Alpha's Dilemma : Claiming My Golden Wolf Luna CHAPTER 57
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

HAZEL "Third complaint this month, Hazel. Third!" Bob slammed his hands on his desk. "And this time you actually hit a customer?" I sank into the chair opposite him and smiled as I recalled the satisfying moment of slapping that creep who wouldn’t keep his hands to himself. It felt good to fight back, even if I knew it only added to my troubles. But I should have known better by now. Standing up for myself never ended well - it just gave everyone another excuse to remind me how different I was, how I didn't fit in. These reminders came daily. In the stares of strangers, in the whispered conversations they thought I couldn't hear, in the way people either avoided me entirely or got too close for comfort. My crime? Being born with hair and eyes of pure Gold. Not the fake bottle blonde or amber that you might assume, but actual metallic gold. The doctors called it a genetic anomaly. The kids at school called me a freak. I just called it my curse. And tonight, that curse had cos

HAZELThe "Welcome to Ravenville" sign emerged from the darkness, it's faded letters shone by the taxi's headlights. Eight years of running and here I was, crawling back to the one place my dad swore I never to return to.The cab driver hadn't said a word since I boarded, and I was grateful for the silence. No awkward questions about why a teenager was traveling alone at night, No suspicious glances at my strange golden eyes in his rearview mirror. Just the quiet sound of the engine and my thoughts for company.Until my phone buzzed, again.I sighed and glanced at the screen. Aunt Jenna's name flashed for what felt like the hundredth time."Hazel, this is insane! Answer me!""Do you have any idea how dangerous this is?""What about your father? Did you even tell him you're coming?"I switched the phone to silent and dropped it into my bag. She wasn't wrong about Dad – I hadn't told him I was coming. The plan was simple. find a motel, get settled, then figure out how to break the news

DARRYL "Darryl, you're gonna snap the steering wheel in half if you grip it any tighter." Katrina’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I blinked and eased my hands off the wheel slightly realizing how tightly I’d been holding it. I muttered, “Sorry,” but didn’t look at her. My mind was somewhere else—no, on someone else. The girl we just ran into. I didn’t want to think about her, I didn’t want to drag up memories I’d buried years ago. But the past always had a way of creeping up when you least expected it. Especially when the past stares you in the face. Hazel. The girl who left everything in ruins on a day that should’ve been perfect. My tenth birthday—one that turned my entire life upside down. It was supposed to be a day filled with laughter, plans, and promises. Hazel and I had spent weeks planning it. We were going to spend the whole day together, just like we used to. She had promised it would be unforgettable. And it was… just not in the way I expected.

HAZEL "You don't need to walk me in, Dad. I'm not eight anymore." I stood in the school parking lot, shifting my backpack on my shoulders while he gave me that worried look I'd seen a thousand times since coming back to Ravenville. Dad's hand went to the silver pendant around my neck, adjusting it for the tenth time this morning. "Just... promise me you'll keep this on. No matter what." "Yeah, yeah, your magic necklace. Got it." I rolled my eyes but touched the pendant anyway. It felt weirdly warm against my skin, like it always did. "Are you ever going to tell me why it's so important?" His face did that thing where it shut down completely. "Just keep it on. And Hazel? “ "What?" "Remember - two weeks. Two weeks is all you get. If thing's don't work out—-" "You'll ship me back to Aunt Jenna. Yeah, I got it." I didn't look back as I walked away, afraid he'd see how much that thought terrified me. Two weeks. Fourteen days to prove I belonged here, to make Darryl remember me

HAZELI stood there, my feet refusing to move even as my mind screamed at me to just get the hell out of there. Darryl's words kept echoing in my head. "You disgust me." Three words shouldn't have the power to destroy someone, but these did. My hands wouldn't stop shaking no matter how hard I tried to steady them, and the worst part was knowing I probably deserved every bit of this pain. After all, I was the one who had abandoned him all those years ago. I was the one who had broken our promise of an unforgettable birthday. My gaze drifted to the deep scratches in the wall where his hand had struck, and I tried to convince myself that they had been there before. There was no way a normal teenager could have left marks that deep in a solid wall. Not unless they had some kind of unnatural strength. As I stared at the marks, my feet finally started to cooperate, slowly carrying me away from this hallway. But the further I got, the more I realized just how silent everything was. I co

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

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

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
Alpha's Dilemma : Claiming My Golden Wolf Luna CHAPTER 53
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

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

HAZELThe mansion was incredible, all sweeping marble staircases and crystal chandeliers, like something out of a fairy tale. Music pulsed through the air as I slipped inside, trying to look like I belonged. The foyer was packed with people, all of them dressed far more elegantly than me in my simple sweater and jeans.I barely made it ten steps before a familiar voice cut through the noise."Hazel! You actually came!"Katrina came in front of me, looking gorgeous in a deep silver dress that seemed to catch every bit of light in the room. Her smile was dazzling, but something about it made my skin crawl."I wouldn't miss your invitation," I said, keeping my voice steady. "After all, you made such a point of giving it to me.""I was beginning to think you wouldn't show." Katrina stepped closer, her perfume overwhelming. "The party was getting so boring without you."Before I could react, she pulled me into a hug. I stiffened, caught off guard by the unexpected display of affection. Her
