~Hazel's POV~It's been 2 hours since I heard things that I never thought about. My parents have gone a long ago... When I was ten, but after hearing that they were murdered instead of what I thought all these years, my mind was numb, and my heart was in pain. Why someone would do this to them? They were the kindest people I ever met in my life. No matter what the time or situation was, my parents were always ready to help everyone. Even the person was far away from them. Why would anyone want to hurt them? And my wolf... I fucking don't know what's true or not. It seems like I have been living a lie till now instead of a life. It was not easy for me to deal with my parents' demise and cope with my weakness of not having a wolf, but after meeting Liam, I somehow made peace with the life I was living till now, but now... I once again fell into that deep dark hell hole that imprisoned my mind for years.But I am glad I am with Liam right now... I don't know how much big a mess I
~Third Person's POV~ The happy jumps of the eighteen-year-old Hazel and the endless cries of ten-year-old Hazel were badly mixed in Hazel's head, making it difficult for her to focus on one thing. From talking and whispering sweet nothings to her baby to getting the comfort of her mate, she tried everything but she couldn't get the thought out of her head how easily somebody snatched her happiness from her at a very young age. She was torn from the inside after realizing how someone's one deed changed her life and left her in cries for years. But one thing she was grateful for was Scarlett. At least she was there to look after her at her lowest. 'Everything is gonna be fine...' She thought while caressing her belly and took her mind to her mate in whose arms she was cuddled. Liam's arms were wrapped around her belly and chest, making her smile in satisfaction of something good happening in her life, and she snuggled more into his chest. Not wanting to wake him up from
~Hazel's POV~ I combed my messy hair with giggles coming out of my mouth and sighed. This was the best vacation of my life. Especially our return. This was the first time I had gone down on any man, and I was super happy that it was my mate. I thought I wouldn't last that long but boy, the more he moaned in his sleep and got hard in my palm, the more I enjoyed every bit of it. I thought it was just my imagination or thinking that he gets big when he is super hard and closer to his release but um... I was hell wrong. It was actually true. And not to lie, I liked it. No, I loved it. And Liam... God... Be it his dick or fingers... He is good with everything. We landed an hour ago but we were so high and in the mood that we kept going for another sixty minutes without realizing that Elijah was waiting for us to leave so he could bid goodbye to his pilot duties and go back to his family. Not to mention, I was embarrassed when Liam told him that we would be down in a few minut
~Hazel's POV~ The moment we entered Lexi's room, she started chanting something, and I gazed at Scarlett. I thought witches spoke in English while doing magic, but she was speaking some alien language that I didn't understand at all. "What language is it?" I poked Scarlett's arm. "Latin... I guess..." She shrugged. "Yes, it is Latin," Lexi confirmed and told us to have a seat on the couch. "The walls are not soundproof, so I had to use magic. I don't want my Dad to find out that you both know who I am," She smiled at us. "Is that related to your mother?" I asked not being able to hold myself back. "Yeah. Magic became her death. He doesn't want the same to happen to me," She sighed and took a bowl out of her drawer.I hope and pray it won't... "Why a bowl? Didn't you say that you need to have a look at Hazel to know if she is cursed or if her wolf is locked?" Scarlett asked Lexi. "I did... And I did my best to study her aura, but there was nothing wrong with it. No
~Liam's POV~ I kissed Hazel's head while she mewled in her sleep, making me smile. Yesterday was pretty difficult for her as it was her mother's birthday and with pregnancy hormones taking a toll on her, she was all teary and frenzied the whole day. Visiting my Mom in the cemetery and spending the day with her there always calmed me but this was not the same with Hazel. Instead, the memories of her childhood kept haunting her. She couldn't even visit her in the cemetery. I don't know what she was thinking when she thought of visiting her old house, but as soon as she neared the place, she regretted her decision. Going to that cottage was way too bad for both of us and honestly, now I don't even want her to visit that cottage ever again. I was shocked and hurt to see the place where she lived for months. I am sure that was a place that she could call home before her eighteenth birthday but after that, that cottage became a horrible place for anyone to live. From outside t
~Liam's POV~ I mind-linked Hazel to know if she was awake or not, but she was still asleep, which gave me a chance to go through everything that I retrieved from Zoey. "You shouldn't let Hazel wake up alone," Leo muttered in my mind. I know I shouldn't, considering how badly she was traumatized the last two times, but now I am bonded with her; she knows I am close, and also she is sleeping. I will make my way back to her in a few seconds, I just have to make sure that everything that my father and mother kept safe for years or gathered in their life is safe. There are a lot of other things that my mother used to cherish more than luxuries. She always found peace in small things rather than jewellery and expensive gifts. Where other women loved to receive expensive surprises on her birthday, she found joy in spending the day with Dad and me alone, far away from the business of the city and duties of the pack. It was so important for her to create memories every single day that she
~Hazel's POV~ I stretched my muscles while still being in the comfort of the bed and smiled; I love the undisturbed sleep I have had for the past few days. No waking up in the middle of the night, no nightmares... Just my baby, mate and me sleeping peacefully beside each other. I groaned... My baby is with me but my mate... I was about to groan in our mind link when suddenly the door opened and Liam walked inside the room with a smile on his face. He hopped into the bed beside me and wrapped his arms around me, "I am on time..." "No, I woke up alone," I complained and shut my eyes again. "Yeah... I'm sorry, I took more than an hour. A few stuff demanded my attention," He sighed while caressing my hair. His voice didn't sound as happy as usual. What was the stuff that disturbed him in the morning? "What was it?" I asked while cupping his cheeks. "I found a box in my mother's stuff that I got back from Zoey. That box is locked with magic and now I don't know how to
~Hazel's POV~Walking into the Silver Moon pack has never been easy for me, and now, after completing my mating with Liam, it has become more difficult. I didn't think of this before, but now, I strongly believe that earlier, everyone, along with Liam's aunt, uncle, and cousin, used to think that Liam was bluffing about me which was somewhere true to his part, but after seeing the mark on my neck, they all were surprised as if it wasn't supposed to happen.I get why pack members weren't believing it but Hudson and his father... They were more surprised than anyone. I saw a bit of surprise on Charlotte's face as well but it was instantly replaced by a bright smile and happiness on her face. But Hudson and his father... I don't know why they were so shocked. It's been three days since I am back and walking in the pack with Liam's mark on my neck, but still, people's stare makes me a little uncomfortable, as if it wasn't meant to happen. And today is the fourth day of getting uncomfort
*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
