Orion’s POV

Their movements were slow and predictable, their strikes landing with the force of a feather.

It was pathetic.

I could feel my insides crawling with what I was seeing.

Were these the idiots who would defend my pack?

I was shocked.

“Excuse me,” I muttered, stepping away from the generals.

Kael raised an eyebrow as I walked toward the training grounds, but he didn’t stop me. He knew better than to interfere when I was in this mood.

I walked onto the field, my presence drawing the attention of the trainees. They froze mid-strike, their eyes wide as they realized who had joined them.

“What..,” I said, my voice low and sharp, “do you think you’re doing?”

The two men I had been watching exchanged nervous glances. One of them, a young warrior with messy blond hair, stammered, “W-We’re training, Alpha.”

“Training?” I repeated, my voice rising slightly.

“You call this training? You think swinging your swords around like that will prepare you to defend this pack?”

    Orion’s POVThe man looked around nervously as he held up his drink.“I’ll be a bit sloppy because I've been drinking…”Before he could finish, I smacked the drink out of his hands and stepped up to him with a growl which had him shaking away from me.“I’m not here for games,” I said in anger. “You’re teaching my warriors how to be soft. That would not happen again. Now let me tell you what you are going to do next.”“You will walk away from here and head back into the pack. If I see you close to any one of my warriors teaching whatever fake nonsense this is, I’ll make sure you hang for this.”“ I’m only being merciful today because I’m not in the mood for drying anyone's blood, but make no mistake of repeating this stupidity.”I turned back to talk to the generals as the trainee started to laugh.This had everyone shocked as they stared at me with gasps.I turned back to the man who had made a stance in a bid to fight with me.“What are you doing?” I asked as he smiled.“I’m challen

    Orion’s POVI watched the door open with the timid woman getting into the room.Hazel, my guest, showed up with a smile as she stood by the door.“Alpha,” she said as I waved for her to sit down.“Hazel,” I noted, watching her sit. “How is your stay at the palace going?”“It’s going well. I came to thank you for accepting me and tell you it’s been great staying here at the pack. The people here aren’t really… accepting but it’s been okay.”I smiled and leaned back in my seat. “Not everyone will welcome you to the pack but that’s where you make yourself at home and relax. How’s the umm…”I pointed to her belly as she held her belly with a laugh.“You mean, how am I doing with my pregnancy?” She noted as I nodded. “You can say the word.”I nodded. It wasn’t everyday that I saw a pregnant woman being jovial around me.“If you want to go back to your pack I can escort you personally to the place.”She looked scared for a second before getting back her bearings as she looked around the off

    Orion’s POVI followed her a few steps away. Mara crossed her arms and stared at me darkly. “She is not coming along well,” she commented drily. “She knows nothing, absolutely nothing, worse still, she is so clumsy… an accident waiting to happen! Where did you find her?”I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. “I know it’s a lot to ask, Mara, but I need you to give it your best shot. She’s part of the pack now and we have to make room for her. It could be good for her—and good for us too.”“Good how, alpha?” She asked with raised brows. “She can’t even get anything right. I’m hurt watching her go around like she knows what she’s doing. Look at her. I’m pretty sure if we were at war and I asked her to hold up a spoon she would hold a tray instead.”I laughed at that but knew I was wrong for that. “It’s no laughing matter my alpha,” she chuckled as I nodded.“Look, I know but can you actually help her get better at what she’s doing? I don’t think she would get anything from being yell

    Hazel’s povI was roughly shoved as the girls stepped back and stared at me with rage. The main girl, Lily, did a line across her neck to show me she would kill me if I said anything to her aunty.Mara entered and looked at the four of us staring at her as she raised her brows.“You girls look like you’ve been up to something,” she said while chewing on her gum.“Oh no aunty,” Lily rushed to her and hugged her before taking her bag. “Also, you didn’t tell us about this new girl joining us.”Lily was surprisingly chirpy that I was shocked this was the same chick who had tried to kill me seconds ago.I didn’t even know what to do. I could only pretend that all was well as I smiled at the healer who shrugged.“And why should I tell you I have a new student. You are learning your healing practice here and when you’re done you’ll be out of my hair like I promised your mother.”Mara then looked at me and waved to me. “How are you dear?”I nodded nervously. “I’m fine,” I said. “I’m only here

    Hazel’s povFear gripped me, and I turned to run, but there was nowhere to go. The crowd was closing in, their faces filled with disgust and rage. I felt tears sting my eyes as I realized how helpless I was.I wanted to scream, to beg them to understand that I wasn’t here to cause trouble. I was just trying to find a place where I could belong. But my voice was stuck in my throat, and all I could do was stand there, frozen with fear.Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, a voice cut through the noise.“What’s going on here?”Everyone turned to look, and I saw a man standing at the edge of the crowd. He was tall and commanding, his eyes sharp as they scanned the scene.It was Kael, the Beta of the pack.The crowd parted slightly as he walked toward me, his expression cold and unreadable.“She’s a rogue,” one of the men said. “She doesn’t belong here.”Kael’s eyes locked onto mine, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Then he turned to the crowd.“Does the Alpha know about thi

    Hazel’s POVAs I worked with the healer while trying to prepare things, I knocked over one of the mixtures to the ground as I looked up at Mara who stopped what she was doing and stood akimbo, staring at me with anger.“Well? Don’t look at me. Pick it up,” she said as I nodded quickly and bent to pick up her things.I fixed all I was to fix and she waved me off.“Clean your hands of the mixture. And don’t use water. Just use a clean rag. That mixture can bring up hallucinations and whatnot and I don’t want you puking all over my floor.”I nodded and ran out to do what she had asked me to do.But when I raced through the back door, my ears picked up the sound behind me.I turned just in time to see Lily smiling at me with a bucket of water.“It’s time to see how good you are with sewage water,” said Lily as she tossed dirty water on me.I closed my eyes as the stench from the water felt like it was stinging my body.I cried out in frustration as I could not believe that anyone would be

    Orion’s POVI was seated in my office, going through a few files as I dropped the call I had with Mara, the healer.I smiled for a second. For someone whom she had said was giving her a tough time, she really wanted Hazel to stay in her place and learn the healing techniques.A knock interrupted my thought as I saw Kael my beta coming in.He had a frown on his face but what was unusual about it? He always had a frown.It was almost like nothing could make him happy.“What is it this time?” I muttered as he closed the door behind him and walked to sit in the seat across from me.“I saw her in the market today,” he said as I shrugged.“You’ll need to be very specific if we would be playing the pronoun game with each other.”“I’m talking about Hazel. The rogue.” “She’s not a rogue. And she is under our care. Never fail to know that.”He nodded and went on. “She was on her own in the market.”“Maybe she went to the market with Mara to buy something for their healing lessons or something.

    Hazel’s POVI laid on the floor without even breathing normally as I didn’t want to piss off Lily.She was lying in her bed while tapping noiselessly on her phone.It was clear she couldn’t sleep either and it was midnight.I wanted to ask her so many things but my wolf decided against it.Saying anything could have me in trouble.So I laid down quietly and prayed for this night to be over in a breeze.“Stop breathing so loudly,” she said which had me frustrated as I sat up to look at her.I was wearing her clothes as she frowned at me.“Make sure you enjoy tonight because this is the last night you’ll ever sleep in this house.”That was it. I was done being insulted for no damn reason.“Why do you hate me?”“Because you’re a dunce.”I scoffed. “Coming from you.”“What was that?”“I said, coming from you.”I wasn’t backing down.She had done enough to me and I wasn’t taking anymore of her bullshit. Not anymore.“Ever since I’ve been here, which might I remind you is just in the last t

  • Hazel's Awakening: The Lycan's Heartbeat   Chapter 104: The merging of packs

    Author’s povThe throne room of the Red moon pack was a buzz with thick tension as Hazel who had returned, stood proud and tall. She called for a meeting with both the elders of the red moon pack and the shadowclaw pack. It had taken Orion a leap of faith to extend an invitation to every important dignitary as he knew that Hazel who looked looked different this time after her travels had something important to say.She looked different from how she had been before traveling.With everyone seated in the court while she stood in the middle, she started the meeting. Hazel’s voice didn’t waver. “I’ve had no reason to doubt you before, Ryder,” she said, her eyes still locked on his. “But I wouldn’t have called this meeting if I wasn’t one hundred percent sure. You owe me justice―and you’re going to give it to me today.”Ryder laughed in disbelief and leaned back even farther in his chair. “Justice?” he asked disdainfully. “What kind of justice do you think you’re entitled to? Seriously?

  • Hazel's Awakening: The Lycan's Heartbeat   Chapter 103: Evelyn’s plans

    Evelyn’s POVThe cell was damp, and cold, the hard stone felt as if it would close in on me. I didn’t know how long I had been down here since Kael had tossed me in this hole but it didn’t matter the time right now because if anything my anger had just intensified. My hands were shackled before me but that didn’t bother me. What bothered me was why I was here.I had done nothing wrong in my book.The heavy boots pounded down the hallway. I straightened, lifting my chin as the door creaked open.Kael stepped in, towering over me as much as he filled the small space. His expression was a mask, but I saw the tightness in his jaw, the anger in his sharp eyes. He folded his arms over his chest and studied me.“Where did you take Hazel?” The question was soft, and controlled, but I could hear the blame lacing it.I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “You’re delusional, Kael. I didn’t take Hazel anywhere.”His expression darkened. “Don’t lie to me, Evelyn. I know you were involved in her disappearanc

  • Hazel's Awakening: The Lycan's Heartbeat   Chapter 102: The new high priestess

    Hazel’s povI journeyed for a long time before I arrived at the spot Ryder had directed. There, tucked in between those boulders, was a large dark cave. Everything became dead silent all around me and for a moment, I stood still and doubted myself. But it quickly ended when my eyes landed on her.Alongside the entrance to the abyss, a figure sat there and it was an elderly woman, with long silver hair sliding down her back. She looked as if she would crumble right under herself yet something about her seemed so powerful.I took a step forward, opening my mouth to speak but before I could get a word out she lifted her head and looked straight at me."Hazel." She said softly.I froze.How does she know my name?Before I could ask, movement flickered in my periphery. More people were stepping out from the shadows of the mountains. Men and women in dark cloaks. Their gazes held something I couldn’t quite grasp. Recognition. And... happiness when they saw me.“She’s come back,” someone bre

    Hazel’s povRyder shook his head, desperation pouring from his eyes. “No, Hazel. That’s not all. I…” His voice cracked. “I didn’t know.”She sliced her hand through the air, severing his words. “But you did,” she said with sharp, brutal conviction. “You really knew.”Ryder sucked in a deep breath and desperation filled his eyes. “I know I fucked up, Hazel. I know I hurt you but I didn’t know you were pregnant, or that the baby was Orion’s. If I had known—”I cut him off, my voice sharp. “Stop acting like you didn’t know. But you did know I was pregnant, Ryder. You knew, and you still banished me. In front of my parents. Do you have any idea how much that hurt? Do you have any idea how much you humiliated me?”Ryder’s shoulders slumped, and he nodded, his voice barely above a whisper. “I know, Hazel. I know I hurt you. And I’ll never forgive myself for that. But I’m here now. I’m trying to make things right.”I sighed, my face softening slightly. “I already said I’d help your mother, R

  • Hazel's Awakening: The Lycan's Heartbeat   Chapter 100: Apologies for the past

    Hazel’s povI woke up the next morning and an ungodly heaviness sat on my chest. The argument from yesterday was the first thing I thought of—Evelyn’s betrayal, my escape, Kael stopping me. It left me angry and feeling restless and I couldn’t lock myself in this room all day to lick my wounds. I needed some air—to breathe, to think.With that said, I got out of bed and dressed quickly while making a path for the door. There wasn’t much noise in the rooms as made it way down the hallway, except for a faint hum of footsteps… the maids were working no doubt. No one was in the garden when I arrived so early this morning.But as I stepped foot into the garden, my feet froze. There, with his back to me, stood someone I never expected to see again—Alpha Ryder of my old pack. My heart skipped a beat and I was hit with a wave of emotions—anger, terror, confusion. What in the world is he doing here? After everything he had done to me—after banishing me from my own pack when he found out about m

    Hazel’s POV He untied my hands, rough but not sloppy. I don’t think he wanted to hurt me. Not yet. I worked my wrists when he was done, enjoying the tingle as circulation returned.Mark yanked me upright by one arm, easy enough that it wasn't painful. He marched and dragged me towards the only partially closed door at the far end of the room, his eyes flicking around, wary.But so was I.I stepped into the bathroom, closing the door behind me and my heart pounding. This was it. My only chance. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, and then I waited for a while before I exited the door into the room.Mark was standing a few feet away from me, his back turned as he used his lighter to light a cigarette. He didn’t turn his head when he heard my footsteps coming toward him. He had no fear in that moment. And that’s when I got him.With every ounce of strength I had, I kicked him. Hard. Behind the back of his leg, at his knee. He let out a grunt of pain as he stumbled forward and d

    Author’s povRyder wrinkled his nose, his annoyance heightening. “Why?”“Because she’s busy,” Kael said in anger.“Busy doing what? I told you it was important. My mother is dying.”Kael’s mouth flattened and he closed the distance between him and Ryder, speaking in a low, rigid voice. “I said she’s busy, Ryder. That’s all you need to know. And if you’re hurt and in need of healing’, our pack has plenty who are more than qualified for the job.”Ryder narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. “With all due respect, Kael, I didn’t come here for your healers. I came here for Hazel. She’s the only one who can help my mother. So, if you know where she is, tell me.”Kael’s gaze hardened as he took another step closer. His voice was sharp when he spoke again. “I don’t owe you anything Ryder. You’re a guest here and you will respect our rules.Hazel is not available to you. End of discussion.”Ryder clenched his fists at his sides, feeling his patience—what little he had left of

  • Hazel's Awakening: The Lycan's Heartbeat   Chapter 97: Looking for Hazel

    Orion’s povThe following morning, I awoke early, my mind full of the day’s agenda. One of the first things I had to do was let Hazel know that her old alpha, Ryder, would be coming to the packhouse. She and he had a… difficult history, and I wanted to warn her in advance. I dressed quickly then headed down the hall to her room.I rapped on her closed door and called out, “Hazel? It’s Orion; we need to talk.”There was no answer. I knocked again, harder. “Hazel? Are you home?”Silence. I squinted my eyes and reached for the doorknob. Something was not right. The door swung open and creaked under my weight.No one was there. The bed was made perfectly and looked exactly as it did before she left this morning—empty.“Hazel?” I called out again, my voice bouncing back in the empty room.Silence. I took a few steps toward the dresser and pulled on the handle. It opened easily, revealing Hazel’s neatly folded clothes. All of her personal items were still there, exactly as she’d left them w

    Orion’s povKael stared at me for a long moment before he finally nodded his head, his voice quiet. “Alright, Orion. I’ll trust you on this but if things go wrong it’s your head.”I smiled in reassurance and relief. “I know. And I’m ready to take that responsibility.”Kael dropped back down into the chair again, his voice still so serious for one so young. “So what’s the plan then? How do we help Ryder’s mother without putting the pack in danger?” I stood up straighter, my mind spinning with ideas. “We’ll start by sending some healers to Ryder’s pack. They can check on his mother and try to heal her if they’re able. But they’ll also be guarded in case Ryder tries anything.”Kael agreed with a slow nod, his gaze distant. “Okay. That’s a good precaution to take, but we can’t afford not to plan for the worst case either. How about bringing him into our own pack.”“I don’t like the idea, Kael. Bringing Ryder into our pack? After everything he’s done? It feels like we’re inviting trouble.
