~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
