I'm Yours and You're Mine

Chaper 8

~Hazel Lynn Maddox~

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bedroom door rattles on its hinges as Felix slams his fists against it. I can hear Alex growling at Felix every time he hits the door. At some point, Felix growls out in frustration, probably at both the Alex and me. This room seems like it spreads for miles, since the room I grew up in was so small.

The darkness of the room seems to echo with the dark feeling inside of my person. To me, it feels like a gloomy cloud is hanging over our heads. Whoever sent that note, knew how to get under some important wolf's skin.

"Hazel!" Felix begs through the door. "Please let me in."

I hear a dull thud against the door and a deep sigh. For some reason, the depressed noise pulls on my heart strings. With a shake of my head, I curl my knees up under my chin and stare at the shadows moving under the door. One set of shadows, gives up and walks away. The other, stays where it remains, unmoving.

"Hazel," Felix pause. "It is okay to be scared."

Who said I am scared?

"It is okay to cry if you need to cry."

Cry? Why is he assuming I need to cry?

He sighs softly. "It is okay to show weakness. You have always been so strong." His hand lightly taps against the door. "You may not know in this moment that we are mates. Just know that I know that you are my everything. I will do whatever I possibly can to protect you." He pauses before he says anything more. "I want to promise you that no harm will ever befall you for as long as I live."

Felix quiets down for a minute and steps away from the door. "Just know that I love you, Hazel."

My chest aches at his words. My vision becomes a hazy mess as water droplets land on my hands. Something pulls me towards the wolf standing on the other side of that door. My heart flutters wildly when I realize that Felix is walking away from my room.

Next thing I know, I find myself standing out in the hallway. My nose is a running mess with snot flowing. Tears leaving streaks on my face as my sniffles catches Felix's attention. He turns to look at the wild mess standing in front of him, out in the hallway. It is silent enough to hear the hinges from the door swinging as my sniffles fill the rest of the air. 

"You are no fair, Felix Sanders." His eyes catch mine. My hand clutches my shirt above my aching heart. "I have no idea why I am even standing here crying." I aggressively rub my snotty nose. "I have no idea why I even came out here."

"It's okay." He slowly steps towards me with his hands out as if he is trying to help a wounded, scared animal.

I yank on my shirt in desperation. "My heart aches, Felix! You do nothing but anger and frustrate me."

My body collapse in the middle of the hallway floor, racking with sobs. I don't want to admit that I have feelings for this stupid Alpha in front of me. I don't want to let all me bottled up feelings from the last several years out. I don't want to acknowledge that I am much weaker than I would like to be.

"I'm sorry, Hazel."

Felix wraps his arms around my shaking body and pulls me close. My heart aches a bit more as I let him. Suddenly, a light pull tugs at my mind. A pull that is pulling me towards Felix. It is a comforting feeling. One that wraps me up in a warm blanket.

"Why do I want to be near you, even though you anger me?" Felix just rocks us back and forth on the ground. "Why do I find myself thinking about you when you are not around me? Why is any of this happening?"

"Shh." Felix buries his fingers in my hair and kisses my temple. "Let's not worry about that now."

~Felix Ray Sanders~

"Perhaps it may be time to think about adding extra members to the patrols." Zane stands up straight with a stretch. "More patrols would also be advised."

"Hmm" Aeryn keeps is focus on the map in front of us.

Irritation flows through my system at his petty response. "Something needs to be decided and soon. We only have two days before they shift." The irritation was evident as I spoke the words.

He holds up a hand in my direction. "All in due time. Somethings take time to plan."

"Time?" My wolf snaps. "You do not have time."

Alex picks that very moment to walk through the door with some refreshments. So, I puck that time to leave before my wolf gets out of control. I head straight back to the bedroom where I left Hazel this morning. If anything, she will be able to calm me down, even if she does not realize it herself. In my rush, I am outside her door in the matter of minutes.

"Are you going to stand out there all day?" Her voice wafts through the door and caresses my ears. "Come in, Felix."

Hazel is standing there before a mirror, looking at a light blue colored dress. Her reflection looks at me through the mirror and she gives me a smile. As cheesy as it sounds, my heart gives me a little jump in surprise.

"Are you just going to stand there?" Her voice brings me back to the present.

Shutting the door behind me, I take a seat on the mattress. "What are you doing?"

She sets the dress down. "One of the pack maids brought it by, saying something about there being a formal party to welcome me back home and such."

"And when is this party supposed to happen?"

She shrugs. "I wanted to talk to you, if that is okay?"

"Of course."

Hazel fidgets with the seam of her shirt, showing me that she is nervous to discus this topic. She glances around the room to avoid looking at me.

"I do not want you thinking that I am weak." She raises a hand before I can interrupt. "I have basically been alone all my life. I am not going to lie when I say that I definitely feel some sort of pull towards you. I just have no clue what that pull means."

She pauses and looks around the room again.

"I just wanted to tell you that. So don't go thinking that you won the lottery or something because I am being nice to you."

Holding my hands up in a surrender, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Hey guys!

It has been a few weeks since I have been able to update. I do apologize. Just know that this is constantly on my mind. I will let you guys know that I will try my best to update as fast as I can. This book is turning out a bit different than what I had originally planned. So, majority of this book is staying the same or is being portrayed in a different way but will be keeping the same story line. I feel like I just need to portray this book better than what it was at. 

Thank you for being so patient!
