~Hazel's POV~ I thought it was only four of us here from the Silver Moon pack but boy, I was so wrong. My mate already had fifteen of his people here surrounding the whole resort where Zoey was chilling, taking a sunbath not knowing that she was about to experience the worst. Liam booked the same resort for us as hers, but he was clever to book it under my name, as Zoey and her minions knew nothing about me. And now... I was sitting on the balcony, on the swinging chair, in a black tee and white shorts, and was sipping my strawberry smoothie and eating potato chips while gazing at Zoey, who was lying on the chair in a blue floral bikini, taking the last sun bath of her life. She had two men standing beside her who were keeping an eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, a group of... wait... One, two, three, four... Whoa, twenty men surrounded Zoey and they all panicked while looking around. Twenty men... She did a number to keep her safe. Judging by their protective postu
~Hazel's POV~ My hand was constantly circling my belly while several thoughts ran in my head like crazy. I have to tell Liam about our baby... How? I still haven't figured it out. Reminiscing our sweet moments on the jet, I considered that it would be easy to tell him, and he might take the information lightly or maybe easily, but after talking to Scarlett, I'm not sure about doing the same. While Nick was gone to talk to Genevieve about our issue, Axel and Liam were together, or so we thought they were, but I just learned that Liam was out of his sight for thirty minutes; even Axel didn't know where he was. He asked Liam, but no answer was heard from him, which concerns all of us. We don't know where he was... What he was doing... Or with whom he was... Only the moon goddess and he knew what he had done in those thirty minutes. And now... I am not sure of my next steps anymore... Should I tell him now or should I wait a bit more? "What do you say, huh?" I asked my
~Liam's POV~ For once, after years in my life, I felt content and complete. Zoey was finally under my captivity and even though I couldn't feel the physical yet intangible effects of the mate bond with Hazel, still my heart was at peace and wanted more of Hazel every single second. I don't know what I should call it, but whatever it is, it makes me happy, giving me a wholesome feeling in my heart and mind after years. When my parents died, I knew nothing other than the mate bond would ever be able to make me feel loved and give me warmth in my life. It was the biggest reason that forced me to find my mate at the earliest and maybe... No... I did... I just don't remember her or recall any of our moments together. But the amazing part is, she does and she is not willing to give up, no matter how long it takes. Her confidence in this messy situation and in healing me without giving me any pain ensures me that she is the one. And mate bond or not... I don't regret falling for
~Third Person's POV~ Excitement, nervousness, happiness... All was floating in Hazel's heart at the same time. The life she longed to have with her mate was right in front of her and about to come true, making her believe in the mate bond and moon goddess once again. She wasn't sure of what Liam was up to with his talk with Henry, but she was happy that he was making efforts to know about her and her wolf; and deep down inside her, she wished to know what was wrong with her and what she could do to make it right. Everything between Liam and her happened out of the blue and she never had any chance to surprise him with anything. Today, she wanted to tell him about the baby in the most romanticly surprising way. "I'm making all the arrangements for it but are you sure about that? Liam won't be mad right?" She asked Scarlett, Nick, and Axel over the video call. Axel shook his head, "No, he won't be. After losing his family, he wanted his own family at the earliest. He will b
~Liam's POV~ I need to know more about Hazel's family. Who were they, what did they do, when they became a part of my pack... I want to know every single thing about them. I'm sure Hazel would have never pissed off any witch on her own... If her wolf is trapped then it might have something to do with her parents. Or if it's locked... Then I'm damn sure Hazel is special. So special that her parents wanted her safe and away from attention. I wanted to go back to her badly but before that, I needed to talk to Axel and Nick. I don't think Hazel knows much about her parents. She lost them when she was ten so I bet she hardly knows anything suspicious about them. Only Axel and Nick would be able to find out about this. I dialed Nick's number, considering Scarlett must be with him and she may have ever heard or seen something different about Adam family. "Hey, how come you remember me on your best and first trip with your mate?" Nick chuckled. "Because I want you to do some
~Liam's POV~ I am still not able to understand how she was pregnant and why the fuck I couldn't notice it earlier? She was living with me for days... She was in front of me almost day and night... Why the fuck didn't I see it before? "It's... It's been five months... I conceived our baby on our first mating..." She whispered with a small smile on her face while caressing her belly. Five months... She has been carrying a child for five months and nobody noticed? Not even my pack or... "Does Scarlett know?" I asked. She slowly nodded her head, and I sighed; of course, she knew. Why would they spend all the time in only a room? But... How's that possible? Five months...? Werewolf pregnancy lasts for only three months... "This is not a joke, right? Because trust me if it is then-" "Why would I be joking around for such a big thing? I know it's big for you but it is the truth. This baby is ours," She said while taking my hand back to her belly. Ours... Her
~Hazel's POV~ My heart was filled with immense happiness by Liam's acceptance of our baby. I knew it would be difficult for him to accept at first, but his reaction... It caught me off guard and gave me top of the world happiness. Liam, our baby, and me... We will finally be living together as a family! Our very own family that we will build together! I took him to the couch and lit the candle on the cake, "I wanted to show you the scans but I don't have them here. But I will show each one of them when we reach home." "You don't know how badly I want to see them," He chuckled and pecked my lips. "Cut it... To new beginnings," I chirped while clapping my hands. "To new beginnings," He smiled and we both cut the cake together. He gave me a big chunk of the cake, and I moaned; I was dying to eat it ever since I received it. It looked so tasty with those white chocolate pieces over it that I wanted to have it right after receiving it. And the raspberry lemon parfait...
~Hazel's POV~I thought he would take it slow, just the way he did a few seconds ago but after giving kisses to our baby, he took off my dress in one go, threw it to the side, and gazed at me up and down. His eyes were dark with lust and hunger, and his chest moved up and down due to heavy breaths. "You are beautiful," He breathed while gliding his hands on my legs and moving his eyes all over my naked body. His eyes were glued to the thin fabric that was covering my lady part which made me hold my breath... This thin piece of fabric was the only bridge between us... He kissed my belly one more time and taking his lips lower while kissing all his way down to my lady part, he slowly took my panty off and growled, "You are freaking wet..." Wet? I was freaking dripping! "For you..." I breathed. His dark eyes met mine while a smirk lingered on his face. Making sure that his gaze was glued to mine, he moved down to my lady part and kissed it, which made me moan, and I thre
*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
