CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREEHAZEL My heart roared, flaring dangerously to life in a new way, but the engine powered down just as quickly as it had rumbled to life. The man who had let out the terrible roar wasn't Darius, but Xander. โWeโre in trouble.โ Isis whispered. The panther stopped at the sound of the beta, and changed direction. It pounced out of the water, and shook all the water off its fur. Xander didn't cower, nor did he hesitate to go straight into battle with the panther. โDo something, Hazel. Don't wait to exhaust your strength.โ Isis said, and with a deep grunt, and badly wobbling arms, I managed to hoist myself onto the rock. Snarls and growls from Xander and the panther erupted into the air, and my heart pounded hard, hoping Xander wouldn't get hurt.If he did, then I was going to be in deep trouble.โDo you think he can handle the animal?โ I asked, when I was safely on the large rock.โHeโs trained for war. You should be worried about us, not him. He looks so mad that

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOURDARIUS Melissa and I sat across the breakfast table. Just the two of us. It made it feel unnaturally empty. โSo how are you feeling today?โ I asked, trying to stir up conversations. โI haven't been able to do much by myself honestly. I get cranky whenever the maids come by, so there's no one to fix my hair, no one to pat me to sleep, alsoโฆ my fingers feel so heavy. It's hard to lift a spoon.โ She said, looking so sour. โAnd I wouldn't want to trouble you with these things.โ I felt so bad, seeing her that way. โCome closer.โ I said, and she made to stand up, but plopped back into her seat, looking at me with a little shock.โItโฆ still hurts to rise.โ She said, and wheeled over to me slowly, positioning herself next to me.I took a deep breath, and pushed the fork into a buttered roll, cutting it up nicely with a knife. It was something I'd never done beforeโ feeding someone. She opened her mouth slightly, and took it gently from me. A faint blush covered her ch

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVEMELISSAIt wasn't the way Xander stiffened that made me stop. Rather, it was the sudden dark aura that I feltโ Dark, overbearing, strong, and imperial.Just as Xander turned, I also turned to see Darius watching us. My stomach twisted in knots. Xander bowed, and my fingers found each other, fidgeting, as I tried to bring back the look of hopelessness onto my face.How much did he hear? His face seemed just as stiff as usual. Did he hear anything at all?โWhat have you been doing?โ He asked, walking towards us with a cold gaze. My lips trembled a bit. He couldn't see that. I let my head droop, helping my hair fall pitifully around my face.โI was trying to cheer her up, by sharing a story my mother shared to her friends.โ Xander said easily.Wow. Lying was second nature to him. He was getting better and better at lying everyday. Especially to Darius. He told fearless lies. Lies that slipped out wherever and whenever he needed it.โAh, I see.โ Darius muttered, but hi

King Darius is going on a short trip, so I must be with him. You will need these, so I had toโฆโ he paused, counting the drugs, and I stared at them. โBut I'll need prescriptions.

I will calculate the amount of pills that ought to remain when I'm back, so don't try anything funny.โ He warned, and I nodded.It was my own health we were talking about. Why would I do anything to jeopardize it?Xander left shortly, and it

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVENDARIUS' POV.โThis is a huge issue of concern for the Pack as a whole. This has taken way too long. You have come of age a long time ago.โ The voice echoed through the large empty room, bouncing off the walls, and the large meeting table. The elders continued talking. Just like a relay race, they kept on passing the baton of words to each other. When one was done talking, another picked up from where the conversation stopped. I could barely get a word in. โThis is a sign of weakness, and vulnerability that we can't continue to ignore.โWith each word said was a pound in my head. I couldn't think straight. My head was throbbing like a drum was being hit ferociously inside it. Yet, the men would not stop. I rubbed my temples, and sighed, hating how the headache sank onto one eye. Even the soft throne seat I was seated on suddenly seemed like the most uncomfortable thing on earth. โThe enemies will see this as an opportunity. If we don't have an heir, then they

Could I actually manage to escape?The day had finally arrivedโ the day when we were going to fight. โWhโฆ what is wrong with you, Darius? Why are you so cranky?โ My voice shook no matter how I tried to steady it, โWe should talk when you're in a better mood, not when you're like this.โ I said, wheeling my chair backwards. โAnswer me; is your situation absurd, or is it not? Four months have passed, and you're still this way. Youโre a damned wolf! It shouldn't take you so long to heal. So who do you think you're fooling?โ He growled, stepping closer. โNothing is absurd about this. I went through trauma. Shock, Darius. Do you know how it feels to lose the child you were so desperate to see?โ I asked, trying to pull on the victim card. I'd enjoyed his attention so much that I wasn't even willing to stop. I could have gone on in the wheelchair for God-knows-how-long.โEno

CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEHAZEL'S POV.The liquid continued to gush out, and I feared the acrid smell of blood would fill the house. What would I do if I lost the only reminder of Darius?I rose, and pulled up my gown, looking at my soaked legs. Isis was the first to break a sigh of relief. I'd peed on myself. Fear had taken over, and had given my bladder rest. โBut we still can't be too sure all is fine. We have to be very careful. This pain isn't natural. We shouldn't be feeling any pain.โ Isis pointed, and I tried to rise, only to be stopped by the sharp tug in my belly, like a knot around my intestines had been pulled tight. โWhat if we indeed lost the baby, and this isn't pee?โ I asked, suddenly feeling panic rise.โThen get some drugs!โGiving deep grunts and winces, I pulled myself to my feet, holding onto the door, as I rose. โDamn!โ I grunted, and began to walk while bent over.

CHAPTER NINETYDARIUS' POV.{FOUR YEARS LATER}I walked out of the room, and saw Melissa turn hastily, and rush down a flight of stairs. Better as she did that. Ever since our fight four years ago, every last bit of tolerance I had for her had turned into pure hatred. She was the reason for every misfortune I had. Not even the elders could say it to my face to produce an heir with her. โKing Darius,โ Xander called, as I bumped into him on the way. โYes?โ I asked, crankily. I'd rather no one said a word to me if possible.โAlpha Craig is asking for a meeting. Would you like to meet him?โโAre you asking me? Just do as you've done all these years, and see the old fart in my stead. Don't call me for anything. Do it on your own, and drop the records in my study when you're done.โ I snapped, and walked past him.As I strode past the halls, the maids all stopped to bow, with shaking legs and arms.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINEHAZEL'S POV {One Year Later}I pushed the baby in the cot, hearing him moan and look up at me with twinkling eyes. โSweet Dennis, you know you want to sleep. Don't give mom a headache. You know I should be with the twins, right? It's their birthday, and you had me with you all day.โ I said, touching his cheeks, and he giggled. His giggleโ my freedom.After Xander had been banished, and Melissa had been cast into the dungeon, I'd been so traumatized. She'd truly given birth to a baby, but it had been given to Xander. That was the last thing Darius could do to compensate him as a Beta as he sent him off to never return. As for Melissa? She remained in the dungeon. The moment she gave birth to the baby, she hated it. She complained the baby didn't give her freedom and seeing it made her remember Xander whom she painted to be a traitor and a snitch. Staying in the dungeon had broken her and the maids whispered of how she murmurs inaudible words,

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTMELISSA'S POV I yawned, stepping out of the room to get myself something to eat. Perhaps, it was just my intuition, but the house felt strangely quiet. The fridge light reflected on my face as I pulled it open, and I saw that Hazel's food for the day hadn't been given to her. โAre you planning to starve her now that we're going to kill her?โ I called out, โWell, good riddance!โMy voice bounced back to me in echoes, and I stepped back, โXander?โ My feet crossed the living room quickly to the room he usually slept, and I pushed open the door. He wasn't there. Did he really go to a hotel, or was he down in the basement with Hazel?Turning around, I went straight to the basement, and pushed it open, looking inside as I switched on the light.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENHAZELโS POV I couldn't believe it when Xander was loosing the ropes from me. I was finally free. My hands were so white, and devoid of blood, completely lifeless. After freeing my legs, he helped me rise to my feet, but I fell back almost immediately. He caught me, and we waited a while for me to be able to regain the feeling in my legs. Walking was strange and difficult after being tied up for so long, but after taking a few steps, I finally began to get the hang of it, my heart pounding in excitement as we left the house. Xander took me in his car to the mansion, and I rubbed my hands in anxiety. I would see my kids. I would see Darius. Night had fallen completely by the time we got to the mansion, and when the guards at the gate saw Xander, they gave a signal, and different guards came out from different angles, surrounding us with weapons trained on us. โBeta Xander, you have beenโฆโ A guard began.โI know.

She had done way too much. She had said way too much!My chest burned intensely, as a wild heat rampaged around, spreading deep within me, like a fire racing down a forest, burning everything in sight. Damn everything. Damn it all. I wouldn't let her have what she wanted. My baby! She was going to give it to Darius. And then killed Hazel? That was impossible. Yes, I'm mad at Hazel, but I still love her and wouldn't just let her die. The thought ate at me for hours, digging deep inside of me, probing me, disturbing me, until I finally realized I couldn't stay still. Hazel couldn't just die like that.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE MELISSAโS POV Yes, Three long weeks went past, and my life became so static, and stagnant. Seeing Hazelโs face everyday honestly made me want to puke. At times, Iโd meet her praying for her kids, and that would anger me more. Sheโd become a kind of punching bag for me because I vented my full anger on her whenever I felt like it. As for Xander, I didnโt know how he was doing it. For the time being, there was no trouble even with Darius having the kids, so I guessed all was going well. Perhaps heโd been avoiding Darius, although that was almost impossible and risking.However, how he handled it wasnโt really my problem. The only thing heโd become useful for was pleasing my bodyโs sexual desires. When he wasnโt doing that, everything else he was doing naturally became annoying.

He would not eat, and get me worried so much that Iโd have to ask Theresa to find out what he wants, and take care of him so he wouldnโt get sick. Recently, things got worse. Azella, who was the more receptive one suddenly locked herself up, and wouldnโt leave her room. It was what baffled me the most, and caused me sleepless nights. A knock sounded on my door, and Theresa came in, holding Azel, who had a lollipop in his mouth, and a scowl on his face. โYes?โ โYou asked for my report. Azella still wonโt come out, and keeps crying. She won't let anyone talk to her.โ She said, and I pushed aside the hectic work on my desk, with a sigh, before rising to my feet. Damn.

Things I wanted to do with my heirsโtake first steps, go out somewhere nice, hear them call my name. The girl smiled happily, her cheeks turning a deep pink as her adorable smile reached her ears. However, the boy had a deep-seated frown on his face, making him look more like me instead of Hazel. I raised my hand, and the guards following all came to stand behind me.โTake the kids in.

It was when his lips touched mine that I knew itโmy body ached to be loved. It ached to be wanted, wanted to be remembered. I'd spend so many years aching for Darius who never looked my way that I forgot what my body craved, and needed. My tears dropped as the kiss between me and Xander ran deeper, like we wanted to devour the whole of us, tongues gliding over tongues, over lips.
