Cooking for youRubbing your back while you read,Waiting for you on the porch till you come homeTaking your hand while you driveLighting all the candles before you come homeStaying up late to watch you sleepObserving all the detailsDid you hear my “I love you”?Sending me flowers whenever you think of mePlanning our first vacation together, the place I likeAsking hundreds of questions about meEngaging in long, deep talks that soothes meMaking more time for me than yourselfShowing me your weird comfortable sideYes I heard your “I love you”The way you wrap your arms around meThe way you look at me and smile at meAnd I get lost in your pool of emeraldsThe way you look for me first in the crowdAnd the way I wait for youWe found each otherAnd we fit perfectCHAPTER ONEThe wind blew my hair in all places and I felt like the main character.The drive to Magnolia Springs in Alabama was just as I expected.It was a time to reminisce and replay some of the happy memories I had left before everything came crashing down.I took an intake of breathe. My heart felt relaxed for once.I was going back home.Where I was told I belonged.I had to, it was the final bus stop for me.I had gathered the heavy stuff I couldn’t move and did a yard sale so I had enough cash to keep me going for the next months till I get a new job.With all of the things I owned and some of my parents stuff crammed into the back seat and hood of my car I knew there’s was no coming back for me.The Woman I talked to a week ago before coming, Megan Kingston she said was her name. Sounded so nice and remembered my parents well when I brought them up.I had told her I was coming back to my parents home, the one they had before they decided to move to the big city, I was coming back to stay.Megan sounded excited to have me and had to call me yesterday night to make sure I hadn’t changed my mind about coming.Thanks to my Mum’s Journal I had the address and some of the happy memories she had written down when she moved to stay with my dad in Alabama, I had them to hold with me.With both dead parents, a college degree in arts, a bleak love life and being unemployed I wanted to be far away from the city as much as possible, away from the place I came back home to see my parents murdered in cold blood.Sighing when I saw the sign post that read “Welcome to Magnolia Springs” I slowed down to check my map.The g****e Map on my phone ended at that particular sign and now I had to ask for directions to my parents house.I stopped my car to a crawl, looking at the wide yards and houses around.Driving really slow now in hopes of meeting someone, my faith worked out for me.I saw a truck parked at the side of a farm, the bonnet was opened and a figure turned out to be working on it.I pulled over slowly next to him and the figure peeked out from the hood of the car blocking him from the sun.It was a he and he was shirtless.“Hello, Good noon I’m new around, pls do you know the directions to the Coleman’s House?” I asked with a slightly loud voice hoping he’d hear me.“Uh yeah, it’s right after the church, you go straight up and take the first two left turns.“Alright, Thank you”I had my foot on the pedal ready to follow the directions before he stopped me.“Hazel Coleman?”He knew me !????Should I be alarmed?“Who’s asking?”He walked closer to my passenger window and crouched, squinting from the sun and tying to get a good look at me.Man he was jacked, felt like he was flaunting it.“Tristan Harris” he said and stretched his hand for a handshake.“Megan told us about your coming, she’s been eagerly waiting for you”He knew Megan, I started to relax“Okay… Hey Tristan”I knew I was a genetic build of the werewolf creatures and a human, and I knew when I decided to move over to this area, I was venturing into a pack of werewolves I knew nothing about.And I knew I stood talking to a fine looking werewolf at that moment.My parents never told me about them and never had the “perfect time “ to ever tell me about their origins. I had to read about them and I had little to no knowledge about them except the information the internet provided.Hell, I didn’t even know if I was one. I had not felt any mate pull or had any reaction to consider I was shifting.Now I was having a conversation with this sweet looking hunk of a man and he looked to good to be considered anything less of an Alpha.If he turned out be then I guessed I ventured into clear waters.“So I was working on my trunk and I was rounding up before you came along and if you wouldn’t mind I’d love to show you the way to where you’re headed, you know make it easier for you”.Okay, I ventured into clear waters“That’d be helpful, thank you”He gave me a small smile and headed back for his truck. He was handsome.The drive to my parents house wasn’t as long as I expected and we got there in about 10 minutes.With Tristan’s truck at the front we both pulled up to the driveway of the house almost at the same time.We both came out of our respective vehicles at the same time and stood back to inspect the place.It was a Small Manor house. With evergreen trees standing tall, I could also hear a lake flowing from somewhere behind the trees, but the house looked abandoned.It looked like the house I would always tell my mum I wanted to live in. It looked liked peace.I had no idea why they had to leave here. Now I have to live the rest of my life looking for answers and waking up in cold sweats some night because of the last image I had of them.I walked towards the entrance and Tristan followed behind. The place looked like it had too much dust and things I would want to avoid looking at or touching.“I hate to break it to you…” Tristan’s voice brought me out of my reverie and I turned to face him.“It’s what we use as a store house now, we tried moving the things inside over the weekend but everyone was so busy we couldn’t finish it on time before your arrival”“Hmmm” I replied not knowing what to sayUgh! This wasn’t what I had in mind. I just had to settle for a hotel this night before working on the house tomorrow. I have big plans for the designing of this place, all my paintings would come to life here.I was going to check out the place tomorrow but for now I had to rest my head and plan for tomorrow“Are there any hotels around”? I asked“Actually Megan planned on you staying at the pack house on tonight and by tomorrow we’ll get our men to work the house for you”These people were thoughtful, I really needed to rest my head. It was past 4 in the evening.“Oh, that’s nice. it’s high time I meet her anyways” I said lowly looking round the compound. My designs for the area and the house arranged themselves in my head.“You’re not much of a talker are you?” Tristan was looking pointedly at me.In the few minutes we’d spent together he was beginning to notice how my talks were little and monosyllabic.I smiled a little “I tend to keep to myself most times”He nodded and motioned towards our cars “Hmm, alright… after you Miss”Alabama sun was something else and I stared to pack my long curly hair that I had let down all day into a bun as I headed to my car. I wanted fresh air for my neck .When I got to my car and opened the door, I saw Tristan staring at me from behind as he headed for his truck.When he saw I had caught him staring he turned away and entered his truck.I also wanted to pay no attention to him, It’s best he has no ideas up his head, I wasn’t ready for any of that.The drive to the pack house was even shorter.This rich looking community seemed rather quiet. I’m guessing everyone were off to doing what they do by that time.The driveway to the house brought the house in view. It was big, rather big, another Manor.The pack house was a big Manor. Worthy to be called a pack house because of the size and the intricate designs.Twice the size of my parents manor.“Welcome to the Kingston’s house, a.k.a the pack house” Tristan said as we both shut the door to our vehicles and headed for the porch.I marveled at the building, it looked like something out of a novel. The stone work, the trees and the fountains, it looked like old money, it smelt of riches.Tristan headed inside and I followed behind hot on his heels.We went inside the receiving parlor and it was much more than what I had seen outside. The mixture of modern souvenirs and ancient artifacts gave the room a whole exquisite vibe, This was art.The arrangements of the room and the design on the high ceiling brought a smile to my face and probably left my mouth hanging open.“Hazel this is Alpha Caine Kingston” Tristan’s voice broke my admiration of the house. He had done that enough in the last few minutes I had known him - bringing me out of my thoughts.I stopped my marveling immediately and my head whipped to who Tristan was talking about.There in the corner of the receiving parlor he stood watching me. I felt a pang of shame this new man had seen me with my mouth open looking at his house that way.He walked towards us and i stopped the worship of the manor to marvel at him. This was definitely the Alpha of the pack. His stance and walk screamed superiority.As he walked towards us my eyes glued unto him, I felt my body tingle. I had no idea what was happening to me. I was flustered.When he got close enough I came close to his green pools of eyes that looked at me like he was looking at my soul, his rosy lips that looked so soft, a sharp pointed nose and a chiseled jaw line and his small stubble made him look like a Greek god.His neck length hair packed in a little bun behind his head and strands falling out of place made him look even better.His build, his arms, I knew I would gladly run into them. This man was built to protect. I wanted him to protect me, what exactly he was protecting me against, I had no idea.“Caine, this is Hazel Coleman” I felt giddy on the inside“Hmm, The rouge” the voice was as I expected but his words were not.Every excitement I had stopped abruptly“Excuse you??” My eyes widened.He walked so intimidatingly towards me and when he stood in front of me, he whispered to me “I hope you know you’re not welcomed here”I was too stunned to speakI could only stare at him, the whole worship I had of him a while ago in my head slowly vanished.He held my stare and looked at me blankly.“Caine!” An elderly man had come into the scene and he looked like an older version of Caine. He seemed to have heard what Caine told me and chided him.Caine didn’t turn back, but he side stepped me and went for a handshake with Tristan who stood witnessing what was happening.“I’m heading out dad, gotta work on those new pipes”This was in-fact the Elder Kingston.Caine wasted no time heading out for his truck.“Come back home early for dinner honey” A woman’s voice called from upstairs and it echoed in the parlor.“Tristan, you coming?” Caine called from outside.Tristan who didn’t follow him when he went outside stood watching me.Tristan looked at me one last time and gave me a small smile before heading outside with to meet Caine in his truck.It was like they were all used to this unhappy human named Caine living amongst them and they had no other choice but to tolerate him.“Thank you Tristan” the woman called out to a retreating Tristan for bringing me to the house.“Anytime Megan”Then the Woman came down the stairs.She looked stunning in her ruffled floral gown and Chanel heels, and her green eyes illuminated under the light, I could see where Caine got his. This woman looked no older that 40.I instantly wanted to be like her when I grew older, she was gorgeous.“Hazel, darling how was the trip I’ve been waiting forever for you” She walked up to me, arms opened for hug.“It was fine, thank you” finally able to speak,I fell into her embrace, she felt warm. I missed my mum.“I’m sorry about that” The man pointed at Caine’s truck outside. “He usually has his pants up in a knot when he meets new people”“David Kingston” the elder Kingston gave his outstretched hand out. With a buzz cut full of grey hair, I instantly knew why Megan was with this man. He looked like a middle aged version of Channing Tatum.“Hazel Coleman” I took his hand, it felt like my dad’s. Warm and big.“I know enough about you already from my wife who hasn’t met you before, she could even write a biography about you. She’s been on your arrival all week”“Stop it David you don’t have to put me like that” she laughed and playfully hit him on the shoulder.They had that same playfulness my parents had.“Come honey, since you’d be spending time with us for the next few days, let’s show you round the house and get you settled in”“I’ll go get your bags” David offered and Megan steered me towards the stairs.I was too tired to protest, they had everything figured out.She took my hand and walked with me while David headed outside for my bags.Walking further inside the house I took one final look from the window at Caine’s now retreating truck pulling from the driveway with Tristan’s behind his, and the last minute replayed in my head.The realization that I came to live with Primordial Lycans who I wasn’t sure one of them wanted me here hit me one last time, now I wasn’t too sure I ventured into clear waters.A Year LaterHazel's POVI hissed as I saw the stain on my dress. Caine said it would come off easily, but it did not.It was from a night out of booze and steamy sex. I don't even remember what happened after.Tonight the house was full since almost everyone was around for dinner today and while Megan took care of dessert, I went to check the clothes in the dryer and found out that the stain on my gown was still there, gloriously showing itself on the fabric.I decided to wash it again but this time with another detergent and a little bit of bleach to see if it would do the work.Finishing what I was doing, I straightened to go back to the table but stopped in my tracks. There were some murmurs and whispers along with what I would label as moans.Walking as softly as I could, I looked behind the detergent shelf and came across these notorious two, smooching and kissing their way into oblivion.I tried to stifle a laugh and get a hold of myself before saying:“There are kids in the h
“Hello” I said into the darkness.I got no reply. She was there, but she was not replying to me, so I looked around for the switch."Turn that shit off." She complained and pulled the blanket over her head as the light came on."That won't happen" I said, and slowly, she dropped the blanket from her face and sat up, eyes trained on me.The girl looked very young, like a teenager. With long brown hair and big eyes that looked like they were staring into your soul, her face was littered with tiny freckles and her small mouth stayed in a permanent pout.She was pretty.“I don’t want to talk to any queen bitch today. I just want to leave” she said in a very rude manner.I was taken aback by her words. They told me she was hot headed I didn't expect her to be so straightforward with it.“To?” I ask with a tilt of my head.“Anywhere but here!” She yelled.“But you trespassed our land and that's why you're here" I said.“Then let me go. I know nothing, and I’m not related to any hunters”, she
Five years later“Stop running around Lucien, you’ll fall.” I told my son as he ran outside the house to the backyard."Nara, come put on your shoes. It's hot outside". She was running after her brother.They both ran back into the house and their heavy giggles filled the air.Soon after, I heard the front door open."Daddy!" I heard Lucien scream happily and Caine's grunt as he picked up his son."How's my big boy doing?" He asked Lucien."Strong. Mummy is making muffins", Lucien informed him."Is she? I'm sure they'll taste good". Their voices got closer."Hey baby. How are you doing?" Caine came over and kissed me."You left early this morning. What's up?" I asked him as I brought out the cookies from the oven and set them down close to the muffins."I went for a run and had to stop by a work site in town" he said."How's the progress?" I asked."It's good, we'll be finished by next week" Caine said, and picked up a cookie."Thats hot. Did you get the cheese? We're running out of i
HAZEL's POVA soft knock on the door took my attention away from the show I was watching.“Hey honey, I brought you soup” Caine said as he entered the room with a beanie covering the bandage on his head.He pulled the table closer and set the plate on it. I looked at him without saying anything.“My mum said it'd help with the grogginess” he said."How is she?" I had not seen her since I saw her breakdown after hearing she had lost Dustin.She had cried and wailed and could only be comforted by her husband, who was also in grief."Uh... she's getting by. We're all trying to come to terms with what happened," he said."Sorry about what happened" I said.He nodded and looked away. "It was bound to happen at one point. Either by me or someone else, he had stepped on a lot of toes," he said."It was nice you were by his side when he died." I comforted him."Yeah, he didn't go alone" he said lowly.We fell into silence for a while.“Thank you” I said suddenly.His head turned to me with a
Caleb stood behind Caine as he tended to me. Caine paid no attention to him.“What a superhero," he mocked "Ah the messiah!, would you like a robe?" he added.He stood for a while and after Caine did not answer him, I heard him groan in annoyance."Hello, Brother. How do you like your present? I had her specially arranged for you like that, but in a way that I would like", he said. "Caleb. You really outdid yourself this time by going after her and I hope you're prepared for the consequences," Caine said, almost too calm. I could not understand him."Oh yes, I did it in the best way possible. Where I knew you would go crazy. And Bonnie really did a good job. God, I love that woman" he exclaimed.Caine's brow furrowed with confusion. I knew he was wondering who Bonnie was.Gently, Caine stood up and hefted me into his arms."We're going home baby" he said as I laid limp in his arms, slowly wondering how he was going to get past Caleb."Not so quick, brother, we have a lot to talk about
I had woken up a while ago in a cabin in the woods.It was late in the evening and everywhere was becoming dark. From the small window that was open I could see trees outside. It felt like I was back in the pack.I was hungry and tired, and I was tied to a chair without basic necessities.My stomach rumbled, and I wondered if it was from the fear I was feeling or my babies' discomfort or them sensing how afraid I was or hunger.The state I was in was making me go crazy.I needed Caine. If I had not blocked him from the mind link we had, maybe he would be looking for me now.Was he looking for me?Has he finally gotten over me or was he happy I left?For the sake of his babies, wouldn't he be worried?My head dropped with a sigh as I watched these two maniacs decide what to do to me and my babies.Maybe it was time to say my last prayers. I would die without seeing my babies."He's going to come", Caleb said, and caressed Tatiana's face."He's taking too much time", She said, and I agr
I woke up sharply to the sound of soft knocks on the door.My heart beat loudly as I looked around in alarm and remembered I was in a motel room after leaving my husband and the pack.I was so tired and stressed that immediately my head touched the pillow, I snoozed.I remembered Betty saying she was going to bring me some cinnamon, and after I ordered the food I slept off almost immediately.Now I was awake and the knock continued.I groggily looked around for my phone and found out that I had slept for two hours.And suddenly I looked around to notice my bag was still not here and Betty had not awoken me up earlier.Maybe she found out I was asleep and decided to let me sleep. My due date was next month, and I was supposed to be getting every rest I could get.The knock came again, and my attention went back to the door."Betty?" I called out.At first there was no reply and my heart rate started to spike."Betty? Is that you?" I asked again and there was silence.In fear, I picked
My tears ran freely as I sat alone with my thoughts.Sleep had evaded me for the past hours, everything kept replaying in my head.Have I been conned into this marriage with Caine ?How did I not see all these telling signs?How did I blatantly believe all he said?Did I really love him?Would I ever be able to forgive him or erase what his family had done to me?Why was my fate this way?The questions kept pouring in.The way nature worked was cruel, the one man I found peace in was the one to shatter my heart the hardest.He was involved in a horrible life-changing experience that happened to me.Cruel life.I smiled as all our sweet memories came flowing back.I love him, but why would he lie to me?Why would he try to cover up his brother's evil doings, in the hopes that I was better off not knowing?He knew the details behind my parents' death? Why did he not tell me or help me when I needed it?Why did he keep it a secret?He knew it was going to happen. Why didn’t he stop it?E
“The pack house was not where you first met me” I said to myself."You knew me way before, and you knew what was coming" I said again.“You didn’t meet me when I first came here” the realization hit me again, "and the guilt you felt for what happened made you despise me and, wanted to keep me out of the pack". The truth was dawning on me and my heart was beating twice as much.His silence confirmed everything I needed to know."You knew Caleb killed my parents, but you said nothing, you were there to talk to my parents that day, and you did nothing to help, you did not even try to stop Caleb from snuffing life out of them. Because he was your brother?" I looked at him, for him to deny this and tell me he had no idea about this and tried to stop his brother.Caine said nothing and I felt more infuriated and irritated."I thought he was coming for you" he said, and I shook my head. That was not an excuse.“When was the first day?” I squared my shoulders and raised my head.I met his ey
