~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
~Hazel~ I stood still as the tears ran freely on their own accord and they took note of my presence and stopped with whatever they were doing. “Is all you just said true?” I asked again as my voice lost its strength and I could feel knives piercing through my heart and every part of my body. It wouldn’t have been a big trouble if it was Asher driving that knife straight into my heart but it was Tristan. As much as I knew I heard correctly, I still didn’t want to believe it and was hoping I heard wrongly. Maybe everything is taking a toll on me and I’ve started hearing things differently. I tried to hold my gaze with him, begging him to please say something else that meant it was all a joke or I heard wrongly. My eyes pleaded with him but he looked back at me with guilt and sorry in his eyes. “It can’t be!” I screamed out loud as I used one of my hands to hold my head in place and placed the other on my waist as I turned round in shock, completely lost for wor
~Tristan~ How do I explain myself to her? The moment I heard her voice speak from right behind me, I knew that it was over. I couldn’t keep up with it again. Where do I start with my explanation? How do I tell her that she wasn’t a mistake, I didn’t meet her by chance. That i sent letters to Asher using other wolves in my custody to break them up, so he could send her out of his pack. I calculated everything and my theory never goes wrong. How do I tell her that I should be blamed for every single thing that has ever happened to her. From when taking secret photos of her and threatening Asher with her very life. She was completely innocent and her only crime was to fall in love with an alpha. How I sincerely wished she wasn’t ever with him in the beginning. She wasn’t part of the plan, in fact the original plan was to abduct her and threaten Asher with her life at the very edge. We were eventually supposed to kill her with the little life we were well aware that was grow
~Alpha Asher~ “They are prepared and ready?” This was a one time thing and we could not let anything go wrong about it. “Yes alpha, I just heard back from Kade and they should be here on their way tomorrow. “Nothing should go wrong about this plan or we’ll never be able to find out who the real culprit is.” The worry etched on my face wa becoming a normal due to stress, deprivation and lord more. This was a serious issue on ground and even as it looked actually like nothing, it was slowly eating his way to the heart of werewolves race. It was a great threat and easy means to curb it was never going to be an option right now. “You still think someone among us is the culprit?” Ross asked, real worried as he still found a bit hard to believe. “Even as hard as it may seem to believe, it’s the outright truth and I know it so well.” I gave him my quick reply as we decided not to talk about it anywhere here as apparently in a war ground, the walls
~Lily~ The image of last night's ordeal came flashing mad somehow I could feel my cheeks heat up with pink hues. I woke up and was just staring at him. It took a while to get out of his arms that he wrapped all around me and then without thinking it through I turned to face him. I was flooded with different kinds of emotions that I couldn’t put a name on it. The only thing that made sense right now was to stay right there and stare straight at his face. He was officially my first in everything that he’s done in days. I wasn’t too knowledgeable in these things but I wasn’t at ignorant to know that he made me c*m several times last night that I lost count. And with every strength that I had gone, I fell into his arms as I continued moving with so much vigour like he couldn’t get enough. I could still feel his breath on my neck, when his hands finally made contacts with my br**sts. The pinching, the squeezing and oh my, my head was already spinning a
~Lily~ It was becoming a simple reality as I stood in his room with my back facing the door. I tried real quick to catch my breath as the images were looking very vivid. It was dark in here and yes I did notice that the paintings were nowhere in his room when I was here earlier. That was the very least of my problems as I was head on facing the bed, rethinking what I just did. “Good thing, I like the light out too.” I could hear him utter very clearly in his light hearted tone. His voice resounded like a calm river, with its currently but more like it was currently at sleep for a while. Wait? Please tell me I didn’t just tell him I sleep with the light on. ‘Oh yes you did. And you said it so boldly like you were ready for anything tonight.” Raya spoke out not so calmly as I could see that I wasn’t the only fidgeting right now. I wanted anyone to tell me just know that I didn’t indirectly tell him I was cool with whatever would happen tonight. “D
~Lily~ “Did you have a nice sleep or are you still busy with my mom?” His voice swept in like he’d been waiting for ages. I didn’t reply immediately as his voice was the first thing I heard after sleeping for only god knows how long. And the mention of how he personalised his mom strangely sounded not so annoying like it always used to be. “Should go on helping her again soon enough.” My reply came like it wasn’t an issue talking to him in my head. Like I never used to have issues with him hanging in there in my head without permission. “Ohh really? You mind telling me all about this help that only you can offer, or can Kade come lend a helping hand?” He sounded so aware of everything being a complete facade. And with the sound of things, he just wanted to flow along. I took a second to really wrap my head around it as the fact that it was me having a conversation with Jaden through the mindlink and there have been no shouting and disagreement. “
~Lily~ I didn’t let the reminder that it's soon going to be my birthday get to me for long in my head as it drove different signals to me. I was supposed to be up and ready to leave according to what i had planned with Raya. Nothing was eventually stopping me and this was entirely what I was looking forward to but suddenly the urge to run away was slowly fading away. Like I could literally feel it and I’ll be deceiving myself if I said that was exactly what I wanted right now. Hate? Yes I still hate him and I also still wanted to find out why I could feel his sincerity through those words he uttered to me. You can pretend and fake sincerity but you can never fake it so badly that the other person listening doesn’t feel it to know if you are lying or not. “Oh my, thank goodness you are fine.” Her voice brought me completely out of it as I stared into complete emptiness. I must have stayed still for so long, thinking and drowning myself that I didn’t real
~Lily~ “Are you okay baby?” My mom didn’t waste time and went all out with examining my body and her eyes showing too much concern right now like she just saved me from the lion's den. “I’m fine mom, why are you so worked up?” I found myself asking after removing the hand I placed aimlessly on my forehead, that depicted my lack of understanding what was going on. I wanted to go on and ask all the questions in my head but I held back and swallowed all the words at the tip of my tongue, knowing I should be grateful right now that I got out. “Definitely not what I heard so I have to double check.” She didn’t agree with me and still continued. She changed tactics this time around, making it seem all funny and held back my laughter, trying to link one and two together. “Molly got to you?” I asked the question without even thinking twice about it. I already even concluded that it got to be that or nothing else. And while her actions were funny to me, holding back was gettin
~Kade~ “I just need to speak to him for a minute, it’s very important.” She kept on begging and pleading with her eyes as she didn’t dare go all touchy with me. “He’s busy. If it’s so important you can relate it to me and then I’ll surely let him know.” I faced with all seriousness so she could back off. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me anything before knowing that she was outright lying to my face and making up excuses just to meet Jaden. I guess keen eyes can be awarded to me after walking in the shadow of Jaden and watching his back. I knew everyone that had potentials of being a pest and had to keep details and tabs on them just in case. “I can’t tell it to you, I need to pass this on myself.” She said still speaking so softly that it was irritating to listen to her speak. I’m not sure it was her voice that was making me lose my patience. It had to be the very fact that I still remembered clearly what she had done to my future Luna. Yes
~Lily~ This was all looking extremely far from all the tricks we went round with or used to go round with. Now it was looking so scary and trying to put up a face or pretend my way through this wasn’t what I wanted to do. It was meant to be the end point as I opened my mouth and spilled all that I should, securing myself from whatever he had planned. He went calm, his eyes lowered, staring and holding mine in place. It wasn’t too surprising anymore since it had become a norm for days now. The words he spoke next also kept me quiet as I listened with utmost interest since it all revolved around me. He explained himself, saying things I thought I’ll never hear him ever say. ‘The almighty Jaden was apologising to us?’ I asked Raya as we found it so unbelievable but that thing in the depth of us could witness with him that he was being sincere. You could sense and see it with the way his eyes moved and looked so soft and gentle even they gazed directly at
~Jaden~ “Do you need anything?” I asked her, watching closely as I managed to make her sit on my bed with my different sets of portraits pushed to one side of the room. I didn’t really think about what to do aside from sticking my hands all over her body and places where she’ll definitely not be in support of. “Anything that’ll keep me alive would be fine.” She uttered with so much anger in her voice that I held back the urge to laugh at how cute she looked even when she tried to frown. I pretty much was blind and too carried away by pain and past events that I let it cloud my emotions and even my person. It was going to be hard to actually prove anything to her but I’ll try my best to make it quicker as I want her always with me. “Got that. Anything else you’ll need or you want to try to be a more specific lollipop?” I tried my luck one more time with her. “Yeah, how about your head on a platter and you stop calling me that.” She snapped with her head bringing out
