Hazel's POV

Sweat broke on my forehead as I paced all over the little room, my mind disturbed.

It seemed like forever before I finally heard a delicate knock on my door. I immediately shot towards the door and Marianna beckoned me quietly, holding a little candle in her right hand.

The house was grave quiet, I tried as much as I could to walk softly behind her. We got down to the waste burning pit where Marianna disposed of my torn garments and necklace.

"We must be fast," she murmured, looking carefully behind her. "If anybody catches us here… "

"I know, I'll try to be fast" I mumbled, lifting up my long dress with my hands so that I can walk quicker.

The place was dark and the air was thick with the smell of ashes.

"Start searching for it now, be quick," she whispered sharply, when we arrived there.

Dropping down on my hands and knees, I filtered through the heap of trash carefully. Then I saw it, my torn dress lay close to the top, I turned it over, tensely looking for the locket.

    Xavier's POV I watched as Kael dragged her away. I clenched my fist trying to control myself as her delicious scents filled the air. The candlelight had highlighted her slim figure underneath the nightwear that she had on.When her silver white hair had fallen across her face, I wanted to reach out and --"Control yourself" I growled to myself, resisting my wolf's urges. I hadn't ordered the curfew for nothing. I had gotten information from my most trusted source that a spy was in our midst. I had planned a patrol with Kael to catch the culprit and here she was--the daughter of traitors lurking around in the midnight, holding her parents' locket. I flipped open the locket again and turned it over. It looks old and rusty, except for the pictures of the traitors looking back at me, it seems like an ordinary locket but something tells me otherwise. "Should I ask Kael to post extra guards outside her room?" Beta Marcus said as he emerged out of the shadows. "That won't be necessary.

    Hazel's POV I find it hard to sleep, the fear of Alpha Xavier's threat gripped me as I turned it over and over in my mind. My mind swirled with fear and uncertainty of what he plans to do with me tomorrow.Is he going to throw me back into the dungeon? Or is he finally going to execute me? Wild thoughts came popping into my mind, thoughts that made me shiver with fear.What about Marianna?I hope I hadn't gotten her into trouble. She has only been good to me. I wouldn't want her to suffer because of me. I couldn't rest, my mind was troubled with wild imaginations of what might happen. It was already dawn before I finally dozed off. After what seemed like an hour, a faint knock on the door jolted me awake. It's morning already. I yawned as I stretched my sore body. Still feeling sleepy due to lack of enough sleep, I called out, still yawning "Come in."I couldn't wait to see Marianna after what happened last night. My heart beats with anticipation as the door opens. But instead of

    Xavier's POV The silence in my study felt unnatural, squeezing against me as I replayed the event of the night in my mind. The rogue wolf's intrusion into my territory was definitely not a coincidence. It had been too determined, his movement was too exact. He hadn't intruded into my territory by some coincidence — somebody had sent him. But why? And most importantly who?I sat in my study, leaning back on my seat as I thought about it, trying to make sense of it. The weak fragrance of debris blood still lingered on the air, an indication of the intruder's short presence and the battle that followed. My wolf stirred restlessly inside me, my senses at its peak. My gaze tumbled to the silver locket lying on the desk before me. It looked like an ordinary locket, however I wasn't tricked. I'd taken it from Hazel last night before the intrusion. She had grasped it firmly, as though it were her life, and the look in her eyes when I'd pulled it from her hold still haunted me. That wasn't s

    Hazel's POV The atmosphere in the kitchen was choking as I worked hour after hour under Bianca's relentless supervision. The air was stuffy with steam and the sharp smell of soap. My hands stung from the soapy water. Bianca never missed a second to sneer, to scoff, and to put me in my place. "You're too sluggish, Hazel," she snapped. "Do you think Alpha Xavier will save you? Continue to dream."I didn't answer, I just kept doing the work she gave me. Answering her would just stir up her anger, and right at this point, I'm too exhausted to even consider fighting back. Instead, I kept my head down, scrubbing the pot I had been dealing with for what felt like hours.But, the others weren't so quiet. I could hear them as they mocked me. "She believes she's special now that she's mated to the Alpha," one of the servants said, raising her voice loud enough for me to hear."Special?" another one jeered."She's only a stain on his name. A traitor's daughter and a murderer. Nobody will ever

    Xavier's POVI had called this meeting to discuss the rogue wolf I had caught and killed last night. It was an invasion into our territory that hadn't happened in a long time. I sat at my usual seat listening to my official's view about yesterday's outbreak but my focus was broken. My wolf had been restless since morning, pacing inside me, sensing something was off.Then I caught her scent— her soft and sweet scent. Hazel. My mate.I felt a sense of uneasiness sweeps through me. She's not supposed to be here. I could feel her distress as she opened the door and walked into the hall with her legs trembling. She bowed her head, causing her silver-white hair to fall over her pale face as if she were hiding her face. She carried a tray of wine glasses in her hands, her hands trembling slightly. I felt a pang of anger. She is not supposed to be working as a servant, she's my mate.This morning, I had ordered Marianna to be sent to the south pack house for disobeying my orders about the

    Hazel's POVI sat at the edge of my bed unable to get over what happened today. The morning had started with Bianca ordering me around and treating me like a servant and then insisting that I serve at the Elder's meeting. It was a nightmare. I remembered how the elders attacked me with their accusations.I sighed in exhaustion, and lay on the bed, everything that happened today had really exhausted me— Elder Albert's accusations, the official's critical stares, Xavier's sudden defense of me. But why does he always defend me as if he possesses me even though he is cold towards me. A soft knock startled me. The door opened and he entered the room. "Hazel," his voice deep. "We have to talk."Alpha Xavier.I quickly got up from the bed, pulling my sheets up my chin to cover my transparent night gown. I was too shocked to see him here in my room. His presence filled the entrance, his broad shoulders shutting out the faint light coming in from the corridor. His grey eyes were scrutinizing

Or is it Bianca? I remembered the spiteful way she had treated me yesterday. But why would she send a letter when she could threaten me face to face. Who could it be? I thought back on the locket, how it glowed when Alpha Xavier held it out to me. I have always thought of it as a trinket that holds the memory of my parents, nothing more.

    Xavier’s POV The delicate feel of her lips, how her warmth saturated deep inside me — it seemed as if my whole existence had been set ablaze. I had not planned to kiss her but I had to shut her mouth when she was boasting about me not marking her. The thought of her talking and smiling at Ethan still burns me with rage. She belongs to me. It wasn't just about the possessiveness that flooded through me. No, it was something more, it was deeper. I have never felt this way about anybody, not even when I had been with Zaria. Yet, with Hazel, it was unique.Her sweet scent filled my nostrils. My wolf stirred inside me, tearing to the surface, driven by the need to completely claim her. But then it happened.I felt her body strain — a rush of energy that wasn't hers flowed through her veins into mine and burned against me.

    Hazel's POV I stood at the door entrance trying to summon the courage to knock on the door. My heart was beating fast and sweat broke in my face. Even though he had not summoned me, I still have to find answers to the questions raging in my mind. I need to know if the intruder broke in because of my locket, is it also related to the threat letter I received last night? I took a deep breath and clenched my fist to knock on the oak wooden door but before I could knock, his voice stopped me short.“Come in Hazel, I can hear you hesitating” his voice broke through from inside the office. Of course, he could sense me with his heightened Alpha senses. I pushed open the door silently and slowly entered the dimly lit office. He stood facing the window with his back towards me, his hands in his pants pocket and he looked as if he's staring into the crescent moon ahead. I looked around the big office, taking in its opulence. The huge wooden bookshelves stood at the left against the wall. My

    Hazel’s POVBack in my room. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I closed my eyes, my fingers tracing where his lips had claimed mine. I could still feel my lips tingle where he had kissed me as if his kiss had left a permanent imprint on my lips. His fierce and possessive kiss was unlike anything that I had ever experienced.'You belong to me' his words still rang in my ears.My cheeks burned as I remembered how I had responded to his kiss. I had wanted to resist him, to pull away but my treacherous body betrayed me and melted into his embrace, surrendering to his electrifying touch. But the shocked look on his eyes afterwards made me wonder if he had regretted touching me. He looked as if he saw something strange and unexpected.Why had he kissed me in the first place? I don't even know if that kiss meant anything to him. Did he do it just because he was jealous when I was chatting with Ethan? Or has he really accepted me as his mate?I still don't know where I stand. I know that
