All Chapters of Hazel's Awakening: The Lycan's Heartbeat: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Orion’s POVI had not expected to hear that name from her mouth and to hear it now had me shocked.She stared at me in anger and I could tell that my absence earlier with Evelyn being around must have something to do with this.“Well?” She asked me in anger as I looked around the room.“How do you know about Evelyn? Did she come in here to talk to you?”“I’m guessing she was the reason you decided to push me aside huh.”I sighed. “Hazel. Relax. Don’t ruin the already good night we were having just because that lady decided to show up and ruin everything. You are my mate. You know that and I know that.”“What about her?” She asked as I sighed and sat down on her couch. “She said she was your arranged mate.”I sighed. “Is it true?”I knew whatever I answered now would only lead to more problems so I decided to shut up and walk out.I walked to the door and got out of the room while thinking of what to say to Evelyn.The minute I got to my study, I found her there.I entered with a frow

Evelyn’s POVI walked with the elder who took me to a different part of the garden and looked around to make sure no one was following us.“Welcome back to the pack,” he said as I nodded. “Now you’re back, I’m guessing you’re going to start trying to take back what is rightfully yours.”That was a stretch but now I was confused on why he had said that.“Oh come on,” he said with a laugh. “Don’t act dumb. I know you have a plan to take back your place as his mate.”“Look, I’m done fighting with the alpha. You know Orion. Once he makes up his mind, that is that. I can’t push him out of his ideas. Just leave me alone.”“So you’re not going to do anything about that strange woman in the palace that is in your quarters?”I halted in my steps as I slowly turned to him.How did he know that Hazel was in my quarters?But how wouldn’t he know? He was an elder in the palace. There was no way he wouldn’t know.But I already had a plan brewing and I wasn’t going to waste my time with the elder.“

Hazel’s POVThe sunlight streamed in through the slats in the wall of the shed, leaving patches of light that danced across the floor where Mara, Lily and I stood. We were working on something new today; a healing technique Mara had been excited to teach us. She was going on about pressure points, something important with interest at certain points on what appeared to be a dummy laid out before us so she could teach us the basics of it all. Her voice was steady, but her hands sure as she pointed to different areas over its chest and abdomen.“These are the pressure points you want to know when applying this moves.” Mara pressed into it with her fingers for emphasis. “If someone has extreme internal hemorrhaging, you’ll use this point here-”I watched, listening with an intensity I hadn't felt in years. This was knowledge I needed to acquire and I wasn’t going to mess it up. Lily stood against the wall next to me, arms crossed with a slight grin on her face.She made a funny face wh

Evelyn’s povI leaned back in my seat, feeling smug as I watched that Hazel girl scurry out of the dining hall. A smug smile played on my lips. It had taken long enough to rattle her. She thought she could come into my world and take something that didn’t belong to her? Not in this lifetime.She was stupid to think my Orion was hers. Well, I would show her that I didn’t like to share my men and Orion was mine and mine alone. He wasn’t for other women.I don’t care if Orion wants her, he was mine and no one was taking him away from me.Orion soon finished his meal and took off right after her, not looking once my way. I knew he was mad at me, but I didn’t care. That would be changing soon enough. Once I claimed what was rightfully mine with him and broke Hazel in the process.I stood, smoothing my dress. It was time for me to go to my room. Just as I started down the hallway, my maid came up behind me and curtsied nervously. “My Lady Evelyn, I thought you might want to know about Ha

Evelyn’s POVI made my way to Orion’s office, anxiety and excitement had my heart racing. I needed to see him this morning and maybe get him to acknowledge me even if it was just a tiny bit.When I reached Orion’s office door in no time, I found the door was left ajar. I pushed it open slowly, keeping myself from barging in impatiently in front of him. The room looked dark with only a few lamps lit and smelled heavily of wood and leather; Orion sat behind his huge desk buried under piles of papers he seemed to be looking over thoroughly. “Orion,” I whispered, hoping to break through his concentration. “Is there anything I can do to help? You seem like you’re up to your neck in work.”He blew out a long breath and glanced up at me, his emerald green eyes locking on to mine. “I’m fine, Evelyn. Just stressed.”I frowned. It was as if he hadn’t noticed me there—his own mate. I wanted to tell him about my travels, the things I’d seen and discovered while I was gone, but he was still star
