Hazel’s POVIt was the next morning and as always, it wasn’t easy getting ready for school, I had chores and I hadn’t attended to any of it and I was sure I wouldn’t be let off easily.“Your getting late to school, Hazel. Have you ever had your bath?” Lorena asked as I watched the dishes in the kitchen while she cleaned up and arranged.“I haven’t Lorena, when I’m done with my chores I will.” I replied and continued washing the dishes.“I’ll do that for you Hazel, you cannot be late to school today, remember you're taking the bus.” She stopped what she was doing and turned to me.“It’s okay Lorri.” I smiled.“You don’t feel so good Lorri , I cannot have you work.” I reminded her and she smiled.“I am fine, I will do your chores for you.” She pulled the washing gloves out of my hand as we spoke.“You sure about this Lorena?”“Yes Hazel.” I smiled and pulled her into a tiny hug.“Thank you.” I was about to run out of the kitchen so I could get ready for school but I stopped in my tracks
Hazel’s POVI had begged Jasper to drop me off a few walks before the school but as usual, Jasper is a very stubborn werewolf and will not take no for an answer.Seeing me climb down from the car of the school’s most feared was a big news. I mean everyone knows that Jasper is close to me but seeing me in his car was something else, I wondered why he came to pick me today.I didn’t mind the stares and the side talks, I walked into the school building and heade to class.Classes started one after the other and they were all fun. Learning was always the best part of school, you could scream it out that I was a nerd.We were given a few assignments and I was excited to do them. It was chemistry class in five minutes time and I needed to get ready for the class, I walked out the class with my books in my hand as I headed to the locker room so I could grab my notes and get ready for the next class.As I walked through the hall, walking by a classroom door, I was pulled in by someone.I yell
Hazel’s Point Of View.This is how school has been, classes, bullying, lunch. I hated my life but I would live my life for it to get better. It was getting worse by the day and all I could do was watch things go bad as I was unable to control my own life but I would get better, I would work for my life to get better.I picked myself up from the ground, arranged my uniform and wiped my eyes before leaving the room.I walked to my locker and picked up my chemistry note and learning materials then headed to the chemistry Lab.It was unlike me to attend a class late and as I made to walk into the ongoing class with the teacher in front of the class, I stopped on my track when Mr Leo called my name.“Hazel?” Before he could say another word of complaint I was apologizing for coming late to his class.“I’m sorry sir, I had something urgent to do, it will never repeat itself.”He sighed softly and shook his head negatively. “Because it is the first time you are coming late to my class
Logan's POV Standing under the trees, in the lonely garden, surrounded by a fenced barbed wire with my head bowed and fists clenched in anger, I reflected on the incident that happened some days ago.Unable to control my anger, I paced about. I felt like smashing something. Preferably Jasper's face. "How could she be so stubborn?" I muttered loudly. It was annoying that Hazel was able to get under my skin like an irritant, ever since she set her feet into my house. What would it cost her to be obedient?Now, I went ahead to hurt her. What the hell possessed me to choke her? Her troubled eyes before I let her go, haunted my subconscious mind, playing like a broken record.As if that was not enough, my wolf berated me for almost sending his mate six feet under. What would it take her to stay away from Jasper? That boy was bad news. She had no idea of how many girls he had been with, and how many of them had gotten their hearts shattered by him. The thought of him got me pissed. Did s
Hazel’s POV" You like someone? Do I know her?" I inquired. " One question at a time. Yes. You don't know her." He replied shyly." Have you told her?" I asked." No." I raised a brow, " Don't you think she deserves to know?" I quizzed. " You think I should tell her?" He replied.I rolled my eyes, Duh? " Of course! How would she know that you like her if you don't tell her?" He ran a hand through his shaggy hair and shrugged nonchalantly. " I'm not sure she likes me." My brows creased, " Have you considered that she might like you back?" He looked deep in thought, " A fair point."I stared at him, " Seriously, what's the worst that could happen? At most, she says that she doesn't feel the same way. But you will get to make peace with her decision early, and save yourself from unnecessary heartache." I advised.He nodded, and I waved my hand playfully, " Don't thank me, I know I am an awesome love doctor." I waved my hand around lightly.He snorted, " Don't start." He mumbled as w
Hazel’s POVMy eyes misted up in tears and I scolded myself for giving in to him like a wanton lover. A little self-control would have spared me this humiliation. The most frustrating thing was that if I was given a choice I would still choose to kiss him again. A bittersweet experience. With my chin held high, I stared at him, "You can spare yourself the headache and just reject me. What do you think?" Logan chuckled evilly, " I cannot reject you." My heart fluttered with hope at the thought of him beginning to feel something for us blossom. " Surely it can't be that hard. If you claim that you do not like me. You would be more inclined to sever any ties with me." I replied. He chuckled derisively, " Do you think I would hesitate if I had a choice?" He asked. Then stared at me with mockery in his gaze." You don't think I am beginning to fall for you because of a stupid kiss?" He asked.My face fell at the statement. I know that my first kiss didn't happen conventionally, but I
Hazel's POV "Stand here, so that you don't get water all over." She instructed and went inside her office. She returned a minute later and handed me a towel.” A perfect exchange for my wet running shoes."Thank you, ma," I replied, she was a kind woman. One of the few people who didn't treat me like dirt under their shoes.She gave me another smile " You can sit close to the window." She suggested."I don't have a change of clothes," She said sadly." It's fine." Anything as long as I was safe from the torrent of the rain. Shivers racked through my body but I held it in, not wanting her to get worried because of me. I walked to a suitable spot, two seats opposite the window. " I'll be over here, ma." I pulled out a stool which creaked loudly as it scraped the floor. I winced we had been taught not to go against the major rule." I'm sorry," I whispered. " It's fine." She waved me off and went to busy herself with other matters. She was probably preparing to close for the day when
Hazel’s POV"Hazel." A slithery voice called out to me. " Come..." The voice repeated, speaking to my inner spirit, leaving me with no resistance than to walk forward. Where am I going? I wanted to scream, but my mouth was taped shut. I was unable to stop walking. My legs had a mind of their own. The more I struggled to stop, the faster I was pulled deeper into the woods. I felt a sense of familiarity in these woods like I had been here before. It was lightless and I could only make out the looming tress that blocked any form of illumination. " I'm waiting for you, Hazel." The voice repeated louder this time." Somebody help me, I'm being carried away!" I screamed internally."Follow me, Hazel. I am your friend." The voice spoke, and chills broke out on my skin.Suddenly a burst of light pierced through the thick woods, it almost blinded my eyes. My movement stopped." Come with me." A female voice spoke in the light." You are better off with me. They don't care about you." The fi
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
