Lucy's POV Two weeks!Two good weeks had passed me by, but it felt like a blur with the days passing by. Dominic turned stone cold, only focusing more on business and also working me till my limbs couldn’t handle it. Late night sleeping, and he keeps checking and treating me like I am his servant.Heck, even at his apartment, he just goes into work mode. Honestly, I am tired; I haven’t been able to get close to him like I thought I would. Those signals he sent my way just vanished as if they hadn’t been there. I wonder what went wrong?Had I gone too far when I pushed him away? Was that wake-up call for him?A sigh escaped my lips as I shook my head slowly. I put on my dress and heavily sprayed the perfume Lassandra gave me. I glanced at the content in the other bottle; I needed to ask for a refill. Two bottles had finished, and that’s because of how strong he is. Lassandra has made known that he is an Alpha; though not taking over a pack, he is still an Alpha born.‘What am I going
Liam's POV We got home earlier than expected. Kaden was jumping immediately. Hazel's scent wafted through my nose. I hastened my steps just so I could get to where she was; a smile glistened on my face when I saw her in the kitchen.Elara was helping her out, looking like Hazel got some stain on her body. It’s very cute to see her try something new; Hazel hated cooking. She’d told me the reason why, and it was the most hilarious reason ever.And now she is trying to learn, which is so cute, seeing her draped in an apron with her hair tied in a neat bun and two strands loose at the front. “Busy with something, uh?” I said calmly in a teasing tone.Hazel jumped up in fright as if she weren’t aware of my presence. She lost her balance, almost slipping, but I was fast enough to catch her before her butt landed on the floor.“You!” she half-yelled, hitting me on the chest while I helped her up before stealing a kiss. “Liam,” she shrieked, but I laughed.“So tell me, what are you doing?” I
Liam's POV Things have been good lately, with Hazel giving me a chance and the kids happy to start a new school. Today, I was having a meeting with the other Alphas. Slasher is becoming a pain in the ass. I thought he was something I could handle later, but with the complaints we are getting from the rogues and the threat, in addition to the missing people’s case, I knew I had to call a shot.All Alphas took their place at the table; their piercing eyes were on me. Neither knowing why I had assembled them here, when the next meeting was supposed to take place in the next three weeks.“I called everyone here because the matter at hand is an emergency,” I said and paused, my eyes taking in all of them. Slasher had a forced smile as he played with the ballpoint pen in his hand as if he were forced to be there and can’t wait to be out.“Is it regarding your mate? Want to perform another ritual?” Pascal, one of the alphas, asked while I shook my head.“This isn’t about my mate, but the r
Lucy's POV Today is going to be the day I get rid of my old life. The number of times I have tried to hold my grip together is countless. I thought he wasn’t interested in me, but the stolen glances and smirk he sent my way were mischievous.It made me wonder if he’d found anything or am I beginning to think a little about each expression he made my way?“Care for a coffee?” he offered, and I stared blankly at him.“Sure,” I responded after a second thought. I was supposed to lead him on and not try to push him away from me.“Black or you want some milk and sugar in it?” he inquired. Acting so sweet which is super weird because what i heard about him was the opposite.“You are weird,” I blurted out, not hiding how uneasy I felt around him.“You are acting differently from what I've heard, well apart from the night you called me stupid,” I snarled and he pushed his back letting out a short laugh which got me more annoyed. What’s funny about him calling me stupid?“I never saw you as s
Hazel's POV The first thought that entered my mind was to pull away from the kiss; instead, I did the opposite. I tugged him closer and deepened the kiss like my life depended on it. My hands found their way to the back of his neck, claws digging in, moans escaping from our lips. Our tongues clash, neither wanting to back out. It was so intense that I rolled over on him. My legs clutched tightly to his waist, and his hands were on my waist, one free sneaking up to my bosom, and before things went too far, I backed out. My chest was heaving hard as I tried to steady my breathing. He tried to initiate another one, but I stopped him. “It’s late; let’s go back,” I muttered. I could see the frustration on his face after being cockblocked. I thought he would plead for us to enjoy this moment—heck, if he’d beg, I would have given in, but he didn't, which was quite relieving and also not. I stood up and adjusted my clothes. “Should we race back?” he asked, his brows shooting up.If we had
Hazel's POV “This is what I've been missing out on,” Peculiar gasped as her eyes raked around the pack house. She still hasn't gotten out of her trance. Shifters in their wolf form moved around, all coming back from a run.The last red full moon was quite intense, and they needed to let some steam off. I too had my fair share of Liam and me together, which was crazy.I ought to have gone for a run, but I decided to stay with Peculiar since she was new here and Tate had resumed his work as the delta.“Here is so beautiful, and the people are welcoming,” she beamed, waving at a few shifters. They seemed to warm up to her but are quite distant when it comes to me.“Of course, it is,” I smiled and then focused on the serenity.“Mummy!” Mason yelled loudly, catching my attention. I turned in his direction to find him sitting on Liam’s wolf.My son looked so happy and proud sitting on his father; Maya was on Tate, focusing on his fur. “Mummy!” Mason called again, waving at me.I laughed an
