~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
~Liam's POV~ ***The hopeful party had already begun and I was still out there crossing the streets to reach my packhouse. I didn't want any woman at the party to get out of my sight as every party gave me hope of finding my mate, but my visit to my parents was necessary. It was mom's birthday and never in all these years, I missed her birthday. With me or not... Her and Dad's birthday will always be celebrated. I was on my way back home when I saw a girl running on the streets so fast that it looked like someone was chasing her. She was running on my pack's street... She is my pack member... And she is safe here... Why the heck she was running like this? No one was after her. I took some long strides toward her to make sure she was okay, but my nose caught an alluring and intoxicating scent that I never smelled before... It was her... It was her scent that captivated me and excited my wolf and me at the same time... Damn... I don't think I need a party anymore... I frea
~Liam's POV~ ***My mate's legs and arms were wrapped around me nicely and tightly, which made me chuckle, and I kissed her head. She is beautiful and innocent... I have never seen someone so beautiful as her. Her eyes were closed while some hair strands were covering her face, making her look the prettiest. Her mouth was a little open while she slept soundly in my arms. She looked like a baby... My baby... I kissed her head and caressed her bare back while she snuggled more into me. "You should have marked her," Leo complained. "I wanted to... But she was in pain... You noticed how tears were trying to stain her face. We can do it next time... She won't feel pain in her lower in second time." It was difficult for me to hold back myself as I was already on her neck with my teeth nipping her neck but after hearing her silent cries and seeing tears running down her face, I had to stop. She is a human... I should not test her and her body like that... And it's not that
~Hazel's POV~ The soft feel of the mattress and blanket made me purr in my sleep, and I snuggled close into the pillow, which smelled like... Mint... Like my mate... Smiling ear to ear, feeling complete, I took my hand to my neck, right where Liam marked me, and moaned... God... this feels like heaven... My neck tingles every time I touch the mark, and it gives me a wholesome feeling in my heart that makes me feel complete. It tickles with even the slightest touch and gives me butterflies in my stomach. Just like the tiny baby moving in my belly, this is also the best feeling in the world. We kissed, we made love, we mated, and... He marked me... He finally made me his! But... Wait... Where the heck is he? I jolted up from the bed and looked everywhere in the room, but he was nowhere to be found. I ran to the bathroom and knocked twice on the door, but... No... "Liam! Where are you?" I yelled, scared and panicked. Tears started running down my face, and my breat
~Liam's POV~ "No, no, no, this can't be true! Axel will never do this to you. I might not know him for that long, but as much as I know him, I know that he will never betray you. He took a bullet for you bathed in wolfsbane even after knowing how dangerous it could be for him... Why would he do that? No... He will never do that!" Hazel hasn't stopped pacing in the room after hearing that guy was sent by Axel. She was so on edge after hearing everything that she was radiating anger like never before. There was an aura around her that I never sensed before... Heck, I never saw her radiating such a powerful aura before that she was radiating today. The gym, and now, she was someone else. "No... I... I don't believe this..." She said while running out of breath. "Hey, hey, hey, you need to calm down, okay? Sit," I said and made her sit on the bed beside me. Handing her a glass of water that she gladly took, I sighed, "I feel the same as you... Axel would never do any such t
~Liam's POV~"I should take notes of this..." I whispered. "Wait till you see more," She giggled. "I thought it was a movable almirah..." She shook her head, "It isn't. It looks like one from the outside but it's not. The center part won't budge from its place as you already saw it's a door to this small room." The room was very small, enough only for a person to stand in, so Hazel walked into the room and turned to her right, where a giant locker was placed. She placed her thumb on its scanner and took glasses from the stand. The glasses seemed to get some... Wait... Are they scanning her eyes? "Your eyes are getting scanned?" I asked in awe. "Yup," She chuckled. What the heck? "I thought I had the best protection in my packhouse," I said, a little disappointed with the lack of such high protection in my packhouse. "Yeah, that's why Zoey was able to steal so many things," She smirked. "Hey, that's a personal attack," I said and slapped her butt which made her jump
~Liam's POV~ I knew coming back to the place that gave Hazel the worst memories of life wouldn't be easy. A Tsunami of emotions hit Hazel so bad last time we came here that I promised not to let her step into this house again, but here we are, once again, in front of the house that holds only the traumas of my mate. I tightened my grip around my mate's shoulder who was gazing at the house with a heavy heart and sighed, "I remember I promised you that you wouldn't be here again and I would get the whole house painted and repaired but I was so busy with other things that I couldn't look after it. I'm sorry." Just like the last time, her heart was racing and anxiousness was evident to feel within her without even trying. She was trying her best to control her emotions but since we were bonded, it was easy for me to see and feel every breath filled with pain that she was taking in. "Don't be. At least you asked people to cover up the walls. I'm grateful for that," She smiled at m
~Hazel's POV~ "Hazel, sweetheart, wake up! Wake up, baby!" I jolted up from the bed and caught my breath... What the heck was that? My hand instantly went to my belly, and I took a sigh of relief; my baby was with me... That... That was a dream... No... Nightmare. "Sweetheart, are you okay? Another nightmare?" Hearing Liam's voice made me snap out of the pain and grief that I was still feeling, and I cupped his cheeks while scanning his body over and over again. "I'm glad you are okay..." I cried and hugged him tightly. I have been having nightmares for days, but this was the worst one out of all. "Sssh, it was just a nightmare..." He caressed my hair and kissed my head. "I-I saw you and our baby... Dying... In front of my eyes," I whispered and hugged him tightly. I don't want even a bit of it to come true. Fuck this dream, I can't even see these two getting a scratch. Earlier, it was only a man, a woman, and a baby that I used to see in my nightmares, b
~Hazel's POV~ ***My heart was my guide and my eyes in this dark room. I didn't know where I was going or where I was in the first place... All I knew was that my heart was guiding me somewhere safe. I called for Liam every single second and steps that I took in the moon goddess knew which direction with racing heartbeats. I hate being alone... I have been alone all my life and I hated every single second of it. I don't want to be alone again... I have a mate and friends now; I want to be with them as long as I can, not in the darkness that I used to live in for most of my life. "Liam!" I called Liam, Scarlett, and others, but there was no one to hear my voice. Sweat formed on my head while tears started to pool in my eyes... It feels like I am living my worst nightmare. No one is around me... And this time, not only my loved ones but NO ONE. Not even a single person. With chaos in my heart and mind, I kept walking forward and soon smiled in joy as I finally found light
~Liam's POV~ "Is it done?" I asked Lexi, who had just gotten out of the dungeon with Nick. She nodded her head, "Don't take her out of her cell otherwise, the magic will lose its charm. Stay within the boundaries that I have created in front of her cell." "Thank you," I nodded my head and walked into the dungeon. Ethan and Charlotte were the first ones to get into my sight as I entered the dungeon. While seeing Ethan standing with a face full of arrogance in front of me, made me want to growl, my aunt's puffy face with dry eyes told me to stay put. She has been trying her best to change her arrogant son's mind but she doesn't know his mind stopped functioning in the right direction ages ago. Not wanting to initiate any conversation, I cleared the way for them to leave and moved down into the dungeon. It's hard for both of them to see their son like this but it will only keep becoming difficult if they don't accept today's truth. I walked straight in front of Zoey's c
~Liam's POV~ Nick walked into my office with sleepy eyes and a yawn coming out of his mouth which made Axel and I scoff at him. "We are hanging over a cliff but you seem to be dancing over the top," Axel scoffed. "Yeah, I was... Last night," He chuckled. "Great, now, we should work if we want to stay on top every night," I said while rolling my eyes. "Aye, aye, captain," He saluted and sat on the couch. He opened his laptop while I shared the records of my pack members with him. Forwarding my laptop to Axel, I sighed, "This is the data of the past twenty years, split up in two. List out all the names of people who have been around all the while and died the same year as Hazel's parents and mine, obviously the ones old enough to betray their alpha and Luna. And make a special note of people who were around when Lexi's mother and Adams joined the pack." While I read the letters and try to find something related to Hazle's wolf, I want them to dig into our pack's histor
~Liam's POV~ "So you are still not able to change her mind?" Axel asked as he threw a punch at me. I growled and blocked his punch, "It feels like I'm talking to a wall at times..." "It won't be easy," He groaned while pushing me back and threw a punch again at me but I ducked his attack and kicked his leg. I locked his neck between my arms and growled, "I don't want to wait." I freaking don't want to wait anymore... It's been three days since I am trying to change Hazel's mind about her wolf but she just doesn't want to listen. I am certain that whoever betrayed Dad and partnered with rouges is still breathing fresh air into my pack every single day... I want to rip that person's heart out from his body... That person snatched our parents... I want to burn him every single day till his soul begs me to put an end to his misery... Axel tapped on my elbow and I quickly let go of him, "I didn't realize I was holding on tight." "You do realize that you have to talk it out t
~Hazel's POV~ In the past few moments, I got to know so many things about my parents and our past, and every time I felt agitated on the verge, Liam was calming me down but this time... He was the one losing his cool. His palms were turned into fists and his fists were so tight that I could see his knuckles turning yellow while the nerves on his arms seemed as if they would pop out any moment. He was doing his best in maintaining a straight face with no emotions on his face but I could feel how raged he was from the inside. He wanted to rip people's hearts out... He wanted to go on a killing spree... "Nobody told me that rogues had anything to do with their accident," Liam said, trying his best not to growl while I kept caressing his neck to keep him calm. Mr Haywood looked down at his lap and sighed heavily, "I know you might think we did wrong to you, but trust me, it was for the best." He gazed at Liam and smiled, "Charlotte and Nathaniel were each other's support i
~Hazel's POV~My head was already spinning with so many things unfolding in front of my eyes that I couldn't seem to handle them anymore. But... I know I have to go on if I want to know the whole truth. "But the pack would have helped them? Why do they have to go on their own?" Liam asked Mr Haywood. "Ivy received a threat note in the same handwriting as the letter that Peter received, stating that they would be coming for both the Silver wolf and were-witch. We four believed that it was our fight, not the whole pack. Doesn't matter what the year was, we all were welcomed in this pack by your ancestors. We respected that and wanted to keep their people safe, it wasn't their fight. They weren't supposed to lose their kids or parents because of our kids so we chose to fight on our own. Also... Alpha Nathaniel doubted that someone from the inside was giving information to outsiders as Julia shifted only once into her wolf but in the depths of the forest. No one could get that deep
