The Family Hug
“Are you okay now, Alpha Damien?” His beta asked.
“I am very much okay. It was just a bullet. How long am I supposed to remain in bed cause of a bullet?”
“The attack was not very successful” the beta continued.
“I know that. The dark wolf pack are turning into something else. Even during the heat period, they were able to gather so quickly against us” he mumbled.
“I think it is because of the presence of the moonstone. They have the blessings of the moon goddess at the moment”
“And that is the more reason why we have to get back the moonstone from them. We need back those blessings from the moon goddess ” he fumed and sat on a chair, behind a study table.
Damien bit on his bottom lip as he remembered Hazel. She was a dark wolf but a white wolf and he wondered if she even knew about her identity.
He was sure that many others did not know about her identity as a white wolf because if it was know, she would not be allowed to live the classy life that she was living at the moment but he was sure that Axel would know about it.
The only mystifying thing for him was her strength. It was like none that he had ever seen, the way she beat up Rex was just way too astonishing.
Damien felt his heart skip a beat as he remembered how strong she had been. It was not just about her strength, it was everything about her. He knew he was in love with her and he did not so much care if she had been marked by Axel before.
He was going to get her to be his whenever he got the chance to do so.
He was the Alpha of his own pack and he could keep her safe with him. No one would ever call her a white wolf and no one would disrespect her words.
He could treat her very much better as long as he could get her.
“Alpha Damien, what are you thinking of?” The beta questioned.
Damien looked at him and waved him off.
“You may leave”
“Oh, okay. Goodbye Alpha” he walked out of the room.

A Week Later
“I still cannot go out?” Hazel asked Axel and he sighed, taking hold of her shoulders.
“You have me, you have Sana too. What do you need to go do outside?” He asked.
“I just want to go out. We… We have not even gone out on dates yet”
“We will go out on many dates when everything is settled, alright?” He asked and she nodded.
He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.
“Axel, the other time. Why did Rex try killing me?” Hazel asked.
Axel took her hands and gave them a soft squeeze before kissing on the soft skin.
“You have to stay away from Rex. He does not like you and wants to kill you.”
“If he does not like me, does that mean he should kill me?” Hazel did not think his words made any sense.
“I know it all does not make much sense right now but just do as I say and never go see him for anything. In fact, do not go out to see anyone except for Clarissa, she is the only one I can trust to at least care about your life”
“But why? Why does it seem like everyone wants to kill me? It… It’s getting frustrating” her face squeezed.
“Not everyone wants to kill you but…. Let’s not talk about it right now, Hazel. Sana is coming”
“Miss Hazel” Sana called with a wide smile on her face.
“Sana” Hazel called her name with an equally soft smile.
“Look what I drew” Sana turned the drawing book in her hands to the couple.
It was more like a drawing of a family of three.
“Looks like a family, who are they?” Axel asked, softly.
“This is you, Sir Axel. This is you, Miss Hazel and this is me” she pointed out to the each figure in the picture.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“So cute” Axel pulled her up to his thighs and pulled her cheek playfully.
“We all look so good. So why don’t we take a picture together right now to replicate your drawing?” Axel asked.
“Well, well, that’s one good idea” Hazel agreed and Axel brought out his phone and took a selfie of the three of them.
“Here… Use my phone too so I can have a picture of us” Hazel gave her phone to him and Axel clicked more pictures of the three of them.
“Yay, the pictures are all pretty. Is is it because we are all pretty?” Sana asked and Axel chuckled.
“Yeah, that’s right”
“We so much look like one family” Hazel ran her hands over the screen of the phone as if in a daze.
“We live like a family too” she mumbled and then turned towards Sana.
“Why don’t we just become a family? Why don’t you call me…. Mommy?” She asked and Sana’s eyes widened and then she smiled and then her smile turned into a huge grin.
“Really?”
“Yes, really” she affirmed.
Sana jumped onto her in huge excitement.
“Thank you mommy” Hazel felt her heart warm up as Sana called her mommy.
She wrapped her arms around her and the both of them hugged while Axel just stared on with the phone still in his hands.
He took a look at the picture in the phone and then at Hazel and Sana.
“Sana” he called and Hazel let Sana out of her embrace.
“Sir Axel” she called.
“Well….” He started and looked towards Hazel.
“Since you are calling her mommy and I am her mate who is going to get married to her soon, I think it is only right that you call me….” He paused for seconds.
“That you call me daddy” a look of excitement ran across the face of the little girl.
“Really? I can call you daddy?” She asked.
“If you want to”
Sana jumped on him, hugging him tightly. Axel smiled and pulled Hazel into their hug, their family hug.
