Broken Bonds: I want her backย ย ย 020
Chapter 20Drakeโs POVThe rejection hurt me to the core. Who did she think she was to refuse to go on a date with me? Didnโt she know that women fought to get my attention? She was throwing the same attention to my face and it pissed me off. How dare she? I was going to teach her a lesson she was going to remember forever. She was an outcast who was supposed to feed on the crumbs that I had offered her. Instead, she opened her mouth and told me no. Nobody said no to me Drake. I was a powerful alpha with several subjects who worshipped the ground I walked on.The first thing I did was follow her discreetly. I carefully followed the cab she had gotten into. I did not want to spook her. The cab stopped at a school gate. I watched as she talked to the cab driver for some seconds before alighting. She walked inside the school and headed straight to what looked like a class. One minute later, she came out holding hands with two kids; a boy and a girl. They looked happy to see her. I could

Chapter 21Drakeโs POVI was seated in my office trying to calculate the profit margin we had had last week when someone knocked my office door. I was too busy and did not want to invite the person in but the knock persisted. I was going to punish that person. Didnโt they know, that if someone refused to let you in then you were supposed to leave because they did not want to talk to you?โCome in.โ I said before stretching my arms to eradicate the exhaustion I was feeling.The door opened slowly to reveal the front desk manager in her skirt suit. I was angry at her for interrupting my work.โWhat is it that you want that cannot wait until I am done? Have you forgotten about my rule?โ I asked. โAnd you better have a good explanation.โ I hated being interrupted because I had specific time allocated to specific things.โI am sorry sir but itโsโฆโ Someone pushed her and she almost fell down.โYou fool, how dare you call the security on me? Donโt you know who I am?โ It was Roxie. Now I unde

Hazelโs POVI was going through the rest of the files I had been given when the woman that was in Drakeโs office walked past my desk. Her hair looked dishelved and she was trying to button up her coat with one hand as the left hand was holding her heels. I donโt know if she sensed that I was watching her, because she turned, walked back to me and offered me one of the deadliest stare I had ever seen. โStay very far away from Drake. You do not want me as an enemy.โ She said. Her eyes were red from both anger and frustrations. She then squinted her eyes and pointed at me with her shoes before walking out of the building. That was weird. I had nothing to do with Drake. I had turned down his offer, so why was his girlfriend or whoever she was threatening me? I was here to work and not solicit with my boss. I also did not want to be roped in in a fight between two lovers.โHello Hazel.โ Drake called. This was barely five minutes after his guest had left.โGood morning sir. Do you need any

Hazelโs POVI had racked my brain for days trying to think of who would have hated me so much to threaten my children. An answer came to me one evening when I was brushing Kylaโs hair. I had totally forgotten my encounter with Roxie. I was not sure if she was going to act on her threat. I could not quit my work for her when I had just started to enjoy the benefits of working a decent job. All I had to do was ignore and stay clear off Drakeโs path. I was not going to let Roxie actualize her plans and harm my children.I managed to avoid Drake for almost a week. I would go to work early, finish any work that needed his signature and take them to his office when he was still away. Once, I came to work and found him in the office. I had to bribe the only person I was friendly with to take the documents to him. It was like a cat and mouse game. Whenever I saw him coming, I would rush to the washroom or kitchen to get water. I barely responded to his greetings. โAre you okay? You barely st

Hazelโs POVThe children had already gone to sleep. I had cleaned the utensils we had used and was now watering Kaiserโs cactus. He had already watered it but I chose to do it again because I wanted to avoid Lucas. Before dinner, he had wanted to have a serious conversation with me. I did not know what he wanted to talk about because there was an array of issues I had not yet discussed with him. I was not used to sharing my problems with anyone. For a long time, I solved my issues alone, I stewed over them, thought of solutions that best fit me and made the appropriate move.โYou have been in there for quite some time, are you sure you are okay?โ Lucas asked me for the second time when he came by the childrenโs room to bring their school shoes. He liked brushing them himself.โYes. I am good. I just needed to water this cactus.โ I said.โDidnโt Kaiser water it this evening? I am sure he did because I was the one who helped him fetch the water.โ He looked at me keenly, his eyes making

Hazelโs POVI was playing with the twins. Kaiser had invented a game and wanted us to join in. It was a fun game. We each had thirty seconds to look around the room then we had to close our eyes. The โleaderโ would then ask us to point out something with a specific color that was in the room. It was fun and challenging at the same time. Between my two children, Kyla was more outspoken. She loved outdoor activities and preferred going to the park rather than staying in the house. Kaiser, on the other hand was an introvert who was very handy. He fixed and broke things in equal measure. โMummy, mummy, someone is at the door.โ Kyla called out. She had gotten bored of our game and had gone to find her dolls and teddy bear.โWho is it?โ I asked as I walked towards the door.โI donโt know. He is carrying a box.โ She answered.Curious, Kaiser trailed behind. I was almost reaching the door when my phone rang in my pocket.โHello.โ I picked it without looking at the caller ID.โDonโt be late.

Hazelโs POVโHow dare you push me? Do you know who I am?โ The woman shouted.โPlease, I beg you in the name of all that is good, leave me alone. I do not want to fight with you.โ I said. She was getting on my last nerve. I had pushed her to get away from her but she had followed me like a fly. I was too tired to argue with a woman who knew nothing about me and was relying on hearsay.โOoh, now you are strong, eeh? You could not fight for yourself, but now you want to fight me? Bring it on whore.โ She said as she moved near. I was not going to stoop so low to her level with the insults and name calling. I wished I had been adamant and stayed at home instead of coming to this party.โYoung woman, the next time you insult my girlfriend, I will kick you so hard you will fall inside the ocean.โ Drake said before taking my hand.โLet nobody mess with my woman. I am not like some cheats here who rejected their mates to be with another woman.โ Drake said loudly.His declaration made me want

Noahโs POVThis was not how I had wanted my next encounter with Hazel to be. I had planned to woo her until she forgave me and agreed to come back home. Now I had gone and messed it up with my big mouth. I had said hurtful things that I could not take back nor erase. She was never going to forgive me. I wanted to blame Drake for provoking me but it was partly my fault for taking the bait. Drake was a crazy werewolf who got off on seeing my suffering. We were sworn enemies and I know I should have ignored him. I would have, if I had not seen him being chummy with Hazel.I could not believe that Hazel had left me for Drake. Didnโt she know who Drake really was? Had she not seen his true colors? I know it was jealousy that was making me behave that way. Hazel was my mate, we had just had a little glitch or something one would call a detour but I was determined to get her back. Destiny was not wrong for putting us together. I was going to win her back no matter what. She belonged to me an

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 favorโฆ..Hazel's POV~โBut mommy, where are you going?โ Kaiser asked, tugging on my gown. Kyle was busy with her dolls and teddy bears in her imaginary tea party. โI'll be back soon. Your dad and I are going somewhereโ I explained just before Noah walked up to us and squatted in front of Kaiser. โHey buddy. You're a man, aren't you?โ He asked, to which Kaiser nodded rather silkily. โAnd is a man supposed to stress his mom?โ He asked. Kaiser shook his head in disapproval. โGood. Mommy and I will be back soon, okay?โโHmph, fine. Will uncle Lucian visit us today?โ He asked.โOf course, buddy. You know we haven't finished our game yet. I still owe you one beat downโ

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 outโฆ..Lucianโs POV~We had finally gotten the damn chest and were on our way home. I was excited to open it but Max stopped meโฆand 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. โItโs so heavy. I wonder what's in it.โ I muttered. โWe'll find out when we get home.โ Max responded, โBut what even led you to go get it by the way?โ 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. โI honestly don't even know. It's just this strong hunch inside me.โ I said, โAlmost like my wolf is forcing me to go get it.โ I said. Max thought about it for a while. โCould 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 inโฆ..Nayaโs POV~โYou ready?โ I asked as I took a glance at her. She looked rather nervous but yet she looked excitedโฆ. almost like a child. โI don't really know. Do I look okay?โ 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. โYou look fineโ I said, โI'm sure your kids are dying to see you. You'll always look great to them no matter what you wearโ โAre you sure?โ She asked. โI'm positiveโ I reassured her. She took a deep breath and finally agreed. โAlright then. Let's go insideโ she said, โI'm ready nowโ.โThat's the spiritโ, 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~โWhy do I feel so uneasy?โ 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. โWho is it?โ 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. โHeyโ she greeted with a smile as she walked in, โSomeone's up earlyโ 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. โWell I could barely get some sleepโ I responded. โReally? Are you alright?โ She asked. โYeah, I'm fineโฆ.I thin

Back at the Jade goddess templeโฆโฆLucian's POV~โI don't know, Max. Don't you think this place could suddenly spit out another round of flames?โ 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. โFor the last time sir and for the love of God, it's not spitting any more flames.โ He said, โWe've already defused itโโSays who? How can you be so sure?โ I asked, and for good reason too. โWho's to say that the builders couldn't have chosen to play a trick on us and just set the trap twice?โ I asked. โWell, 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 suitโฆAnd how the hell did he find me? What did he mean that he Hazel's brother? Hazel never even had a brotherโฆ.at least, I don't remember her ever having one. โCould Noah be behind all that?โ 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 dudeโs scent wasn't anything to close to the both of โem. 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~โWhat's that?โ I asked as I watched him walk past again. โA rock, sirโ he answered, looking at me with confusion written all over his face.โOf course I know it's a rock, you dimwit. I mean what do you plan to use it for?โ I said, smacking my forehead with my palm in frustration. โOh. It's for the tile, sirโ he said and then poised himself for what looked like him trying to play dodgeball with ants. โPlease take a few steps back.โ 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. โWhat do you think you're doing?โ I asked, still curious to know what exactly he thought he was doing. โDisarming the temple, sir. We're gonna place this rock on the tile and see which trap goes off firstโ he said. I didn't even know how to respond, but then again what did I know about all this anyway?โAnd 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!* โShit, it's dusty in hereโ 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. โYou don't sayโ Max responded with a hint of sarcasm as he emerged from the hallway after me. โI do say, actually. The webs here are crazyโ I exclaimed as I tried to get the ones in front of me off. โWell I don't think they are anywhere as crazy as whatever inspired you to drag us hereโ he said. Bro was just unnecessarily spiteful at this point, because why else was he keep trying to make me feel guilty? โSave it, Maxโ I cut him off, โI 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. Nayaโs POV~โWell, that's a shameโ 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. โWow, someone looks sexy todayโ I flattered her as I walked in. She turned back in surprise.โOh, it's youโ she chuckled as she looked back at
