Forbidden Love

Break me like a promise

I followed Silas quickly out of Jack's house , Curtis joining us shortly after. I felt relieved despite it all, Jack was finally dead , he wouldn't be coming back for me this time. I stayed close to Silas as he spoke to Curtis and the other pack members.

" He's gone, I made sure of it, we know that the government will come back again, they always do when a killing between underworld members happen." Curtis said. That made me nervous, would they be upset? Would they blame me? All that aside I had so many questions for my werewolf lover, Jack said that Silas needed to know how it felt to loose absolutely everything, what did he mean by that. I squeezed Silas's hand lightly looking up at him.

" Im going to take Hazel to the pack doctor, then home, can you guys handle it from here?." He asked, getting an immediate nod as they entered the house to take care of whatever they needed too. Silas scooped me up placing me on his back, I held on tightly and rested my head, falling asleep almost instantly.

—Pack House—

I woke up as Silas slid me off his back onto a hospital type bed. I laid down looking up at the white ceiling above me.

" Silas I'm fine, really." I protested, I felt fine, a little bruised up but that will past. I sat up as he put two hands gently on my shoulders.

" Hazel, please." He pleaded with me, with a groan I laid back.

"Hi Hazel, I'm Lydia, the packs doctor , I'm just going to check you out if that's okay?" She asked, I nodded and allowed her to examine me. I winced when she softly poked at the back of my head. After a very thorough exam I was allowed to sit up again. I swung my legs over the bed and faced Silas.

" So Silas, I'd say she's okay, I suspect a concussion, mild bruising to her ribs and her powers are depleted greatly, but over all she will make a full recovery." She smiled at him before walking out leaving us alone.

" I'm so glad your okay." He said taking one of my hands into his. I nodded at him and pondered the questions in my head.

"Silas, I need to know something." I said, looking at him. He nodded indicating for me to continue with whatever I needed to know.

"Before I got away, Jack said you needed to know what it felt like to loose everything, did something happen?" I asked, the curiosity of my attackers word swarming around my head like an angry pack of bees. He sighed before looking out the window.

" When Jack first came to our pack, he was working as one of the gardners before becoming a trainer." He said adjusting his hands.

"He met Maziko, she was one of the tutors we use to have, before we started allowing the younger ones to attend regular school." He said, his eyes never leaving the window.

" Maziko was a shewolf, but not living as such, she didn't want to acknowledge her powers , she wasn't breaking any rules knowing about the underworld because she was apart of it." He said facing me now.

" Maziko was a kind soul, she loved working with the pack children, she wasn't built for the underworld life, the fighting and blood bath a werewolf could be." He said.

" But she loved Jack, loved him with all her heart, after all they were hand selected by the moon goddess, destined to be together, even tho Jack lived the life she wished not too, she loved him all the same." He look saddened talking about Maziko.

" They had many arguments tho, Jack wanted her to become what he was, and he had no problem trying to physically force her, we noticed the bruises and busted lips but she wouldn't let us take action, she loved him too much and all she wished was for him to accept her chosen path."

" She came to me, one night while Jack was doing rounds, she had fallen pregnant and knew that she wouldn't raise this baby with Jack, she knew she couldn't accept his abusive nature and he couldn't accept her will to live as human as possible, so we offered her an escape, setting her up financially for the rest of her life." He nodded

" On the night of the midnight sun, while Jack was at his weakest we allowed her out, we did our best to allow her to escape, and she made it." He said.

" She is somewhere far away now, raising her baby, without Jack but shes always lived in fear of him finding her." So Maziko wasnt dead, she never died, I breathed.

" Im going to send Curtis to get her first thing, now that Jack is gone Id wish for her to return to the place she called home for many years." I nodded.

" but Jack said he lost it all." I tilted my head.

" He knew I gave her an out, he had no idea she was pregnant, he blames me for taking away what was his." I nodded as the story came to an end, content with hearing everything I yawned and leaned against him letting my eye lids fall heavy.
