~Liam's POV~Ethan? What the heck happened to him? I was quick to reach where Lexi was and the moment my eyes fell on Ethan, they widened even in my wolf form. He was lying naked in a blood pool... His left shoulder had a deep cut while his legs and waist had bite marks, clearly showing that it was a werewolf who did this to him. His head was all red, and his eyes and lips had a lot of scratches. His palm was twisted and his foot... It looked broken. Who the heck hurt him so badly?Ethan is an alpha with amazing fighting skills. No one from the pack was able to take him down in any of the training but my father and me. So... Who it was? Who hurt him so badly? "Ethan!" I heard my aunt's painful scream and my heart started to ache. The pain in her voice was so much that it broke my heart without even glancing at her. Ethan was the only one who was keeping her sane if anything happened to him... No... Nothing should happen to him. She came running to the front, tears running
~Liam's POV~ "What the fuck are you talking about? How did Hudson get out of his cell?" I asked Axel with a growl coming out of my mouth. He ran to me with his iPad in his hand and turned the screen towards me, "Everyone was so mesmerized by Lexi's shift that they thought it was no harm to leave their places for a few minutes. That's when Ethan went in and got him out but he didn't know Hudson would leave them behind damaged and broken..." My eyes were glued to the screen of his iPad and with every single movement happening in it, my blood boiled. Ethan was way too cautious while making his run to the dungeon. He ran into the dungeon the moment he saw every warrior leaving the dungeon. I don't know how he unlocked his cell but I am sure my aunt must know this. After all, she is a pro at dismantling locks. He quickly started to unlock his cell with something and said a quite few things to him that raged me to the core. "Let's get out of here. Your mom is waiting for us
~Hazel's POV~ 'His big hands were rough against my soft cheeks, but that didn't matter to me... All that mattered to me was him... Us... I tried to have one good look at him, but the darkness around us didn't allow me to get his one look. I know who is... What he is to me... He doesn't need to tell... The bond between us is enough to tell my brain, heart, and body that he is my mate... My man... I placed my hand on the back of his hand, which made tingles erupt on our skin, and slowly and steadily, I took my hand from his hand to his arms and then to his shoulder. I slowly took my hand to his face-' "What the heck is wrong with you, loser? That wasn't supposed to be there!" Damn, his sharp voice will make my ear bleed! I looked at Phillip, who was glaring at me with his sharp grey eyes and sighed. This man would never let me take a breath in peace. If it wasn't for him paying me for the work I do, I would have used the same words and voice on him that he uses on me ev
~Hazel's POV~ I knew coming here was a very bad decision... Oh goddess, why do I always end up listening to Scarlett? Firstly, I shouldn't be in a place filled with all the werewolves of our pack, and secondly, this dress... This dress was so fitted that people were giving me uncomfortable and awkward glances. I don't know what they were thinking of me. Though the dress was till my calves, still everyone around me was giving me glances because of the fit of this dress. It was a black bodycon tulle dress with some brown patterns on it and the thinnest straps on the shoulder with a deep back. Though my dirty blonde hair was open, still I could feel people's penetrating gaze on my back. "Hey," Scarlett said while walking towards me with two glasses of red wine. I sighed after seeing the glasses in her hands and shook my head, I can't drink. Not in a big party like this. People already treat me like shit I don't know what they would do to me if they found out I was drunk a
~Hazel's POV~ "After seeing you lose your ability to form a single word, I can bet that you don't know who your alpha is. Right, sweetheart?" My alpha or I should say my mate, said. I tightened my arms around his neck and hid my face in his chest which made him chuckle softly while I blushed. Goddess, I had never been so embarrassed in my life before. I was staying in a werewolf pack, which was led by an alpha, but still, I didn't know how my alpha looked! "I didn't know I was that resistible," He chuckled. Our eyes locked with each other and I felt everything around me getting blurred. It was only his eyes that held my focus and everything except that... Started to fade away. "I promise it will be the best day of our life," He softly said and kissed my head. My back was gently placed against a soft mattress, and that's when I realized that we were not on the streets anymore; we were in a room. In a luxurious room. "Where are we?" I asked while looking around me.
***4 Months later*** ~Hazel's POV~ "Order of table number four is ready." "Coming," I said and went to the counter to take the food. I took the tray filled with spaghetti, alfredo pasta, pizza, and a spinach sandwich and sighed; I hate the guys who are sitting at table number four. They not only disgust me with their filthy smirks and looks but also try to call me names. I wish I could kick their butts out of this restaurant. But as usual, nobody wants to get on a bad term with their high-paying daily customer. I can easily take them down as they are humans but I don't want to attract more trouble in my life. At least now I am at some peace with humans around me, I don't want to ruin it because of some jerks. I took a deep breath and went to their table with a small fake smile on my lips. Their eyes twinkled with excitement as they saw me approaching their table, and I refrained from rolling my eyes. Jerks. "Your order sir," I smiled and placed the tray on their ta
~Hazel's POV~ Am I dreaming again, or he is really in front of me? No... I can't be daydreaming again...Those daydreams stopped the very next day he rejected me... My daydreams were turned into nightmares after that one night...He rejected me... Why the fuck he is here after rejecting me? Even if I didn't want to, my eyes still found their way to his handsome face, and my heart skipped a beat. He looks as handsome as that night between us. Dressed in a navy blue suit with a black shirt under it, I could see how muscular he was. His muscles were hugging the suit so perfectly that it looked like he was wearing a tight blazer. His rectangle-shaped jaw was sharp with a trimmed beard which made his thin pink lips look beautiful. My eyes moved up to his eyes, and I gulped; he was looking at me... He was looking at me the same way he looked at me the first time we met on the streets. His mint scent started dancing over my head, and everything that happened between us started floodi
~Liam's POV~ I thought that if I stayed in the city, away from my pack for a few days then my aunt would stop bugging me for the same old thing. But I was wrong... I guess, now she loves keeping her nose in my personal life. The continuous rings of my phone irked me so much that I switched off the phone and gave all of my attention to my colleagues sitting in front of me. At least now she won't be able to call me about the same thing. "So what do you suggest, Mr Wirght? Should we start the project with Cohens or not?" My colleague, Mr Jones asked me. "In my opinion, we should wait a little. Their last project failed miserably and now they have taken big investments from Smiths. Let's see what's the result of that investment and project and then will come to a decision," I said. Others nodded their head in agreement with my words and I saw a waitress coming towards us with a tray filled with food in her hands. She isn't the one who came to serve wine to us... T

His left shoulder had a deep cut while his legs and waist had bite marks, clearly showing that it was a werewolf who did this to him.

~Third Person's POV~Two hours of suffering, endless screams and growls, and cracking of the bones, it all echoed in front of the Silver Moon packhouse, and every single wolf witnessing Lexi's first shift showed excitement and empathy toward the young wolf shifting in front of their eyes. The fur started to appear on Lexi's body after twenty minutes of her shift, still, it wasn't thick enough to cover her whole body. The slow and steady process made every bone in her body crack so badly that all Lexi could think about was being a witch. Painless and fun. And this all was far different from fun...While trying to be strong and hold her ground, Lexi was trying her best not to let her mind wander and put all her focus and strength on the shift, but her mother's warm smile and the memory of them both watering plants in their garden kept flashing in her mind. "Mom!" Lexi yelled in pain. Her voice was filled with so much pain that it made a lot of people teary including Hazel. Hazel grip
~Hazel's POV~ The whole pack seemed to be enjoying the little moment that we were spending as a whole. With barbecues placed at every corner and a speaker placed at the corner, giving everyone the music they loved, everyone in the pack enjoyed the moment eating and dancing wholeheartedly. I didn't know Liam could cook until today. He took charge of our barbecue's first round and boy, he did wonders with sausages, chicken, and steak. The kids from the pack specially asked him to make more steaks for them and to my surprise, Liam did this with a bright smile on his face. I knew he was kind and always looking after his pack, but the way he obliged the demands of kids in an instant melted my heart, and I wanted nothing more than to see him with our baby. "You look so smiley and so so sooooo happy," Lexi said while taking her seat beside me. I nodded my head, "I am... You know... When I left the pack, my life was so tough and it felt like I was living in hell. When I came back,
~Hazel's POV~ I should often go on girls' day out. Unlike our girls' night, our day out wasn't ruined, and we spent one entire day like normal girls out there, without worrying about anyone coming for our heads or the world falling apart. From having a picnic by the pond surrounded by beautiful flowers in our pack and taking hair spa and head massage, I spent an amazing day with my girls. It was the most normal and happy day that I have ever lived in my life. And the best part was that Nora and Scarlett were able to calm Lexi's wild thoughts about her first shift and she became more ready and open to it than before. I have seen people shifting into their wolves for the first time quite a couple of times, so I know it's going to be painful and long, but when it is done, it will be the most beautiful feeling that she will ever experience in her life. The way Nora and Scarlett explained the beauty of becoming one with our wolves makes me want to unlock my wolf more and live
~Liam's POV~ I fucking knew it! I knew she couldn't do it on her own! I knew something beyond our capabilities was wrong with her the moment she started giving me theories about her actions that didn't make any sense to me. And now after hearing how she felt at that moment, I somehow knew she was enchanted the same way Derek and I were. "But the question is who did this..." Hazel said while sitting beside Charlotte and putting a cushion behind her neck. She wasn't with anyone else but Ethan... Ethan was always around her and... He was around the whole time Adams and Haywoods were in the pack... Could it be him? Was he the one... Involved with Zoey? "Ethan..." I whispered while thinking about all the possibilities of him being involved in this. "What? Why would he?" Hazel asked. "Because... He knows no matter what, I won't hurt Charlotte," I sighed. But then how come Ethan and Charlotte were in disagreement? He knew I wouldn't hurt her so he could have convinced
~Liam's POV~ "And?" I asked as she took a long pause. "And... I don't know. I just... I just remember the next thing I did was to grab every single drop of wolfbane and silver that I had stored and go straight to her. Trust me, I told her to apologize and stay shut, but she kept saying things that enraged me to hell, and I just..." "Killed her...?" I asked with a sigh coming out of my mouth. "I'm so so sorry, Liam..." She whispered with tears coming out of her eyes. "So there was nothing else? You just killed her because of her some stupid words that she wasn't capable of turning true? No past strings or connections that forced you to do this?" I confirmed. "Yes. We had nothing to do with each other in the past. I never even liked her," She sighed while bobbing her head. "Why? Why didn't you like her?" I further asked. "She always had this thing for Ethan... The way she used to look at him when he was always telling her to stay away and giving him sultry looks... Th
~Liam's POV~ Countless times I had breakfast with Charlotte but it was never unsettling like the one we were having today. She couldn't see me in the eyes nor she could speak to me about anything. The first thing that I expected from her was a plea for her and her mate to see their son but there was none. She was... Numb... Just sitting like a robot in front of me and doing exactly as I was telling her. It looks like that life has been suck out of her. I thought that it was because I beat the shit out of Hudson to bring her back but today it was no different. She looked the same as yesterday... No, worse than yesterday which worries me more about her. The leaves were already mixed in her food and while she was sitting in front of me, eating her breakfast in a dead mood, I secretly hoped that whatever she said yesterday was true or she was forced to do this. I just want to hear that it wasn't her, not what I have been thinking about her involvement with Zoey. I don't want h
~Hazel's POV~ The lovemaking glow was evident on my face, which made me feel the prettiest that I have ever felt in my life. Pregnancy, along with such amazing lovemaking, was making me glow inside out, making me feel so beautiful for the first time in all these years. I chuckled at my thoughts and shook my head, I have been saying the same thing since tomorrow. Yesterday, it was makeup along with such glowing skin, but today, it was just my skin, which was forcing me to think that it wasn't only makeup that did wonders to me yesterday. It was also the love and care that I was getting from my mate and baby. "Mind sharing what is making you smile so big?" Liam asked while groping my butt and kissing my bare shoulder. His wet kiss made me shudder, and I giggled, "We just had intense lovemaking that was hot to another level. I won't mind going for I don't know which round but you have to promise you won't ask to leave..." "I wish I could... I promise I'll take you on a vacation
