All Chapters of Hazel's Awakening: The Lycan's Heartbeat: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Evelyn’s povThe group shared nervous glances thinking deeply about my words.“Well,” I said in a soothing tone, “I’m sure the alpha will handle it. But in the meantime, we should probably be careful. We wouldn’t want anything…unfortunate to happen.”I smiled at them as I left, feeling more satisfied with each passing step.By the end of the morning, I had the entire pack suspecting her. Misgivings throbbed all around me, whispered behind my back and hers. I reveled in satisfaction as I thought about it.Victory crept up my throat as I went to my room that morning. Hazel might have come here expecting a winning hand… but this was my pack. My alpha. My future.And I wasn’t done with her yet. By the time I was through, she’d be a ghost… an outlaw bitch who had the audacity to think she could take me on, but in the end lost it all.***Hazel’s povThe next morning, I woke up feeling determined. I had been doing everything in my power to adjust to life in the Red Moon pack and no matter w

Orion’s povSomething broke inside me then. I could feel my self-control crumbling away, piece by piece, as I got to my feet and glared across the room at Marcus.“Watch your tone, Marcus,” I warned, my voice low and dangerous.But he didn’t back down. “I speak only the truth. You’re too soft, Orion. Too indecisive. And if you don’t act now, this pack will suffer for it.”The last thread of my patience snapped. In a blur of motion, I was across the room, my hand fisted in the front of Marcus’s robes. With my super strength I slammed him against the wall, a crack sounding through the room as the plaster gave way.The elder gasped, his eyes filling with shock and fear as they locked on mine. My wolf bared his teeth in a deep growl that seemed to fill every inch of space.“I said I would handle it,” I growled, my voice low and threaded with the bite of my wolf. “And when I say I’ll handle it, you don’t question me. Got it?”Marcus swallowed hard, his face white with fear. “Y-yes, Alpha.

Evelyn’s povI walked with determination through the empty halls of the packhouse. My heeled boots clicked on the shiny wooden floors as I tried to make my way towards Orion’s office. Nothing was going to stop me today. With all that has happened, it was time for him to take control of this situation and be the alpha everyone needed. That was something he would have to do. It was clear that hazel didn’t belong here, now I wanted to know if he was handling this privately or publicly. Either way, I was ready for all the action.I knocked on his door twice and entered as I found him pacing around in anger. It was rare to see the alpha in this situation but I shrugged and entered.“What the hell do you want, Evelyn?” he asked. His voice was clipped.I took a step towards him as I closed the door behind me.“Look, I’m just here to help you in whatever way you want,” I said in a low voice. “I can feel that you’re upset but I just want to know how you intend on taking care of this matter. D

Hazel’s povI woke up the next morning with a sigh as I blinked hard at the light before me that was coming in through the windows. The bed was warm and I could tell it wasn’t from the blankets but from someone that was beside me.I smiled, knowing that it was someone special who was there.I looked up at Orion whose steady breathing filled me with happiness as I saw him sleeping peacefully next to me. His chest rose and fell in a beautiful and gentle way as I snuggled into him.It didn’t feel real. Just the other night I had been on my knees begging for mercy and begging for him to spare my life and now I was lying beside him in bed. It was so peaceful having him around.I thought of all the promises he had made to me of how he had promised to not kill or hurt me and I knew I would believe him.I shifted slightly, careful not to wake him, but I couldn’t help myself. I reached out, my fingers gently brushing against his arm. His skin was warm, and a wave of comfort washed over me. He

Evelyn’s povI left Hazel’s room with a heavy heart, my steps slow and deliberate as I made my way to my own room. My emotions were in turmoil, some of them beyond me, I couldn’t even put them into words. It wasn’t just the fact that Hazel had turned down my attempt at friendship. I had come to extend an olive branch, and she had shut the damn door. I had tried to be the better person but she’d seen right through it. And for some reason that hurt.Who did she think she was to act all high and mighty? Oh she was just trying out and she was thinking she was hotcake. I would show her what she was missing.When I got into my room, instead of finding a seat or attempting to clear my head I went straight towards the small table where tea was already being steamed down by one of my maids’.“Give me a painkiller,” I muttered to the maid as I dropped down onto the chair by the window. “And don’t give me anything weak. Give me something strong that will blot everything out.” I couldn’t keep up
