Third Person POVThe smell of disinfectant filled the air, making Hazel uncomfortable as she opened her eyes. She sniffed incessantly, trying to get the smell away from her nose, but to no avail. She tried moving her body but noticed everywhere it hurt, especially her feet. She thought back on what she had done to get herself into a situation like this.She lay facing up, staring blankly at the ceiling as she brought back her thoughts: how Thaila had framed her for poisoning her drink and telling everyone that she had been to prison.How she had forced herself to drink the wine to prove to everyone that indeed she didn't poison the wine, and how she passed out because of how exhausted she felt.The painful memory of her father slapping her for the first time in a long while while he disowned his own daughter. She remembered the joy she felt from rejecting Adrian; she couldn't do anything against him.And even if he wanted Thaila, he still couldn't do anything, but watching him convul
Third Person POV"Oohh, what's this I hear about picking up girls late at night? That's so out of character for you, Draven." Robin’s voice emerged from the corner of the room. He winked slyly at Adrian, making him uneasy. Robin walked towards the two men, ignoring the tension between both of them. "It's none of your business, Robin." Adrian snapped at him; he hated being made of fools.Especially in front of his uncle, someone who was like a father to him. But Robin didn't seem bothered by his aggravation; if anything, it amused him. "So what's this about a girl in the rain? I hear, Adrian.”“I believe you indeed owe us some explanation." Robin twirled around, taking a comfort seat between the two men. He gently patted the handles of both seats by his side. Draven, unfazed by Dante, simply took a chair and sat in it. Adrian, on the other hand, didn't feel comfortable about doing this in any way. He hesitantly took a seat; the positions of the seat made it seem as though the three m
Third Person POVDraven drove as fast as he could, ignoring everyone and everything in his way. He sped ahead without breaking speed. Soon enough, he was at the gate of his estate. He parked inside and immediately got out, running to his suite where he left her. He barged into the room. “Noah! What the hell happened?" His voice boomed across the room. Noah who had been expecting him gently stood up and handed him a piece of paper. He took it from Noah and read it over and over again. "What does she mean by good-bye? She has no one or nowhere to go; why did she leave? Her family won't accept her back," Draven said. He walked around agitated, trying his best to figure out the intentions of Hazel ."Noah, tell me everything you noticed about her; don't leave out a single detail." Draven said walking around, he couldn't sit down, not right now; he needed her so badly."Well, when I saw her, she did seem a bit off; there was no spark in her eyes, no light whatsoever; someone who had giv
Third Person POV"What?" Hazel blurted out. She looked at the man who had saved her life twice and how he had just asked her to marry him right off the bat like that. Feeling overwhelmed and confused, she stuttered. Words evaded her, sentences obscured from her thoughts. Draven watching her with amusement threw his head back and laughed. He left her and laughed till his heart's content; at some point he even began choking on his laughter. Never had he laughed so hard in years, and for something so foolish.Hazel watched him laughing, and her annoyance grew with every passing second. Part of her wanted to run back into the sea and drown just to waste all his efforts, but another part of her was joyful, that in some weird, twisted way she had brought joy to someone else."Laugh all you want, it's not funny," she kicked at him with her bare naked feet. She stumbled away and managed to stand up. He still chuckled, finding her reaction funny. He placed his hand on her for a moment, try
Third Person POVAdrian sat confused by what had just happened: why was she upset, why did she leave, and most importantly, why did she pour him a cup of water? He honestly couldn't get it.He took off his robe, went into the bathroom, and washed his face clean of the drowsiness he had been feeling ever since he woke up. He went back inside and took a cup of whisky to clear his head.He picked up his phone and called Thalia . The phone rang for a few moments before it got busy; he couldn't be more confused. Was she upset that he was no longer the Alpha, or did she perhaps think he had lost my authority at the company?He understood that they had made so many plans together about how to take the company to even greater heights by combining the assets of both packs, but now he wasn't so sure.He had to let her know that he still had complete control over the company, and that's what really mattered in the end, wasn't it? He called her number again, waiting in silence for her to pick up,
Third Person POV"Draven” Hazel turned around in shock; she hadn't heard him approach her, and it had been deathly quiet. It was almost scary how he showed up, like he had always been there."What are you doing sitting on the ground?" Draven asked her, and she realised she had fallen after she heard his voice. She scampered to her feet, trying not to make a fool of herself. "Excuse me," she said, then turned around, facing him as if she just remembered why she was upset with him. He saw the changes in her face as he saw her go from confused and embarrassed to scowling at him."What's the matter?" Draven asked."What's the matter?""You're asking me what the matter is?" She pointed at the painting of Adrian and said, "That's the problem, Draven; you've been using me, both of you!" She shouted suddenly, infuriated.Draven cocked his head in amusement watching her pull her hair in anger; it almost made him laugh. A low chucked escaped his lips before he could speak again."And what
Third Person POVHazel paused to look at the text again; she needed to be sure who had just texted her. She read the name again to be sure she wasn't seeing things; it was Adrian.Why had he texted her? What did he want? Numerous questions flooded her mind as she sought answers she couldn't find; perhaps he wanted to disgrace her even more.She ran into her room and locked the doors shut. She needed to be alone for a while longer. She dropped her phone and thought of her situation. She was affiliated with both her uncle and nephew, and they seemed to want her for completely different reasons. She stopped herself from grabbing her phone numerous times, and when she eventually did, she didn't know what to reply to him. She knew she was in love with Adrian—that much she was sure of, but she liked to think she cared about him. But after he had abandoned her in front of her family, she felt the opposite since then.Now him texting her made her get mixed feelings she wasn't sure how to p
Third Person POVAdrian picked up his phone expectantly; he hadn't gotten a message from Hazel, and it had been well over two hours. He thought she might have missed it or something happened to her, but he knew deep down that she wanted nothing to do with him any longer.The thought of that ached his heart. He dropped his phone, looking around for something that could distract him. He considered calling Thalia, but ever since his outburst at her, they hadn't spoken to each other, and neither did he feel the need to.He wanted to look for Hazel, search for her even but he remembered that night, how he had abandoned her, he was arrogant enough to think she would come back if he let her go, how wrong could he have been.Without having any other choice he picked up his phone and called the one man he would rather not have anything to do with, the phone rang, the more it rang the more he wished he wouldn't pick it up."Oohh, if it isn't my favourite nephew," Robin's said over the phone. Ad
Third Person POVHazel blinked twice just to be sure she didn't imagine what she just saw; she looked where Adrian was and couldn't see him anymore, like he had just vanished, the same way that wolf had."Noah, Adrian is gone!" she shouted from where she stood. Noah looked in their direction and looked at where Adrian was. Immediately he backed away from Draven, keeping the distance between them. Draven seemed less violent, although he was being held back by something or someone invisible. Noah saw his chance and immediately melted into the shadow beside a tree, leaving Draven all by himself alone. She looked around for Noah amongst the trees but couldn't find him. She suddenly heard someone breathing raggedly in her room. She turned around and saw Noah sitting on the floor of her room, drenched in sweat and little bruises all over his body; his tattoos remained unchanged while the rest of him looked exhausted."Are you okay?" She asked, rushing towards Slayer Side. He simply nodde
Third Person POVHazel sat in her bed, seeing the tension rise between both of them. She had expected Alpha Draven to be his usual insensitive self towards Adrian, but what she hadn't expected was Adrian challenging his uncle to a fight.The problem was, she knew just how strong Draven was; he was insanely powerful even amongst Alpha's, and now Adrian was going to challenge him. Before she could think any further, she saw Adrian jump towards his uncle, slashing him across the chest. She was scared beyond a doubt; she knew Adrian could lose his life, but what bothered her the most was his reason for fighting.Why was he trying too hard to win her over? She felt that Adrian truly didn't care or love her anymore, hence her abandonment. But would he risk his life for someone he didn't love?The question bugged my mind as Alpha Draven slowly stood up, the wound on his chest closing, the blood stopped flowing down, a wicked smile covered his face, she felt her heart drop, something was wron
Third Person POV"What..." Adrian said a few seconds too late. He turned around to see Draven standing at the door. He stood there unmoving, unbothered, and domineering. Adrian staggered back for a few steps. He wondered how much he had heard and the things he had said; he wasn't sure. "Is that what you said?”“Are you going to take responsibility for that, Adrian?" Draven asked him uncharacteristically; Adrian couldn't find his voice. He knew what he wanted to say; he wanted to scream yes, that he would take back his woman.Protect her even at the risk of him losing his life; he would burn the world if need be, just to please her. "What do you mean?" He found himself saying he regretted that he didn't feel confident enough to oppose his own uncle. He had to admit that this situation was a precarious one where no one could be held at fault, but that didn't mean he was going to get down and not do what he really wanted."You? Adrian?" His uncle asked, "Would you carry the burden of h
Third Person POVOne week passed and the pack was a bit peaceful with no attack from Zac’s pack. Hazel woke up feeling much better than she ever had in a very long while. She stretched her body as she woke up. The sweet smell of bread caught her attention. She looked her side and saw breakfast served. The maids have already come, and we're busy cleaning the rest of the rooms in the house. Hazel began thinking about how she was going to get accustomed to living like this. Everyone doing everything for her felt so unnatural, but she was the Luna, and things had to be done for her. "Good morning, Luna." She heard the familiar voice but didn't bother turning; she was getting used to his random appearances by now."Good morning Noah, how are you doing?" She asked him. "Very well, Luna," he responded. She took another chunk of bread and tore it slowly; the soft, buttery texture of the bread was overpowering and delightful."To what do I owe the visit this morning?" She asked, and Noah wa
Third Person POVDraven sat in his office, his head laying on the backrest of his chair while both his legs rested on the table. He heard a slight sound and opened his eyes. The room seemed a bit darker than it should have been."Noah," he said. "Yes, Master," a reply came back. Draven smiled at himself; he was the only one capable of knowing when Noah snuck into a room or was watching someone else, or him to be exact."Has Adrian settled himself in?" Draven asked. He closed both his eyes as he rocked on his seat back and forth."Yes, he's in his mother's room," Noah replied. Silence hung in the air for a bit longer. Draven sighed. "His countenance?" He proved further."Nostalgic and distant," he replied. "Good, he needs some time to himself; a man has to think once in a while," he responded, still rocking on his chair. He asked once more."Any reports on the family?" He asked. While the Labrinth family had come over for the wedding, Noah had sent some men to investigate the resident
Maddy’s POVWith a heavy sigh, I rose to my feet, my footsteps silent against the cold wooden floor. I approached the closet and pulled on a dark cloak to cover up my revealing nightwear, slipping it over my shoulders before tiptoeing towards the door. I slowly got out of the room and closed the door behind me. I had to make sure to be as discreet as possible so as not to wake up Zac as I walked down the hallway, heading for the dungeon. My footsteps quickened as I approached the entrance to the dungeon, and the fear and trepidation in my heart temporarily disappeared.However, my heart sank when I saw two very familiar men standing guard right outside the dungeon gates with a suppressed sigh. I took my stance in a commanding way with an authoritative aura."Let me pass," I ordered, my voice steady despite the nerves festering within me. The guards exchanged wary glances, their jaws tensing. "We were instructed by Alpha Zac never to let you see the prisoner again," one of them repl
Maddy’s POVI opened the door to find Zac only in a robe and a pair of shorts. "Come on, my love," I said to him, and he walked him while gazing at me in admiration and lust. I closed the door behind me and approached him slowly as I watched him stand and wait for me by the bed. I made as many seductive poses as possible, trying to make him lose control quickly. I finally got before him and began loosening his robe. I trailed my hand up his chest and glided down his shoulders, letting his robe completely fall to the ground with a small thud. "Maddy," Zac gasped as I kissed his neck and used my hands to tease his left nipple. I knew he had sensitive nipples, and I always enjoyed playing with them. Stroking his engorged member, I gazed at his list-filled eyes and kissed him, using my tongue to guide his. He replied furiously, but after a while, he was like a wild beast, just what I wanted. Our kiss turned into a little competition between fencers, but I was like a master fencer, ta
Hazel’s POVJust then, the physician came out of Draven's room. “The Alpha is..." he drawled before turning around again mysteriously. "Yes, what happened to the alpha?" Sam asked once more."I've managed to stop the bleeding, so you can be assured, but there's something else." In the heat of the moment, the physician meticulously walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. The elders that all had their gazes on me shifted it to the physician, and they all hurriedly gathered right before her like bees, their eyes filled with concern and worry for Alpha Draven.Amongst them, I could see the look in Sam's eyes; he seemed so worried about their Alpha, more worried than the rest. He suddenly stepped forward and spoke to the physician first."Noah?" He asked, his voice etched with worry and concern, as he fully came out. "Yes, what happened to the alpha?" Sam asked once more. With a deep breath, Noah finally spoke up, his voice carrying calmness in the chaotic atmosphere. "Well
Draven's POV As I finally approached the borders of our Pack, the sounds of fierce battle filled the air. I got to the main battlegrounds to find that the pack guardians were valiantly fighting against the intruders from Zac's pack, holding their ground as hard as they could. They did good and will be rewarded once this is all over. The other warriors and pack guardians joined in the fight, and soon everywhere was enveloped in smoke. I shifted into my wolf before joining in with the rest. The battlefield was a scene of relentless struggle, paws and claws clashing against one another, snarls and growls echoing across the clearing. The scent of blood and adrenaline hung heavily in the air as dust remained floating in it. If this was a human fight, then the dust is for sure going to be slightly blinding, but we are werewolves. So we are different. Zac believes he will most definitely win this.But what he doesn't know is that we are fighting for the opposite things, which puts my pac
