CHAPTER 22: The scene opens with Noah and Ken walking back to the car. In a last minute decision, Noah decided to abort the mission without offering any explanation as to why. Ken was rather displeased. He really wanted to get his hands on Drake's pack. Noah's POV~Clip! Clop! Clip! Clop!....The sound of our footsteps quickly blended into the symphony of the city’s nightlife as we walked out into the main street. With both hands in my pockets, I looked around the city as I walked slowly. I still couldn't tell why I called off the mission so prematurely. We didn't even get to start. “I still think we could have taken them on,” Ken said, his voice rather annoyed that we didn't eventually do anything. I didn't respond - I didn't feel the need to, at least. My mind was plagued by other stuff like exactly where Hazel was; because I had a hunch that she wasn't in there. I've known Hazel for ages - I know her scent, her aura, I know everything about her. If she was in that mansion,
CHAPTER 23: A couple of black SUVs can be seen speeding across the road. Inside them are Alpha Lucian and his men. They have tracked Hazel's coordinates and are proceeding to go get her back.Lucian's POV~“How far away are we now?” I asked Max, who immediately stared down at his laptop screen. “About five minutes away sir” he responded. Five minutes?! Why was it still so far away?“Then tell the men to speed up, dammit! We don't have all day” I barked. “Calm down sir. Just be patient. We're almost there” he answered. I ran my fingers back through my hair in frustration. Nothing better have happened to Hazel or else there would be hell to pay….for everyone!In a couple of minutes the motorcade drew to a halt and the men got out. “We’re here sir” Max said as he closed his laptop and opened his door. “Well it's about time” I mumbled as I opened the door and got out of the car. “Lead the way. Let's get my sister back pronto” I ordered the men. “Yessir!” They echoed as we commen
CHAPTER 24: Lucian and his men have barged into Serena's residence. They certainly mean business with the look they've got on their faces. On the floor lay Serena and her lackey, Gerald. They lay face first on the floor and it's clear that they are heavily outmatched….Serena's POV~ Clip! Clip! Clip! Clop!....I heard the heavy footsteps stop right in front of me. My mind raced with tons of thoughts as I tried to figure out who the hell was behind this. I couldn't recognize their scent so they certainly weren't from Drake's pack - or my pack to be precise. And they sure didn't smell like Noah's pack. Could they be feds? Shit! Maybe they were able to tell that I kidnapped someone. But how did they figure it out so quickly? And how did they get my location? Something definitely wasn't right about all this. I could feel it. “Who are you and where is my sister?” a strange deep baritone resonated in my ears. I slowly raised my head up and took a look at the person standing in front
Noah smiled at me, his smile so beautiful. It was just like I have always Imagined, only that his smile didn't just warm my heart, it tipped me down there. Five years of admiring and crushing on him secretly and today, he finally realised my existence. Not only that, he was in my room, giving me that killer smile. I couldn't control my feelings anymore seeing that I have kept them bottled up all this time.Why was he in my room? I didn't have the slightest idea but that didn't matter. He was here with me, that was everything to me. I didn't even dare to ask because I feared that that would drive him away.I gave him my best smile and walked towards him.Noah took unhurried steps towards me, stopping just about a few inches before me. He then took my hand, placed a gentle kiss on it. I felt tingly all through my body and my eyes felt teary with emotions. It's finally happening, each of my fantasies. Noah had kissed me. This was like a dream come true.I smiled at him and he bent h
Watching the damn pregnancy test for the humpteeth time, I don't know if I should cry or scream with joy. I am pregnant. But how? We only did it once! It was a mistake, or so he called it. Noah was fucking drunk that night when he came knocking on my door. After turning eighteen, I found out that he was my mate, just like I had prayed. I was over the moon but he didn't share the same excitement. He even warned me not to breathe a word about the news of being mates to anyone. I did as he instructed, hoping that he would come to wrap his mind around the fact that I was his fated mate and accept me. When he arrived at my doorstep reeking of alcohol, I welcomed him. When he kissed me Possessive, I kissed him back and when he spread my legs and settled between them, I spread them wider for him, granting him access to my treasure. Noah made love passionately to me that night but the next morning, my heart was shattered into a million pieces by his words. I had tried hugging him
I froze, blood draining from my face before my anger slowly crept to every nerve of my being. Seeing that bitch standing proudly next to my mate with a smile on her face, all I wanted to do was march to her and skin her alive. Before I could control myself, I was before her, a crisp slap echoing through the room. Gasps filled the room as Serena's eyes widened with surprise, a dangerous going flickering through her eyes. “ Are you crazy?” Noah roared, his eyes flashing between red and black, showing that his wolf was struggling to take control. “ I should be asking you that. Are you crazy? How dare you bring this woman here?” I spat, my anger flaring just seeing her ugly face. Seeing her reminded me of the past, the past I fought so hard to forget. “ Who do you think you are to question who I bring here? Let me remind you in case you forgot. I am the Alpha of this pack and I get to do what the fuck I want.” Noah's face was painted with fury and I could see I had managed to anger
Chapter 4Serena's evil voice had me snapping my neck to face her. She had an evil smile on her face and I could clearly tell she was up to something. She then walked to me, her body hovering above mine where I laid. I looked around in panic only to realise that I was in the hospital. I tried to push her away, get her ugly face out of sight but she seemed to have anticipated my move and gripped the headboard. Being an alpha blood, she was obviously stronger than an omega like me and she didn't hesitate to flaunt it on my face with an evil smirk. “ A fox can't wrestle with an elephant. You should know your place.” She sneered at me.I hated being compared to a fox and I hated it even more that she was stronger than me“ What do you want?" I asked warily as I remained defenceless against her. I was vulnerable with how weak my body felt after the punishment.“ Now that's an interesting question.What do I want?" She repeated, a grin spreading on her face. " What could I possibly wa
Noah's povSitting in my office, I can't help but think about those Hazel eyes which have been haunting me in the past five years. Five years of separation and every blood moon, I have to fight against my beast from taking over. My beast, Ryker has been losing his sanity with each passing day. There are a few things I regret in life and my biggest regret is hurting her and kicking her in the curb. She was destined to be mine but because I thought she wasn't good for me, I treated her as shit and chose another as my mate. Serena was everything I needed in a woman. Smart, beautiful and powerful. She was a whole package but Ryker thought otherwise or should I say, she proved me otherwise. Two years into our marriage, I found out that she was cheating on me and that's not even the worst part, she was here on a plan with her mate, Alpha Drake of Redmoon pack. The plan was simple: poison me and take over my pack. Luckily, her plan was discovered and you have to ask about her tragic

Chapter 21: Lucian can be seen on his king-sized bed sleeping like a log of wood. While sleeping, his facial expressions change rapidly showing anger and disgust. Lots of sweat drops have distilled on his forehead and he has his fist clenched. He is clearly having a nightmare - something that's very much unlike him. What could be happening?....Lucian’s POV~ “STOP!” I yelled as I sprung up into a sitting position on my bed. I looked around frantically only to see that I was in my room. “Hmph, thank goodness it was just a dream” I muttered as I placed my hand on my chest. My heart was beating really fast. That stupid dream really took a toll on me.Suddenly my room door barged open with armed men storming in as Max stormed in right after them. “What's the matter sir? Are you okay?” I almost had a heart attack when the doors swung open. “Are y'all nuts? Haven't u fucking heard of knocking?” I asked, as I tried to recover from a terrible mix of the startlement I just went through
CHAPTER 20:Hazel's POV~“Come on, you can do this Hazel” I whispered to myself as I kept slithering through the air ducts. I didn't like the feeling I was getting. It almost felt like I would pass out soon. I was beyond claustrophobic and this whole arrangement just worsened it. I could feel myself about to panic. I had to keep reassuring myself that I would soon be out of here. How true that was, I didn't know. Frankly, I didn't even want to care. Who knew how long this air duct could possibly be? Suddenly while I was slowly inching my way through the duct, I heard sounds coming from behind me. I paused to be sure I wasn't just hearing things. I was certainly not moving around trying to make any noise as I didn't want to attract the attention of Serena. As I stayed still, I closed my eyes so I could listen properly; and indeed I heard the noise again. Someone was following me! “Shit!” I cussed in a whisper as Ifrantically began to try to increase the distance between us. I felt m
CHAPTER 19: Hazel's POV~“Urghh!!!” I groaned silently as I tried to reach the air vent above me. I had somehow successfully cut the ropes with the piece of broken glass. I legit don't even know how I did that, but I did it. Now all that was remaining was to get out of this freaking room. Standing on top of the chair, I tried stretching to get to the air vent but it was pointless; I was too short. Well, judging by how far away it was from my reach, I would suspect that only a handful of people could actually reach it from this chair. “Hmph” I sighed, thinking of what action I should take. I didn't have time. If that bitch Serena walked in here and caught me like this, I would definitely be a goner. Ain't no way she'd let me get another chance to escape. It was now or never. I got down from the chair and dashed to the door. Then looking through the fish-eyed lens, I scanned the outside. There was no one out there - yet. That could easily change in a split second, so it certainly wasn
CHAPTER 18: Hazel's room was plagued by screams and yells as Serena had tortured her for hours on end. She was tired, wounded and worst of all, almost felt hopeless. The room was quiet as a graveyard now. The repetitive sound of water dropping in a shallow puddle on the concrete floor briefly dispelled the silence, but brought about a rather hypnotic aura……Hazel's POV~My body was weak. Every part of me groaned in pain. Serena was a witch! A demon! A devil! If I was going to survive, I needed to get the hell out of here. The bitch was out to kill me. I looked around for a possible escape route. The room had no windows, just an air vent. Judging by the looks of it, I was probably underground. I was left with just two options, getting through the front door (dumb as that may sound) or making my way through the air vent. I certainly didn't like the idea of squirming like a worm. But did I even have a choice? I could barely even tell if it was day or night. There was no clock her
CHAPTER 17: On the same night (the night after Drake's death), Liam and the rest of the pack can be seen gathered in Drake's mansion front yard. Liam's POV~ Standing on the edge of one of the fountains, I stared down at the rest of the pack. The looks on their faces showed how devastated they all were. We had lost our alpha. It was beyond devastating to be honest. What hurt me the most was the fact that I warned Drake about kidnapping Noah's kids but he wouldn't listen. Now look how it all ended. However, I wasn't about to give up so easily. I certainly wasn't going to let his death get us down - it was time for me to fulfill my role as the second in command and teach Noah and his pack a lesson they'll never forget. “Brothers and sisters….” I spoke up, silencing the murmuring and chattering. “As we all know, our beloved Alpha is no more.” I paused, letting the weight of my words sink in. There was a solemn silence - with an almost bloodthirsty aura to it. “But are we going to
CHAPTER 16: Outside the room where Hazel is locked up, Serena suddenly hears Hazel's voice. A smile appears on her face as she walks into the room. She has been waiting for this moment. What does she plan to do to her?....?Serena's POV~“Hello? Hello?! Is anyone there?!” I heard her muffled voice yell from behind the door as I sipped from a bottle of coke. I ain't gonna lie, I had been waiting for her to wake up. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she figured out who kidnapped her. The thought of it was so exhilarating. I sipped the last drop of my coke, tossing the plastic bottle away before making my way towards the door.“Oh, you're finally awake?” I said, chuckling a bit as I wound the doorknob and walked in. “W-who’s there?!” the little mouse squealed. I loved the slight hint of fear lacing her voice; it was so appetizing. I walked slowly towards her. Her chair was right in the middle of the room, underneath the dangling lightbulb - the only light source in
