Dark moon pack~Hazel’s suiteHazel stepped out of the bathroom, she was greeted by the warm glow of the bedroom lamp. She wrapped the towel around her head, turban-style, and began to dry her hair, her thoughts still lingering on the events of the day. She walked over to the dresser, her eyes catching on the small, framed photo of her, Naya, and Maya. She smiled and Just as she was about to start getting ready for bed, she heard a knock at the door. "Hazel, can I come in?" It was Noah, his voice soft and gentle.Hazel's heart skipped a beat as she wondered what Noah wanted. "Yeah, come in," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Noah entered the room, his eyes filled with concern.“Naya informed me about what happened with Danika at the studio,” Noah said and Hazel sighed “I told her not to inform you” Hazel muttered Noah's expression turned from concern to understanding. "Ah, I see. Well, regardless of whether you wanted me to know or not, I'm here now, and I want to help.
Moon shadow castle Luna Hazel could be seen crying while she run to her room She just found out her sister is pregnant and not just for anyone but her husband,her mate “I won’t take this” Hazel cried loudly “What do you think you can do” She remembered Ethan’s voice As Hazel's bare feet pounded against the cold marble floors, her world seemed to crumble around her. The shattered pieces of her heart clattering in her chest like a storm. How could she go on, knowing that her own sister had betrayed her so completely, seduced her mate, conceived a child with him? The thought alone was enough to make her collapse to her knees, shaking with sobs and fury. In the stillness of her room, she heard Ethan’s voice echo in her mind. What could she do, indeed? She rose to her feet, her face streaked with tears.“Luna” Her personal maid,lia called from the door “Please leave lia,I don’t need you at the moment” Hazel shouted “I can’t leave you all alone,and also the Alpha called for a meetin
Nora, Ethan's only elder sister entered Layla's suite with an overwhelming smile. She rushed to hug Layla immediately her eyes landed on her. With a curious voice, she asked"Oh, darling! I heard about what happened, did that witch hurt you?Layla smiled seeing how furious Nora was. The look on Nora's face gave her confidence that someone was ready to back her up."Of course not, my brave, strong Ethan saved me.” Her eyes glittered, a mix of glee and triumph. Layla smiled up at Nora, her hand resting gently on her swelling stomach. “It won't be long now before I take my rightful place as Luna and Hazel… well, she can stay out of the way for all I care.”Nora smiled her expression a mirror of Layla’s own. “You’re so close to achieving everything you’ve ever wanted, darling. And with a child on the way?”“You’re the best sister in law ever” Layla smiled and Nora smiled “I want you for my brother..not a barren who couldn’t give him a child for the past three years,” Nora said Layla
Hazel woke up and found herself in the street, her body was full of dirtHazel blinked, the world coming into focus as she stirred awake. The cobbled streets of the town were cold and unforgiving beneath her, the flickering streetlights illuminating the dirt that coated her fur.The night was quiet, the only sound the distant murmur of revelry from the castle, the wind rustling the trees. The smell of the forest filled Hazel’s nose, a haunting reminder of what she’d lost. “No,” she growled, the fire of defiance flaring in her chest. “I won’t let them do this to me.She stood up and headed back to the castle, who knows if Ethan might change his mind and accept her back again She got to the castle door and thankfully, no guard was around there Just as she made to start going inside, a voice stopped her “Are you so desperate to be our Luna again” Hazel turned to see Nora, she didn’t know why but Nora hated her for no reason “Nora.” Hazel’s voice was flat, unyielding. “What do you wa
Hazel entered the hotel room she lodged inside, it was small but comfortable at least for the night The door shut behind her with a soft click, the silence of the room enveloping Hazel in its stillness. She moved around the space in a daze, as if in a dream, her steps muted and slow.The bed was small, the walls bare, but Hazel found herself not caring. For the first time in as long as she could remember, she was truly alone, free from the expectations and constraints of pack life. And yet, the loneliness ached like a phantom limb.*Now we are going to be here, you can’t even fight for yourself* Mia said *I’m not ready to talk to you* Hazel muttered *you think I want to talk to you too* Mia spat and cut off the mild link Hazel sighed and lay down on the bedThe silence in the room seemed to magnify Hazel’s loneliness, the air thick with the absence of pack, of family, of the mate she’d once thought would be hers. She closed her eyes, trying to silence the whispering, the stab of b
Next Morning~Layla’s suiteLayla paced the room, her bare feet padding against the thick carpet as she listened to the voice on the other end of the phone. Her voice was low and harsh, her tone brooking no argument. "Listen to me," she hissed, her nails digging into her palm. "I'm not paying you to hem and haw. I'm paying you to do a job. And if you can't handle that, I'll find someone who can."She paused, letting her words sink in, her eyes fixed on the muted TV. "This isn't negotiable."I want confirmation before sundown," Layla snapped, her patience wearing thin. "If you can't deliver, I'll find someone who can."She paused again, taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart. "And don't forget, you'll be handsomely rewarded if you do this right. I have my own another person waiting and I won't hesitate to replace you if you disappoint me."She hung up the phone without waiting for a response, her fingers trembling with rage. “I have to do this if I want to enjoy my marriage wit
Hazel could be seen sleeping peacefully,her wounds have been treated and her dress has been changed The daylight poured in through the windows, banishing the shadows from the room. Hazel stirred, her eyes fluttering open to the unfamiliar surroundings.She sat up slowly, her body aching from the exertion of the day before. The cabin was silent, the air still and heavy with the scent of pine.Hazel's mind raced as she struggled to make sense of the situation. She was safe, for now. But what would happen when the Alpha sent more men to find her?And then there was the matter of the driver. Who was he? Why had he helped her?“Oh you’re awake” A lady entered the roomHazel scrambled back against the sofa, her hands digging into the fabric as she tried to put distance between herself and the stranger.But the lady’s expression was not hostile. His eyes were warm, his smile gentle. "I'm sorry," She said, holding up his hands in a gesture of peace. "I didn't mean to startle you."Hazel sw
Noah rose from his chair, his movements graceful and deliberate. He was tall, his body lean and muscular, his eyes a striking shade of blue that seemed to see straight through Hazel. "So," he said, his voice low and commanding. "You're the one who's been causing all the trouble."Hazel swallowed hard, her eyes searching his face for any hint of aggression. But she saw none. Only a cool, calculating intelligence that made her uneasy."I'm...I'm sorry," she stammered, her voice trembling.“Come on brother,don’t be so harsh on her” Maya pouts and hold Hazel’s hand “After eating,leave and don’t ever come back” Noah said Hazel stared at Noah in shock, her hand trembling in Maya's grasp. "Leave?" she repeated, her voice breaking. "But...but I don't understand. Why would you help me if you want me to leave?"Maya's grip tightened, her face pleading with Hazel. "Brother, please," she begged, her eyes wide with fear. "Can't we just let her stay for a little while longer?"But Noah's expr
