Chapter 106

• Wyatt had already informed Ruben before darting out of the restaurant. "Taking out Hazel," he muttered, noting her distracted demeanor. "Make sure Misty doesn't catch wind," he added hastily. Catching the sight of Hazel transforming into her wolf form, he hastened and parked his car. Then, transforming himself, Wyatt allowed Xerxes, as Aurum had requested, to take the lead. He couldn't fathom why Hazel's wolf was stirring, especially on a non-full moon night. Questions raced through his mind. Why did Aurum insist he sticks by Hazel's side? What else did he need to uncover about her? Suddenly, he heard Hazel's distant howl, snapping him back to the present. Realizing she was venturing off, Wyatt knew he had to keep close tabs on her. Following her scent, he sprinted through the dense forest, his concern growing with each passing moment.
• Hazel dashed through the wind, her insides burning with fierce heat. The force tugging at her core was relentless, and the breeze offered no relief. Anger consumed her, a singular focus amidst the chaos. Whoever wielded this power over them held formidable strength, and her wolf rebelled against such control. Images of the bracelet flashed incessantly in her mind, stoking the flames of her fury and the words of her dream reverberating in her ears.
• "I want to meet you, come find me," a voice beckoned from the dense depths of the woods, drawing her attention away from her tumultuous thoughts. Losing herself to the urgency, she demanded, "Who are you? Where can I find you?" Her vision blurred, memories flashing by, Serene's face haunting her, her words echoing in her mind.
