Chapter One

{ Hazelle }

"Kyle, stop. Get out" I said as I tried to shove him out of my shower. I was showering when he came into the shower fully clothed and tried to kiss me. "Baby girl, come on, I know you want to" Kyle whined. "No. Get out. I don't want to talk to you" I yelled in his face. He leaned in again, and I slapped him across the face. I turned the water off and get out of the shower. I wrapped myself up in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Kyle claimed he was in love with me and that we were mates. But I knew we weren't, especially because he went around sleeping with other girls. I felt no love towards him at all. He was 19 and I was only 16. Plus, I've always been in love with someone else.

Kyle followed me out of the bathroom into my bedroom. "Get out, now" I told him one last time. "Or what's gonna happen baby girl?" He smirked, and with that he grabbed me and threw me on to my bed. He pinned me down, and started kissing my jawline. I kicked and screamed, but no one was home. Finally, after I knew he was too strong for me, I had an idea. I relaxed, and started moaning at his touch. He started kissing me quicker and I could see that his once brown eyes were replaced with black ones that were filled with lust. As soon as he let go of my arms and started unwrapping the towel that was around me, my claws extended from my finger tips, and I shoved them deep into the side of his neck. I knew this move, my father taught it to me, it wouldn't kill a wolf, but it would paralyze them just until the healing process fixed them. He groaned in pain, and I shoved him off of me with my strength, on to the floor. I straddled him, with my hand around his throat. "I hate you" I spat. "That was a nice move baby, but I know you don't hate me. You love me" He smirked. I growled lowly. "I'm in love with someone else." I growled. "Liam doesn't love you Hazelle, he found his mate this morning. He's been tracking her scent all week" He laughed. I felt my heart shatter, and with all the anger bubbling up in me, I took one last look at Kyle, before I knocked him out cold.

Running down the steps the pack house. I ran out the front door, into the woods. I ran to the only place where I could feel the least bit of happiness. My parents house. They died when I was young, when rogues attacked our pack. I ran inside the building that I once called home. The tears were pouring out now. I loved Liam. But I knew that it would never work out. I probably don't even have a mate.

When my tears finally stopped falling, and I finally collected myself, I walked outside breathing in the cool Spring air. I looked around at the lake that was behind the house. I use to swim in there with my father. He taught me everything I know. I smile at the thinking about it, but my thought were interrupted by a wolfs howling that was very close by. I quickly looked in the direction in which the wolf's howl had come from but, all I saw was the forest. I heard a growl from over the hill near by, and decided it was for the best if I shifted. Once I had Shifted into my gray wolf, I went to crouch behind a bush. From on top of the hill my wolf and I saw the breath-taking view of the most beautiful wolf you could have laid eyes on. A big gray and brown wolf with crystal blue eyes. We watched as he sniffed the air. I stood up and walked out from behind the brush, no longer afraid anymore. Ours wolves made eye contact, and he ran down the hill, to me. He inhaled my scent as he looked at me. He whined for me to shift back so he could see who I was, and without hesitation, I did. I could hear his bones cracking and I could hear mine too. I quickly covered up my private areas with my hands and looked down at the ground. "Mine" he growled. My eyes grew wide in excitement and filled with relief. "Liam?" I asked as I looked up. "Hazelle" He said surprised. He quickly gave me a shirt from his bag, and I turned around and put it on. When I turned back, he already had his pants on. We smiled at each other, and I ran into his arms. He picked me up and spun me around. "I'm so happy it's you" I smiled against my neck as we were holding each other tight. I laughed and squeezed my arms tighter around his neck.

Me and Liam have been friends since we were pups, but I've always like him. So In this moment, I was the happiest girl alive. "I love you so much" Liam said looking at me in my eyes. I stayed there in her arms looking at him in awe, as his eyes flickered to my lips, and he started to lean in. Right before our lips touched I put my hands on his chest. "What's wrong princess?" he asked with sympathy. "I've never kissed anyone Liam" I slightly giggled. "I'm not sure I'd be very good at it" I smiled. "Well then let me teach you beautiful" He said as he shoved his big warm lips on to mine. I felt millions of sparks as the love of my life kissed me. He smiled into the kiss and I melted into his arms. Once he pulled away, my wolf whined for more. He nuzzled our noses together, as we started walking back towards the pack house. I was starting to get dark by the time we got back, so we ate a small dinner together, and talked. I was exhausted after eating, and Liam carried me upstairs to his room. He laid me on his bed very gently, and got in on the other side. He off the the lights and snaked his arms around my waist.

I felt her relax at my touch, and I couldn't believe how lucky I was that I had found my mate and it was Her! I've been in love with Hazelle all through growing up, and now she is finally mine. On the way back to the pack house she told me what Kyle had done and I told the Alpha, my father. He had Kyle thrown in the dungeon for 20 years, for harassment. Hazelle was so excited tonight as I had our cook make her four-cheese Mac & cheese. Both of our favorite dishes growing up. I played the memories from today in my head over and over. I've been able to smell my mate all week, and my wolf has been searching for her. Little did I know that it would be the most beautiful girl who ever set foot on the planet. I am helplessly in love with Hazelle Sirancha, and I will love her forever.

I woke up this morning feeling happy, and full of energy. I tried to get out of bed, but there was arms wrapped around my waist. I smiled as I turned around in them, to become face to face with Liam. I started playing with his hair, and with my other hand, I moved my finger around on his arm in a circular motion. I stopped for a second, and his blue eyes shot open making me jump. "Why'd you stop?" he pouted. I giggled and gave him a quick kiss on the nose. and snuck out of his arms. and walked to the bathroom. When I came back Liam wasn't in bed. "Liam?" I called. "Li-" I was cut off by a pair of lips smashed into mine, and hands on my waist. He briefly stopped and bent down to my ear. "Breakfast is waiting for you downstairs beautiful". I blushed and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Then I grabbed his left hand and pulled him towards the door.

Downstairs the amazing aroma of breakfast hit my nose. I galloped down the hall holding Liam's hand feeling happier than ever. I walked into the room and everyone's eyes were on me. I turned to see Liam right behind me. He took my hand and led me to my new seat next to him. Across from the Beta and his mate. The Beta's mate smiled at me as she introduced herself as Susan. I smiled and told her that my name was Hazelle. There was no more time to talk because the food had arrived. I ate until I was stuffed.

The day went by pretty fast and it consisted mostly of meeting new people, spending time with Liam, and him telling me about what would happen when he was Alpha. It wasn't all that exciting of a day, but it was still the second time in a long time, that I had fell asleep happy.
