LoganI paced to and fro impatiently and restlessly in my room as I reminisced on what had happened today. I couldn't place my hands on why Hazel's sleepwalking habit had turned this bad, I remember vividly how I had saved her the first time, I initially thought she was doing it to get my attention but seeing that her life was in danger I had to save her.If it wasn't for the fact that I was outside the same time she was about to fall off from the balcony then she would have incurred a serious injury or worse; die. The thought of her dying scared me a little bit but I shrugged the feeling away. To me I wanted her out of my life, ever since the goddess had decided to make a mockery of me by mating me to an Omega but now I'm stuck with saving her.It also amazes me how and why she only sleepwalks herself into dangerous and life-threatening situations, I admit to the fact that I was scared out of my wits when she almost fell and I felt a tug at my heart when I saved her, I also felt some
Hazel's POVI was so happy that Jasper arrived at the time he did. He had just saved me from Logan."My ride's here; I've got to go," I said to Logan as I made my way to Jasper's car.I got in and greeted my best friend. He replied with a nod of the head as he glared at Logan. Both guys were glaring at each other. I placed a hand on Jasper's shoulder and he looked at me before driving away."What was that?" He asked."What was what?" I asked, feigning pretense"That tension between you and Logan. Is he still bothering you?" Jasper asked, gritting his teeth."It's nothing; I'm already used to it," I replied."What exactly was he telling you?" Jasper asked."Well, he wanted to drive me to school himself but I refused and that's when you came," I answered.Jasper scoffed before speaking again,"Logan offered to drive you to school? I find that hard to believe. Logan doesn't have any epitome of kindness in him as far as I know."I didn't say anything because I was also dumbfounded when he
Hazel's POVComing back from school all my thoughts were focused on getting through the already complicated day with little or no drama at all and then resting to gather what's left of my thoughts. All what happened at school flashed across my eyes for a moment and I painstakingly pushed them all away from my mind, it was beginning to give me a headache.I went straight to my residence; the servant quarters and unbolted the door after unlocking with the spare key I had with me, I couldn't wait to tell Lorena about all that bothered me since it has become some sort of tradition and routine for me. I sighed as I walked into the room and flung my bag to a far corner before dumping my weight on the bed.My eyes closed, I spread my arms and legs to cover the greater part of the bed and decided to get some sleep for half an hour or less before I start my chores but then something caught my attention, as I made to grab the sheets on the bed I realized there was nothing to grab, my eyes flew o
HAZEL’S POVThe rays of sun coming in through the open curtains caused me to immediately close my eyes back up after opening them waking up from a long night of well deserved sleep.I hissed and made a mental note to always up down the curtains during night time so I wouldn’t have to wake up to scene like this everyday. Blinking swiftly to get my eyes to adapt to the harsh light, I made a move to leave the bed not because I want to, but because I had to.After successfully dropping my feet on the cold floor, I pushed my upper body up, stretching to do away with the remnant of sleep still clinging onto my bones.When I first woke up, for a moment I had to waltz through my brain to remember where I was. I definitely know it will take time getting to settle in this new room.I proceeded to navigate my way through the room until I reached the adjoining bathroom. I turned the door handle and pushed, letting myself into the bathroom. Thou I have at first objected to having a change of room,
HAZEL’S POVAt first I thought I was the one pulling Jasper away from the scene but when I calmed down enough to raise my head and look up, I realised that in fact he was the one dragging me away not the other way round. I should have probably objected and get him to release me so I could leave before he inquired on the whole issue with Logan again but I didn’t. Instead I let him drag me away from there as far as he could. I let him drag me to safety.That he did cause moment later I found myself standing on the most deserted part of the school away from everyone’s prying eyes and I couldn’t be more grateful. The last thing I wished was for any more student to see me this vulnerable. I knew I was not going to hear the end of it probably for the whole of the week.But at the moment that was the last thing on my mind as my head was filled with thought of Logan and how i treated him earlier. Knowing Logan, my action will definitely come back to bite me on the tail. The feeling of a soft
Chapter 21Hazel’s Point Of View.My head racked, I felt my heart beat so hard. I sighed as I felt the softness of the bed, my eyes tightened as I tried to open it, opening it, Lorena no Logan came to my view and I immediately pulled Logan into a hug while Lorena stood from my bed and gave way for I and Logan. I cried and tugged on his clothes. My hand grabbed his clothes, holding it tight like I never wanted to let go.I cried, I could the coldness of my hand.“Haze!”’he voice was the calmest, it was a as soothing to me.“They are after me Logan.” I cried.“I am here for you Hazel, whatever it is, I am here.” I gently pulled away from the hug. My head was aching, my vision was blurry and I could barely hear what I was saying.“Don’t speak, just rest. I’ll get the doctor to come check on you okay.” I wanted to disagree, the doctor would think that I am crazy but I couldn’t say no. I also wanted to know what was wrong with me.Logan stayed in my room for a little longer while Lorena, wa
LOGAN’S POV“Not again” was the first thought that crossed my mind as I stare at her blinded rummaging through the forest. She looked so lost and hopeless and I wanted nothing but to reach out to her and hold her in my arms forever.But I didn’t do that, instead I waited to see what she was up to. She seemed to be really concentrated on something in front of her, giving it all her attention and mind. I failed to understand what on earth was wrong with her. This was the third time I had a caught her doing this not so normal activity and later she would claim she had no idea she did it. At first I thought it was some sort of tiredness and depression but I was soon made to realise there was more to it than meet the eyes. Someone couldn’t just possibly forget a part of his day like it never happened. That was something that actually needed to be looked intensively at.I made a move to just get a hold of her and move her out of the place once and for all but was made to stop in my track
Hazel’s POVIt seemed like throughout the time school was in section, it was like I had seen Jasper just once, the rest of the time, he wasn’t in class and it was obvious that he’d missed class because of me.Hiding something this important from Jasper was not my intention, Logan had forced me to do it. I knew he’d be out on the roof top, it was there he came to get his head calmed all the time.With everything suddenly happening in my life I didn’t know what or how to act, because one moment I’m normal and the next moment I’m seeing myself on my bed feeling faint and feeling like I would give up any moment.There he was leaning on the wall of the rooftop.“Jasper.” I called and watched him turn to me. He rolled his eyes and shook his head, grabbed his bag and tried to walk out but I stopped him.“Why are you avoiding me, Jasper?” As I asked he still tried to walk out of my presence.“Jasper.” I cried, I hated that he was not speaking to me. He was one of the few people that loved me f
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
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 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
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 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
