Going Into Hiding
“Tell me about it, Clarissa” Hazel demanded after they had walked a few minutes on the street.
“Actually Hazel, no one knew about it before but the first one who found it out was Axel since he saw your wolf side first…”
It was at that moment that Hazel was understanding better why Axel never wanted her showing her wolf side out to any other person. He was trying to keep her identity a secret.
Clarissa’s phone beeped with a message and she mumbled a ‘please excuse me’ before opening up the message box.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a message from the Alpha.
“Hope you are out with her already because Axel already left here and would be on his way back home to her” the message read.
“I already have her out with me” she texted the Alpha back and slid her phone back into her pockets.
“I… I just found out about it recently too”
“How did I come here then? How did I grow up as the beta’s child then? If I am a white wolf, how did I fit in with you guys?” Hazel asked.
“You never really fit in, Hazel. You always felt compassion for your people, for the white wolf packs more than our pack”
Hazel lowered her head as more tears gushed out of her eyes as she came to the realization that her entire life had been a lie. She was not a dark wolf, she was not what she had been thing of herself to be.
“Hello” six men showed up from nowhere.
The Alpha who was unwilling to take chances on Hazel had decided send six men against her instead of the usual one or two that he sent usually.
He was sure that the strong six male wolves would be able to take Hazel down.
“Wh… Who are you?” Hazel asked, not liking the presence of the men around her.
She could feel it from their appearance that they had come for her to kill her.
“Give her to us now” One of them demanded from Clarissa.
Hazel’s eyes widened as she darted her eyes towards Clarissa.
“Clarissa… What’s going on?” Hazel asked, not wanting to believe that Clarissa had lured her out of the house to get her killed.
“I am sorry” was the only thing Clarissa could mumble as more tears gathered in Hazel’s eyes.
One of the men brought out a gun from his pockets and loaded it with silver bullets.
“Wait, what?” Clarissa pushed Hazel behind her.
“You are not meant to kill her. You… You are just supposed to take her away”
“Get away, Miss Clarissa and let us do our job” the man rasped.
“What job?” Clarissa demanded to know.
“You are wasting our time, Miss Clarissa!”
“Your job is not to kill her. No one is allowed to touch Hazel not to talk of killing her!”
Now, Hazel was getting even more confused.
Clarissa grabbed her by the hands and whispered her words.
“Run back to the house and lock all entrances. I will try to hold the six of them back.”
“But you won’t be able to…”
“It was my doing right from the start. I can allow anything but not your deatj! Never! So run! Now!”
Hazel took steps backwards, shifted into her wolf form and sprinted back home. As she ran, she could hear a couple gunshots and she could only hope that it was not Clarissa being shot.
She continued to run without glancing backwards until she got back home. She locked the door quickly and locked every other window and doors in the house.
“Mommy” Sana called, walking out of her room.
“Sana” Hazel rushed up to he and carried her up in her arms.
“Once Daddy is back, we will be travelling away from here, okay?”
“Traveling?” Sana asked and Hazel nodded with a soft smile.
“Yes.”
At that moment, she heard the door click open.
“Daddy is back” she let out a sigh of relief and ran down the stairs with Sana in her arms.
“Why aren’t you dressed up?” Axel asked.
“Clarissa came over and some weird things happened”
“I will just get dressed and let’s leave this place. I can’t stand it anymore” she shook her head, opening her packed up bag and picking a few clothes and slipping it on her body as quickly as she could.
The three of them walked out of the house and got into the car after which the ride started.
“Be rest assured, Hazel. Once we get to where we are going, I will explain everything to you” Axel assured her in a mind link.
“I hope so” was her solemn response as the car tore through the streets in high speed.
At the speed at which they were going, it did not take too long for Axel to get to the old cabin.
He parked the car and turned off the headlights.
“We are here” he announced as he pushed open the door on his side and helped Sana out of the backseat of the car while Hazel helped herself out of the car.
Axel turned off the flashlight of his phone, illuminating the darkness.
“We will have to spend the night here” he mumbled as he led the way.
They got into the old cabin and although it was a pretty good shape, it was very dirty and dusty since it had been out of use for quite a long time.
“Hazel, why don’t you find a place to sit while I quickly clean somewhere up for you to stay?” He asked, rolling up his sleeves.
“Hmm” was the silent response from Hazel as she picked out one of her clothes from her bag, deciding to make it into a rag as the situation needed.
She cleaned up a old, wooden bench and waved Sana to come over to her.
Sana walked over to her and Hazel let her lay on the bench.
“I’m sorry that we have to stay here, Sana. But everything will be fine soon, I am sure.” She assured Sana when she herself was not sure.
