Semua Bab The Alpha's Cursed Mate: Bab 11 - Bab 20

HAZEL'S POV: “Logan?” I repeated, and mom nodded stiffly. I didn’t wait for her to say anything else, I brushed past her. “Where is he?” I called out, scanning the living room. Dad was slouched in his favorite armchair, his glasses low on his nose as he scrolled through his phone. He barely looked up when he answered. “Upstairs.” Mom, coming up behind me, added quietly. “He brought Susan back and helped her to her room.” I froze mid-step, turning sharply to look at her. “I actually forgot that they were siblings.” That statement pulled on an old memory from years ago when I was far away, hiding from my past, and Mom had called to tell me Lucas had found his mate. I’d been too ashamed to come back, or face anyone. And in my selfishness, I didn’t realize that while I was nursing my wounded pride, my mother had been hurting, my father was heartbroken… and they had to pretend they were fine so I co

AMANDA'S POV:Hazel stared at me from across the car, her brows knitting together in that way she did when she was trying to challenge me without actually starting a fight.“I don’t get it.” She said, leaning back on the chair. “Why is going to the Square such a bad idea? It’s just… shopping.”I pressed my lips together, my hands busy fiddling with the wheels I’d been tightening for the past few minutes. “Because, Hazel…” I sighed. “You might run into someone you know and then they’ll start asking questions you don’t want to answer. Or worse, you’ll hear people gossiping about you like you’re not even there.”Her expression softened but she didn’t back down. “Mandy, I can’t keep running away. If I’m going to live here again, I have to get used to it.”I shook my head. “That’s easier said than done.”“Maybe, vut I want to try.” She said, calmly. “I’m tired of hiding. Please… take me there.”I hesitated, glancing

Hazel's POV:A part of me hated how Amanda could casually ask me to form a bond with Susan. It felt like she was indirectly saying that although her brother hurt me, she just has to form a bond with his new woman, Claudia.I know that's not what she meant, but I just couldn't help but misunderstand.Sighing, I stretched my right hand out to call for a taxi. Within seconds, one pulled up before me and rolled down his window. “Where to Ma'am.”I was about to respond when I noticed something oddly familiar about his scent. He didn't look like someone I would know but he smelt familiar.“Is there a problem ma'am?” He asked.“No there isn't.” I said, shaking my head. “Take me to St. Phineas Hospital.” Then I made myself comfortable in the back seat.As he drove I noticed that he was repeatedly glancing my way through the rearview mirror. “Is there a problem?” I demanded.“You look familiar.” He an

Hazel's POVI walked back to mom and dad, and when I noticed that Lucas wasn't there, I asked,"Where is Lucas?" "He's gone to get something to eat. Poor child hasn't had anything from yesterday." Mom answered me.I wanted to say I knew part of the reason that Lucas might not have eaten anything, but I kept it to myself.That was for me to be surprised by mom asking, "Is everything okay between the two of you?" Since I didn't know what kind of answer they were looking for and the information that they already had, I had to improvise."Not that I know of. Did he say anything?""No. But you forget that we are your parents, we can tell." Dad answered.Shaking my head, I said, "It's probably nothing. However, I need to get going."They didn't look surprised, but curious."Where to?" Dad asked, probably forgetting that I wasn't sixteen anymore."I think I'm too old for that. But if you must know, I'm meeting up with Alpha Logan." Mom

Hazel's POV"Why are you letting him do this to us?" Venus asked as I started to feel a familiar pain in my heart.It was the same pain that I felt the endless nights that I was I away from my pack, and my mate.For five years, I had endured it.You'd think I would have built a tolerance by then. Much to my surprise, it felt like the very first time.No matter how much I wanted nothing to do with Jordan, my wolf was never going to hate him.He had rejected me, humiliated me and taken me through hell, but Venus still wanted Jordan.His wolf was everything she knew and wanted to know about.That's one of the reasons that I hated the mate bond for.And Jordan had to know what he was doing when he was joined at his table by a female who looked like she had been drooling over him all her life.I was tempted to confront her. But what good would that do me?My demands were clear. I didn't want anything to do with him, and he was now trying to str
