LucianHazel was still asleep when I left the house. I informed the butler to inform her that I'll be at the Pack house when she comes down for breakfast.I have a lot to sort out. I still couldn't believe that Hazel is my mate. 'She is, and you better claim her already!' Rio shouted at the back of my head.I can't, I thought. It would ruin my plans. Why did the goddess give me a human as a mate? Not that I hated it, I definitely liked that it is Hazel however raising my mother from the dead cannot happen without Hazel. Delivering her up to the witch to raise my mother would tear my wolf apart.I arrived at the Pack house and waited in my office for my beta and gamma while trying to understand how Logan got into the human world.My gaze fall on the document scattered across my desk but that would be another time. There's a knock on the door and Henry walks in followed by Louis, who looked like he was dragged out of bed."It's so early, Lycan." Louis drawled as he grabbed a chair an
Hazel.They stopped suddenly and turned towards the door. I was hurting but I did not show it. I do not want Lucian to know how much effect he has on me. Since he wants to play games, I'll play along with him."What are you doing here, Hazel?"I walk in and stop halfway, "I'm sorry to disrupt you but there's something we have to talk about."Cassie snaps at me, "Can't it wait? Who the hell do you think you are?!""Cassie, you need to leave." Lucian tells her. She hesitates however, after a short while she picks up her bag and leaves the office."You don't feel any shame playing with two women like that, do you?" I say to him the moment Cassie slams the door behind us.Lucian runs his hand through his hair, "You won't understand, Hazel.""I very well do." I pause and add, "You are not what you seemed like when I first met you. You are a wicked and selfish man and I hate myself for ever signing those papers."Red flashes across his eyes, my words piercing his heart but I do not care."W
Hazel.I got into the hotel which was bustling with people at this hour. I took the elevator and met with Logan in Room 323."I was beginning to think you'd changed your mind." he said when I closed the door behind me.I found a grey haired woman seated on a chair. I turned to him."She's the witch." he tells me and then adds, "What do you want in exchange for this?""A million dollars," I answer and he nods and shows me the bag containing the money."Once she's done, you can have it." he pauses and adds, "It's two million dollars.""Oh okay," I nod my head and drop my bag.I asked, "What do I need to do?" "Get on the bed." Logan answers and I stare at him and then back to the witch who has been quiet since I got here. I obey and lay on the bed however in that instant, the witch binds my arms and legs.My eyes widens, "What are you doing?!""Relax, Hazel," Logan says to me as the witch begins to empty her small box. "This would take some time."I tried to keep still even though my h
Lucian"What do you mean destroyed?" I demand, my face crunching up into a frown. It was now I noticed that she was breathing heavily."It's been destroyed, the wolves are spread out all over the humans' cities. There's chaos everywhere!" she criedI storm out of the room and meet up with my Pack. "Save as many humans as you can," I order, "Bring them up to the Pack house and the rest of you guard the walls! No one must get in!"Henry came over to me and said, "Are you serious about bringing the humans here? We'll be exposing ourselves.""We have no choice. With the chaos going on I'm sure they'd have known about us already." I reply and then add quietly, "Besides, I caused all of this."Henry sighs and nods before leaving. I return into the Pack house to check on Hazel when I heard a voice behind me."Humans cannot be trusted,"I turn around and find Cassie.She adds, "We took down their world. They will blame us for the death of their loved ones caused by Logan and his tropes! They
Hazel.I could still feel the heat around my veins when I shot my eyes open. I tried to seat up but I couldn't do it on my own. I feel weak and tired.I look around the room and it is unrecognizable. There is no one else asides from me. I struggle to seat up again when the door bursts open and Lucian and a dark-haired woman walk in, followed by Henry. Lucian's gaze on me is piercing and I could tell that he is upset with me."Examine her." he tells the dark-haired woman, his voice thick and firm.The woman comes to places her hand in strategic places. She looks at me and asks, "Do you feel pain anywhere?"I hesitate."Answer her, Hazel." Lucian said to me, his voice far from calm and gentle."My..my veins.." I reply, wondering how I could describe the pain, "It feels hot."She turns back to Lucian and says, "Perhaps a cold bath would help."Lucian nods and the woman bows before leaving. I look away, avoiding Lucian's gaze."Why did you do this, Hazel?" the question came and when I w
Hazel.Upon hearing Henry's words I did not know what to feel."How.. how is that possible?" my voice cracked and I trembled."Hazel, don't worry," Lucian was saying to me, "We'll find them."But his words did nothing in assuring me. I fell on the floor and wept. I caused all of this. I..I shouldn't have acted on impulse. Lucian crouches to my level and wraps his hands around me as I sob."Hey..stop crying. It's not your fault.""I think it is," I sobbed even harder, "D-don't you think Logan must have taken them so he could use them against me?""It might not be Logan," Henry said, "There are other Packs here as well.""What? H-how?" I was getting confused and even more guilty. When they did not reply, I said, "He used my blood right? He used me my blood to break the barrier?""Henry, keep looking for her family." Lucian said and Henry left the room.I could not stop crying. I would forever blame myself should anything happen to Kelly. As much as I tried not to imagine her with Loga
Lucian.We were nearing our destination by nighttime. I couldn't help but be worried about Hazel even though I'd left her in the hands of well trained people.I hastened up my men because I wanted to be done with this and return to the Pack house. As long as I was not with Hazel, she could never be entirely safe because only I can lay down my life for her.Cassie came up to me, "It's Hazel right? She's your mate?""Yes." I answered.After a moment of silence she says, "She's lucky. You're the kind of man any woman would die for.""I'm the lucky one," I return, "Hazel is the purest soul I have ever known. She would willingly endanger herself for the people she loves."Cassie said no more. Minutes later we are received in the Moonlight Pack. Alpha Dane, Cassie's Dad still had a bit of hostility for me in his eyes.I knew that he was only willing to partner with us only because of his daughter. He demanded that disarm ourselves which I ordered my men to do on second thoughts.He let us i
Lucian. I stare at her long and hard before I turn my back and walk down to her father's office, with her following behind. "I hope you enjoyed your stay, Lycan King," said Alpha Dane cheerfully, "Since this is not our world, I can't entirely give you perfect hospitality." "It was okay, thanks." I muttered. "I think we'll start off to a good start, don't you think?" he said as he poured out the wine into the glasses, "We'll form a powerful and strong alliance with my daughter as your wife." "Here," he handed me a glass but I took it from him and set it down on the desk. "I haven't made up my mind yet, Alpha Dane." I said to him, "Give me two days to think it through." Cassie came and stood in front of me, anger written all over her face, "We don't have that much time! Why do you even need that much time if you will still marry me anyways?!" My eyes turn red as I growled, "You do know who you're talking to right?!" She backed away, however still in a pensive mood. "Y
Hazel.Suddenly, the Beta of the Whales Pack was on fire. The dinner hall was thrown in disarray. While everyone scurried about trying to help the Beta, Lucian calmly continued with his food like nothing was happening.I moved with the maids and so did Kelly and Ana. We helped put off the fire however the Beta's handsome face was terribly destroyed, even his skin.He was taken away by the Whales guards leaving the Alpha shivering on his seat.I stared at Logan. He was just as surprised as everyone in the room and the look in his eyes showed that he's grown even more afraid of Lucian.I wonder what must have happened that Lucian gained such power. How much more can he possibly do?With this new aura of his, Logan and the entire kingdom beneath him can never stand a chance. All that is needed, is for Lucian to regain his memory and remember his people.Logan regained his composure, although his expression still showed that he was shocked by Lucian's brutality. He turned to the Alpha of
Hazel.I could not stop pacing back and forth. My mind was in total disarray."So he really does not remember you??" Kelly who was on the bed spoke, "How is that even possible?? You are his wife.""He's been under that pile of earth for days, Kelly." Anastasia explained, "Plus he's not a human like us. His memory loss is probably the repercussions of coming back alive or having been buried for days." "But there has to be a way to bring back his memory," Kelly suggested, "If Lucian fails to regain his memory we are doomed."Anastasia shrugged."Will you stop pacing, Hazel?" Kelly pleaded but I couldn't bring myself to.I couldn't tell her that by tomorrow, she would never see me again. How could I tell her that I am going to be beheaded under orders from my own husband?"Lucian remembered only a piece of his memory," I told them, "But only when I appeared before him.""But you said he hurt you?" Kelly chipped in."Yes because he regained only vague parts of where I'd stabbed him." I e
Hazel.I got news that Lucian was awake. Out of excitement, I didn't think twice before running down to the Pack healer.However, she said Lucian was on a tour with the Alpha as he doesn't remember anything. My breath hitched."He...he doesn't remember anything?" I couldn't believe it. It felt as if a knife was pushed into my chest.The Pack healer nodded, "I think it's the aftermath of being buried for days.""Well..is it possible for him to regain his memory?""I really cannot say, Hazel." she replied, "He seemed fine to me despite having been underground for days. I could not even detect his memory loss until he woke up and couldn't remember a thing."I heaved a distraught sigh. How could this be? I wondered as tears pricked my eyes. All of Lucian's Pack members are currently in the dungeon. My stepmother is on the run. Kelly and Anastasia are treated as slaves and I..I am betrothed to Logan.News of Lucian's re-birth gave us hope. But now with the loss of his memory, our hope has
Logan."He's awake," I turned to my beta, "Get Henry here immediately." I did not immediately go into the room. If Lucian is awake and considering how he'd crawled out of that grave then my life is in danger.In few minutes, Henry arrived as perplexed as I am."Tell me it's not true." he said but I gave a weary chuckle."We tried to stop him but this man was not hurt by the bullets," I told him.He looked at me, "What are we going to do?""Kill him of course," I answered, "But the Pack healer says he's awake. Let's take a look."Henry nodded and followed me into the room. We found Lucian seated as still as a tree on the bed. He had this commanding aura that is hard to explain.I tried to read his thoughts but I couldn't get through. The only thing loud enough for me was his heartbeat, steady. For someone buried for three days, I didn't think that was normal.He lifted his head up suddenly and spoke, "Where am I and who are you?" I and Henry exchanged gaze."You..you don't remember?
Hazel."Wait." I stopped abruptly in my tracks. My heart slammed against my ribcage as one of the guards walked towards me."Turn around." he ordered and I obeyed, slowly turning around while lowering my eyes."You look taller," he observed and then turned back to the other guard, "Don't you think so?"The guard by the door hissed, "Stop being a jerk, Eli. Let the maid go do her work."I bowed and then hastily left the passage with the tray in my hand. I walked outside the Pack house towards the dungeon and took a deep breath as I approached several other guards."The prisoners already had lunch," one of the guards said, "Who asked you to bring this?"I stuttered, "T-the Alpha."The guards gazed at each other but knew better than to question Logan's orders. They opened the dungeon and let me through, shutting it behind me.I turned my cape over and increased my pace, checking each cell."Alicia?" I whispered, loud enough for her to hear me but then again I remembered that she got whi
Hazel.This has to be a dream. It's... it's not possible. I ran out of the verandah and down the stairs, hitting anyone on the way.I didn't care at how they stared at me. All I cared about is that my Lucian is outside and I was really praying that it's not a stupid dream.I arrived outside and found the men still standing shocked while Lucian simply stared at his surroundings like he had no idea where he is.Logan finally found his guard. He cursed himself for looking weak in front of his beta and pack."Grab him!" he ordered and both of the men stepped forward, picking their steps one by one. They stopped abruptly when Lucian began to walk towards them.I couldn't understand why he looked lost and why isn't he attacking? Logan was clearly trembling when Lucian stopped in front of him. The men he'd asked to grab him, held their guns, shaking."Where am I?" Lucian whispered before falling unconscious at Logan's feet.I sucked in air as I ran to where Lucian lay. I held his face in my
Hazel.My thighs parted in no time and his huge frame pressed on me as I continued to beg and plead however it fell on deaf ears.Logan buried his head in my neck, nibbling it roughly. I felt something sharp against the skin on my neck and I knew that he was about to mark me. There was nothing I could do. The blood I'd lost and still losing sapped the strength out of me. I felt more like an ordinary piece of paper because I do not have the will to continue living.Everything around me felt surreal and the only person that really cared for, except my sister, is Lucian and he's gone now. Gone for good.I shut my eyes tight and surrendered to fate. I stopped struggling and felt his fangs slowly sinking in when suddenly, there was an exasperated knock on the door.At first, Logan ignored the continuous knock until it developed into a bang. And somehow, I regained my will even if it was a small light at the end of the tunnel and used the distraction caused by the knock to scurry from under
Hazel."He's okay, right?" I asked as my eyes shimmered with tears however Alicia's eyes also filled with tears as her lips parted but no words came out. I turned back to my husband whom I have come to love without even knowing it. I whispered his name, "Lucian.." but he did not respond. He felt cold against my palm and his nose was snuck up together. He wasn't breathing and no matter how much I shook him, he wasn't getting up.Tears were already rolling from my eyes in numbers. I turned back to Alicia, "Isn't he a Lycan? They said he's the strongest specie, right? So..why? Why is he dead?" I demanded as my shoulders shook and I broke into a sob.I could see that Alicia was holding something back. "What is it, Alicia?! Tell me what happened to him?" "You..""Answer me!" I screamed."You...you were possessed." she said to me."Possessed?" I repeatedShe nodded and said, "You..you had no idea what you were doing."I went silent as I tried to put her words together. My memory remain
Alicia.I have tried all the spells I knew to get me out of this cage. Whether Lucian believes me or not, I really wanted to help him. I do not want Logan to win.The spells that could transport me straight to my destination are to difficult and draining for me to practice. I was close to giving up when the dungeon's gate opened and light reflected into the cell rooms.I saw Henry rise from his spot to see who it is. I only looked up when a shadow fell upon my cell room.I gasped as hope surged inside my heart again."Oh goodness, Kelly!" I called out as I moved towards the cell."Sorry I didn't come on time," she apologized as she pulled out the key and unlocked the cell. I stepped out and hugged her."This has to be some kind of joke," Henry chuckled, "Won't you get me released too?? We're buddies remember??"I took the padlock that had previously locked my cell and smashed it so hard on his face that his nose began to bleed. He stepped back and groaned, hands to his bleeding face.
