~Hazel~ “What’s the problem Hazel, what are you not telling me?” He asked, towering over me as he gazed into my eyes to search for his answers. With the way Rose zoomed outside upon hearing his voice, I know there was no way to ask her to get me out of this. Standing upright to look up at him “it’s nothing, I just didn’t know what to say to you after ruining your night” I said, telling half the truth. He doesn’t need to know anything and definitely not about Asher. “You didn’t ruin anything, my night would have been shit if you didn’t go with me in the first place.” He adds revealing a small smile which showed too much emotions in it for a lycan king. I stand there barely reaching his chest as I wonder what he really expects from a single mom who is just a lone wolf in his kingdom. “Why did she call you a slut? I swear I wanted to split her throat” he muttered with a fierce look and the bloodshot eyes he has on whenever he was to spill some blood comes upfront. I
~Hazel~ “What’s the problem?” He said immediately into his phone as his face changed. I don’t know if anything is wrong or if anything happened but I’m glad the call came in. Whoever is the reason for the call is such a lifesaver. What exactly would I have told him? That my child’s father hurt me?! I couldn’t tell him the truth on why I ran away and it’ll remain like that. I couldn’t lose the peace I’ve found now and Jaden is safer here. “Bring him here, I totally forgot we had a meeting.” He mutters through the phone. “Who’s coming over? Do you need me to prepare anything?” I asked, wanting nothing but to return to our old conversation. “No, it's fine. It should be a quick one,it’s Alpha Asher and it’s just to go over some propositions” he uttered saying nothing else as he stared at me knowing fully well that I avoided his question about Jaden’s father. I take my words back, that man is no life saver but a destroyer. “Don’t you think you need to go to the head h
~Asher~ After seeing his proposal I just couldn’t back down, I needed to come see for myself. He wanted to do business with us and was granting free access to his kingdoms and was asking the same from mine. There are a thousand things I could gain from this but I wanted to know if there’s another motive. Everyone always wants to be on the winning side so why do I seem to gain more from this proposal if I agree to it? On getting to the head house with my beta and enforcers, I saw just how functional and big his kingdom was. And when I heard that we would have the meeting somewhere else, my defences were up but agreed. I need to know if it’s a trap. “Aunty Rose!” I heard a faint voice call out. Then the scent hit me, I looked back in a hurry looking at my beta and enforcers. They looked all too normal with their defences up, having no single idea what I smelled. I turned to look back again to where I smelled the wolf and was backed by a lycan who was definitely talking to so
~Hazel~ What does he really want from me?! He doesn’t even know what happened and he called me easy? I couldn’t stop it as the tears roll down freely from my cheeks. Can’t he just let me be! He tried destroying me once and still wants to do it again?! I won’t let him get to me, I whispered to myself with teary eyes. I know Tristan made him leave as I heard little murmuring, then came a loud bang from the entrance door. I don’t want to see either of them, and I couldn’t face Tristan right now. I don’t want to ever appear weak in front of any man ever again. It happened once and I won’t let it happen again. Putting all your trust on one person has taught me my biggest lesson and to be sincere I don’t think I can ever trust a man by letting my defences down ever again. I’ve been sent out and rejected once and I’ll never put myself through that ever again. The tears run freely as I let out the muffled cry I’ve been holding in as I heard another bang of the front door.
~Hazel~ It’s been days after the incident with Asher at the bakery and I’ve tried my very best to let go of everything. The insults and pain tried to make it harder to let go but I focused my mind on what’s more important, and that’s my life here, my best friend and the safety of my son. That’s all there should be as I prepare to start business for the day. I rarely had customers as most of them only come in for coffee. I only get busy when it’s a little lycan’s birthday and I’ll have to bake cakes and all the fun things that they love. I haven’t spoken or seen Tristan since his meeting with Asher on my turf and he hasn’t come in using the excuse of coffee and doughnuts as he always does when I don’t show up and wants to see me. He’s definitely been talking to Rose, her eyes gave her away that she’s keeping something. It’s either he had her promise to not tell me or she feels it’s better I don’t worry about it. ‘What really will it take to completely move on?’ I thoug
~Hazel~ “What’s going on?” I asked, stopping Jason who was walking in a hurry. It wasn’t any news that Jason assisted Tristan in almost all the matters concerning their kingdom. Everyone seemed so busy as they tried to put one and two together, making everywhere stand out. “The blood moon pack will be coming very soon.” He said quickly before moving past me. “Wait, what do you mean coming over?!” I asked expecting no answer in return as Jason was already out of sight. Everyone knew Jason was a man of few words and rarely spoke unless when necessary. He always looked lethal and fierce unlike Marcus who walked around with a smile. I calmed my nerves down as I’ve gotten used to being around lycans with their huge physique always towering over me. I must have heard wrongly, I reasoned within myself. Why would they be coming here? The wolves and lycans never really conversed or got together at any time but recently they’ve been trying to build some sort of relationshi
~Hazel~ With Marcus all over the place and towering over me with every change he got, I couldn’t be any faster but thank the goddess I was able to finish in time before Tristan came back in. “I’m so sorry to disturb you on such short notice” he pleaded as he stepped into the kitchen. “It’s fine. I couldn’t have denied you.” I uttered, forcing a smile before letting it freely have its way when I realised how the blood moon alpha would be elated after having deserts. With a huge smile on my face, I let it stay knowing fully well that it was worth it if my plans worked out well. “They look so colourful and yummy, if I could just pop one inside my mouth.” He added looking over the doughnuts arranged like a fountain on each palette. “Too bad you can’t eat them” Marcus mocked with a smirk. Ignoring him after a once over, Tristan faces me now “it’s late Hazel, and I already called Rose to watch over Jaden for the night.” He murmured, putting his hands behind his hea
~Hazel~ With everyone’s eyes glued on me, I pretend they aren’t staring and pick up my spoon and start eating. You look very pretty in that dress, Hazel. Now I know why he sent a dozen pictures to pick from.” He moved closer whispering to me with a smile and I pushed him away slightly. Marcus was sitting just after me then two more of Tristan’s enforcers before Asher’s men. “Don’t disturb her Marcus!” Tristan warned, raising his head a little to look me up as he did nothing to correct his brother. We all ate in dead silence as I could feel him glaring at me, I refused to look anywhere else pretending like he’s not there. I only stop to look up when Marcus has something whispered in my ear or Tristan asking me if I needed anything or how the food tasted. “The food wasn’t so bad” his voice resounded as he ordered our faces up to him. I could feel his aura filling up the room, it’s either he’s just being an alpha or he’s pissed. “Did your queen make it?” He asked
~Brittany~ I sw**e the very guts of that outcast was prickling me to my very bones. She was the only reason Jaden wasn’t seeing me. I’ve made my calculations and all and I was definitely the best candidate to pass on as his Luna. My suspicions were also killing me as stupid ideas were coming up by themselves in my head. No! They can’t possibly be mates! I was trying everything possibly to delete that thought in my head forever. Because how else did I want to explain the fact that he completely hated her, hate was even a small word compared to what he actually did feel for her. He loathed her with everything he had and I knew from all the findings I personally did on how to get close to him. He never as much wanted her to breathe in the same air as she did. It was a very simple maths and all it took to quickly be on his radius was to follow her but that would be dangerous and messing with fire since that might actually end you up in his forever short li
~Lily~ “Why the h*ll is she coming here? Did she miss her way?” I asked no one in particular and asked out loud, causing the two people that had refused to talk, to turn and search for the person I was referring to. They remained mute, definitely hoarding the questions they wanted to ask me to themselves. “If it isn't our supposed Luna that isn’t recognized by our alpha yet.” I didn’t know where exactly that came from but I didn’t hold back and just said exactly what I felt like saying. “Exactly why I’m here, I'd like to invite our alpha’s younger sister to a swim out if that’s fine by you.” She said it so simply, smiling pretty weird as she kept her eyes trailed on me the way I did the same to her. I suddenly wasn’t feeling too good about what she just said right now. In all the right senses it was right but somehow it just wasn’t sitting well with me to hear her tell me that I was only his younger sister. “And what makes you think I’ll go
~Lily~ “I’ll give you guys the points you deserve and I’ll say that you were consistent and hard working. The changes might not be too visible for you to see right now but trust me that you’ll be amazed when you are in the face of war.” Jaden spoke so eloquently with one gags in his pocket. He talked like it didn’t take him anything to look so cool and he talked with so much aura that everyone was so interested in what he had to say. “It’s good to see you all are ready to fight and bring an end to all this messing around. We might not be at the face of death itself but trust me that we are walking right into it and nothing is going to stop us.” He continued with his speech, definitely not soft talking to us. We all stood in our rows and columns, with our full attention on him and Kade standing behind his back. His eyes turned to where I was and I didn’t miss that small, manly smile that broke out on his lips as our eyes locked. It caused a ripple i

~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
