Alexander stood up from his seat and asked furiously, “How do you know about our proposal at Westham Corporation?” Hazel stopped just as she turned and replied, “Because I work there now and my baby daddy asked my opinion on the proposal.” ***** Hazel hissed loudly, kicking her shoes off her legs and throwing her purse in the middle of the living room as soon as she returned from her date.

~Valentina~ Hazie has been gone for five weeks. She communicates with us all the time with a new cellphone Eden got for her, which surprised the hell out of us. She's too far away to mindlink, so we frequently talk on the phone. I hate not being able to feel her or smell her scent while I fall asleep. Tae is always gone, working with the Royal Kings from other territories to ensure Hazel is unharmed, as she is not a threat. Sleeping without both of my mates is making me more depressed every day. Carlie and our parents have been as helpful as they can be with Lucas. I haven't been as patient as I should be for him, so I feel like I'm failing as a mother.

{Third person's pov} After spending a month on bed Hazel was finally recovering, and after getting the permission of her doctor they were allowed to travel back to their place. They arrived at their house, and Alan left to attend and take care of all the missed meetings. Hazel was alone when the door bell rang, she slowly stood up and opened the door just to witness Ema.

Kade stood nearby, beer in one hand, the other holding chalk for his stick. He looked up and smiled the second he saw me. “Well damn,” he said, setting the chalk down on the ledge. “So you’re the infamous Hazel.” I stepped in, tugging the sleeves of the hoodie awkwardly. “Guilty.” Kade walked over, sticking his hand out. “Nice to meet the woman who tamed the beast.” I took his hand, tried to smile even though my face was on fire. “I’m still figuring out if that’s a compliment.”

You deserve all the happiness in the world, so give another man a chance in your life!” Hazel screamed from the rooms “Shut up, Hazel!” Meagan shot back. “We have just ten minutes to call time.” Brianna reminded as she took out a small brush from her bag to redo her hair. Hazel is an iota wolf which means a worker that works at the pack infirmary treating wolves.

"It takes eleven seconds to clear the cache. If you hit the manual drop now, the Zurich logs are gone. The Delaware wire logs are gone. Your mother stays in the clinic, your father keeps the Mayfair liquidity, and Mr. Blackwood goes back to Baltimore with his company intact but his hands completely empty." The room seemed to grow colder as she spoke, the hum of the dead server racks leaving nothing but the high-frequency click of the terminal transformer to fill the space between them. Elias could feel the weight of the utility knife in his pocket, the hard, metal edge pressing against his hip like a reminder of the kitchen uptown, of the white silk tie he’d left on the counter like a skin h

“You're just like your shameless mother. Instead of learning anything decent, you learned how to seduce other people's husbands! “When we were neighbors, my husband felt sorry for you and your widowed mother. He drove you to work and school whenever he could. Your mother kept talking about how she’d never be able to repay our kindness, but behind our backs, she was trying to crawl into my husband's bed! “If Zach’s father hadn’t stood firm, that shameless woman would’ve succeeded after drugging him! For the sake of both our families’ reputations, we buried the whole thing. We thought once you moved away, we’d never have to deal with you again!

I try to ignore all of them without even stopping. I just need to walk out from here, and it all will be okay. Take a deep breath Hazel. "Yup, that's my Hazel... the one with the white shirt and black jeans, stops her for me please-" No. NO NO NO. Did he just do that??? "I believe I had something to return to you!!!" Oh fuck.
