At the Coffee ShopThe aroma coming from the counter immediately tickled their nose. The strong flavor of the coffee welcomed them. The noisy atmosphere gave them the reality of the busy people walking in and out from the shop. The line in the counter is not that long, giving them a chance to step in quickly.This is the nearest coffee shop from the university and this place also serves as their relaxing spot if they want to release some stress from studying. Now that Hazel is going to leave this university, she started to reminisce about the first time going here.She thought at first that this shop is expensive because it looks classy. Adeline was the one who asked her to come and sit with her inside this coffee shop. Her friend has also treated her a couple of times already. They both have the same taste they like when it comes to coffee. This is why they became this close, treating and caring for each other like sisters. For Hazel, she is lucky enough to have Adeline as her trust
The noise coming from the inside already reached her ears. She can tell that this place is already crowded. Since she is saying goodbye and this is her last day to bond with Adeline, Hazel agreed to come with her friend.Adeline told her that there is a small gathering party arranged by their school clubs. It was a walking distance from the university. Since Hazel trusts herself and her alcohol tolerance, she did not hesitate to join them. Besides, she got busy focusing on Theo these weeks marking her completed first month of work. This is her time to unwind herself a little and to shake off her problems. She got tired from walking from one professor to another professor earlier. The university is big too, so walking back and forth up and down the buildings exhausted her.Adeline held her hand and accompanied her to a table with eight students, who looked familiar to her. “We are here!” Adeline announced their entrance, making her voice louder than the music playing in the backgroun
The tall chandeliers in the hallways gave a sparkling effect though the tiled floors. The hotel crews and assistant immediately assisted the visitors. All of them smiled at the Alpha’s family. However, as soon as they headed inside the private dining room they reserved, the atmosphere quickly changed. Expensive foods and drinks, especially wine were already served.All of them sat down and the conversation was started by the true leader. The Alpha and the leader of the family.“As I mentioned earlier, our business is getting more sponsors and exposure all over the world. This will push people to know more about our personal life. Including the family we have and the structure of our bloodline.” His slanted eyes looked at his son who had the same features as his.A bitter taste from his lips was left in that glass. He did not like the wine. He has not been in a good mood since earlier. He did not want any gap, especially if the people would find it a way to break his family’s reputati
Minutes before… Those two men woke her up, while Adeline was already snoring next to her. Hazel was mesmerized as soon as she saw those blinding lights coming from the chandelier hanging in the middle of the expensive ceiling. She was trying to get back from the sleepiness inside the car. Now that she is fully awake, the alcohol inside her body is also circulating through her blood. She feels a little drowsy and dizzy. This led her to grab the man standing next to her. “Miss Hazel, are you alright?” The man asked. Hazel stood straight and nodded her head. “Yeah, I just need to go to the bathroom.” she mumbled. Although her voice was barely audible, the man standing next to her quickly signaled his hand to ask the receptionist about the bathroom. He went back to Hazel and asked again. “Can you go there yourself, Miss?” The lady nodded her head and then scanned her surroundings to look for her friend. They are sitting in the lobby and even though she is wearing jeans and a shirt,
“What is he going to do?”“Is he angry at me?”“Is he going to slap me or something?”“Why did he tilt my chin up?” “Is he going to kiss me?!”These questions popped inside her mind. Her heart started to palpitate faster than someone who takes coffee as water everyday. She had no experience with romance and being this close to a guy is her first time.Hazel closed her eyes shut. If the Alpha wanted to kiss her, she did not want him to see her face. Axel might laugh at her or mocked her for being noob. She was not ready for a kiss either.The Alpha saw her close her eyes. Her cheeks being held together looks like a pufferfish to him. He found it cute and wanted to tease him. But then he remembered that there are a lot of roaming Alphas here and this place is not safe for Hazel.Axel untuckled the buttons of his black coat. He loosened his necktie and took off his black coat. He gently wrapped it around the lady’s head, covering her face then he swiftly lifted her up like a princess in
Her body bounced on the soft mattress. Hazel fell silent for a minute. She thought about all of the embarrassing things she already did today.When she stepped out of the bathroom, the carpet was already cleaned and the Alpha already left too. Axel did not take the black card his men gave to her. It remained inside her mini shoulder bag. Now that she was thinking about it. Axel is kind. Even though he has this intimidating aura around him as an Alpha, he cares for the people around him.That thought made Hazel remember what the man said earlier. He is only concerned about Hazel because she is Theo’s nanny and she is working under him.There is no other reason why Axel is concerned about Hazel.“Why does he have to say that? I'm not expecting him to say anything.” Her lips pouted as she rolled onto the other side of the bed. Her hands grabbed a soft pillow and hugged it tight.She was about to close her eyes when suddenly her stomach rumbled. All of the food she ate earlier was alrea
The next day, as soon as Theo saw Hazel, he immediately rushed to her and gave her a warm hug. The child was overjoyed to see his Mama back. Henry also welcomed the lady back and asked her if she needed something else. Hazel did not bother them anymore. After taking a bath, Theo insisted on knowing the reason behind Hazel’s not going home details last night. The child sat next to her on the bed while both of them were watching and enjoying Theo’s favorite show. “Is Mama alright now? Do you want me to take care of you?”The child asked, showing the worried expression through his eyes.Hazel ruffled his hair. “Don’t worry about me. Mama is already fine.” She said, smiling sweetly to the child.She looked Theo in the eyes and asked. “How about you tell me about your lesson yesterday with Mr Mike?”The child did not speak and jumped from the bed. He walked towards his cabinet and then opened the first drawer on the right. He pulled out a paper and then went back to the lady. Hazel helped
"\"The next day, Axel was lounging in the living room of his spacious mansion, sipping on a cup of coffee as he flipped through the morning newspaper. His son, Theo, was still asleep upstairs, exhausted from a late night of studying. Axel was a nonchalant alpha, a powerful figure in the supernatural community who commanded respect without even trying.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAs he sat there, lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring. Hazel, Theo's nanny, opened the door and entered the room with a warm smile on her face. Hazel was a petite woman with a kind heart and a gentle demeanor. She had been taking care of Theo since he was a baby and had become like family to Axel.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\\\"Good morning, Hazel,\\\" Axel greeted her "Good morning, Mr. Axel," Hazel replied, her eyes bright with enthusiasm.Axel gestured for her to sit down at the dining table and poured her a cup of coffee. "Join me for breakfast, Hazel. I was just about to have some panca
