It had been one week since the body was found. Her training with Joshua was getting tougher day by day. Even Ezequiel was not interfering in it. Initially, she did get worried about the dead body found in suburbs but Ezequiel convinced her that it should not be on her mind anymore. The strenuous training was helping her a lot to avoid overthinking.
Her body muscles had gotten stiff because of lack of prior physical activity. But according to Joshua and Ezequiel, it was expected.
The dead body belonged to a rogue werewolf. His letters showed that he was hopelessly in love with Hazel. He took help from Alicia to reach his love. According to the letter, Alicia was happy because once Hazel will be with this love-struck werewolf, chances of Alicia being with Ezequiel would increase.
Hazel had never seen or met this werewolf who called himself a secret admirer of her.
She was disturbed yet happy that at last, she would go around freely. But Josh
She must be dreaming! Right? Ezequiel James just proposed to her. The pool and its colors started turning dull and vague just like her future. Because of the water at the brim of her eyes and then it easily started flowing on her face taking away the black kohl applied in her eyes.“Damn! You should have informed me that I will be needing waterproof makeup.”She turned to him, crying and laughing at the same time, and found him on his knee carrying a ring in his hand,“Zeki!”Now, this was too much to bear. In his hand, he was carrying a ten to eleven-carat Emerald cut diamond ring on the velvet cushion of a vintage-inspired box. It looked more like an heirloom.“My dearest and loveliest Zella! This is the moment I had been waiting and rehearsing for so long. The moment you slapped in our first meeting I decided then and there that she will be the one. The girl who will become my wife.” She tried to smile but cou
When Joshua entered the bedroom a little hesitantly, Hazel was holding her head sitting on the bed while Ezequiel was pacing around restlessly.He got the mind link from Ezequiel to reach here. First, he was confused why he would be summoned to Alpha’s bedroom. Though they used to crash in the room a lot in the past. But after finding their mates they had stopped themselves from doing that respecting each other’s privacy.“What is it? Hazel, you alright?” He sat on his hinges before her on the floor. It seemed like something was bottled up in her body and she was hardly able to endure it.She seemed awful and was on the verge of crying.“Joshua! Hazel thinks that someone is in danger.” Ezequiel had dark circles around his eyes.“Who is in danger?” Joshua gently asked her.“Exactly. That’s what she wants to find out.” Ezequiel said in a strained voice.“Wait a minu
“Are you ready for this Vanilla?” Zeki was in his wolf form but the worry in his voice was so obvious that it melted her heart.She gave him a smile full of false bravado and courage. She knew she could do this. She had to do it.This time while returning she did not accept any drug. She was more than ready for the trip. And was eager to reach home.The only thing she made sure of was not to eat anything before or during the travel. That might aggravate her sickness. Ezequiel warned her that this time he might want to keep his speed super-fast like a bolt of lightning but Hazel did not mind. She had to save her loved ones. And for that, she was ready to go to any length.Few warriors were supposed to accompany them during the run. She climbed on Caleb and looked around.“Tie your arms around my neck, sweetheart!” Caleb was now looking ahead, ready to take off. The moment he started running Hazel made a mental note to either
“I don’t think if I should marry Tyler. I am having second thoughts now. We are happy without getting into this mess. Right? Then why am I marrying him, Hazel?”“Ivy! Are you crazy?” Hazel facepalmed with a tight lipped smile, shaking her head. “You are calling your wedding ‘a mess’ ?”“No. I am saying that we are happy. So why marry? When we are enjoying without it.” Ivy was trying to convince her standing in front of the large full length mirror while trying on her wedding dress.Hazel was sitting nearby on the stool inside the trial room trying to decipher Ivy’s happy-no-wedding talks. “The man is crazy about you Iv. Your wedding is just a week away.”“Yeah. I know! May be I am getting pre wedding jitters.” Ivy took a long breath while examining herself in the full length mirror.“Iv! Look at me!” Hazel’s tone had warning in it but w
Hazel had done her duty as a bridesmaid. She looked stunning in a sexy and elegant, tea pink dress that displayed a halter neckline with a V cutout. Her spaghetti ties lead to alluring back cutouts with her chiffon skirt flares into a flowy A-line skirt with a sexy leg slit. She entered the church following Chris in a blue suit similar to the groom.When Ivy entered, everyone was awed. She did look lovely in an off-white, tulle styled gown designed with Cathedral train lace. The gown looked beautiful with all the floral details.Tyler’s eyes were on his beautiful bride. The way he was looking at her made her look towards Ezequiel seated in the front row in a black dress. He was not looking at the bride she realized. His eyes were staring at her without blinking.When she rolled her eyes with a smile he chuckled and gave her a silent kiss from his seat. But she knew he wanted to kiss her and was stopping himself with great might.After the vows when
The phone was ringing continuously.Cursing under his breath he came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel around his waist.“Yes?” He tried to mask the irritation after receiving the call.“Can I talk to Noah please?” He heard a girl on the other side.“Speaking.” Noah looked at his phone and then stuck it between his ear and shoulder. He started wearing his boxers while balancing the phone.“Noah. It’s me. Alicia.” Noah went still for a moment then shifted the phone to the other ear.“What do you want Alicia?”“Noah. Just listen to me. This girl Hazel …”“Alicia. You listen to me.” He hissed, “Anything happens to Hazel and you are finished. Got it? She is family now.”“No no. I am not doing anything to her. But she and her family might be in danger.”“Alicia. If it’s meant to be a
She felt pain in her head. While giving her nose the whiff of the chloroform, they had hit her head with something.She opened her eyes and looked around. It was a dark room with no window. Her eyes were wide in an attempt to be wide awake and to see through the dark. Which place is this man!Guess what. She was not able to see anything. She tried to pull her hand to rub her eyes but was horrified to realize that her hands were tied together at her back. There was something tied around her mouth too, between her lips.Oh, God! What should I do? Should I scream? Should I call someone? Where am I? How I reached here? Did I have an accident?She was trying to remember when the door creaked open and someone stepped in. She hurriedly closed her eyes when a voice shouted nearby.“She still hasn’t got back her consciousness. How much chloroform did you apply to that cloth you arsehole!”“Yeah! So what? Chief said th
“Noah. You must go home. I am staying here in the forests.” Ezequiel was standing beside the tree staring at God knows what. There was this fading Vanilla scent of his mate around him. He did not want to go back home without her.“I am staying Ezequiel. I am not going home without her either.” Noah answered stubbornly.Ezequiel did not argue. His men were all there waiting for his next orders. The more they were getting deep into the forest, the more the scent was becoming lighter.“Either they have taken her downwind to avoid the wind carrying her smell to our noses or they must have applied that special deodorant to suppress it.” William told to no one in particular.“Let’s spread in the forest.” Ezequiel turned to them. “Don’t leave any tree, plant, branch, or even a grass blade. There must be old, under constructed huts and houses. Go through them. No matter if there is family inv
