All Chapters of Hazel's Awakening: The Lycan's Heartbeat: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Hazel’s POV We got back to the palace that night as I got to my room and fell on my bed. I was happy to be home. Lily entered the room and looked around in marvel. She was shocked that I was having a large room as big as this as she folded her arms. “Who are you to the alpha?” She asked as I shrugged. “A guest I guess,” I smiled. “Wait, you’re trying to tell me that the alpha gave you this large room that is on the Same floor as his just for being his guest?” I shrugged. “I guess so.” But she shook her head. “Nah. You have to be doing something extra. Are you sleeping with the alpha?” I was shocked. “Are you fucking kidding me? Keep your voice down so no one will hear you.” “So you are really sleeping with the alpha. I should have known.” But I growled at her. “It’s not how it works. Just stop it. I just got in here and he was kind enough to give a pregnant lady a house and a job at your aunty’s place. Please don’t even start with the insults.” She sighed. “I’m sorry. F

Hazel’s POVI entered an open room to see him standing half naked and I could swear that I was turned on looking at him,He had the body to make a woman cry for attention.What about him was dragging me to him?Somehow he had the body of that man I had met during my night in that hotel.I wondered if it was him and if he was the one who had made me pregnant.Maybe it was just my imagination but I shrugged.Either way, I was still ready to handle this in a very different way than I would usually handle it.I would get in and ask him if he had by any chance gone to my former pack.I would try to toss the question as a random stuff so he would not trace me back to that pack.I was already an enemy by naming myself from that pack.All I had to do was show up as someone who was different and who just happened to be in that pack recently.But before I could make up my mind to get in, I heard someone breathing behind me.I turned to see Kael standing there and staring at me with narrowed eye

HAZEL POVWe fell into a comfortable silence, and I couldn’t help but stare into his eyes. They were so deep, and it almost looked like they were swirling with different colors of brown. They were also warm - much warmer than I expected. It was as if the world around us suddenly disappeared.I didn't know how much time passed while we just sat there, staring at each other. My heart began to race in my chest and for some reason, it felt like he was tugging at me... opening something inside me that I kept locked up.Before I could process anything, Orion shifted, his movements purposeful. I held my breath as his lips descended toward mine. Then he brushed his lips over mine in a featherlight kiss.Everything stopped at that instant. His mouth was warm and soft but powerful just like his presence. Not demanding, but it left me feeling stunned all the same.When he finally pulled back, I was so stunned I couldn’t think straight. Orion smiled at me, a rare genuine smile and my breath hi

Hazel’s POV“I don’t want to talk about it,” I said as the woman nodded while her maids worked on my face with the light makeup.When they were done with the foundations, I stood before the mirror and watched my reflection.The tailor got to her feet and walked around me while trying to get my measurement as she waved her hands around for the maids to help her with the different clothes in the rack.Her measuring tape dangled around her neck as she tried to start a conversation with me, not willing to give up.This woman was not a friend of mine. Anything I said now would be used against me. I would not give her the satisfaction of labeling me a rogue.I sealed my lips and gazed at her through the mirror.“So…” she began with a light voice and a friendly demeanor. She had been anything but nice before but now she was smiling and wanting to talk to me. This was how they got to many people. “Tell me about yourself. Where are you from? How are your people like?”“Can we focus on the clo

Hazel’s POVI remained seated inside the restaurant, my hands drumming my thigh as I waited for the alpha to return. The low hum from the guests in the restaurant and the tiniest sounds of glasses touched on each other gave me a background buzz, but all my attention was absorbed. All that was in my head was Orion. Where did he go? What must have gone down during that phone call?He had left the table to get the call and that was it.I did not have to wait long but it felt as if hours were spent as I was able to see him walking back. Every time I saw that frown on his face my heart started beating faster. It was not like the alpha I had seen earlier who looked handsome, composed with smirking lips and those dreaming eyes ready to sprinkle the world with lust. This version of him seemed irritable, aloof and shut down entirely.When he came closer to the table I tried to sit erect. “Orion?” I pretended to whisper since I did not want to provoke him. I said gently. “Is something wrong?
