Scumbag Contract Husband, My Regretful Mate is Back Chapter 14
At the head of the long wooden table, Ryland sat calmly and composedly while the pack's elders talked about pressing issues. Candlelight flickered in the dimly lit room, creating shadows on the walls that were decorated with the history of the pack. Ryland hardly noticed the subtle scent of burning pinewood in the air. Shit!His mind was faraway again.“There are more rogue attacks than necessary,” Elder Malcolm stated solemnly. “Security along the borders needs to be strengthened. I don't know why you are allowing rogues to get into the pack.”He hissed in frustration, but he knew better not to say anything that would infuriate the Alpha.Just yesterday, news had flown into his ears that the Alpha had brought in a rogue girl.How could he be this careless?Too much unnecessary indulgence will get the whole pack into trouble.He wanted to tell Alpha Ryland this, but thought better of it.Elder Silas gave a nod of agreement saying, “Eastern border is particularly of concern. We risk

Recalling the meeting held with the elders, Ryland's deep resentment swirled up. The pack's future alliances and his leadership were among the topics covered.Although all they said were reasonable and logical, one suggestion however, had made him angry.He paced his study, whispering out of frustration to himself.The elders had also reminded him of the need to crown a Luna—to make Serena his Luna, as if he was daft. That he was wasting too much time, and that he needed to act fast. If only they knew that it was the least of his problems at the moment. His desires were hot and he desperately wanted to quench it.“It is high time you settle down with someone who can help you in strengthening the pack—bear an heir for the pack,” he growled, repeating the exact words of Elder Malcolm to himself, hissing loudly in frustration.“As if I am not already aware of that!” he barked.“Oh, the rogue girl,” he cried. She was his torment.The thought of his encounter with Hazel stirred his wolf,

Still in the pool of regrets in his study, Ryland sat behind his desk, his fingers unreligiously tapping the surface with his head lowered.He wished to have a nap, but it feels like sleep itself was forbidden.Every second that passed with no information received caused his rage to get on him and the strain in his chest would not go away. He felt a mixture of frustration and longing thinking of Hazel and how terribly he treated her, and the memory clung to him like a shadow. The guards had left to find her and the earlier she was found the better for everyone.His thoughts were interrupted by a gentle knock on the door."Come in," he said sternly as he sat up straight.He was hoping it would be the guards, as he was anxiously waiting for good news—to see Hazel again.This time he promised himself that he won't let her out of his sight.Serena entered as the door squeaked open, and he sighed in frustration, and disappointment stretched on his face.Her emerald-green dress perfectly

Time had passed ever since Hazel was brought into the dungeon, and slowly, she grew used to sitting in one spot for hours. The dungeon was a complete world of its own—dark, damp, and heavy with the scent of mildew and decay. She had lost track of time down here. Days bled into nights, the only indicators of passing hours were the distant footsteps of different guards who came to drop stale bread and murky water by her feet. It was humiliating. It felt terrible that she had been reduced to this after everything she had once been.Hazel sat in her usual spot, her back pressed against the rough freezing wall as her chains rattled slightly with every minor shift of her body.Somehow, Hazel had learned to live in silence. To keep her thoughts to herself.And yet, Mira, the female bodyguard, had found a way to break that silence.The bodyguard stood just a few feet away, leaning against the iron bars with her arms crossed, watching Hazel with a contemplative expression. She wasn’t like

"I can tell that you're hiding something. Trust me, you don't want to know what I will do to you if I find out that you are actually hiding anything from me..." A deep voice growled in the dimly lit chamber. His voice was sharp, and almost impatient as he cleared his throat. "Mira!" He barked at the lady who stood before him. Mira held her breath as she blinked at him without a word. Her hands were clasped tightly behind her back as she stood rigidly, barely moving an inch. She had her eyes pinned on the man who was seated across from her at an enormous wooden desk. His name was Darius Voss, the most powerful leader of one of the deadliest trafficking rings. It was the very trafficking ring that Mira now worked for. She eyed her boss without a word, as her heart thumped in her chest. She could tell that he knew she had something to hide, but she didn't know if it was safer to say anything else than all she had already told him. She tore her eyes away from his face as she look

Bang!There was a loud crash at the far end of the dark hallway which led to the dungeon. Hazel froze in horror as heavy footsteps approached the dungeon, and she glanced at the overheard fire touch which flickered above her. Then, she shut her eyes, taking in a sharp breath. It was time! She reasoned. It was probably time for her to be taken by whoever was in charge of this dungeon. She bit down on her lower lips as the sound of the footsteps drew closer. Seconds later, Hazel was sure that she wasn’t alone. The heavy iron door groaned open, and a tall figure stepped inside. He had an intimidating presence which seemed to suck air from the room, like a predator entering the den of its prey.He was composed, with precise movements. The kind of man who never had to raise his voice to be feared.Hazel remained seated on the thin cot, her wrists shackled in front of her, her back pressed against the wall.She refused to stand. Whoever he was, she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction

The next few days passed in a blur of silence. Hazel grew uneasy and she kept to herself, refusing to talk to anyone. She needed a plan. She needed to find a way out. The thought of spending the rest of her life in this place, under Darius’s control, made her stomach churn.One evening, she heard footsteps. Not the usual ones. These were slow and deliberate. They stopped right outside her cell.Hazel looked up. Mira stood there, arms crossed, her face tight with something Hazel couldn’t quite read.“Hazel,” Mira said quietly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want this.”Hazel’s jaw tightened. She didn’t speak right away, just stared, studying her.“What do you want?” Her voice was cold, flat.Mira shifted uncomfortably. “Darius… he’s asking about you. About your past. He’s getting interested, and that’s not a good thing.”“I don’t care what he wants,” Hazel said, standing. The chains around her wrists clinked as she moved. “I’ll get out of here. I always do.”Mira hesitated.“You can’t do this

"Afraid of you?" Darius scoffed. "Isn't it obvious?" Hazel shot at him. The smirk on Darius' face didn't waver, but something in his gaze shifted.Hazel continued. “You come in here, trying to intimidate me, but it’s not working. You know why?” She let the silence stretch before whispering, “Because you know I’m going to get out of here. And when I do, I’ll make you regret ever touching me. You underestimate me."For the first time, Darius said nothing. He stared at her for a long moment before standing. “We’ll see about that,” he said.And then he was gone.The second he left, Hazel exhaled slowly, letting the tension leave her body.She had rattled him. Even just a little, but she had to move faster.Every night, she studied the guards with more attention. She listened to their conversations, learned their habits. The loose bolt in the bars? She had been working on it for days, carefully loosening it little by little when no one was looking.Mira.She wasn’t fully loyal to Dariu

"Baby?" Serena mewed like a cat, her voice loud yet shaky. She waved her hand in front of his eyes to make sure the sleeping pills were effective. Slowly she got out of bed, rushed towards her bag, and they took out the layers of napkin while rubbing her sweaty hands against her lingerie.Serena pulled out the bottle Rodrigo had given her. She pierced it, and drew out the green colored liquid, cringing at the sight of it. "This looks concerning," she whispered to herself, staring at the syringe. Ryland made a sound and she froze in fear. Slowly she turned back to find him still asleep. "Goddess help me," she muttered, walking towards him with the poison in hand. She took his hands as she placed the syringe on his shoulder. Her heart pounded and just as she was about to inject the substance into him, his eyes peeled open. "What are you doing?" Ryland's voice came sharp and unexpected, making Serena freeze in shock. Her whole body trembled as she slowly stared to see a pair of glow

Serena sat in Ryland's room in dark purple lingerie. It had been so long since he had touched her and she found herself cringing at the thought. She sat on his bed passing a hand through her hair. Even though she hated to admit it, she was very nervous and anyone could see it with how sweaty she was. Letting out a groan, Serena went through her bag, pulling out her napkin. She dabbed her face and neck with it until she felt dry enough.Shoving the used napkin in the bag she took her phone staring at the text she had sent him. "Still no reply," she muttered, becoming impatient. She looked around his room trying to snoop for anything that could help Rodrigo, but found nothing; most of his drawers were either empty or locked. She let out a frustrated sigh, falling back on the bed. "Should I call?" She asked herself as she picked up her phone, but she thought against it and dropped it. A yawn left her lips and soon she fell asleep. The sound of the door being pushed open woke Serena u

Ryland stared at the elders in front of him. They had decided to meet up after Adam's death and this was one of the few times he had been free since then. Unfortunately, Adam's death still had no murderer tied to it. Even though he did play a vital role in the pack, a part of Ryland was happy he was dead. The plus side being that he didn't even have to do it. Ryland fought a yawn, staring straight ahead. He checked his wrist watch, mentally groaning when he found out that they had barely made it through half the time. The buzzing of his phone rang through the hall, and this made the elders halt in their discussion as they turned to stare at him. Some gave him bitter glares, but swallowed their words, not brave enough to say a word. Ryland apologized to them before picking his phone from the table. He had no intention of receiving the call, but seeing the contact name, he was shocked. Aaron?With that he got up, "You can go on without me," he said to the elder beside him, walking

"What are you doing?" Rodrigo yelled, taking hold of Hazel's arm. She glared at him, yanking it out of his grip. "I need to talk to you, and I'm tired of standing," she replied back, her chest heaving. Rodrigo studied her for a while. It was clear this had nothing to do with wanting to talk to him. She took a deep breath, and glanced at his door and his heart skipped a beat as he waited for her to try to push it open. But to his surprise, Hazel turned back to face him. "What's in there that you don't want me to see?" She asked, staring at him with squinted eyes.Rodrigo's eyes glared wide as he searched his brain for what to say. For some reason, lying to her felt difficult. "You know what? I don't even care," she snapped, turning away. Rodrigo stared at Hazel's retreating figure in confusion. Something about her seemed uneasy. Her eyes looked different from before and Rodrigo felt a chill run down his spine. "It's probably the baby," Leo muttered, and Rodrigo nodded in agreemen

"You what?" Serena yelled, and Rodrigo squeezed his eyes shut, and remained calm. "You want me to kill someone!!” she repeated in a frustrated tone. Rodrigo rolled his eyes at her childishness. "Yes, Serena. I want you to kill someone. You killed your uncle. This should be easier," he said, running a hand through his hair. The low growl on the other side of the phone told him that his words had gotten to her, but he had no sympathy to share. "Yea. He was my uncle, but he wasn't all that important. Ryland is an Alpha, and one of the strongest and richest at that. I'm going to get caught," she whispered. "Why the hell are you lecturing me? Do what I want you to do," Rodrigo yelled back. Images of him lying dead on the dirt road filled his mind, and it only made him more anxious. "Look, this is all you have to do. If you kill him no one stands in our way and you'll become my Luna," Rodrigo tried to convince her. "He really isn't in your way. He just wants his slut back," Serena mu

Rodrigo peeled his eyes open sitting up. He took a look at his surroundings, squinting his eyes. "Where am I?" He muttered to himself, trying to ignore the growing migraine. Slowly he stood on his feet and he could barely see.How did I get to this place? He took off his suit jacket and threw it. Rodrigo tried to find his way back to the pack, taking the normal route, but after walking for a few minutes it dawned on him that he was going in circles. The fog made it hard for him to see, and his patience began wearing thin. He stuffed his hands into his pocket in search of his phone, but found nothing. "Shu! Am I lost, or what?" He muttered, running his hand down his face as if clearing his views well.A low growl resounded in the air and Rodrigo paused, scanning around him. A sense of deja vu hit him, but he had no idea why. "Who's there?" He asked, his voice loud and firm, but no response came. "I can hear you; whoever you are, you had better come out before it's too late," he or

Hazel turned to see Aaron standing a few paces in front of her. She could barely make out his face in the dim light, but his eyes shone brightly. "What are you looking for?" Aaron asked Hazel, stepping closer. "You were banned from stepping out." “I am quite aware of my situation. Thank you,"Hazel retorted, anger evident in her tone because of his words. She needed him to talk to Ryland not to tell her what she already knew. "Yea, you're right. I'm sorry,” Aaron apologized, his head slightly bowed at the same time. They stared at each other for a while before Hazel looked away trying to remember why she was there. "Yes-" Hazel tried to say something, but was cut off. "I've got something for you," Aaron said, staring at Hazel. "It seems you were about to say something," he pointed out, but Hazel shook her head wanting to hear what he had to say. "Are you sure?" He asked and she nodded "Alright. Ehm, Alpha Ryland asked me to give you something," he said and her eyes lit up. "O

Hazel sat on her bed, a book in hand. Her fingers dug into the pages, her mind far away. She thought of Ryland, it had been more than a week since Rodrigo found about the burner phone and she had not heard a word from him. She tried everything to see Aaron, but it turned out to be harder than she thought. A loud sigh left her lips. Just then Maria poked her head through the door. "Don't you know how to knock?" Hazel hissed, feigning annoyance. "Well, if you want privacy, lock the door. Luna!" Maria shot back, calling her Luna like it was the biggest insult. "Why are you here?" She asked, placing the book by her side. "If you look outside you'd see that it's past sunset. That means it is dinner time," Maria said, slamming the door before Hazel could reply. A bitter chuckle left Hazel's lips, but she got up and walked out of her room.Hazel dreaded the idea of having to spend time with Rodrigo. In the past few days, they had eaten together, and even though he barely said a word bec

Rodrigo stared at Hazel, his gaze strong. His lips stretched into a cold grin as he got up to walk away. He could feel her eyes on him, but he moved on without turning back. He walked towards his office ignoring the terrified glances his workers gave him. Pushing his door open he sat, and grabbing a bottle of whiskey on his desk, he settled himself, chugging it down at once. Seeing that one cup could not quench the anger boiling inside, he filled another cup and was about to drink from it when his phone buzzed. With annoyance, Rodrigo placed the cup on the table and fished his phone out. Serena's name popped up and he rolled his eyes, memories of their last call sinking in. He casually let the phone sit on the table while he sipped his drink, but Serena did not back down as her calls kept coming. Frustrated, Rodrigo picked the phone, holding it against his ear. "What is it?" He yelled, clutching the phone so tight that it felt like it was going to break. "Seriously you need to w
