CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

DARIUS

“Darius.” The voice called, and it began to grow stronger, with each second. It grew until it felt like the whole room was echoing with it.

I bit my lip, feeling unsure about everything and everyone I was leaving behind.

I gritted my teeth, and looked at my closed door once more, as the whisper turned into a shrill scream that seemed to bore into my head.

“Darius!”

I lay on the bed, going under the covers, and closed my eyes.

“Here I am.” I replied, and immediately, I seemed to fall from quite a height. I struggled, fighting with my arms and legs, wanting to land safely.

Thudding onto a strong surface, my groan echoed, as I tried to raise myself. I looked around me— darkness.

“Let's get this over with. Whatever it is.” I spat, looking around at the dark abyss.

Slowly, as the darkness dissipated, the whole place began to tear down, coming awash with color.

Beige walls, sunlight streaming in, a large bed, books, portraits, a pair of pink sneakers…

    CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT MELISSA “You want Hazel?” I asked, schooling my face into one of shock, disbelief, and fear. Inside me was as sweet as honey. Everything seemed to be working according to plan. “I believe she will do much more damage to Darius than a war will.”“Why Hazel? We can't just do that. Darius will go mad.”“I'm assuming you know where your fiance went.” Alpha Liam said, twirling wine in his glass. “But, you really can't do that. Kill an innocent girl all because of Darius?”“Oh no, I'm not like that. I want to toy with her a little bit.” He said, with a smirk, and my heart pounded. He wasn't going to kill her??But no, as he and Jake exchanged grins, I knew they had something naughty in mind. They were definitely going to murder her. “Promise me you won't hurt her. She's important.” I said, and Jake raised a brow.“Weren't you the one who got Crane killed because you wanted him to pretend he and Hazel were having something?” He asked, and I swallowed.“At the time,

    CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE DARIUS “Damn!” I yelled, as I managed to bring my head above the surface once more. My black hair plastered to my face in slime water, and I took out my claws, swiping madly at the creatures. They made screeching noises, and stank so bad that I felt it would kill me instead of the slimy water they wanted to drown me in. “Stay.” They all began to say, their words overlapping, in their scratchy voices. “Get off me!” I yelled as they increased in number, gathering from every part of the water to come to me.My claws swiped blindly, black substance squirting on my face, with each slash. Face, neck, body, arm— I slashed madly, wanting to hit anything I could. Wanting to somehow magically ruin them all for daring to even touch me.My hair was pulled roughly by hands. My legs were also pulled downwards, and I actually held onto one of them, so I would stay above the surface. They were so slippery, I could barely hold on. One caught my arm, and before I could bat it

    CHAPTER FORTY HAZEL The color drained from my face, as I saw Aurora sitting with her arms and legs crossed, as she watched me with a smile.Next to her was her Alpha, looking at me with furrowed brows. He was the Alpha I was supposed to get married to. Alpha Liam and his Beta sat on another sofa, all of them, staring at us. “Oh my God, Hazel, I knew you'd get into trouble soon enough. Honey, may I have a word with her?” She asked, and I wanted to say no, but I couldn't. I was the one in the less favorable position.“Go on.” Her Alpha said, and she got up, adjusting her dress. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she signaled rudely with her finger for me to follow her, and that, I did.She led me to a room, and eyed me from up to down.“Look, Hazel, I have the key to your life right in my hands, and you should know that.”“Is that really what you called me for? To gloat?” I asked. She was unbelievable. “It's not gloating, dear, I'm telling you what is happening right now. Honestly, yo

    CHAPTER FORTY-ONEHAZEL Oh my God! I couldn't think! What in the world was happening!? My mind went blank, and everything suddenly fled from my head. Aurora smiled devilishly, watching me try to think, while Melissa had a stiff expression on her face, like she was waiting for the worst to happen. The men watched without sympathy. They were eager for me to be crushed, just so they would break Darius. That was the only thing they wanted. ‘Hazel! You shouldn't be thinking of this now!’ Isis screamed at me. I swallowed. My palms were sweaty, and my fingers shook like never before. I looked at the walls. “Oh my God, oh my, jeez!” I freaked, and Aurora laughed crazily, while the men smiled. “Uh, um… okay, I… I've heard this riddle somewhere, but…”‘Hazel! Take in a deep breath!’ Isis growled. ‘Stop breathing.’I did as she said, and stopped breathing. ‘Now, let it out slowly. Don't look at the walls. Just don't.’ She advised, and I let out my breath slowly, letting it mingle with the

    CHAPTER FORTY-TWOHAZEL They growled fiercely, showing their long fangs, and my breath stopped, as my smile ran down. The middle one opened its mouth wide, ready to bite into my head, and I just pushed my hands forward, scratching it behind its ears vigorously.Like magic, it closed its mouth, and whined, enjoying it. With shock still on my face, I continued to scratch, and my tears ran down freely. Books had saved me. Hurriedly, I reached out to the other heads, my breath coming out sharply. The fear that they'd suddenly pounce on me was still there, eating at me.I pulled on a wobbly smile, and they stepped back, suddenly seeing like friendly creatures. Just a scratch behind the ears, that's all the fierce animal wanted. That was it. Who knew the numerous people who had been killed because they lacked the knowledge of the secret? What an irony. Such malicious animals being subdued by such a gentle tactic. As I got to my feet my limbs still shaking, they stepped back in return,

    CHAPTER FORTY-THREEMELISSA {THIRTY MINUTES AGO}I paced all around in my room, biting my thumb harshly. Guards had lined my door, and I was quite sure they had done the same for Hazel.They didn't want us going out again, but that wasn't my major concern. My hopes had been thoroughly, and mercilessly, dashed. I couldn't even help my shock, and displeasure. How did Hazel manage to survive? Liam had clearly emphasized how dangerous the beast he kept was. The creature was sick, and that resulted in it being more aggressive, so how had Hazel come out unscathed. Even during the riddle, it had hurt when she'd accidentally said the answer. “What's the next move, Mel?” You can't wait around for Darius to wake. It would be harder if Darius wakes. He would be around her almost all the time. “Screw you!” I pulled my sheets, and dragged them across my dresser. All my makeup products, skincare products, perfumes, and oils went crashing to the ground. “How did you do it, wretch?” I asked, ru

Why?The girl touched me, and a flood of memories that weren't mine filled my head. “Stop!” I shouted, stepping away from her.*‘Wash the dishes properly!’ A fat woman chopping onions at monster speed said, while I stood with the plates whimpering, my knuckles peeled and bleeding. The woman threw a plate, and it shattered on my head.*“Ah!” I moved farther away from the girl, and in my head, another memory stood out. *‘Just take me!’ I screamed, and the rogue King, whose face was mine, slashed my neck, and I fell to the ground.

Why was my own face fading in my head?“Get away from me!” I stumbled, and fell into the hands of a bald man. *‘You're a shame, Arthur! You slept with the Alpha's wife.

    CHAPTER FORTY-FIVEHAZEL I couldn't sleep that night. I simply lay on my bed, turning from side to side. What the hell was Melissa babbling about? Why was she bent on confusing me? Why? What did she think she stood to gain? I didn't want to believe her, but the look on her face was so haunting. Darius went somewhere else apart from the business trip. That was sure. He was so down when he was about to leave, and that was the day we kissed. My fingers touched my lips. He left so abruptly too, without a goodbye. His phone has been unreachable, and back at Alpha Liam's mansion, Aurora had said, ‘If he returns!’ If Darius returns. Where did Darius go? What were they keeping from me? Ah, Xander. Melissa had mentioned him. She had initially come to me to see if I could persuade him to let us see Darius. I sat up again. See Darius? Was he somewhere near? Why did she say that?I fell back on my bed exhausted. ‘Sleep, Hazel. Tomorrow, we'll talk to Xander.’ Isis said softly. “You're righ

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINEHAZEL'S POV {One Year Later}I pushed the baby in the cot, hearing him moan and look up at me with twinkling eyes. “Sweet Dennis, you know you want to sleep. Don't give mom a headache. You know I should be with the twins, right? It's their birthday, and you had me with you all day.” I said, touching his cheeks, and he giggled. His giggle— my freedom.After Xander had been banished, and Melissa had been cast into the dungeon, I'd been so traumatized. She'd truly given birth to a baby, but it had been given to Xander. That was the last thing Darius could do to compensate him as a Beta as he sent him off to never return. As for Melissa? She remained in the dungeon. The moment she gave birth to the baby, she hated it. She complained the baby didn't give her freedom and seeing it made her remember Xander whom she painted to be a traitor and a snitch. Staying in the dungeon had broken her and the maids whispered of how she murmurs inaudible words,

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTMELISSA'S POV I yawned, stepping out of the room to get myself something to eat. Perhaps, it was just my intuition, but the house felt strangely quiet. The fridge light reflected on my face as I pulled it open, and I saw that Hazel's food for the day hadn't been given to her. “Are you planning to starve her now that we're going to kill her?” I called out, “Well, good riddance!”My voice bounced back to me in echoes, and I stepped back, “Xander?” My feet crossed the living room quickly to the room he usually slept, and I pushed open the door. He wasn't there. Did he really go to a hotel, or was he down in the basement with Hazel?Turning around, I went straight to the basement, and pushed it open, looking inside as I switched on the light. Hazel wasn't there!It hit me like a bolt of terror. “Xander! Hazel!” I called into the empty basement as if they would reply from some hiding place.“No, no! Stop thinking crazy thoughts, Melissa!” Quickl

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENHAZEL’S POV I couldn't believe it when Xander was loosing the ropes from me. I was finally free. My hands were so white, and devoid of blood, completely lifeless. After freeing my legs, he helped me rise to my feet, but I fell back almost immediately. He caught me, and we waited a while for me to be able to regain the feeling in my legs. Walking was strange and difficult after being tied up for so long, but after taking a few steps, I finally began to get the hang of it, my heart pounding in excitement as we left the house. Xander took me in his car to the mansion, and I rubbed my hands in anxiety. I would see my kids. I would see Darius. Night had fallen completely by the time we got to the mansion, and when the guards at the gate saw Xander, they gave a signal, and different guards came out from different angles, surrounding us with weapons trained on us. “Beta Xander, you have been…” A guard began.“I know. I know… just take me to the Kin

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXXANDER’S POV As Melissa walked past me, my hands balled into a fist, and shook so much that I couldn't even find a way to calm myself. She had crossed the line. She had done way too much. She had said way too much!My chest burned intensely, as a wild heat rampaged around, spreading deep within me, like a fire racing down a forest, burning everything in sight. Damn everything. Damn it all. I wouldn't let her have what she wanted. My baby! She was going to give it to Darius. And then killed Hazel? That was impossible. Yes, I'm mad at Hazel, but I still love her and wouldn't just let her die. The thought ate at me for hours, digging deep inside of me, probing me, disturbing me, until I finally realized I couldn't stay still. Hazel couldn't just die like that. I know it sounds crazy to not want her dead after everything she did to me, but for the sake of the past… perhaps just for the past…I stormed down to the basement where she stayed tied u

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE MELISSA’S POV Yes, Three long weeks went past, and my life became so static, and stagnant. Seeing Hazel’s face everyday honestly made me want to puke. At times, I’d meet her praying for her kids, and that would anger me more. She’d become a kind of punching bag for me because I vented my full anger on her whenever I felt like it. As for Xander, I didn’t know how he was doing it. For the time being, there was no trouble even with Darius having the kids, so I guessed all was going well. Perhaps he’d been avoiding Darius, although that was almost impossible and risking.However, how he handled it wasn’t really my problem. The only thing he’d become useful for was pleasing my body’s sexual desires. When he wasn’t doing that, everything else he was doing naturally became annoying. That very morning, I woke with a fever; something that was very rare for me to have. I got up, took some water, but my headache only got worse. Eventually, I crawled back

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR DARIUS’ POV {Three Weeks Later}The last three weeks that passed were hectic. Azel was still so closed off, and wouldn’t talk to me. He would not eat, and get me worried so much that I’d have to ask Theresa to find out what he wants, and take care of him so he wouldn’t get sick. Recently, things got worse. Azella, who was the more receptive one suddenly locked herself up, and wouldn’t leave her room. It was what baffled me the most, and caused me sleepless nights. A knock sounded on my door, and Theresa came in, holding Azel, who had a lollipop in his mouth, and a scowl on his face. “Yes?” “You asked for my report. Azella still won’t come out, and keeps crying. She won't let anyone talk to her.” She said, and I pushed aside the hectic work on my desk, with a sigh, before rising to my feet. Damn. My men were all over, looking for Melissa now. She’d simply gone off the grid. Her phone was untrackable. All of her records were blank. How she did

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE DARIUS’ POV {The Previous Day}My heart stirred as I beheld the two children before me. My kids. Seeing the girl again, my resemblance was present in her shining face. And the boy… he was a combination of me and Hazel. They were really my kids—my heirs. They were… mine. The feeling in my chest felt tight. Like I couldn’t breathe. Just the pain of seeing them so close to me. I’d missed so many important things in their lives. Things I wanted to do with my heirs—take first steps, go out somewhere nice, hear them call my name. The girl smiled happily, her cheeks turning a deep pink as her adorable smile reached her ears. However, the boy had a deep-seated frown on his face, making him look more like me instead of Hazel. I raised my hand, and the guards following all came to stand behind me.“Take the kids in. Give them to Theresa. Food, water, clothes, a bed… give them everything they need.” I said, and they nodded, going to the kids. Azella'

Firm, smooth, full… like a magnetic attraction, I was drawn to them, and couldn't take my eyes off them. And he made the move. He placed his hand behind my head, and bent to kiss me. It was when his lips touched mine that I knew it—my body ached to be loved. It ached to be wanted, wanted to be remembered. I'd spend so many years aching for Darius who never looked my way that I forgot what my body craved, and needed. My tears dropped as the kiss between me and Xander ran deeper, like we wanted to devour the whole of us, tongues gliding over tongues, over lips. My hands found the hardness of his chest, roaming around it as the feet seemed to pull out from underneath me. I fell against him, and he supported me, since the world was becoming unstable. My fingers ended up ripping his buttons, pulling his shirt

Two malnourished kids on their own for three days. They were dead. What would I do? My hands slowly threaded into my hair. If Darius ever found out…What would be my plan? What exactly was the whole plan from the start. Darius was never supposed to find out. He found out, and ruined everything. His patience would soon wear thin. He would soon realize that I would never ask for anything, and all I wanted was their deaths. What exactly was my plan?My hands fell limply to my sides, and I turned away from my parents, feeling the devastation continue to creep on me, snatching my chest in its iron grip. “Melissa! Where are you going in that manner? You…”“Don't act like you care! You ruined me!” I screamed, without even looking back. I needed to think.
