~Hazel~After following Tristan’s instructions and following his lead and then his surprise kiss on my lips, I was shocked to the core and didn’t say a word as he drove me back home. Still shocked as the words couldn’t and wouldn’t come out of my mouth. I couldn’t just ask him why he did that even while I knew about his feelings. I wasn’t a freak but I was only keeping quiet because I thought that asking him questions would make him a lot pained after what I had done to me. ‘I shouldn’t be shocked or react in any way, should I? A part of me already knew that I was going to end up with Tristan so that Jaden could have a father figure.’ I was way too deep in thought before realising that Tristan had stopped and was parked right outside my house. “I’m sorry if that surprised you. I don’t regret it and I hope it happens more often.” He muttered with a smile as I turned to face him at once. Really? I was trying to find excuses in my head so I could forget about the
~Hazel~ Was this how it felt with Asher finally out of here? I stared widely through the window as I sat up on my bed. It felt strange that all I had to do from now on was to get up, get Jaden ready for school and probably go open the bakery. I was back to my normal routine and it felt strange. “Hey good morning!” She barged in without knocking again and greeted cheerfully. Well isn’t this too much vibrancy for someone with a headache. “Good morning. I thought you had headaches?” I questioned with one eye up at her, monitoring every of her movements. “That was yesterday, it’s a new day and I’m better now.” A grin sat playfully on her face as she looked up at me with clear eyes. “What’s with you and breaking the rules you make?” I let her follow my eyes and see them gazing at the door and then back at her. Doesn’t take much time and energy to knock before entering or she could easily just call on to me before entering. “Well let’s just agree they don’t count
~Asher~ “Bring her out!” I’ve had enough of her tantrums as my ears were hungry for the information she claimed she had. It could also be that she was lying and trying to buy herself time. She wasn’t useful to me anymore and there wasn’t any need to keep her here or torture Leo with having to keep watch on her every single time. I allowed whatever she tried pulling off yesterday because I could see the thin line between life and death that she was hanging on. I guess she wasn’t dumb enough and thought to buy herself some time. I had them put her right in the basement where she could smell her accomplices’ blood if she really had anything to do with it. The smell of weak blood still hovered around the room as I would do more than that just when I found out who was behind this. I’ll have their life squeezed roughly out of them and then spread abroad, every one of their loved ones as they stole four years from me and now still want to take more. They would feel
~Hazel~ “What?! Where?!!!” I could feel my walls come crashing down as the most feared news came to my hearing. This had to be another prank right? Rose thought she couldn’t get me last time and so she plotted with the school head right? I didn’t want to believe what I just heard as I held my head in place with my legs trembling, refusing to stand in place as they both gave out and I went crashing down. I sat confused on the floor trying to get a grasp of everything I was told. My body drenched in fear as I was flat on the floor in the bakery all alone. I should be running and on my way to the emergency but I went frozen forgetting how to stand up or what to think as I didn’t completely believe it. The doors moved open and spread ajar as she walked in a hurry and crouched down to get me up. “What happened Hazel?” She could sense my fear and worry as she tried shaking the snap out of me. “The hospital! I have to get to the hospital!” I barked out in fear as I got
~Asher~ I tried to make sense of everything as the words jingle and float around my head. She can’t be serious and she also can’t be joking with her life. I stood up, moved around like I was losing it because I was and I didn’t know what to do about it. I could hear her heartbeat and her slow breath. She wasn’t lying and I knew it. But how? How the fuck did I not know about it and what am I supposed to do?I moved around the room with their eyes up at me with shock clearly written on their face as the knowledge hit them that their alpha had a child, a possible next alpha in line which they ought to Protect with their lives. “It a joke right?” I asked no one in particular as I paced round the room with my hands on my face trying to calm the hell down as my insides turn and burn into flames. The realization hit me again as I muttered audibly “Wait! She fucking had a child for four years and she didn’t thought to learn me know about it?!!” I barked out loud pushing t
~Hazel~ We sat there for hours watching Jaden with keen eyes fighting for his life. It was real! My baby was in danger and all I could do was to just sit and watch him closely, letting the tears drop freely from my eyes. I begged him to wake up and play all the pranks on me except this but he didn’t budge. I begged him that he could paint all day and he still didn’t budge or even blinked his eyes. I held on to his hands tightly as my life depended on it. The thoughts of everything we had to go through together hit me real hard as I cried profusely. “I’m sorry baby, I should have told you your father was right here in this kingdom when you asked.” I muttered in between sobs as I spoke out hoping he could atleast hear me. “I should have allowed you stay up when you wanted to and allowed you play all kinds of games you want to.” I thought of everything I could use to persuade him to open his eyes as my heart was bleeding right in his hand. I bowed my head in te
~Hazel~ I could feel their eyes bore into me as I spoke into the phone holding back my tears and forcing him to come here. “What if he doesn’t come?” The possibility hung out freely in my head as he might think I was pulling a joke on him. I put my hands back in my pocket contemplating if I should call him back and tell him his son’s life depended on it or I could march all the way to the blood moon pack and get him to come here. I knew what was at stake and I don’t mind or care about it as long as I get Jaden out of danger first. “You can get whatever you need ready to save my son, I’ll get the blood for you.” I tried to get it out all at once without shaking or sobbing. He nodded and walked out with the doors closing up behind him. He moved closer and stood a few feet from me as I clung on to my son's hand as Rose went to hold on to the other hand. “Are you sure about this?” His eyes looked up at me deeper than ever as he wanted me to be well aware of what
~Hazel~ “Hazel” his voice ordered our attention his way as he was looking calm but you could hear the underneath alarm as I could bet he wasn’t any calm on the insides. We stood up all at once as he walked towards me not minding Tristan who walked in front of me, using his body to shield me away from Asher. “It’s fine Tristan, can you both give us a minute” I asked to be left alone as I already prepared the speech I was going to give to him. I wasn’t going to beg and plead, I was going to make demands that he was going to answer and adhere to. He turned back to face me after giving Asher a once over and with his now firm face he whispered to my hearing before leaving “don’t forget my suggestion, I would love to keep Jaden as my own.” I let their backs fade away and go completely out of sight before turning to look directly at his face. “You are going to go in there and give your blood to save him and bring him out of danger!” I spelt out audibly, taking my stance a
