Rodrigo picked his phone to call Eleanor. He could barely think straight, they were just forty minutes into their trip and he had considered turning the car around more times than he could count.

As if by fate, a call from her came through and he answered, placing the phone against his ear.

"Yes," he answered, his heart pounding with anticipation.

"The doctor just left, Hazel is in the shower," she answered and Rodrigo finally let out a breath he had no idea he was holding.

Silence followed and he could smell the judgement from Eleanor.

On cue, she spoke up, "Alpha, I don't think Hazel deserves what she goes through. She loves you. Please don't make her life hard," she finished, letting out a breath that told him she had been waiting to say that for so long.

"You don't tell me what to do with my wife. Do what you're paid to do!" Rodrigo countered, ending the call at once.

Thorne gave him a side glance but kept his verdict deep within. Rodrigo's heart churned with furry, but he

    After lots of consideration, Rlyand finally decided that he wanted to meet up with Hazel again. He didn't know how to, clearly out of ideas of how he could draw her out. So he decided he was going to find another way to communicate with her till he could see her again. So he sent Aaron, his mole in the mansion, to plant a cell phone where Hazel would take it. And surprisingly, she got hold of it really fast. "Hey sunshine," he said once she answered the phone, his heart pounding. Silence took over and Ryland looked at the phone thinking she probably ended the call. But was shocked to find it still counting. "Hazel?" He asked and for the first time he heard her take a deep breath. "I can hear you," he said and immediately she held her breath making Ryland chuckle in response. "Please say something?" He begged, itching to hear her voice again. He longed for it so bad it haunted his dreams. "Ryland?" She called out her voice barely audible, but he heard, and a needy sigh left his

    “It's about Elder Adams,” Caleb announced."Well here is a file in respect to that," he said, handing a yellow folder to Ryland. He watched him open it before talking, "Technically we found a lot of money deposited into his accounts," Caleb said, toying with his cufflinks. "I can't find the source of the deposits," Ryland mumbled, lifting his eyes from the folder. "That's the thing, we couldn't trace it either." Caleb hushed with a frustrated tone. "We spent weeks. It looks almost as if the account disappears each time, or something. This only means that whoever it is has a lot of resources," Caleb added before finally taking a seat. Ryland's ears piqued up. "You think it's Rodrigo, right?" He asked, giving Caleb a side glance. "I don't know, it could be," was Caleb's response as he took out a cigarette. "Since when did you start smoking?" Ryland asked, looking confused. "Well, don't judge till you try it. I've been spending more time with your P.I than I have been sleeping,"

    Elder Adam's curses filled the hallway and Ryland squeezed his eyes shut. His wolf Kael was eager to teach the old man some lessons, but Ryland wouldn't give in to his desire."Ryland what is happening?" A whiny voice asked and Ryland cursed under his breath. Why now?"Ryland?" Serena called again and he lifted his head glaring at her. "I can hear you," he grumbled before looking down, cupping his head in his hands. Serena's face turned to one of worry as she made her way to him. "Baby? What's the matter? You look...well you look like a mess," Serena sneered, sitting on the table. Ryland glanced up at her, peeling one eye open. He couldn't deny it, she looked beautiful but no one was ever going to hold a candle to Hazel. Another curse left his lips. Even in all this, Hazel still found a way to his mind. "I'm fine," he muttered, avoiding Serena's touch. Luckily she took the hint, putting her hand away. “So do you mind telling me what's going on?" She asked, setting her beret we

    Serena stared at her phone in shock. “Did he just end the call on me?" She whispered, about to lunge her phone out of the window. She squeezed her eyes shut taking in deep breaths as she held herself back. "What did he take me for? He should be grateful I actually want to help," she said out loud. "He is our mate," her wolf whispered and she rolled her eyes. She knew that, but he didn't treat her like one. "Maybe if you helped out more he'd show more affection," her wolf continued, and slowly Serena agreed. I am going to find out the contents of that file. With that, Serena stayed in the forest laying wait. She was going to strike when it was sunset. Slowly, she grew bored and after a while, fell asleep. She dreamt of her and Rodrigo getting married and ruling the two packs. Just then, she heard a loud thud yanking her out of sleep arms. Serena scrambled up in fear, visibly relaxing when she noticed it was a bird that fell on her glass. "Stupid bird," she whispered, groaning

    The line went silent, but Rodrigo was positive that Serena was still on the line. "Say something, time isn't exactly our friend,” he said, losing his patience. "Ehm, you see, this is quite a lot," Serena tried to explain but he was having none of it. "Kill him and prove your worth or you're just as useless as him," Rodrigo said with a smirk. He was fully aware of the effect he had on Serena and he was willing to use it to the fullest. "But Rodrigo," she whined, obviously uncomfortable with the idea. "Don't worry, I'll get you the tool. It would leave almost no trace,” he said. "Come to the pack house tomorrow,” he said and with that he terminated the line staring at the road ahead. He was barely twenty minutes from the pack and his heart was pounding so hard. He felt hot and sweaty and with the periodic side glances Thorne threw at him, Rodrigo knew it was very noticeable and it was all because of one girl HAZELWhat did I do wrong?Rodrigo tried to clean the sweat off his bod

    "You think it would work?" Serena asked, placing the bottle in her purse. "They would actually believe that?" She continued lifting her head to meet Rodrigo's gaze. "Of course, Ryland has enough reasons to end Adams, and he's been acting quite rash lately," Rodrigo said, stepping closer to Serena. She looked up at him trying to ignore how fast her heart was beating. "So would you help me?" Rodrigo asked, placing his fingers under her chin. Serena looked at him like a deer stuck in headlights, slowly nodding. "Good girl," he said, slamming his lips on hers. Serena froze for a moment surprised by his sudden action, but slowly she returned the kiss. He cupped the back of her neck deepening the kiss and she let out a small moan between her lips. Serena held onto his biceps, scared that her legs might give out. She savored every moment, his lips were warm against her and she could taste a little bit of mint. That always threw her off but somehow she wanted more.Rodrigo broke the kiss

    Serena sat in the car staring ahead, her body was there but her mind was far away. Her brain was occupied with so many thoughts and ideas—steps to the plan she was about to carry out. She needed to end Adams. But the problem was how she was going to do it without getting caught. According to Rodrigo, she just had to inject him with the liquid he had given her and he was going to die.That sounded easy but when she thought of all she had to go through before even getting to Adams she felt nothing but utter discouragement. "What do I do?" She mumbled to herself, tapping her fingers while staring out through the window. There were tons of securities and it would be even more difficult to get out than to enter.What if Ryland decided to come in while she was there. He'd never believe whatever she had to say. Serena let out a depressed sigh, earning a glance from the driver Rodrigo had assigned to take her back. She stared at the window for what felt like hours and soon the car stopped

    Serena turned to see a guard walking out away. She turned towards where he had just left confused. Could it be that Adam was being kept there? She headed towards the door and surprisingly it was opened. She looked back having a feeling that he might come back any minute since the door was left open. But she couldn't risk it. She was probably not going to get another chance. With that she stepped in and shut the door carefully behind her. The place was dark, too dark. So she placed her hands on the walls slowly going down the stairs. It seemed to go on and on and once she reached the bottom a light came on. She quickly moved out of it not wanting to draw any attention. The light went off and she made her way forward walking as quiet as possible. Getting closer, the smell of blood, both dried and fresh lingered in the air and it took everything in her not to throw up. The more she went in, the brighter it got and Serena could see the body covered with blood. Her tongue went dry w

    Ryland stood in front of his window staring outside, a glass of whisky in hand. Kael grew uncontrollable with each passing hour and Ryland found it harder to concentrate. Something felt off. He knew and was hundred percent sure, but he didn't know what. It had been two days since he and Hazel last spoke and she had not called since then. He played the last minutes of their call over and over in his mind but nothing felt off. But he was yet to receive a call from her. All sorts of scenarios played in his mind and they felt so real and he could barely sleep. Keal had been stirring in anger, making Ryland squeeze his eyes tight."Mate," it growled, threatening to lose control. Caleb pushed the door open walking in. Ryland turned, prying his eyes open, his eyes getting darker as he saw Caleb. "Don't you know how to knock?" He questioned, his temper rising. "As much as I would love to spar with you, I very much like to live so that would be a no to a fight with you," Caleb said, glanc

    Eleanor ignored the mess she had just made, running towards Hazel. "How are you? Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?" Eleanor asked, stumbling on her words. Hazel stared at her, her lips stretching into a smile. Memories of Eleanor defending her filled her mind and she felt her heart swell. "I'm fine, Hazel managed to say, her voice a little hoarse. "You sound thirsty, I should go get you some water," Eleanor said, turning away. "Where is Maria?" She asked turning back to face Hazel. Just then Maria walked in with a glass of water in hand. Her smile fell when she studied the floor in front of her. "What happened?" She asked, taking another way to avoid slipping. "Don't mind me," Eleanor replied, taking the water off Maria's palm. "Here drink up," Eleanor coed, holding Hazel up by supporting her back. "Feel better?" She questioned and Hazel nodded, trying to ignore the tears that threatened to fall again. "I'll go get the doctor. I think he needs to check some things," Maria

    Hazel stood in a house. She turned around, studying her surroundings. It looked like the mansion but it felt different. It looked foggy and everywhere was empty. "Hello?” she called out heading for the stairs. She took each step slowly, the creaking of the wood sending a chill down her spine. She stood in front of her room door. Taking in a deep breath, she slowly pushed the door and went in. The room looked organised and Hazel's brows knitted together in confusion. Something felt wrong. Oddly wrong. "Maybe the servants had gotten it back together," a voice answered her doubts, but she ignored it, stepping in. She placed her hand on the bed feeling the softness of the bed sheets. She stood facing the window lost in thought, just then a sound brought her out. It sounded like a baby crying. Hazel looked around, but she was the only one in her room. The crying stopped and Hazel shook her head walking away from the bed. "It was probably all in my head," she muttered, placing her h

    Hazel scrambled to her feet in shock. "Answer the question!" Rodrigo yelled, making her shake in fear. "What do you mean?" She asked, feigning confusion, but Rodrigo saw through it.His nostrils flared like a bull’s and Hazel's heart raced so fast that she wished she could just disappear."I have no idea what you're talking about," Hazel managed to yell, trying to stand her ground. Rodrigo gripped a fistful of her hair and dragged her closer to himself. She let out a scream clawing at his hand, but it was no use. "Why do you have that phone?!" He barked very close to her ear. Hazel squeezed her eyes shut, tears streaming down her face as pain spread like electricity through her skull.It was no surprise that somehow Rodrigo of all people had stumbled on her phone. But how?"You never said I couldn't own a phone," she choked out, a sob escaping with the words. "Yes, but you owned two," he yelled, his grip on her hair getting tighter. "I don't," she struggled to answer. It felt l

    Rodrigo ran a hand through his hair. He leaned on the wall taking deep breaths. "How could she talk to him like that," he growled out. Leo clawed on the inside wanting to be released but after much attempts, Rodrigo was able to control the animal and he headed for his office. He kicked the door open to see Thorne seated. Thorne turned to face Rodrigo cringing, "You look like sh*t. Wife problems?" He asked, a smirk on his face. "Shut up!" Rodrigo growled, earning a chuckle from Thorne. "C’mon tell me," he urged with a smile playing on his lips. "You don't need to know," Rodrigo said, taking his seat. "Fine," Thorne muttered, rolling his eyes. "I won't tell you what I found though," he said, bringing out a phone. Rodrigo's brows knitted in confusion. "What did you find?" he asked, his eyes flashing red. “You didn't tell me what the problem is so I don't have to say anything,” Thorne shot back. "I'm the Alpha, I don't answer to you," he growled at him, but Thorne sat down, his s

    Rodrigo flashed her a charming smile as he gestured for her to take a seat. "You're already eating," Hazel said, studying his movements. "I know. You complained about me not showing up for dinner so I made some changes to my schedule," he said, taking a slice of his steak. Hazel smiled, but it felt empty. She mentally scolded herself for ever saying such. A maid came in with her plate and she said a mini thank you, her eyes fixed on the plate in front of her. No doubt it would taste delicious, but she had no appetite with Rodrigo seated in front of her. "Aren't you going to eat?" He asked, taking a cup of wine. Hazel looked at him then at the food. Slowly she sliced the steak popping it in her mouth. The flavours exploded, but she only felt like throwing up. With Rodrigo still watching her every move, Hazel struggled to swallow. "So what was your day like?" He asked, glancing at his plate. "Nothing, I mostly slept today," Hazel answered in a bored tone. Silently hoping he would

    "What do you mean you have it ready? It's too early," Rodrigo asked, his voice a little skeptical. “Alpha, it's past ten in the morning,” Thorne responded, making Rodrigo leave his bed in a hurry.He pulled the curtain to the side, squinting when the sunlight hit him. "I'll be down in a few minutes. Get my schedule ready," Rodrigo said, ending the call. The next forty minutes he spent taking a shower, putting on a suit and styling his hair. Soon he went deeper down the stairs, his eyes locking with Thorne who stood in a navy blue suit with his hands behind his back. "Good morning, Alpha," he greeted, leaning in as a form of a slight bow. Rodrigo nodded, toying with his cufflinks. "Where is it?" He questioned Thorne, stretching his hand out. "Here," Thorne said, taking out a small box from his pocket. Rodrigo stared at it warily. He took in a breath, and collected the box. Pushing the lid over he stared at the jewelry, "What happened to the other one?" He sent Thorne a judging g

    Rodrigo took his seat and Thorne walked in almost immediately. "What the heck did I do now?" He muttered, locking eyes with Rodrigo. "Unfortunately you did nothing wrong," he responded, interlocking his fingers. "Unfortunately. What do you mean by that?" Thorne shot back, his face twisted in confusion. "I have a job for you," Rodrigo said, ignoring his words. "What is it?""I got the necklace back from her? I need you to put a listening device on it," Rodrigo answered, lifting the necklace up. The diamond shone in the dim light, but Thorne wasn't impressed. “It's very small. How am I supposed to put a device on it? Doesn't she also shower with it?" He asked, already exhausted from just the idea. "I didn't think about all these," Rodrigo said, running a hand through his hair. "I noticed," Thorne answered, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Drop that tone, and do what I asked of you. I don't care if you have to cut it, change the gem or how expensive such wires may be," he said,

    "I know you asked him to follow me, Why?" Hazel asked, her chest heavingRodrigo took a deep breath and Hazel rolled her eyes disgusted at his immaturity. "Hazel," he called in a calm voice, walking towards her. She glared at him, stretching her hand out. “Don't come any closer; answer my question," she glared again, not wanting to back down. "Why would you send your Beta to follow me?" She repeated, her voice echoing. Rodrigo pinched the bridge of his nose, and turned to the side, as if looking out for something."Common love, don't be like this," he said, a chuckle escaping his lips. "You don't trust me?" Hazel asked, enjoying the sight of him growing uncomfortable. "What did you expect? What did you hope to see?" She asked, stepping closer. Rodrigo looked away, his eyes stopping on the large bouquet of flowers. "Where did you get this?" He asked, finally happy that he had something over her. Hazel looked at the bouquet in her arms then back at him. "Seriously?" She asked, her
