~Hazel~ I Got up early ready to do my normal routine that was becoming the new normal. Atleast I got to sincerely laugh last night which felt good and relaxing. I was expecting Rose to push on with her drama and come right straight into my room demanding I feed her with any news. With the look on her face which was dark and looked exactly like one of those look that spelt out cruelty. I literally thought for a second there that I had done something wrong to her. I pushed thoughts of last night to the back of my mind as I had pressing matters to face today. “I’ll need you to comply with whatever I ask you to do tomorrow and trust me that it will keep him away for good.” His words now freshly re echoed and it was all I could think of. I hadn’t thought of it because of the shocker prank but now I was in the clear after a good night's sleep of blowing every unwanted thought and picture out of my head. What does he want me to do that could possibly send Ashe
~Hazel~ I stepped out of the car waiting for Tristan to come over to me before going in and suddenly our eyes met and he held it there in place staring straight into my eyes with his silver grey eyes a little softer than it ever was. Tristan’s voice broke our eye contact as he came to stand beside me and held my hands in his. “Are you ready to go in?” He asked for my attention as I turned to look up at him. “Yes I am, let’s go and see what we can make.” I told him with a smile as we faced the building and turned to walk right in. He wasn’t there anymore. He was standing close to the entrance a few minutes ago but he wasn’t there all of a sudden. “Are you looking for someone? Marcus isn’t here” he asked as his words reminded me clearly that everyone here were strangers and the only person I could be looking for was Marcus and he wasn’t here. “No, I just thought I saw something.” I composed myself with my hands still in his as I pushed whatever I saw in Asher’s
~Hazel~ “Trust me when I say he doesn’t want me standing so close to you, I could just have my legs cut off.” That was all he said as he moved elsewhere leaving me alone standing right in the middle of everyone. ‘What? Didn’t he bring me here himself?’ I scoffed just at the thought of it. They all looked busy as their eyes were fully fixed on their business and thankfully they didn’t look my way. This building wasn’t exactly built for resting or relaxing as there wasn’t any seats in sight but I scanned the whole place and finally found something I could sit on. I sat just where I could face them and try to make anything out of their body movement. I honestly didn’t know if I should keep my eyes on them or look elsewhere as Tristan’s words of taking care of it lingered right in my head. If I was right and saw clearly , the look on his face right now was that of investment. He looked so invested in what he was doing and I don’t know why that makes me a lot susp
~Asher~I wanted to catch a glimpse of her face before I fully made up my decision. I knew he was close by and that he was going to come with her. Just a look at her beautiful face and I could calm this raging storm in me. That I was left with the same decision years ago and my response was expected to be the same wasn’t calming at all. I couldn’t put her life in danger because I love her and she’s my mate. Did I sin gravely in my past life that they are taking away all my chances to be with my mate. I watched her come down from his car first and I got to stare at her beautiful face for those few seconds that looked like eternity. That was my one time to engrave every look I could get from her and store them in my heart. I know he saw me as he quickly moved to her side, cutting our eye contact. I went back in to meet Ross and ask if there wasn’t any sudden news. I didn’t want to leave her ever again but no leads meant her life was in danger and I wouldn’t do that
~Tristan~I’ve held back for way too long with him. I notice every of her movements and reactions towards him and I only ignore the pain it causes in my chest because it was Hazel, and I couldn’t be angry at my Wolfy. He was the problem here and I needed him out of my territory no matter what it took. There were a lot of things I turned a blind eye to, not because I really wanted to but because I had to for her sake. She was going to make the same mistake all over again and I wouldn’t allow her to do that knowing it’ll break her. I personally took note right from the function night. It wasn’t hard to put one and two together knowing she was out for too long and Asher still wasn’t back. His beta did all to keep me seated and I allowed it knowing that if I stood up and went in search of her, this night wouldn’t go as peaceful for anyone as it seemed right now. I calmly waited for her return, prepared not to question as I gave her the doubt of not doing anything w
~Asher~ I should have fucking bled to death right there and then as I watched him strip me of what was mine and I couldn’t react or do anything to stop him as that would be endangering her life. It fucking hurt as it rang out loudly in my head that she was better off without me as she would be out of danger. I wasn’t in the slightest worried about the deal as I would have done that even if he didn’t. My job was to try avoiding her today while I got sneak pics of her. It was my last day here as I was going to stop coming over to see her. I could jungle between keeping my distance from her and still getting to stare at her face but I knew that wasn’t going to work as I might want to feel her up again after being tortured, watching her tempting body and soft lips only from the sidelines. The mention of her lips in my thoughts brought his face to mind and how he freaking kissed her. I shake it off my head as I looked round for what I could destroy as I had alrea
~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
~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
~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
