~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
~Asher~ Her words still rang out loudly in my head making my thoughts a complete chaos, the only thing keeping me going was the fact that I reassured myself that I was still in control. “She’s messing with me!” There’s no way I’m believing that. I still kept all her words fresh in my memory about how she wanted to spend all her lives with me if she had more than one. I can’t do this right now, the picture of him hugging her sent spikes and made holes in my heart causing severe damage. I drove with no single care if I would run into another car. The hell Tristan could be on this tracks right now and I’ll run straight into him, making sure I grind him to powder. My thoughts were clouded as I droveroughly into the pack house, ignoring the looks of my men when they saw me speed by. I didn’t bother if I was parked well or not, I stormed out, avoided their curious eyes and stormed in. The only thing I’m allowed to think of right now is how fast I could throw
~Hazel~ I watch him go after Asher as my words settle in. What did I do? I didn’t have a choice and I hate to see the smug look on his face like he had control of everything concerning me. Truth be told I hadn’t figured out what truly I wanted to say to Tristan before now. I know I had to give him an answer and I didn’t know it would be today. After I had planned to take all the time in the world before giving him any response then all of a sudden all it took was to stare at his face as I blurted out those words to spite him. I wanted to prove to him that I could be anyone’s queen. I blurted out those words because that was my one chance at driving home a point. Sooner or later I was meant to give Tristan an answer. I contemplated talking it out with Rose, letting her know what I promised Tristan but I could already hear her answer out loud in my head so there wasn’t any need to ask her. I know Rose wanted the best for me, I could hear her worries and concerns in
~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
