HAZEL STYLES POV

I gasped awake, my eyes darting around the room wildly as I panted for air. Goosebumps traced my skin, and a cold chill ran down my spine.

"Riven" I called out, then clamped my mouth shut. "No, not him," I told myself, drawing in a shaky breath. My eyes slowly adjusted to the low lighting in the room, and after a few quiet seconds, I realized that the frightening images had all been a nightmare.

Trying to calm down, I raked my hand through my hair and sucked in a deep breath.

"It's not real. It's not real" I chanted to myself when someone touched my hand.

I flinched, hard, my heart almost beating out of my lungs.

"Hazel, it's just me, Lena" she got out, looking shocked at my reaction.

I clutched at my chest and glared at her. "You almost killed me. Why didn't you say anything sooner"

"Because you looked like you just woke up from a nightmare, and I didn't want to scare you," she explained, and I gave her a pointed look. "And it's my bad" she quickly added "I should

    HAZEL STYLES POV "I'm so happy you're awake Hazel. You have no idea what hell I've been through the past few days" he murmured against my hair, his arms squeezing me.Getting over my initial shock, I grabbed at the side of his shirt and pushed at his chest a bit so he'd let go, but he just held onto me tighter."Raphael," I called out, and he shook his head."Don't push me away Hazel... Please just let me hold you for a few more seconds," he begged, his voice muffled as he snuggled impossibly closer.I glanced at Lena, the shock on her face mirroring mine. Her jaw was literally on the floor as she stared at Raphael.Forcing myself not to freak out, I slowly reached up and then patted his back. "Alright then," I got out tentatively, my gaze darting from him to Lena, then back again. "Take your time... I guess," I said.My words seemed to make him happier. He let out a contented sigh, then dropped his weight against me, his hand rubbing over my back. I allowed myself to relax into his

    HAZEL STYLES POV"You belong to me, Hazel" he growled, his eyes burning into mine.My breath hitched, his words making my heart start up a frenzied rhythm in my chest.I swallowed and watched as his gaze dipped to my throat, following the movement.I clutched the sheet harder, my pulse quickening the longer his gaze lingered, then he looked up, his eyes dark and intense and stealing the breath right out of my lungs. The connection between us sparked like a live wire as he searched my face, his pupils dilating slightly the longer he looked at me, and then he leaned in even closer."You are mine Hazel, don't ever forget that"His words had my heart jumping, the intensity of his stare thickening the air between us with an unspoken tension that made it difficult to breathe.He turned away from me, and I let out a sharp breath, realizing that I'd been holding my breath the whole time."Leave," he ordered and my gaze jerked to those of Raphael, who was staring at him dazedly from the floor

    RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV A fire raged in my chest as I stared into her eyes. Our harsh breath mingled, the tension thick between us. Her eyes were wide with a mix of fear and anticipation, her body tense and trembling. I leaned in, my face just inches from hers. "Give in to me, little rabbit. You already know there's no escaping me" "And if I don't want to" she asked, looking up at me with a mixture of defiance and hunger in her eyes. Even though her refusal had my blood burning, I couldn't help but smirk as I saw the effect I was having on her. I leaned in even closer, my lips brushing against her cheek. "You think you can keep resisting me," I growled, my voice low and dangerous. "But you're wrong, Hazel. I've grown on you. You can't shake me off no matter how hard you try." She tried to pull away, her body struggling against my hold on her wrists. But I just held onto her tighter, my grip unyielding. "Struggle all you want, but you know you want me just as much as I want you." I

    LENA POVRaphael was pissed, and it showed even in the way he strode ahead of me, his back ramrod straight, his hands balled up so hard, I could see his knuckles glistening white.He suddenly stopped in his tracks and then turned to face me, forcing me to stop, too. "Was that guy telling the truth? He can't possibly be her boyfriend right... I mean, did you see how violent he was... Hazel will never date someone like that... She literally lived alone because she couldn't stand Julian, and you're telling me she's dating him... He's part of the bloody Mafia!"I let out a sigh and then shook my head. "I don't think he punched you hard enough if you're still asking all these questions, Raphael.""Lena" he hissed, his eyes narrowing.I threw my hand up in the air. "What do you want me to say, Raphael. Do you want me to feed your delusions and tell you that both of them are not together and that he's probably forcing her to be with him? Well, they are together. They love each other and wer

    HAZEL STYLES POV I woke up to a room filled with sweet scenting brightly colored flowers. Admiring the burst of color in the room, I shifted onto my side and froze as my eyes locked onto Riven's from the chair facing my bed. His lips curved into a smile, his gaze trained on me with an unnerving intensity that had my heart skipping a beat when he slowly pushed forward."Riven" I gasped, and he got up from the chair, the suddenness of it sending a jolt of electricity through my body and making my breath catch in my throat as he dropped his hand on either side of me and leaned in."Good morning beautiful. Did you sleep well?"His deep rumbly voice had my heart doing a flip in my chest.Color rushed up my cheeks and I glanced away from him as I blushed. "Yes," I whispered, dragging in air into my lungs before forcing myself to meet his gaze. "Did you?"He inched closer, one of his hands lifting to stroke my hair, and then he tucked a stray strand behind my ear, his touch light and gentl

    HAZEL STYLES POV What was Raphael doing here?He stood frozen, his eyes moving from mine to Riven's."Um, I didn't..." He stuttered, his eyes darting away from us to the wall.Groaning under my breath, I tried to get up, my hand pushing softly at Riven to get off of me, but his grip just tightened on my arms.My eyes moved to his, my brows arching as he continued to pin me down."Riven?" I whispered, blinking as his eyes darkened into an intense scowl that had my stomach flipping. Dear Lord, He looked so hot when he was pissed."Tell him to go away" he whispered, the warmth of his breath sending shivers down my spine.I shuddered In his arms, my breath catching in my throat. "I can't. He's already here. That would be rude"Riven's head dipped lower, his growl rumbling through my skin. "He is really tempting me to stick a knife in him, little rabbit" he whispered, his lips grazing the shell of my ear. "I don't know how much longer I can restrain myself" he breathed, his threat making

    LENA POV A FEW DAYS LATER.Riven and Hazel were already in the news as a couple, and as I stared at the picture that had been taken of them leaving the hospital, I couldn't help but smile.It was still so shocking that Hazel had said yes to Riven after the way she avoided him before all of this."The heart truly wants what it wants, doesn't it?" I muttered to myself, my eyes lingering on the ring Riven had gotten for her. It was so pretty; I wished I had one too. Hazel deserved all the love Riven showered on her because I knew just how much she'd suffered to get this far... I just hoped that from now on, all the bad energy would finally be replaced with only good onesSighing, I dropped the magazine on the table and then cupped my chin with my hand."When am I going to get my own prince charming, huh?" I asked, then sighed. "I want someone to be suffocatingly obsessed with me too."The alarm on my phone pinged and I glanced at it, my eyes widening."Oh damn, it's today" I got out an

    RIVEN BlACKWOOD POVI drove to a stop in front of the house and then glanced at Hazel as she stared at the building that stood before us, her eyes wide in awe.I grinned loving the reaction, knowing that it was real and not just play pretend.She turned to face me excitedly. "It's so beautiful," she got out then pressed her face to her palm, her voice soft and proud. "Do you make it a point to only buy the best houses on the market, Riven. Are you into real estate now".I smirked, my eyes fixed on her face, trying as much as I could to commit every detail to memory. "No," I answered, and she tilted her head, her brows dipping. "You're not?" She asked, genuinely curious.I nodded, my gaze dropping to the arch of my pale, smooth neck. My mouth watered as my gaze lingered. I wanted to sink my teeth into it. Tearing my eyes away, I met her gaze, my breath hitching at the hunger in her eyes. Did she notice me staring? Was she feeling the tension the same way I was? I licked over my lips

    EPILOGUE ETHAN BLACKWOOD POV I gasped awake, my breath coming out in harsh pants as my eyes darted around the room wildly. But I was all alone.I sucked in a sharp breath and then groaned as the pain hit me all at once, my chest constricting painfully despite my effort to relax.The feeling was awful. My body felt like it was on fire, and despite all the drugs that were pumped into my system every other hour, I couldn't even breathe without feeling like I was on the verge of death.It was a horrible existence. I spent every day writhing in agony, praying and wishing for the day it would all end.And as if that was not enough, I kept having nightmares every other night of Riven coming to finish the job. I knew Father said he already made a deal with him to spare my life, but I was still skeptical. It could all be a lie to make me let my guard now— I scoffed."Let my guard down? What the hell can I do even if he chooses to attack me now," I muttered to myself, laughing at how ridicul

    HAZEL STYLES POV I stared into the mirror, awed by the girl staring right back at me. Lena leaned over my shoulder, her gorgeous face shining as her lips stretched in a sweet smile."You look ethereal Hazel. I keep saying it, but Riven is totally going to be speechless when he sees you."I grinned, letting out a nervous breath. "He better be!" I said then met her gaze. "You also look really beautiful, Lena"She did a little twirl, then laughed. "I know girl!" "Like, look at all those curves—" A knock on the door interrupted me and we both glanced at it. "I'll go check," Lena offered, walked to the door, and pulled it open just enough to stick her head out. "Mr Blackwood," she gasped out and my eyes widened.I could hear him asking to talk to me alone. Lena glanced at me and I nodded.She stepped out as Mr Blackwood walked in, then gently closed the door behind her, leaving the both of us alone."Mr Blackwood?"He took off his cap. "Don't be so formal, Hazel, after all, we are beco

    RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "This was fun, right?" I asked, staring at her face as she basked in the sun, her skin glowing in the light.She grinned, her head turning in my direction. "After receiving gold bars from your Dad, I really don't have much to complain about."I chuckled, then tilted my face to the sun. We lay in comfortable silence, enjoying the sound of nature. It was serene. I glanced at her. Her eyes were closed, but I could see some crease on her forehead and I wondered if it was wise to bring her to the beach after what happened with Ethan. "Are you really okay, Hazel?" I asked, watching as her eyes blinked open, her gaze fixed on the crashing waves as she thought over my question. We've already talked through most of her trauma but I needed to make sure that she was truly fine. I had to know that I wasn't doing something that could jeopardize all the progress she'd made. I wanted to make sure I was her safe space just like she was mine. "You can tell me anything you kn

    HAZEL POV The curtain opened, and Lena gasped, her gaze darting to Eloise, her mom, who was equally staring at me in awe."Well," I asked, spreading my arm a bit. "What do you think?"Lena's mom got up, her eyes fixed on me almost reverently. "What do we think? You look absolutely stunning, dear. Wow, I am just speechless," she said and I grinned, the nervous energy slipping out of my body. This was the third dress I was trying on and they had all been good, but I liked this one best and was a bit worried that Eloise and Lena might disagree, but I shouldn't have bothered. I guess, just like me, they had a good eye."Really?" I asked, just to make sure."Don't just sit there, Lena. Doesn't she look absolutely stunning?" She asked, turning to face Lena. I also faced her.Lena looked like she was in a trance, her wide eyes locked in on the dress on my body; then she blinked, her hands flying over her open mouth, and then she literally screamed. I and Eloise jumped, a bit surprised beca

    RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "I told you not to kill him," Father got out gravely, his hands flexing against the window sill. Letting out a sigh, he turned to face me. "What are you going to do when Victor finds out that you murdered his son huh? Do you think you'll be able to take him out like you did to Metz?"I stared at him. From how passionate he had been the last time we spoke, I expected him to be more angry than he was right now. Not that I cared though.I scoffed, then raked my fingers through my hair. "I wasn't thinking of doing anything that drastic, Father. Don't be so paranoid." His shoulders tensed, his veins visible as he gritted his teeth. "This is not a joking matter, Riven!" He snapped, his hands balling up at his side. Yes, that was more like it. Nothing pleased me more than rilling up the old man.I straightened, my gaze holding his. "I never said it was, you're the one who keeps blowing this out of proportion." I let out a rough breath, then stuffed my hand into my pocke

    HAZEL STYLES POV The soft music filtering through the air pulled me out of the foggy dreamland I was in. My eyes blinked open, then I turned, the weight of Riven's arm on my hips making me smile.My face was leveled with his chest, and as I took in the smooth expanse of his skin, my pulse picked up, a wave of desire washing over me.I reached forward tentatively, my fingers caressing and tracing his muscles, loving the way he flexed even in his sleep."So beautiful," I whispered, then pressed my palm against his chest, the steady rhythm of his heart picking up as I flexed my hand.My gaze jerked up to see him watching me, the smoldering look in his eyes making my breath hitch."You're awake," I stuttered, my face flaming up as I remembered just how insane last night had been. I started to look away and gasped when his hand gripped my jaw, his russet brown eyes boring into mine."Keep your eyes on me, baby, you don't have to be shy when it's just us," he rumbled, his voice raspy.

    RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV I watched Ksar limp away, then turned to face Hazel."You shouldn't have taken that risk. I told you I was going to handle it," I got out, the rhythm of my heart still out of beat.Hazel stared at me from beneath her lashes. "I'm sorry," she muttered, then raised her head, her glazy eyes crashing with mine.It was disarming. My mouth dried and I swallowed, getting lost in them.It had driven me insane watching that filthy bastard touch her and put a gun to her head. For a split second, I'd almost put a bullet into his head when I had him in my range, but then Hazel had turned the tables in a move that stole the breath right out of my lungs.I had watched her through my scope, my heart pounding in my chest as she smashed his wrist and took the gun from him. She'd taken charge like the boss she was and I couldn't help but be proud of her even though the fear that it could have ended badly lingered like a bad taste in my mouth.Hazel stepped closer, her hands splayin

    HAZEL STYLES POV He leered as he approached me, the gun in his hand aimed straight at my face. "Look at those rage-filled eyes," he grinned, flicking the gun. "I can see the obsession Julian had with you now. No wonder he wanted to keep you at his side so bad even if it meant dying," he said, then paused, his eyes roaming over my face.My hands balled into fists, the urge to punch the smug look off his face overwhelming. "I should have killed you on that night fifteen years ago. You were like an itch under my skin that I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. But if there is one thing I've learned, it's that waiting and anticipating the thrill of a kill gives the same dopamine as the act itself. Also, I knew this day was going to come. I am very good at predicting things, you see."Tears of pure rage brimmed in my eyes, blurring my vision. "Fucking bastard! It isn't enough that you killed my mom and my dad—""Wrong," he shouted, cutting me off. He leaned in, his eyes boring

    HAZEL STYLES POV "Wow, you look really beautiful, Hazel," Lena said as I stepped out of the house.I smiled, rubbing my sweaty palm on the sides of my dress. "Thank you, Lena." My gaze dropped to the off-the-shoulder, beautiful, short black dress I had on. "But it's a bit on the shorter side huh?"Lena nodded. "I'm actually surprised Riven let you wear this?"I grinned, rolling my eyes. "He almost didn't. You should have seen him making a fuss about how it was going to make everyone stare at me" I huffed and she laughed "You couples won't take it easy on us singles, will you?" She tsked, then pouted. "I feel so jealous."I grabbed her arm, jerking her close. "Don't be. I'm sure you're going to find your prince charming very soon.""Ugh, please, I am done searching for a prince charming. I'll take a paid vacation instead," she said, and I laughed, then let go of her. "Come on let's go, or the restaurants gonna be close before we get there."I nodded, my gaze darting to those of Riven
