Orion’s pov

Hazel tugged my arm from behind “Orion, lets just go. Please.”

I glanced back at her and tightened my jaw “Stay behind me.”

One of the bouncers laughed, twirling his baton. “Big words when you’re outnumbered.”

I stared at him and oozed as much Alpha into my stance as I could manage without tearing out of my skin.

“You seriously don’t want to do this.”

The leader of the group snorted. “We’re not scared of you. Now, are you going to come with us quietly and let us teach you a lesson, or do we have to drag you out?”

I stepped forward, letting my growl echo out through the area. “Last chance. Move.”

For a split second the bouncers hesitated, then they loomed in like wolves and I was moving faster than them.

Using my heightened reflexes, I snatched the baton of the one closest to me as he tried to hit me with his baton, snapping it in half and tossing it aside with one hand. Hazel gasped behind me as I dodged a punch from another bouncer and kicked him down. “Anyone else?” I s

    Orion’s pov"Everything's fine," I assured her, starting the car. "Let's go."I slammed on the gas as I drove off while the hum of the engine filled up the place with tense silence. My knuckles around the wheel turned white as I squeezed it and I frowned as I was focused on what I was doing.With time passing us I started to get even angrier and I hated it.“Orion,” her slurry voice came on as I sighed and growled. “Orion…”I couldn’t help myself any longer. “What?” I snapped at her.“I—I’m sorry,” she stammered, her voice small.I shot her a sharp glance then looked back at the road. “Stop,” I told her, my voice firm but controlled.She blinked, confused. “Stop what?”“It’s enough with the apology. You can stop,” I said with a snap with frustration in my tone. “I have so many questions but what I want to know is how you ended up being drunk in the first place.”Hazel hesitated, her hands twisting together anxiously in her lap. “I didn’t mean to,” she whispered.“Then what did you do?

    ~Hazel~The moon goddess is a player.There is no other reason why she would put two people from different classes together and make them mates. I am so convinced that she enjoys the show that goes down here.She must love to have a lot of fun hurting werewolves’ feelings.It was the coming of age month when all the werewolves who hadn’t gotten their mates went to this huge party with the sole aim of finding their mates. My best friend, who is an omega by the way, found out that her mate was a beta from another pack, but he rejected her coldly, with the excuse of not being up to standard.Not him talking about standards with his duck face.This is the reason I’ve prayed fervently for the past three weeks that my mate would be an omega, just like me, and he would love me forever. That was the only way that I could leave this hellhole that had been created for me by my step-parents.I was still musing when I felt a kick to my shin. I cried out in pain, stumbling over the bucket of water

    ~Hazel~I tried not to think about what happened at the alpha’s pack house when I got home that evening. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get it off my mind.Was it because I was supposed to find my mate tonight and I feel like I might have cheated on him with the alpha?I glanced at the array of old dresses that I’d combed out of my tiny wardrobe. Tonight was the mating and coming-of-age party, and I needed to look good enough for my future mate.After doing enny mini moe, I picked a green dress that matched the color of my eyes. It was an old one that I’d gotten through charity, but it was better than nothing at all.I put it on and looked in the mirror. Even the dress couldn’t take out the stamp of omega in my body. I still looked every bit of it.“No other man is permitted to touch you”His command kept haunting me.I mean, I didn’t care that minutes after he had shoved his tongue down my throat, made me feel his erection, and left me all confused with his command, I hear

    ~Hazel~ I ran until I couldn’t feel my legs anymore. That should have been enough to take away the agony that I felt, but it wasn’t. My chest felt constricted, and now, the pain was more blinding.I couldn’t tell if this was more painful because my fated mate didn’t totally reject me before marking another girl as his luna, or if it was just because my fated mate might be under the sheets with someone else.Ryder.How much I hate him. I hate him for making me this pathetic. I hated him for humiliating me in this manner, and I hate him even more for leading me on and then dumping me in the gutter after he was done…“Why did you have to touch me in those breathtaking ways? Why did you have to take my breath away in the nicest way possible if you had no intentions of bringing me back to life?” I cried to no one in particular.I took a deep, shaky breath and straightened my spine. If the moon goddess thought that her game to destroy me was going to work, then she had something else coming

    ~Hazel~“I need to question her privately. Please excuse us”The werewolves in attendance, including Freya and my step-parents, filed out of the interrogation room, but not after giving me disgusted looks. Once the door had shot behind them, Ryder stalked towards me, his anger evident.“I ordered you not to let another man touch you. How dare you defy my orders?”“You might be the alpha, but you do not own my body. I can do whatever I want with my body! My body, my choice!”“Hazel!” he growled, his grip tightening on my arm.“You do not want me as a mate, so why do I need to obey that sort of command? Another man found me attractive and wanted me. He made love to me and I liked it”I could see the veins shooting out on his forehead. His eyes were almost crazed, and his grip on my arm was becoming unbearable. I tried to wiggle out, but he held me even tighter, and then pulled me to his body.His breath was heavy and labored as he grabbed my face. He brought his face closer to mine, his

    ~Hazel~I awoke to the van’s bumpy ride, and an uncomfortable feeling on my back. When I tried to move, I felt a pounding in my head and some burning on my wrists.The van stopped short and before I could understand what was happening something grabbed at me with clawed fingers.The wolves that had thrown me in this van to begin with were now pulling me out, their laughs piercing my ears and grating against my very last nerve as I was blinded by the white hot lights shining from the van's high beams.“Goodie, you’re up,” one of them jeered into my face, flashing a set of serrated sharp teeth beneath the dim glow trickling from the headlights. His fingers sank deeper into the skin of my upper arm when he shot his arm directly through mine to drag me forward. “Hope you didn’t get too comfortable back there Sleeping Beauty because nighty-night time is gonna be a thing of the past once we show you where you’re headed.”Panic bubbled in my chest, but I forced myself to keep calm. “Pleas

    ~ Orion~I tilted my head back against my seat as I was staring at the doors while the guards left with Hazel. Something about her didn't add up, and I couldn't put my finger on what it was. She had been afraid, but not in the way most people were when they were brought before me.It wasn’t just fear of me. It was fear like she was hiding from something or one. I’d seen enough liars and vagabonds in my day to know when someone told only half of a tale.“Odd woman,” I murmured to myself, fiddling with the glass of wine in my hand.Moments after, my beta Kael strode into the room, his sharp features twisted into clear concern. Kael had been my closest ally since we were pups, and though he was often the voice of reason to my more… impulsive choices, I treasured his counsel.“You’re actually letting her stay, Orion?” he asked without pause, crossing his arms as he faced me. I shrugged and put the Glass aside. “Brother, who cares? She’s not a threat. Just another adventurer that made a p

    HazelThe guard walked me through the hallways, his hand firm on my arm, though his grip lacked the earlier hate of the wolves who had dragged me here. It was almost soft now, loosened. My heart still raced as I looked at the passing torches and stone walls, their dim light painting shadows that seemed to whisper secrets of the past.I wasn’t sure what awaited me. Would Orion change his mind? Was this some kind of elaborate game he played to test my purpose? The truth was, I didn’t trust him or anyone in this place. But as we turned a corner and approached a large, polished door, I felt the air change.The guard pushed the door open, revealing a room that left me stunned.It was probably the biggest I’d ever been in. The walls were a pale, mild cream, with decorative, crossed wooden beams on the ceiling. A big chandelier with those crystal teardrop things hung from above in the middle, giving off soft warmth all around.The whole place was beautiful: a bed with canary yellow sheets

    Orion’s povI couldn’t believe what I had heard him say as I tried to understand his words. “What did you say?” I asked with a frown.He chuckled, a low irritating sound. “If you’re so determined to find the outsider, what will you do when you have found her?”I took a menacing step closer to him. “That’s none of your concern, just answer the question. Where is she?”He shrugged, annoyingly unfazed by my mounting irritation. “She’s at a party.”This was crazy. Was he being serious now?“A party? What do you mean a party?” I couldn’t help but notice that my voice rose to a high point as I punctuated every word. “You’re joking with me aren’t you? Hazel would never leave the packhouse. She is supposed to be here. How could she be at a party right now?”He smirked and his gaze was unwavering. “Why don’t you ask around, Alpha, if you doubt me? I am a thousand percent sure you’ll get the same answer from the people.”Now I was losing my mind as I clenched my fists while trying to calm mysel

    Orion’s povI was in my office going through some meeting with the elders who only yelled and talked about nothing that I would pay attention to if I was being honest. After their complaints, I nodded and told them I would fix it as they left the room.With a sigh, I leaned back and watched them leave as I looked at the time and sighed again.“Goddess, I hate this life,” I muttered as my wolf appeared before me and laughed.“Welcome to the life of being an alpha,” he said as I chuckled. “I don’t get it,” I said to my feet, walking to the large windows. “I understand that they don’t want me with an outsider but this is too much. The way they’ve been acting and treating me it’s been too much. They’ve been acting like I want to betray the pack.”“To be honest, if I were one of the elders and had no affiliation with hazel, I would want to get away too. She’s been labeled an outcast, she’s from the neighboring pack. We hate them and they hate us. We’ve been at war. What did you think was

    Hazel’s povWhen Evelyn had mentioned the party to me earlier, I hadn’t known she was for real. I was in my room, combing through my wardrobe when she breezed in without knocking, a self-satisfied smirk spread across her face.“Sweetie stop whatever it is you’re hunting for in that cupboard,” she declared dramatically waving a paper bag.“I’ve got stuff. And believe me it's way cooler than anything you’re thinking about wearing.”“What are those?” I blinked at her. She walked over to my bed and dumped the bag on top of it. “Dresses. Party dresses. You’re not going out there looking like a librarian. You need to make an entrance.” But my clothes are good. There is nothing wrong with them.She laughed. “Let me see one of them.”I got to my wardrobe and got out a dress as I wore it and showed her which didn’t work as she laughed even louder.“What are you laughing for?”“I’m sorry,” she said before bawling out again. “Where did you pick that? The dumpster?”“I can tell you I went shopp

    Orion’s povI was seated at the large oak table as I clasped my hands on my laps together. The elders who were around me with their voices raised were shouting about something that I rolled my eyes about but I didn’t care either way. One of the elders, elder Gerik’s voice, cut through the noise. “She doesn’t belong here, Orion. She’s a rogue. An outcast,” he said, his gaze hard.I didn’t respond immediately. I kept my eyes on the table, letting the words hang in the air. The room fell quiet, but only for a moment.Elder Alia chimed in, her voice cold and sharp. “We’ve tolerated her presence long enough. You cannot harbor a rogue in this pack. If we let her stay, others will come. We’ll be overrun by outcasts.”“And what are we supposed to do, send her away?” I asked, finally breaking my silence.Elder Gerik leaned forward. “Yes. She’s a threat. A rogue from Shadowclaw. She could be plotting something. You can’t trust her, Orion.”I looked at him with rage. If only I could tell them t

    Hazel’s povIt started quietly, a few snickers here and there, but soon it grew louder and louder as I fumbled on. It was an ugly sound, one that made my face burn with shame. I wanted to shut it out. I wanted to focus on what I was doing and push through, but it only became more pronounced with every mistake I made. It felt like they were all staring right at me, seeing me for who I really was. A failure and an outcast.Mara’s voice cut through the laughter, sharp and cold as ice. “Hazel. What is this?” Disappointment oozed from her.I winced. I hadn’t been expecting that reaction at all.“I can’t believe it,” Mara snapped. “You didn’t understand a word of what I taught you in class. This is a basic healing technique and you failed it.”My heart thudded in my chest like an exhausted bird flapping its wings against a harsh wind. She was wrong—I had tried. I really had learned these techniques before. “Go sit down,” Mara ordered, her tone dismissive.I felt the breath sucked from my l

    Evelyn’s povI left Hazel’s room with a heavy heart, my steps slow and deliberate as I made my way to my own room. My emotions were in turmoil, some of them beyond me, I couldn’t even put them into words. It wasn’t just the fact that Hazel had turned down my attempt at friendship. I had come to extend an olive branch, and she had shut the damn door. I had tried to be the better person but she’d seen right through it. And for some reason that hurt.Who did she think she was to act all high and mighty? Oh she was just trying out and she was thinking she was hotcake. I would show her what she was missing.When I got into my room, instead of finding a seat or attempting to clear my head I went straight towards the small table where tea was already being steamed down by one of my maids’.“Give me a painkiller,” I muttered to the maid as I dropped down onto the chair by the window. “And don’t give me anything weak. Give me something strong that will blot everything out.” I couldn’t keep up

    Hazel’s povI got up from my bed slowly, resting my palm against the wood in front of me. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see anyone today.But as soon as I opened the door, I saw Evelyn standing there in front of me, her body blocking my path. I stopped dead in my tracks.“Hazel,” she said as I shook my head and got back into my room. Before I could even step back to close the door, she was faster than I expected. She stuck her hand in the way just before the door slammed shut. The force of it made her wince slightly, but she didn’t pull her hand back. I noticed the way her hand immediately started to heal, the skin knitting back together, and the redness fading quickly as if she hadn’t even been hurt at all.Frowning, I couldn’t understand what she was doing here. “What do you want?” my voice came out both cautious and suspicious as all hell kept racing through my mind; What could she possibly want now?She smiled at me, but it didn’t reach her eyes. There was something about the way s
