Alpha's Dilemma : Claiming My Golden Wolf Luna CHAPTER 52
HAZEL"Let go of me!" I yanked my arm from Darryl's grip, but he only held on tighter, his eyes wild with an urgency I'd never seen before."Hazel, please," he begged and leaned in closer."You have no idea what's really happening here. We need to leave. Now.""No." I planted my feet firmly, meeting his gaze. "I'm tired of being kept in the dark. First my friends lock me up, and now you're acting like being at a party is somehow life-threatening. What aren't you telling me?"His eyes darted around the room, tracking movements I couldn't quite follow. "Hazel, please. I promise I'll explain everything, but right now we need to—""Explain everything?" I cut him off. "Like you explained why my dad suddenly hates you? Or why everyone in this town treats me like I'm made of glass? I'm done with half-truths and secrets!"He stepped closer and whispered. "You're right. You deserve the truth. I should have told you long ago about what I—about what we—""ATTENTION EVERYONE!" Katrina's voice boom

HAZEL The silence after the kiss was deafening. I sank back into my seat beside Lucian, my lips still burning, but not from the kiss- from shame. That growl I'd heard... it had come from Darryl. I glanced at him now, and my breath caught. His hands were clenched into tight fists at his sides, and for a moment, I could have sworn I saw something sharp protruding from his fingertips. I blinked, and it was gone. Must be the dim lighting playing tricks on my eyes."Well, wasn't that sweet?" Katrina's voice cut the silence. "Young love... or is it just desperation? Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference when someone's been abandoned so many times."I saw Darryl's shoulders tense."Now, where were we?" Katrina surveyed the room like a queen on her throne. "Oh yes, my turn."Bethany stepped forward. "Katrina, truth: What exactly happened between you and Darryl last summer at the lake house?"My stomach clenched unexpectedly as Katrina's lips curved into a smile. "Oh, that night?" She si

DARRYLMy claws threatened to break through as I watched Lucian kiss my mate. Shadow, my wolf, was in a frenzy, demanding retribution. That kiss wasn't just a dare – it held too much desperation, too much intensity. My fingers dug into my palms, drawing blood as I fought to maintain control.'OURS,' Shadow snarled within me. 'He dared touch what's OURS.'I could still smell Lucian's scent on her, could see the slight flush on her cheeks, and it was driving me insane. The metallic scent of my own blood helped ground me, but barely. Then Katrina's dare to Hazel cut through my rage like a knife.A swim. In her underwear.I almost laughed. If Katrina thought this would break Hazel, she didn't know her at all. My Hazel would never—The sound of clothes hitting the floor silenced every thought in my head.My heart stopped as Hazel turned around. The curves she'd always hidden under baggy clothes were now on full display, and my wolf went absolutely still. This wasn't the awkward teenage gir

HAZELMy lungs burned as I collapsed to my knees, the purple smoke thick around me. Each breath felt like swallowing fire, but beneath the pain, something else stirred like a familiar sensation I hadn't felt since losing my necklace.Power coursedthrough my veins like lightning.Strange whispers filled my head, echoing from somewhere below. They weren't words exactly, more like feelings, urging me to embrace whatever was awakening inside me. My skin tingled, every nerve ending alive with an energy I couldn't explain.Then the pain hit, not from the smoke, but from deep within. It felt like something was being torn away, like a piece of my soul was being ripped out. I doubled over, gasping, tears streaming down my face. Through the haze of agony, one thought crystallized: I had to get out.I forced myself to stand, swaying as the room spun around me. The smoke seemed to pulse now, almost alive, but instead of choking me, it felt like it was being absorbed into my skin. The whispers gre

HAZEL "What do you mean, you're not human?" My voice came out steadier than I felt.Darryl ran a hand through his hair, a gesture so familiar it almost made this surreal moment feel normal. "Not entirely, at least. I'm... different.""Different how?" I crossed my arms. "Stop being cryptic and just tell me straight."He took a deep breath, his eyes meeting mine with an intensity that made me shiver. "I'm a werewolf, Hazel."A laugh burst from my lips before I could stop it – sharp. "A werewolf? Really? That's what you're going with?""Think about it," he said quietly. "Everything you've seen. Everything that doesn't make sense."And suddenly, like pieces of a puzzle clicking into place, memories began flooding back. The day I returned to town – his eyes had been different, hadn't they? Not just older, but somehow altered from the warm brown I remembered from childhood. They had gleamed with something wild, something inhuman.Mr. Thompson's mythology lecture crashed into my thoughts ne

DARRYL The arrow burned in my back like fire, Wolfsbane. The poison spread through my veins, making my vision blur. I stumbled against a tree, my claws digging into the bark as I fought to stay conscious.Shadow thrashed inside me, our shared pain even amplified by the rejection bond we'd been forced to make. The words still echoed in my mind: "I reject you, Hazel LièRén..." But even through the rejection, I could feel her. The bond wasn't completely severed, it shouldn't be possible but I could sense her terror, her confusion and her pain. Something was wrong. Very wrong.My muscles screamed as I reached behind me, fingers wrapping around the arrow's shaft. With a growl, I yanked it out. Blood poured from the wound, but I could already feel my enhanced healing kicking in, knitting the flesh back together.The arrow clattered to the ground and the wolfsbane made my skin sizzle where it touched, but the poison was already being pushed out of my system. Perks of being an Alpha – we he

DARRYL I raced through the dark forest, Hazel's limp body lied against my chest. Her blood soaked through my shirt, each heartbeat pushing more life from the vicious bite wound on her neck. The healer's cabin wasn't far, but every second felt like torture as her skin grew colder.Elena's cabin appeared through the trees, warm light spilling from the windows. I didn't bother knocking, just kicked the door open with enough force to make it slam against the wall."Elena!" My voice echoed through the hallway. "I need help!"Elena emerged from her office immediately, her grey hair escaping its usual neat bun. One look at Hazel and her face hardened. "Exam room one. Now."I followed her into the room, laying Hazel on the examination table. The lights cast a harsh glow over her pale skin, making the bite wound look even more brutal."What happened?" Elena demanded, already cutting away the blood-soaked dress around the bite."Someone attacked her in the woods. A forced turning bite." My han

DARRYL “No, you're lying," I said, but my voice shook. "It can't be him."Katrina's smile grew wider. "Oh, but I saw him clearly. A massive wolf, bigger than any I've ever seen. His red fur almost looked black in the moonlight."I flinched at her description, my hands starting to shake."The way he moved was... different," she continued, clearly enjoying my reaction. "Like a predator playing with his prey. But you already know how he hunts, don't you, Darryl?"Stop it," I growled, but the sound came out weak and strangled. My chest felt too tight like each breath a struggle."I'm dead serious," Katrina's voice hardened. "I watched him hunt her down. The way he played with her, letting her think she could escape. That signature move when he struck..." She made a slashing motion with her hand. "Quick, brutal, efficient.”I shook my head violently, trying to clear it. Nothing made sense. My mind raced through every encounter I'd witnessed between Malachi and Hazel. All those times I'd c

HAZELWhy would Malachi save me? The notorious rogue alpha who had terrorized our pack for years, who had ruthlessly killed all of Darryl's previous girlfriends—why would he suddenly intervene?Our eyes locked, and something strange happened. A pull so powerful—tugged at my core. Before I could make sense of it, Lucian staggered to his feet, his face filled with rage."You!" he snarled at Malachi. "You dare interfere?"Malachi's massive black wolf form didn't flinch. He stood his ground, baring teeth that gleamed like ivory daggers in the moonlight. A low growl rumbled from his chest, and without warning, he lunged.The two wolves collided in a violent clash of fangs and claws. I watched in horror as they tore at each other, rolling across the forest floor in a blur of fur and blood. The air filled with snarls and the sound of flesh being ripped.Weakness washed over me, my legs trembling beneath me. I slumped against a nearby tree, unable to tear my eyes away from the brutal fight. L

HAZEL"You're a werewolf," Amy and I whispered in unison, the realization dawning on us simultaneously.Lucian's mouth curved into a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Very good, Hazel. I was wondering how long it would take you to figure it out."My mind raced through every conversation, every moment we'd spent together. The orphanage records, his comments about feeling abandoned, the Garrett family name in that book with the pack symbol. All the clues had been there, scattered like breadcrumbs, but I'd been too blind to see them."How?" I asked, finding my voice. "How could you be a werewolf and we never sensed it?"Amy moved closer to me, her fingers already extending into claws, ready to shift if necessary. I could feel her body tensing beside mine."I've had years to perfect hiding what I am," Lucian said, stepping further into the room. "Special herbs, certain techniques... you'd be surprised what you can learn when you're desperate enough."He moved toward the photographs on th

HAZEL POVI stood in front of the entire pack, my heart hammering against my ribs. Though Darryl had asked me to show them who I was, my powers felt frozen inside me, locked away by fear and uncertainty. The judgmental stares of the pack members only made it worse."I... I can't," I whispered, my voice shaking.Darryl moved behind me, his warm hand resting on my back. "You can," he murmured. "I'm right here." His touch sent warmth through my body, and suddenly I felt my power stirring.It started slowly at first – a gentle golden glow emanating from my skin. Then it grew stronger, brighter, until my entire body was illuminated. My blonde hair shimmered like spun gold, and I knew my eyes were glowing with an otherworldly light. Gasps echoed through the room as pack members leaned forward in their seats, their faces filled with awe.An elderly woman pushed through the crowd, her wizened face full of wonder. "By the moon goddess," she breathed. "A Golden Wolf. After all these centuries..

DARRYL POVThe morning sun felt different on my skin after weeks in that cell. Standing outside the prison with Hazel in my arms, I could barely process that I was finally free. But the weight of what I needed to tell her pressed against my chest like a stone."Hazel," I started, pulling back slightly to look into her eyes. "There's something you need to know about Lucian—""DARRYL!" The familiar voice cut through the moment. Lucian came bounding across the parking lot, his grin plastered across his face. Before I could react, he pulled me into a crushing hug that felt genuine—too genuine for someone who had orchestrated my imprisonment."Man, it's so good to see you out!" Lucian exclaimed, stepping back but keeping his hands on my shoulders. "We've been working non-stop to prove your innocence.""We sure have," Hazel agreed warmly. "Lucian was instrumental in helping us find the security footage."I fought to keep my expression neutral as my mind raced. The security footage that pro

HAZELI stood in my father's office at the police station. Amy squeezed my hand, a silent show of support as Officer Sarah reviewed our statement about finding the security footage.Jared paced behind his desk, his jaw clenched tight. "This footage is eight years old," he said, his voice clipped. "Even if it shows what you claim, it might not be admissible in court.""But it proves Darryl's innocence!" I shot back, my hands balling into fists. "You can't just ignore that!""Hazel," Sarah interjected gently, "your father is just trying to—""He's not my father." The words escaped before I could stop them. The room went deadly silent. Jared's face turned pale, then red with anger. Sarah looked between us in confusion."Hazel," Jared warned, his voice low and dangerous. "Now is not the time.""When is the time?" I demanded, taking a step forward. "When you're not busy trying to keep an innocent man in prison? When you're not injecting me with—" I caught myself just in time, aware of Sara

HAZELMy hands trembled as I connected the hard drive to Amy's laptop. We sat in her car, parked in a quiet corner of the mall parking lot, hearts racing with anticipation."Are you sure you want to watch this?" Amy asked softly. "We know it's going to be..." She didn't finish the sentence. She didn't have to.I nodded, double-clicking on the first video file. "We need to know exactly what it shows before we take it to the police."The footage was grainy, typical of security cameras from eight years ago. At first, there was nothing – just an empty park path lit by scattered lampposts. Then movement caught our attention. Two figures walked into frame, and my heart clenched. Gracia and Darryl, so young, so unaware of what was about to happen."There," Amy pointed at the screen. "Something's moving in the shadows."I leaned closer, squinting at the dark shape that seemed to come from nowhere. The attack happened so fast – one moment Darryl and Gracia were walking, the next Darryl was fly
Alpha's Dilemma : Claiming My Golden Wolf Luna CHAPTER 106
HAZELI banged my head against Amy's car dashboard for what felt like the hundredth time. The park meeting had gone exactly as we'd feared – complete disaster. My ears were still ringing with their mocking laughter."Well, that was humiliating," Amy muttered from the driver's seat, her knuckles white on the steering wheel. "Did you see the security guard face when we mentioned eight-year-old security footage?""Don't remind me." I groaned, remembering his patronizing smile. "'Oh, you sweet, naive girls,'" I mimicked his tone. "'Security footage from that long ago? Even if it existed, it would have been destroyed years ago.'""And the lady!" Amy hit her hand against the wheel. "She looked so annoyed. Like we were children playing detective."We sat in silence for a moment, parked outside the park where we'd just been thoroughly dismissed."We're idiots," I finally said, staring at the ceiling of Amy's car. "What were we thinking? Eight years. Eight years! Of course no one would keep se

HAZELI paced nervously in Art room later that day, trying to figure out how to explain everything to Lucian without revealing the supernatural truth. He sat on a desk chair, arms crossed, clearly frustrated at being left out earlier."So," he said, his voice carefully neutral, "are you finally going to tell me what Maria said after you sent me away?"I exchanged a quick glance with Amy, who was perched on her bed. We had carefully rehearsed our edited version of events."Maria witnessed what happened the night Gracia died," I began slowly. "She followed her sister to the park because she was upset about a broken promise."Lucian leaned forward, his eyes intense. "And?""She saw Gracia and Darryl together," Amy continued. "They were attacked by someone... someone who seemed to know them. A man – large, incredibly strong. He….He attacked Darryl first, knocked him unconscious.""Then he killed Gracia while Darryl was out?" Lucian's voice was gentle, understanding how difficult this was
Alpha's Dilemma : Claiming My Golden Wolf Luna CHAPTER 104
HAZEL POVMy heart was pounding as I watched Maria struggle with her words. I knew what was coming - a truth about werewolves that we couldn't let Lucian hear. But how could we send him away without making Maria even more suspicious?Amy caught my eye, and I could see the same worry reflected there. We needed to act fast."Before you continue," I said gently to Maria, "maybe we should move somewhere more private? This hallway isn't exactly comfortable."Maria wrapped her arms around herself, looking smaller than ever. "I don't want to move. If I move, I might lose my courage."Lucian shifted closer, his presence both comforting and concerning. "We could at least find somewhere to sit properly. These floors are pretty hard."That's when Amy surprised me with her quick thinking. "Actually, Lucian, could you do us a huge favor? Maria's going to need some water, and probably something to eat. She's shaking."Lucian frowned, clearly reluctant to leave. "Can't one of you go?""You know wher
