Noah’s POV

This 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 POVI was in my office trying to concentrate on the monthly report I had been given by my beta. Ever since my wolf started misbehaving, he had been the one taking care of most pack affairs. He had forced me to take a back seat after I almost beat a pack member to death. He had brought me the wrong pair of shoes. My beta knew that if he did not take over, then the pack members would notice and there would be chaos. Some would take advantage of my situation and use it to try and overthrow me. You could never trust power thirsty wolves.A lot of things were running through my mind. Why was the private investigator I had hired taking so long? Hazel was just one person with little to no social life, what was taking him so long? Had he found something incriminating against Hazel? I was still mulling over Hazel’s issue when I heard a knock on the door.“Come in.” I said before closing the file I had been perusing. It was the private investigator.“Good day Alpha.” He greeted.“What to

    Hazel’s POVThe day had favored me. First, Drake had been a no show at the office which meant I could breathe and work without anxiously looking at his office door all the time. I did not have to be on high alert and that made me happy. Second, my colleagues, the ones who did not like me, were too busy to bother me. Apparently there was going to be a company auditing next week-they had not been doing their work properly and were working tirelessly to remedy that. I, on the other hand, had been doing my work diligently and had no reason to worry.It was time to go home but most of my colleagues were still working. I did not envy them at all, it was their cross to carry. I picked my handbag, cleared my work station and walked past the angry, hungry and tired faces with a spring on my steps. Some raised their heads just to scowl at me. Like it was my fault they spent their time telling stories and gossiping instead of doing what they had been hired to do. I ignored their sour faces; noth

    Noah’s POVHow dare she? I had tried all I could to woo her back but she was proving difficult. Why then had she told me that she had forgiven me when she still holds a grudge bigger than the mountain? Two men! First it was Drake and now Lucas. Did she love Drake? Was that why she was refusing to quit her job even after my generous offer? Why would she juggle between two men? Did they not know of the existence of each other? I had lots of questions that needed answers. Who was going to answer them though?Hazel had hurt me and was continuing to hurt me by her actions. The friendly kids, going by their scents, were Hazel’s children. Being near Hazel for more than five minutes had enabled to take in her scent, it was familiar, warm and inviting. I wanted her, my wolf wanted her. We yearned for her. But she was adamant and also had other men eating on her hands. I could bet my whole pack that they were enamored with her. She was a beauty. I had to find a means to heal my heart. Being rej

    Sandra’s POVThis was the nth time he was rejecting me. I had tried today, even wore my best lingerie but he still rejected me. I had done something different: caught him when he was most vulnerable but still the results were negative. I had to find another strategy to make him worship my feet and want to drink from my well. I was a woman and women had to have other tricks up their sleeves. I needed several plans so that if one backfired then I would resort to the other plans. I also needed to give my informant a raise. He had served me well and was continuing to do so, hence making me proud and giving me the upper hand when it came to Noah.Talking of upper hands, I loathed Hazel. Even after all these years, why did she still have a hold on him? What was it that she was doing that I could not do? She had even escaped and became a rogue werewolf but Noah still followed her ass. I hated her with everything I had and I was going to make sure that she failed in winning Noah’s heart. I di

    Hazel’s POVI loved the weekends. It was my time to recharge and get to bond with my kids. It was fulfilling, especially on Saturdays, to just chill and watch my kids be. Ever since we moved in with Lucas, they seemed happy. Kaiser was opening up like a beautiful flower. Kyla’s laughter was loud and joyful. She was always in a good mood. Their physical appearance had changed too. They were almost outgrowing all their clothes. I needed to start budgeting for new and fitting clothes for them. Now that I could afford to save because of Lucas, I was going to get them a few pricey clothes and some pairs of shoes. Maybe I could get something for myself too.Today was a good day. I had enjoyed spending time with Kaiser and Kyla. We had started the day with breakfast and then read some books before going to the park for two hours. I loved going to the pack: the fresh air allowed me to think and strategize about the new week. It was in the park that I mulled over and made my decisions. I would

    Hazel’s POVI woke up before my alarm rung. I had had a difficult time sleeping; I kept tossing and turning in bed. The conversation I had had with Lucas the previous night kept replaying itself in my mind. Was that how he saw me? Did he think that I did not want to move because I liked Drake? How wrong! I did not like Drake. In fact I did not want to entangle myself with any man. Men did nothing but break your heart, they rejected you and left you to care for two kids on your own. You did not know where you stood with men like Drake. They were always alternating between being cold and hot. I did not want that for myself.Lucas was just jealous and I understood him. He felt like he was losing me to Drake which was not the case. Seeing Noah follow me around was also making his heart ache. And I was sorry for all of that. It was not my intentions to hurt anyone, well except Noah. I wanted Noah to feel the pain he had caused me several years ago. I just hoped that I would not lose myself

    Hazel’s POVI went straight to the washroom. I opened one stall at a time to confirm whether they were occupied or not. I did not want to answer questions from anyone while in the washroom. After making sure that nobody was any of the stalls, I entered the one in the middle. I needed to think and it was not going to happen in the busy office. I had to try and find another way to stop Drake from sending me flowers, offering to drop me at home or pick me up, buying me lunch and insinuating that we might be together. His actions made it difficult for me to exist in the office. I did not want to quit because, for the first time in a long time, I was working a job with a decent pay.I don’t know how long I had stayed in the toilet thinking but I was brought back to the present when someone entered the toilet beside me. I stood from the toilet seat, opened the door and got out. I did not even wash my hands for fear of being found at the sink. I hurriedly walked back to my desk and started f

    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
