Chapter 10

Author: Crystal K
Fabian's POV

I began a frantic search for Hazel.

"Send out all the trackers!" I ordered my Beta. "Search every neutral city, every border town!"

"Yes, Alpha."

Three days later, he returned with disturbing news.

"Alpha, it's strange. All traces of Luna Hazel have been wiped clean by a powerful force. Our trackers can't catch her scent at all. It's like she's being personally shielded by the Moon Goddess."

"Impossible!" I slammed my fist on the table. My Alpha aura flared, but a wave of weakness washed over me, and my power fizzled out.

My Beta stared at me in shock. He must have felt it too.

At the same time, I found myself growing more and more irritated with Gloria.

Her scent, her cloying voice—it all started to grate on my nerves.

My very wolf, the beast that was supposed to be primal and instinctive, was rejecting her.

"Fabian, what's wrong? You've been so cold to me lately," she complained, stamping her foot.

I looked up at her, realizing for the first time how grating her presence

    Hazel's POVAs I settled into Rhys's sports car, I finally let out a breath I didn't know I was holding."That was a masterful performance," Rhys said, the corner of his mouth twitching as he pulled away from the curb. "As your co-star, I believe I'm owed a celebratory drink. Or three."I couldn't help but laugh. "What kind of reward do you want?""Dinner," he said seriously. "A proper dinner with me.""That's it?""I have other requests, but dinner first."He took me to the most exclusive French restaurant in the city.The candlelight flickered, the wine was rich and fragrant, and the entire atmosphere was so romantic it made my heart race."Is today a special occasion?" I asked."It's my birthday," he said, pouring two glasses of wine. "Thirty-one.""Your birthday? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I felt a little flustered. "I didn't get you a gift…""I don't need a gift," he said, his gaze warm. "You being here is the best gift I could ask for.""You'll make me blush.""Then blush,"

    I returned to the pack a ghost. A dead man walking.But I had one final duty to perform.I summoned the entire pack. Gloria would face a public trial at the tribunal.On the trial stage, a massive enchanted crystal flared to life, projecting the evidence for all to see: Gloria’s transaction records with the Shadowmancer Coven, every venomous message she had sent to Hazel, and the proof of every treacherous plot she had orchestrated.The pack's shock morphed into a collective roar of fury."Traitor!""Vicious snake!""To think we cherished such a viper in our midst!"Gloria’s parents, my pack’s most respected Beta officers, were ashen-faced. Her mother let out a piercing shriek and fainted the moment she saw the evidence.Her father aged twenty years in an instant. He crumpled to the ground, his hollow eyes fixed on the girl he had raised, muttering, "What have we done... Oh, by the Goddess, what have we done..."The truth finally crashed down on them. They had shoved their own flesh

    Fabian's POVBy the time the private jet landed, it was dusk the next day.I didn't rest. I went straight to the address my Beta had given me.The central business district. A forty-story skyscraper."Sterling Covenant Strategic Firm, 40th Floor."I stared at the name on the building directory, my heart hammering in my chest.She was really here.Not only was she alive, but she had built her own power base."Sir, can I help you?" the receptionist asked politely."I'm here to see Hazel Sterling.""Do you have an appointment?""No, but I'm her…" I paused. "I'm her friend."Friend?I didn't even have the right to be her friend anymore."I'm sorry, sir, but Ms. Sterling isn't in the office right now," the receptionist said. "She just stepped out.""When will she be back?""I'm… not sure."I had no choice but to wait by the entrance.One hour. Two hours. Three hours.Night fell, and the city lights came on.Just when I thought I wouldn't see her today, a black sedan pulled up to the buildin

    Hazel's POVThe summit ended close to midnight.As Rhys and I stepped out of the hotel, the cool night air of the city greeted us."How was tonight?" he asked."It exceeded all my expectations," I said sincerely. "Thank you for the opportunity.""You earned it yourself," he said, opening the car door. "You left quite an impression on everyone."It was true. I had received at least five business cards and three collaboration proposals tonight.Prince Aden had even scheduled a meeting with me for next week."By the way, about our contract," Rhys said suddenly. "I'm ready to sign."I was taken aback. "So soon?""I've seen what I needed to see," he smiled. "Your professional capabilities are beyond question."The car moved through the dark streets, the neon lights casting fleeting shadows across the windows."I'll have my lawyers send over the contract tomorrow," he said as he drove. "I have another proposal," he said, his voice dropping to a low, intimate timber. "A more... permanent one.

    Hazel's POVThe next morning, Lydia burst into my office."Hazel! I did some research on the Blackwood family last night," she said, waving a stack of papers. "This Rhys Blackwood is a living legend in the supernatural world!""And most importantly," Lydia lowered her voice, " Rhys was known for never working with new, small firms. The fact that he's even 'considering' us means you must have been incredible last night!""You think we have a shot?""Of course we do!" she said excitedly. "You have to follow up immediately."Just as she said that, my communicator rang.It was an unknown number."Sterling Covenant Strategic Firm, this is Hazel.""Good morning, Hazel," Rhys's voice came through the line. "I hope I'm not disturbing you."Lydia's ears perked up, her eyes wide with excitement."Not at all. I have a moment.""I'd like to invite you to an event," he said. "There's a summit tonight that I think you might find interesting.""What kind of summit?""The Global Supernatural Leaders'

    Hazel's POV"Fate really is a funny thing," Rhys said with a smile, pulling out a chair for me. "The woman who spilled coffee on me at the airport turns out to be the strategist I've been looking for.""Maybe it was meant to be," I said, sitting down gracefully. "But for now, perhaps we should talk business.""No rush," he said, pouring two glasses of red wine. "Let's eat first. I'd like to get to know my business partner better."The dinner was exquisite—pan-seared duck breast, truffle pasta, and an array of fine side dishes.Just as I was about to take a bite of the pasta, Rhys suddenly said, "Wait. This has rosemary in it."I paused. "What's wrong?""You don't like rosemary, do you?" he said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "I'll have them remake it for you."I stared at him, stunned.How did he know I didn't like rosemary?We'd only met once, and it was a complete accident."How did you know that?""At the airport, you specifically asked for no rosemary syrup in
