HAZEL'S POV:The first thing I wake up to is the sun shining into my room through the open window. I squint instinctively and immediately turn away from the quite harsh morning sunlight. Only to find Xavier seated beside me and looking straight at me. This makes me jump and sit up."What are you doing in my room by this time of the morning?"Xavier sits up and shrugs. "Looking after you,"This makes me more confused. I frown. "Looking after me? How? Why?""You got drunk last night and you were quite a hassle. You also had a fever. That's the main reason I'm here,"I place the back of my palm on my forehead. Frowning, I look at him. "A fever? I feel very okay now." "Uhm, you had a fever last night and you acted like you were drunk. I was sure you didn't have much to drink. That's why it got me worried. I'm glad you're fine now though,"I nod. "Thanks for looking out for me,"Xavier gives me a stiff smile and then clears his throat. "You said something last night about wanting bi

CHAPTER 13 HAZELXavier is giving me mixed signals and it's making me confused. At this point, I don't know what he wants. Last night is still something I can't understand. I don't really remember what happened and that was probably because I was tipsy. But this morning, he came to ask me to accept his rejection. Out of nowhere! He misunderstood everything I said about liking boobs. He had no idea I was talking about my boobs but then, he has every right to misunderstand because I didn't even explain anything to him. Once Zoe left, I had gone in search of Xavier to tell him that I wasn't going to accept his rejection no matter what he said. I wasn't ready to explain to him either. I found him in the drawing room but this time, he wasn't just standing and staring out of his window silently. He was standing in front of a mess of broken glass shards. I looked at him in panic and rushed to him only to see that he was bleeding. I had gone into a full blown panic and when I tried to

Hazel POV:"You and Xavier have to be the most interesting couple I have ever met,"I'm seated at the porch with Ryan and Zoe by my side. We decided to hang out as soon as Xavier left for his date with Tracy.What annoys me is that I have never met the lady my whole life. As soon as I left his study, I went in search of Ryan only to find him kissing Zoe. The moment had been awkward for just Zoe because she confessed her feelings to me only to be found kissing Ryan who was her mate. I had no issue with that but she had decided to beat herself up over me finding her kissing Ryan.Ryan was oblivious and I took it as a cue to ask him who the hell Tracy was."Oh, Tracy. One of Xavier's admirers," He had said as he flopped into the space beside Zoe who had scooted away from me. To show me that it was a mistake? "She's been chasing him for over a year. "I had dismissed it like I didn't care and now, Zoe suggested that we play games."We're not interesting," I reply. "Things are just intere

Hazel's POV:My walk back to the pack house is slow as I am contemplating on a lot of things. How the hell am I supposed to pull that off in less than a week?I had already planned on revealing my identity to Xavier but it needed a lot of planning. Xavier might look like a hopeless romantic; a humble man who pursued nothing but good. But he was not a fool. He was a wise man. He wasn't the type to be fooled easily by anyone.If I showed up one morning or afternoon or evening dressed as a woman, he'd freak out, I know. He'd probably think I'm a doppelganger or an identical twin and that will last for just a while because I'd have to explain to him. He's not stupid.I stop walking when I get to the path leading to the gate of the pack house. I need to think about this deeply and smartly. A week wasn't enough.Knowing Colin, he wasn't going to take no for an excuse. He had given me the grace after I had failed to kill Xavier. I don't think he'll do the same this time. I know how he can be

HAZEL'S POV:"Listen to me, Hazel. I didn't have sex with Tracy. For fuck's sake, she's in one of the guest rooms. I might not really fancy this whole situation we're both in, but I can't cheat on you with someone else. Tracy is my friend and that's where it ends. I told you we were going to figure this out, didn't I?"Those words from last night rang in my head and somehow, I had held onto it, hoping he meant what he had said.But here he was, hugging Tracy like his life depended on it. Men were liars and she meant it.When Xavier finally drew away from Tracy, he saw me. He didn't look guilty at all. I didn't see any remorse in his eyes and that was when I knew he did that to split me.I shook my head. I already said I didn't want to have anything to do with him. I already promised myself last night that I was going to do this without feeling anything for him but Ted said otherwise.Ted was a different person and I also was. It didn't matter if we were connected or if he lived inside
