Terrence found himself in the hospital close to Alton Academy. It was the only place he could think of when asking his men to tell one of the witches to create a portal for him. He had no idea how his parents might have treated Azalea had he taken her to his own pack clinic.
Carrying Azalea into the hospital he went to a nurse."Please ... it's an emergency! My friend and I were driving and we had an accident. It was a hit and run driver!" Terrence explained quickly, hoping the nurse did not ask too many questions. The nurse quickly had some paramedics take Azalea on a stretcher into a room."You have to fill this form out," said the nurse handing it to him. “We need to know what pack she belongs too as well.” After filling it out and writing all the information he knew about Azalea, Terrence went into the room where Azalea was being examined. He’d written that she was a member of his pack, and knew that since he was the future alpha of the pack, the hospital would not ask too many questions. She was still unconscious but there was a doctor there."She'll have to get stitches on her stomach, she’s got a broken rib which punctured her lung and her arm is broken pretty badly and healing at a bad angle. We will have to reset her arm. I'd say she was attacked," the doctor said, looking closely at Terrence and taking in his bloody clothes. However, it was more than apparent that his patient needed immediate attention so he took Azalea into the operating room and Terrence knew he needed his friends near him. The only one who wasn’t busy with the after math of the battle was Sean who asked a witch to open up a portal for him so he could be near Terrence.“Sybl retreated after you left with Azalea,” Sean explained, looking solemnly at his best friend and future alpha. Terrence sighed forlornly. “So everyone knows it’s Azalea that was Sybl's secret weapon?” Terrence queried sadly. Sean chose his next words vary carefully, fully aware of Terrence's past with her. “Well, Remi, Silas and I knew. Her red-hair gave it away immediately,” Sean explained.”We made up your core-team and were the only ones actually paying attention to your fight. But apparently Sybl retreated the minute you took her away. Everyone figured there is some sort of history if you left the way you did. Silas was also there and started cursing the hell out of Sybl and her warriors.” Terrence laughed bitterly, yup that sounded like Silas all right. Sean waited with him in solitude and after what seemed like hours, Azalea was brought out. "She'll be conscious within a few hours," the doctor replied. "She's out of the danger zone now. Her ribs are healing properly too."Terrence waited by her bedside. Sean had left by now and it was the middle of the night when Azalea stirred."Oww," she groaned.Her eyes were closed and her hands reached for her ribs that were badnaged up. "Azalea! You're all right!" Terrence exclaimed and hugged her. When Azalea heard those words and that voice, her eyes flew open immediately. Azalea thought to herself that she must be dreaming. But when she felt those all too familiar arms around her, she knew it was Terrence. She stiffened as his all too familiar scent hit her. Ofcourse he’d had it masked earlier withs ome stupid spell. Her eyes glowed yellow as she realized that he was her mate. Terrence was her destined mate!But that didn’t undo the past. She quickly checked to make sure that her scent was still masked. He wouldn’t be able to tell she was his mate as long as the spell on her did not wear off. It was a neat bit of magic done by Sybl, much more effective than temporarily masking one’s scent with sage. She pulled away from Terrence in anger."Where the hell have you taken me?" she hissed."You're at the hospital close to Alton Academy. I brought you here when you fell..." Terrence said quietly."You mean when you attacked me," Azalea retorted, looking around the hospital room. "Take me back!" Azalea exclaimed and noticed that her arm was in a cast. "I hate you! Go away!" Azalea shrieked with tears freely flowing down her cheeks. "You are a self-centered, ignorant bastard and I hate you! You used me and played with my feelings!" she exclaimed sorrowfully and let the silence linger between them. Finally, in a much quieter tone she whispered out, "Why?""Azalea I didn't use you. I used to and still do love you," Terrence whispered out."Liar! Then why did you break up with me? And you never told me you were the future Alpha of The Aberdeen Pack! Was it all a stupid joke to you?!" Azalea asked, still yelling at him."Azalea no! There was no joke! It was all done to protect you! I was supposed to become an Alpha and my mum…she said our pack would never accept you…" he explained pitifully. "Damn you Terrence! To protect me from what? I'm a big girl and can take care of myself. You.... you were always a mummy’s boy,” Azalea replied with a grumble, then went on in a sad tone, "The very next day my parents died. I was all alone in the world after that day. It seemed as if everyone I truly cared for had left me. My best friend Klarissa had already left to be with King Daemon and begin training to be our kingdom’s Luna Queen. I could not and would not burden her with my issues. Then Sybl came and offered me a second family, a home and protection. She was the only one there for me after that terrible day. I almost committed suicide once when it all became too much to bear. Then who was there for me? Sybl and her dark coven...my dark coven!!" Tears were running down Azaleas face and her eyes had become red.Terrence made a move to hug her."Don't you dare touch me Terrence Edward Evans! I hate you! I hate you!" she said while using her unbroken arm to pound her fist on his chest in hopes of hurting him, but Azalea was too weak from battle and her blows felt like nothing to Terrence."Ssshhh Azalea I'm sorry I really am," he replied and pulled her into a strong hug. Azalea made one last weak effort to pull back but she was to exhausted. Exhausted from her fight, exhausted from hurting for so long, exhausted from pretending she did not enjoy the thrill of being in Terrence's arms. Terrence who she now knew was her mate. Because due to her human genes, she hadn't shift until she turned 18. And she could only sense her mate after she shifted. Terrence had not been able to sense her as his mate either because she hadn't shifted yet when they'd been dating. She sat there with Terrence hugging her and her head on his chest while she cried silently. She finally let go and was letting out all the pain she had been feeling ever since they had broken up while Terrence ran his fingers through her hair whispering soothing words to her. When Azalea had finally calmed down, Terrence lifted her head up slightly so their lips were inches apart and Azalea hesitantly brought her lips up to meet his. Their lips met and Azalea felt as if everything was suddenly alright. As their kiss grew, she felt Terrence stiffen and suddenly tear his lips away from her. “Mate,” he growled out, eyes flowing yellow and surprise evident on his face. Azalea grimaced, realizing that she'd forgotten that if he kissed her, he would have sensed her immediately as his mate.Terrence's eyes glowed yellow and his face was one of pure shock. Azalea grimaced. She’d forgotten that if he kissed her, he’d be able to tell she was his mate. Well the cat was out of the bag now. Terrence was also surprised. Never in a million years had he expected something like this to happen. But in retrospect it made sense now. They'd always been best friends in school and that had quickly blossomed into love. A love that he hadn't been able to forget even a year later. Of course she was his mate. He wanted to kick himself for never realizing it sooner. Azalea looked warily at Terrence, wondering what he would do now. Was he going to reject her? But she was taken by surprise when his lips crashed into hers and his arms circled around her protectively. All her doubts seemed to disappear as she gave into the mate pull and melted against him, their lips moving against one another. Azalea opened her mouth and Terrence deepened their kiss, his tongue dancing with her. As the kiss
"Terrence you look like shit," said Silas as Terrence entered the flat from one of his long sad walks.Today was Valentines day. Terrence missed Azalea. "So would you if the person you loved most was out to kill you and take over your pack,” said Terrence."I know lets play a game. Wolf’s Challenge!" exclaimed Silas."I played that game the night I told Azalea-"Terrence was cut off by Remi."Don't be so...sulky. Terrence you need to have some fun. Maybe Wolf’s Challenge will cheer you up."Silas brought the game in. Wolf’s Challenge consisted of a board and a deck of cards. Each card had a challenge on it and points according to how hard each challenge was. However many points was on the card, you'd move your pawn, usually in the shape of an animal, the same number of spaces. The first person to reach the end of the board won. If you refused to do a challenge, you would have to move back two spaces. "Right I get to be the black wolf," said Silas, setting his pawn on the board. He pi
Azalea had water droplets in her hair and the moonlight shining on her seemed to give the illusion that she was shimmering. The merriment in her eyes shone through and made Terrence feel a tug to her he found downright terrifying. For a moment, Terrence was mesmerized and his gaze dropped to her lips so close to his. Azalea broke out into a smile and the moment between them was broken. "You scare to easily," said Azalea with a giggle. She did not notice the boys audible swallow or sharp intake of breath over her nearness to him. She put her arms down and looked up at him, her wet hair glistening in the moonlight. As Terrence stared at her, mesmerized by her beauty, she splashed him with water."Azalea that wasn't funny. Come on. Let’s go back inside," Terrence admonished, pulling his face away slightly from the water and her."Fine," grinned Azalea. She got out and put her night gown on."You need to dry off,” muttered Terrence, averting his gaze from where her hair soaked the fron
Azalea, wearing a plain black silk dress, walked down the street tiredly.Sybl had decided to send her on a mission with Devon. There was some nearby lone wolf who worked for the United Werewolf Kingdom that the Aberdeen pack belonged too. Sybl wanted this particular lone wolf of the way for some reason. He was rich, and Azalea suspected he'd been acting as a double spy and minting money. He was close to King Daemon and had previously been giving Sybl intel in exchange for protection once she took over all the packs. But now the man had ghosted Sybl after she'd retreated during the attack on the Aberdeen pack. Sybl didn’t take well to being ignored. She wanted to teach the wolf a lesson so that her other sources remained true to her. They stopped short at the man’s house that was being well guarded by some warriors from the Aberdeen pack. Odd how Aberdeen warriors were posted here. “These men have seen my face at the battle. If anyone sees me, they will alert Terrence,” Azalea whis
Terrence couldn't believe it. He had ,on pure instinct ,ended up here and there was Azalea. She'd ran directly into his arms and he could tell she'd been crying.They stared at each other for a good minute before Azalea firmly whispered, "Same time, same place," before pulling away from him and running down an alley. Terrence looked after her and then spotted Devon from the corner of his eye. Terrence quickly tried the door of the flower shop only to find it open and went inside of it. He watched from the shadows as Devon quickly disappeared into the alley that Azalea had gone into. He wanted nothing more than to rip Devon to peices and pull Azalea all the way back to his pack. But he knew he'd have to be patient. Tomorrow would come soon enough. ***"My Dark Mistress," murmured Azalea. "Mission complete.""Good," cackled Sybl. "I am glad you were finally able to complete a kill. I had sent Devon to make sure to complete the job incase you failed. But you have pleasantly surprised
Waking up the next morning, Azalea thought about what to do. She was loyal to Sybl and what would anyone loyal to Sybl do? Trap Terrence and turn Terrence in of course. Hand him over to Sybl to use as leverage but she couldn't. She just couldn't , so she decided to stay quiet.***"Idiot!" Sybl thundered."I'm sorry Mistress… I did not know she would appear," Devon murmured."Fix it!""How?""I don't care! Just fix it!""Mistress… it can't be f-""DO IT!” Sybl roared as green light pulsed around her angrily and hit Devon. Devon fell to the ground in agony."Mercy! Mercy!" Devon gasped from his position on the ground."I show no mercy," Sybl thundered.A crack of lightening came down and hit Devon, making him scream and writhe in pain. "Which is good," came Azaleas voice from the door way. She leaned against it, watching Devon suffer. But her heart wasn't in it. Not anymore. "Yes Azalea I found out about your little experience with Devon," purred Sybl. "Does he deserve mercy?"Aza
"You are our secret weapon," said the dark witch Sybl to a girl standing in the shadows. "When I give the signal you are to then and ONLY then come out of hiding. They cannot know about you... or my plan will be spoiled.""Yes my mistress," said a very attractive slim girl about the age of 18 with long red hair that was pulled into a bun. She had emerald eyes and crimson red lips. She was wearing black jeans, a tight black tank top and black boots."Good, good. You are to train one more time tonight and then you leave and rest. Be ready tomorrow," Sybl commanded, her own crimson lips compressing together into an evil smirk. It was eleven o clock at night and the young woman named Azalea was glad that she would be leaving. The dark witch had been training her personally for this battle. The battle where they would try and take over the nearby wolf pack. It was a test run. They would dominate them all, make the wolves submit. If successful, Sybl would begin taking over other packs all
Terrence was dodging every curse and obstacle thrown at him. Then suddenly his father stopped everyone. "You all are doing good!" the Alphas voice boomed. “We are lucky to have a few witches on our side to help us in this battle but now it is time for you to rest. Tomorrow, King Daemon has also promised to send us reinforcements to help in the fight against Sybl. We should be able to defeat her Dark Coven easily.” Terrence walked to the lockers near the training grounds to clean up. People around him were talking about the battle tomorrow but at the moment, he was thinking about something…. Or rather someone else.He remembered how he had broken up with Azalea to protect her. He was to go back home after graduation and his mother had advised him to break up with Azalea. He hadn’t wanted too. It had, in retrospect, been the biggest mistake of his entire life. "She is an aberration,” his mother had told him. “She is an omega wolf-witch hybrid with a human father! Nobody in the pack w
