Broken Bonds: I want her back 021
Chapter 21Drake’s 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. Didn’t 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?“Come in.” 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.“What is it that you want that cannot wait until I am done? Have you forgotten about my rule?” I asked. “And you better have a good explanation.” I hated being interrupted because I had specific time allocated to specific things.“I am sorry sir but it’s…” Someone pushed her and she almost fell down.“You fool, how dare you call the security on me? Don’t you know who I am?“ It was Roxie. Now I unde

Hazel’s POVI was going through the rest of the files I had been given when the woman that was in Drake’s 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 don’t 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. “Stay very far away from Drake. You do not want me as an enemy.” 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.“Hello Hazel.” Drake called. This was barely five minutes after his guest had left.“Good morning sir. Do you need any
Broken Bonds: I want her back 023
Hazel’s 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 Kyla’s 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 Drake’s 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. “Are you okay? You barely st
Broken Bonds: I want her back 024
Hazel’s POVThe children had already gone to sleep. I had cleaned the utensils we had used and was now watering Kaiser’s 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.“You have been in there for quite some time, are you sure you are okay?” Lucas asked me for the second time when he came by the children’s room to bring their school shoes. He liked brushing them himself.“Yes. I am good. I just needed to water this cactus.” I said.“Didn’t Kaiser water it this evening? I am sure he did because I was the one who helped him fetch the water.” He looked at me keenly, his eyes making
Broken Bonds: I want her back 025
Hazel’s 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 ‘leader’ 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. “Mummy, mummy, someone is at the door.” Kyla called out. She had gotten bored of our game and had gone to find her dolls and teddy bear.“Who is it?” I asked as I walked towards the door.“I don’t know. He is carrying a box.” She answered.Curious, Kaiser trailed behind. I was almost reaching the door when my phone rang in my pocket.“Hello.” I picked it without looking at the caller ID.“Don’t be late.

Hazel’s POV“How dare you push me? Do you know who I am?” The woman shouted.“Please, I beg you in the name of all that is good, leave me alone. I do not want to fight with you.” 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.“Ooh, now you are strong, eeh? You could not fight for yourself, but now you want to fight me? Bring it on whore.” 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.“Young woman, the next time you insult my girlfriend, I will kick you so hard you will fall inside the ocean.” Drake said before taking my hand.“Let nobody mess with my woman. I am not like some cheats here who rejected their mates to be with another woman.” Drake said loudly.His declaration made me want
Broken Bonds: I want her back 027
Noah’s 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. Didn’t 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

Chapter 28Hazel’s POVI was having a hard time concentrating at work. My head was aching from worrying about a lot of things. I wished I could just disappear with my kids and go to a secluded place. I hated attention because when people paid close attention to you, they found one or two things that were bad about you. I did not want the scrutiny that came with being close to the boss. I had wanted to talk to him about it but thought against it. There was no use, I would just lay low, do my work and go home to my kids. There was no use in stirring the pot.That was what I had been doing, laying low, until Drake approached me.“Hello Hazel. I need to talk to you now. Follow me to my office.’ He said when he found me in the kitchen. The evening was hot and I was getting a bottle of water from the fridge before going home. I had had a constant headache for two days now. I did not want to ask for an off day for fear of rumors spreading and people pointing fingers about something as simpl

Noah's POV~“What do you mean?” I asked as I got to my feet, staggering a little. I certainly didn't expect him to have grown so large in such a short time without any water around. “What do I mean? Don't tell me you aren't feeling a bit numb yet” he said. As soon as he said it, I felt my body go limp. I could barely stand and my vision had become rather hazy. I could barely feel my body. “W-what’s happening?” I asked, “What did you do to me?”He laughed diabolically; “Two words Noah; Wolf’s Bane” My eyes widened in surprise. Wolf's Bane? How? When?“That's not possible” I responded, “We haven't even met in months before now. There's no way you could have poisoned me. What did you do to me? Huh?” I barked. “Stop being so pathetic Noah. It's not a good look for you” He said tauntingly. Something was wrong. I could feel it. If it truly was poison, then how did he get it to me? A cut from a claw slash, maybe?“I didn't think you'd be so naive to not understand that I don't necessaril

Like a huge fireball flying through the night sky, Noah scans the area for Drake and Hazel. They're almost nowhere to be found and he decides to land on one of the buildings and reverts to human form to prevent garnering unnecessary attention from the city below…..Noah's POV~“Damnit! I can't believe he got away” I punched the ledge of the building. I peered into the darkness around but there was no sign of the bastard nor Hazel. “He better not lay a finger on her or else…..” I growled when suddenly my phone rang. I picked it up only to see my beta's number float across the screen. “Hello?” I answered as soon as I picked up. “Sir, are you alright? I just heard what happened” he said with a bit of panic in his voice. “Relax, I've got it under control” I responded, “It's not really a big deal. I just have to put him in his place. It's been a long time coming to be honest” I said. “Should I send backup? We don't know what the fool is planning?” He said. “His pack ain't wit

With Hazel in his arms, Drake manages to maneuver his way through the maze of the cityscape, jumping between skyscrapers till he finds somewhere to hide, on the top of one of the highrise buildings. Hazel's POV~“Urghh!” I groaned as I tried to wriggle my way out his grip. I kept hitting and punching and biting but it all seemed futile. He was way too strong. I hated the sight of staring down at the city as he leaped between ridiculously tall skyscrapers. “Let go of me!” I yelled, biting his arm again and accidentally choking on his fur. “You're gonna die if I let go” he said as we streaked through the night sky. I was scared of heights - freaking scared of it! I gulped, realizing the reality of his words. I was so hellbent on him letting go of me that I didn't really put much thought into what would happen afterwards. I kept quiet, feeling a weird mix of annoyance and embarrassment. We soon landed on one of the buildings. He looked around and Noah was nowhere to be fou

Drake's POV~“Stop!!!” A shrill scream came from behind me, catching our attention. I looked behind me only to see Hazel. How did she find us? “Hazel?” Noah responded in surprise as he lowered his hand. “How did you…..”“It doesn't matter” she responded to him and then looked at me. The look in her eyes was that of a weird mix of hate, disappointment and disgust. “Where are my kids?” She asked. “You better not have laid a finger on them” she threatened. For some reason I felt weak as I watched her speak. As much as I wanted to deny it, I actually did really like her - a lot. Of course, I initially went after her to get back at Noah for stealing my mate - but I guess I ended up catching feelings for her. It pricked my heart to see her glare at me the way she was doing now. But it was probably too late to make amends now - I had to finish what I had started.“Your kids are safe.” I responded, “You should know I wouldn't do anything to them” I said. “Says the person who kidnapped them

Under the heavy storm, Hazel's car can be seen driving down a lonely road. She is frantically trying to keep herself from losing her composure any further. Where is she going?Hazel's POV~I felt like my head would blow up at any minute. My kids and their safety were all I could think about. “That jerk better not lay a finger on my babies” I growled as I stepped on the gas.Not long after, my phone rang. Driiiinng! Driiiinng!I picked it up and took a look; it was the principal. “Hello?” I picked up. “Oh thank goodness. I've been trying to reach you. Where are you? The cops are here” she said. “I'm on my way to the culprit's location. He called my hu…..” my mouth froze up for a second. That was weird. Why did I want to call Noah my husband? “Hello? Are you still there?”“Huh? Yes yes” I snapped out of my thoughts. This wasn't the time for any stupid thoughts. “The culprit called my husband to meet him somewhere. I'm currently tracking my husband's phone” I said. “Really?

As the heavy torrents wash over the junkyard, Drake stares pitifully at the limp body of Noah, who lays helpless on the ground…..Drake's POV~Panting heavily while I stared down at him, I didn't know if what I felt was pity or disgust. I certainly didn't like his guts one bit but still, killing him when he was this weak didn't seem worth it to me. I hated that he didn't put up much of a fight. I wanted to vent my anger - I wanted to pour it all out… who would have thought he would be this weak now?“After all the big game you talked, I expected you to put up more of a fight. Looks like you won't get to see your kids after all” I taunted him with a chuckle. I wanted to piss him off. I could tell that he was holding back and I didn't like it. It felt condescending - like he didn't take me as a serious opponent. I shook my head in pity and began to walk away. Suddenly I heard him speak up and I turned around only to see him on his feet again, though his stance was rather feeble

Noah's POV~My hands clutched the steering wheel firmly as my mind went through all manner of things I would do to that bastard if he touched my kids. I certainly wasn't going to hesitate to end his miserable existence. Like what kind of coward uses kids as bait? Driiiinng! Driiiinng! My phone rang yet again. Hazel certainly wasn't helping with all the calls she was spamming me with. I took a look at the phone again. I wanted to answer this time but I was already close to where Drake wanted us to meet. I dismissed the call and called Drake instead. “Hello,” I spoke up.“Yes, where are you?” he asked. “I just arrived at the outskirts of the city. There's nothing here - just a couple of abandoned buildings” I answered, “My kids better not be here” I warned with a growl lacing my voice. “Your kids are safe - for now” he responded, “Anyway, come over to the abandoned junkyard. I'll be waiting for you there” he said before hanging up. I sighed and shook my head. I knew this wasn't goi

CHAPTER THREE: A black SUV can be seen parked outside an elementary school building. In it, Alpha Drake can be seen seated in the driver's seat with a pair of shades on. The expression on his face displays the calculative thoughts going through his head. What's he doing here?>>>>>>>>Drake’s POV~‘Why is he taking so long?’ I thought as I stared at my phone yet again. Finally my phone rang. “Hello?” I answered, “Are you done yet?” I asked. “Yes sir. I took a while to get any traces of AI out” Hazel's voice responded. A smirk appeared on my face. It sounded just like her. “How is it sir? Convincing enough?”“It's perfect” I responded to him. “Make sure to use this voice when I call you back, got it?” “Got it, sir” he responded before I hung up. It was show time. I checked myself in a mirror a bit and then got out of the car. It was almost closing hours and I was about to go pick Hazel's kids up. I'm a good friend, right?Walking into the school premises, I got to the hallway. I

Hazel's POV~Thud! Slamming the door behind me, I went and sat down on the couch. I was super tired. “Hmph!” I sighed, tilting my head backwards over the headrest. “What happened? Why didn't Drake give you a lift?” Layla asked as she emerged from the kitchen in her nightgown with two cups of tea in her hands. “Why didn't you give me a lift even when I asked?” I answered her with another question. “Oh come on. You know I couldn't leave the kids here alone. At least I sent an Uber. That counts doesn't it?” She smiled awkwardly as she handed me a cup of tea. I took a sip and as usual, she added too much milk. “Well I guess so” I shrugged as I took another sip. She sat beside me yet facing me and her eyes began to glow with a familiar glint; a glint that meant only one thing - she was in gossip mode. “So tell me everything. What happened between you and Drake?” She asked, leaning forward. “Not tonight Layla. I'm tired” I responded. I knew she wouldn't take my response seriously. Sh
