet, with Hazel, it was unique.Her sweet scent filled my nostrils. My wolf stirred inside me, tearing to the surface, driven by the need to completely claim her. But then it happened.I felt her body strain — a rush of energy that wasn't hers flowed through her veins into mine and burned against me. I pulled back and I gazed at her eyes.Her ocean-blue eyes had changed. They were glowing, an unnatural, blazing red that appeared to hold mysteries older than time

Hazel's POV I thought of who could have sent the letter. Was it Elder Albert? The old man has never hidden the fact that he hates my gut. He wants me not only gone from the mansion but dead. Or is it Bianca? I remembered the spiteful way she had treated me yesterday. But why would she send a letter when she could threaten me face to face. Who could it be? I thought back on the locket, how it glowed when Alpha Xavier held it out to me. I have always thought of it as a trinket that holds the memory of my parents, nothing more. But why is it pulsing with energy?What were my parents hiding from me?My mind was restless till I finally fell asleep. *******Morning The knock on my door was sharp, intrusive, and unwanted. I winced, pulling the blankets tighter around myself. My restless night had left me feeling weak, the words in the letter still haunted me. Before I could muster the strength to respond, the door slammed open.It was Bianca. Who else?I rolled my eyes and pulled the b

Hazel's POVI sat at the edge of my bed unable to get over what happened today. The morning had started with Bianca ordering me around and treating me like a servant and then insisting that I serve at the Elder's meeting. It was a nightmare. I remembered how the elders attacked me with their accusations.I sighed in exhaustion, and lay on the bed, everything that happened today had really exhausted me— Elder Albert's accusations, the official's critical stares, Xavier's sudden defense of me. But why does he always defend me as if he possesses me even though he is cold towards me. A soft knock startled me. The door opened and he entered the room. "Hazel," his voice deep. "We have to talk."Alpha Xavier.I quickly got up from the bed, pulling my sheets up my chin to cover my transparent night gown. I was too shocked to see him here in my room. His presence filled the entrance, his broad shoulders shutting out the faint light coming in from the corridor. His grey eyes were scrutinizing

Xavier's POVI had called this meeting to discuss the rogue wolf I had caught and killed last night. It was an invasion into our territory that hadn't happened in a long time. I sat at my usual seat listening to my official's view about yesterday's outbreak but my focus was broken. My wolf had been restless since morning, pacing inside me, sensing something was off.Then I caught her scent— her soft and sweet scent. Hazel. My mate.I felt a sense of uneasiness sweeps through me. She's not supposed to be here. I could feel her distress as she opened the door and walked into the hall with her legs trembling. She bowed her head, causing her silver-white hair to fall over her pale face as if she were hiding her face. She carried a tray of wine glasses in her hands, her hands trembling slightly. I felt a pang of anger. She is not supposed to be working as a servant, she's my mate.This morning, I had ordered Marianna to be sent to the south pack house for disobeying my orders about the
