Who Killed Them?
“Axel” Hazel called his name, glancing over at him while he ate.
“Yeah?”
“You don’t like the food?” She asked him.
“What? Of course I do. I just feel…. Strangely tired” he replied.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Perhaps I drained out your energy” She said to him in a mind link.
Axel chuckled.
“You can’t drain my energy. I have an entire tankful of energy for you” he replied in the mindlink.
“If you are tired, you should go to bed early tonight” she said to him out loud.
“Yeah, I think I should” he nodded in affirmation.
“Have some more meat, Sir Axel so you can get stronger” Sana took her own meats and dropped it on his plate.
“He has more than enough already, Sana. You do not have to give yours to him” Hazel said softly and looked towards Axel, motioning him with her eyes to return the meat to her but Axel simply ignored her gaze.
“Axel?” And called and he looked up at her.
“Return the meats to her. You have so many already”
“I need more and she kindly gave them to me. Why should I give them back?”
Hazel shook her head.
“You are being a big bully to even a little kid”
Axel dropped his cutleries.
“A big bully? By receiving what was given to me willingly?” He asked.
“Miss Hazel. You do not have to worry about it. I will be happy to see Sir Axel eating it” Sana replied with her usual wide smile.
“You see” Axel huffed and began eating.
Hazel shook her head at his attitude and gave some of her meat to Sana but Sana quickly returned it.
“You had an uncooked meal earlier. You should eat more of this so you don’t get hungry and eat uncooked meals later” Sana replied and Axel could not hold it in.
He laughed softly, throwing his head backwards and revealing his Adam’s apple as he did so. Hazel’s face reddened with both embarrassment and anger.
She glared at him until he stopped laughing and paid attention to her.
“What is funny?” Sana asked, looking at Axel.
“Nothing, Sana. You just eat” he took some of his meats and gave it back to her.
“My teeth hurts, I can’t have so much”
“Oh, thank you then, Sir Axel”
“You see what you’re doing?” Hazel asked in the mind link.
“I didn’t do or say a thing. It’s not my fault Sans decided to remember it and talk about it” a smirk danced on his lips as he talked.

Hazel laid in Axel’s arms that night. Axel would have loved to make love to her all through the night but he just could not get the tiredness off his body so they decided to simply go to sleep.
Axel looked at the sleeping woman resting her head on his chest and kissed her forehead softly before shutting his eyes in the dark. It only took a few minutes before he opened his eyes back and let out a soft breath.
He wondered what was going to happen now that he had mated with her and marked her, now that their bond with each other had become stronger than it had ever been.
Of course, letting go of her was not an option. But he had to protect her badly because he knew that as soon as his father would realize that he had mated with Hazel, his attempts at her life would double or even triple as he would attempt to eliminate the upcoming weak Luna of the pack.
He, however remembered the words of the old wolf doctor who had told him that there was a strange flow of energy running through Hazel and there was also the fact that Hazel healed faster than anyone he knew could heal.
He took a look at her face and gently brushed her hair backwards.
“She does not seem weak” he mumbled to himself and continued to stare at her for some more time before looking away.
“But then, even if she is, I will always keep her by my side, alive.”

“Alpha” the door opened and a man walked into the room of the Alpha.
He was the man who the Alpha had entrusted with the task of eliminating Hazel.
“How is it going?” The Alpha asked almost immediately.
“I am sorry, Alpha but for now, we still cannot do anything to her. She has not left the house of Axel ever since.”
“Then break into the house! Do I look like I care?” He asked.
“Alpha, I was thinking about it. Why don’t we just reveal her identity to the pack? Once everyone in the pack knows that she is a white wolf, she would be detested and perhaps the pack would even kill her immediately. That would be easier.”
“And then leave me with explaining how Hazel Simons has been a white wolf for all twenty four years of her life and I never knew? And then also watch Axel make a mess out of everything because he wants to save her from the pack?” He questioned and the man sighed.
“There is actually a report that I bring to you, Alpha”
“What is it about?”
“It is about the first two wolves that I sent to get rid of Hazel… I told you earlier on that I have not been able to reach them through any means. Alpha, that is because they are dead”
The eyes of the Alpha squinted.
“Dead?”
“Yes, Alpha. Their bodies were found at the shore of a river. If I think of it properly, the river flows past the back of Hazel’s home meaning that they were killed that night and dumped into the river”
The Alpha’s brows arched and he walked over to his window, thoughts running through his head.
He was sure that Axel was not the one who killed them as Axel would have no reasons to hide that fact. It was also a wide spread rumor that Hazel had been home all alone that night and the next morning, her body was found unconscious at first by Clarissa before she got up.
Who could have killed those wolves and dumped their bodies into the river? His hands raised up to the tuft of hair on his face and he began to caress them gently, playing with it as he thought deeply.
“Maybe she killed them herself?” His wolf side suggested and the Alpha almost laughed at that ridiculous suggestion.
She was just a white wolf, one that had not even had the time to train her wolf side. There was no way she could have killed one of the wolves not to talk of the two wolves herself.
“Who could have done it?”
