Chapter Ten

Noah’s POV

The sound emanating from my chest was more of a growl than a groan. It was like my pain was caught between my two sides; the human and the wolf side. I did not know what to do. My wolf was starting to go crazy and I did not like it. I knew it was only a matter of time before I turned rogue. A rogue alpha was a danger to his people. These people needed to trust me enough to tell me their troubles. They could not do that when I was in a state of madness.

The thought of Hazel was driving me crazy. She was near yet still so far, out of my reach. I wanted her with the intensity of fire and the fierceness of a storm. One thing was hindering me from seeking her out though; I was afraid of being rejected and humiliated. If only I could get an assurance that she would not reject me again, I would have already gone to her.

“Alpha, your water.” A voice called out.

Startled from my thoughts about Hazel, my hands flailed and I ended up knocking the jug of water from the maid

    Chapter 11Alpha Drake’s POVI had had a long day, from meeting other alphas for a ceremony to supervising the building of another company of mine. These were tasks that I could not have delegated because they needed my presence. The only thing I regretted was not being able to see Hazel. I had wanted to pass by the company but I was exhausted and needed to wash off the day’s dirt. Pack business was sometimes draining. However, I derived pleasure in knowing that I had all that power in my hands. I could wield it the way I deemed fit. I could break anyone at will.Speaking of power, I needed to punish the wolves that were disturbing my peaceful rest. I had been hearing the noise for some minutes now but chose to ignore it. It was now becoming louder.“I want to talk to Drake now. Move out of the way.” One of the voices shouted.“I am not going to repeat myself. You better leave this place before I wipe the floor with you.” A voice I recognized said. The voice belonged to a member of m

    Chapter 12Hazel’s POVI had woken up five minutes ago and was wondering why my alarm was not going off. The curtains were thick so I could not see the exact position of the sun. I pulled my phone from the bedside table to check the time. My eyes widened when I saw the time. I was late for work. It was ten minutes to my clocking time and I had not even taken a shower. This was a new job and I could not afford to get fired. There were no jobs that were readily available for me so I had to get ready faster.I went into the bathroom and hurriedly took a shower. I picked the nearest dress and put it on. I was going to skip breakfast because I had no time to make something. I opened the door and almost collided with Lucas.“I am so sorry. I was in a hurry. I did not see you there.” I apologized before raising my head.“It’s okay. I am the one who should apologize. I wanted to surprise you with breakfast before you left for work.” Lucas said.“That is very kind of you Lucas, thank you. You

    Chapter 13Drake’s POVIt was dawn when I woke up. I almost went back to sleep but remembered what I had promised myself the previous night. I had treated Hazel harshly even after promising myself to woo her to my side. I needed to correct my behavior and get her to be on my side; otherwise I would not get any information from her. I did not want her to pull back after she had started warming up to me. I was going to apologize by treating her right and letting her know that I was still a gentleman. I prepared myself quickly and woke Marcus up. He was the one who was going to drive to pick Hazel from her house.“Why are we picking her up? Can’t she come by herself?” Marcus asked me for the third time.I knew he was wondering what had gotten into me ever since Hazel had joined my company. I had never picked any female employee from their home. In fact I barely interacted with my employees; I delegated my duties most of the time. This meant that I was rarely seen at the office unless it

    Chapter 14Noah’s POVI had tossed and turned the whole night. I could not remember the last time I had had a peaceful sleep. I was too anxious and fatigued to have a meaningful conversation with anyone. I needed to do something; otherwise I would not function properly. Pack business needed me to be alert and active. With my mind jumbled up, I was not going to be able to make any sane decision. An outlet would be good for my mind. It would allow my mind to focus on other things apart from my missing mate who had rejected me. The only activity that would have me engaged both physically and mentally was golf.I was about to play my turn when I saw a familiar face. It was none other than Drake. Why was he here? That was a rhetorical question because this was a golf club and people played golf in such clubs. I did not was not expecting to see him anywhere near me today. Drake was a kill joy and I was in a sour mood. I watched as he approached me and my golf partner.“Hey, can I play with

    Chapter 15I was in the middle of an assignment that Drake had added me when my phone rung. This was the third task I was doing that was not my job. My colleague had wanted to help but he had been given a harsh warning not to help me. I had to do it alone yet it was not my job to begin with. I could not complain for the fear of being fired especially since the boss seemed to have developed an unexplainable hatred towards me. I had tried being a good employee but it seemed that everything I did irked him.I did not want to get fired because I was the only parent my children knew. They depended on me for everything and if they dismissed me from my job then I would be both penniless and homeless. Lucas had told me that I could stay for as I long as I want but I did not want to impose. I was planning on saving for a while and then moving on to my new apartment. I wanted my children to be comfortable and not lack anything.Without looking at the name on the display, I picked my phone and an

    Chapter 16Hazel’s POV“I am so sorry. I did not know that the mating bond was still there. I swear I don’t want to be his mate.” I apologized.This was the third time I was apologizing. The attempted kiss had left us both feeling awkward and not knowing what to do. My heart was still racing from the expectations I had about the kiss and the shock and pain that hit me when I leaned in for the kiss. Nobody, not even my mother had ever told me that mate bonds could tie you to one person even if you did not like the mate the universe had chosen for you.I did not want to be tied to Noah forever. He had rejected me and our kids when we needed him the most. I had rejected him as a form of revenge. Realizing that he still had a hold on me dampened my emotions. This was not how I imagined my life. I had not wanted to end up like my mother; hated and shunned by the pack. I had wanted to mate with my only true mate, give birth to beautiful babies and help him run the pack as Luna. Instead I wa

    Chapter 17Hazel’s POVDays had passed and I had not yet made a decision about Lucas. This was a difficult decision for me. I liked Lucas and wanted to give him a chance. He was a good guy who had done nothing wrong except love me. I was worried about Noah too. I knew he still wanted me back and roping Lucas into my messed up life would be catastrophic. The mating bond was another problem too. Engaging with someone else while still mated to Noah would harm me. I was conflicted. What would happen if I told Lucas no? Would he send me out of his house if I rejected his advances? I wanted to make a sober decision but I could not do that when my mind was clouded.To clear my mind, I decided to take Kaiser and Kyla to the park for some fun time. It had been long since we had an outing so the twins were happy when I told them about my plan. We woke up early morning to prepare for the day. I bathed the twins as Lucas made breakfast. He had cancelled his plans for the day even after I had insi

    Chapter 18Hazel’s POVI could hear Noah calling me but I ignored. I was not in the head space to listen to whatever he had to say. He could go be with his cute little family for all I cared. My heart was hurting so bad but I was not going to cry. This was a public park and I did not want children and adults to see me wailing with snort all over my face. I was going to hold the pain tight inside until we get home. I had gotten over him, why then was I feeling this hurt? Prior to meeting Noah accidentally at the club, this was the second time I was seeing him after the rejection. Apparently the pain had not depreciated.I walked to Lucas and told him that we needed to leave. He looked at me strangely wondering what had brought about the change. “Mummy, where is our ice cream?” Kayla asked.“Mummy did you get the vanilla flavor I wanted?” Kaiser questioned.“No, I am sorry. We have to leave now. We will get ice cream next weekend.” I said.“But mummy, you promised to take us swimming.”

    A couple of months have passed and Serena is still at large. Noah's pack and Lucian's pack have come together to talk to Drake's pack. They hope to deescalate the situation and bring unity and peace between both packs. Hazel is much better now and her condition is now stable. Everything seems to be looking up in their favor…..Hazel's POV~“But mommy, where are you going?” Kaiser asked, tugging on my gown. Kyle was busy with her dolls and teddy bears in her imaginary tea party. “I'll be back soon. Your dad and I are going somewhere” I explained just before Noah walked up to us and squatted in front of Kaiser. “Hey buddy. You're a man, aren't you?” He asked, to which Kaiser nodded rather silkily. “And is a man supposed to stress his mom?” He asked. Kaiser shook his head in disapproval. “Good. Mommy and I will be back soon, okay?”“Hmph, fine. Will uncle Lucian visit us today?” He asked.“Of course, buddy. You know we haven't finished our game yet. I still owe you one beat down”

    In a black helicopter, Lucian and Max along with the pilot can be seen approaching Lucian's Mansion. They've gotten the chest finally and are on their way home to check it out…..Lucian’s POV~We had finally gotten the damn chest and were on our way home. I was excited to open it but Max stopped me…and for good reason too. We didn't have a freaking idea what was inside this thing. And we sure as hell didn't want to blow ourselves up in the helicopter. “It’s so heavy. I wonder what's in it.” I muttered. “We'll find out when we get home.” Max responded, “But what even led you to go get it by the way?” he asked. I paused to think for a moment. Up till now, I didn't really have any real reason for taking such a perilous trip; just a gut feeling. “I honestly don't even know. It's just this strong hunch inside me.” I said, “Almost like my wolf is forcing me to go get it.” I said. Max thought about it for a while. “Could it be your dad or other predecessors trying to tell you some

    A black sedan pulls up right in front of Noah's villa premises. In it, Naya and Hazel can be seen seated. They are having a conversation about whether or not to go in…..Naya’s POV~“You ready?” I asked as I took a glance at her. She looked rather nervous but yet she looked excited…. almost like a child. “I don't really know. Do I look okay?” She asked, as she checked her hair in the mirror. For some reason, I smiled. She was so cute the way she tried to look her best. “You look fine” I said, “I'm sure your kids are dying to see you. You'll always look great to them no matter what you wear” “Are you sure?” She asked. “I'm positive” I reassured her. She took a deep breath and finally agreed. “Alright then. Let's go inside” she said, “I'm ready now”.“That's the spirit”, I responded, staring at the determination on her face. It was funny how she was so excited to see the same people she has been seeing for years. We got out of the car and walked over to the gates. Ding! Dong!

    The next day, Hazel can be seen sitting up on her bed in her room. She looks like she's lost in thoughts. But why? Could something be bothering her?Hazel's POV~“Why do I feel so uneasy?” I muttered in deep thought as I looked around the room, my eyes staring but not really looking at anything. Something felt odd but I didn't know what. While I was trying to process my thoughts, I heard a knock on the door. “Who is it?” I asked, turning my head to the side. The door handle twisted and it opened slightly to reveal Naya's head popping out like a child playing pop-goes-the-weasel. “Hey” she greeted with a smile as she walked in, “Someone's up early” she said. I smiled in response, watching as she walked up to the bed and took a seat. I didn't really want to talk - or did I? I couldn't even tell. Something was just off and I couldn't really point out what it was. “Well I could barely get some sleep” I responded. “Really? Are you alright?” She asked. “Yeah, I'm fine….I thin

    Back at the Jade goddess temple……Lucian's POV~“I don't know, Max. Don't you think this place could suddenly spit out another round of flames?” I asked as we walked through the dark hallway. Max, whose flashlight was still on, was searching for clues down on the floor and on the walls. All I could see was a bunch of gibberish hieroglyphics. It was weird how the writings on the wall sorta looked like all writings from all languages at the same time. From one angle, it almost looked Egyptian and from another angle, it looked sorta like ancient Neanderthal paintings. “For the last time sir and for the love of God, it's not spitting any more flames.” He said, “We've already defused it”“Says who? How can you be so sure?” I asked, and for good reason too. “Who's to say that the builders couldn't have chosen to play a trick on us and just set the trap twice?” I asked. “Well, you do have a point, but if you were that thoughtful at the beginning, perhaps we wouldn't even be here in the fi

    In a certain bar at night, Serena can be seen drinking some beer. She's clearly lost in thought and looks a bit tipsy. Just then someone walks over to her table. Who is it?Serena's POV~How did it all go so wrong so fast? Who were those guys? Especially the one the suit…And how the hell did he find me? What did he mean that he Hazel's brother? Hazel never even had a brother….at least, I don't remember her ever having one. “Could Noah be behind all that?” I pondered, staring into the distance in thought. It didn't seem likely. I knew the scent of both Noah's and Drake's packs; that dude’s scent wasn't anything to close to the both of ‘em. It definitely wasn't Noah's idea and it certainly wasn't Liam's idea. Liam would never use another person to get at me - if he even had any idea that I was still alive. I couldn't wrap my head around the whole thing and just continued sipping my beer. While I kept taking more sips, I heard footsteps approaching my table.Clip! Clop! Clip! Cl

    Lucian's POV~“What's that?” I asked as I watched him walk past again. “A rock, sir” he answered, looking at me with confusion written all over his face.“Of course I know it's a rock, you dimwit. I mean what do you plan to use it for?” I said, smacking my forehead with my palm in frustration. “Oh. It's for the tile, sir” he said and then poised himself for what looked like him trying to play dodgeball with ants. “Please take a few steps back.” He said. At first I stared at him with my brows raised in confusion. I didn't know what he was planning, but I moved back regardless. Even if his hunch was false, I still couldn't take any chances. “What do you think you're doing?” I asked, still curious to know what exactly he thought he was doing. “Disarming the temple, sir. We're gonna place this rock on the tile and see which trap goes off first” he said. I didn't even know how to respond, but then again what did I know about all this anyway?“And what makes you think there are any tra

    Lucian and Max have emerged the the hallway and have gotten into a rather large chamber. It's a round hall surrounded by multiple evenly spaced huge doors all around. At the center of the hall is something like a treasure chest positioned on a little altar-like stand. What is that?Lucian's POV~*Cough! Cough!* “Shit, it's dusty in here” I complained as I covered my nose and mouth with my elbow. Max and I had finally made it out of the long ass, web-filled hallway and we were now in the temple. “You don't say” Max responded with a hint of sarcasm as he emerged from the hallway after me. “I do say, actually. The webs here are crazy” I exclaimed as I tried to get the ones in front of me off. “Well I don't think they are anywhere as crazy as whatever inspired you to drag us here” he said. Bro was just unnecessarily spiteful at this point, because why else was he keep trying to make me feel guilty? “Save it, Max” I cut him off, “I brought us here and that's that. Now let's go

    Naya had just ended the call with her boss, Lucian. Judging from how he responded, he certainly wasn't going to be home early so she had to take care of his sister Hazel till he gets back. Naya’s POV~“Well, that's a shame” I thought aloud as I dropped the phone. What in the world was gonna take him so long? Well there was no need to question him now, was there? He was too adamant to even heed anyone's correction to begin with so it was pointless. Though judging from how much he adored his sister, it would take something pretty serious to delay him that long from seeing her. Putting down the phone, I strutted back to Hazel's room. She should have been done with eating by now. I hurried back to her room only to see her getting dressed. She was standing right in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the flowery gown she was wearing. “Wow, someone looks sexy today” I flattered her as I walked in. She turned back in surprise.“Oh, it's you” she chuckled as she looked back at
