Hazel.I struggled to get him off me but he was too strong. His claws were already boring deep into my finger. When he slipped a finger into me, I closed my legs instinctively while screaming for him to get off me. However he hit me so hard that my legs parted of their own accord.I cried terribly because I knew that no one can save me now. Suddenly I heard the door fling open and a maid appeared. Logan stopped for a moment and growled, "Have you lost your manners?!""F-Forgive me Alpha," she cowered, "B-but there's a huge commotion outside. Half the guards are dead!"Caught off guard, I pushed him off me and moved further away from me. I watched him sigh and then he rose to his feet."What's causing this commotion?" he thought out loud as he walked out of the room. He stopped and turned to me."We're not done yet!" his voice boomed as he shut the door with a thud....Logan sprinted across dead bodies before he finally arrived at the ground floor where he found Lucian seated with
Hazel.Lucian kept me behind a log of wood."Stay here, don't go anywhere," he paused and added, "-and don't look back."I nodded hesitantly and Lucian stepped out."What is this, Lucian?!" began one of the frontier men, "You violated the rule and you want to leave scot-free?""You know I don't believe in this goddess of a thing, man" replied Lucian, "I also don't keep set up rules in my head. I didn't know a human is not allowed in the werewolf's world.""Don't bullshit us, Lucian!" growled the man, "You will have to face punishment! Give us the girl, and we'll let you go!""Or?""Or you die and we still take the girl!"Lucian smirked, "Here me out," he paused and added, "How about you clear the way for I and my wife to pass and nobody has to die?"Silence ensued with both men studying the other's move.I heard the frontier man call, "Attack!"And then the ground shook with tremendous power. I feared for Lucian. They did say he's powerful but only him cannot defeat that number of men
Hazel.I opened my eyes to the bright light of the day. I sat up on the bed feeling strange, and trying to recollect where I am."How do you feel?" a voice from the far left corner of the room interrupted my thoughts. I turned to look and found Lucian seated by the window, all dressed up in black in contrast to his fiery white hair."Strange." I answered after a bit of hesitation and touched the bandage on the side of my neck and then I remembered that Logan really bit me.I gasped as I jerked out of bed immediately and stood before the mirror. I noticed that I was dressed in a short and top of mine. Did he get me changed? I bit my lips as I stared at my bandaged neck.I turned to Lucian."What's going to happen now?" my voice trembled "Will I turn into a werewolf?!"Lucian got up and stopped beside me. He said, "Won't you like to become one?"I lifted my head and met his gaze. Something flashed across his eyes, I thought he was only taunting me."I don't want to be a werewolf." I an
Lucian "What's happening here?" I asked as I stepped into the house. I frowned upon seeing Mrs Byers holding Hazel's arm with such tightness. She immediately let go when she saw the expression on my face. Smiling, she said, "Oh, Lucian! It's you! I was just reprimanding Hazel for being careless, nothing more." I read her mind and figured that it was a lie. I glanced at Hazel, "Can we leave now?" I asked and she nodded slowly. "Ah-" Anastasia got up from where she was seated and walked over to where Lucian stood. "Brother-in-law.." she spoke subtly, "Now that we're family I think we should spend some time getting to know each other. Like a dinner or something?" I ignored her, walked up to Hazel and pulled her out of the house. We got into the Maybach and the driver drove us back to the house. I felt really famished. All I had was breakfast before I went to the Pack house to oversee some things. As from now on, we no longer belonged to the Royal Crest Pack. I spent the
Hazel. I saw a different side of Lucian I did not think existed. When I used to drool over him I thought he did not feel attracted to me in the same way I felt attracted to him. I was lost into the moment until the loud knock interrupted us. Lucian ignored it and wanted to continue but I got distracted when the knock persisted. I got a tissue paper and cleaned my thighs up and the kitchen table. I was hearing voices from the sitting room but I only went out to see who it was after I'd properly cleaned the kitchen. My eyes widened to find a good-looking woman standing all wet to the skin. "I'm so sorry for coming to your house unannounced, Lycan!" the woman said to Lucian, "I boarded a cab home but it broke down not to far from here and there wasn't any cab in sight as it's raining heavily. I could only think of spending the night here." I saw the anger on Lucian's face dissipate. For this woman to know his house, that means they must be really close."Some of your clothes are
Lucian.How do I explain to Hazel that I am protecting her? Revealing her as my wife to Cassie would put her in danger. I was on my way to the room when Cassie stopped in front of me."We need to talk." she said "No," I snapped, "Get to bed and make sure you get out of my house before dawn."I begin to move however she wraps her hands around me."What the fuck, Cassie?! Get your hands off me." I pulled her hands away while trying not to hurt her."Stop behaving this way! I told you I have a girlfriend now." I yell at her."Cut the crap, Lucian. The real reason you have her is to raise your mother from the-"I quickly rush at her while stopping her from finishing the rest of her words. This woman would be the death of me.I grab her arm and pull her away from the passage, into the room I had assigned to her. I locked the door behind us."What?" she rolls her eyes, "You're hiding it from her?""It's complicated," I snort, "But that doesn't mean you should go around running your mouth!"
Hazel.My eyes widens as my lips part in disbelief, "What?""I bought you but your stepmother failed to read the clause of the document. Even you didn't read it."I shut my eyes and open them again, hoping that this is a dream. I remember that I didn't read the document, my stepmother did not as well. What did he include in the contract then?"You..you deceived me." I say as I step away from him.A tint of red flashed across his eyes."Listen, I was going to tell you. It just wasn't the right time.""If..if Cassie had not come, you never would have told me!" I yell at him, pushing the tears back, "You had me thinking all these while that I am your wife. I knew a werewolf would never be with a human!""Hazel,"He begins to say but I walk away. I hear his footsteps behind me. He grabs my wrist and turn me to him."Where are you going?""I'm leaving. There's no reason I should stay." "You can't leave." I lift my gaze and stare up at him. I try to release my hand from his grip but his h
Hazel.He stood there rooted to the spot, half-believing what I said."You're not kidding with me, are you?" he says to me with a smirk and I shook my head."I will do anything you want upon my return," I repeat, emphasizing my sincerity.He does not say anything afterwards. He crosses into the house, away from the door along with Cassie who did not do so much as sparing me a glance.I walk out of the house and constantly looked back to make sure I was not being followed. I boarded a cab and arrived at the pub.It was filled to the brim and some dancers were already performing on the stage. I hurry over to the counter. "You're the girl from this morning." she says upon seeing me and I nod my head, my brown hair bobbing from the movement."After parties?" she asked and I shook my head."No, no, no after party. Just the dance." I quickly reply. After party means any of the men could you pick you after the poll dance for you to pleasure them in a separate room. I knew I would earn highe
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.
Lucian.I'd gathered Louis and the rest of my pack. We were ready to leave in search of Hazel. As we were about to leave, Cassie stopped me."Our marriage is tomorrow, Lucian. How could you leave just like that?!"I shook her grip off of me, "Hazel is more important to me than any damn marriage, Cassie.""But you need this marriage in order to form an alliance with my father. Do you really think you could defeat Logan and his troupes with your little army?""Don't worry about me," I replied, "Forget about any dreams of being married to me, Cassie."With that I turned and left with my army following behind me. We shifted and made it quickly through the woods, when I picked up a familiar scent."Blood," Rio mumbled, "Human blood."I hoped to God it wasn't Hazel's. We had just crossed the borders and were heading deeper into where I thought Logan would be when we were suddenly attacked.I was less surprise when I found the attackers led by my very own brother, Michael."What has he promi
HazelLogan took me away from the lair and forced me into the car. I had no idea where he was taking me but I felt relieved that he let my family go in the end.The Witch Queen, Logan's mother was seated on the front seat with a horrific look on her face."Drive faster, you moron!" Logan ordered from the backseat, "We have to get this done before Lucian arrives!"I wondered what he was talking about and the more I thought about it, fear coursed through me. They aren't going to use my blood again, are they?"What about Henry?" the Witch spoke, her voice husky, "Do you have any plans on getting him out?""No," Logan answered with a smirk, "He's helped enough."The witch nodded and turned away. Just then Logan turned his gaze to me."It's time, Hazel." he said, "Time for me to rule and reign with you by my side.""I'd rather die." I replied under my breath but he heard me and chuckled."No, Hazel." he paused and added, "I can't kill you just yet. You will be of great benefit to me, at le
Alicia."Answer me!" I screamed again, hoping that nothing bad has happened to Hazel.Anastasia rose to her feet while wiping the blood that was seeping from her wound. She stared at me."Logan took her." she whispered."Do you know where they took her?" I asked and Anastasia shook her head.Kelly said, "Wherever they took her, they're surely gonna bring her back. However, she might not be the Hazel we know. I heard them talking about possessing her."I paced round the room, my mind in a jungle of haze. Why didn't they inform me of their plans? Logan must have decided not to. The punk must have figured that I'm not in support of their games.Now what do I do? Lucian will be getting married to Cassie tomorrow and Hazel is in danger. "Why don't we just tell the Lycan?!" Anastasia suggested, "He should know what to do." "No," I objected, "We can't.""Why?" Anastasia hissed, "You're afraid he's gonna kill you? I can tell you he won't. We would tell him that you're on our side."I did no
Alicia.I remained outside the Pack house, helping the humans and anyone who needed help. I did not want to think about the dire situation between Lucian and my brother, Logan.A part of me wanted to confess to Lucian however, that could cost a lot. Lucian could kill me or even lock me up in the dungeon. He would never believe that I had no choice but to do this.At a point, I ruled out the idea of confessing to Lucian. Perhaps, rescuing Hazel would be a better choice. I should rescue Hazel and go into hiding.Summoning up courage, I moved into the Packhouse and grabbed a cloak. While I was walking quickly out of the house I bumped into someone causing me to lose my step and fall on the floor.I heard a scoff above me. Looking up, I found that it was a lady dressed in a yellow high-end dress with a smirk on her face."You're blind now, are you?" she said curtly, "Where are you hurrying so quickly to that you seemed so lost in thought?"I rose to my feet and said, "Apologies, I did not
