Hazel's POV:I felt my soul leave my body and come back repeatedly as Felix said that. He was looking at me with so much disappointment written all over his face."You're a woman, you deceived us all." Kept ringing in my head as I settled into the bed.Felix was still looking at me but he didn't look at me with so much respect as he used to.Or was it not?He looked at me with intense curiosity like was piercing his eyes through my soul and it made me really uncomfortable.I needed to act fast. I needed to make him pledge his trust to me."Felix,""Yeah?""Can you promise me something?""That's something I'm good at doing but bring it on. What am I promising you?""Do not let Xavier know of this. He's going to hate me. Can you do that for me?"Felix stuttered at first before he cleared his throat and finally spoke. "That's not going to be possible, Hazel,"I raised my brow in askance. "Why?""Because he already knows."I was still for several seconds as I digested those four words. He

Hazel's POV;After much contemplation, I knew Colin was behind this. I had gone to see one of the men who had an idea of the robbery and after he had looked at me strangely, he finally gave me an answer.Tyler Fredo robbed in order. He didn't rob randomly. He had never done that. He had two other packs to rob before our pack. It was suspicious.If Colin had asked me to reveal my identity to Xavier, he must have known it wouldn't be an easy task for me. He must have seen it on my face and decided to pay Tyler to rob our pack next.No. He didn't.Or maybe he did. I had to know.I was glad to find out that Felix was not at the door so I went in, locked my door and changed into something decent. I still had to dress like a man as I didn't come with any dresses. I had also dressed like this to be able to meander through the path. If anyone saw the figure of a woman, they would know I was the one.So I put on my pants and a large sweater to cover my body properly as my breasts had gotten la

Xavier's POV: I was just settled in my study when I heard that Hazel had gotten into a fight with one of the men at the gates. I sighed and leaned back against my chair, confused on what to do. Well, I didn't want to see her so I commanded the man who had reported her to me to separate them himself. "She already left him but he's seriously wounded," The man said. "Then take care of him. When he's able to do anything,I need to see him," The man bowed before he left my study. As soon as he was gone, I stood to my feet and walked to my window. I wiped my hand over my jaw and placed it on my hip, wondering if I should go talk to her. After a few moments of contemplation, I decided to stay back in my study and leave him— her be. I couldn't sleep last night because I was really worried. How the hell was he a woman? Hazel was everything but a woman and as hard as I tried to make myself believe that it was true, I still couldn't come to terms. Hazel was the guy I had saved from being k

HAZEL'S POV:I raised my chin to the air, acting like his presence in this mansion wasn't affected by his statement, his eyes raking down my body or whatever he was capable of doing.He had a smug smile on his face as he slowly checked out all the paintings in the drawing room. I wanted to wipe that look on his face with a very hard punch but I knew he was far stronger than I was. I had to follow him with wisdom.Apart from being really powerful, he was cunning. If I did something that upset him, I knew there was a possibility of him blowing my cover and letting everyone know that I wasn't who I really put myself out there to be. I knew he could do that."These paintings are highly expensive," He said after a long moment of silence and looking through the paintings. "Van Gogh. Hmm, one could make a fortune from just stealing this," Then he turned to me like he had just gotten a great idea. "You haven't thought of stealing this? I mean, there's a lot to take from here, pay off Colin an

HAZEL's POV:I was in my room when I heard the noise outside. I had been thinking about how to cover up the painting Leon had stolen and recover it from him before it could be found.I had even tried to talk to him telepathically but he wasn't even responding. The Leon I knew would respond quickly but he wasn't even saying anything. And that was when I knew that he had really stolen it.Standing to my feet, I walked slowly to the door with ears perked up in curiosity. I could feel my heart beating hard against my chest as I knew that whatever was happening might be connected to Leon.I sighed heavily and slowly opened the door. Two guards rushed past the corridor and I turned to see that no one was there.I shut the door behind me and stepped out of my room. The noise was coming from the drawing room. My heart skipped and I knew I had some answering to do.Slowly, I walked towards the room and began to rehearse what I was going to say. I knew I had to lie because Xavier would want to
