Hazel’s POV

I went straight to the washroom. I opened one stall at a time to confirm whether they were occupied or not. I did not want to answer questions from anyone while in the washroom. After making sure that nobody was any of the stalls, I entered the one in the middle. I needed to think and it was not going to happen in the busy office. I had to try and find another way to stop Drake from sending me flowers, offering to drop me at home or pick me up, buying me lunch and insinuating that we might be together. His actions made it difficult for me to exist in the office. I did not want to quit because, for the first time in a long time, I was working a job with a decent pay.

I don’t know how long I had stayed in the toilet thinking but I was brought back to the present when someone entered the toilet beside me. I stood from the toilet seat, opened the door and got out. I did not even wash my hands for fear of being found at the sink. I hurriedly walked back to my desk and started f

    Drake’s POVI was going to make sure that Hazel fell for me. It was not like I really wanted her, no. I wanted to make Noah jealous. I wanted him to die with envy. I was going to use Hazel as bait and make sure that he fell for it. The end goal was to make him surrender, on his knees, his pack. When done with him, he will bow and Hazel will beg for mercy. I was just bidding my time and putting all my ducks in a row. She was going to pay for making me beg her so much. She was going to pay for being difficult and wasting my time. She was really going to pay. I was busy thinking of ways to achieve my mission when my assistant rushed to me. “Boss, you have to see this. Roxie is creating trouble in the office.” He said.“What? What are you talking about?” I was already standing from my seat.“Roxie came in and started beating Hazel.” He relayed.“Let us go. Where are they?” I asked as I rushed out of the office.Why was Roxie here? I had to put a stop to his nonsense. She was now crossin

    Drake’s POVHow dare Hazel walk out on me again? This was the second time today. Was I that appalling? Did I repel her that much? I slammed the door shut and sat on my table trying to understand why Hazel did not want me. I had tried all I could, I had even tried to console her but she had pushed me away. Was it because of Noah? Or was it that dimwit that she was living with? Who was he really? I had everything. I was an alpha with his pack. Isn’t that what women wanted? Roxie was ready to kill for the position of a Luna. She wanted so bad to be by my side that she was willing to burn Hazel. Why then did Hazel not want the same thing?My beta, also my personal assistant entered the office without knocking. He had a strange smile which made me madder.“What is funny?” I asked grumpily.“Are you falling in love with Hazel?” He asked before sitting down on my chair.I turned to face him. “What are you talking about?” I asked incredulously. He was spewing nonsense. I was not in love with

    Roxie’s POVI was going to pay back. I had too. It was Hazel’s fault. She was the one who had bewitched Drake. Drake had never treated me that way. He had never shouted at me, at least in front of other werewolves. She had made Drake humiliate me and send me out of the company, she was going to pay. I was going to teach her a lesson she would never forget in her life. How dare she? I had planned on how to get Roxie back and she had come and spoiled everything. I was not going to live down the humiliation and embarrassment of being dragged out of the company by the guards. I wish the soup had landed on her face. That would have taught her a lesson and made her stay away from my man. He was mine and I was ready to punish anyone that dared to snatch him away from me. I had to find out what she had done to him to make him ignore me and give her all his attention. She was a nobody, the daughter of a pack whore who had had children out of the mating bond. What did she have that I did not?

    Hazel's POVI wish I could quit. The job paid well but the environment was draining. I was tired of being treated like some whore who did nothing but entertain her boss. I did not understand why Drake could not just leave me alone. I mean there was nothing special about me, why was she so hell-bent on dating me? Was there something I did not know? I knew he and Noah did not see eye to eye. What I did not understand was why he was insisting on pursuing me even after I had told him that Noah did not care about my love life. I did not want to be among the reasons as to why they were fighting. I wanted to keep a low profile and just do my work. Why was it that hard for the two men to leave me alone?I was grateful that the bus was not yet there. I had spent more than ten minutes in the washrooms trying to avoid Drake. I wanted him to leave first and he did so ten minutes after the clocking time. This cat and mouse game was exhausting. Problem was there were no other jobs nearby. It had ta

    Noah’s POVI watched as Hazel walked away, for the hundredth time. Lucas was holding her hand and it made me envious. Oh, how I could give up everything just to hold her hand. I had begged for forgiveness but Hazel had been rigid. Resorting to violence and insults was just me projecting my hurt. I did not know how to deal with the constant rejection and heartbreak I was being given. First it was Drake and now it was Lucas. She had even gone ahead and gotten pregnant and had his kids. Why did she hate me? Had the years not erased the hurt I had caused her?I was remorseful for what I had done. I had been stupid and was being led by my manhood at the time. I did not know that rejecting her would cause me so much heartbreak in future.

    Chapter 41Hazel’s POVThe drive back home was silent. I did not know what to say and neither did Lucas. He drove quietly, not even a hum could be heard. I was not going to start a conversation because I did not know what to say. I stared at my reflection through the rear view mirror. My reflection stared right back at me. I looked tired and worn out. Noah was stressing me and I did not know who to talk to. I could not tell Lucas, well he knew, but I was not going to discuss another man with him, especially if the said man was his competitor.The silence continued until we arrived at Lucas’s house. He switched off the ignition at the gate. He did not honk at the gateman to open so I was left there wondering what was happening.“We need to talk.” He said while looking at me. We were still in the car but outside the compound.My heart started beating faster. Questions started running through my mind. The first worry was him chasing us out of his house because of the drama that was follo

    Chapter 42Hazel’s POVI arrived at the office in time. The previous night had been relaxing. After dinner, we had played games then Lucas had told the children bedtime stories before tucking them in. It had felt like a real family and I wished it were so. I wished Lucas was the one my heart was singing for, we would have made the cutest and best family. But he was not and rejecting him could break his heart. One might say that I was selfish because I was sort of stringing him along but that was not the case. I wanted to love him, I really did but my heart was not into it.As soon as I stepped inside the office I realized that something was terribly wrong. Almost all my colleagues had arrived. The weird thing was that they were not gossiping in groups as they always did every morning before starting to work. Today each and everyone of them was in their seats working or pretending to. The computers were on, the printers were humming and there was no chatter. Coleen, the ‘office walker’

    Chapter 43The company was buzzing with noise. People were in groups talking in whispers. Hazel was not part of the group's. She did not even want to join them. The human resource manager had dumped a bunch of files on her desk and she was very busy. She buried her head in the files as soon as she got into the office. She did not want want to associate herself with the gossip milling around. She knew in her heart that it was her they were talking about. Over the past few weeks she had developed a thick skin and was almost not fazed by the talks that were going around. When she entered the office, the whispers had stopped for a bit before starting again after noticing that she did not care. She had walked past the group's without saying a word to any of them. They could place her and her issues on the billboard if they wanted to, as long as they did not interfere with her life and work. It used to bother her when they pointed fingers at her. Now she did not care, ignoring them seemed t

    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
