~Hazel~ I didn’t know how I slept off or when I slept off but I woke up on my bed and as the first light hit my eyes it all came rolling back with distinctive pictures. I was hoping secretly that it was all a nightmare and everything that happened the day before wasn’t real. But who was I kidding, the moon goddess never had me as her favourite and couldn’t personally just wave this off for me. I stood up, holding it all in, reminding myself that I needed to be strong and not break down for anyone as I needed to be strong to get Jaden back. I walked out of my room and stood in front of his closed door as I was faced straight at it and I didn’t know what to do or say. By now I should either be knocking to enter his room to get him ready for school or if as it should have been, we should have been talking about his birthday presents from yesterday and how surprised he was. I should be staring at his face with the cutest smile on it, with those smart and bright features
~Asher~ “You are certain he was a wolf?” I stood firmly with my eyes watching Mrs Sally closely like a hawk. I could feel her a little shaken under my gaze as she was nervous or maybe just a little frightened. I got earlier information from Hazel and I know that she’s the least person to suspect and didn’t have a reason to lie or any of that sort. “Yes Mr stone. I can always tell a wolf from a lycan and besides his scent was very distinct to miss it.” We’ve gone round this, asking the same questions over and over again. It was still the same answer and she didn’t waver with it. I had to make sure she knew what she was talking about so I avoided Hazel's confirmation and went the old way and continued repeating the question with every next tone rising higher than the first. She was supposed to be caught unaware and under the pressure of wanting to answer me as the speed I asked each question was enough to let her switch roles if she was lying or wasn’t sure of wha
~Hazel~ All I had to do was to wait till Asher had gone to wherever he wanted to go to before leaving. I was glad he didn’t ask me why since he wasn’t in any place to ask such questions. I was doing a whole lot already by allowing him into my home and letting him stay without arguments even though Kyra had made it clear that she liked his scent. I’ve done a lot convincing and bringing our minds back to what he had done in the past and how we should be really acting like his biggest enemy. She wouldn’t get any of that and pushed those thoughts out. Before she does anything stupid I’ll leave to meet Tristan as he had the answer to the most important question I had. “Only Jaden matters right now.” I muttered under my breath and of course she agreed as he was our pup and that was a limit to many things. I didn’t bother asking him where he was going as it wasn’t my business too. We weren’t that close to ask such questions, so I left immediately he did and went s
~Hazel~ He successfully hides his shocked look behind his eyes and looks up at me very seriously as his facial expression took a whole new shape. “What’s it?!” I didn’t allow him to settle down with his statement as I butt in immediately. It’s almost 48 hours since I haven’t seen Jaden. I wasn’t purposely keeping time but it kept on ringing in my head without warning like they set an alarm in there. “I tried checking all the closeby packs as we immediately put a call ahead to block all roads 100 miles from here. The time of the incident and everything was calculated and luckily he had already closed down major roads already and created more checkpoints at almost every stop.” I listened to him carefully as I tried to get everything he just said after getting myself back when I thought I was almost lost at the 100 miles. “That’s pretty good right?” I didn’t know where he was driving at but the thought of Asher blocking down roads meant he was really doing somet
~Asher~I was back before her and knowing exactly where she was didn’t ever and would never sit well with me but I had to turn a blind eye to it and wait for her to get back. She came back that evening looking all quiet and tight faced. She didn’t mention a word to me and didn’t also eat anything when I asked her to after preparing something very simple and quick. Knowing her completely well and expecting nothing less as I wasn’t quite shocked since she was coming back from Tristan’s. He must have said something about me and maybe his dislike about not wanting me here or different shitty stuff like that. I allowed her to be and just put a plate in her room without her knowledge in the night as I moved quietly back to the sitting room. I knew what had to come with staying here before I decided to stay with her. Her bedroom was definitely a no go area and I couldn’t force my way into it. I couldn't stay in Jaden’s room as it didn’t feel quite right. And aside from the f
~Asher~ I finally got back, knowing she’ll be up by now but I walked in the same way I went out. She was still out of sight and it didn’t look like she had gotten up from her bed yet. I move to sit down on one of the chairs first as I was a bit tired from the warmly morning ride or would I just be sincere and confess that this whole issue was what’s weighing me down as all I could think of on my way back was how I was gonna come up with the perfect plot and catch them in their own schemes. It was all too quiet to miss that sound as her sobbing could be clearly pointed out and heard since it was just the both of us here. I remained where I was listening to her sobs as I repeated calmly to myself that she’ll be fine. I remained there for some time before deciding to stand up and walk into her room to find out what the issue was, not minding if she was going to throw anything at me as I could feel her panicking and she was angry at the same time. I pushed the door
~Asher~ I couldn’t tell exactly what she was thinking as she pushed me out in the calmest way. And I don’t know if I should be worried as she didn’t come out all through the day and night and stayed locked up in her room but now with no sounds or crying sounds coming out of her room. I walked aimlessly round her door till it got really dark outside and decided to sleep first. Maybe she’ll have something to say in the morning. I thought completely wrong as she still wasn’t out by morning and the silence was slowly eating me up, making me more worried than I could ever be as different thoughts were flooding in on their own. I would never hold her down for whatever she has in her mind after telling her all that I just did last night. I’ll even be more surprised if she doesn’t do anything, knowing how I still had a lot to pay for and this wasn’t the time to be greedy with both of them. My thoughts were a bit clouded as I tried moving up and down to think it through as thin
~Hazel~ Stuck in between trying to pull myself together and also handle the thoughts of Jaden being okay even when I know he shouldn’t since he was kidnapped. I couldn’t completely hold back as I allowed the tears to run freely from my eyes. I was well aware I was home alone so I had the liberty to express myself how I wanted without distraction and even if he still stepped in, I knew I wouldn’t feel the need to cover up. I hate him but he doesn’t ever look at me in such pitiful way that I notice and become very conscious. And I still hate the fact that he knows almost everything that I feel and seems to understand every single one of them. I allowed him to talk to me and I listened. He was very confident about Jaden being safe and unharmed and inasmuch as that wasn’t what always happened with kidnapping issues. I wanted to believe him and listened whole heartedly, allowing his words to work the worry out of my heart. He goes on further to explain why he knows so
