Broken Bonds: I want her back 067
Chapter 67 Alicia's POV The fact that my meticulously made plans were falling apart was a tough pill to swallow. Noah’s paternity test had brought abut the hitch in my carefully laid strategy. If he were to know anything about Hazel or the kids, the illusion I had created for myself would come down like a pack of cards. Desperation consumed me. I needed something drastic, something to hold onto Noah’s life tighter and make him unbeatable. An undercover meeting with Alpha Drake; devious and unrelenting leader of the neighboring pack was arranged shortly thereafter. Our discussions did not take more than the necessary time period as I had briefed them on the subject matter at hand. Now I needed some type of drug which would leave no trace but would make Noah unconscious for a particular time period. Drake handed me a little vial having a predator’s gleam in his eyes. “This will do the trick,” he said, his voice low with menace. “But be warned, it’s very potent. One drop is enough

Chapter 68Hazel's POV The sun rays streamed through the window curtains and cast an other-worldly shine onto Noah’s face. His chest continuously rose and fell with each breath. A wave of confusion surged through me as I tried to reconstruct the memories of last night. And then the realization slapped me – I was laying on Noah’s mattress!Heat spread across my skin as I struggled to get away from him; it was not easy though since he held me tightly in his body, his breath caressing my skin. “Stay,” he muttered in a hoarse sleepy voice.I felt frozen with no idea what to say next. That night had been an emotional haze, an overwhelming mix of sexual desires and a feeling of guilt. Now here we were, tangled up together after the storm that had brewed up within us a couple of hours ago.“We should talk about this,” his voice spoke stronger now suggesting some form of resolution.Pushing myself slightly back from him, my heart raced in my chest. “There’s nothing to talk about, Noah,” I

Chapter 69:Hazel's POV Noah's house got farther and farther away from me the more I walked away from it and the cold night air hit me right in my face. There was some regret in my mouth like a bitter taste. I had stormed out in a rage, but now in this quiet moment, reason suddenly prevailed. I came to talk about Kyla; I came over to find help not to rekindle burning flames that were already going out - why did I even do all that? My mind swirled with thoughts and ideas, seeking solutions and deliberating what to do next. Going back to Noah wasn't much of an option after what had happened earlier on. I needed someone to share my thoughts with; someone who would simply understand the situation I was going through. It occurred to me that only Lucas could help me out of this mess. He had always been there for me amidst this turmoil anyway so I could count on him for support. With renewed determination, I flagged down a cab and stepped in. The ride to Lucas’s house seemed like a

Chapter 70:Hazel's POV He turned to me with a smile on his face when I got into the room. “Morning,” he said, handing me a cup of coffee.I took the cup and our fingers brushed. A spark caught us both—caught me even more probably because it was that electric and dreadful (if that's the right word).“Thanks,” I managed, as I sipped from the mug.We stood silent, the clock ticking away; the only thing that made any sound in the room at this moment was the clock - were it not for it, I'm sure my heartbeat would have been audible too! The intimacy shared by sharing coffee in this small space stood in sharp contrast when compared to yesterday’s chaos.“How are you feeling now?” Drake broke the silence at last “Better? I was kinda worried about you last night” he said. I nodded, my heart softened by his words. He was so caring. We talked about a couple of trivial stuff such as the weather and some other things just to keep the conversation going for a while…. We both could feel the

Chapter 71Noah’s POV I felt as if a freight train had hit me. Alicia, my private doctor, the only woman I confided on health matters, had drugged me. It was a hard nut to crack. My head was in turmoil trying to cogitate on any possible reasons that might bring clarity. How could she do this? Why did she?Liam, my assistant stood in front of me and the look on his face was not a very good one. "Alpha, we found the drug in your system", he said with an accusing tone. "It’s a powerful sedative which is able to knock out even werewolves.”Anger rose within me like a storm in the ocean. Alicia, a woman who I had opened my heart to, betrayed my trust in such a cruel and insensitive manner. “I need to know why she did that” I thought aloud as I got to my feet. Gesturing to Liam, we left to find her. A few moments later>>>>>>>>>I found her in her office where she put up an innocuous face. Her serenity stood in stark contrast to my inner chaos.“Alicia,” I began with a low voice laden

CHAPTER 72:Noah's POV~I watched Hazel leave the room in tears. Her back was straight; her shoulders were rigid. I could not believe it. She had actually slapped me. I had never been hit by a woman before, not even by my mother. It felt strange; like a cold slap to my ego.“You shouldn’t have done that,” said Liam in a calm but firm voice.I looked at him with a glare in my gaze that was enough to make him know that I wasn't in the mood for his advice. “What did I do wrong?” I asked, “I only said that it wasn't right for her to leave the kids at home without supervision…”Liam shook his head, “She is trying her best Noah. She is stressed and worried now. Right now, what she needs is for us to be there for her, not to judge her.”I sighed. Liam was right as usual but it was hard for me to watch Hazel struggling so much, especially knowing that I could do a lot to help her. She just wasn't willing to open up to me.‘You’ve always been nothing but a deadbeat dad’, Hazel's spiteful words

Chapter 73: Hazel's POV~“Dammit” I muttered as I checked the bills in the mailbox. The weight of the bills was clearly weighing down on me. Kyla’s medical bills were like an endlessly high mountain, and every single time I thought that I had climbed to the top of it, I would end up seeing another peak! I was juggling three jobs, working from dawn till dusk; yet all this work seemed pointless; it was like trying to fill a bottomless pit. The more I earned, the more the bills grew. I was starting to feel really tired of everything. Of course I was a strong woman but there was only so much I could bare. I stole a glance at Kyla who lay curled up on the couch with a pale complexion and slightly sunken features. Her delicate body that used to be so full of life had now lost its strength and had become weak. Of course I felt terrible seeing her that way but what could I do about it? She had literally been discharged from the hospital just yesterday.“Mom,” Kaiser tugged at my sleeve, his

Chapter 74Hazel's POV~The disbelief I felt when I stared at my bank statement is something that is difficult to explain. It had an astronomical balance, enough to pay for all of Kyla’s hospital bills and settle a whole lot of other stuff! “But where did it come from?” I asked the bank teller behind the counter.“From an foreign anonymous bank account” she said, in her typical formal voice “The money was deposited in your account by 8:30 this morning” she continued. I was confused and found it hard to comprehend what was going on. I had come to the bank this morning to transfer part of Kyla's hospital bill to the hospital only to be met with this strange news; some random person had sent half a million dollars to my bank account this morning. Overcome with mixed feelings of confusion, suspicion, and deep appreciation, I transferred all of Kyla's bill to the hospital and called the hospital to confirm the transaction. The hospital confirmed the payment and told me to come over late

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
