Hazel’s POVWe all walked out and left Lorena and Ryder alone. We were all still perplexed by what Lorena had told us.“Lady in White? Who is this Lady?” asked Draco, quite confused.“I have no idea who she really is. But when we first began the quest, Chelsea told us that she was going to help us out if we ever needed it…”“But she knew that this was going to happen to Lorena. She knew. The question is: How did she know?”Jasper looked at me confused and I was about to say something but then Alpha Draco cut in.“It’s because she works for Ragnar.”“What?!” said the rest of us in surprise.Alpha Draco sighed and folded his arms.“Keep in mind that the dead can’t predict the future. She is working under the orders of a living being that can. Kaya’s kidnap was planned by him and he knew that this was going to happen. It either means that she is working for him or she stalks him and knows what he is going to do next.”I gulped. If this was true, that means that we have been spied on the
Ragnar’s POVI smiled and stood up and walked to my brother but he glared at me angrily and I stopped dead in my tracks.“What are you doing here Ragnar?”I chuckled.“Is this how you greet your bother after all these years? You seem to have lost your manners and sense of family, Draco.”He growled at me and took a step forward.“You shouldn’t be here? We made an agreement.”“Ahh yes. The agreement. I got a little bored in my pack so I thought to pay you a visit. Surely the agreement shouldn’t stop a simple brotherly visit.”I smirked and turned to go and have a seat.“Where is Kaya?!”A feminine voice stopped me and I turned around to see who it was. I smiled as I clashed eyes with the brave lady. My red pierced her deep blue pupils.“Ahhh. You must be the Hazel I have heard so much about.”I licked my lips hungrily and surveyed her.“Delicate and beautiful yet strong. I admire you very much. You have pulled through despite everything. It’s a miracle.”I offered her my hand for a han
Ragnar’s POVI guessed my message had sunk in as I relished the fear in their eyes.“With that out of the way,” I said lightly. “Have a nice day brother.”In a flash and a gust of wind, I was gone. I wished I could see the look on their faces as I disappeared right in front of them.It has been nice to see my brother again. The smile on my face widened. He would never tell me but I could feel it. He was scared of me. I felt it and smelled it all over him.He knew I was more powerful than him and he feared what I could do. And he was wise to do so.I was soon back in my pack and in my palace. It was all quiet at first and then a piercing scream filled the air followed by the sound of running footsteps.“My Lord!”I turned and saw that it was my Beta and he was kneeling at my feet.“What is it now, West?”“Forgive me my Lord, but we seem to have a problem with the prisoner.”“The girl?” I asked with an eyebrow raised.“Yes, Alpha Ragnar.”How much trouble could a five or six year old wo
Hazel’s POVI stood in place in shock. He had vanished. All that was left him was mist and smoke. We all turned to Alpha Draco but he looked just as confused as the rest of us.“What are we going to do?” Cassie asked. “Are we just going to give him the Amulet or do we actually have a plan for all of this?”Alpha Draco sat down on the sofa and buried his head in his hands.“This is all my fault. I should have put an end to him a long time ago and now you all are suffering from my mistake.”I felt my heart sink. It wasn’t his fault I knew it wasn’t and we weren’t going to get anywhere with all this self pity.“I think we should give him the Amulet,” I said sadly.“What?” said Logan angrily. “Are you crazy? There is no way that we are just going to give him the Amulet…”“We need Kaya back safely. We have to play by his rules…”“We can kidnap Kaya back. We don’t need to exchange anything for her”Alpha Draco stood up.“Kidnapping Kaya won’t work. He has a horde of shadows that keep an ey
Lorena’s POVI sat on the bed alone. Ryder had gone out to get something to eat.In the silence of the room I thought about my child. Zoe, was what we named her hoping that the Moon Goddess would give her life.I had spoken to the doctors and tried to convince them to let me see my child but they refused on medical grounds and that it wouldn’t be safe for my mental health.However, keeping me away from her I was doing me no good either. All I could do was lie down and think about her every single second. Sometimes, when Ryder and I are talking, my mind would veer off and think about Zoe.It was Ryder that actually choose the name and immediately he said it, I fell in love with it and that is what I wanted my child’s name to be.There was a soft knock on the door and someone pushed it open slowly. It was Ryder and in his hands, he had takeout.“I figured that you would be hungry so I brought you something to eat.”He kept the food beside me on the table but I simply smiled and turned a
Alpha Draco’s POVI woke up early in the morning to the sound of knocking on my door. I rubbed my eyes and turned to my clock. It was barely 5am in the morning.The house was quiet and I couldn’t hear a single creak of anyone walking on the floor boards. I stood up and headed downstairs and went to the front door. The knocking persisted and I took a minute and finally looked through the peep hole. It was Ryder. What was he doing here so early in he morning?I opened the door and let him inside.“I am so sorry for coming in so early. I had to stay with Lorena until this morning. This was the earliest that I could get the doctors to sign her papers.”I looked at his eyes and he looked weary. It looked like he hadn’t slept for all night.“You must be tired Ryder. You should rest. I can get…”“No. I want to get my daughter back as soon as possible. I came to ask what plan you have. We can get the warriors and have them infiltrate the territory. We can…”I sighed and turned away from him.
Hazel’s POVI was up early in the morning and I headed downstairs for a glass of water. I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks and was stunned by the mess that the living room was in. I saw Ryder and Alpha Draco asleep on the couches and the walls were badly dented and there were drops of blood all over the floor. Did they have a fight while we were all asleep?I tried to tip toe past them but Draco sprang awake and it frightened me that I nearly feel and hit my head on the floors.“I am so sorry for waking you up, Alpha. I hope that I …”He shook his head and sat up, and shortly after, Ryder woke up as well. When did he come in and why wasn’t Lorena with him?“How is Lorena?” I asked nervously.“She is alright. I asked her to stay with Zoe. I think that things would be better off that way.”“Zoe?” I asked quite confused.“We named our daughter Zoe. I chose the name.”I felt my heart melt in joy. Zoe was a beautiful name for their daughter. I loved it already.I turned to look at Alpha
Hazel’s POVI stormed to Cassie and Jasper’s room and without thinking, I bursted into their room and immediately regretted my action.Cassie was on top of Jasper and they were…Cassie screamed as soon as she saw me and rolled off Jasper and pulled the cover over the both of them.My cheeks turned a bright red and I immediately left the room, wishing I could unsee everything.I stood outside the door panicking and after a few minutes, the door opened and Jasper came in with his shorts on.I turned away and tried to avoid his eyes but he simply chuckled and it made me blush even more.“I am so sorry. I was with Logan and he made me angry and I was supposed to tell you and Cassie something but I was so mad that I forgot to knock and…”“Hazel, calm down, before you hurt yourself. It’s okay.”He smiled but it didn’t make me less ashamed of myself. I should have knocked. I shouldn’t have barged in the way I did.“Alpha Draco asked me to tell everyone to pack their things. He said we are go
