~Hazel~ It was Monday again, I couldn’t remember the last time I had to wake up with so much excitement that I was going to have a fulfilling week. Now all I prayed for was time to run just by every single passing day. I missed my norm, where I woke up having in mind that I was only involved in making sure Jaden was fine and I focused on the bakery. I didn’t have any disturbance or worries in my life as I had Rose and Tristan,just the two perfect people. I used to have joy and a sense of happiness not until Asher showed up, wanting to rumple the picture up. He had sent various texts aside the day Jaden heard those hurtful words. If I wasn’t so aware of him I would have thought maybe he really did care with all the disturbing texts he sent as I avoided and declined every one of his calls. I could never repeat a mistake twice, whether with Asher or him hearing Jaden’s voice again. I was up earlier, knowing he’ll show right through those head house doors anytim
~Hazel~His hands behind me relaxed firmly on my back as I tried to remain still not wanting to show forth any expressions. Asher’s face finally came up and maintained eye level with mine as he brought out his phone from his pockets and held it in one hand. I needed to know and hear from Tristan myself? Did he lie and keep me here almost all through last week knowing that Asher wasn’t coming at all? The questions and thoughts that he lied to me was all that went through my mind as I tried to maintain my composure. For all I know, Asher might be doing this purposely to get a reaction from me. I still wanted him away from me so I definitely wouldn’t give him what he wanted. He wasn’t going to get any reactions from me in any way. “Yeah, I got your list. Jason told me about it this morning and reported taking care of it already.” Tristan’s voice came out sternly as I felt him sit right up and gave me a small smile from the side of his eyes. “Okay that’s good. A
~Asher~ If only they could hear every f**king word I said to myself. I acted like I saw nothing and ignored whatever they felt they were both doing. It took absolutely everything in me not to cut those hands that were resting firmly on her back. With the stupid look he had on his face and the delight that could be clearly smelt and seen off his face, I wish I could do exactly just what I had in mind and turn this thing off. I could see right through her that this was clearly an act but I was still at the brink of flaring up. Remaining calm was the only thing I could do, I used the little knowledge I had to calm my nerves not to react in the way I wanted to. I wasn’t looking at her but I could smell her up at any instant, even the slightest flinching she made I could notice everything even when I wasn’t looking at her. Whatever stupid plans they had up their sleeves, it was surely working and getting right under my skin. Even if it was a ploy, Tristan was clearly
~Hazel~How do I get his words out of my head? His words kept coming back to me even after I left for the head house and eventually came back home ready to tuck Jaden in. I wasn’t in the mood to talk with Rose as she kept on asking how my day was. The fear was boldly written on my face and i know she saw it too, that had to be the only reason she let me go to my room without disturbing or probing me with more questions. I couldn’t stand to be there and breathe the same air with him after he threatened to burn the bakery where my son and I stayed. How could he be so heartless and insensitive? His words Pierce me deeply as I know they weren’t just empty threats. What exactly does he want from me? I’ve decided to move on and be the bigger person and yet he still threatens me?! It hurts like hell! I flinched under his hands in my hair because it was unexpected and I felt a knot down the pit of my stomach. I don’t want to feel anything with him but every time he was a few
~Hazel~ (The next day) It was another day to be in the woods, Tristan and I still hung freely around the head house before going out to meet Asher and his men. I could see the same look of curiosity in his eyes when he asked me yesterday what happened when he left with Ross for a few minutes. It was already a settled topic for me so I waved it off, and his eyes lowered a little when I told him that Asher was just being an Alpha and wanted to ask some questions that I didn’t have answers to. It wasn’t necessarily a lie, I know Asher Is doing all these to get under my skin and not for any tangible reason . He might have zero idea on how it’s affecting me and even if he knows, he wouldn’t care about it and will do everything to make sure I was very much uncomfortable. He nodded his head slightly accepting what I had just told him even when his face and body clearly didn’t accept it. He stood firm as his body went rigid from the outside. I could see the re
~Hazel~I was a little nervous when we got a little closer to them, as I could hear them work with different tools in place. I don’t know how long it’s going to take them but I know it’s going to take a lot of time as Asher kept on rambling about being careful with the trees. It would have been a lot faster if the lycans could just fall these trees down without putting in any effort. I mean any wolf could easily do it, even I. I just don’t understand the stress we will have to go in bringing down a tree that isn’t so great in size. We finally got to the heart of the silver oak , or would I rather say the heart of all my problems. Their tall figures came into sight as almost everyone was facing a tree probably feeling it up like they were asked to yesterday. I tense up a bit as Tristan walked away from my side and headed towards Ross who was also feeling up a tree. I guess that would be his best shot if he could come up with anything. Asher wouldn’t say anything
~Hazel~ ‘What did you talk about with him?’ I could tell those were the words he wished to mutter as his eyes were fixed on me. His eyes slowly move over my head before coming to rest on mine again. “Hey, are you guys busy?” With the way he looked at me I didn’t have anything to say aside stating the obvious. “No not really” Ross answered almost immediately as he indicated with his hands that there wasn’t much to do here. He had that same look he had earlier when Ross came over this morning. It was either he was offended by Ross or Ross did something. The only thing new would be Ross talking to me and I really don’t mind. Or maybe he’s acting the part too? Alpha’s are usually very possessive of their Luna and since we are acting the part where they all have to view us as a couple, I guess it’s normal. “Can we talk for a second?” He held my hands in his big ones and led me somewhere within sight but out of anyone’s hearing. “Are you fine? Did he do
~Asher~ She really had a thing of driving me right over the edge every single time. The hell I’ll use every single lycan in this kingdom to threaten her if that would bring her to do my bidding. I was bent on doing it again as I saw the look of horror and fear at the mention of burning down her bakery. I could threaten her to force her into doing exactly what I wanted. I saved myself the drama of watching Tristan eat up Hazel right in front of me. I could lose it and do something that wouldn’t be approved of. I could start a bloody war because of her but I know she’ll hate me even more. I had a lot to think about since I ticked off. You couldn’t just expect me to be calm as I watched Tristen use his hands to feel all part of her body with that stupid smirk that hung freely on his face waiting for me to do justice to it. I was gladly waiting to see her again so I could threaten her again as that seemed like the new normal between us and the comfortable but fierce
