HAZEL’S POVI placed the bowl, that was once filled with food, down on the tray that was set on the table beside the bed. I looked at the empty bowl, a crushing feeling in my chest. Killian had brought me food again, just like he always did, but he did not look at me, nor talk to me.The way he treated me the previous day was still etched in my mind, and I was honestly expecting an apology from him. But what did I expect? For that cold man to apologise? To me? I couldn’t believe myself.I exhaled deeply and swung my legs down from the bed. I was feeling restless again, and the only thing that could ease it, was a walk. I needed to feel the wind ok my skin and gaze at pretty flowers that were in bloom.That was the only way I could keep myself sane.I pushed myself up from the bed and marched to the door. Once I swung it open, the three guards that were in front of the door turned to me, a look of irritation and disdain in their eyes.“What are you doing girl? You are not supposed to l
KILLIAN’S POVI was fuming, enraged by the sight I had just seen. I swirled my office chair back and forth, unable to sit still, as the image of Orion and Hazel walking side by side was etched in my mind. For some reason I couldn’t get the unsettling feeling out of my chest.I rose up from my chair and began to pace around, to try and calm my anger. My mind was swarmed with thoughts, thoughts on why Orion would take Hazel on a walk. I needed answers, or my mind was never going to be at ease.I exhaled harshly, and a knock came on the door. I snapped my head to the door, my anger rising.“Get in Orion, now,” I boomed.The door swung open slowly and Orion slipped in with a sheepish look on his face.“You called me Alpha?”“You know why I called you here. What the hell where you doing with Hazel?”Orion tilted his head to the side and had this innocent look on his face. He was like a child, clueless on what I was talking about. It infuriated me.“What are you talking about Alpha?”“Are y
HAZEL’S POVI wake up suddenly, my whole body jerking back. My thoughts are in high definition as my eyes scan my surroundings. The first thing my eyes saw was the sun, with it’s warm rays shining on me.I snapped my head to the side and saw that I was seated on a chair, in the balcony and then I remembered sitting out here last night, watching the beautiful moon. I must’ve falling asleep without realising it.I rose up from the chair and stretched my sore arms and legs. I walked back into the new room Killian had put me and sighed. I was much more better than before, which made Killian finally agree for me to leave the hospital.I had expected him to take me back to the cold room in the basement, but to my surprise, he took me to a room that was rather decent. It had a big soft bed, a large wardrobe and a desk with some books on it.I was feeling better and more refreshed than I ever did.I walked over to the wardrobe and swung it open. It had a few plain gowns in it and I decided to
HAZEL’S POVMy eyes bulged out of sockets, as I watched a woman, throw another maid to the ground. All the other maids stopped throwing food at me and I could sense fear in their demeanour. They all began to move away, in an attempt to get away from her.But the maid was determined to get all of them. She swiftly ran to the maids, throwing all of them to the ground in one move. I was in awe at how strong she was. She began to hit them on their faces, and threw her fists into their guts.They all lay on the floor, weak and helpless. One of them tried to run away, but the maid grabbed her by the neck and slammed her down to the ground.“Where the hell do you think you’re going? If you can bully someone, you should be able to handle it,” She boomed.The maid picked up the food plates and poured food all over them. All the maids that laid on the floor began to sob and I could see their body was throbbing with pain. They all picked themselves up from the ground and scampered away like scar
KILLIAN’S POVI swirled around in my arm chair, my mind in a daze. I couldn’t get Hazel out of my mind, specifically, the way she had been acting recently. Her behaviour had caught my attention and I couldn’t get it out of my head.I could still remember the scene very vividly, when I said those words to her. The way her face went pale and the horrified look on her face was a sight to see. The way her face changed to anger quickly was also quite shocking.It was rather funny that she believed my words, and actually thought I would kill Celeste, when in reality, I only did that to scare her. I swirled my chair back to the table, a chuckle escaping my lips.One behaviour that also stuck to me was the way her face flushed when I reminded her of the prize she was supposed to give me. The way her cheeks turned a rosy red and the way she couldn’t meet my gaze was amusing and I couldn’t help but laugh at that.I could see the paranoia in her eyes when we walked past each other in the hallway
HAZEL’S POVMy whole body quivered from his words and when Killian looked at me again, there was a smirk on his lips. Clearly he was enjoying this. He was enjoying seeing the way I reacted to his words and it infuriated me.The way his eyes cascaded down my body made me feel uncomfortable and it angered me even more.I tried to push him away, but he was like a brick wall, only getting closer and closer, pushing me to the end. I could tell his goal was to make me feel helpless at his feet, and it was working. I clenched my fists by my side, anger rising in my throat.But then, an idea popped up in my head and my eyes lit up.I smirked at him, and my sudden change in demeanour was noticed. He raised an eyebrow at him and my smirk got wider.“Maybe I was watching you, but you were the one that walked up to me, is that not? Are you that obsessed with me?”“Wh-“I ran my fingers from his chest, down to his torso and paused right under his belly button. I kept eye contact with him, and his
HAZEL’S POVThe small the bottle of purple liquid sat on the bedside table and that was all my eyes had been fixed on since morning. Celeste’s words were roaming around in my head, resounding again, and again as I fought to make my decision.I reached for the bottle and raised it up into the air. Sunlight streaming through the window hit the bottle, making it glint. I let out a heavy sigh, my chest carrying a certain weight. Killing was something I never imagined I’d do.Killian was a bad person, but he was still human. Killing him because of his actions just seemed a bit too much. I sighed and placed the vial back on the table. I had made up my mind; I was going to meet up Killian, and then, I would make my decision.A rapid knock came on my door and once I looked to it, a voice rang from behind.“It is time for breakfast weak wolf!”Giggles followed after, and I rolled my eyes. This was a daily routine I went through with the maids. They did not need to call me everyday, but they di
KILLIAN’S POVThe moment Hazel stepped out of the office, a pang rang through my chest. The realisation of the words I had thrown at her dawned on me, and the weight of it crushed me. How could I have said such things to her?The hurt and anger she has across her face rang through my mind, and I instantly felt terrible for what I said. How was she going to treat me after the words I had told her?I scoffed, throwing the document I had in my hand to the side. Why should I care how she felt? It did not matter to me, and I was not going to feel sorry or apologize to her.I pushed Hazel out of my mind and went back to signing and stamping the documents in front of me. After a few hours had passed, I looked up from the paperwork and exhaled sharply.Hazel was still in my mind, like a leech and it was hard to get her out of it. I couldn’t get that hurt look out of my head no matter how much I tried. My eyes travelled to the clock as I tried to get Hazel out of my mind and I saw that it was
HAZEL’S POVAnxiety hung heavy over me as I reviewed everything Celeste had told me to do. We had concocted a plan, but I was extremely worried on whether or not I would be able to execute it properly.I paced around my room, biting my fingernails as worry filled my mind. Would this plan go well? Would I be able to execute it flawlessly? What if I completely messed it up? I couldn’t stop these questions from plaguing my mind.“I can smell your anxiety all the way from here.”I turned to see Celeste walking out of the bathroom. She flopped down on the bed a s titled her head at me.“So? Are you ready for this?”“Do I Look like I’m ready? I don’t even think I can do this. What if I mess up Celeste? What if things don’t go as planned?”Celeste sighed and rose up from the bed. She walked up to me and placed her hands on my shoulder.“Look, I trust you, because
HAZEL’S POVI paced around the room, biting my nails as anticipation filled my entire being. It was already midnight, but I had no plans of falling asleep as I was determined to wait for Killian to come back.I kept walking around the room as I could not bring myself to sit still. My eyes occasionally went to the wall clock and I was keeping track of the time. Since I had come back to my room, three hours had passed, but there was no sign of Killian.Anxiety was eating me up inside and I didn’t know how long I could take this feeling. As I kept pacing around, knock came on the door, catching my attention instantly. I ran up to the door, hoping that Killian would be behind it.I opened up the door and I clicked my tongue when I saw Orion. All my expectations went down the drain, but I was also curious as to why he was here.“Where is alpha Killian?” I asked immediately.“Killian has some important work he is atte
KILLIAN’S POV“So what exactly is the problem that you had to drag me away from my dinner?”Orion, who was walking beside me kept his head bent low and his eyes fixed on the floor. There was a hint of worry and terror in his eyes and that made me even more curious to know what had happened. I kept my eyes fixed on Orion, in order to read his body language and noticed how his body quivered slightly. My curiosity was at its peak now.And from what I could tell, it was an urgent matter.“Your alpha is asking you a question, so answer, now,” I boomed.Orion refused to meet my gaze, but he opened up his mouth to speak. No words came out of it and I saw how his lips quivered. That was when a chill ran up my spine. This was more serious than I thought. O grabbed Orion by the collar and forced him to look my way.“You better open up your mouth to speak, now!”Orion with wide eyes nodded, before I let him go.“We will need to go to your office first. There is something you must see.”Orion too
HAZEL’S POVThe moment those words slipped out of my mouth, I regretted it instantly. I could feel eyes on me, and that made me feel like a cornered mouse. My eyes flickered to Celeste and the horrified look on her face made my heart drop.Nausea poked at my stomach, as I tried to think of a way to salvage the situation, but as I heard the chair scraping the floor, I lost all hope. Killian had stood up from the chair and he had a stern, yet curious look in his eyes.“Why did you tell me to stop?”My eyes switched to him and they remained wide. I opened up my mouth to speak, but no words slipped out of them. How could they? What was I going to tell him? I tried my hardest to cook up a believable lie in my head, but nothing was coming to me.“I asked you a question Hazel, and I demand an answer,” He boomed.My anxiety was on the rise, and the tension in the air was so high, it was suffocating. There was a long streak of silence that had settled down between Killian and I, which made the
HAZELS POV“I want to go to the store and buy some items, and I request that you take me there,” I said, my head raised high.The guards, who stood in front of me, shared a look, before they all burst into loud fits of laughter. One of them wiped a bit of tears from the corner of his eyes before looking at me, like I was nothing more than a rat.“And who do you think you are, that you can come and order us around huh? Get lost slave,” He barked.I clenched my fists by my side, as I tried my hardest not to get angry. As I exhaled, I looked at each of them, dead in the eyes with a stern look on my face.“I have every right to ask you to take me out to the shops.”One of the guards raised his eyebrows and smirked. “Who died and made up Luna?”They all chuckled and I scoffed.“Why don’t you go ask Alpha Killian? He will most definitely tell you all to take me out to the shops.”They all shared a look and it was glaring that my words were not that convincing. One of them however, clapped h
KILLIAN’S POVThe monitors that hung on the wall were alive, displaying the cells, specifically the one that held Hazel’s parents. Hazel’s eyes were fixed intently on the screen and I watched, as her pupils flickered through each monitor.My eyes were fixed on her and I couldn’t take them off. Anxiety was coursing through my chest, as silence hung in the air. The silence came with a palpable tension, which was driving me to the edge.I was beginning to think that showing her how I had put our family behind bars would ruin the new friendship we had built up. The thought of that made my heart drop to the pit of my chest.My mind was swarmed with questions. What did she think? Was she happy, or was she sad? Will she be angry at me for keeping her parents in a cell?The more these questions swam around in my head, the more my guest tightened. My eyes flickered to her face and she has a stoic expression plastered on it. My anxiety it shot up the roof, at the fact that I could not tell what
HAZEL’S POV“Celeste please! Can you stop bugging me? It’s getting annoying!” I yelled.My hands paused, as I stopped kneading the dough in front of me. Celeste continued with her kneading while pouting her lips like a child that has just been scolded.“Why? I’m just asking you to tell me what happened with you and Killian last night. Did I ask you for too much?”I sighed and went back to kneading the dough. “You have been hounding me all day and I’m already annoyed that we’re on kitchen duty today. You pestering me is making it worse!”Celeste stopped kneading and turned to me. “Why are you being so secretive about it? If it’s not something you keep asking a secret, then tell me.”I shook my head. “I am not telling you! I’ve said this over and over again, so just leave me alone!”Silence fell on the whole kitchen and I began to feel bad for yelling at her just like that. I wish I could, but I knew how Celeste would react if I told her I shared an intimate moment with Killian. She wou
HAZEL’S POVI could not phantom the feeling arising in my heart the moment I witnessed Killian stand up to me. Was it happiness because he spoke up to Gray and defended me? Or was it the thrill that came with knowing I had finally won him over to my side?These thoughts clouded my head as I walked back to my room. As I placed my hand on the doorknob, a thought occurred to me. A part of me was happy that I was making progress with Killian, but another part felt terrible because I was basically lying to him.I was only getting him to trust me, so I could use that to my advantage. The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth and I couldn’t shake the thought of my mind, but then, I vividly recalled he asked to see Celeste.I walked into my room and I couldn’t stop anxiety from coursing through my entire being. Why had he called for Celeste? Was it the words I had told him yesterday? Did it offend him so much, that he was going to take it out on her.My face went ashen as all the blood drai
KILLIAN’S POVI blinked, as I tried to clear my blurred up vision, but that did not help. The words that were in front of me, on the document I held, were beginning to become incomprehensible to me. I wiped my eyes again, and tried to focus, but it was no use.I needed sleep.Last night was an agonizing journey of tossing, turning and overthinking. The cause of my turmoil? Hazel, specifically the whole situation that happened with her recently. The words she said to me, the way she ignored me was stuck on my mind and it made me a bit annoyed.How could she be angry because I was only thinking about my pack? She was just being unreasonable.I looked down at the document again, and the words were all jumbled up. I slammed the paper down on the desk and laid my head back on the air chair. Who was a fooling? I knew what I felt truly deep within me and I could not deny it any further.The truth was, I felt terrible for what I did to Hazel and she had every right to angry at me. I felt like
