Noah's povSitting in my office, I can't help but think about those Hazel eyes which have been haunting me in the past five years. Five years of separation and every blood moon, I have to fight against my beast from taking over. My beast, Ryker has been losing his sanity with each passing day. There are a few things I regret in life and my biggest regret is hurting her and kicking her in the curb. She was destined to be mine but because I thought she wasn't good for me, I treated her as shit and chose another as my mate. Serena was everything I needed in a woman. Smart, beautiful and powerful. She was a whole package but Ryker thought otherwise or should I say, she proved me otherwise. Two years into our marriage, I found out that she was cheating on me and that's not even the worst part, she was here on a plan with her mate, Alpha Drake of Redmoon pack. The plan was simple: poison me and take over my pack. Luckily, her plan was discovered and you have to ask about her tragic
I stood up abruptly and started following her. "Where are you going to? We have not finished our meeting." I heard Drake's voice. I did not turn to look back as I was on a mission. My mission was to find Hazel in whatever hole she had run to. Was it a coincidence or just good luck? I had come here to negotiate with Drake and had ended up finding my long lost mate. But I knew something, this was a second chance given to me to make things right and I wasn't going to let it slide.I pushed a few people that were in front of me to make way. One guy yelled obscenities but I did not care, I wanted to find Hazel before she could disappear again from my life. I didn't know I missed her so much until I saw her. My beast was pushing through in an attempt to take control but I wasn't about to let him free. I don't trust him one bit when it comes to Hazel. I can't have his longing ruin things for us. Coming across the only door she disappeared into, I tried Pushing it open only to realize that
“ Hazel please, I am begging you, don't do this. I am so sorry." Noah said while still in pain. Being an Alpha, why did it seem like the pain was too much. Usually, a rejection doesn't hurt an alpha like it affects omegas.He had run after me outside.I had escaped outside thinking that he would go back to his drinking and leave me alone but he was adamant."Stop following me or I will scream.” I threatened.“Please listen to me.” He pleaded.I stopped to look at him before saying, "I hate you so much I wish you were dead. I do not want to hear anything you have to say." I didn't mean it,deep down I knew that I would never wish anyone bad. Especially when that person was the father of my kids. It didn't matter what he did to me in the past. He deserved pain but death was out of the topic.I just wanted him to leave me alone. Seeing him again was filling my mind with dark clouds that weighed down on my soul."You don't mean that. Please, you are my mate!" He said while looking at me with
Chapter EightI arrived home tired and worn out. It had been a long night; from the fight I had with Noah, to the rude and stubborn client I attended to. I was so ready for bed, other things could wait. The only thing I needed to do was check on the twins. They were my lifeline, the only reason I was working hard. I needed to do everything I could for their survival and safety.I tiptoed into their room, careful not to wake them up. My girl was a light sleeper; any slight noise could wake her up. I did not want that. It made me happy to see them sleeping peacefully and soundly. I wished I could maintain the peace and stability we had started having in this city. I had vowed not to disrupt their lives again. My vows were going to be broken because of Noah.His appearance back in my life had made me make a spur of the moment decision. I did not want him to get near my kids or even know that they existed. I did not know how he would react if he knew he had kids and I was really not willin
Chapter NineDrake POVThis woman looked familiar. I had seen her somewhere but could not just place it. Her scent, which was warm and inviting, smelt familiar. I continued staring at her for a few seconds. She was beautiful, hazel eyes, a striking face and a mouth to die for. I was sure she was not one of my conquests because I would not have forgotten about her. Her face was too striking to forget. A man, especially an alpha, never forgets his prey.The issue was still bugging me but I decided to shelve it. I had not come to the office to socialise with workers who were beneath me.“Hazel, please ensure you see me after work.” I said before heading to my office.“Yes sir.” She answered politely.It was her voice, the way she said ‘yes sir’ that brought back the memories. She was the lady from the V-Spot club. It was all coming back to me. She was the same lady that Noah had followed to the other room. I did not hear whatever they had been talking about but I knew it was something se
Chapter TenNoah’s POVThe sound emanating from my chest was more of a growl than a groan. It was like my pain was caught between my two sides; the human and the wolf side. I did not know what to do. My wolf was starting to go crazy and I did not like it. I knew it was only a matter of time before I turned rogue. A rogue alpha was a danger to his people. These people needed to trust me enough to tell me their troubles. They could not do that when I was in a state of madness.The thought of Hazel was driving me crazy. She was near yet still so far, out of my reach. I wanted her with the intensity of fire and the fierceness of a storm. One thing was hindering me from seeking her out though; I was afraid of being rejected and humiliated. If only I could get an assurance that she would not reject me again, I would have already gone to her.“Alpha, your water.” A voice called out.Startled from my thoughts about Hazel, my hands flailed and I ended up knocking the jug of water from the maid
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 12Hazel’s POVI had woken up five minutes ago and was wondering why my alarm was not going off. The curtains were thick so I could not see the exact position of the sun. I pulled my phone from the bedside table to check the time. My eyes widened when I saw the time. I was late for work. It was ten minutes to my clocking time and I had not even taken a shower. This was a new job and I could not afford to get fired. There were no jobs that were readily available for me so I had to get ready faster.I went into the bathroom and hurriedly took a shower. I picked the nearest dress and put it on. I was going to skip breakfast because I had no time to make something. I opened the door and almost collided with Lucas.“I am so sorry. I was in a hurry. I did not see you there.” I apologized before raising my head.“It’s okay. I am the one who should apologize. I wanted to surprise you with breakfast before you left for work.” Lucas said.“That is very kind of you Lucas, thank you. You
