“I will tell you in the car not here, I don’t want you blowing up in front of everyone” I tell her knowing, no matter what she would either be pissed off or shocked.“Whatever” She says, looking back out the window toward the road.“Lose the attitude Hazel , if anyone has the right to be angry, it is Logan and I, for you making us wait over two years to come get you” I snap at her. Her attitude was starting piss me off and I could tell Elias was getting fed up with it too. Mate’s hardly argued, and I hadn’t even got her home yet and we already were.“So, have you got a mate?” She asks Elias. Her question irked me; did she fancy him? Elias shakes his head.“No, Hazel ” He answers, and I notice she cringed when he called her Hazel . I thought it a little odd when she was technically a princess, maybe she didn’t like titles. I did notice Janet preferred her name but accepted her title. Hopefully, Hazel would too.“Why do you want to know if he has a mate?” I ask her. She stares at me or

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

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

“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,

“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
