~Asher~ What the hell did I just do? I couldn’t withhold the urge to have her close to me. I wanted my hands everywhere his hands were on her body. I knew she wasn’t going to the restroom with that look of shock on her face. I followed her scent outside and I planned to only watch her from a distance to avoid any lurking eyes but I couldn’t hold back as her scent drew me in. Her skin felt soft against my hands and the look of her face up close reminded me of how much she was mine. I stood still with her handprints still fresh in my cheeks. What the hell did I just do?! If I really wanted to sort things out and still keep her then I shouldn’t really be doing all this? I can’t really be threatening and ignoring her one minute and the next minute I want only my hands on her body. This wouldn’t have been an issue if only she didn’t disappear and went out of my reach four years ago. “Arghh what do I really do with Hazel?” I roared from the insides as a load of t
~Asher~ After hearing those words come out from his mouth my brain clicked reset and I dug and pushed my fist right into his face continuously till I got conscious of my actions. I needed him right under my roof for more torture, this wasn’t going to do. I’m not letting him off so easily. He was the reason why I had to let Hazel go, it was all these weak wolf’s doing?! I still couldn’t believe it as the urge to let Fenris take over was my favourite thing to do right now but I could smell her moving closer. “You are coming with me!” I dragged him out with no one in sight as everyone was in the hall. I could continue just what I started when I get back to the pack house because I’m not done with him yet, I only just got started. I got to where the cars were parked and put him where he belonged for now, right in the trunk. Maybe my plans of zooming off with Hazel when I couldn’t get enough of their touchy stuff with Tristan really wasn’t a bad one as I had a spare
~Hazel~I couldn’t stand looking at him was the only thing that crossed my mind when I stood at the entrance of the hall. With my hands still on the doorknob, I contemplate going in and having to face Asher when he bones in after me, knowing just what transpired like a minute ago. The tall bulky trees looked more welcoming as I fixed my gaze towards where I could find peace for a few minutes. It was like the whooshing sound was welcome me, inviting me in for a run. I could hear Kyra nod in agreement as i took large and quick steps all the way into the woods, somewhere from Asher and everyone for a while. This was a looking like a good idea after walking for a while then I took off my gown and placed it nicely beside a fallen tree. I’ll just be out for a few more minutes, I wasn’t with my phone or anything that I could use to keep track of time. I purposely didn’t come out with anything. My plan was to have an alone time, taking in the fresh air without issues o
~Asher~“What do you mean he was behind those letters?!” Ross asked in confusion. I could see the wild shock on his face when I opened the trunk and I personally dragged the bast**d out of the car. He followed and watched me tie him down to a chair inside the basement. We never ever handled serious or external matters in the pack house so I can guess he had a lot to ask me right now. He watched closely and quietly as I threw my fists into the bast**d face multiple types till i was satisfied. Who was I kidding? there was no way I could get satisfied in dealing with him. I still needed to know why he did it, he looked so weak. I can’t believe I sent Hazel out because of this weakling. “Can you tell me what’s going on now?” His voice came up as our weakling went unconscious, his face was barely recognizable now. “Do you want to get something out of him? Why don’t you try asking questions so he can give you what you need?” Ross stood looking at me in awe wit
~Hazel~ This was the last place I wanted to be in knowing just how that image with me and Asher against the wall had been hunting me for days. We were back at the heart of the silver oak but it felt different today. The cold wasn’t there, it was a normal temperature. “Why does it feel different here?” I thought out loud, was something wrong with the trees? I could have told Tristan all that happened at the function and I’m sure he would have kept me away with any excuse he could find. But I can’t do that, I can’t possibly drag him into every issue I have and besides I still need to refresh my memory about the weapons. “I don’t think so maybe you should ask Alpha Asher, I’m sure he’ll have an answer to that.” Ross turned his head to face me fully with a smile. I was doing my possible best avoiding Asher so I stood close to Tristan and Ross. No way I’m talking to him. I already outdid myself by coming here against all odds. I had to prepare myself to face him t
~Hazel~Thankfully the cutting down took a lot of time and we eventually didn’t have to talk all day. I messaged Rose that I was going to be home for dinner. I didn’t want to waste any time and went home to meet my baby immediately after they left. We had something in the fridge so Rose was going to heat it up and we’ll eat. I can’t really trust Jaden’s stomach under her supervision. I had to cook a lot and refrigerate them so all they had to do was heat it up when I wasn’t around. “I think I should give you a heads up.” Rose whispered to my hearing immediately she opened the door for me, towering me with her body. “Why? Anything happened to Jaden? Did you give him his medicine on time?” A lot ran through my mind at the moment. I couldn’t afford another episode right now with all I was going through. If anything happened to my baby I’ll make sure to never forgive Asher. “Calm down Hazel, do you think I’m not capable of taking care of him?” I heard the hurt i
~Hazel~ “Mama, why don’t I have a daddy like everyone else?” Everything seized and for a moment I forgot how to breathe. I know I’ve been waiting for him to ask but facing the question right now, it wasn't what I expected. What was I to tell him? I could feel Rose pity eyes on me as I refused to raise my head with my spoon still in my hand. “Baby we’ve talked about not talking while eating, let’s eat first and we’ll talk after.” I put on a small forced out smile. I had to be okay , I just had to. I knew this day would come, even though I thought he wasn’t going to ask anytime soon since he hasn't asked for a longtime now. What would I tell him? I couldn’t eat any faster as I didn’t know what to say to him. Should I tell him that his father is dead? Even if it’s nothing far from the truth, I don’t think I could really do that to my son. But the thoughts that he has a father out there but not with him could arouse more questions if I told him that. I watched
~Tristan~ “You don’t think I should ask for her reply now?” I know I should be more patient with Hazel but lately I’ve been feeling weird, like something would just crawl out of nowhere and snatch her away from me. I need no soothsayer to tell me who that was. I could see his eyes watching her every second. Even when he acted like she wasn’t there, I could tell he took note of every single thing she did. His eyes followed her everywhere and I planned to ignore it and just keep up with the acting but I can’t. Anytime he looked at her made my insides twitch and I became suddenly angry for no reason. I knew I wanted her the first time I saw her and I wanted to do everything I could to keep her safe. “If you don’t think you should waste any more time then you can ask for her reply.” Jason uttered with no expressions. I couldn’t blame him, since he came back all I’ve done was tell how Hazel promised to give me a reply and how I wanted Asher away from her. Jason was my r
~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
~Lily~ “So I also don’t get to choose where to stay? I know you know nothing about fun, but when a free day is mentioned, it’s most likely related with anything that’s not working.” I run my lips, hating to be quiet today. If he’s going to play this his way and keep me here then I’ll also talk and if possible cause great harm to his eardrums that he’ll send me out himself. “Fun is whatever we say is fun, lollipop. And the pictures I have up here are every bit of fun but what we don’t know is, if it’s fun to you yet.” He muttered pointing to his head as he made it sound like he could see right through me and afterwards made close eye contact with me after my very best efforts at avoiding it. I held my breath for a second, trying my best to hold his gaze too as I long avoided looking his way since I came in. I never ever took notes and I feel like punishing myself for taking notes now as I stood still, the words hooked on my throat with his mention of the pictur
~Lily~ “Lee, are you okay? Did he do anything to you?” Her eyes followed my every move, waiting patiently till I entered my room. Of course I knew with that public show of the one alpha we both hated, carrying me on his back and talking strangely like he didn’t want to push a spike through my heart, would definitely arouse suspicions and lord of questioning from Molly. I did the best I could and went straight to my room not knowing what I was going to say to her. I didn’t tell her anything the last time and clearly hawk wasn’t bothered about others having their own different thoughts. “I’m fine, he was just filling in for Kade.” I said to her putting on a smile so she wouldn’t suspect anything. She stood there for a minute, watching me closely like if she stayed longer I would break. “I’m guessing you have a lot to tell me because they couldn’t be all.” She finally concluded, opening my door and stepped in first. “Okay I’m all ears, let’s go.” Sh
