~Asher~ Ross knew the right thing to do in this situation as he got busy with Tristan doing anything and saying anything that would distract him to even notice or bat an eye at me. The decision to make was right there, staring at me without glasses. I had to make a decision and choose between two options like I had four years ago. I had to choose in between keeping her safe or keeping her with me to fulfil my own desires. I wish I could be selfish right now and keep her against all odds but I knew exactly what that meant. I sighed deeply as a few days ago I was happy I was getting my mate back. Was busy coming up with plans that would bring her back into my arms even though I could see how much she wanted nothing to do with me. But now it’s another story, what if it takes another four or more years before I can figure out who was behind those notes. I was going crazy and I know it. It was a lot to take in after basking in joy that I could finally have my peac
~Hazel~ Wasn’t such a long day as I spent my time on my phone looking through every article that talked about the mysterious weapon that killed mythical creatures. I had gone through a thousand pictures and I still couldn’t remember anything or even see half pictures in my head. They didn’t look familiar at all and it hurt as it settles in that I might really not be getting any memory back and might likely not be able to help Tristan like i planned to. I know he said it was fine but I really wanted to do this for myself. I wanted to do something for him to feel I wasn’t always in need of help but could render some too. Who exactly was I kidding? I guess I’ll forever be indebted to him and let him handle this the way he wants to handle it. I guess I should have really not agreed to letting Asher continue in these lands. I bite my lips slowly as my mistake registered deeply. I had completely ignored every one of Marcus ' efforts to distract me and force me to liste
~Hazel~ A little saddening to notice that Jaden was fine and didn’t seem in the bit bothered about my whereabouts or my presence at home with him. I took his word for it so I could relieve myself of the guilt and the disturbing thoughts of whether he’ll be fine without me. I had to understand that he was a big boy like he claimed and I could go on with my plans without blowing my covers. Got home to meet Jaden and Rose at the dining table sitting and ready to eat without me. I can remember clearly texting her, telling her that I was going to be home for dinner and she could heat up whatever we had in the fridge before I got back. With my lips closed together in a thin line I stood just right behind the door as I let myself in as it wasn’t locked. What?! Just because I wasn’t almost always around and now they are a lot comfortable having dinner without me? I moved closer to them as they had their plate in front of them with their spoons in hand. “So you b
~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
