Ragnar’s POVThe arrival of Draco's army made me grit my teeth and anger. This was not what I had planned. How did Kaya get her powers back? Why was Lorena here? Did my spell not work? Did her unborn child not die?In the midst of all the grey, brown and black fur, I saw a blur of white running towards me.“Hazel!” I said gritting my teeth and anger. I couldn't stop the spell else I would have to start all over but that little brat was getting on my nerves.She pounced towards me and grabbed the Amulet out of midair, But before she could get away, I grabbed her tail and slammed her to the ground.“Did you really think that a weak Omega like you could stop me. You have big dreams. Very big dreams.” I stepped on her hind leg and the bones cracked under the force. She yelped him pain, dropping the Amulet on the ground and trying desperately to get away.“And where do you think you're going?” I grabbed her neck and was about to strangle her when I was grabbed by my shoulder an
Hazel’s POVI dragged Logan’s body away to safety as soon as the rift began to open. The battlefield had become quiet as we all looked at the split in the world of the living and the underworld.Draco and I stared at each other. Was this really the end? Had all our hard work come down to this? The shadows had settled on the ground around the rift and they bowed their heads low to the ground. I looked around the battlefield: Lorena was limping into distance, Jasper had been surrounded by wolves, Kaya had been flung into a tree and she had barely moved, Ryder was at her side and Cassie was laying down on the ground bloodied and bruised. We are all on the ground, defeated, and now, something greater than what we could imagine was emerging from the underworld. I felt so weak and hopeless. What was I going to do? How are we going to stop Ragnar?I turned to look at him and he was laughing manically. As the menacing dark figure rose from the ground. I felt my heart leap into my thr
Hazel’s POVWe turned and we started to run back to the battlefield field. My eyes were brimming with tears each time I remembered Jasper’s sacrifice. It was too much to bare. How was I going to tell Cassie that her mate what was dead?We both dashed through the forest and soon, we reached the battlefield and the sight that met us was awful. Half of our wolves had been slaughtered by Ragnar and the other monster. I fell silent as soon as I saw the carnage. There were dead bodies everywhere.In one corner, Kaya was fighting beside Lorena and Ryder was covering Cassie. Alpha Draco was going toe to toe with this brother, and as soon as I set my eyes on him, I felt myself gill with rage.Without thinking, I dashed over to Alpha Draco, who was laying weakly on the floor and was about to take a fatal blood from Ragnar.I was able to make it there just in time and I clawed at him with my paw and I did it again and again and again until he started to retreat and move back, away from Dra
Hazel’s POVI looked around and all was silent. I walked towards my friends and saw The exhaustion on their faces. Kaya was a badly injured but she was all right and Lorena had numerous scratches on her body and face while Ryder was limping badly on one leg. We looked around at the sea of bodies of the fallen warriors that littered the forest floor, the ones that were not engulfed by the rift that swallowed Ragnar and the King of the Underworld. So many lives wasted and all for what? The wolves that were left alive walked towards us and Ragnar’s wolves stayed away. They stared at us and I could tell that they were contemplating their next move. Their Alpha was dead and they had nowhere to go.Alpha Draco had defeated his brother and could now lay claim to the territory that he gave to him.Suddenly, the black wolf walked forward and bowed low to the ground to Alpha Draco. As he did so, his comrades followed and they all swore their alliance to the alpha.We all shifted into a
(I am not your mate)Hazel's POVThe music was loud and it blared and my ears were almost throbbing in pain. If I had something better to do, I wouldn't have even been at this stupid party. I had a tray in my hand with tall glasses of fruit punch, wine and champagne. It was Logan's birthday party. He was the biggest dickhead that ever walked the planet and the soon to be Alpha of my pack. I hated him with every fiber in my body."Waiter, two drinks over here!"I rolled my eyes and carried my tray to another table. They took the drinks and as I turned to get more servings, I bumped into my most hated figure. Even the devil was more preferable.I looked up and saw Logan glaring down at me. The empty glasses that were on my tray fell to the floor and I bent down to pick them up and didn't utter a word to him. He was a bully and he bullied me most of all. I was used to it though; I was an Omega and Omega's like me received no respect from Alpha's like him.When I picked up all the cups, I
Hazel's POVAlpha Draco pulled away from me and I gave him a nervous smile. He patted my hair lovingly and walked past me. I saw Logan leave as well, the look in his eyes was still venomous. I was more than afraid of what he would do to me if he saw me later.I rushed and headed as fast as I could to the library. If I could avoid him in school for the rest of the day, I would be a bit safer when I got home. I got to the library and the librarian didn't even reply to my greetings. She just waved her hand. I took a corner in the farthest spot and began to read. I still didn't want anyone else to see me because there were still a lot more people, other than Logan, that bullied and detested me for being an Omega, a crime I never thought one could be guilty of.The reading went quite uneventfully and I soon heard the bell ring for the next period. As I was leaving, Logan came into the library. I was so screwed. He saw me and growled. He looked and saw that the librarian was there. I could
Hazel POV I cleaned my eyes and went back to the pan I had left on the stove. Injured or not, I was going to make this meal extra special just for Alpha Draco. I turned the cooker back on and resumed cooking as if nothing had happened. Every now and then, the pain shot through my body and I cringed and groaned in pain but I kept on cooking. After about an hour or so, I was done with the cooking; the aroma filled the air and I was filled with pride. I had done it and I was determined to do everything to keep Alpha Draco happy despite his horrid son and sadly, my mate. He had been really kind to me and was like a father to me. This was the least that I could do. I served the food and carried it out to the dining table and covered it all up. I headed to Alpha Draco's room and knocked gently on the door. I heard a gentle 'come in' and I went inside. Alpha Draco was hard at work on his laptop and he raised his head and smiled when he saw me. "Ahhh, Hazel dear. How are you?" "I'm very w
Logan's POVI hadn't seen Hazel at school today and I was happy. That little weakling made my blood boil and whenever I saw my dad doting on her, it made me sick. I knew that she was his personal assistant and he had grown to take a liking to her. It just made me so angry seeing them together.I was in my last class for the day and I hated it; geography was my least favorite. I wasn't even paying attention and was counting down the minutes for the bell to ring so that I could get the hell out of there.Soon, all my waiting paid off and the school bell went for the end of the class and we all stood up and headed out. I still hadn't seen Hazel and Cassie walk up to me."Hey babe, how about we go to your place."Cassie was my girlfriend and was a hot number. Hazel couldn't be compared to her and best of all, she was an alpha, just like me."Sure babe."I pulled her in and kissed her full on the lips. She tasted like strawberries and I relished the taste.We walked together to my car and

Hazel’s POV“Well, that was not as entertaining as I expected,” said Ragnar unenthusiastically. “Well it is over and now it's time for me to take over this world.” I got up and glared at him.“You killed him. You killed Logan. You monster!”“Hazel, I believe you have eyes. I didn't kill your mate. Your friend did.” I watched him place the pieces of the Amulet on the ground and he began to assemble them. “It has been fun brother but now, it is time to end you and take what is rightfully mine.” My fists continued to shake as a stared at him with hate. Suddenly a loud howl erupted from my mouth and pierced the evening sky. I looked up at the moon and its red beam filled my eyes. “You killed Logan and now, you are going to pay!” Ragnar laughed but he didn't seem scared one little bit.“Look here darling, you are no match for me. Take one wrong step and I'll send you to join your beloved mate.” He dropped the pieces on the ground and began to assemble them. And at that i
Hazel’s POVI stared at him in fear and he grinned back wickedly.I grabbed my bag ans the box and took several steps backwards while Jasper jumped in front of me and tried to protect me. Ragnar began to laugh and it sent chills down my spine.“Do you really think that you can protect her?”We soon heard snarling sounds fill the air and when we looked up, shadows were camped in the trees glaring down at us and baring their fangs.“Look here Hazel, I will make this easy. Give me the amulets or she dies.”I soon heard struggling noises and out of the mist, a tall muscular man was dragging Kaya with him.“Kaya!”“Miss Hazel! Tell him to let go of me!”I looked from Kaya to Ragnar and back to Kaya. Ragnar smiled and lick his bottom lip.“So tell me Hazel, what is it going to be? Kaya or the Amulet?”Before I could give my answer, I heard the sound of feet running behind me. I turned back and saw three wolves sprinting towards us.“Ah. My brother finally decided to join the party. I was wo
Hazel’s POVAfter the meal, I had been in my tent, trying my best to reconnect with my wolf but all my efforts turned out the same: futile and unyielding.Every time I tried to concentrate, I could only hear a voice that told me that I needed to find the Amulet.I had tried to shake it out of my mind but it persisted and continued to pull me in deeper. It was so persistent and sincere. Maybe I was going about this all wrong. Maybe it was my wolf telling me to find the Amulet. It had probably been telling me this the whole time except that I chose not to listen.I stood up and made my decision. Alpha Draco was making the big mistake. We were supposed to be finding the Amulet. If you found it, we could harness its powers and bring an end to this war. We had to stop Ragnar at all costs and this probably was our only chance.I poked my head out of the tent and saw Alpha Draco and the others sitting around the campfire. The sun was beginning to go down and in the far off distance, I could
Lorena’s POVI ended the call with Hazel and I sat outside the incubation room. I was nervous about her. I felt that I had left her alone.I had been in Zoe’s room all day and the doctors even had to find a way to get me out earlier. I just wanted to be with her. I loved the way it seemed that she was able to understand everything that I said and she was just 2 months old.I felt torn all of a sudden. I needed to be with Hazel, my mate and my friends, but I also wanted to be with my daughter.As I sat, lost in thought, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I jerked in fright and turned around to see who it was.“Hello Miss Lorena, I am sorry to startle you.”My doctor smiled kindly at me and I smiled back.“It’s alright. I was just on a call and I had to leave the room. I want to go back to Zoe now.”“Maybe you should take a break Miss Lorena. You have been in that room for hours. You could take a stroll maybe, stretch your legs and get something to eat. I just finished my shift. Maybe we coul
Hazel’s POVI had been in my tent all day. Logan had tried to come in a few times but I simply gave him the cold shoulder and turned away.The forest was quiet as the day was moving forward. The bird’s chirping became louder and louder and when I listened hard enough, I could hear the rushing of a stream nearby.My stomach growled; I just remembered that I hadn’t eaten anything all day. I hoped Alpha Draco remembered to pack some food.“Hazel.”I turned away to face the back of the tent. It was Logan again; I wondered what he wanted.“Hazel, I am not here to try to get you to talk. I understand that you are angry with me; I just came to tell you that’s my father wants us all outside.”“I’m coming,” I said coldly.He lingered at the entrance of the tents for a while and then disappeared. I sighed and stood up, leaving the cozy warmth of the tent.As soon as I got outside, I saw Cassie Jasper, Ryder and Logan all standing in a line in front of Alpha Draco like it was a military exercise
