All Chapters of Once Mine, Forever Mine: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

HAZEL’S POVThe moment those words slipped out of my mouth, I regretted it instantly. I could feel eyes on me, and that made me feel like a cornered mouse. My eyes flickered to Celeste and the horrified look on her face made my heart drop.Nausea poked at my stomach, as I tried to think of a way to salvage the situation, but as I heard the chair scraping the floor, I lost all hope. Killian had stood up from the chair and he had a stern, yet curious look in his eyes.“Why did you tell me to stop?”My eyes switched to him and they remained wide. I opened up my mouth to speak, but no words slipped out of them. How could they? What was I going to tell him? I tried my hardest to cook up a believable lie in my head, but nothing was coming to me.“I asked you a question Hazel, and I demand an answer,” He boomed.My anxiety was on the rise, and the tension in the air was so high, it was suffocating. There was a long streak of silence that had settled down between Killian and I, which made the

HAZEL’S POVI paced around the room, biting my nails as anticipation filled my entire being. It was already midnight, but I had no plans of falling asleep as I was determined to wait for Killian to come back.I kept walking around the room as I could not bring myself to sit still. My eyes occasionally went to the wall clock and I was keeping track of the time. Since I had come back to my room, three hours had passed, but there was no sign of Killian.Anxiety was eating me up inside and I didn’t know how long I could take this feeling. As I kept pacing around, knock came on the door, catching my attention instantly. I ran up to the door, hoping that Killian would be behind it.I opened up the door and I clicked my tongue when I saw Orion. All my expectations went down the drain, but I was also curious as to why he was here.“Where is alpha Killian?” I asked immediately.“Killian has some important work he is atte

KILLIAN’S POVHazel’s ashen and shock stricken face did not pull at my heart strings, instead it brought me some kind of joy. The silver knife I held, was placed on her throat, the blade a few inches away from her skin.“I noticed something was off when I smelt the fruit juice you gave me. I could smell the poison in it. I never had plans to drink it, but I wanted to play along and see what you would do,” I said.Hazel’s body began to shake and she remained tranquil.“I waited for you, I waited to see if you would say something before I drank the juice, but when you just stood there looking at me, I decided to speak up, but you already yelled at me to stop.”I put the knife closer to her throat. “I was willing to let you go after that you know, but a part of me had worries and doubts. I decided to test you. I was the one that left the knife out in the kitchen, and you took the bait, just like I had an

HAZELA sharp, hot pain rang through my arm, and it was then I realized what I had just done. The shard of broken plate was still infused in my hand, and slowly, a red crimson liquid began to pool out from the wound.Drop, by drop, my blood formed a large pool on the floor.It felt like my life force, was being sucked out of me. All the muscles in my body grew weaker, and weaker. Cold seeped in and my vision began to tunnel. I stretched my hand out to the guards, who were still chuckling in front of me.“H-Help me,” My voice quaked.This was a bad idea. How did I think slitting my wrist was a good idea? All I wanted was Killian’s attention, was I going to lose my life over him?More blood pooled out of my arm, and my body was growing weaker by the second. My vision blurred and I summoned all the strength I had in me.“Please! Can’t you see I’m bleeding! I need help!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.My shrieking finally got their attention, and they looked at me. Through my blurred vi

Orion shifted uncomfortably, as he sat on his chair, at the corner of Killian’s office. His mind was plagued with worries, worries that involved Killian. This auction Killian has set up, did not sit right him.He knew how much of a mess Killian had gotten himself into, just because he agreed and set up this auction. Orion sighed heavily and laid his head back on the chair. The office receiver began to buzz loudly.His eyes flickered to it and a grim feeling stretched across his chest. Orion knew who this call was from, he had been getting them all day, but make sure to ignore them. Now, they were getting more persistent.He watched the receiver ring for a while, with the intention of letting it ring until it disconnected, but there was this nagging feeling at the back of his mind, probing him to pick it up. Orion grimaced and slowly picked up the receiver.“Finally you picked up. What is alpha Killian saying about the auction?” a loud bubbly voice boomed from the other end of the line
