Chapter 77:

Alicia's POV~

Sitting down on my swivel chair in my office, I pondered deeply on how to get Noah to love me. It was annoying and frustrating - what did that bitch have that I didn't?

The memory of what could've happened between Noah and I that night haunted me; and the more it did, the more I resented that fool, Liam. Why couldn't he just get his nose out of my business?

*Driiiinng!*

My phone rang, startling me a bit. I reached out and picked it up. Drake's name floated across the screen. With a sigh, I picked up; “Hello?” I greeted.

“Good afternoon doc” he greeted, “How are you?” He asked rather ritualistically.

“I'm fine, I guess” I responded, “How's the mission going?” I asked.

“Well it could be better, to say the least” he responded, “I still haven't been able to win her over” he said. My fists clenched involuntarily as I refrained from being rude. How hard could it be to make that bitch fall for him? Hazel certainly didn't seem like a difficult person, in my opini

    Alpha Drake's POV~“Hey man, how is this? Much better than the last one, don't you think?” I asked my Beta who stood behind me, watching him try on different clothes. Liam, who already seemed rather tired of watching the entire fashion runway session, answered almost nonchalantly - well that was his usual way of responding. “It looks great sir. I think you should wear this one. It really….uhhm.. it really brings out your eyes?????...” He squinted one eye while tilting his head with his fingers crossed as he tried to assess whether his response sounded convincing enough. Well it didn't - I still didn't feel right yet. I wanted tonight to be special. Afterall, I was finally going to propose to Hazel! “Hmmm, my eyes right? I gotta change it then” I said as I began to take off my clothes again. Liam was about to pull his hair out at this point - but I didn't give a rat's ass if he was tired or not. Tonight was my big night. Dashing over to the closet and back, I raised two clothes in f

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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?

    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

    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

    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
