Chapter 187 - Sacrifice Her

Alex growled and slowly opened his eyes. He was still in his wolf form and was lying on the bed with Hazel sitting beside him!

Hazel! She had come to save him last night! Did that mean she had forgiven him!

He closed his eyes and turned into his human form again when the girl finally noticed him.

Her eyes widened and a bright smile formed on her lips, 

"Oh! You are finally awake?" she sprung on her feet and ran to bring the water from the bedside and passed it to him.

"How are you feeling now?" she asked in a soft voice that was full of concern and he raised his head to look at her.

He took no initiative to take the glass from her hands but continued to scan her face as if he was trying to find something in it.

Hazel's face burnt when she felt that even after staring for so long, he did not turn his gaze away! 

"Do you know the truth now?" he asked when she did not say a word and she sighed.

"You are still weak and need rest. We will talk about it later!" She tried to negotiate but the man looked at her with doubts.

Why did he feel like she was trying to avoid the conversation? 

"How are you feeling now?" he raised his head and turned to look at the door where Richard was coming in!

That is when he realized what he was doing! Hazel was still the wife of his brother! Feeling regret and pain, he looked away from the girl who felt rejected too but stayed silent.

"I am better! What could ever happen to me?" he shrugged his shoulders and gave Richard a nonchalant look who rolled his eyes.

"You could have died, if your mate had not found you!" He walked closer and landed a punch on his face that was unexpected yet Alex was able to block it just when Richard's fist was an inch away.

"Where have these sharp senses gone last night?" Richard snorted as he took his hands away from his tight grip.

"I do not know whether i should laugh or beat you to get caught by humans this easily! What were you even thinking?

And worst of all, you have even had your smell! Do you have any idea how difficult it was for us?" His voice was neither strong or low but the intensity in it was felt by both Alex and Hazel.

"I did not know something like this would happen! I apologize! I will make sure it will never happen again!" accepting defeat, he bowed his head and took a deep sigh!

Even he was not expecting to lose control over his wolf completely! His senses had always been strong enough to garner the envy of everyone.

"You better not repeat it! Or else I would kill you before them!?" Richard threatened in a cold voice as he took the glass of water from the hands of Hazel and drank it in a single sip as if he was trying to control his anger.

"........"

"........."

"That was for me! Brother!" Alex could not help but remind him with an aggrieved tone but Richard just rolled his eyes.

"You are not having that! Are you? So why did you care if I took it!?

We end up wanting the same things anyway!" he shrugged his shoulders as he sat opposite him.

"......."

"......"

Hazel and Alex exchanged glances. Why did it feel like he was talking about something else, not about the water?

Hazel's eyes filled with glint. Last night when Richard had asked her to leave him and accept Alex, she had denied.

She could not just discard him because she had found her real mate when he had promised her that he would not leave her even if he had found his real mate!

When he was devoted and loyal to her. How could she cheat him when he was the one who saved her and supported her all this time.

Though his mind had taken the decision and she had already told it to him, her heart felt torn. It wanted to lean in the embrace of Alex and did not let him go.

What a mess her life had been! She did not dare to look into the eyes of both men! 

"I shall go and bring something for everyone to eat!" It has been a whole night, they all are exhausted and tired. So I must be hungry too!

She stood up and walked out of the room since the place did not have many maids or working staff. As if Richard did not want to garner attention, he had kept the place isolated.

"What was that about?" asked Alex  when the door was shut by Hazel! His eyes narrowed at the face of his brother who seemed to be talking in puzzles.

"Why do you expect me to tell you everything when you have learnt to hide things?" he snorted and picked up a cushion and leaned leisurely on the sofa in the room.

He closed his eyes as if he was exhausted and paid no heed to Alex. he did not know what to tell him!

Should he tell him that his mate would not accept him because he intervened or should he tell Alex the reality of Hazel and why he had offered her the marriage!

He shook his head. He was not in a position to tell the truth! Both Hazel and Ronald were crazy and made strange decisions. Due to both of them, their brotherhood was at stake now!

"I didn't mean to offend you! I did not want to claim your wife as my mate, brother, that was why I stayed silent!" he explained! All his life only Richard was the one Alex cared about! He had never even dreamt that he would hurt him because of a girl!

"Then what about now? Are you still going to sacrifice her for me?"
