~Hazel~ This was the last place I wanted to be in knowing just how that image with me and Asher against the wall had been hunting me for days. We were back at the heart of the silver oak but it felt different today. The cold wasn’t there, it was a normal temperature. “Why does it feel different here?” I thought out loud, was something wrong with the trees? I could have told Tristan all that happened at the function and I’m sure he would have kept me away with any excuse he could find. But I can’t do that, I can’t possibly drag him into every issue I have and besides I still need to refresh my memory about the weapons. “I don’t think so maybe you should ask Alpha Asher, I’m sure he’ll have an answer to that.” Ross turned his head to face me fully with a smile. I was doing my possible best avoiding Asher so I stood close to Tristan and Ross. No way I’m talking to him. I already outdid myself by coming here against all odds. I had to prepare myself to face him t
~Hazel~Thankfully the cutting down took a lot of time and we eventually didn’t have to talk all day. I messaged Rose that I was going to be home for dinner. I didn’t want to waste any time and went home to meet my baby immediately after they left. We had something in the fridge so Rose was going to heat it up and we’ll eat. I can’t really trust Jaden’s stomach under her supervision. I had to cook a lot and refrigerate them so all they had to do was heat it up when I wasn’t around. “I think I should give you a heads up.” Rose whispered to my hearing immediately she opened the door for me, towering me with her body. “Why? Anything happened to Jaden? Did you give him his medicine on time?” A lot ran through my mind at the moment. I couldn’t afford another episode right now with all I was going through. If anything happened to my baby I’ll make sure to never forgive Asher. “Calm down Hazel, do you think I’m not capable of taking care of him?” I heard the hurt i
~Hazel~ “Mama, why don’t I have a daddy like everyone else?” Everything seized and for a moment I forgot how to breathe. I know I’ve been waiting for him to ask but facing the question right now, it wasn't what I expected. What was I to tell him? I could feel Rose pity eyes on me as I refused to raise my head with my spoon still in my hand. “Baby we’ve talked about not talking while eating, let’s eat first and we’ll talk after.” I put on a small forced out smile. I had to be okay , I just had to. I knew this day would come, even though I thought he wasn’t going to ask anytime soon since he hasn't asked for a longtime now. What would I tell him? I couldn’t eat any faster as I didn’t know what to say to him. Should I tell him that his father is dead? Even if it’s nothing far from the truth, I don’t think I could really do that to my son. But the thoughts that he has a father out there but not with him could arouse more questions if I told him that. I watched
~Tristan~ “You don’t think I should ask for her reply now?” I know I should be more patient with Hazel but lately I’ve been feeling weird, like something would just crawl out of nowhere and snatch her away from me. I need no soothsayer to tell me who that was. I could see his eyes watching her every second. Even when he acted like she wasn’t there, I could tell he took note of every single thing she did. His eyes followed her everywhere and I planned to ignore it and just keep up with the acting but I can’t. Anytime he looked at her made my insides twitch and I became suddenly angry for no reason. I knew I wanted her the first time I saw her and I wanted to do everything I could to keep her safe. “If you don’t think you should waste any more time then you can ask for her reply.” Jason uttered with no expressions. I couldn’t blame him, since he came back all I’ve done was tell how Hazel promised to give me a reply and how I wanted Asher away from her. Jason was my r
~Hazel~ “So you mean I might not have to come here every morning from now on?” I needed to understand to completely believe what Tristan was saying. “Yes, we can move the rest of the things to his pack.” I ignored the slight reminder that chirped in. It was also once my pack, where I was born and grew up but now it sounded so strange and distant. “But what about the memory?” I muttered slowly as the thought dropped in. If they did the rest of the things there, I might not have anything that might revive my memory and Tristan might likely not get what he needs. “I told you not to worry about it, I’ll figure something out and keep you all safe, trust me.” His voice sounded calm and I wanted to truly believe it. This was exactly what I wanted, I didn’t want him lurking around these lands. I didn’t want to take chances with him finding out about Jaden. But if this is really moved to his pack then Tristan might definitely not get to learn anything special about what he
~Hazel~ “You don’t think you should tell me what you want to say directly.” He walked in with all confidence with his hands in his pockets. His wolf scent flooded the room making me feel a little stuffy. What’s going on? ‘Kyra, we shouldn't take note of his scent’ I warned through my thoughts as I kept my eyes away from his face. “Asher, you didn’t see my text?” Tristan's voice came out a little hitched as I took note of the atmosphere. I could feel their aura as they both silently and slowly fought for dominance with me in the middle. “You not gonna offer me a seat?” He muttered with smile as I could clearly see the smug look on his face and the unspoken words between them. “I don’t think you ever waited to be offered one before sitting.” Tristan cold reply came in a little masked as a joke as I could feel strong gazes flying round. what’s going on? Did something happen behind my back? They were never this way, even though you could always sense the te
~Asher ~ I held the phone firmly in my hands as I read the message out loud to myself. He wanted to have the rest of the things done in my territory. I ignored the message as I had other plans. “Did you find anything?” I just couldn’t wait anymore, I asked immediately Ross came into my view walking in like he had all the time in the world. “I’ve always had every single task done , don’t be in a hurry. Information delayed is information worth it.” He uttered slowly with all confidence as he moved past me to sit down. It wouldn't be surprising if he didn’t have any information at all. I knew Ross and he could possibly be hyping it up because he had nothing that might interest me. “Are you sure about that?” I let out a growl and turned to watch him closely with my gaze fixed on every movement he made. I wouldn’t be in any way surprised but he wouldn’t like my reaction if it’s anything less than what I need right now. I’ve been waiting down here for him
~Asher~ I drove in ready to turn the tables around. I came down knowing I really did have him in a corner. I was stopped and greeted by Jason, I didn't need to be surprised as his whereabouts were none of my business. He asked that I wait so he could go in to inform Tristan because he claimed he was busy. His stern face didn’t bat an eye and I thought for a minute I saw something like reluctance in his eyes. I would patiently wait as long as I have what I came here for, achieved. He came back in a few seconds, a little sooner than I expected and I walked in without waiting for a go ahead or any information. Her smell was becoming very distinct around here, the first time I came and I had to watch her seat on the chair only meant for the queen. After lots of thinking and watching I knew for a fact that she didn’t stay there or went there too often. It was no pleasant sight to watch unfold. I could hardly pick her scent there or in anything and If she stayed or was alw
~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
