Broken Bonds: I want her back 059
/-Drake-/I walked into the building with a sullen mood. As usual, I found myself glancing at her desk, hoping for the sake of my sanity that she came in today but reality slapped me in the face. Her desk was empty. She didn't come in. With my mood ruined, I sank into my chair, trying to distract myself with the office files but I found my mind drifting to her once again.Her gorgeous smile haunted me. Even as I stared at the documents, I could see nothing. All I could think about was her and how she clouded my senses effortlessly. I understood why Noah couldn't let her go. Hazel was everything and more. I shut the files, unable to fool myself any further and released my tie. I poured myself a drink but the whiskey tasted nothing like the relief I needed. I had to see her, else I was confident I would lose my mind. Dropping the glass, I got off the seat and walked out of my office. As I entered my car, I took a deep breath and tried to give it a second thought.What was I even

Alicia's POV Infiltrating the pack as Dr. Alice Miller, a seasoned physician with a fabricated resume boasting experience with rare neurological conditions, was exhilarating. It felt like I was playing a high-stakes game of chess, constantly two moves ahead. Every stolen glance at Noah during his ‘examinations’ fueled my determination. There was something undeniably captivating about him, an aura of shadowed intensity that hinted at a depth of emotions beneath the surface. It reminded me daily of why I fell for him. My days were a whirlwind of consultations, concocting harmless placebos, and enduring Liam’s thinly veiled suspicion. Noah’s ever-present beta was a bulldog of a man, built like a tank and with a perpetually furrowed brow. He distrusted me from the moment I stepped into the pack’s territory. One evening, after a particularly grueling session mimicking a neurological workup, Liam cornered me in the empty infirmary.“You’re playing a dangerous game, Doc,” h

Lucian’s POV The afternoon sun bled through the beautifully leaded windows of my study, casting a warm glow on the leather armchair I occupied. Papers sprawled across the dark-brown desk before me, testaments to the never-ending work that weighed down a pack leader. Yet, even with the weight of responsibility pressing down on me, a sliver of hope flickered within. Max, my ever-reliable beta, barged into the room, his usual confused outlook replaced by an uncharacteristic grin. " Alpha Lucian," he boomed, his voice echoing, "I think I've found the answer." I straightened in my chair, intrigued. Max wasn't exactly the type to play games but neither was he so serious either. "The answer to what exactly?" "Your sister's situation," he clarified, his grin widening. "We have a contender." Hazel. The mere mention of her name sent a throb through my chest. Years of searching had finally led me to her, but a cruel twist of fate—security reasons stemming from a past

Lucas's POVLaughter filled the air, a welcome sound that chased away the usual tension that clung to our dinner table like a cobweb ever since Kyla fell sick.Hazel, across from me, tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her smile as warm as the candlelight flickering in the centerpiece. It had been a good day, a quiet day spent at home, a clear contrast to the usual fast pace of life."So," I began, reaching for her hand across the table, "you mentioned not being too thrilled about your job at Drake's company.”She squeezed my hand briefly. "It wasn't a bad job, Lucas, but…" Her voice trailed off, and I could sense the unspoken words hanging in the air. " You know about Kyla’s health and how Alpha Drake was stressing me.”Relief washed over me. The thought of her working under Drake, a man who clearly had designs on her, pissed me. "Well," I boomed, trying to mask my eagerness, "let's find you something new then. Somewhere closer to home, maybe and less stressful if that's ok

Lucas's POV The venom in Amelia's words echoed in the night air, each syllable a fresh blow. My world had tilted on its axis, the carefully constructed facade of my life with Hazel crumbling around me. Adrenaline surged through my veins, a primal urge to chase after Amelia and undo the damage she'd inflicted.But a more pressing concern clawed at me – Hazel. The raw pain in her eyes, the flicker of betrayal that replaced the warmth that had been there just moments ago, sent a jolt of terror through me. I had to find her, to explain, to somehow salvage this mess.With a muttered curse, I slammed the door shut, the sound a hollow punctuation mark to the scene that had just unfolded. My gaze scanned the backyard, frantic and searching. Relief washed over me as I spotted her silhouette on the swing set, a solitary figure bathed in the pale moonlight.She sat with her back to me, arms wrapped around her knees, a picture of utter desolation. My heart hammered a frantic rhythm against

Hazel's POV Relief washed over me like a tidal wave as I drove away from Lucas's house, the rearview mirror filled with the image of his retreating figure on the porch. But despite the lightness in my chest, guilt gnawed at the edges of my conscience. My anger, the way I lashed out… it felt unjustified.The truth was, Lucas hadn't cheated. We weren't in a relationship, not officially. My mixed signals, the way I kept him at arm's length while clinging to the ghost of a past love… it all led to this mess. He craved clarity, commitment, and I, well, I was a walking contradiction. Part of me resented myself for being such a jerk. He genuinely cared, that much was evident. Yet, the thought of staying, of trying to rebuild trust… it felt like navigating a minefield. We were both tangled in a web of unresolved issues, and untangling them together seemed daunting at best, impossible at worst. A choked sob escaped my lips. This wasn't about pride. It was about survival, about pro

Hazel's POV Walking into the supermarket, Kaiser seemed more excited than I had expected. It had been a while since I took him shopping. The items on display came in various shades which made the shelves look more appealing. The Kaiser who I knew was very excited, still stood besides me without making demands. “ Kaiser, you can pick out five items you really want. You don't have to hold back,” I crouched down and patted his head. “ Really? Is that really alright?” He looked at me with sparkling eyes. “ Sure, feel free,” I chuckled before giving him a reassuring smile. “ Thank you, mommy,” he flashed the broadest smile I had seen him put on before. Kaiser has always been mature and it wasn't surprising that he was aware of our financial standing. We weren't poor or things like that, we were simply in a position where priorities were more important. My bills kept multiplying which meant that luxuries had to be put aside and the one who suffers from it most is Kaiser. “ Don

These words came down on me like some physical blow; my knees bent, and everything around seemed to move on uneven ground. I fell on the ground with my head spinning as I tried understanding this most terrible thing. Kaiser was crying hard, breathing through his tiny torso in gasps and hiccups. I had to be strong for Kaiser and Kyla. I shouldn't be an emotional mess, how else was I supposed to comfort them if I couldn't get my act right?Kaiser was sobbing, his small body racked with sobs. I reached out to him, pulling him into my arms, offering what little comfort I could. “It’s okay, Kaiser,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “It’s okay.” He must have been scared seeing his sister in such a terrible state. He was in such a traumatising situation and yet he was able to respond appropriately - he was a lot stronger than most adults.A while later, the doctor came out of the room with a serious face. “She’s stabilised for now,” he said in a soft voice. “But she is unconscious;

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
