~Hazel's POV~ "You know I don't want to overdo it..." I sighed while gazing at the dress and tons of makeup lying on the table. "And it's not too much... Just trust me like you always do, and everything gonna be fine..." Scarlett chirped happily. "If you are going to spend all your time dolling me up, then when are you going to get ready? This party is about you more than me," I replied while shaking my head. "Oh, you know I am a pro at this... And this party is about all of us. Nora, you, your baby, and me... This is for all of us," She winked at me and made me sit on the chair. I sat on the chair with a sigh coming out of my mouth and closed my eyes. Ever since Liam told me he would be arranging a party in our honor, I couldn't help but despise the idea of being at a party. History has proved over and again that whenever I attended any party, it turned into a disaster, and last time, it turned my life upside down. I get chills every time I think of attending any part
~Hazel's POV~The moment Scarlett opened the door to leave, I saw Liam standing in the room, dressed in a black tux with an olive green shirt under the blazer, in the same tone as my dress. "She already told you to color coordinate," I laughed. "You look gorgeous..." He whispered, his voice getting heavy and his eyes getting dark. Well, I can't deny this but Liam... He looks so... I guess I will go with a horny term... Eat able. His blazer fit him so perfectly, that his muscles seemed to pop out. His wavy brown hair was styled in a very messy yet classy way while his beard was trimmed, making him look like a Greek God. Goddess... Why does he have to look so perfect at this moment? Only the sight of him was turning me on. If he touched me THAT WAY by any chance, I would get wet in just a snap. "I feel like we can skip the party," He said in a deep voice, which sent a shiver down my spine in a very sexy way. "As if we could..." I whispered while looking into his deep b
~Hazel's POV~ For the first time in months in between all the wolves of the Silver Moon clan, I was feeling good and not so much cautious of myself. Call it the effect of standing with the alpha of the pack or people just... Minding their own business for once, but whatever it was, I genuinely felt that I was not being judged by these people. I had that same fear and anxiousness when I was descending the stairs and tugging on Liam's arm like my life was at stake. I was so equipped with my past experiences that when I saw people smiling at me and praising how I looked, I couldn't believe it and kept staring at them as if they grew horns. It took me a while to register that all of it was true, and they actually smiled while looking at me instead of loathing my presence around them. That's something new and for sure it would take me time to accept the new change which was quite no... Absolutely good. Liam also introduced me to some alphas and Lunas who were his very old alliances,
~Liam's POV~ I left her a couple of messages stating that no matter what happened to her, I am still standing by her side like always and would really love to have her at my place for the special celebration of my baby. I didn't think she would come at first as she didn't respond to any of my calls, but when I saw her crossing the doorway in a royal blue dress, a smile appeared on my lips, and I walked to the door to welcome her. "I thought you wouldn't come," I smiled. "Didn't want to, but as I always said, I will never let you down," Victoria smiled, and I hugged her. "Though I still don't know the purpose of my visit," She sighed. "Enjoyment? What else it could be," I chuckled. "I don't think so..." She said while playing with her earnings and pointed to my left. Damn it... Her eyes... I am so dead... "Just make yourself comfortable. I'll see you in a bit," I hurriedly said and left to see my mate, who was shooting daggers at me through her gorgeous brown eye
~Liam's POV~ The thought of people sensing Hazel's aura didn't cross my mind even for once. If I had the slightest idea of how her blood would react when mixed with mine, I would have never done it. I wanted to believe that whatever Axel said wouldn't be that powerful but I couldn't deny it when Mr Haywood mind linked me and said the same thing as Axel, only his words sounded way worse than Axel's. "Leave the teens; adults of the pack knew that Hazel's parents were alphas. It shouldn't make a big deal," I said to Mr Haywood in the mind link, trying to find relief in any way. "They knew but when Hazel didn't shift into her wolf, everyone believed she didn't get any of her parent's alpha genes and was just a human with a bit of improved senses. She isn't supposed to have such a strong aura as per Ivy's words. Now, with her blood mixed with yours, which makes her more connected to the pack on a deeper level, everyone can sense she is a strong and true alpha female without any do
~Liam's POV~ "By the way, where is your best friend? I can't see her anywhere," Hazel asked. "Baby... Don't be so harsh with her," I sighed. I don't want Hazel and Victoria to go along with each other if they don't want but at least they can respect the fact that they both have their different and special place in my life. One is my best friend and the other one is my whole life and reason to live. It would be fucking amazing if they can bond and become friends but if not, at least they can respect each other feelings. I wouldn't want anything more than that. "Not with her but with you... You have a long night Mr. Wright," She chuckled. "I am sure I do. I was waiting for the night ever since I laid my eyes on you," I whispered in her ear and kissed her bare shoulder, making her shudder and hold my hands tightly. "Don't do this in between so many people," She whispered so low that if I hadn't had super hearing, I wouldn't have heard her at all. "Okay, sweetheart," I chuckled
~Liam's POV~ "Are you fucking out of your mind?" I growled loudly while grabbing Derek by his neck. How dare he take my aunt's name in this? "I... I... Alpha..." "He won't be able to speak if you will keep choking him like that. Stop it, Liam, else he will be dead in a few seconds," Someone said while placing her hand on my shoulder, and I growled, who the fuck was that! "Liam... Calm down," Victoria said while taking a few steps back. "What are you doing here?" Leo and I growled together. She wasn't supposed to be here... It's my pack's dungeon not a fucking garden where anyone can walk whenever they want... "Alpha Liam, calm down... I just saw you coming here in so much rage that I thought you would do something that you regret later that's why I came here... And I was indeed right..." She answered and pointed at Derek who was catching his breath. "You made your point. Now, before I do anything else, leave, Victoria. Go back into the packhouse," I sternly said
~Liam's POV~ "The party is over... For guests, pack members, and especially for you," I said while glaring at Ethan and Charlotte and pulling a chair for myself in front of them. The moment I saw Charlotte, I thought she would cry and explain to her son why he had to bear the consequences of her actions, but she didn't do any of it. She just kept looking at me with dull red, puffy eyes and followed my every single word like a lost puppy, whereas Ethan stood at a distance from her with no such emotions on his face, which was quite odd for me because he was either always angry or happy. It was hard to catch him without any emotions on his face, but today, he was different from all those days that I had seen. He didn't even look bothered or affected by the harsh words that I used with his mate. "Do you want me to come straight to the part where you betrayed your own pack, nephew, and brother or do you have something else to add to the list?" I snapped at Charlotte. "What do you me
*One year later* ~Liam's POV~ Last year and Christmas were the craziest of all that I ever had in my life. I found my mate, got rid of the problem which my parents fought hard for years, and had my baby... No babies to be precise. Dylan, Kol, and Rosyln... Dylan turned one today whereas Kol and Rosyln, my little sweetpeas completed 3 months a few days back. Living with a human trait Hazel was patient, slow, and loving... But living with a werewolf Hazel was a whole different level of craziness that was adventurous, wild, and oh god... Way too intense. I always admired the beauty she was, doesn't matter whether with clothes or without, outside or inside, but the way she turned the tables after becoming one with her wolf, was commendable. Especially in bed. Sometimes she can be the shy Hazel she used to be but sometimes she overpowers me which I enjoy a lot. I never thought I would take commands from anyone but she was the only woman who could use that voice on me withou
~Hazel's POV~ I haven't been so relieved in my life before. Everything seemed perfect for the first time in my life. My baby was finally in my arms, softly snoring on my bare chest while his tiny fingers were on my neck. He was giving me the comfort that I needed most this time. The touch of his tiny bare body against mine was the most beautiful and calmest feeling that I have ever had in my life and the movements of his chest with each breath that he took relaxed my heart and mind so much that I know I will keep holding my baby like that for hours. I longed for this moment for so long... I was looking forward to the day when I would finally hold him without any barriers between us. Be it the barrier of him being inside me or all the exteriors barriers that we had till now. Today... Finally... Finally, all of those barriers were not between us anymore and I could happily be with him without any tension in my mind. I don't have to worry about someone attacking us from somewh
~Hazel's POV~Hudson kept looking back at Charlotte while Victoria dragged his ass out of our sight and for the first time, I saw tears in Hudson's eyes. I don't care about him feeling bad... He has put Charlotte in a worse place than he was in right now.Liam and I took our attention back to Charlotte, who took a deep breath, "For a month, I thought my brother and his mate, I mean your parents, died in a car accident, but later on, I learned it was a rogue attack. That night... That night I heard Ethan talking over the call with someone. I couldn't hear what the other person was saying but I heard every single word that came out of Ethan's mouth. He was praising his brother's skills. He was praising his brother for moving Nathaniel's car towards the cliff. Arthur was the one who forced Nathaniel to turn his car towards the cliff but it was Ethan who pushed Nathaneil's car into the cliff." Tears rolled down her cheeks while she sought support from Liam and I took her hand in mine. I
~Hazel's POV~ I have seen a ton of crazy things happening in this pack ever since I turned eighteen but this... This was... Insane? I don't even know what to call it... Charlotte killed Ethan... Charlotte... Not Liam but Charlotte! Charlotte shot him straight four times in the chest, one time on the head, and one time on the neck, exactly where the mark given by her was sitting on his neck. Goddess... I never thought I would see a mate killing her better half or a mate choosing someone else over his mate and betraying her for others. This was actually insane... He hurt her so badly that even after being bonded with him, she gathered the courage to end his life. Not that Ethan didn't deserve to die but I didn't imagine this happening... Hudson reached his mother with wide eyes and placed his hand on her shoulder but she took his hand away and gazed at him, "Leave, Hudson... Leave with your mate before I kill you as well..." That's... Bold for a mother to say... Hudson looked at
(Trigger Warning- Violent fight)~Liam's POV~ I thought I had enough betrayals when Ethan confessed everything but that wasn't all. Victoria had to be a part of all this! All these months, I kept telling Hazel how wrong she was about Victoria, not knowing that she was the one who was right about her, not me. It was me who thought that she was a true friend to me, not a snake. I was way too happy when I saw her taking Sophia down but the moment Arthur said a few words about her, my faith in friendship also fell apart. I don't think I would ever be able to trust anyone again... Family or friends... My trust has been broken repeatedly, I would freaking never be able to put my faith in anyone but Hazel. My blood was boiling and all I could see were the red dots in front of my eyes. I was craving blood... My mind was looking to kill and today... I won't stop until Ethan is dead. I planned to capture the killer of my parents and give him a hard life filled with torture but I don't
~Hazel's POV~ What the heck? Victoria out of all people? How... I mean just... How? It's not that I am not happy for her tearing Sophia apart at the right time but why did she come here? Oh god... My petty jealousy issues! Liam was still her friend... Of course, she would have come here to visit him or she must have heard about the attack. Victoria threw Sophia on the ground while her gaze was still fixed on Ethan. She was snarling at Ethan way too aggressively which... Kind of gave me a doubt that I couldn't figure out. She looked furious... She was furious all the time like... Like the same way I was... Wait, don't tell me she was doing this all to impress Liam. "I better hope she wasn't," Hope, my wolf said. "I was never so happy to see you before, Vic," Liam said. The bright smile on his face while praising Victoria made my blood boil, and Hope growled in a low voice, but I shut my eyes. I need to calm down... This was not a situation to be jealous of, especial
~Hazel's POV~Ethan brought his attention back to Liam and chuckled, "I just wanted to kill you and your father, so I could take over the pack, but damn, my good luck; Peter joined the pack with his family at the right time. I didn't have to go on a hunt for silver wolves as the last set of silver wolves already arrived here. But those dead wolves... They locked her wolf and made my task more difficult than before." Dead wolves... My parents? "I swear I will not think twice if you talk about my parents like that again!" I growled at Ethan in the mind link. "You will not think twice, but thrice," Ethan laughed and pointed at my pack members. "Tell everyone to leave..." I told Axel in the mind link. We can't fight them if they would keep threatening us like this. He had done enough damage, I can't let him ruin us more. "Axel, Nick, Scarlett... Leave..." "No, way. We aren't leaving!" Scarlett said in the mind link. "I don't want them to blackmail us with your pres
~Hazel's POV~Murmurs from the pack members started reaching our ears and I sighed as the realization drew up on me. He was the one who made Charlotte kill Zoey, Zoey took that box away on his command to know what our parents were hiding, he set that invisible man's body on fire, and he was the one who placed hidden cameras in Lexi's house. He is such a bastard! But why didn't Charlotte note all these things? Why did she never doubt his actions? She was the only one who was around him then why? Or maybe my wolf was right. Maybe she was also a part of this... "You made her kill Zoey?" Liam asked Ethan. Ethan nodded his head, "Zoey did everything on my command. I had to take her out of my way before she became a threat to me. I didn't want to risk my identity before she had become one with her wolf." "Why the heck did you stage all of that? Why did you make us believe that Hudson was the only one stabbing Liam in the back by making Hudson attack you?" Axel asked. "Wasn't
~Hazel's POV~ What the fuck is wrong with him? Does that mean Liam was right all along? Was he the insider who was giving all the pack information to our enemies? How could he do that? How could he hold his mate hostage? "Or what if she is also involved with him? This whole pack is filled with deceivers," Hope, my wolf, said with a growl coming out of her mouth. I can't agree more but... The way I am looking at Charlotte tells me otherwise. Tears were running down her face while her wide open, mirroring the betrayal that we all were feeling right now. Her lips were shivering and her hair... Ethan was holding her by the hair. Oh god... How can he be such a monster to her? She is his freaking mate! Partners in crime or not but this... And if she is involved with him as well, then I have to give her a standing ovation before killing her. They freaking both played Liam for years! "Charlotte..." I tried to mind-link and she looked at me with horrifying eyes. "Don't... He
