Chapter 11Alpha Drake’s POVI had had a long day, from meeting other alphas for a ceremony to supervising the building of another company of mine. These were tasks that I could not have delegated because they needed my presence. The only thing I regretted was not being able to see Hazel. I had wanted to pass by the company but I was exhausted and needed to wash off the day’s dirt. Pack business was sometimes draining. However, I derived pleasure in knowing that I had all that power in my hands. I could wield it the way I deemed fit. I could break anyone at will.Speaking of power, I needed to punish the wolves that were disturbing my peaceful rest. I had been hearing the noise for some minutes now but chose to ignore it. It was now becoming louder.“I want to talk to Drake now. Move out of the way.” One of the voices shouted.“I am not going to repeat myself. You better leave this place before I wipe the floor with you.” A voice I recognized said. The voice belonged to a member of m

Chapter 13Drake’s POVIt was dawn when I woke up. I almost went back to sleep but remembered what I had promised myself the previous night. I had treated Hazel harshly even after promising myself to woo her to my side. I needed to correct my behavior and get her to be on my side; otherwise I would not get any information from her. I did not want her to pull back after she had started warming up to me. I was going to apologize by treating her right and letting her know that I was still a gentleman. I prepared myself quickly and woke Marcus up. He was the one who was going to drive to pick Hazel from her house.“Why are we picking her up? Can’t she come by herself?” Marcus asked me for the third time.I knew he was wondering what had gotten into me ever since Hazel had joined my company. I had never picked any female employee from their home. In fact I barely interacted with my employees; I delegated my duties most of the time. This meant that I was rarely seen at the office unless it

Chapter 15I was in the middle of an assignment that Drake had added me when my phone rung. This was the third task I was doing that was not my job. My colleague had wanted to help but he had been given a harsh warning not to help me. I had to do it alone yet it was not my job to begin with. I could not complain for the fear of being fired especially since the boss seemed to have developed an unexplainable hatred towards me. I had tried being a good employee but it seemed that everything I did irked him.I did not want to get fired because I was the only parent my children knew. They depended on me for everything and if they dismissed me from my job then I would be both penniless and homeless. Lucas had told me that I could stay for as I long as I want but I did not want to impose. I was planning on saving for a while and then moving on to my new apartment. I wanted my children to be comfortable and not lack anything.Without looking at the name on the display, I picked my phone and an

Chapter 17Hazel’s POVDays had passed and I had not yet made a decision about Lucas. This was a difficult decision for me. I liked Lucas and wanted to give him a chance. He was a good guy who had done nothing wrong except love me. I was worried about Noah too. I knew he still wanted me back and roping Lucas into my messed up life would be catastrophic. The mating bond was another problem too. Engaging with someone else while still mated to Noah would harm me. I was conflicted. What would happen if I told Lucas no? Would he send me out of his house if I rejected his advances? I wanted to make a sober decision but I could not do that when my mind was clouded.To clear my mind, I decided to take Kaiser and Kyla to the park for some fun time. It had been long since we had an outing so the twins were happy when I told them about my plan. We woke up early morning to prepare for the day. I bathed the twins as Lucas made breakfast. He had cancelled his plans for the day even after I had insi

Chapter 19Hazel’s POVI woke up early to help Lucas prepare for his business trip. I knew he was capable of sorting himself out but I wanted to help. I was also feeling guilty about the way I behaved some time back and not giving him a positive feedback. He had not said anything more about the two situations and I had not bothered to broach them. This was because I did not know what to say to make him feel better. I had not made a stand yet. We were aware of the eventuality but we decided to stall.“Enjoy your trip.” I bid him farewell. I was standing at the door. He turned, looked at me and smiled before asking, “Are you not going to hug me?” I blushed before leaning in for a hug. “That’s my girl.” He said as he ruffled my hair. “Please take care of the children. And yourself, okay?”“I will. Call me when you get there.” I said. He got into the car and the driver sped off.I was going to miss him. I had gotten used to having him around the past few months we had been here. I knew
