Mated To My Childhood Bully

“Don’t act like you have no idea about what I am saying….”

“But I do have no idea” Damien cut Hazel off.

“Damien! Give his body back to me!” Hazel demanded.

“I. Am. Not. With. His. Body” Damien stated firmly.

“That is a lie and we both know that is a lie!” She yelled at him.

“It is not a lie! Truthfully, I would not give the body to you if I was with it but I am really not with it so stop giving me that look!”

“What look? Ugh?” She walked a few steps closer to him.

“Hazel” Damien took in a long breath.

“I really did not steal his body away” he said to her as calmly and possible but Hazel did not believe him at all. She was sure that he was doing this to prevent her death.

“Damien, please” she pleaded and took his hands in her own hands.

“Please give me back his body. My life has no meaning if he is not in it”

“And do you think Axel’s life would have any meaning too when you are gone?” He asked.

“I already said it. I would have his memories wiped away”

“Why don’t you just have your own memories wiped away and spare us all of this? Wipe your memories and start adresh”

“There is not starting afresh without Axel” she shook her head.

“Give his body to me”

“I am really not with his body! Believe it or not, I did not steal away his body” he maintained his grounds.

“Time is ticking away, Damien. Give his body to me and let me get this over with”

“How can you be enthusiastic to die?!” Damien asked, raising his voice.

“It’s none of your business! Give him back to me!”

“Gosh! How many times do you want me to go through this? I have said it clearly a thousand times that I am not with his body”

Hazel let go of his hands and took about three steps away from him.

“You are here, in this pack as a guest because of the out turn of things. Do you want me to tell the wolves that you stole the body of their Alpha away?”

“Hazel? You really do not believe me when I tell you that I am not the one?” His eyes held sincerity that Hazel was finding hard to doubt.

Clarissa, having heard so much noise from the living room, kissed the forehead of Sana who she had put to sleep and walked out of the room.

She could see Hazel, Davis and Damien.

“What’s going on?” She asked and Hazel simply went silent.

“The body of Alpha Axel was stolen” Davis replied and Clarissa’s eyes grew wide.

“And she thinks I stole it!” Damien added.

“How did it happen?” Clarissa asked but no one could give an answer to that question.

“Hazel” she called softly and pulled Hazel close.

“We are going to find his body” she mumhled.

“Time is ticking away, Clarissa. Once the sun rises, it is all over. He would be gone forever” the thoughts of it made tears flow freely.

She could hardly believe that there was still so much tears in her after all the crying she had been doing these past few days.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“He would never be gone forever”

Hazel pulled herself together and got in front of Damien once more.

“You have something to do with this! I am sure about it!” She said to him and Damien sighed heavily.

“Fine! I was going to have something to do with it….”

“Going to have?”

“Yeah. I asked a few of my men to steal his body away to stop you but they just texted me back that his body was already gone. His body is not with me”.

Damien picked up his phone, unlocked it and showed the message to Hazel.

There was really a message to him that they could not find the body.

“That was why I was so worried thinking that you guys took the body already and the ritual would have commenced. That is why I was glad to see you back. I had no idea that the body was stolen by another” he replied and Hazel dug her fingers into her already messed up hair, pulling hard at it.

“Good lords! Now, how do I even find a way out of this? His body is not with you too! Then who took it? Who stole Axel’s body?” She cried out, closing her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, it was filled with determination.

“If I cannot find Axel’s body and the sun rises, I would not spend my life in this miserable world without him. I would get rid of myself”

“You cannot do that Hazel” both Clarissa and Damien gasped out at the same time.

The both of them glanced at each other and looked away almost immediately.

“Oh I can and that is exactly what I am going to do”

“We all have to go out and find his body if we want her death to at least be fulfilled” Davis said and the other two agreed.

“Let’s go together, Clarissa” Davis said but Clarissa shook her head.

“I would go with Alpha Damien instead” she replied and without letting Damien make a decision for himself, she held his hand in hers and began to walk out of the mansion.

As soon as they were out of the mansion, Damien jerked her hands off his hand.

“Why did you choose to go with me? If you have some silly thoughts in your head, then you should….”

“That is not it, Alpha Damien.” She looked around and when she was sure there was no one around, she whispered:

“I just do not want to go around with someone I don’t trust in this case”

“What do you mean?” He folded his arms understand his chest.

“I mean I do not want to go around with the possible culprit in this case”

“You do not trust Davis? I thought he is the best friend of Axel, why would he steal away his body?”

“People do anything for power. Axel has no heir at the moment of his death. Who do you think will become the acting Alpha if Axel is completely gone?” She asked.

“The beta, Davis”

“Exactly… I cannot trust those who stand to gain power” Clarissa responded.
