Hazel’s POVWhen we arrive at the seer's place I wonder how this man was going to help me. I wasn't sure if I could call it a house or a shed, but it was made of wood that creaked loudly when I ascended the front porch.I turn and Logan pokes his head outside, giving me a thumbs up. Should that count as a reassurance? The door opened immediately I raised my hand to knock. " Come in." A weird-looking man with shaggy hair whom I guessed was the seer said. I took a second glance at Logan's car before entering the house. It was surprisingly clean, however, ancient furniture adorned the room, tooth of animals were hung in strategic places which caused the hair on my nape to rise. " Please have your seat, Hazel." He motioned to a stool a few feet away, I walked towards it slowly. " You are safe here, Hazel." He said and I plopped on the chair, not wanting to come across as snobbish.How did he know my name? I wondered. Logan might have told him, I concluded. " I came to..."" I can't see
Hazel's POVI left the room quietly and headed upstairs. I was exhausted and I just wanted to take a nap. Logan had dropped me off and had gone out. I walked into my room and flopped on the bed. Lorena was busy with Kaya. This was the perfect time to take a...Knock! Knock! Knock!I groaned in anger as I heard the heavy knocking at my door. Who was it this time?"Come in."The handle turned slowly and another maid walked in timidly. She looked worn out and had bags under her eyes. I could only imagine when she last had a good night's rest."I am sorry to bother you Hazel but Alpha Logan left a message before he stepped out."I rolled my eyes angrily. Why couldn't he just tell me in the car before he left? I looked at the maid and she walked over to me and handed me a folded piece of paper. I took it from her and she immediately took her leave. I could only wish that she was going to get some rest. If anything, she needed it more than I did. She looked a mess.I opened the paper and saw
Lorena's POV"I am so happy for you, Lorena." Hazel said with a big smile on her face. "I know you will do a great job."I was beaming."How was your visit with the seer? Did he say what was wrong with you? Does he know how to fix it?"Hazel was silent and casted a quick glance at Kaya and I immediately knew that she didn't want to talk about it in front of her."Ohhhh. Sure. We can talk later," I said, withdrawing my question."Thanks Lorena. I guess I'll leave you two to work. Bye Kaya.""Bye Hazel," she said with a sweet wave.Soon we were alone again and Kaya was hard at work with her homework. She was a brilliant girl and was just as sweet and well behaved. I could only imagine why her previous nanny chose to neglect her. She was probably just a knock off that got off under the guise of a nanny to infiltrate people's home and steal things.I wanted to ask Kaya about her but she looked so sweet when she was working. It was best not to bother her."Miss Lorena?" she said sweetly. "
Lorena's POVI was holding Kaya and I didn't even notice that she had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I gently laid her on her bed and tucked her in. She needed to rest. She had been through a lot.As I smoothed her clothes and bed covers, she mumbled and stirred sweetly in her sleep. I couldn't help but smile. She was an angel. I still just couldn't understand why her father was so cold to her.I left her room and closed the door lightly behind me. I was due for a good nap; I was exhausted. I walked upstairs and headed to my room. As I opened the door, I gasped in surprise. Hazel was in bed and Logan was by her side, holding her hand. She looked a bit weak and pale but that was all.Logan looked at me and finally left. I made way for him as he walked out of the door. I closed it gently behind him and I was left alone with Hazel."Hazel, are you okay? What happened to you?"I rushed and took up the spot that Logan had left and took Hazel's hand in mine."Hazel, talk to me."I could feel
Chapter 41Lorena's POVI was up early the next day. I had to get Kaya ready for school. Before I slipped out of bed, I stole a glance at Hazel. She had slept peacefully throughout the night. I only hoped that she recovered soon. I was still mesmerized about her tale of the little ghost girl. So many questions, yet no answers to any of themI slipped into the bathroom and had a quick shower and got dressed just as quickly. I was in stealth mode; I didn't want to wake her up. I tip-toed downstairs and immediately began to do my chores, trying my best not to make a ruckus and wake the entire pack house.The sweeping went well and so did the dishes. I also made breakfast for Kaya as I was supposed to get her ready for school today.I looked at the clock and gasped at the time. It was almost 7:30am. Kaya had to be in school by 8am.I hurried to get room to wake her up but as soon as I flung the door open, I was stunned to see her standing infront of the mirror in her uniform. Her hair was
Hazel's POVAfter classes I headed to the library. I had so much school work to cover up as my drama with ghosts and voices had set me behind.I found a quiet place to sit and began to do my homework. The day had been tiring. I had been avoiding Jasper all day. I had become an eel overnight; any time he would try to walk up to me, I'd slip away.I was half way through my work when I felt a vibration in my pocket. I pulled out my phone and the screen lit up; it was a text from Logan."I'm in front of the school. Where are you?"I sighed and closed my book. I was a little nervous. Logan was taking me to see the seer and I still hadn't found out what Chelsea wanted me to do.I packed up my books and left the library but not before checking to see if the coast was clear. I didn't want to bump into Jasper again. It was hard enough that he liked me and I was mated to Logan. I just didn't want things to get complicated and weird between us.I tip-toed quickly down the hallway and soon the ex
Lorena's POVI stared at Hazel, waiting for her to get her composure. Finally, she did and she got a chair and sat next to me."What is going on Lorena? How? When?"I took a deep breath and faced her."I was cleaning and then I followed Kaya to school. While I was there, I got a text from. Marcus."I suddenly saw Hazel's face twist in disgust."Marcus? What does he want?""He...wanted to... well... talk."Hazel looked at me suspiciously and I immediately knew that that was my cue to keep talking."He texted that he wanted to see me and that it was important, so I told the driver to drop me infront of Willis' Coffee shop and I went to see him."Now Hazel was glaring angrily at me."Is this what I think this is?"I however, ignore her and continued to tell my little story."We talked and he said he wanted me back again but I told him I wasn't interested. He swore that he had changed but luckily, his lies didn't stay hidden for long and I walked out of there."The tension on Hazel's face
Lorena's POVKaya turned the handle and the door creaked open. In that moment, my heart stopped beating, only to be jerked back to work by little Kaya tugging on my hand to urge me inside.The study was huge. Books were neatly arranged in towering shelves. We walked slowly and in the far corner of the room, at a desk, sat a muscular man. His jacket was off and was hung on his seat as he was hard at work at the desk. His head never left the table or the documents he was looking over."What do you want?"Kaya couldn't contain her excitement. She left my hand and ran towards her father. For some reason, I feared for her safety. He had yelled at her on the phone so part of me didn't expect him to be so cozy towards her now. Though he was my mate, I still had resentment for what he did to her."Dad! I'm so happy that...""Stop."His voice rang out through the room and Kaya stopped dead in her tracks. My heart skipped a beat and part of me wanted to go after her and pull her back but my fee
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
