~Liam's POV~ I turned off the shower with a pile of thoughts lying in my mind and sighed while placing my hands on the wall in front of me. I tried my best to find what was wrong with Hazel and her wolf, but there was nothing in any book that could describe her situation. At least not in those books. I might need to dig up more into our historical books or... Maybe I need to talk to elders who have been on the earth for more than a century. "And you know Victoria's grandfather is the best person for this. He has been here for one hundred and sixteen years," Leo said.Yup, he is. And I am glad I am going to his place tonight. At least I would be able to know something from him about this. I walked out of the room after wrapping a towel around my waist and saw Hazel sitting on the couch. "What happened on your first shift? I mean on your eighteenth birthday, " I asked. She jumped as my voice reached her ears and her phone dropped to her lap. Her eyes moved down my body, an
~Hazel's POV~ "Calm down, Haze..." "Calm down? How could you even ask me that?" I snapped at Scarlett. Were these the only words she could think of at this moment? "I know it's hard, but I think you should give your body, mind, and legs some rest. You have been pacing in the room ever since you called me, and let me remind you it has been over twenty minutes," She sighed. "I know it is, but... How am I supposed to calm down when I know that my... MY fated mate is going to have a wonderful sexy night with all of his chicks around him. He... He..." I broke thinking about all the pain I would be experiencing in some time and sat on the couch with tears pooling in my eyes. I know we are not together... I know we didn't complete our mating or marking, but still, we did it once. I... I still have a connection with him which makes me go down on my knees thinking about how he is going to be a man whore tonight. "It shouldn't be happening... None of this was supposed to happe
~Liam's POV~ Last night was a total waste. I thought I would get some answers but there were none... Except for Vic trying to get close to me, there was nothing else in the party. I couldn't even find out anything from Vic's grandfather as he was not in the pack. Guess the old man is busy on the island living his dead fantasies. "Yup, I can't imagine the old man is living a better life than us. An island... But at least you saved the night from being a disaster," Leo said in my mind. I blew a breath of relief as I parked my car in the garage and sighed; I am glad I did. The urge to get all freaky with Natalia, one of my exes, was so strong that I almost thought I would bring my image down in front of dozens of alpha and pack. I was close to having a boner when she glided her hand on my fitted black shirt and her hand reached my belt. If it wasn't for Hazel's face flashing in front of my eyes, I would have got a boner and every single friend of mine present in that room woul
~Hazel's POV~ I can't believe he tried to play with me again... It was not even twenty-four hours since I was back in this pathetic pack but here people already started chasing me. Be it all the bullies or my disgusting mate, all of them are back on their shitty behavior. What the hell does he think of me? I am not the same toy with which he played once and threw when he was over it. I wanted to slap him hard... Our closeness was already too much for me to handle and he made it worse when he kissed my neck. Though the soft touch of his lips sent shivers through my body, still I hated the fact that I was close to the man who rejected me because I was a lone were without a wolf. I was on the verge of giving up on his touch, but when the same words, only with some decency, came out from his mouth, my ass was dragged back into reality. He wanted to do all of that stuff with me but without loving me... He is still the same! He is the same monster I met that night! Nothing has
~Hazel's POV~ "Where are we going?" I asked Scarlett who was dragging me somewhere deep into the woods. "Sush. Just walk," She hushed me and kept dragging me somewhere. After a silence of 2 minutes and fast walking, we reached a place that was covered with dense trees, and I sighed; it was a creepy place. "It's creepy," I whispered while looking everywhere around me. "No, it's not," She smiled at me and started to clear out the leaves from the wall. What the heck? Is that a cave? A cave behind a thick sheet of leaves? "Scarlett, it's... A cave?" I asked. "Yup. It's Nick and my meeting spot. We even mated here," She giggled. "Spare the details, girl," I said while shaking my head and following her inside. My eyes widened as I walked inside, and I chuckled; they indeed made this place cosy to make their loving moments special and comfortable. While a mattress with two bedsheets over it was lying in the right corner of the cave, the other corner of the cave h
"What am I missing?" Nick asked. "Our alpha and your best friend is an asshole," Scarlett blurted out. "Babe. He is our alpha," Nick exclaimed while shaking his head. "Still a dick," Scarlett rolled her eyes. "Babe, you are going too far..." "Oh, so you choose him over me," She asked with a quirked brow. "Scarlett, what are you doing?" I asked. "Relax..." She took her attention back to her mate, who was looking at her with wide eyes, and he sighed, "Of course not. No one is above you for me but that doesn't mean I don't respect him. And I don't think you should disrespect him as well. You are the gamma female, baby." "I know... But-" I pinched her arm and she groaned, "Fine. I am sorry. But he is very arrogant sometimes. Even with his mate. "Tell me what he told you about Hazel," She asked and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Well, he is his best friend. I am sure his best friend would have told him how he dumped his mate's ass after mating with
~Hazel's POV~ I sprayed some scent suppressant on myself and sighed, I would need a lot of it since I would start training from today. I will sweat, and with sweat, there is a high chance that its effect will come off. But... How am I going to have so much scent suppressant? My baby is getting stronger with each day passing, so there is a high chance that his scent will also become stronger... And with me getting myself into learning fighting skills, I am sure it will wear off soon. How long Scarlett would be able to arrange it for me? And from where? Heck, I didn't even ask her where she got this suppressant. God... How careless am I being? I am agreeing to things that can expose my pregnancy and putting Scarlett in a zone where she has to lie to her mate and God knows how many people to gather scent suppressant for me. My phone started to ring and I went back into the room. I saw it was Scarlett and picked it up, "Come on, where are you, Haze? We are waiting for you."
~Hazel's POV~ "I thought you said WE are waiting for you," I said to Scarlett, who was standing carelessly against a tree. She jumped at my sudden voice and placed her hand on her chest while taking some deep breaths, "You cannot sneak up on me like that." I quirked my brow at her, "Where is Nick?" "Whoa, what happened to you? Why are you so... pissed off?" She asked. "Victoria happened and then Liam happened! I was..." I looked around me to confirm if anyone was near us or not and stood beside Scarlett, "I hate it! I hate that bitch! She always tries to claim her right on him when she and we both know that she can't! Why she just doesn't back off? And the audacity... I fucking wanted to rip her tongue when she called me a bitch and liar." "I get why she was calling you a bitch but liar? Why?" She asked. "You know that Smantha issue and... Wait... She said Liam took a stand against four people from his pack. Who are the other three?" I only told them about Samantha. I
*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
