I am not going to leave you behind. Stefan said as he ended up on the bed with Fiona, he cuddle her, this woman had gone through a lot all because of him.
Meanwhile in a room, Hazel found herself lying on a bed that is not hers.
Where am I? Hazel said jumping from the bed, she is lying on.
You are awake?
Stop asking me that, where am I? The young man in front of her smiled.
You are arrogant. He grabbed a cup of herb tea. Here, you should drink it, you must have come down with a headache. Hazel held her head, it was a fact, her head is pounding, and she try to remember what happened last.
She sighed as she remembers she was attracted by those rogue wolves, they had outnumbered her, and she couldn't do anything, they were going to rape her.
Wait, did you save me? She asked, he nodded. What did you do to them?
What did you think I should do to those rogues that wanted to have what... He paused. I have slain them.
What? Hazel jumped from the bed.
Stop being annoying, they were dangerous and I only did what was right, I only erase them from the surface of the earth and I noticed you were burning so I had to apply some herb on you, that is the reason you fall asleep.
How long, have I been on that bed?
Two days.
Fuck! I should be at Silver Moon Pack.
Was that where you are going? The young man asked Hazel.
What is your business with where I am going to?
A lot, I wonder what could be so important for you to put yourself in danger, and travel from your pack to want to go to a pack where they are so many rogue, more dangerous than the ones you just met.
I could care for myself. Hazel said pulling the duvet from her body and was ready to leave, she wasn't strong enough after she left Stefan, she was so mad that she cast a spell, so she could find Leonid and inform him about Stefan, she doesn't want Stefan to regain his memory if Leonid could get to Fiona and claim her, then Stefan will not be able to remember Fiona again and her second spell of making him love her could be effective, yet she had fallen into the hands of those bloody rogue and because she had used too much of her power to cast the spell, she had no strength in her to fight those rogue.
If not for the young man, she would probably be saying something different, yet she still want to look for Leonid, she needed to get to him.
The young man didn't stop her, she grabbed her stuff and was heading to the door when she felt a sharp pain in her head, she hold her head and was falling to the floor, the young man was fast enough to grab her.
Stop touching me. Hazel pushed his hand off her body, as soon as he place her gently on the bed.
You shouldn't be stubborn, you have to rest.
And I said I don't want to rest.
Then let me make you rest.
What are you going to do? The young man cast a spell, she was dozing off, he smiled, watching her hair scattered on his bed and her peaceful face shining like the sun.
She is beautiful! His wolf said.
Yet very stubborn. The young man said, his name is Alpha Daryl, he had met Hazel at the masquerade ball that he attended some time again and he had danced with her, she carries a scent that make his wolf always restless whenever they met, although he doesn't think that Hazel is his mate he felt that he should get to know her.
But the young lady is so crazy about Stefan, he had watched her for more than a year and had seen how her life revolved around Stefan, so he had thought that Stefan is her mate and had tried to forget about her.
But fate had played a fast one on him, on his way from one of the visits to a pack, he was supposed to ally with, his wolf cause him to wonder, wondered into the wood, where he perceived that scent again, that strong scent, this time is stronger than the former and his wolf rile seeing those rogue wanting to rape her, he slay them without thinking twice, saving her was all he thought of.
He was supposed to let her go after saving her, but the woman had lost consciousness the very next few minutes, bringing her home, his wolf had wanted nothing but to claim her.
Which means, she is the fated mate of him? But how can he claim a woman that is unconscious and a woman whose heart belongs to another?
What are you thinking again Daryl? His wolf called out to him.
Nothing, I am just wondering why she wants to hurt that innocent girl.
Love! Wasn't love that had made you slain those rogues a while again?
It's different, they are evil, and they wanted to harm her, I will save any woman in that condition, even if she is not the one.
Yes, you will but you are not going to be brutal like this, did you see how merciless you became? He teases him.
Stop talking nonsense, I am not like her.
She is not a bad person, she is only obsessed with Stefan.
Stop trying to persuade me, I am not going to claim a woman like this. Daryl said standing up.
Stop running away from your mate.
Did you just say, mate?
Of cause, she is our mate. His wolf said he run his hand through his neck and hair.
You should stop pulling ideas on my head.
Fine, I give up.
Better, I need to do something.
You are going to look for Kira and Leonid? His wolf asked.
Why will I do that? Daryl is getting pissed with his wolf and his annoying questions.
So you could stop her from meeting with him.
There is nothing I could do, you should know that the prophecy must happen.
In the past two days that Hazel had lie on his bed, he had searched for an answer, and ways to stop Hazel from going to Leonid and Kira but he couldn't find it, the only thing that prophetess had said that the moon goddess had made it that way that Hazel, Fiona and Stefan's fate are sealed together.
And his mother had wanted Stefan to forget everything about Fiona, so he could have a normal life, not because he loved the trouble the man had been going through trying to figure out, who he is, but because of the pain that will associate with him founding his memory, the wolf will come after him, his demon will fight him as well. But his father the alpha had cast a spell on him as well, so no one could eliminate him, even if they try to kill him, he will keep coming back to life.
Daryl's heart is heavy, he had felt something about her, he had felt the connection and is thinking maybe, they are mates but he is not ready to give his heart to a woman, for the second time, to be heartbroken.
We are better off like this.
