Logan's POV
I hadn't seen Hazel at school today and I was happy. That little weakling made my blood boil and whenever I saw my dad doting on her, it made me sick. I knew that she was his personal assistant and he had grown to take a liking to her. It just made me so angry seeing them together.
I was in my last class for the day and I hated it; geography was my least favorite. I wasn't even paying attention and was counting down the minutes for the bell to ring so that I could get the hell out of there.
Soon, all my waiting paid off and the school bell went for the end of the class and we all stood up and headed out. I still hadn't seen Hazel and Cassie walk up to me.
"Hey babe, how about we go to your place."
Cassie was my girlfriend and was a hot number. Hazel couldn't be compared to her and best of all, she was an alpha, just like me.
"Sure babe."
I pulled her in and kissed her full on the lips. She tasted like strawberries and I relished the taste.
We walked together to my car and she got into the passenger's seat and we sped off. As we drove, I began to think about Hazel. I didn't love her and I loathed the fact that I was mated to her. She was an embarrassment but I couldn't just stay away from her. When she was near, her scent filled the air and tinged my nostrils and today, the air felt unusually dull without it.
"Logan, can we stop at my house real quick? I need to get something really important."
"Sure. Why not."
I took the next turn and after a while, we pulled up in front of Cassie's house. I turned my head and caught a glimpse of Hazel just disappearing into the forest. What on earth was she doing there? she had gone to meet up with one of her nerdy boyfriends. There was one that she was always walking with but I couldn't just quite remember his name. Benard was it?
I got out of the car and walked towards the forest out of curiosity. Cassie came out and saw me walking towards the forest.
"Where are you going?"
"Nowhere. Wait here for me."
"Come back. Don't go in there."
But I paid her no attention and soon disappeared behind the trees. It didn't take long for me to find Hazel and she was acting all strange. She was walking like she was under some kind of spell or trance. I dogged her steps and noticed that she was about to cross the stream that served as the border to the forbidden side of the pack. I rushed in just in time to pull her back before she could take another step and she fainted in my arms. I looked at her face and saw that she was pretty, with delicate features.
I carried her and took her to the car that was still parked in front of Cassie's house. She was furious when she saw me carrying her.
"Why are you with her? Is that why you went into the forest? To look for her!"
I ignored Cassie and put Hazel in the back of the car. I got into the driver's seat and sped off leaving an angry Cassie, in front of her home.
I took her straight to the pack house and was able to carry her up to the room that was reserved for her, whenever she needed to stay.
I laid her down gently on the bed and she exhaled weakly. I was a little worried about her and watched over her as she rested. Soon there was a buzzing sound. I picked my phone and saw that Cassie was calling. I groaned in frustration and silenced the phone. I really didn't need her nagging right now. I touched Hazel's forehead and felt her burning up with a fever. I rushed to my room and got a small towel that was wet and put it on her forehead to calm the fever down. She looked so pretty and fragile as she lay in bed. I still detested the fact that I was mated to her but If I was going to be the next Alpha of the pack, I needed a strong and capable Luna, like Cassie.
However, as much as I hated her, I couldn't help being around her. Her scent was so alluring and no matter how sexy Cassie was, I could never feel the same attraction I felt for Hazel.
I touched her forehead again and the fever had calmed down slightly. I decided to head back to my room and freshen up and I would check on her later.
As I got there, I looked at my phone and saw that I had about twenty missed calls from Cassie and she was still calling. I switched off my phone and threw it on the bed. I was not in the mood. I undressed and headed into the bathroom for a quick shower.
In less than ten minutes, I was done. I put on some clean clothes and hurried back to check on Hazel. She was still sound asleep. I watched her for a while and I tried to keep myself in check. Being in the same room with her was intoxicating and all I wanted to do was bend down and kiss her warm lips. The memory of our first kiss in the lab sent shudders down my spine.
After about thirty minutes, I decided to go and let her rest. As I walked to the door, I heard noises. I turned back and noticed her stirring; she was about to wake up.
I walked towards her and stood by her side. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Chelsea."
I raised my eyebrow in surprise and suspicion. Chelsea was my little sister. She was dead and dad still grieved her death every so often.
I was so confused and I creeped out a little. Why on earth was she talking about my little sister?
Hazel's POVHazel’s point of ViewMy head hurt and some part of my body were numb. I tossed in bed while I rubbed my eyes and finally opened them.At the moment, I was fully awake with my eyes wide open and I realized that I was not in my room. The room looked familiar but it was not my room. I also took in the scent of someone I never want to see. I lifted my throbbing head up and I saw Logan’s eyes peering at me.What was happening? I looked around again and realized that I was actually in Logan’s room and he was leaning against a wall with his legs crossed.“What am I doing here?”I looked around fearfully. Did he do anything to me? Did he touch me? I felt myself for a while and I was okay and I didn’t feel weird; he didn’t hurt me.I tried to climb down from his bed but I was weak and drousey. One of my legs hit the cold floor and I felt dizzier.“What did you do to me?” I questioned him angrily, not hiding my hate for this werewolf in my tone.“Did you touch me?” I ask again and h
Hazel’s POVI pushed Logan and I nearly stumbled on the ground. I was far away from him the moment he stopped holding me.“I want nothing to do with you Logan and you should not manipulate me because we are fated, do not use the mate bond against me and make me think that i want you, only the moon goddess knows what you had done to me.” I raised my voice a little at the end of the sentence and I saw the way he glared at me.I stood with a furry building up in me. “ You have asked me to stay away from you and act like the bond between us never existed and I will do just that and I think you should do the same thing. Do not make it any harder than it is, drugging me and bringing me to your room? Lying that I walked into the woods? Oh please Logan I think the soon to be Alpha can come up with better excuses.” I made sure my voice was loud enough so he could hear me.I am having a breakdown as I see myself struggling to keep the tears in. How could I have a mate but be forced to stay away
Hazel’s POVIt was the next morning and as always, it wasn’t easy getting ready for school, I had chores and I hadn’t attended to any of it and I was sure I wouldn’t be let off easily.“Your getting late to school, Hazel. Have you ever had your bath?” Lorena asked as I watched the dishes in the kitchen while she cleaned up and arranged.“I haven’t Lorena, when I’m done with my chores I will.” I replied and continued washing the dishes.“I’ll do that for you Hazel, you cannot be late to school today, remember you're taking the bus.” She stopped what she was doing and turned to me.“It’s okay Lorri.” I smiled.“You don’t feel so good Lorri , I cannot have you work.” I reminded her and she smiled.“I am fine, I will do your chores for you.” She pulled the washing gloves out of my hand as we spoke.“You sure about this Lorena?”“Yes Hazel.” I smiled and pulled her into a tiny hug.“Thank you.” I was about to run out of the kitchen so I could get ready for school but I stopped in my tracks
Hazel’s POVI had begged Jasper to drop me off a few walks before the school but as usual, Jasper is a very stubborn werewolf and will not take no for an answer.Seeing me climb down from the car of the school’s most feared was a big news. I mean everyone knows that Jasper is close to me but seeing me in his car was something else, I wondered why he came to pick me today.I didn’t mind the stares and the side talks, I walked into the school building and heade to class.Classes started one after the other and they were all fun. Learning was always the best part of school, you could scream it out that I was a nerd.We were given a few assignments and I was excited to do them. It was chemistry class in five minutes time and I needed to get ready for the class, I walked out the class with my books in my hand as I headed to the locker room so I could grab my notes and get ready for the next class.As I walked through the hall, walking by a classroom door, I was pulled in by someone.I yell
Hazel’s Point Of View.This is how school has been, classes, bullying, lunch. I hated my life but I would live my life for it to get better. It was getting worse by the day and all I could do was watch things go bad as I was unable to control my own life but I would get better, I would work for my life to get better.I picked myself up from the ground, arranged my uniform and wiped my eyes before leaving the room.I walked to my locker and picked up my chemistry note and learning materials then headed to the chemistry Lab.It was unlike me to attend a class late and as I made to walk into the ongoing class with the teacher in front of the class, I stopped on my track when Mr Leo called my name.“Hazel?” Before he could say another word of complaint I was apologizing for coming late to his class.“I’m sorry sir, I had something urgent to do, it will never repeat itself.”He sighed softly and shook his head negatively. “Because it is the first time you are coming late to my class
Logan's POV Standing under the trees, in the lonely garden, surrounded by a fenced barbed wire with my head bowed and fists clenched in anger, I reflected on the incident that happened some days ago.Unable to control my anger, I paced about. I felt like smashing something. Preferably Jasper's face. "How could she be so stubborn?" I muttered loudly. It was annoying that Hazel was able to get under my skin like an irritant, ever since she set her feet into my house. What would it cost her to be obedient?Now, I went ahead to hurt her. What the hell possessed me to choke her? Her troubled eyes before I let her go, haunted my subconscious mind, playing like a broken record.As if that was not enough, my wolf berated me for almost sending his mate six feet under. What would it take her to stay away from Jasper? That boy was bad news. She had no idea of how many girls he had been with, and how many of them had gotten their hearts shattered by him. The thought of him got me pissed. Did s
Hazel’s POV" You like someone? Do I know her?" I inquired. " One question at a time. Yes. You don't know her." He replied shyly." Have you told her?" I asked." No." I raised a brow, " Don't you think she deserves to know?" I quizzed. " You think I should tell her?" He replied.I rolled my eyes, Duh? " Of course! How would she know that you like her if you don't tell her?" He ran a hand through his shaggy hair and shrugged nonchalantly. " I'm not sure she likes me." My brows creased, " Have you considered that she might like you back?" He looked deep in thought, " A fair point."I stared at him, " Seriously, what's the worst that could happen? At most, she says that she doesn't feel the same way. But you will get to make peace with her decision early, and save yourself from unnecessary heartache." I advised.He nodded, and I waved my hand playfully, " Don't thank me, I know I am an awesome love doctor." I waved my hand around lightly.He snorted, " Don't start." He mumbled as w
Hazel’s POVMy eyes misted up in tears and I scolded myself for giving in to him like a wanton lover. A little self-control would have spared me this humiliation. The most frustrating thing was that if I was given a choice I would still choose to kiss him again. A bittersweet experience. With my chin held high, I stared at him, "You can spare yourself the headache and just reject me. What do you think?" Logan chuckled evilly, " I cannot reject you." My heart fluttered with hope at the thought of him beginning to feel something for us blossom. " Surely it can't be that hard. If you claim that you do not like me. You would be more inclined to sever any ties with me." I replied. He chuckled derisively, " Do you think I would hesitate if I had a choice?" He asked. Then stared at me with mockery in his gaze." You don't think I am beginning to fall for you because of a stupid kiss?" He asked.My face fell at the statement. I know that my first kiss didn't happen conventionally, but I
