Lorena’s POVI listened to Hazel’s heavy breathing over the phone. The silence was tense. I didn’t even know if she was still conscious.“Hazel? Are you still there?”Still nothing. I then heard Jasper’s voice in the background.“Hazel are you okay?”Finally I heard a voice. Hazel sounded fearful and the timbre of her voice was full of melancholy.“You…you need to… to go and see the seer. I can’t explain but something in me feels that you should go and see him.”I could hear her voice getting hoarse and croaky. She was holding back tears.“Hazel, I…”“Drive through the forest and take a right on a path. You should see his cottage there.”I tried to say something to her but the line went dead.I dropped the phone and turned around anxiously. Kaya looked at me puzzled.“Miss Lorena, are you okay? What’s the matter?”I swallowed hard and caught myself before I made my fear too evident to her.“Nothing sweetie. I have to just run a quick errand. How about you go to your room.”“Okay.”She
Lorena’s POVI looked at Ryder and he stared back at me.“We are not seriously going to enter his house,” he said angrily. “For all we know, he is probably a hoax. He might be blind for all we know. He keeps saying the ‘three of us’.”I looked at Ryder and there stared into the cottage. It looked cozy and inviting and besides, Hazel and Logan had been here and they were alright. I had to go in.I took a step forward but Ryder’s grabbed my arm violently.“Were you even listening to me?!”I scowled and pulled my hand away.“I chose to come so you should let me do what I want. I did ask you to give me the car to go alone but you refused.”I went inside and soon enough, I could hear Ryder’s heavy footsteps, defensively behind me.We looked around the circular room and my breath was taken away. It was a little shabby and in the walls hung intricate talismans and charms. He was the seer.I turned and saw him at a table with a three cups of what I thought was tea.“I’m glad you three finally
Lorena’s POVI was stunned. He had to be lying? There was no way this was true.“I know your mind doubts what I say, Lady Lorena, But I simply speak the truth. You are pregnant with the Beta’s child.”I felt my hand go to my stomach and I rubbed it slowly. There was no way a child was inside there. I felt fine. I closed my eyes and slowly, a tear began to run down my cheek. Who was I kidding? It was expected. Every time that I had sex with Ryder, we never used protection.“I can tell that you are shocked by the news. I suggest that you go home and get your head wrapped around it. But keep in mind, your child might not be a regular wolf once it is born. The effects of the Omen Moon are strong, especially on destines that are yet to be shaped.”I turned to look a Ryder and he had a blank expression on his face. I knew that he couldn’t believe it either. He took my hand and raised me up from the chair. We walked out of the little cottage without even a goodbye to the seer. My thoughts we
Ryder’s POVI watched as Hazel approached Lorena and I.“Lorena? Ryder? What are you both doing here?”Lorena hesitated a little. I could tell she was thinking about what to say.Suddenly, the doctor’s office opened and a patient came out with a large smile on her face. He turned to Lorena and Hazel.“Which one of you is Miss Lorena?”“I am, doctor.”She stood up from her seat and went in without a word to Hazel or Jasper.The door closed and Hazel turned to me angrily.“What did you do to her?!”She stormed angrily towards me but Jasper held her back.I stared at her icily and said nothing.Hazel continued to fight in Jasper’s grasp.“How dare you?! You hurt her, didn’t you?! You animal!”I scoffed. I was honestly waiting for Jasper to let her go and I’d put her in her place. I honestly didn’t care if she was the Alpha’s mate or not.“I don’t need to answer to you.”I turned away from her and remained seated on my chair.Suddenly, she fought and freed herself from Jasper and ran towa
Hazel’s POVI ran outside and met Jasper leaning on a wall, on the phone, trying his best to explain things to an obviously hysterical Cassie.“Cassie, I’m okay. No, no, I’m not hurt. Logan is in the ward. I can’t explain everything to you now. I promise to explain once I get home. I love you.”He ended the call and I walked up to him, wiping the tears off my face but I was a little too late. He had seen them already.“Hazel?”I sniffed. Trying not to break into a fresh round of tears.“Logan is mad at me. He doesn’t want to talk to me. He doesn’t want to touch me. This is all my fault.”I wanted to cry again but Jasper put his hand on my shoulder and pulled me into a hug.“Listen. None of this is your fault. I told you before. We are dabbling in things that we don’t understand or have control of. Stop being so hard on yourself.”I sobbed lightly into his chest for a while but soon pulled away.“How is Cassie taking it?”Jasper sighed.“She is worried like crazy but I’ll explain thing
Hazel’s POVJasper and Lorena huddled closer to me. I was still breathing rapidly. My eyes were wide open; I still had no idea about what on earth I had just seen. It felt so real but it was just a dream, a vision.“The Amulet is hidden somewhere in school.”“School? Did you see where?” asked Lorena, curiously.I shook my head.“No. Before I could see anymore, you guys pulled me out of my trance.”I could see the frustration in Jasper’s face as he exhaled. I could tell he was blaming himself.“Jasper it’s fine. At least we know where to look.”He relaxed a little and nodded nervously.“Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry.”I smiled at him and turned my head to the bench. I was truly alone and Chelsea wasn’t with me. It still felt like a dream.“So what are we going to do? We know where it is hidden. Aren’t we going to find it?”“We are but we can’t do that until Logan is out of hospital. He is weak and I feel we need him.”Lorena stared at me with wide eyes.“Are you being serious? This is
Jasper’s POVFor the rest of the day, we all sat watching Logan sleep. I knew that Hazel didn’t want to show it but she was tense. I could see her twist her fingers nervously. Her eyes darted around the room, focusing on nothing in particular yet everything.I knew I was an inconvenience to her relationship with Logan. Initially I was in the way because I loved her and I wanted her but now, I had no choice. I was her protector. I couldn’t leave her side.Finally, Logan began to stir. He didn’t need to be stressed out so I made to leave the room. I stood outside the door and looked into the room from the little window.Hazel rushed to Logan’s side but he rebuffed her like she was some kind of plague. I watched as Hazel’s lip began to quiver. I couldn’t make out what she was saying to him but I could tell that he didn’t care at all.I sighed. This was more than she could bear. I looked at my watch. It was 3pm and none of us had had anything to eat all day. Food would get our minds off
Hazel’s POVI tried to head into Logan’s room but his door was bolted shut.“Logan please just open up! We can talk about this. Please.”I waited at the door but there was no reply. I knocked again but I was still met with silence. I felt dejected. He was still so upset. I exhaled and wiped my eyes on my shirt. I couldn’t stand here all day. I had to take Jasper’s advice. Logan just needed some time to himself.I headed to my room and found Lorena on the bed with Kaya. They were looking at some pictures that Kaya had drawn and Kaya had a big smile on her face.I couldn’t help but break into a smile as well. They finally looked up at me and Kaya beamed at me with a big grin on her face.“Miss Hazel!”She left Lorena and ran towards me. I hugged her back and she quickly ran to get her coloring book.“I drew you and Miss Lorena.”I looked at the picture and felt my heart melt into a mush. It looked beautiful. Crudely draw like a five-year old but it was beautiful and thoughtful.“This is
