Drift Apart:- Scared of Attachment
HarmeenHey there. Harmeen here. So I particularly wrote this chapter to be slow burn and pave the way for my characters to actually bond. I believe in slow romance that leads to something ethereally beautiful, and I hope you like the speed I am taking that. Anyway, I wrote this chapter listening to Dmeanor's the moment. It just put me in the feels for this chapter and I hope if you decide to listen to it, it will for you too. Here is to watching Austin and Hazel's story. Thanks for sticking with me.

I laid down staring at the blank ceiling, my heart feeling a little empty. I didn't know what to feel. Happy that Austin was warming up or scared that it won't last?I heard the door click open and I closed my eyes. I wasn't sure what he woulf say, or what I would want to hear. "Hazel?" It was Austin's voice. A little somber, a little low, but it was him. I didn't respond, and I felt him sit close to me. "You are not pretending to be asleep, right?" He asked, and I almost felt guilty.But it felt like he wanted someone to listen without judging, so I decided to stay asleep.There was silence however, and I clenched my fists in curiosity."You know, I thought about it. You are right to be insecure." He took in a deep breath and let it out. I released my hand slowly."You are right to be guarded. You don't know when I will want her back...I don't know when either. What if I actually forgive her? What if I actually want her back?"'Then you will leave me.' I thought to myself. You will
The Alpha's Substitute Luna I Am Taken
My lips moved slowly against his, seeking entrance and pleasure, hoping he would at least be distracted by it, even if I know he won't be as euphoric as it is for me.I could taste slight saltiness from his tears, and I slowly let my hand sink into his hair. He titled to the right naturally. Maybe I should have waited for him to actually fall in love with me...but maybe this was me taking a chance in case he never does.His response was slow, but it came. His hand slowly went to my back, and he slowly parted my lips, invading slowly.He didn't let it last long, maybe because he was considering me, or maybe because he just wasn't so inclined to kissing me.Whichever one it was, he slowly moved away from me and sucked his lips in. I slowly opened my eyes too, and to relieve the awkwardness, I smiled.It worked, because he seemed a little less tense."Things will work out for you, Austin. You deserve to have things work out for you."He nodded, then swept his hair up and placed it back
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Time To Leave
The night darkened slowly, and we grew even more silent. He didn't seem like he had intention of sleeping yet, and for some reason I stayed awake."Austin?""Yeah?" We were both whispering for no reason."It wasn't from that kiss.""What?"I swallowed and turned to him. "I didn't fall in love with you from that first kiss.""Then?"I smiled. "It was much earlier."His gaze penetrated mine, and he said nothing. He turned away, breaking the eye contact. There, I could see all the walls he'd put up for himself. We fell silent again, and the topic naturally hung in the air, then dissipated. Like it hadn't even been said at all. The night passed slowly, and sometime through the night, I let sleep take over.I let my eyes flutter open to the sound of hushed voices. There seemed to be an argument, and I opened my eyes slowly. From my limited, sleepy vision, I saw Austin.He had his back to me, and he had his head raised slightly. Facing him was Lilia and she had her hands on her waist.My
The Alpha's Substitute Luna That's A Good Girl
I gulped nervously as the door came unlocked. He turned to look at me, then gave me a small reassuring nod. I nodded too, swallowing the fear I felt. I watched him place his hand on the door knob, then slowly turned it.The click sound came, and he tightened his grip on his gun. Was he going to shoot to kill? I swallowed. That means there must have been intentional about killing us too.I held on to his shirt as he finally opened the door, then stepped out. I stepped out with him, just as a rogue stood from his sitting position across from us."Where did you..." He didn't finish it, and Austin aimed at his leg and shot it. My eyes went wide as the blood splattered and the man went down in a bloodcurling scream.It would definitely alert others. Austin pushed me towards the open door, just as the sound of feet started nearing us.I held his hand, urging him to come with me.He turned, so we were facing the door, and he was in front of me. We walked slowly, till we reached the door."A
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Caught
"Austin?" I touched his back, but he didn't respond. Even his breath was gone. I started to panic. I could still hear the approaching footsteps and the roar of engines."Austin? Hey, wake up. Alpha Austin." I shook him, my hand feeling around his back as I did.I came up on moisture, somewhere around the left side of his back, a little above his waist. I pulled my hand away and brought it to my field of vision. Blood."Austin. Austin, please. Austin."Tears filled my eyes again as I shook him, but his body was limp, and he was too heavy for me to carry.The footsteps had gotten much closer, and I hugged his body to me. I would die before they touched Austin."Hazel?" It was Simon trying to link with me."Are you here?" I said, crying. "Please tell me you are here.""I am not. The beta and the pack's troops are there. I hope you come out safe."I nodded, and hugged Austin's body to myself. The footsteps were upon us now, and I could see the shadows of people cast on us by the sun.My b
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Was I Really Crying?
I gulped, finally realizing. Even though it disgusted me that while Lily's brother and Catherine's long time lover and mate was probably fighting to stay alive, they were back here, showing a video of me admitting to not being his mate. It was disgusting, and it gave some of Austin's words a meaning I never expected they could have."Grand alpha..." I started to say, and took a step forward.He took a step backward, then spat on the floor between us. I closed my eyes at it and I heard Lily chuckle."How dare you? How dare you even move closer? Have you forgotten your place as an omega? Are you now delusional because Austin has foolishly brought you to live in our house?" He asked, his eyes wide with anger."I didn't do it because I wanted to, I...""Now you are even trying to frame Austin because he is currently indisposed? He can't speak for himself? How did I not notice how cunning you were?"I bit down on my lips, tears filling my eyes again. "Of course. What was I thinking? Austin
The Alpha's Substitute Luna The Promise
Lily came back later, and spilled my things in front of me. She might have run out of hurtful words to say, because she just threw them at me and walked away. I didn't pay attention to it, just stayed there, on my knees, my chest clenching with the pain. "Hazel." I looked up to the voice. Eric was standing there, his eyes sad. "I heard what happened to you and Austin. And also the whole mate thing." I only sighed and said nothing. "I am sorry. Let me escort you to the pack house." "No." The adamance in my voice surprised even me. "I am not going anywhere till they let me see him. I just want to see him." He squatted to my height with a sigh. "I am sorry. I don't know how it happened, but I am sure you were not at fault. For now, just please let's go to the pack house." He held my hand to stand me up, but I yanked it away, his nail mistakenly digging into my flesh. But the pain was nothing in comparison to the one I felt inside. "I have to see Austin. I have to see him at lea
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Seeing Austin
Eve brought me closer and wrapped her hand around me, her hand patting my back. I didn't know how to feel. Happy that I was finally seeing him or sad about the way I was going to see him?I let go of her and leaned back on my bed. I heard Eve stand up and leave, and I was left with Simon amd Eric.Silence fell between us, and I was too preoccupied to even make an effort to change it."What do you think will happen now, Hazel?" Eric suddenly asked and looked up to me."I don't know." I said with a shrug. "For now, all I want is to see Austin. Everything else will come after that."Eric looked at Simon then shrugged. "Fine, Hazel. I will come see you tomorrow and take you to him. For now, I will try and see him too before going back home."I nodded and thanked him, then let my head rest as he walked out of the room. I wasn't really digesting anything well. Be it the pain or what they were saying to me. Today has happened so fast, from being with Austin and then now having to probably s
