Alpha's Wolf Less Mate Chapter 41
SELAH'S POV: The next morning, I woke up with a yawn. It was the dawn of a new day and for a few minutes, I totally forgot about the whole thing that happened yesterday. Everything seems different. The whole atmosphere, the dawn of a new day. Birds chirped in the trees and saturated sunlight leaked through my open window panes. A smile flooded my face and I turned and walked towards the door. I'm so hyped up for today. Opening the door, I leave my room. I find my father in the kitchen and this time, he's brooding. I hope he's not thinking about my mother this time? I'd be really mad at him. "Hey, Dad. Good morning." He jolts like he's just getting out of a trance. When he sees me, he smiles weakly. "Hey, honey. How are you?" I take a seat on the stool beside him. "I'm okay, Dad. But I'm worried about you," "Worried about me?" He asks and chuckles. "Yes. You've been really silent and I don't even know. Is it because of mum?" He smiles and

HAZEL'S POV; I woke up with a start this morning. Last night, the palace bells had been ringing loudly but I had been too sleepy to actually know what was wrong. But now I was wide awake and able to think properly, I knew the mastermind had been caught. So I immediately climbed out of my bed and rushed to take off my robe from my dresser. Tying it around my waist, I rushed out of my room, my destination, Onyx's office. I'm sure he'd be there this morning. Once I got to his door, I knocked and I was asked to come in. Onyx was seated behind his desk and his head was in the palm of his hand, a line he was thinking about a lot. "What are you doing there?" The harshness of his tone made me move back a bit. I thought he had kissed me yesterday? I mean, he had looked at me like he had grown a soft spot for me. Why was he acting harsh? I stood my ground anyway. "Uhm, I came to ask what the outcome of last night was. I was asleep when I heard the bell and I was too
Alpha's Wolf Less Mate Chapter 43
CHERRY'S POV: Something about Onyx's demeanor didn't feel right. The way his eyes darted from side to side when I asked him about our parents' whereabouts. I knew he was lying about something and I was going to find out. Last night was when I opened my eyes after eight weeks. Luckily for me, one of the maids had just come in that night to change my sheets. She screamed at the top of her voice before running out of my room to get Onyx. When he came back, he was so happy. I was engulfed in a long hug until the doctor arrived and told him I shouldn't be exerting so much energy. But I was so happy to see my brother after a long time. I was about to ask for my parents when the doctor injected some weird liquid into my skin. Before I could complete my statement, I was fast asleep. Waking up this morning, the first thing on my mind was to find my parents. Before the maids came in, I had sneaked out of my room to go to them. I was getting prepared to yell at them for not
Alpha's Wolf Less Mate CHAPTER 43
HAZEL'S POV: I don't know if this is a trance but how did she move from pushing me to the ground to apologizing to me? I didn't believe her at first. I mean, she can't just come to me for an apology and expect me to accept it immediately. But I'm scared of her. Her presence makes me nervous and after everything that happened, all I wanted to do was please her no matter what. I didn't want to offend her and I felt like not accepting her apology and forgiving her would make her angry. She even had a dizzy spell that made me so worried and in my head, I could hear her blaming me for making her this way. I was indebted to her no matter how mean she was to me. "I forgive you." The smile across her face was so wide that I thought her lip would crack. But it didn't. She pulled me into a hug and I froze. I must be in a dream, right? I must have a dream. Because Cherry can't be hugging me. She used to hate touching me. She used to push me away from her.
Alpha's Wolf Less Mate CHAPTER 45
ONYX'S POV: I just knew that there was something wrong. Right from when I found them both at the garden talking to each other like they were long lost friends to the dining room. I watched Cherry as she spoke to Hazel. Hazel seemed uncomfortable but she was unrelenting. I knew my sister. She would suddenly become your friend just so she could get something out of you. But what was it? What exactly was it? I had asked everyone to keep the news of the happenings of yesterday from her. I had also asked them to keep shut and not answer her even if she threatened to report them to me. I knew Hazel wasn't going to tell her such a thing. She was a wise woman. I watched Hazel leave the dining room and when Cherry stood to her feet moments after, I gave her a look. "Why have you suddenly become close with Hazel? When did you suddenly stop hating her?" Cherry shrugged and quickly wiped her mouth. I knew there was something she wanted to talk about. There r

CHAPTER 46 ONYX'S POV: I don't know how to feel right now. I am extremely mad at Hazel and I know I shouldn't have hit her because it was all Cherry's fault but I couldn't control my anger! Fucking hell! I should have told Hazel not to say a word to Hazel but Cherry had gone ahead to manipulate her into telling her the truth and now look where it brought her. When I said those threatening words to Hazel, I meant it. I still do. If anything happens to the only one left in my family, I'd make sure she suffers for it. I don't care if it's right to do that to her but I fucking will. I'll make sure she regrets the day she let Cherry manipulate her. As I walked through the corridor, I bumped into the doctor who bowed to me. "How is she doing?" I asked. The doctor sighed. "Her vitals are low but she's going to be fine. What made her collapse if I might ask?" "She heard the news of my parents being poisoned." "That's bad. Make sure to keep it from he

SELAH'S POV: Guetta was Onyx's beta and I never really liked him. He also made sure to tell me that he didn't like a bit of me and we had come to terms with that. But hearing that he was at the door filled me with terror and angst. He has never visited me before and him visiting at this time told tales of trouble. My father held me close and looked into my eyes. "Are you sure you want to see him? I can tell him to come back later. You're not in good shape to actually see him," I smiled stiffly at my Dad. "Don't worry, Dad. I'll go see him now. I'm okay," He looked at me with uncertainty. "Are you sure?" I nodded and smiled at him before patting his arms. "I'll go now," He nodded and I went into the house. I just hoped he wasn't following after me because I didn't have the strength to start explaining why I poisoned the King and the Queen or begging him to stop crying. Luckily for me, he wasn't following after me. Maybe he was giving me a little bit
Alpha's Wolf Less Mate CHAPTER 48
HAZEL'S POV: I stayed in bed all day, sobbing and feeling like the worst, most unwanted person on the planet. I was a fool. I was a fool to think that Onyx had developed a soft spot and a bit of respect for me. I had ignored those looks of disdain from him, those derogatory statements and words he had used on me just because I had a little faith that things were starting to get better and even if it was rocky at first, it would always get better. But it didn't get better. It got worse, even. Onyx had told me he'd blame his parents' death on me if anything happened to Cherry and now, he was inviting Selah over to the palace. Just when I thought they were over. I felt this slight pain in my chest. I couldn't help it. I couldn't even sleep. I tossed from side to side and even sat up to lean against the headboard and peek outside. They were still there and they seemed to be in an argument. I couldn't look at them. I didn't want to, heck. When I decided that

CHAPTER 133 HAZEL'S POV; "Don't you look breathtaking tonight, honey?" Queen Arya squealed as I took the steps down. The room was filled with guests and everyone seemed to be merry. I was taken back to this morning and how the execution bad been carried out. The people had gathered around the front of the palace, all waiting as the offenders stood in a line. Selah and her parents were banished and the maid who had helped in executing the poisoning had been executed and I thought that was quite unfair. I'd have loved to see Selah hanging off a rope as she gagged for the last of her breath. But banishing them was worse than executing them. Whenever anyone was banished, it was taken to the Lycan Confederate and they would be stamped unwanted by any Packs around and always hunted down by wolf hunters so I understood why Onyx had let them live to suffer. The guard who had also agreed to the fact that we were having an affair was executed for lying agai

CHAPTER 132 ONYX'S POV; There was a lot I had to do. But first, I needed to be alone. After welcoming my parents and speaking to Cherry, I turned and walked back into my study. Theresa followed behind me. I knew she had something to tell me. Once I was in the confines of my study, I turned to look at her. "You've got something to tell me?" Theresa nodded and went ahead to pull out a seat. She took a seat and stared at me. "I'd rather you took your seat," Nodding, I pulled out a seat. "I hope you're not here to tell me something that'll make me worry? I think I've had enough drama for today," "It's not a lot that I want to say, Onyx. I just want to tell you that I am really happy you're coming to terms with everything changing," I leaned back against my chair and stroked my chin. "Theresa, I am really overwhelmed. All these time, I have been pushing the people that care about me away. I feel so terrible right now to be very honest. It feels like a

CHAPTER 131 HAZEL'S POV; I spent the next few minutes staring down at my hands. I felt stronger than ever. Smiling, I let my claws jut out before letting it go back in. Squealing in delight, I fell back flat on the bed and smiled. A knock sounded on the door. I sat up immediately and stood to my feet. Twisting the knob, the door opened. Onyx stood there. I was taken aback but I let him in anyway. He looked really dull and like he needed a hug but I stepped back and maintained my position, my hand behind my back. "You're well, aren't you?" He asked when he stopped in the middle of the room and looked around. "Yes, I am," I replied with a nod. He said nothing for the next few moments. He busied himself with checking the window to be sure the locks were intact. I stood there, watching him with slight surprise. Why was he doing all these? "What's going on?" I finally asked. He turned to look at me. "I want to be sure the locks are intact
Alpha's Wolf Less Mate CHAPTER 130
CHAPTER 130 ONYX'S POV; I drove into the palace, shaking with anger. Seeing Hazel had released something in me. All the pent up anger and hatred had come flowing out of my whole being and I didn't want to see her close to me at all. Once I parked my car, I pushed the door open and shut it with a thud. I walked straight into the palace. The Priest stood in the middle of the great room. A lady dressed in a cloak stood behind him, her head bowed low. I stopped before him. "It's a surprise to see you here after such a long time. I hope you have come with great news concerning the recovery of my parents?" He looked at me with obvious displeasure and took a step towards him. "That is not why I have come here, Alpha Onyx," "Is something wrong?" "Terribly. And for the fact that you have been aware and hiding it. It's terrible," . "What are you talking about?" "Have you forgotten? It's so funny how you tend to forget things because you force yourself t

CHAPTER 129 HAZEL'S POV; It felt beautiful to be running with so much speed past trees and vegetation. I moved with the breeze, feeling free. I had shifted and I revelled in the strength it came with. It's speed and great hearing ability. So this was how it felt to be a wolf? This was how amazing it felt to have a wolf. I thought back to my brother and how he was going to be so shocked and filled with excitement as he shifted. And that made me change my course. I had been running towards the blood river which was the southern part of this lake but I made a side turn, going southwest. I ran for such a long time, going only through the forest as I knew it led to the back of our cottage. While I was eager to go through the front door, I knew I had to go. Through the back. There was a possibility that it had already been found out that I wasn't in my room. I mean, it was midday already and Theresa would be worried. At least, I hadn't informed her. Still, I h

CHAPTER 128 ONYX'S POV; I had no idea where to start from. Today was going to be hectic but I didn't care. I needed to find her and the first place I went to was her home. No one was home. The gates were latched and locked but the fence was short so I jumped over it. There was a possibility that Hazel had locked it to keep anyone off, just like the way she had made a false body in her bed. As I walked towards the porch of the cottage, I felt a wave of nervous feeling wash over me. She better be there or I was going to lose my shit. On getting to the door, I twisted the door knob but it was locked. I tried a few more times before realizing that she was indeed not at him. Maybe she locked herself in? I knew keeping keys outside was one common thing so I lifted the floor mat. There was no key there. I looked around then I find a vase standing at the other side. I walked to it and looked around but there was no key. Parting the leaves of the plant

CHAPTER 127 ONYX'S POV; "Where's my wife?!" I thundered as I walked through the corridor. The maids stood there, watching with fear. I had gone to Hazel's room to check on her but her door was locked. I knocked several times but no answer came. I knew she couldn't ignore me for that long even if she was mad at me or hated me. Something was wrong. I asked one of the guards to climb up her window and look in only for him to find out that she was not in bed but an array of pillows covered with her duvet to make it look like she was asleep. Once it was reported to me that she wasn't in her room, I went into a full blown panic and asked all my guards to search for her. I was so afraid. A lot of things ran through my head. What if she had been kidnapped by Selah a second time? I knew they were capable of doing that. Or maybe she had run away. But with who? Earl? I sent one of my guards to check if she was with Earl but he returned with negative news and

CHAPTER 126 HAZEL'S POV; The next morning, I woke up as early as five and put on a dress and a cloak around my body to conceal me from being seen. I would have told Theresa about my movements but she has done something to really annoy me yesterday. Telling her would have put more risk to this as I didn't trust her so much. Before going to bed last night, I had planned on how my movement was going to be, taking notes of routes to go through and how I was going to return. She walked to the window and looked out. There were guards stationed at different points but she wasn't going to go through the palace gates. She went back to her bed and picked two pillows and arranged it on the bed to look like someone was sleeping on it. Then she raised the duvet and placed it over the pillows. As soon as she was done, she picked the keys to her room. She was going to lock it. The maid would find the door locked and think I am asleep and it would only be a matter of
