HAZELWaking up the next day my body hurt like hell, it has been that way since last night.“I miss Helena so much, I would be healed by now if my wolf hadn't been dead.Sensing a familiar scent, I fluttered my eyes open and I saw the blurry back of Maddox.I closed my eyes and wiped to see clearly but this time he was gone.“Lady Hazel, you are awake,” Christina announced with a smile. I could only nod my head at her confused as to why she was delighted to see me awake."Guess what?” I stared blankly at her wondering why the first thing I needed to do when I just woke up, with my whole body hurting, was to guess something I had no idea of." I am not good at guessing,” I stated, in a flat tone, the way my body hurt made me rage so badly."The Alpha just left, he is more caring than he was before, he stayed with you all night.” I scrambled off the bed, now understanding that I wasn't hallucinating."What?”"You kept grumbling about your body hurting in your sleep and called for his n
IVYI dashed out of my room stunned by the news that just got to me.“Lady Ivy, you can't go there," Riley quickly stopped me and began pulling me back.“Why?" My eyes widened as I struggled with her to let go of me, “You can't my lady," she shook her head.“Please my life would be in danger if Sir Maverick found out I told you." I stopped pulling her and went back into my roomShe sighed with a breath of relief when I walked inside the room, and shut the door.She watched as I paced around the room, “Lady Ivy I think you should be happy about this, she deserved it,” Riley announced.I shook my head at this, " No, I don't want to make her my enemy, there isn't even anything going on between Sir Maverick and I?”Rile snickered and that caught my attention, I glanced at her and it disappeared."Lady Ivy, you are the only one he acts nice with, and you expect me not to think something is going on between you guys?" " I promise there is not..” she stopped me and patted the chair so I cou
HAZELI pushed him away still in shock with what had just happened.My hands moved to my neck the same place he had bitten a few seconds ago.I looked down at my palm and saw the blood smear, I glanced at him to see those terrifying blue gazes now having that of regrets.I slapped him across the face real hard, “How dare…” my voice was muffled as I felt my whole body shake, my heart hurt, as I fell to the ground.“Hazel, can you hear me?” I heard him call several times as he shook my body.The pain dissipated and I sat on the floor staring at him confused at first.“You marked me?” I solicited not minding the weird pain that had just affected me.“I didn't,” he responded and walked off, “Where the fuck are you going? Answer my question,” I stood on my feet but fell back to the ground, I could only bare my teeth, as I glared at him.If he did not mark me what pain did I just feel? “Lady Hazel?” I turned to see the girl who had introduced herself as Tina this morning standing beside me
IVY{Ivy stop it's going to affect you so badly, remember what Mama told you} Skylar pleaded with me, but I shook my head.With my eyes closed, my palm on his wound, I felt something glow around me.My medallion, we might not know much about it, but one thing we can tell is that it's so powerful.A force pushed me backward, “I won't watch you save him,” Alpha groaned, kicking Sir. Maverick's body.Alpha Daren strode toward me and crouched to my level, I refused to look up at him, “I told you I would never let you go, he must have treated you fairly.” My eyes down, I refused to look up.He pinched my chin and jerked it up so that my gaze would meet with his.“I am talking with you,” he thundered, his eyes traveled down my Medallion and I pushed him away roughly.“Seized her,” he ordered, tears trickling down my face and I shook my head.I heard someone cough, and my eyes darted at Sir Maverick“You are alive," I cried out crawling toward him but Alpha matched my left stopping me.He t
HAZEL“Lady Hazel,” my name was being called over and over, I shifted back with my hands still on my chest still hurting so bad.“She is in pain,” I muttered, covering my ears, but it wasn't working, “Lady…”“Let me go!” I couldn't explain the kind of power that erupted from me, but my medallion shone like a barricade protecting me, as I let out a scream.It's been a long time since I felt her pain, does this mean Daren is hurting her?What if he wants to kill her? Suddenly everything went back to normal, but the pain was still there.I covered my ears with my hands until I felt Maddox's presence.“It's going to be okay,” he mumbled, "I didn't know when I flung my hands around him.“My sister, Maddox… she is in pain, help..” “Stop,” he pushed me away before I could say more, “I can’t bring her to the pack, I have my reason for bringing you here in the first place,” he mind-linked me.I couldn't help the anger erupting from my heart, I pushed him again and stood on my feet.Not mindin
MADDOX I walked into the basement cell Hazel was put in, but I halted my steps immediately and gestured for Zues not to make a sound.I could sense another presence in Hazel's cell. {We should save her then instead of waiting here till she gets hurt,} Salvatore growled but I stood still.This same scent, the fucking Rogue is with Hazel,” I groaned, I was infuriated, and I wanted to go attack him.But the next word I heard broke me so bad, I didn't want to believe she still had the thought to kill me.She wants to pretend to live with me and then unlive me through the process.“Why?” the question bothered Sal and me.I glanced at Zeus and gestured for him to leave, guess they heard the footsteps so I just showed up in front of her cell.I knew I wouldn't meet him there anymore, “He called her his mate and she believed that. Is that how stupid she wanted to be so she could end me?Staring into her eyes was heartache brewing inside of me, what could I do to ease the fury she had for me
PROTECTING HIMMADDOX"Again!"Aunt Marissa's voice echoed, I could only let out another discomforting grunt when the wand hit me, my torso down to my leg hurt.My heart is aching like shit, I just wanted something to soothe the pain my heart was going through right now but the pain is currently beating it."Elders! Please forgive Maddox!" Brianna's voice yelped, making me shut my lids in discomfort.At this rate, my wolf already coiled back with pain brewing all over him.{I can't wait for the time to be right so I finally teach that beast a lesson,} Sal groaned out, as blood was now gushing out my mouth."Why do you think I should forgive an Alpha who is supposed to know the consequence that following a rule but still breaking it,"Aunt Marissa asked Brianna who looked down in fright even though she was determined to save me."Punish the one who is making him not obey your rules," My wolf let out a turbulent roar, the one that made my aunt retreat in fright."One word from you and I
HAZELI snuggle closer to feel comfortable with the warm figure I lay on.Surprise washed all over me when I noticed it was a human figure I had been snuggling, my eyes widened, as I gaped peacefully like I had no troubles.So confused at what had just transpired, the only thing I could recall was going into the so-called Abyss Chamber.My head suddenly went blank and it seemed as if I had backed out.“What the hell is going on with me?" I looked down at my naked body, to see it covered with a duvet.Again I sleep with him, and my body trembles in fear, what exactly went on?I wore the first thing my hands touched about to scramble out of the bed. His firm grip pulled me back.“Why are you suddenly leaving?" He asked, a bit weak I could see the torture must have affected him.“Going to my room, of course the bell just rang and I will be in trouble with your aunt if I don't get there on time," I explained, pulling my hands from him and dashing out of his room.I prayed so badly and hop
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
