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
IVYIt's been hell for me ever since I killed Lilliana since she was another one of Alpha Darren’s favorites so he doubled my punishment.He never visited me and would send his men to deliver his messages to me.He also doesn't forget to deliver me being the cause of his sudden overwork.I found out not too long ago the one I had killed was an Alpha of a neighboring pack.“Just what he deserves!” I grunted at the thought of recalling my painful night.My body is in pain, my wolf has finally gone into hiding, and she no longer responds to my calls.My finger scrapes on the ground, and as I crawl forward, my whole body is etched with discomfort.“Alpha Daren is on his way here,” one of the men guarding my cell door announced.The chafing feelings in me surfaced, and I receded not wanting to have any body contact with him.It's the first time I have seen him after he brought me forcefully from Sir Maverick.The cell door opened, and he walked in looking majestic in his all-black garment.
IVYI sighed for the millionth time as I cooked for Daren and his new Client, who is also an Alpha.My mind went back to the time I and my sister would be in the same kitchen together. Sometimes when my mind is taken back to our miseries I feel she hasn't forgotten about me but is also looking for a way to save me.Just then Lady Magaret walked inside, looking stunning with her head high.I still don't understand what relationship she has with Daren. He doesn't want to let her go and still cheat on her face.At first, I felt he was cheating on me with her but since I rejected him, I feel no affection for him.I averted my gaze from her and concentrated on the meal I was cooking only for her to stop behind me.I dismissed this and proceeded, but she moved to my side, now gaping at me for a while. Even though I was kind of worried about the reason she was acting this weird, I still didn't glance her way.“You shouldn't do things that would make life difficult for you.” I rolled my eye
HAZELZeus' words echoed in my head severally, despite how many times I tried to understand why he had said that, but still nothing was adding up.A door knock jolted me out of my rivalry, “Only then did something, clicked in my head.Zeus has the power to dissipate also since I recalled locking my door.I strutted toward the door, only to be met with Maddox's smirking face."Why are you here now?” I solicited, but the smirk on his face evaporated, he walked inside my room looking around.Then I knew he must have smelled the Rogue scent, heck when will I know his name?"You are not trying to find out more about him are you?” My subconscious thought reminded me, and I rolled my eyes at this."Why was he in your room?” The eerie tone means one thing he is so pissed."That isn't a..” my breath sized, and his eye color changed, he moved closer to me now stopping me from moving. His eyes traced down to my neck and let me go, “Why is there a mark on your neck?" He solicited now with worry
HAZEL FIVE MONTHS LATER“Lady Hazel take it easy on yourself, your wound is deep.." Lesly announced it was finally the day for the match.One thought in my mind, “Avenge their death!" That is the only word that has kept me going.“Easy? Sleep? Rest?" I detest those words now, All I want to hear is about training.Brianna is still too strong for me to handle but I still manage to stand my ground now.Lesly walked out of the room to get something and then I felt a presence behind me, not bothering to look back at who it was.“What do you want now?" I solicited, “You only used the poisoned once for him, when the fuck are going to use the rest?”"I don't plan on giving him an easy death,” I responded, now striding toward the door, and then he pulled me back."You might be my mate, but just a hit you are gone," he proclaimed, I turned to him, but before he could get what I was about to do I poked my both index fingers into his eyes.“Hey!"“Make this be the last time you call yourself my
HAZELI wiped the little tears that were about to trickle down my face. The gaze I got from other girls didn't bother me a bit, “You did well, I love the courage you put on,” with a dirty smirk Brianna let out.Instead of me bickering with her I only just rolled my eyes and strutted my way down to my room.While Lesly and Christina happily made a description of how well I fought.Ever since the alleged death of my twin, I haven't been as agile as I always have been.I just want to become his Luna so I can find my sister, I still don't want to believe she died. “Did you see Lady Brianna’s face?” Lesly asked with a chuckle, while Christina only smiled at her.We got to my room, and I just lay on my bed, my mind still deep in thought. “Lady Hazel, you need to get yourself treated before you start another set of training,” I shook my head, not in the mood to get treated.Still lying on my bed someone knocked on the door, through the scent I could tell quickly it was none other than Zeus
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
