Aiden’s POV“How is she?” Elijah asked as soon as Katie walked into our office. “Did she eat?”Katie closed her door and nodded.“I left the tray there,” Katie said as she approached Ian. “She will eat.”Elijah clenched his fists and tightened his jaw.“So you didn’t actually see her eat?” he asked angrily. “You should have stayed there until she finished…”“Eli,” I interrupted him. “Katie isn’t her guard.”Elijah looked at me and rolled his eyes. He started pacing around our office. I looked at Kate and took a deep breath.“Is she feeling a bit better?” I asked and Katie gave me a small nod.“She was on her feet when I came into the room,” Katie said. “She looks better than I expected. Ian told me that she wasn’t doing good.”“They spent the night with her,” Ian said, leaning in and kissing Katie’s cheek. “That must have helped her heal.”Katie looked at him wide-eyed. “They did?!”Ian nodded and gave her a small smile. He leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips. I felt jealousy burn
Hazel’s POVI spent the entire day staring through the window and waiting for the night to fall. No one else came to see me and I was thankful for that. I didn’t want a distraction. I wanted peace and silence so I could focus on my escape.As soon as it started getting dark I stood up and approached the window. I looked down at the small clearing between the packhouse and the edge of the forest. I was afraid that there would be guards walking around, but thankfully, I saw no one.I had to go. I had to leave while I still had the chance.I turned around and rushed toward one of the chairs that were placed around the coffee table. I pulled it toward the bedroom door and jammed the back of the chair under the doorknob. I had to at least slow them down.I rushed back toward the window and looked outside one more time. There were no guards walking around.It was now or never.I opened the window and glanced behind my shoulder. No one was coming. No one was at the door. No one was going to
Elijah’s POVI walked out of my bathroom just as Aiden opened the door and stepped inside my bedroom.“Is this going to be a daily occurrence?” I asked as I started drying my hair with the towel. “Why are you here?”“Because I want to go see her and I knew you would bite my head off if I didn’t invite you too,” Aiden said, sighing and leaning against the wall.I threw the towel to the ground and rushed toward my closet.“Do you think that she is asleep?” I asked as I grabbed a pair of sweats and put them on.“I hope so,” Aiden mumbled. “I don’t know how to apologize for what we did. I don’t know what to say. It’s easier when she is asleep and I can just…”He stopped talking and I heard him take a deep breath.But I knew exactly what he meant. I had no idea how to express what I felt. I had no idea how to tell her that we fucked up. I had no idea how to beg for her forgiveness. It was easier when she was asleep.I walked out of my closet and looked at the door that led to her room.“Co
Aiden’s POV My heart was hammering against my ribcage as I walked back into the packhouse. I was holding her as tightly as I possibly could. The fear of losing her was overwhelming and I felt like I only now realized what had happened. Only now when she was back home did I feel my body go numb. Only now did I feel sweat break on the back of my neck. “What happened?” Ian asked as he rushed down the stairs. “Is she okay?” “She is fine, Ian,” Elijah said. “She tried to leave.” Packhouse workers knew better than to be in our way. I saw no one other than Ian and it was better that way. I would lose my shit if anyone said anything or even looked at her the wrong way. “Oh, Hazel,” Ian mumbled as he started following behind us. “How did she leave the room?” “Drainpipe,” Elijah sighed. “Is that right, Hazel?” She didn’t respond. I rubbed her back gently and placed another kiss on her temple. I could feel how scared and confused she was. “Should we move her into another room?” Ian asked.
Aiden’s POV“Gather the survivors!” I shouted as I stepped around the body of a dead wolf.I looked around and smirked. Another pack had fallen under our feet. Another pathetic Alpha had crumbled and admitted his defeat. My smirk widened when I saw his mangled body lying a few feet away from me.I walked closer and crouched next to him.“You got what you deserved, Patrick,” I said, glancing at his mate’s dead body that was lying next to his. “You were a horrible man and a horrible wolf.”Patrick was pathetic. His pack was weak and there were rumors of him abusing the members of his pack. There were rumors of him punishing his wolves by tying them to poles and starving them for days. We did the world a favor by getting rid of him.A scream made me look toward the packhouse. Flames engulfed it and a few survivors were running out, trying to escape the flames. My heart skipped a beat when I saw my brother walking out of there. Why the fuck was he in there?! Why did he go inside a burning
Hazel’s POVA severe pain in my body woke me up.Peter didn’t spare me this time. He used everything he could get his hands on. I was a little bit surprised he didn’t kill me this time.I knew I made a mistake, but did I really deserve to be beaten almost to death just because I spilled a little bit of water on his mate?Well, yes. The answer was yes. I was nothing. I was no one. I was a pathetic Omega who couldn't even shift. I couldn’t even talk to my wolf. I wasn’t even sure if I had one.I wanted to groan, but my throat was so dry that I couldn't even do that. I tried to turn my head a little, but it hurt. Everything hurt.“Wake up,” someone said sternly.I didn’t recognize the voice. Who was that?The voice made my heart skip a beat. But the voice trembled slightly and I could hear anger in it.“Wake the fuck up,” the voice repeated a little bit louder.I flinched a little and forced my eyes to open. The first thing I saw was a grey ceiling and it confused me completely. It wasn’
Elijah’s POV“On your knees,” I ordered as we finally entered our office.Jessica looked at me with a confused expression on her face.“Now,” I growled as I lowered my jeans and let my cock out.Her eyes widened, but she did as I said. I didn’t wait for her to open. I pushed my semi-hard cock inside her mouth and grabbed her head with both hands.I needed release. I needed to let go of the anger I felt. I needed to forget that my fucking mate was in that cell. I needed to forget who and what she was.I started fucking Jessica’s face furiously. She was gagging and tears were running down her face. She tried to push me back a little, but I ignored her pathetic efforts. She wanted this. She wanted to be our sex toy.I watched my cock go in her wet, warm mouth and I couldn’t help but groan. I was getting close.I wondered if she was in pain. I wondered if she felt me fuck another woman’s mouth. I wondered if she ever let another man shove his cock down her throat just like I did with Jess
Hazel’s POVI had no idea how long was I locked in that cell. It could have been hours. It could have been days. I lost the track of time and I simply didn’t know how long was I in there.All I knew was pain. Soul-wrenching, gut-twisting, heart-breaking pain. It never ended and it never lessened. It was getting worse and I was praying to the Goddess to take me.I was done living. I wanted to die.“Hazel,” a soft voice called my name.I recognized it. He was here a couple of times and he tried to get me to drink and eat. I didn’t want to. I would die faster if I didn’t eat or drink.He sighed and I heard the cell door open.“You have to eat, Hazel,” he said as he walked closer to me. “You have to drink. You can’t go on like this.”That was the whole point.I opened my eyes and saw him kneeling next to me. He reached out and caressed my cheek.“Fuck,” he mumbled. “You are burning.”Good. I was dying. That was the best news I heard in a while.“Please, Hazel,” he said softly. “Just one s
