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.

    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

    Noah's POVWe watched as Hazel and the little girl walked away with the little girl. They were in a hurry. And it made me wonder why. Why had Lucas, her kids' father not accompanied her to the hospital? This was a very renowned private hospital, how was she able to afford that and who was sick? I had to find out all these things that were bugging me; my curious mind could not let go. I know what Theo would have told me; let her go, and stop worrying about her life, she is not yours. And I would ignore him and do my own investigation just as I was about to do. "Uncle, I will marry that girl." Theo's little boy said abruptly. He had been silent throughout the gazing and staring.I was shocked. Why on earth would she say something like that? He had only met the girl once and they had not even spoken, how did he know that he was going to marry her?"What did you say?" I asked. I had heard him but I wanted him to repeat just to be sure that he knew what he was talking about. Kids said wei

    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
