HAZEL'S POV
Breakfast was amazing.I felt completely full.I took a napkin and wiped away any leftover food particles from my mouth.I glanced at the clock on the wall to my left and saw that it was a quarter to nine."Shit," I muttered under my breath. Gabz would be here any minute.Aunty made a loud gasp at my minor slip up.I braced myself and waited for round two of her scolding, but to my surprise, it never came. She just lifted her head to the heavens with a hand over her chest and pleaded, "Lord, please help this girl," she shook her head in defeat.However, uncle wasn't too quick to forgive. "Hazel, you will not use those kinds of foul language in my presence!" He declared, raising an eyebrow at me.I wanted to avoid any controversy at all costs, so I quickly apologised before I excused myself from the table.Thanks to my brief outburst I had less than fifteen minutes to get ready before Gabz showed up.I literally bolted upstairs to my bathroom. I took what I believed was the quickest shower in history.I was out after only three minutes.I reapplied some concealer under my eyes and then got dressed in the same white tank top and knee-length floral skirt from earlier.I checked the time, it was two minutes to nine. I took a deep breath, then laid on my bed and waited for my crazy friend to arrive.The bed was so comfortable, sleep called out to me.Stay awake, Haze, I coaxed myself.My eyelids were so heavy.I'm just going to close them for five minutes, I yawned.Who the hell was I kidding, closing my eyes felt wonderful, I felt my body becoming lighter as wonderful sleep consumed me.I woke up shivering in bed. I heard the rain dancing on the windowsill.I saw nothing on the weather updates about getting rain today, I pondered to myself.With my eyes still closed, I snuggled closer to my pillow and pulled the blanket over my body.Gabz must be running late. She hated going outside in the rain.I wanted to go and check my phone to see if she texted, but that thought quickly left my mind the more I sank into the comfort of the bed."Ooh, this blanket is so silky," I purred as the rain pitter-pattered louder against the windowsill.Something about it raining while I was snuggled in the warmth of my bed brought a simple yet extraordinary satisfaction to my entire body.A gush of wind hit the back of my neck, it caused goose pimples to formulate all over my body."Why did I leave the window open?" I whined.Oh yeah, that damn weather lady expressed it was going to be a sunny and cool day. What a bitch, I snickered to myself.That's one reason I did not trust weather reports anymore.I remembered last year the weather lady declared it was going to be a sunny and beautiful fourth of July weekend, so my aunt decided that we should go to White Sands beach, which was like an hour away.As soon as we arrived, it started to rain and it never stopped until the early hours of the next day.I slowly positioned myself to get up from the bed.I groaned when I felt the comfort of the plushness leaving my body.I got up and lazily stretched my arms above my head and let out a loud yawn.Only if aunt Jules could see me now. I could almost hear her reprimanding me for looking like a human fly trap when I yawn."A lady should yawn like she's telling a secret." She'd say. Whatever the fuck that means.My eyes gradually opened inch by inch. My teeth were rattling.I wrapped my arms around my curvy body to try to stay warm.Today was too cold for a summer day in Los Angeles.I Rubbed my arms in an up and down motion for some well-needed friction. My eyes slowly started adjusting to the room.Suddenly! A tsunami of panic washed over me.My head moved from left to right. My eyeballs bulged out of my skull like I was a character from the Looney Toons cartoon."WHERE THE FUCK AM I?" I glanced around the enormous room that I was in, if I wasn't in survival mode I would have stopped and gawked at the beauty of its Victorian decor.I could tell that the person who lives here is filthy rich, and that's saying something coming from a girl who grew up with a family that owns a yacht and a private jet.I heard footsteps scampering from outside a door I assume led to a hallway.Not wasting another second, I sought out a hiding place.Maybe I could find a weapon of some sort that I could use to protect myself. It was obvious to me that I was kidnapped, maybe by some sadistic, saggy balls, wealthy old dude.But why would a wealthy old dude want to kidnap me, when there were so many social media thots looking to get with a sugar daddy?The footsteps were now directly at the front door. I had officially run out of time to find a decent weapon, so I rushed to a slightly open door.I peeked inside and saw that it was a closet. Holy shit! This closet was four times bigger than the one at home.I slid inside and closed the door behind me. Beads of sweat glistened on my forehead as I tried to calm my heart, which was beating at a hundred miles per hour.I kept my ears open. I heard the click of the bedroom door.The sounds of two sets of footsteps made their way inside.Trying to keep my heart rate even wasn't easy.My nervousness made my palms sweaty and my legs wobbly. I had to rest both my hands on the wall for support.I could hear talking, but I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. I placed my ear against the door to give myself a better chance of listening in on their conversation.I discovered two different male voices and a few phrases that made no sense at all to me. It's like they were speaking in some sort of code, using terms like; she-wolf, alpha, rogues, and mate.What the hell were they talking about? My curiosity got the best of me, so I decided I needed to get closer in order to hear exactly what they were saying.Maybe I could find out the reasons behind my kidnapping - but wait a damn minute, shouldn't they be alerting someone that I was no longer in the room? Shouldn't they be tearing this place apart trying to find me?Something was way off!I stooped down on my knees and cracked the door just enough for me to hear them better.I positioned myself on all fours and peeked through the crack of the door.I could make out the guy that was facing towards the closet.He did not look like a sugar daddy at all! He had blue eyes and pink lips. He had one hand at his side as he ran the other over his dark blonde hair. Ooh, how I wish that was my hand running through his ha - I stopped myself from finishing that thought.What the fuck girl, get a grip - you should not be fantasising about your potential kidnappers.I was definitely having an internal battle with myself.My eyes moved to the next guy, he was facing the guy with the blonde hair. He had dark raven coloured hair. I could detect the sheen from all the way across the room. I wondered what shampoo he uses. He probably uses leave-in-conditioner.His back was to me, he had tight khaki shorts on, that outlined his sexy butt perfectly. He didn't have a shirt on and I could perceive his beautiful muscles flexing as he talked.He had both hands in his pockets and I didn't need to see this guy's face to know that he was a heartbreaker.Something about him screamed dominance and sex. I just wanted to run my tongue over those tendons of his and maybe steal a few squeezes from his butt cheeks. I mentally smack the back of my head - focus Hazel! Focus!I wiped all dirty thoughts from my mind andzoned my attention to the conversation that was taking place between them."Alpha how was that chick you bangedlast night?" Blonde hottie questioned with a smirk on his face. I sworethis guy belonged on the cover of a magazine.Blinded by Blondie's smile, it took me asecond to register what he asked.Chick he banged last night? Oh! God. no,no, no, no NO! I started panicking.Could they be talking about me? I ran myhand under my skirt and cupped my lady bits. It didn't feel sore or anything.Could I know though if we had sex?I've only had sex once and I could tell thenext day from the slight discomfort every time I peed.I continued to listen in on their convo."Carson, you know I never kiss andtell," the sexy butt dude answered, I think Blondie whose name I learnt tobe Carson, called him Alpha - What kind of name is Alpha by the way?"Come on Alpha, you've banged likehalf of the she-wolves in the pack. I've had sex with over sixty
HAZEL'S POV"Haze?""HAZEL!" I was jolted back to reality as Gabz shouted my name.I gasped and sensed the need to suck in a deep breath!My ears were ringing, and I had a massive headache.FUCK!I felt the back of her hand pressing against my forehead.Is she checking me for a fever?"Hazel, honey, look at me!" My eyes shot open as my friend's concerned expression came into view. She only called me Hazel when she was worried or upset. "Do you want me to call someone because you have a fever?" She asked holding her cell in her shaking hand.I reached out weakly and took her arm that held the phone.I slowly sat up on the bed. "No Gabz, I'm fine," I answered weakly.She trailed her dark brown eyes over my face and scrunched up her nose as if she could smell the lie that just fell from my lips. "Haze you don't look fine, what the hell happened?" She inquired as she took a seat at the edge of the bed. "You scared the shit outta me. I thought - I thought you were dead." Her voice cracked
HAZEL'S POVI asked Gabrielle to repeat herself three more times.I couldn't seem to wrap my brain around the whole ordeal.This is the type of shit that turns people into alcoholics and crackheads.I felt like I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone."Gabz, I don't know what to make of all this." I sat on the floor with my back against the bed."Haze, you've been through a lot. Let's just forget about it for now," she suggested.We both sat in silence for a while and tried to catch our breaths."Hey Gabz, didn't the whole point of you coming over was to show me something important?" I asked, hoping to lighten the mood."Oh yeah, trust me, I haven't forgotten the reason I'm here," she responded. "But it can wait, we've had enough revelations for one day.""Now I'm more than curious," I raised an eyebrow at her.She smacked the gum she was torturing in her mouth and stood up. Gabz ran towards the bedroom door. She turned around and waved me over, "Are you coming or not?"My eyes kept
GABRIELLE'S POVFLASHBACK: THREE DAYS AGO"Gabby are you done in there?""No Dad. I'll be out in a minute."I rolled my eyes and gave myself a once-over in the mirror. I hated being rushed.I'm the type of bitch that accomplishes things at her own pace and make her own waves."I gotta sexy piece of ass," I giggled to myself and did a little twirl before I headed downstairs for breakfast.I'm not a morning person.My bitchometer was off the charts between the hours of 5 and 11 am. But since my Grandpa was gonna be in town for a couple of days, he made me promise him I'd be on my best behaviour.I stepped into the hallway and was greeted with the most amazing smell."PANCAKES," I squeaked. "My faves."I bolted downstairs towards the smell.My mouth was already salivating.I was stopped in my tracks when my eyes landed on the back of a tall and muscular frame with messy blonde hair.What is this motherfucker doing here? I pondered to myself.I watched as Dad patted his shoulder with prid
His chin was resting on hisintertwined fingers.He almost resembled that fat cat from the cartoonmy brother used to love as a kid - What's the name of it again? - oh yes,Garfield and Friends."So how about you, MIKE TYSON, don't you wantsome more pancakes?"HOLY FUCK, HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!Gerard's fork fell with a loud clunking noise tothe floor.Mom had an 'oh shit' look on her face.Dad's mouth was wide open in shock, showcasing theunchewed piece of pancake.Grandpa's pearly whites were in full view. Leaveit to this man to turn serious situations into a joke.Suddenly, I heard booming laughter. I looked overand saw Gerard's eyes were shut tight as he erupted in laughter. I guess Ididn't punch him hard enough.Grandpa followed next, laughing like there was notomorrow. He stretched his arm and gave Gerard, who was sitting next to him, alittle squeeze on the shoulder."Dad, I don't appreciate you making fun of asituation like this," my dad said as he spat the unchewed
GABRIELLE'S POVGerry got up and opened the door. I didn't know why,but I was eager to meet this girl.Call it a hunch, but something told me I wasn'tgoing to like her."Oh my Gawd, G-Bear, what happened to yourface?" A concerned sounding high-pitched voice screeched through my ears.This girl sounded like Jennifer Tilly.Did she just call him, G-Bear? I think I'll becalling him that from now on. It suits him.Gerry went in for a hug while he spoke, "It'snothing for you to worry about. I just had a minor accident.""Ohhhh, you want me to kiss it and make itbetter?" She asked in a sultry voice.I guess this girl didn't get the memo of thembeing just friends."Stop it! My family is looking," Gerrywhisper yelled as he peeked at us over his shoulders. "Just come in."I heard her giggling as she made her way inside.A long-legged blonde bombshell now stood beforeus. She was hot in a fake plastic sort of a way. She had on a tight red dressthat barely covered anything.What did she
I placed my phone next tome on the bed. I was exhausted. I snuggled in the sheets and fell asleep.The next morning Chastity left. She promised tocome back for a visit as soon as Mom gave birth.Grandpa was the saddest of us to see her go.It was Sunday, so Gerry decided to go visit hisold friends Larry and Dane.I spent the remainder of the day in bed eatingDoritos and watching Sixteen Candles. I just love me some Molly Ringwald.On Monday night Grandpa left to go back home toFlorida.After Grandma Ellen died, Mom and Dad invited himto come live with us, but his stubborn old ass declined.I missed my bestie. So with Grandpa gone, I couldfinally go see my favourite girl tomorrow afternoon. I decided to send her atext.*Gabz* Hey girl - I miss you ?It took a few minutes for her to reply.*Haze* Aww, I miss you 2. ???*Gabz* What are you doing?*Haze* I'm catching up on my paintings.This girl was really talented. She sings anddances but her paintings were unbelievable.*Gabz*
ALPHA'S POVI had been in my office struggling to get some pack business done. But Icouldn't seem to concentrate much. My mind kept on reiterating the events ofthis morning.My wolf was positive he detected our mate earlier. The scent of lavender andchocolate still lingered in my nose. It was driving my wolf and me insane, andI was getting hard!REAL HARD!CONCRETE HARD!Maybe Carson was right, I need to get laid."No! We need to find our mate! She is out there waiting for us." Mywolf, Gidian declared.Every werewolf can communicate with their wolf through what we call amind-link. Members of the same pack also acquire the ability to mind-link eachother."It's not that easy Gidian, we don't even know if who we detected was her."My wolf had been in my head all day tormenting the shit out of me.The scent didn't belong to a pack member, plus I'm positive it was human."I'm telling you, it was her, nobody can tell me otherwise. Don't youtrust me?"Why would he ask me a question l
