~Hazel~ Was expecting his text but didn’t expect it to come so soon. After my promise to him, I went back home holding dear to the fact and hoping that my assurance of Jaden’s safety would drive all my worries away. I got home to meet just Rose in the house. It’s really not like me to forget when it’s a school day or not. Wasn’t the first time happening and it doesn’t look like it would be the last. I only just gave an answer that would keep and gave Asher more liberty here, I really should have thought it through. He’s lurking around definitely won’t be stopping anytime soon because I wanted to try and get some specific memories back for Tristan and it’s disheartening enough that I could only get it through Asher. . His reasons for staying are way too obvious. It was clear he would do absolutely anything to make sure he drives home his point. That he thought so low of me and the words he said to Tristan still stuck fresh in my heart. I didn’t know which was more
~Hazel~ Or could she have lost faith in the moon goddess after something tragic happened to them?… “You want to talk about it?” I looked at her softly with caring eyes. I knew what it felt to grow up without a mom and be forced to live with a step mom and a step sister who weren’t any good to me. “No I don’t think so” she marked out straight with gusting eyes belittling whatever she just said. I could clearly see what she was doing, it was what I always did with her, trying to make it sound like nothing serious while making up faces to deem it nothing serious. Well too bad for her that I already knew the tactics and a heads up on what to expect next. “You sure about that?” I knew for a fact that I couldn’t necessarily squeeze what I wanted to hear out of her as I thought within me if I should press further or let it be. “I’m sure, I just choose to believe what I want to and I don’t plan to add her to my list.” She pointed out referring to the moon goddess. I s
~Hazel~ It was another day to go through set down plans so I could get what I want in time. I had begged Kyra after we ate dinner and climbed into bed to please help me get my memories back. As simple as it sounded it wasn’t the easiest task to do as we tried over the years to erase and forget every single thing about Asher. That name by now should be alien to us as he was a complete stranger to us but here I was wanting the very things I made up my mind never to remember. “You can stay in today, I could tell him you didn’t feel like coming out and wanted to rest in.” Why we had to tell him anything in the first place sounded so wrong and I felt invaded. I was still wary in the one place I thought I could let down my guards after four years of consistent no troubles. I could have used that excuse a lot if I wasn’t worried about Asher finding out about my son. I guess the case is quite different now, Asher now thinks I’m in a relationship with Tristan. Soon to
~Asher~ “Can we pass by at her bakery?” I expected the look on his face right now as he moved quickly to look at me, removing his eyes from the road. “She’s definitely not there and it’s quite the opposite route of where we are supposed to take.” His voice muttered calmly as I saw the look on his face. He refrained from saying what he truly wanted to say. We were not going to start dealing with the weapon making at the head house but somewhere else. I think he called it their station house and sent us a location on how to meet him there. I knew she wasn’t going to be there and would most likely be with Tristan still busy with her introductions to his brother. Yes, coupled with her breaking news and Ross news after our guest death I had to calm down and think through whatever I had to do. The next thing I had him find out was who Marcus was and the hell it was Tristan’s younger brother? What exactly was she thinking I can’t believe I was back to literally cons
~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
~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
