377-She Only Likes Thiago

Author's POV:

Years Ago:

Things changed drastically after Thiago's father passed away. At least for Thiago.

Shaun threw an enormous party to celebrate, but he titled it completely differently so that nobody could question why the party was being thrown.

Enya stood in the corner while everybody was enjoying in the garden, gossiping, and enjoying the food.

"Hey, who are you?” she heard a voice from behind him, and upon turning around, she saw little Corbin staring at her.

“I'm Enya!” she introduced herself, looking over her shoulder at her mother, who was a respected guest at the party.

Shaun now knew he could do anything with Hazel by his side.

“I'm future alpha King Corbin. You are standing on my property, so you need to bow down to me,” Corbin mumbled with a smirk on his lips.

He tied his powerful arms over his chest and rolled his eyes at her for delay.

"I will bow when you are finally the Alpha King," she replied in a very sassy tone.

"You are supposed to talk in a respectful tone with me,” Corbin pouted at her, staring at the teddy she was holding in her arms.

"Give me that," he said, reaching out his hand for her, but she shook her head, refusing to give him her teddy.

“You cannot say no to me,” he growled, attempting to grab the teddy out of her hands, but she pulled away from him and secured herself.

"I just did." She stuck her tongue out and ran in her mother's direction. The moment she hugged her mother's legs, Shaun turned to her.

"Little Enya looks upset; what happened?" Shaun asked, watching his son walk after Enya but stand with his father now.

"He was snatching my Teddy," Enya complained, and Hazel let out a nervous laugh.

"It's okay. Don't be rude. Sharing is caring, you know?" Hazel tried to grab the teddy from Enya to hand it to Corbin, who was still glaring at Enya.

"No! It's mine. If he wanted to play, he could have asked nicely." Enya held the teddy bear even more tightly and refused to let go.

"I'm so sorry. She acts arrogant sometimes.” Hazel was nervously laughing and trying to cheer up Shaun, who didn’t even look much upset.

"It's fine. She is a kid too. And why do you need her teddy? You never play with teddies. Don’t ask for it just for the sake of upsetting her,” Shaun told off his son and then turned to Hazel.

"She must be a hybrid, isn't she?" he looked very impressed even by looking at Enya.

"She is." Hazel caressed her daughter's cheek proudly, smiling at her and then looking back at Shaun.

“Then she must get the powers you have." Shaun stroked his chin, his gaze fixed on Enya.

"She definitely will when it's time," Hazel answered.

"Aha! Hmm! I think you should enjoy the party. I will have a conversation with you about her later on," Shaun said before he walked away with Corbin, who stuck his tongue out to taunt Enya before leaving.

“Enya! Why didn't you give him the teddy? Her father pays us. I could get you a new one,” Hazel said to Enya, shaking her head in disapproval.

"I don't like him." Enya simply shook her head at her mom.

"You need to make friends, Enya," Hazel whispered, smiling at an old couple greeting her.

"I will make friends with that boy I met in the cemetery," Enya answered, a frown appearing on Hazel's forehead.

"What cemetery? What kid?" Hazel had to grab her daughter's arm and pull her to the corner in order to have a talk with her.

“That kid whose mom died," Enya answered, freeing her arm from her mother's grasp, but she couldn't escape her mother's angry glare.

“Enya! Tell me who exactly how do you know about that kid and what cemetery?" Hazel asked her, and this time she looked even angrier.

She didn’t know anything about Enya knowing the little kid. Hearing about Thiago from Enya shook her heart.

"I met him when me and Daddy went to pray for his mommy,” she answered, but grimaced at her mother for questioning her so roughly.

Hazel gulped as she straightened her back and zoned out.

"So your father took you there without my permission, got it?" Hazel said to herself. Her mood has changed so much that everybody can tell she is no longer enjoying the party.

After going through the last two hours of the party like a zombie, she finally said goodbye to Shaun and the others and left with her daughter. Shaun had offered her his own car to drop her home.

She didn't even call or text her husband back when she kept getting his calls.

She knew Shaun's car would have any sort of microphone and cameras, so she didn't want to give him a hint that her husband had been taking their daughter to pray for Mrs. Shepard.

Once they got off the car, she walked into the house, holding Enya by her arms tightly.

"Mommy! Let go, it hurts,” Enya complained, but Hazel snatched her toy away and threw it on the floor while preparing to call for Alaric.

“Alaric!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

“Come out here," she screamed again, and this time, he rushed out of his room and found Enya in tears.

“Let her go.” Alaric lunged at her without even asking what had happened, and he first freed his daughter.

“Are you crazy?" Alaric yelled at her as he held his daughter close to his chest. For a moment, Hazel couldn't talk because she kept staring at Enya and how she was crying.

"I didn't mean to. She is my angel, you know that," Hazel said, trying to get near Enya, who hid in her father’s chest and stole eyes from her mother.

“I'm not sure anymore.” Alaric shook his head and shocked her with what he thought of her.

"You think my daughter is not my priority? Whatever I'm doing, I'm doing it for her,” she yelled, breaking down finally.378-When It Is About Enya.

Author's POV:

Years Ago:

"You took her near those people?" she yelled after she couldn't stay silent for another minute.

"And what is wrong with that?" Alaric asked, looking at her daughter next, "Go to your room, kiddo. I will come in a minute and read you a bedtime story, okay?" Alaric put a huge smile on his lips when talking to Enya, who, by that time, had stopped crying. Enya gave a nod to her father, and after collecting the teddy from the floor, she flashed past them to her room.

"Do you have an ounce of decency left in your body? Why the hell were you taking your anger out on our daughter?" Alaric straightened his back to mutter the words at Hazel.

"Because you took her to that pack. Do you know how Shaun will react when he finds out you have been sympathizing with them?” Hazel didn't shout this time, but her words were mixed with emotions when coming out of her mouth.

"He cannot control us like that. We have done everything he has ever asked us. But now he is interrupting how we teach Enya. I want her to sympathize with others, not become coldblooded murderers like us," Alaric said, as he shook his head at Hazel.

"You think I'm a coldhearted murderer?" Hazel asked and broke down before she could get an answer from him.

"That's what we have become. We are backing up murderers and torturing these little kids. When they all grow up, they will come for our daughter.” Alaric yelled in a muffled tone. Trying to tell Hazel off was

never easy.

"And I am already doing everything in my power to escape that situation. Do you think we are safe if we go against the Alpha

King?" Hazel reluctantly approached him and held his hand. He didn't back away from her, so it gave her enough courage to submit to his chest. She rested her head on his chest, and he calmed down only a little bit.

"Now tell me, what else did you do?" She asked him politely, and that's when he broke the hug and pushed her away with a disgusting look on his face.

"You are only trying to get the information out of me. You think I told someone the whole truth about how we all are involved in snatching the parents away from that miserable kid?" Alaric yelled once he realized his beloved wife was trying to use him just so she could get information out of him.

"I am— am only worried. If you told anyone and Shaun found out, we are all dead. Why don't you understand we are stuck in this mess? I cannot step away after offering them help for so long." She also raised her voice at him out of exhaustion.

"Then how far are we going to keep doing the dirty job for him? Will Shaun control Enya's fate too? Obviously, he will. He will have this power over us where he can make us listen to him.

We will stay imprisoned to him and that means Enya too will suffer with us," Alaric yammered as he sobbed a little. He felt the walls closing in on him every time he realized there was no way out of this mess for them.

"Ju—st calm down, okay? It is all too fresh. Once the whole storm calms down, we will be able to come up with a plan to get out of this mess," Hazel lied to him. So far, she didn't plan to leave Shaun's side. Why would she?

She got lucky. The respect and status she got at the party that night became another reason she didn't want to leave this style of living anymore.

"Really? You are thinking about running away from this mess." With some trepidation, Alaric inquired.

"Yes! Ye—s!" She nodded, stammering and not even able to make eye contact with him.

"I don't know how much I can trust you with this piece of news." Alaric refused to believe her, and rightfully so. Even Hazel could tell she had lost the trust Alaric once had in her.

"After everything, tell me if it is worth ruining our relationship for,” Alaric whispered as he defeatedly sat down on the couch.

"Alaric! It is fine. It will be fine. You just need to stop feeling guilty every two seconds. We don't know those kids; we don't need to know them. Our entire focus should be on our daughter." Hazel sat down with him and spoke softly this time. She didn’t want to trigger him and lose him.

"And what if somebody thinks the same about our daughter and tries to ruin her life?" He asked, slouching down, his eyes stuck in space.

"They won't be able to hurt her. She has a powerful mother, a very loving father, and a Royal Alpha King available to shield her. That's why I am keeping my relationship good with Shaun. When it is time, I will get help from him for Enya's better future,” she said confidently while reaching for her husband's hand, who didn't back away this time.

"Please! After this, promise me we will not do it ever again?” Alaric turned to her, and she faintly nodded, giving him a sweet smile. Her phone rang, drawing her attention away from her friend. She stared at the caller ID and then answered the call with a bit of a frown.

Alaric watched a frown appear on her forehead. Shaun usually never calls at this time, and since they had been together at the party not even hours ago, there seemed to be no reason for him to blow up her phone.

"Hey! I have arrived home, your highness,” Hazel said over the phone, assuring him she was fine.

"I know; I spoke to the driver. I have called you for another reason,” he said from the other side of the call.

"What is it?” She inquired, fearful that he would abandon her with another large project and that she would have another big fight with Alaric, who needed some time before they returned to their ways.

"It is about Enya!" The fake smile on Hazel’s face vanished as Shaun told her what he wanted to be done.
