Hazel’s POV“How dare you push me? Do you know who I am?” The woman shouted.“Please, I beg you in the name of all that is good, leave me alone. I do not want to fight with you.” I said. She was getting on my last nerve. I had pushed her to get away from her but she had followed me like a fly. I was too tired to argue with a woman who knew nothing about me and was relying on hearsay.“Ooh, now you are strong, eeh? You could not fight for yourself, but now you want to fight me? Bring it on whore.” She said as she moved near. I was not going to stoop so low to her level with the insults and name calling. I wished I had been adamant and stayed at home instead of coming to this party.“Young woman, the next time you insult my girlfriend, I will kick you so hard you will fall inside the ocean.” Drake said before taking my hand.“Let nobody mess with my woman. I am not like some cheats here who rejected their mates to be with another woman.” Drake said loudly.His declaration made me want
Noah’s POVThis was not how I had wanted my next encounter with Hazel to be. I had planned to woo her until she forgave me and agreed to come back home. Now I had gone and messed it up with my big mouth. I had said hurtful things that I could not take back nor erase. She was never going to forgive me. I wanted to blame Drake for provoking me but it was partly my fault for taking the bait. Drake was a crazy werewolf who got off on seeing my suffering. We were sworn enemies and I know I should have ignored him. I would have, if I had not seen him being chummy with Hazel.I could not believe that Hazel had left me for Drake. Didn’t she know who Drake really was? Had she not seen his true colors? I know it was jealousy that was making me behave that way. Hazel was my mate, we had just had a little glitch or something one would call a detour but I was determined to get her back. Destiny was not wrong for putting us together. I was going to win her back no matter what. She belonged to me an
Chapter 28Hazel’s POVI was having a hard time concentrating at work. My head was aching from worrying about a lot of things. I wished I could just disappear with my kids and go to a secluded place. I hated attention because when people paid close attention to you, they found one or two things that were bad about you. I did not want the scrutiny that came with being close to the boss. I had wanted to talk to him about it but thought against it. There was no use, I would just lay low, do my work and go home to my kids. There was no use in stirring the pot.That was what I had been doing, laying low, until Drake approached me.“Hello Hazel. I need to talk to you now. Follow me to my office.’ He said when he found me in the kitchen. The evening was hot and I was getting a bottle of water from the fridge before going home. I had had a constant headache for two days now. I did not want to ask for an off day for fear of rumors spreading and people pointing fingers about something as simpl
Noah’s POVI was in my office trying to concentrate on the monthly report I had been given by my beta. Ever since my wolf started misbehaving, he had been the one taking care of most pack affairs. He had forced me to take a back seat after I almost beat a pack member to death. He had brought me the wrong pair of shoes. My beta knew that if he did not take over, then the pack members would notice and there would be chaos. Some would take advantage of my situation and use it to try and overthrow me. You could never trust power thirsty wolves.A lot of things were running through my mind. Why was the private investigator I had hired taking so long? Hazel was just one person with little to no social life, what was taking him so long? Had he found something incriminating against Hazel? I was still mulling over Hazel’s issue when I heard a knock on the door.“Come in.” I said before closing the file I had been perusing. It was the private investigator.“Good day Alpha.” He greeted.“What to
Hazel’s POVThe day had favored me. First, Drake had been a no show at the office which meant I could breathe and work without anxiously looking at his office door all the time. I did not have to be on high alert and that made me happy. Second, my colleagues, the ones who did not like me, were too busy to bother me. Apparently there was going to be a company auditing next week-they had not been doing their work properly and were working tirelessly to remedy that. I, on the other hand, had been doing my work diligently and had no reason to worry.It was time to go home but most of my colleagues were still working. I did not envy them at all, it was their cross to carry. I picked my handbag, cleared my work station and walked past the angry, hungry and tired faces with a spring on my steps. Some raised their heads just to scowl at me. Like it was my fault they spent their time telling stories and gossiping instead of doing what they had been hired to do. I ignored their sour faces; noth
Noah’s POVHow dare she? I had tried all I could to woo her back but she was proving difficult. Why then had she told me that she had forgiven me when she still holds a grudge bigger than the mountain? Two men! First it was Drake and now Lucas. Did she love Drake? Was that why she was refusing to quit her job even after my generous offer? Why would she juggle between two men? Did they not know of the existence of each other? I had lots of questions that needed answers. Who was going to answer them though?Hazel had hurt me and was continuing to hurt me by her actions. The friendly kids, going by their scents, were Hazel’s children. Being near Hazel for more than five minutes had enabled to take in her scent, it was familiar, warm and inviting. I wanted her, my wolf wanted her. We yearned for her. But she was adamant and also had other men eating on her hands. I could bet my whole pack that they were enamored with her. She was a beauty. I had to find a means to heal my heart. Being rej
Sandra’s POVThis was the nth time he was rejecting me. I had tried today, even wore my best lingerie but he still rejected me. I had done something different: caught him when he was most vulnerable but still the results were negative. I had to find another strategy to make him worship my feet and want to drink from my well. I was a woman and women had to have other tricks up their sleeves. I needed several plans so that if one backfired then I would resort to the other plans. I also needed to give my informant a raise. He had served me well and was continuing to do so, hence making me proud and giving me the upper hand when it came to Noah.Talking of upper hands, I loathed Hazel. Even after all these years, why did she still have a hold on him? What was it that she was doing that I could not do? She had even escaped and became a rogue werewolf but Noah still followed her ass. I hated her with everything I had and I was going to make sure that she failed in winning Noah’s heart. I di
Hazel’s POVI loved the weekends. It was my time to recharge and get to bond with my kids. It was fulfilling, especially on Saturdays, to just chill and watch my kids be. Ever since we moved in with Lucas, they seemed happy. Kaiser was opening up like a beautiful flower. Kyla’s laughter was loud and joyful. She was always in a good mood. Their physical appearance had changed too. They were almost outgrowing all their clothes. I needed to start budgeting for new and fitting clothes for them. Now that I could afford to save because of Lucas, I was going to get them a few pricey clothes and some pairs of shoes. Maybe I could get something for myself too.Today was a good day. I had enjoyed spending time with Kaiser and Kyla. We had started the day with breakfast and then read some books before going to the park for two hours. I loved going to the pack: the fresh air allowed me to think and strategize about the new week. It was in the park that I mulled over and made my decisions. I would
