Chapter 21Drake’s POVI was seated in my office trying to calculate the profit margin we had had last week when someone knocked my office door. I was too busy and did not want to invite the person in but the knock persisted. I was going to punish that person. Didn’t they know, that if someone refused to let you in then you were supposed to leave because they did not want to talk to you?“Come in.” I said before stretching my arms to eradicate the exhaustion I was feeling.The door opened slowly to reveal the front desk manager in her skirt suit. I was angry at her for interrupting my work.“What is it that you want that cannot wait until I am done? Have you forgotten about my rule?” I asked. “And you better have a good explanation.” I hated being interrupted because I had specific time allocated to specific things.“I am sorry sir but it’s…” Someone pushed her and she almost fell down.“You fool, how dare you call the security on me? Don’t you know who I am?“ It was Roxie. Now I unde

Hazel’s POVI had racked my brain for days trying to think of who would have hated me so much to threaten my children. An answer came to me one evening when I was brushing Kyla’s hair. I had totally forgotten my encounter with Roxie. I was not sure if she was going to act on her threat. I could not quit my work for her when I had just started to enjoy the benefits of working a decent job. All I had to do was ignore and stay clear off Drake’s path. I was not going to let Roxie actualize her plans and harm my children.I managed to avoid Drake for almost a week. I would go to work early, finish any work that needed his signature and take them to his office when he was still away. Once, I came to work and found him in the office. I had to bribe the only person I was friendly with to take the documents to him. It was like a cat and mouse game. Whenever I saw him coming, I would rush to the washroom or kitchen to get water. I barely responded to his greetings. “Are you okay? You barely st

Hazel’s POVI was playing with the twins. Kaiser had invented a game and wanted us to join in. It was a fun game. We each had thirty seconds to look around the room then we had to close our eyes. The ‘leader’ would then ask us to point out something with a specific color that was in the room. It was fun and challenging at the same time. Between my two children, Kyla was more outspoken. She loved outdoor activities and preferred going to the park rather than staying in the house. Kaiser, on the other hand was an introvert who was very handy. He fixed and broke things in equal measure. “Mummy, mummy, someone is at the door.” Kyla called out. She had gotten bored of our game and had gone to find her dolls and teddy bear.“Who is it?” I asked as I walked towards the door.“I don’t know. He is carrying a box.” She answered.Curious, Kaiser trailed behind. I was almost reaching the door when my phone rang in my pocket.“Hello.” I picked it without looking at the caller ID.“Don’t be late.

Noah’s POVThis was not how I had wanted my next encounter with Hazel to be. I had planned to woo her until she forgave me and agreed to come back home. Now I had gone and messed it up with my big mouth. I had said hurtful things that I could not take back nor erase. She was never going to forgive me. I wanted to blame Drake for provoking me but it was partly my fault for taking the bait. Drake was a crazy werewolf who got off on seeing my suffering. We were sworn enemies and I know I should have ignored him. I would have, if I had not seen him being chummy with Hazel.I could not believe that Hazel had left me for Drake. Didn’t she know who Drake really was? Had she not seen his true colors? I know it was jealousy that was making me behave that way. Hazel was my mate, we had just had a little glitch or something one would call a detour but I was determined to get her back. Destiny was not wrong for putting us together. I was going to win her back no matter what. She belonged to me an

Noah’s POVI was in my office trying to concentrate on the monthly report I had been given by my beta. Ever since my wolf started misbehaving, he had been the one taking care of most pack affairs. He had forced me to take a back seat after I almost beat a pack member to death. He had brought me the wrong pair of shoes. My beta knew that if he did not take over, then the pack members would notice and there would be chaos. Some would take advantage of my situation and use it to try and overthrow me. You could never trust power thirsty wolves.A lot of things were running through my mind. Why was the private investigator I had hired taking so long? Hazel was just one person with little to no social life, what was taking him so long? Had he found something incriminating against Hazel? I was still mulling over Hazel’s issue when I heard a knock on the door.“Come in.” I said before closing the file I had been perusing. It was the private investigator.“Good day Alpha.” He greeted.“What to
