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

Hazel was still trembling in fear even after they had left the hotel. She could not believe that had it not been Noah, she would have been assaulted terribly and probably killed. She tried to get it off her mind but it was impossible. She also tried not to cry but that was also impossible as tears burst their banks as soon as she sniffled. Her life was really at risk. She had assumed that the threats were just bluffs; she did not expect them to be actualized. The more she thought about what would have happened to her, the more tears streamed down her face. She was grateful even in her fear. Noah had been there just in time to save her. Had it not been for him… she shook her head to avoid thinking of what would have been her fate. Noah did not know what to do with her. Ever since they had known each other, even before the kids, there was no day where they had just sat together peacefully. There were always some emotions swirling around them. Noah moved close to her and pulled her into

Hazel's POVI hurriedly walked towards the door. I had not bothered to bid Noah bye and I did not care. All I wanted to see were my kids. I knew Noah had saved me and I should have shown my gratitude but at the moment that was not a priority. I would offer him one later. He should have, however, taken me home to my kids. I had never spent a night away from them and I was worried. Lucas was a good friend but I should not have left them with him alone. I just hoped that they had not given Lucas a hard time. I would deal with the trauma of being kidnapped later so I shoved it at the back of my mind the way I did things that stressed me. It was not the first time I was postponing my grief. I had, in fact never mourned the death of my brief relationship with Noah. I was still waiting for the right time, which between juggling work and taking care of the kids, never came. There was no time for pity party. I had had to man up and be the responsible and reliable parent my children needed. May

Hazel's POVKaiser takes long to wake up and brush his teeth. And since I cannot leave him, I decide to shoot the human resource a text to inform him that I will not be coming in. In the text, I tell him that my daughter is sick and I am with her at the hospital. I also call Kaiser's school and ask for a sick day for both of them. After that, I help Kaiser put on his home clothes before we dash out of the house. I thank the moon for the Uber driver who understands my urgency to arrive at the hospital faster. Fate is also ony side because we encounter less traffic on our way. The road to the hospital is clear. Kaiser looks at me worriedly before asking."Mommy, where were you last night?" His voice echoes through the car."I was at work my dear." I lied with a straight face. He would not understand even if I told him what had happened. I did not want the trauma I had experienced to get to him. "I am so sorry baby boy for leaving you alone with uncle Lucas." I said as I hugged him. He

Lucas's POVI was not going to let Hazel speak to Noah and tell him that the twins were his. It was a selfish move but I did not care. Those were my children by virtue of being there for them. It annoyed me that Hazel had started getting close to him. I did not want to believe the kidnapping story but Hazel had never lied to me ever since I knew her. What annoyed me the most was that she still had his scent all over her. I knew it was not Drake's scent; I had been around him enough to distinguish the two scents. This meant that she had slept in Noah's house and was cooking up stories about a kidnap. Now that Kyla was sick and in need of blood, Noah was bound to show up and I definitely did not want that. If he showed up and got to know that the kids were his, he was going to take Hazel and the kids with him. The Noah I knew would fight for custody if Hazel denied him a chance to be with his kids. The fighting in court would drain Hazel and the kids and I did not want that. There was

Hazel's POVIt had been two days since the transfusion happened. My daughter was looking good; her colour had returned and her cheeks were rosy. She was ready to be discharged. I was ready to go home, staying in the hospital was tiring. I did not know where Lucas had gotten the blood, and I did not want to ask. I was very grateful for the fact that he had done all he could to help a child that was not his. Lucas was a good man, there was no debate about that. I was going to repay him for all the good he had done for me and my children. He had continued to help despite being mad at me for sleeping at Noah's. We had not talked about that because we were busy taking care of our patient. I hoped to find time and broach the subject to him, just not at the moment. He had taken Kaiser home and left me to deal with the doctor. My daughter was holding my hand as we walked to the doctor's office to get her discharge letter and her file. Lucas had already paid for everything; I had wanted to pa

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
