“Can you put that in your car Chase” I ask him, and he looks to Logan , like doing so would be betraying him.“I take it you’re coming back with us?” My mother asks him. He nods once before my mothers eyes snap to Janet ; she takes a step back from my mother’s anger. Her silence more intimidating than her screaming at you, you know you fucked up when she just stares but says nothing. Janet rushes to his car and hops in away from her gaze.“Hazel wait” Logan calls. I turn facing him but not meeting his gaze. I didn’t want to see the hurt in his eyes feeling it was bad enough.“It’s done Logan ,” I tell him walking toward Chase’s car.“He didn’t mean it” Logan calls out.“But he still did it though, didn’t he” I tell him before hopping in the car beside Logan .I watch my mother talk to Logan before looking back at the car, she nods before placing her hand on his shoulder and I see him hang his head dropping onto the step looking toward the car. I look away not able to watch. My mother
“That’s good” I tell her not knowing what else to say when I remember something Lucas said. That a bond could be broken I just need a witch.“Do you know any witches by any chance?” I ask her, her head snapping towards me in confusion as she lets me go nearly making me fall on my side.“Never met one, maybe ask Clan he would know” She says.“Why?”“Because that’s how Lucas dad survived after his mum died, he had a witch break the bond remove it like it never existed” I tell her.“You want to break your mate bond?”“I don’t see any other way” I tell her.“No, Hazel just…No you can’t do that just wait longer things will work out” She says horrified by the idea, yet it made sense. I couldn’t make Logan choose; I wouldn’t put him through that. This was the only for to be free, only way for me to be free.“I will forgive you for everything, everything Hazel if you help me” I tell her. She shakes her head standing up.“No Hazel .. I can’t, besides where would we find a witch because I sure
“That’s good” I tell her not knowing what else to say when I remember something Lucas said. That a bond could be broken I just need a witch.“Do you know any witches by any chance?” I ask her, her head snapping towards me in confusion as she lets me go nearly making me fall on my side.“Never met one, maybe ask Ryker he would know” She says.“Why?”“Because that’s how Lucas dad survived after his mum died, he had a witch break the bond remove it like it never existed” I tell her.“You want to break your mate bond?”“I don’t see any other way” I tell her.“No, Hazel just…No you can’t do that just wait longer things will work out” She says horrified by the idea, yet it made sense.

“Yes, lets find us this witch” She says, and I feel excited for the first time in days things were going to work out, everything would be fine, and I would be free to move on with my life and them the same.“When do you want to go?” I ask her.“Tomorrow I will tell Chase we are going on a girls weekend, I can tell him to go see his brother early, he is worried about things back home” She says, and I nod everything coming together.“I will handle mum” I tell her, and nods .“Yes you can tell her we are going away, I don’t want to be slapped again” She says.Hazel’s I spoke to mum last night asking if I could go away for the weekend, seemed stupid that I had to ask permission considering I am technically an adult. Her reply was I had to ask my brother which I was not looking forward to because since I have left, something has drastically changed within my brother, he was cold and nasty, completely different to when I left, I have been home for eight days and Clan and my father have bee
“Why Avalon City?” He asks curiously, so he had heard of it then.“Apparently it is nice there” Clan scoffs, shaking his head.“It is nice but it’s not safe for you to be wandering around in that city” He says“How so?”“Humans here have only just learnt of our kind, Avalon City is different the entire city is filled with nightwalkers and everything else. Humans there were raised amongst them, the city has wards bordering off each section, any human leaves they forget about the place, the place is literally crawling with supernatural’s” He says.“Oh I didn’t know that” I said thoughtful.“You really want to go?” He asks and I nod but now the thought also scared me a little.“Fine you can go, but mum is right, I need to get out of here for a bit, I am coming with you”“No, no we were having a girls weekend” I lie but he sees straight through it when my heartrate increases, he raises and eyebrow staring me down.“Now I am intrigued because I know you’re lying to me, either I am coming a
“He helped Beta’s mother band together the rogues that Kade used to attack the Crescent Pack but wait Hazel ” He says as I go to jump up horrified.“He didn’t know and was trying to help his father, that’s what made him hesitant to challenge his father, thought he owed him for covering up for him”“Well, if that’s true why beat him up” I demand to know.“He is lucky he only got away with a few broken bones, I wanted to kill him” He says making bile rise in my throat.“What, why would you do that Clan , he is my mate”“Was your mate Hazel , and that’s exactly why I did it, he should have known better then to hurt my sister, he is alive so stop overreacting he will heal, now get out, go pack we leave in an hour”Hazel’s I sat in the front with my brother on the trip there, Janet sat in the back, said she wanted to be out of grabbing reach of Clan who growled at her as she hopped in the car. The trip took hours and by the time we got to the border of the city I was spent and just wanted
“Yeah because we aren’t together anymore Logan , you have Lucas ”“Yeah but I want you and Lucas isn’t talking to me either, can you come home, we can figure this out”“I am not coming home, and don’t lie to me. I know you were with Lucas the other day could feel you together, you know how much that shit hurts?” my voice sounding louder then I had hoped.“Hazel , I haven’t seen Lucas since you left”“Bullshit” I tell him about to hang up on him when my brother clears his throat making my eyes dart to him.“That’s my fault Hazel ” Clan says.“No Clan you didn’t make them sleep together” I tell him, and I hear Logan growl on the other end of the phone.“Hazel, I haven’t been with Lucas , I wouldn’t do that not without you” Tate says and I could feel confusion leaking into me through this god damn bond.“My fault, I didn’t think it would hurt you just Logan ” Clan says.“What’s he talking about?” Logan asks me.I place the phone on loudspeaker handing it to Clan . Clan drinks another bot
“I am only tipsy, not drunk so be a good little sister and go down and fetch more from the bar downstairs” Clan tells her.“You don’t think you drank enough?” She asks.“Just stop whining and go” He tells her before reaching in his pocket and giving her his credit card. She growls before taking it from him and walking out the door.“I know what we can do tomorrow, I will take you to meet someone she is pretty nice but also a little scary, you can ask her about your mates” Clan says making me sit up or at least try to.“Who and where” I ask.“Avery, she is the city’s regent, she is usually at her apothecary shop on the east side”“What do you mean she is scary” I ask.“because she is not just a witch, you will see tomorrow. We can go after lunch” He says and I yawn before nodding. We sit in silence for a bit waiting for Janet to come back.“Clan ?”“yeah”“What did she say about your mate?” He says nothing but rolls over facing me on his bed and I notice how sad he looks.“Is that why
