Broken Bonds: I want her back 039
Hazel's POVI wish I could quit. The job paid well but the environment was draining. I was tired of being treated like some whore who did nothing but entertain her boss. I did not understand why Drake could not just leave me alone. I mean there was nothing special about me, why was she so hell-bent on dating me? Was there something I did not know? I knew he and Noah did not see eye to eye. What I did not understand was why he was insisting on pursuing me even after I had told him that Noah did not care about my love life. I did not want to be among the reasons as to why they were fighting. I wanted to keep a low profile and just do my work. Why was it that hard for the two men to leave me alone?I was grateful that the bus was not yet there. I had spent more than ten minutes in the washrooms trying to avoid Drake. I wanted him to leave first and he did so ten minutes after the clocking time. This cat and mouse game was exhausting. Problem was there were no other jobs nearby. It had ta

Noah’s POVI watched as Hazel walked away, for the hundredth time. Lucas was holding her hand and it made me envious. Oh, how I could give up everything just to hold her hand. I had begged for forgiveness but Hazel had been rigid. Resorting to violence and insults was just me projecting my hurt. I did not know how to deal with the constant rejection and heartbreak I was being given. First it was Drake and now it was Lucas. She had even gone ahead and gotten pregnant and had his kids. Why did she hate me? Had the years not erased the hurt I had caused her?I was remorseful for what I had done. I had been stupid and was being led by my manhood at the time. I did not know that rejecting her would cause me so much heartbreak in future.

Chapter 41Hazel’s POVThe drive back home was silent. I did not know what to say and neither did Lucas. He drove quietly, not even a hum could be heard. I was not going to start a conversation because I did not know what to say. I stared at my reflection through the rear view mirror. My reflection stared right back at me. I looked tired and worn out. Noah was stressing me and I did not know who to talk to. I could not tell Lucas, well he knew, but I was not going to discuss another man with him, especially if the said man was his competitor.The silence continued until we arrived at Lucas’s house. He switched off the ignition at the gate. He did not honk at the gateman to open so I was left there wondering what was happening.“We need to talk.” He said while looking at me. We were still in the car but outside the compound.My heart started beating faster. Questions started running through my mind. The first worry was him chasing us out of his house because of the drama that was follo

Chapter 42Hazel’s POVI arrived at the office in time. The previous night had been relaxing. After dinner, we had played games then Lucas had told the children bedtime stories before tucking them in. It had felt like a real family and I wished it were so. I wished Lucas was the one my heart was singing for, we would have made the cutest and best family. But he was not and rejecting him could break his heart. One might say that I was selfish because I was sort of stringing him along but that was not the case. I wanted to love him, I really did but my heart was not into it.As soon as I stepped inside the office I realized that something was terribly wrong. Almost all my colleagues had arrived. The weird thing was that they were not gossiping in groups as they always did every morning before starting to work. Today each and everyone of them was in their seats working or pretending to. The computers were on, the printers were humming and there was no chatter. Coleen, the ‘office walker’

Chapter 43The company was buzzing with noise. People were in groups talking in whispers. Hazel was not part of the group's. She did not even want to join them. The human resource manager had dumped a bunch of files on her desk and she was very busy. She buried her head in the files as soon as she got into the office. She did not want want to associate herself with the gossip milling around. She knew in her heart that it was her they were talking about. Over the past few weeks she had developed a thick skin and was almost not fazed by the talks that were going around. When she entered the office, the whispers had stopped for a bit before starting again after noticing that she did not care. She had walked past the group's without saying a word to any of them. They could place her and her issues on the billboard if they wanted to, as long as they did not interfere with her life and work. It used to bother her when they pointed fingers at her. Now she did not care, ignoring them seemed t

Chapter 44"Now that you know how to gossip and spread news, I am firing you so that you can go and do what you know how to do best. You can spend the rest of your life gossiping and writing posts about people because you have time. You are fired. Get out ofy office." Drake told her. He did not want to lay abhand on her because if he did, he would only stop when she was dead."Boss please. I am so sorry, it was just banters." The lady pleaded with tears streaming down her face."Go and banter outside my company." Drake said. "Please remove her from this premises before I strangle her with my bare hands." Drake told his beta.The lady was dragged shamelessly out of Drake's office. She was crying as he forced her to pack all that belonged to her from the desk. The other employees were silent behind their desks; not even a squeek could be heard from them. They had already gotten a sacrificial lamb, the rest of them were not willing to go through what their fellow had gone through.They w

Sandra's POVI had to call Roxie now that our mole had been ratted out. I blame her, she could have shut her mouth. We would not have been in this predicament had she kept quiet instead of yapping about the mission to her friends. And to expect me to sympathize with her and help her find another job; the audacity! I was kot going to do such a thingm jn fact I had blocked her as soon as I disconnected the call. Let her swim in dirt without involving me. I dialled Roxie's number."Hey girl." I started when she picked the call "Hey my dear. How are you doing?" Roxie asked enthusiastically.We had become some sort of friends because we had a common enemy. We met once a week for dinner or lunch. Mostly it was always on Fridays before ushering in the weekend."I am doing good. I know we are supposed to meet on Friday but I have some news that cannot wait. We need to meet as soon as possible. Are you free today?" I asked before transferring the phone to my other ear."Kind off. But I could

"Are you okay?" Noah asked as he carried Hazel from the room she had been in."My head hurts." Hazel replied. It was the effects of the drug she had inhaled from the handkerchief they had used to cover her mouth with."Sorry about that. I will give you some water when we get to the car." Noah said.Hazel was too nauseous to ask whose car they were going to. Or maybe she did not care and was just glad to have been rescued. She had thought that would wake up and find her lying there, unconscious. She was really grateful for being saved. "Thank you." She mouthed before going unconscious again."You are welcome. Noah said. He smiled a little. This was a sad situation but it had given him a chance to be with Hazel, even if it was for a short time, without any of them raising his or her voice towards the other. This was the first time in years, they were coexisting peacefully. He wished this moment could not end. He wanted to stay in the car with Hazel for as long as he could. But that wa

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
