HAZEL"Lady Hazel, stop running, we can't meet your pace!" I heard Lesly and Christinah call after me, but I refused to do so.My strength is returning bit by bit, it's like my body is finally healing due to the concoction the Healer sent to me.I have also stopped destroying my body since I now have my plan going smoothly. I felt like meeting the rogue one more time, "He called me his mate, and still I wasn't having any bond with him, but I was still curious to know more about him.“You guys should stay back since you can't meet my pace I will get back to you soon,” I shouted back hoping they would hear me.I ran deeply into the wood for some more minutes and couldn't hear the rattling sound behind me anymore signifying they had stopped when I asked them to.Finally, getting to the same place where I had shared the last conversation with him I stopped.I could recognize this place because I made sure to mark every direction I passed when going back to pack.I usually do that so I do
HAZEL POV“You don't own me, Salvatore,” I spelled out but he only smiled.I pushed him away and walked out of the bathroom, my hands covering my boobs.I tried to get some garments to put on but he already appeared inside, stopping me from moving.“My feisty little Queen,” he called out but I glared at him.“I am not your queen,” I told him.“You want to be my queen isn't that the reason why you are learning?” I wanted to say hurtful words but when I recall I have no other reason to lie I shut my mouth.If I remind him of the first thing I told him about staying here, he might begin to question me about the reasons I detested him so much.“Sometimes you make me want to use my powers on you,” he admitted and my eyes flared open hearing this.“What?”“I want to read your mind, I want to know everything you are thinking…” his door burst open and a low growl escaped his lip as he moved so close to me making sure his huge body covered mine.“Who the heck gave you the audacity to bounce in
MADDOXAfter the little session with Hazel, I decided to act cold so she wouldn't get me.When she left I sat on my bed a bit dejected. (We need to get closer to her,) My wolf had told me, noticing the little changes I had when I was closer to her the other day.My wound doesn't affect me much like it did formerly, but me making her my Luna sounds absurd. She was just a slave to Daren. How could I make her my Luna?Only a powerful lady can become the Lycan Queen.(She is our mate,) Salvatore growled, these days I don’t gain control of myself. Salvatore takes over.“Now that you had some time with her, you feel she won’t drift apart from us?” I asked, earning a growl from him."Salvatore, we just need to earn her forgiveness like the old witch had said not.."(She is mine Maddox, I can't let you have someone else as your Luna, they are going to battle and I will make her win) I could feel the anger brewing inside of him, he has always been this since her arrival, always supporting any
HAZEL“Aunt, you came way faster than I thought,” he said, now standing in front of me like he was trying to protect me from her.I look toward the three creatures standing before us, authority oozing from them.Two men and Aunt Marrissa seem to be the most powerful ones. My gaze met with that of the lady, whose gaze held that of anger, I could tell at a glance that she wouldn’t like me.“You want me to tell you of my coming?” she asked her gaze not leaving that of mine since I had pushed out my head to get a good look at them.“Zeus had said you would arrive tomorrow,” he said again.“Why is a wolf-less creature in the Frost Fang Pack?”I looked down at her hand to see how her claws were now out, her body emitting smoke, and I couldn’t tell what that smoke signified because it wasn't that of hotness.“Aunt I can explain, don’t touch her..”“Alpha,” Zues called like he was trying to warn him of some danger.“You are welcome, Elder.” Zeus' words were left hanging when Aunt Marrissa st
IVYThings have been well for me these days. If I was told I would live well a few weeks back I would probably say mean words to the person.Sir Maverick had allowed me to find herbs and learn more about healing.They have no healer here so he apologized for not helping with one to make my learning faster.I have always been obsessed with leaves. I recalled how I would go looking for leaves everywhere for some kind of assignment given to me by our healer before the end of my destruction of our pack.“Lady Ivy, what about this?” Riley said holding one. I smiled and collected it from her, “This is a Dandelion plant, it helps with the Kidney and the liver, are you having a problem with that?” I asked, she stared at me and shook their heads.“I think we have enough now,” I said adding the dandelion plant that was with her into the basket.I woke this early and came here with her so we could get some herbs that could be of help to Sir Maverick's health.Some of his men came with me protec
MADDOXHere I am thinking she is in her room, sleeping only to be met with shock.She is right here standing before me, she must have heard what I had told the Elders. Noticing how Aunt Marissa glared at her continuously wasn't sitting right with me.So I quickly stepped in, I didn't understand what made her suddenly back off and asked her that question. But one thing was sure. I need to protect Hazel at all costs against Aunt Marrisa."Maddox you should get the fuck off, do you know how much power that medallion holds," I looked back to Hazel to see how she wrapped her hands around the necklace and shifted back."It's something valuable to her," I muttered, Aunt Marrissa's eyes softened for a bit."I asked a question, lady… are you in any way related to the Silver creed Alpha?" The mention of Silver Creed made me freeze.(Silver Creed, shouldn't be mentioned anywhere close to us,) I looked toward Aunt Marissa. She knows how my wolf loses it when it comes to recalling that pack."I…
HAZELI kept pacing around my room for a while thinking of why Maddox had that look when they mentioned the name of my pack.Why do they think the Silver Creed pack deserves the destruction? They destroyed my pack and they killed my parents. They made me become a slave for years.And they all think they deserve it, “Lady Hazel, You should be sleeping now, why do you look so stressed?Still pacing around my room, I couldn't form a coherent sentence to Lesly but was just so worried.“Tell me more about the Elders?” I asked and I noticed how she halted her track.“You didn’t annoy them did you?” Lesly asked me, I darted at her with Maddox's words ringing in my head.I finally let go of my medallion, “Tell me what power do they have? And why do they seem to have so much control over Maddox?” seeing the look on her face I noticed he was here.Then it rings in my brain. I should mind the way I would call for his name if I want to have a conversation about him and don’t want him to know ab
HAZELI don't know how many minutes I have spent standing here with chills all over my body.The way Anderson had called my last name never left my head, I watched him groan as he fell to the ground.Like nothing happened he looked up at me, also giving me a weird look.“What the heck happened?” he looked around like he wasn't in control of himself a few seconds ago.“You just..” I stopped myself from talking more about him calling my last name. I needed to still keep my identity if I wanted my plan to go as I wanted it.“You just said mean words to me,” I lied, he gazed at me weirdly, “Meaning?” “Why would I do that?” he asked, still in a state of confusion.“Aren't we sparring today?” I asked, he was still just looking around, having the subconscious about him not controlling himself just a few minutes ago.We train for a few more hours, till my bone almost breaks.I went into the pack house when I was done, only to be met with Maddox on my way inside the pack.“What do you want no
IVYAs my so-called sister walked out of the room with that of her so-called lover.I sighed in relief but didn't accept the fact that he had noticed something was wrong when I mentioned danger.I glanced at both ladies who were asked to help me instead, I didn't want to show the reasons to suspect me.Thank goodness easily captured my sister's feelings without him trying to get anyone's suspicions.“Lady….” one of the ladies stopped mid-sentence like they were trying to get my name.“Ivy, my name is Ivy..” I helped out, I decided to sit well and they both flew down to me trying to help me sit.“Water..” I muttered and one of them got me water, “Thanks,” I appreciated from the bottom of my heart.Nothing was wrong with me. Sire Maverick had made me this way so I would be able to win my sister's sympathy.I could swear I almost loved her kindness when she saw me, the way she got scared of losing me.“Wow, we both can't express how happy we are to see you here,” I was curious about what
ZEUS POVI shifted away from the door when Maddox dropped the bombshell, telling Hazel she was his mate. My heart shattered into a million pieces. I had always hoped, always believed, that Hazel would be mine.Always seeing the way she yelled at him because she hated him made me feel oddly satisfied.I had thought he brought her here because he wanted her for something else, but that was all in my imagination.As Maddox's beta, I had stood by his side, loyal and true. But my feelings for Hazel went far beyond loyalty. No, it seemed that dream was lost forever.I couldn't bear it, the one to see Maddox and Hazel together. I needed to get out, to clear my head.I decided to go to the only hope I had now. Knowing Alpha wouldn't be needing my attention for now I left the pack.It was a bit of a far journey but I could make it easily, the moment I stepped into their territory I felt the presence of men.“Don't cross your limit, you can tell I am the beta of the Frostfang pack, you don't w
HAZELAs I stood before the pack, my eyes locked onto a figure that made my heart skip a beat. “Ivy,” I whispered again.I felt like I had been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me.Emotions swirled inside me like shock, joy, fear, and disbelief. I took a step forward, my legs trembling beneath me. Ivy's eyes met mine, and I saw a glimmer of recognition before her gaze dropped.I felt a lump form in my throat as I took another step closer. Ivy's face was gaunt, her eyes sunken, but she was still my sister.I reached out a trembling hand, and Ivy's eyes fluttered closed. She swayed, and I rushed to catch her, feeling a surge of panic. I cradled her limp form, tears streaming down my face."Maddox, help!" I cried out.As I held Ivy, I felt a deep connection, a bond that went beyond words. I rocked her gently, whispering her name.She was still breathing fine and then her eyes fluttered.She was too weak, “Finally I found you,” she whispered and then shut her eyes again, I sh
HAZELThe door opened and I strutted inside with Lesley and Christianah, by my side.I could see Maddox staring down at us, and Marissa also stood with the eldersEveryone rose in respect, as I strutted inside the room. With my head high.Today was my coronation day, and I was about to become the Luna of the pack. I had worked hard to get to this point, and I was determined to prove myself worthy of the title.All I see today are the disapproving faces of the three powerful elders, including Marissa along with some members.I knew they didn't want me for this role, but I was determined to prove them wrong.The ritual began, and I was led to the center of the hall. One of the elders stepped forward, holding a small, delicate bowl. "Hazel, you have been chosen to be our Luna, but first, you must prove yourself more worthy."I knew they would play another kind of game but I wouldn't give up easily to them.I had what it took to be a great Luna. They might not know it as an Alpha daugh
HAZELA WEEK LATERAs I stand before the mirror, I gaze at my reflection, adorned in a breathtakingly beautiful gown, tailored specifically for my coronation as the Luna of the pack. The dress is a mesmerizing shade of midnight blue, reminiscent of a clear night sky.The gown hugs my curves perfectly, showcasing my toned physique, obtained from rigorous training.A silver embroidery adorns the bodice. My heels are crafted from polished silver. The stilettos are adorned with tiny, glittering diamonds, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication to my overall ensemble.My hair cascades down my back like a waterfall of night. I've chosen to wear it down, with loose waves framing my face, accentuating my sharp features and piercing green eyes. As I behold my reflection, I feel an overwhelming sense of pride and power. I am Hazel, the soon-to-be Luna, and I am ready to claim my rightful place among the pack.I was going to become Luna today, and the thought sent shivers of excitement d
MADDOXI watched in awe as Hazel raised her hand and screamed, "I won!" She didn't kill Brianna despite the rules Aunt Marissa implemented.But the next thing I knew, was her falling to the ground. I was terrified as I rushed towards her, not caring about what anyone else said. Rage fills me when I see Zeus, beside her before I can get to her.“Get your fuvking hands off my Luna,” I snapped at him, pulling him back and choking him by the collar of his shirt. "She's my woman now. I'd love it if you stepped back from her." I glared at him, my eyes severe with warning. I don't want to have this childish conversation. I've been hiding my feelings, but seeing the way the two are always together... it's like you're taunting me. All I want is for her to look at me the way she looks at him, but no, I have to beg for her care, her love, despite being her mate.Zeus isn't at fault since she still can't recognize me as her mate, but I knew I had to make him understand. "I'm sorry, Alpha. I
HAZELIt's finally the day, the day that will determine my victory or loss, the day I'll prove to myself if I can win or lose.All eyes will be on me today, most hoping for my failure. But I aim to prove many wrongs today.My body aches from intense training. "Lady Hazel, you'll make us proud, won't you?" Lesley's words brought a faint smile to my face."Maybe, maybe not," I pondered as they stood before me."You are free to play dirty, but all we want is for you to defeat that beast," Lelsey exclaimed, earning a playful jab from Christiana.“Aww, that's hurt..” Lesley groans with a pouty lip. She felt bad but still wanted to stand her ground that what she had said was wrong so she pretended not to see her.I took in a deep breath and rose from my chair, but my butt bumped against the chair back.They both wore concerned expressions as they took hold of my hand. "What's the matter, Luna?" they asked, looking worried.I attempted to stand up straight, but the same thing repeated itself
HAZEL I pushed Maddox exhausted body out of mine, I don't know the feeling I was having now but one thing was for sure I was not happy.“Get back to your senses,” I told him, and as I tried getting up he pulled me back roughly, “That's the only way I can heal,” he muttered, I rolled my eyes and slapped his hands off.“Are you going to wash your wounds off or you are still trying to be crazy around me?” he groaned and sat on the bed.I helped him pull off his blood apparel, it was hard because he moaned at every second it touched his skin. Then I helped him to the bathroom.Pulling off his armless shirt I was more than shocked to see the place I had stabbed him still looking fresh like just happened last night.While the wound on his chest slowly disappeared, I tried touching it but he grabbed my hands shaking his head.“Why is it still looking fresh…” I stopped mid-way with the way he had gazed at me.“Seriously? You are going to ask me that question,” I rolled my eyes at him.“Are y
HAZELI dashed toward Maddox looking worried, “Open… your eyes please,” I whispered as I pulled him into a tight embrace.He was bleeding badly from his chest, his black apparel already soaked with blood.“Hey, why isn't he healing?” I asked in shock.I turned back only to be met with the lady and not Ivy, “Wh… You tricked me?”“You are forgetting your sister and your plan, I needed to refresh it,” she let out curtly.“My plan?” I asked, aghast, “You have nothing to do with my plan, he is mine, mine to kill, why butt into it!” furry was washing over me.“Who are you exactly and how much did you know about me?” I pressed on, already getting wary of her.“Like the poison which is killing you slowly despite being closer to him,” only then did the pain reside.“Or should I talk about your sister who you suddenly abandoned and only think about living a good life?” she added.“Ivy?” I called, letting go of Maddox, “She…?She is alive?” she smirked and then turned her back against me.I ran t
