~Asher~ It’s been over a week now since we signed the deal and we were supposed to meet on neutral grounds to discuss the proposal. One of the reasons I’m greatly feared and respected is how everyone In my pack is secured. I run a 24/7 sure security and outsiders aren’t allowed into the pack. I’ll be meeting Tristan a few stops outside my pack borders as he isn't allowed in yet. On getting there, I walked towards the small shed where we agreed to meet. “Asher '' he called out as he stood with his right hand man. It was supposed to be a closed meeting with just us but there was no way you could go anywhere without your second in command as we both know we don’t fully trust each other. “Tristan” I replied with a nod as I walked towards where they were standing with Ross. “Are you sure about this?” Ross whispered to me, maintaining his stance as he kept his eyes on both Tristan and Jason. I know just how much he distrusts them, I do too but I believe he has an idea why
~Hazel~ It's been a week and some days since I last saw Tristan, with his suggestions dangling in my head. This week has been my best week since all these issues started arising, and it started with Asher. I’m always meant to worry when I know he can just walk in anytime just to taunt me. But if I can agree to act as Tristan’s queen he wouldn’t be able to overstep as he should be bound to respect another’s supposed queen right? These were the times I wished to shift, to find solace with my wolf, Kyra. I stopped shifting frequently after I found a home with the lycans. I wanted nothing to remind me of Asher as I had lots of memories of my wolf running with him and cuddling a lot of times. Moving with a small bag I walk along the side away from the bakery and my house, heading towards the tall trees. I walk a long distance wanting to be away from prying eyes. This was the only time I had now as it was still school hours. I hated to turn in front of others and loath
~Hazel~“What’s going on Hazel?” I asked her while waiting for a reply as we gazed into each other's eyes and I could see hers was flooded with worry. “Mummy!! Aunty rose!” His tiny voice drew our attention, breaking away our gaze as she tried to hide her worries. “My baby!” I stretched out my arms as he ran into them for a big hug before walking toward Rose and hugged her legs as he didn’t want to be carried. “Aunty rose! We had a deal” he whined as Rose wanted to lift him up for a proper hug and I became curious about the deal. “Okay okay a deal is a deal” she answered letting out a smile with her hands in the air as we walked back to the shop together. “So what’s this deal about?” I asked, peering into their eyes as I felt a lot left out with the both of them avoiding my question. I watch Rose nudge Jaden's arm slightly and he moves a little. “Mama it’s nothing, we just agreed that no hugs outside the school gate.” He said looking at Rose like she forced him t
~Hazel~After sharing some quiet moments with Rose and letting the silence do nothing but eat us up as the decision was made, I’ll be acting as his queen and maybe my heart might open up to him. Covering the short distance, I walked back home wanting to tuck Jason in as it was already late and walking into his room I was greeted with his calm and cute face as he had quite similar features with his Asher. He slept quietly on his bed with his drawing book and crayons sprawled out on the bed. I walk back to the bakery with my phone in hand to call Tristan as I haven’t said anything to him since that day and he hadn’t called either. I glance at the light shining from the phone with his name displayed boldly. ‘This was the right thing to do’ I kept on assuring myself as the image of Jaden being mocked in class kept bugging me. He picked after the first ring “hey wolfy” he said calmly like he’s been waiting for my call to come in. “Hi Tristan” I greeted, taking in a deep bre
~Hazel~ I was up making breakfast and trying to get Jaden ready for school when his text came in. ‘On my way, I’ll drive you guys to school.’ “Hurry up baby, you don’t want to be late for school” I already dressed him and went ahead to serve him a quick breakfast of toast and eggs before Tristan arrives. “I’m coming mama, I need to get my bag” he called out with his tiny voice as he walked out of his room and towards the small dining area I had set up when I had enough to start buying furnitures. “Uncle Tan would be taking us to school today. You can start eating without me, we wouldn’t want to keep him waiting.” I bent a little to kiss his cheeks as I walked back to the kitchen to clean up. “Yay! Uncle Tan is coming.” He nodded with huge smiles as he began to munch on his food. I love the friendly relationship between the two of them and sometimes I wish I could give him more. The rough sound of engine pulling over fills the air as Jaden runs down after t
~Asher~ I watched her come down from his car with Tristan’s hand at her back as they walked towards us. We got here a few minutes ago and was told by one of his men that he was out but would be back shortly. We decided to wait as he was to lead us to the silver oak trees. I had series of discussions with Ross after the one on one meeting with Tristan and he kept on nagging about why I was riled up about Hazel when I single handedly sent her out. His exact words were these, “what the hell were you thinking? You wanted to start a war for a girl you threw out?” He bluntly told me, looking me in the eyes. “A bloody war is exactly what I’ll start!” My tight fist kiss his face as I answered him with a growl. Ross is my childhood friend and that’s the only thing keeping him breathing and standing next to me. He understands me better than anyone else and is the only one that can stand up to me and still live on. Her face became clear as I fixed my eyes on her, st
~Hazel~I could see the worry in Tristan’s eyes as the plan was never to leave me alone with Asher. But if I let him go alone, then he might likely come over to the shop and walk in when Jaden was around and innocently playing around the shop. I tried to tell him with my eyes that it was okay and I’ll be fine. This monster couldn’t eat me up, he could only try to break me but I wouldn’t allow him. I suddenly had found the courage to talk back to him as my son's need for safety pushed me to be bolder. I could feel his eyes all over me from when we both came down from the car till when Tristan stood up for his call and came back. I wanted to call him out on it but refrained after thinking that he might be purposely doing it just to spite me or force me to react to it. I wasn’t here for his games,neither here to be his game either, so I did what I could and ignored him all through as I could feel him boiling as I paid no attention to his tactics. I thought for a secon
~Hazel~ He had a cold look on his face as his face became unreadable when I stole a quick glance. What?! So now he’s quiet? He thinks I can’t return the favour and snap right back at him. I would do it at every opportunity I get to make him pay for everything he made me and my son go through. “I guess staying with the lycans has surely given you lots of courage” he muttered through clenched teeth as he looked me over with a deadly stare. “Better than staying with corny wolves..” i muttered back as he gave me a quick cold stare as he looked like he would strangle me and I caught Ross look over the rear view mirror not to look at me but at his alpha and I understood that he was definitely mind linking him as I felt Asher lean back into his seat as his aura filled the air showing just how pissed he was right now. I knew I had overstepped and at this point I shouldn’t really say much as he might pounce on me. After driving for what seemed like an hour because of the ten
