LOGINHazel furrowed her brow as she surveyed the empty room, her senses keen for any trace of Wyatt. There was no sign of him; even his scent had vanished. "Where did he go?" Hazel's heart skipped a beat as she realized she couldn't sense Wyatt nearby."Ruben, have you seen him?" Her voice carried a note of urgency as she addressed the others present. "Something's wrong. I can't reach him through our mind link," Ruben admitted, his voice tinged with concern."Transform; you're his beta," Hazel commanded.It was unusual for Hazel to give orders on Wyatt's behalf, but Ruben obeyed without hesitation, shifting form to track down their missing Alpha.He leaped out of the hospital window, desperate to catch a scent. Panic spread across the room as everyone's eyes darted around, unable to locate Wyatt. Hazel couldn't shake the feeling that Sybil had orchestrated this whole chaotic trap. She felt powerless, and even Aurum, her trusted companion, seemed unable to track down Xerxes. Anthony burst i
Hazel's breath quickened, her chest tightening with anger. "Aurum? Why?""Yes, I've been on the hunt for her for five hundred years. I need her to achieve my ultimate aspirations."Sybil's grin widened, her eyes glinting with sinister anticipation. "So that you can absorb her power," Hazel concluded bitterly."You catch on quickly," Sybil remarked, her tone nonchalant yet laced with malice."Five hundred years... Then how come..." Hazel's gaze bore into Sybil, her mind racing with questions."How am I still young and beautiful?" Sybil chuckled softly, her expression smug. "That's the benefit of being a witch. We can transfer our spirits into different human bodies, preserving our vitality and allure."Sybil's revelation sent a chill down Hazel's spine, the implications sinking in. She was determined to stop Sybil's wicked plans, her eyes filled with steely resolve.Hazel stared at Sybil, her mind racing with disbelief. How could a five-hundred-year-old witch possess another human body
"Wyatt, did you see? Hazel healed me!" Josie exclaimed, her excitement palpable. "Hazel's a healer, Jo," Wyatt replied, his gaze lingering on her with admiration. "And she's the mate of this big bad Alpha," Hazel added, her hand resting lightly on Wyatt's chest with a light chuckle. Misty gently nudged Hazel, reminding her that they needed to step aside to welcome Zain. With a nod, Hazel bid farewell to Josie and Anthony. Dimitry and Ruben discreetly positioned themselves in the crowd, keeping watch for Zain's arrival. They maintained their distance from each other while remaining vigilant. Meanwhile, Hazel and Misty settled close to each other. After a few more moments, Hazel sensed a change in the air—a cool, icy sensation brushing against her skin.'Something's out there,' Aurum hinted, feeling a warning from her instincts. Hazel's gaze fell upon Zain as he entered the room, dressed sharply in a black suit. His eyes swept across the gathering, searching for someone. There was n
All of them were getting ready to leave for the summit. Ruben and Wyatt meticulously planned every detail for the upcoming event, preparing for any surprises that might come their way. Serene, lost in deep thought, focused on harnessing her magical abilities to connect with the spirit of her dead sister, Blaise. Despite the difficulty of the task, Serene felt driven by the urgency of the situation to seek guidance from her sister's soul.Meanwhile, Wyatt was resolute in his determination to confront Zain. He was ready to take charge and prepared to apprehend Zain to extract the truth from him, even if it meant resorting to force. They knew they had to tread carefully, especially considering the potential impact of a witch's involvement on the other packs. Ruben had already discussed their plan with other alphas who were Wyatt's friends and supporters.As they arrived at the location, Hazel and Misty were designated to approach Zain according to the plan. If things didn't go smoothly,
"Dimitry said you were unwell, and...""Stop this bullshit," Wyatt interrupted, rising abruptly from his seat and striding purposefully toward them."What's the deal with Sybil?" His words rushed out, catching Misty off guard."She's a friend of my brother's, and she's... well, she's a witch," Misty replied quietly, her gaze shifting uneasily under the scrutiny of the others."Is that all?" Wyatt pressed, his voice edged with frustration."Did you know Hazel is the golden wolf?" Wyatt fired another question. Misty's expression tightened."Yeah, that's what my brother told us when he brought her home," Misty admitted, her uncertainty evident. Wyatt scoffed, his eyes flashing with anger."So all this time, you knew about her identity, but you chose to keep a close eye on her," Wyatt accused, his voice tinged with disbelief.Misty shifted uncomfortably. "No, I mean, I knew she was the golden wolf, but I wasn't spying on her. We were just waiting for her to embrace her wolf nature," she e
"Hazel," Wyatt muttered, stepping closer to get a better look. His eyes widened in shock."Wyatt? What's wrong?" Serene asked, concerned."There..." Wyatt hastily wrapped himself in a bathrobe and hurried downstairs to find Serene. She was still inside as it wasn't time for her to come out yet, but the situation demanded immediate attention. Wyatt banged on the door impatiently. Serene opened it, clearly annoyed but sensing urgency in Wyatt's demeanor. She followed him upstairs to where Hazel was. Wyatt pointed urgently at Hazel's back. "What's going on?" Serene asked, moving closer to Hazel. Serene peered closely at Hazel's back, her expression morphing into one of disbelief."This can't be real," Serene muttered, her head shaking in denial. Wyatt, bewildered, demanded, "What's happening? Is this some sort of dark magic?" Serene held up a hand, studying the strange mark. "No, it's not magic. It's a map. This mark—it's Death Mountain."Wyatt's eyes widened. "Death Mountain?
