Chapter 123

• The morning light seeped into the room, casting a soft glow upon Hazel as she stirred beneath the weight of Wyatt's strong arm around her. Blinking awake, she inhaled deeply, catching her mate's familiar, comforting scent. Desire flickered in her eyes as she gazed at Wyatt. Amidst all the chaos around them, he had become her steadfast anchor, without whom she doubted she could have endured any of the challenges they faced. Aurum's voice echoed in Hazel's mind, her tone gentle and reassuring. 'Didn't I tell you our mate is the best?'
• For the first time in a long while, Hazel felt a sense of relaxation settle over her as she lay nestled in her mate's embrace.
• "You're right," Hazel nodded in agreement. "He rescued us from all the trouble that bitch was trying to pull us into, along with that fake Alpha," Aurum snorted in disdain.
