“No of course not, I just need to speak to my father” I tell her.Hazel’sWe drove for what felt like hours and I couldn’t wait to get out of the car and away from Lucas . He had two years to prepare, so to find out I was some secret he has kept really ticked me off. When he took a turn off heading along a dirt road amongst the trees, I knew we must be getting close. Lucas suddenly tensed in his seat, straightening up and he looked nervous. We followed the dirt road which is surrounded by a dense forest. It was quiet out here. The only sounds were nature. Everything lush and green and completely secluded the further we drove. We came to what looked like a watch post. I could see a few men standing next to the wooden building. They look up as the car drives closer. Lucas pulls the car to a stop beside them, and two men walk over looking in the windows. Lucas winds his window down, but I don’t pay attention to what they are saying instead my eyes focused on their guns.Exactly how bad w
Logan chuckles when he catches my shock which must have been on display for them.“Wait, am I missing something? You two hate each other” I tell them. Lucas shakes his head.“Two years is a long time Hazel , things change. I never hated Logan ; I love him. I just don’t have to hide it here” He says, shocking me more.“But”-Logan pulls me against him, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and kissing the side of my face.“We are mates Hazel always have been, Lucas 's father doesn’t approve” Logan tells me.“Do us two being Mate's bother you?” Logan asks, staring at me with worry etched on his face. Honestly, I didn’t know what to think but it explains how I could be mates with both of them. Maybe things would work out like my mother said they would. I never thought seeing two men together would turn me on, but it felt right, and honestly it was hot seeing them together like that.“So, your father knows about you two?” I ask and Lucas nods.“That’s why his father won’t hand the pack ov
LucasElias dropped me off at the border, I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to remain with my mates, help her settle in but I had no other choice other than to go confront my father. He was in the middle of a meeting when I walked in with his Beta, both of them standing around his oval desk looking at some maps. My brothers lounging on the couch looking incredibly bored which I understood my father tended to drone on and on over the little things. Walking in, my youngest brother Chase looks up, a smile slipping onto his face at seeing me before moving over on the two-seater he was sitting on.“What are they talking about?” I ask, sitting down.“You would know if you were here” My father spits at me, I fight the urge to growl at him, knowing it's pointless to argue back with him. Last time I tried he had three pack warriors force me out the packhouse and to the cells. They hated it, they didn’t understand why I put up with his shit.My father ordered them to whip me. All were reluctant
Now I have a bigger problem, he expects me to mark her. My father is old fashioned and believes women are to be seen not heard. That they should be obedient and do as they are told. Hazel though, I know wouldn’t allow that sort of treatment nor did I expect her to accept that treatment. My mother killed herself because she couldn’t handle my father’s harsh ways. If it wasn't for a witch’s help, it would have killed him. She severed the remnants of the bond so he could live. My father said my mother was weak, but in reality, he was because the one person who he should have adored and cherished, he destroyed. All because he didn’t believe she was his equal and she refused to give him any more kids.I was shocked when he was granted a second chance mate, how the Moon Goddess could be so cruel as to subject another woman to the same treatment that my mother suffered through for years. Yet she has remained by his side and gave him three more sons. Though none have lived up to his expectati
“My father wants to meet you tomorrow,” Lucas says nervously. I shrug not understanding the big deal about it, I was bound to meet him anyway. Logan growls and I look at him over my shoulder.“That’s fine, I will end up meeting him anyway” I tell him, before grabbing my brush and trying to detangle my hair.“That’s not all Hazel and I understand if you don’t want to go. I am not trying to pressure you” My brows furrow wondering where he is going with this.“My father wants me to mark you tonight before I bring you to him” He is kidding right? Like he wouldn’t. I take a step back, my heart pounding against my ribcage at his words, his eyes tracking my movement before he puts up his hands in what I guess was supposed to calm me.“I won’t mark you without permission Lana, calm down” Lucas says before sighing. He looked tired as he laid back down on the bed. Logan shakes his head at what he said before storming off, slamming the door behind him.“What’s wrong with him?” I ask, looking ne
“We can but not long Logan I will attack someone without it” Logan scratches the back of his head. Werewolves naturally hate vampires even though I am part Lycan, I could tell this was already going to become an issue.“Yeah, I don’t think any of my pack will let you have their blood Hazel . You might just need to make do until I get into the city. How long can you go without it?”“Maybe three days, it’s already been two” I tell him worried. If his pack feels this strongly about vampires, it made me wonder what Logan feels about me being a hybrid. I cooked dinner for both of us, but I was suddenly no longer hungry and had to force myself to eat it. I honestly didn’t think me being a hybrid was going to be a problem because they knew what I was before I came here. I had been here not even 24 hours and we were already going to have major issues.We eat in silence, then I wash up while Tate grabs a beer and walks into the loungeroom flicking the TV on. I sat with him for a little while,
“No, of course not, we knew what you were before we brought you here. You being hybrid doesn’t bother us Hazel ” He says. Suddenly the door opens and in stumbles a very sleepy Logan e, he climbs in the bed rolling over half asleep and spooning Lucas .Lucas looks over his shoulder at him before turning back to me with a silly grin on his face.“You seem more comfortable here” I tell him. Lucas seems to think for a second but doesn’t remove Logan ’s arm that is wrapped around him instead pulls me closer before sitting up on his elbow looking down at me, his eyes darting to my lips for a second and he hesitates before leaning down and kissing me, his lips were soft on mine and I felt him pause for a second when I kissed him back before feeling his tongue run across my bottom lip wanting access.My lips part and I feel his tongue slip into my mouth playing with mine before he takes control of the kiss fighting mine for dominance and I let him have it, not fighting against him and it felt
“You need to stop denying us, you are starting to drive me insane” I tell him, he ignores my words continuing to look at the stairs waiting for Hazel . Reaching my hand out, I touch the back of his neck and he jumps away like I burned him. Hurt hitting me hard like I have been punched in the gut.“Don’t touch me, you’ll leave your scent on me” He snaps. I know it is just the anxiety of his father causing his outburst but that doesn’t make his words hurt any less.“Your father does anything, make sure you ring me, be easier if you would let me mark you because we would have a packlink” I tell him. He nods, not answering about me marking him.“I mean it, Lucas . He touches her I will fucking kill the bastard”“I won’t let him hurt our mate, Logan . Geez”“Are you sure about that, because you have no problem letting him hurt me” I ask, folding my arms across my chest.“My father hasn’t done anything to you” Lucas retorts.“No denying me my mate has no effect on me, you are right he has d
