Hazel^
•~•~•

"Where's my best friend!?" A voice yelled from downstair, followed by a door slamming.

Noah groaned into my neck as he pulled me closer.
"Tell her to go away" he mumbled.
"Noah we haven't seen them in awhile. Besides you agreed to them coming over" I laughed.

"It's too early" he grunted.
"It's 1 in the afternoon Noah. Stop being a baby and get up" I laughed at him as I tried pushing him away.

He growled and tightened his hold on me.
"Noah let me go or no kisses for a week" I told him in a dead serious tone. He snapped his head up at me and look at me with wide eyes.
"You're not serious" he glared.
"Aren't I?" I said and glared right back.

We glared at each other for a minute before he cracked and groaned before letting me go.
"Good boy" I giggled and gave him a quick kiss before opening the door to go downstairs.

"As much as I love when you wear my clothes, you're only wearing my shirt and nothing underneath babe" Noah informed.
My eyes widened as I remember what he said was true so I ran into the closet and put on some underwear, leggings and fluffy socks.

When I exited the closet I saw Noah had changed into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt.
I smiled and took his hand then led us downstairs.

"Lily!" She exclaimed and ran to me, wrapping her arms around me.
"Hi Charlie" I giggled as I hugged her back.

"I missed you" she pouted when she pulled away.
"I missed you too. Hey Luke" I smiled at her then waved at Luke.

"Hey Lily" he smiled then turned to look at Noah who had a grumpy look on his face, "someone looks grumpy" he chuckled.

"Well I was enjoying quality time with my mate before we were rudely interrupted" he grunted and moved into the kitchen.
"Don't mind him" I chuckled and led them into the kitchen where Noah began making breakfast.

"Have you guys eaten?" Noah asked them.
"Nope" Luke replied as we all sat on the stools by the counter.

He nodded and went to get more ingredients from the pantry.

For the next hour we caught up on everything that's happen.
I told them about my past life which made them both angry which was expected.
I told them about my birth mom and dad and my wolf along with the powers I have.

"My Dad told me I have two older brothers but one of them disappeared soon after I was born. My dad and my other brother are coming later today though so I can meet him" I told them.

"I'm so sorry you had to live like that" Charlotte frowned and went to hug me.
"It's ok Charlie. I'm ok and I'm glad that you guys found me. I'm happy here" I replied and hugged her back.

"We'll make sure that they get what they deserve" Luke said determinedly as he clenched his jaw. I smiled thankfully at him in reply.

What Noah said about Luke turned out to be true. Luke was like an older brother who protected me like his own sister. And I loved him for that.

"Don't worry Luke. We went to the council a few days ago and we discussed the whole matter. They're going to make sure they get the necessary punishments" I told him with a smile.

He nodded but still looked tense from everything he learned.
Charlotte walked over to him and hugged him, instantly calming his anger. He smiled down at her and kissed her forehead.

"Guys, I have to go for a little while. I'll be back soon" Noah announced as he re-entered the living room.
"Where are you going?" I asked with a frown.

"They found a rogue on the territory and brought her to the cells for questioning so that's where I'm going" he replied.
"Wait her?" I asked, "I'm coming with you" I told him and stood up.

"You don't have to" he sighed.
"Noah I'm coming. For all I know she could be in the same situation I was in when you found me" I said sternly as I slipped on my shoes.

He sighed before nodding in agreement. Luke and Charlotte decided to come along and soon we ended up at the cells.

I smiled in greeting to the guards at the door who smiled back before returning to their stoic expressions.
I wrinkled my nose at the stench of blood and filth as we walked down the steps.

I could hear the growls and whimpers from the few prisoners down here. I don't know why they're here but I plan on asking Noah later.

We began walking towards the last cell and I froze when I smelt a familiar scent over the filthy smell. I gasped and began running towards the scent, ignoring the calls from Noah.
"Oh my god! Noah open the door!" I yelled towards him when I saw the person inside the cell.

"Lily what's wrong?" He asked as he grabbed the keys from his pocket.
"I know her, now open the damn door" I said.

He frowned but complied with my request. I pushed past him and ran inside.
"Hazel" I called out as I shook her sleeping body. She groaned and turned over towards me before open her eyes.

"Lily! You're ok" she gasped and hugged me to which I gladly hugged her back.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her as I pulled away and rested my hands on her shoulders.

I gasped when I saw her face.
She had a black eye, a split lip and bruises on her cheek. I looked away from her face and inspected her body. She had cuts and bruises along her legs and arms, similar to the ones I had when I-

"Oh no. Hazel please tell me they didn't do this" I said as I felt my eyes tear up.

"They tried to make me tell them where you went. I told them the truth and that I had no idea where you were. They came back one day after searching for you. They had these triumphant smirks on their faces. They said they found you. They still thought I helped you escape and wouldn't believe me when I told them I didn't" she explained to me.

"Hazel I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. I-" I cried but she cut me off.
"Lily this isn't your fault. Please don't blame yourself" she pleaded.

A sob escaped my lips as I stared down at the bruises that littered along her arms. I felt arms wrap around me from behind and I was pulled into the embrace of my mate.

"Shh baby. It's ok, please don't cry" he soothed as he rubbed my back comfortingly. I continued to cry into his chest as he whispered comforting words into my ear.

I let out a small hiccup as my crying slowed. With the heel of my hand, I wiped my tears away before smiling thankfully at Noah.

"Noah this is Hazel, the girl who would help me back in my old pack. Hazel, this is my mate, Alpha Noah King" I introduced the two.

"Nice to meet you Alpha" Hazel smiled before bowing her head respectfully.
"You too Hazel. Thank you for everything you've done for my mate" he smiled as he tightened his hold on me.

She smiled at him and turned back to me.
"To answer your question, yesterday they brought me down to the basement and beat me for their own amusement. They ignored my pleas for them to stop. This morning I woke up and decided to run. I ran until I was caught by the boarder patrollers and they brought me here" she explained.

"Come on Hazel. Let's bring you back to our house and get you cleaned up" I said as I stood up and helped her stand.
We left the cells and walked to our house. I asked the boys to stay in the living room while Charlotte and I brought Hazel to my room.

"Here's some clothes. The bathrooms through there" I smiled as I handed her a stack of my clothes and gestured to the bathroom.
"Thank you" she smiled and went into the bathroom.

"Lily your father's here along with your brother" Noah told me through mind link.
"Tell them I'll be down in a minute" I replied.

Hazel then exited the bathroom wearing a pair of my sweatpants and a t-shirt.
Her wet hair was in a messy bun and I frowned when I saw she had bruises in the shape of hand marks on her neck.

"Oh Hazel" I sighed sadly as I walked towards her an exams the bruises on her neck.
"Don't worry about it. I'm healing, see" she said and pointed to her arms.

The small cuts had healed and the deeper ones were beginning to close. The bruises were turning into a greeny-yellow except for the ones on her neck which were still a purply-blue but thankfully the wounds on her face had healed.

"My brother and father are downstairs. If you're ok with it, I'd like you to meet them" I smiled.
"I'd loved to" she smiled back.

I took her hands and led us downstairs. I frowned when I felt her stop. I turned to look at her to see her sniffing the air. She smiled and began dragging me downstairs.

I looked at Charlotte and saw she wore the same confused expression as I did. We reached the living room and I saw Noah and Luke sitting on the couch and my father and another man sitting on the other couch.

I guessed that the man was my brother and smiled. Hazel froze beside me and stared at my brother then he suddenly snapped his head in our direction, his eyes immediately locking on Hazel figure.

"Mate" they both whispered before Hazel ran towards him and he stood up, catching her on his arms.
They hugged each other tightly before pulling away and kissed.

"Awe" I squealed as I clapped my hands excitedly.
"Looks like I have another daughter" my father chuckled as the newly found mates pulled back from their kiss. Hazel blushed as my brother grinned. I walked over to Noah as sat on his lap while Charlotte sat on Luke's.

"Zander, this is your sister Lillian. Lily, this is your older brother Zander" our father introduced. I grinned and sat up again, wrapping my older brother in a hug.

"Nice to see you again little sister" he chuckled happily as he hugged me tightly.
"Again?" I asked.

"Well I am only 5 years older then you so I did meet you when you were born" he explained with a smile.
"Well it's nice to see you again too" I grinned and hugged him again.

I pulled away and went to join Noah while Zander sat beside Hazel.
"Zander this is Hazel. She's my step-sister. She helped me a lot in my old pack" I smiled as I nodded to his mate that sat beside him.

He smiled down at her but froze when he noticed the bruises on her neck. He growled and looked up at her with angry, red eyes.

"Who touched you?" He growled. She gasped and looked to me for help.

"Zander, I need to talk to you about some things but you need to control yourself" I said calmly as I looked eyes with his angry red ones.

He snarled at me but I ignored it.
"Did father explain to you what happened in my past?" I asked him.
"No, he said you would in your own time" he replied through gritted teeth, obviously trying to stay calm.

"Hazel I need you to keep him calm because he will flip out and lose control" I warned her. She nodded and moved to sit on Zander's lap then began brushing her hands through his hair. He closed his eyes and sighed then opened his eyes again, that were thankfully back to his normal colour.

"My adoptive mom died when I was nine in a rogue attack and I was blamed. I was abused and used as a slave by the pack including my adoptive father and his new family. Hazel was the only one who showed me any kindness. Her mother married my father making her my step mom and she also has a sister, Layla. They treated me the same as my old pack did" I began explaining and I could see he was getting angry again so I looked at Hazel and she nodded.

She pecked his forehead before grabbing one of his hands and rubbing her thumb over his knuckles while her other hand ran through his hair. I look at my own mate who was having the same reaction.
No matter how many times he hears this story, he has the same reaction. I began doing the same as what Hazel was doing with Zander and he began to calm down.

"Then something happened when I was 15 that no one knew about except for my adoptive Dad and the Beta. The Beta began forcing himself on me when I was 15 and continued to until I escaped a few months ago during a rogue attack" I finished and heard several growls sound from each male that was in the room.

"When Lily escaped, my stepdad began searching for her along with the Beta. They beat me because they thought I knew where she was and that I helped her escaped. A few weeks ago, they came back and dragged me down to the basement. They told me they found her but were still convinced I helped her escape. I escaped this morning and ended up here" Hazel explained as she continued trying to calm her mate.

Zander let out a furious growl as he pulled Hazel closer and began sniffing her neck to calm himself. I could see my father shaking beside him with his eyes and jaw clenched shut.

My father leaned his head to the side before letting out breath. He opened his eyes and was now strangely calm.

"How did you calm down?" I asked curiously. Usually if someone is as mad as he was, your mate was the only one who could calm you down that quickly.
"Your mother" he smiled.

"H-how?" I stuttered.
"I'll explain another time dear" he smiled. I nodded in understanding and turned to Zander who looked calmer.

"You ok now Zander?" I asked him softly as I continued running my hands through Noah's hair calmingly.

He nodded as he looked up at me and sent me a small smile. I smiled back and went to stand up.
"Well you're welcome to stay here. I'm sure you and Hazel will want to share a room and father I'll show you your room" I said with a happy smile.

We said goodbye to Charlotte and Luke then I led the new couple and my father upstairs while Noah walked beside me.
"Dad this is your room" I said as I opened the door. He nodded and walked in with a small suitcase that I just realised he was carrying.

We continued down the hall until we reached the other spare bedroom.
"And this is your room guys. Just kept the noise to a minimum" I winked and grinned cheekily when Hazel blushed furiously and Zander smirked.

"No promises" he winked in reply and led his bashful mate into the room. I chuckled as I turned to face my own mate.

"That wasn't nice to tease your sister like that Lily" he tutted playfully.
I shrugged and laughed as I began walking to our own room with him following behind me.

He closed the door behind him as I walked into our closet and changed into one of his shirts.
I walked out to see him stripping down to his boxers. I squeaked in surprise and quickly covered my eyes with my hands.

I heard him chuckle before telling me I can look. I yelped when I saw him standing in front of me with only his boxers on.

"Don't act all shy now baby. You'll be seeing more soon enough" he smirked as rested his forehead on mine. My breath caught in my throat at his statement.
I shook my head mentally and raised my head to lock eyes with his. With a new found confidence, I smirked at him.

"I'm looking forward to it" I whispered teasingly into his ear. I playfully bit his earlobe before pulling away from him.

I winked before walking away from him and entering the bathroom, making sure to lock the door. I giggled quietly when I heard him groan frustratingly.
I exited the bathroom and hopped into bed beside him. His arms instantly wrapped around me and he nuzzled his face into my neck.

"Goodnight Noah" I said and closed my eyes.
"Goodnight mate" he mumbled then pressed a soft kiss on my mark. I smiled before falling into a peaceful sleep.
