~Hazel~ With Marcus all over the place and towering over me with every change he got, I couldn’t be any faster but thank the goddess I was able to finish in time before Tristan came back in. “I’m so sorry to disturb you on such short notice” he pleaded as he stepped into the kitchen. “It’s fine. I couldn’t have denied you.” I uttered, forcing a smile before letting it freely have its way when I realised how the blood moon alpha would be elated after having deserts. With a huge smile on my face, I let it stay knowing fully well that it was worth it if my plans worked out well. “They look so colourful and yummy, if I could just pop one inside my mouth.” He added looking over the doughnuts arranged like a fountain on each palette. “Too bad you can’t eat them” Marcus mocked with a smirk. Ignoring him after a once over, Tristan faces me now “it’s late Hazel, and I already called Rose to watch over Jaden for the night.” He murmured, putting his hands behind his hea
~Hazel~ With everyone’s eyes glued on me, I pretend they aren’t staring and pick up my spoon and start eating. You look very pretty in that dress, Hazel. Now I know why he sent a dozen pictures to pick from.” He moved closer whispering to me with a smile and I pushed him away slightly. Marcus was sitting just after me then two more of Tristan’s enforcers before Asher’s men. “Don’t disturb her Marcus!” Tristan warned, raising his head a little to look me up as he did nothing to correct his brother. We all ate in dead silence as I could feel him glaring at me, I refused to look anywhere else pretending like he’s not there. I only stop to look up when Marcus has something whispered in my ear or Tristan asking me if I needed anything or how the food tasted. “The food wasn’t so bad” his voice resounded as he ordered our faces up to him. I could feel his aura filling up the room, it’s either he’s just being an alpha or he’s pissed. “Did your queen make it?” He asked
“Stop! You are hurting me” I cried out wincing in pain as his hands on my neck tightened. “What did you plan on doing to me? You think I wouldn’t smell it?” He asked in a fit of rage as he pressed his body against me, with his head just above mine as he stared into my eyes with fury. “What do you mean?” I asked, as his hands tightened around my neck making me scared as my face turned blue as I kept on dragging his hands until he finally released them a little. “You know exactly what I mean” he growled, still holding me in place as he used his other free hand to push at my waist, leaving his firm and huge hands there causing me to shiver a little. “Get off me!” I spitted sourly. Was he angry or what? Why are his hands all over me? “You think I wouldn’t smell it? Of course I know with you here that I’ll have to watch my back to be safe” he retorted with an all knowing snort. “I didn’t do anything so leave me alone!” I protested trying to free myself from his grip
~Hazel~ After he stormed out, I waited for a while trying to process everything. I couldn’t bring myself to tell Tristan anything, I just want to pretend like Asher never happened and I hope it remains like that. I definitely don’t want him showing up here. Maybe if I can talk to Tristan about whatever deal they have together and why he shouldn’t proceed, then maybe it’ll be cut off. Thinking of a story to come up with wouldn’t really be hard as wolves and lycans never interacted before. I didn’t even have an idea of their existence four years ago, so it shouldn’t be that hard right? Finally walking out of the bathroom and the dark tiny corridor which terrified the hell out of me. “So That monster threatened me! If he thinks I’m going to cower in my tears then he’s taught wrongly” I thought within myself as I walked back to the living room planning just how to get back to Asher. I shouldn’t be bothered, it’s not like I care about being queen anyways but I need to prot
~Asher~ Immediately we stepped foot on their turf and alighted from the car, I could smell her wolf. I know she was in his kingdom but I didn’t expect her to be allowed into their head house. Seeing her last at the bakery I suspected she stayed close by, looking from what she had on and how the whole shop was drained and danced around with her wolf scent. No one ever stops an alpha from doing what he wants but Tristan, understanding that fact, still pulled what he did trying to protect a wolf in his pack. A wolf he was in love with. I could see the longing in his eyes every time he spoke to her or when she’s close. He wants her but too bad she’s not up for giving. I’m still her alpha no matter what she says, she did the rejecting not me and I’ll consider it not valid. She’s the reason I’m back, the proposal looked too good to be true and I always followed my instincts. My instincts were telling me to turn back and not sign the deal but I need to see her. I know she’
~Asher~ It’s been over a week now since we signed the deal and we were supposed to meet on neutral grounds to discuss the proposal. One of the reasons I’m greatly feared and respected is how everyone In my pack is secured. I run a 24/7 sure security and outsiders aren’t allowed into the pack. I’ll be meeting Tristan a few stops outside my pack borders as he isn't allowed in yet. On getting there, I walked towards the small shed where we agreed to meet. “Asher '' he called out as he stood with his right hand man. It was supposed to be a closed meeting with just us but there was no way you could go anywhere without your second in command as we both know we don’t fully trust each other. “Tristan” I replied with a nod as I walked towards where they were standing with Ross. “Are you sure about this?” Ross whispered to me, maintaining his stance as he kept his eyes on both Tristan and Jason. I know just how much he distrusts them, I do too but I believe he has an idea why
~Hazel~ It's been a week and some days since I last saw Tristan, with his suggestions dangling in my head. This week has been my best week since all these issues started arising, and it started with Asher. I’m always meant to worry when I know he can just walk in anytime just to taunt me. But if I can agree to act as Tristan’s queen he wouldn’t be able to overstep as he should be bound to respect another’s supposed queen right? These were the times I wished to shift, to find solace with my wolf, Kyra. I stopped shifting frequently after I found a home with the lycans. I wanted nothing to remind me of Asher as I had lots of memories of my wolf running with him and cuddling a lot of times. Moving with a small bag I walk along the side away from the bakery and my house, heading towards the tall trees. I walk a long distance wanting to be away from prying eyes. This was the only time I had now as it was still school hours. I hated to turn in front of others and loath
~Hazel~“What’s going on Hazel?” I asked her while waiting for a reply as we gazed into each other's eyes and I could see hers was flooded with worry. “Mummy!! Aunty rose!” His tiny voice drew our attention, breaking away our gaze as she tried to hide her worries. “My baby!” I stretched out my arms as he ran into them for a big hug before walking toward Rose and hugged her legs as he didn’t want to be carried. “Aunty rose! We had a deal” he whined as Rose wanted to lift him up for a proper hug and I became curious about the deal. “Okay okay a deal is a deal” she answered letting out a smile with her hands in the air as we walked back to the shop together. “So what’s this deal about?” I asked, peering into their eyes as I felt a lot left out with the both of them avoiding my question. I watch Rose nudge Jaden's arm slightly and he moves a little. “Mama it’s nothing, we just agreed that no hugs outside the school gate.” He said looking at Rose like she forced him t
