9. Demons

~Hazel's POV~

My heart was pounding like crazy in my chest... It felt like I was running out of breath and my heart would explode at any moment.

My sweaty palms told me how nervous I was to be here... In a small space, sitting in the car after signing the contract... I didn't know where this contract was going to take me.

I don't know if it's right or wrong... I just know one thing, these people gave me a lot of sleepless nights filled with a lot of tears and heartaches.

I remember the time when I was fainting now and then and was dizzy all day because I couldn't sleep for straight seven days...

For two days after my eighteenth birthday, I tried very hard to shift into my wolf, but my shift didn't happen. At first, people found it concerning that my shift wasn't taking place and it might become dangerous for my health and identity if I shifted in front of people who are not meant to know anything about us.

But then... just after only two days, their behaviour and concern for me changed into hatred and mockery.

They made it so difficult for me to get out of my small house that I stayed in my house for days, just sitting in the dark corner with my head on my knees and tears running down my face... I spent seven miserable days.

I thought I would get through it in my house, but all of those Silver Moon people, including almost every adult and teen, made it impossible for me to survive in my house as well.

From shouting names in front of my house and writing names on my house to throwing hatred paper in my house through the window, they did every possible thing to remind me and tell me how big disgrace I was to the whole werewolf community.

I couldn't even look out of my window as people were always waiting for me to come outside to bully me until Scarlett came back from her aunt's place and found out what had happened to me.

If it wasn't for her telling people to stay away from me and threatening them to tell Alpha about their deeds, I wouldn't ever have stepped out of my house.

Though the alpha of the pack himself turned out to be a dick to me, still sometimes I want to know if he had found out about all this happening to me then what he would have done for me as a pack member because I know what he had done to me as his mate. So, this was not an area for me to explore.

Well, looking at him now, he would have rejected in front of the whole pack instead of a room. But I guess that would have been a lot better for me... At least my heart wouldn't have broken like this. It would be understandable for me that he didn't want a weak Luna, but mating with me and then rejecting me was a whole other level shit he put me through.

I don't know if I would be able to take a peaceful breath in the Silver Moon pack or not, but one thing is for sure, the people of the Silver Moon pack will pay for what they had done to me.

For sure, they would be stunned and would call me a lot of names that they didn't call me before. But I am ready for that... I have two months... Two freaking months to make these people realize how big shitheads they were and still are...

And Liam...

I gazed at Liam, who was sitting right next to me in the car, doing something on his phone, and smiled. I don't know what game he was playing with me, but he didn't know that I was up for all those levels that he had set for me.

"What are you looking at?" He asked while keeping his eyes glued to his phone.

"Nothing in specific... Just thinking about all the changes coming into our lives," I smiled.

He looked up at me with a smirk on his face and excitement in his eyes, which made my heart skip a beat, and I bawled my fists on my lap. I hate when he looks at me like this... He looks so handsome that I always want to get a hold of his collar and pull him to me for a deep long passionate kiss.

He leaned towards me which made my uneven breaths noticeable to him and he breathed against my ear, "Hmm... I know we are husband and wife now, but... I guess we will talk about that more in privacy, dear wife."

He went back to his place and chuckled after noticing how I breathed a sigh of relief, and I glared at him; I wish I could punch him in the face. I just hate it when he pulls such stunts with me.

Wife...

I have become his wife...

We signed the contract and the moment I signed the contract, we left the city for his pack. Even though all my terms were stated in the contract, I am still unsure of his attitude towards me. I have to make sure no opposite clause, which is not mentioned in the contract, happens between us and he never finds out about the baby. But for that, I need to meet Scarlett as soon as I can.

"Welcome to Silver Moon pack," Liam said while smirking at me.

His smirk and the pack borders gave a chill to me and I sat straight at my place. I am back to the place that made my life miserable and made me leave my home for something that wasn't even in my control.

And that too with my mate who rejected me once...

Wow... I am back in hell with the leader of demons...

"Are you sure about your pack? Do you think they would not try to drag me down?" I asked him as the car started to reach closer to the packhouse.

Though I know what's going to happen, still I want to know what he will say.

"No... My words are a command for them. No one will say a word to you," He said.

I raised my brow at him and he shook his head at me, "Don't worry it will be fine. Just make sure not to get involved with my aunt too much. She can be a bit nosey sometimes."

She is nosey and who is he?

Cheater, heartbreaker, and a playboy.

I gazed out the window and as my eyes fell on the packhouse, my heart started to beat so fast that it felt like it was beating in my throat instead of my chest.

I am glad that the windows of the car are tinted and no one can see me as long as I am in the car, but once I step outside, murmurs, hateful comments, doubts, names, disgusted gazes, and whatnot would be coming my way.

But I am ready...

This time I am not here as Hazel Adams but as Hazel Wright. Not as a lone girl but as the Luna of their pack. Let's see how the change of title and name is going to affect all those shitheads who made my life miserable.

The car finally came to a halt and Liam stepped out of the car. I gazed everywhere around the packhouse to find Scarlett anywhere around me but she was nowhere in sight.

God... Till now scent of flowers is preventing Liam from scenting the baby but if I don't get the scent suppressant soon, he will find out about the baby.

Liam opened the door for me and asked for my hand which made me glare at him; he is not a gentleman that he is pretending to be.

Despite the anger running through my veins, I took his hand while ignoring all the tingles spreading on my hand and got out of the car.

As soon as I got out of the car, I felt a lot of heads turning my way which made my heartbeat rise and I tightened my grip on Liam's hand.

"Who is she?" I heard a woman's voice from behind.

Liam and I turned around and I saw a woman with jet-black hair standing at the door with a frown on her face. Is she his aunt?

Liam smiled at me and placed his hand on my waist which made my breath hitch in my throat and said, "Meet my wife Hazel Wright."
