His Human Mate

Chapter 3

Hazel's POV

“Bye Hazel, good luck with your first day” Rose said to me as she made her way to her school.

“Thanks, bye” I said to her while waving my hand. When she left, I turned around and looked at the big building in front of me.

It’s my first day in my new college. I am in first year. I am doing Business administration and management.

Uncle Samuel did all the formalities of admission. Not only for me but for Harry as well. Today it’s his first day as well in his new school. Luckily his school is just at ten minutes walking distance from my university.

Rose is in that school as well so I don’t have to worry about him. He left early in the morning with uncle Samuel as there were some procedures needed to be done. While I came with Rose.

Steve is in the same university as me. After that incident, two days ago Steve didn’t come home but is staying at his friend’s place.

We didn’t inform anything to uncle and Aunt as he told us. He didn’t want them to worry. I was so scared that day. I am glad I didn’t meet that boy again. How can I, I didn’t get out of home again after that day.

Rose informed me that his name is Emmett Kingston. He is the richest man in this town. Everyone is scared of him. He always gets what he wants.

But now I am dreading in fear. Because I know now I will have to face him as he is in the same university.

The moment Rose told me that he and his friends are also studying here, I refused to get enrolled in this university. But I had to. This is the best university in this town and Aunt wanted me to get enrolled in here.

I couldn’t tell her the reason why I didn’t want to study here, so I had to accept it. So here I am walking towards my doom on my own.

‘Maybe Emmett forgot everything about me. He said those words just to scare me as I interrupted their bullying' I encouraged myself by thinking like this.

I already have my schedule with me so I directly went in the direction of my locker. I took out the books for my first lecture and made my way to classroom.

As I am two weeks late, I will have to catch up a lot. I entered inside the class. Majority of seats are occupied. I raked my eyes around to find an empty seat.

I started walking at the back as there are few empty seats. After few minutes a girl sat beside me and said, “hey”.

“Hey” I replied with a smile. I am an introvert so it is difficult for me to make new friends.

“You are new here?” she asked. She is beautiful. She have blonde hairs and blue eyes. She is wearing a light yellow dress. With a kind smile on her face, she looks like an angel.

“Its my first day today” I replied.

“I am Claire” she introduced.

“Hazel” I told her my name. Before we could say anything else teacher entered in the class.

“That’s it for today, any doubts” Mrs. Smith asked at the end of the lecture. Few students asked their doubts which she answered. I enjoyed her lecture.

“So students, have you found your partner for the projects” she asked.

“Partner?” I asked Claire.

“Yes we have to do some projects in pair of two, and we have to find a partner from third year students” she said.

“But I don’t know anyone here” I stated honestly.

“That’s the task. We have to convince our seniors to become our partner to do the projects. They will ask you all sorts of questions like why they should pair with us instead of someone else”

“It will help us to approach new people and will improve our convincing skills. It’s a test to make a right decision by judging someone in few meetings and deciding whether to work with them or not.”

“ We will also learn how to work in team with these projects. That is what Mrs. Smith told us on first day” Claire told me.

It sounds exciting at the same time difficult as well.

“Okay guys you have three days to decide your partner, otherwise you will have to do all projects alone through out the year” saying this she left.

“Three days” I muttered under my breath.

“Have you found your partner?” I asked her.

“Not yet, I talked with three seniors. Two of them were very arrogant and bi**hy while the third one was very flirtatious.” She said with a defeated sigh.

‘its going to be difficult, finding a right partner' I thought.

Three more lectures went by. Just like what uncle and Aunt told me, this university is nice. All the professors have unique way of teaching which I am enjoying.

It’s lunch break. I and Claire made our way to cafeteria. Claire introduced me to Sophia. Just like Claire, she is also very nice.

Three of us were eating while talking together when someone came to our table.

“Sophia, Seth is beating Daniel very badly” he said.

“What, let’s go” Sophia said and got up from her chair and started running. Rose followed behind her. Looking at their faces I knew that it is something very serious, so I also followed them.

We got out of the building and reached the garden area of campus. Many students have surrounded the area.

We walked past few students and the scene in front of me filled my heart with fear.

Seth is straddleling over a boy and is punching his blood stained face again and again.

He is the same boy who was beating Steve two days ago. They are ruthless bullies. How can they beat anyone they want to.

Sophia went to Seth and asked him to stop but he didn’t. I was about to go to help her when Claire held my arm and shook her head in no.

“Don’t, you will get in big trouble” she said. Her worried face and glossy eyes told me how much she wants to help her but can’t. And I clearly understand why.

My eyes once again focused on Sophia who is going somewhere. She stopped in front of someone and my heart dropped upon realizing who he is.

Emmett Kingston.

Is he the one who told Seth to beat Daniel.

“please Emmett tell him to stop. He will kill him” Sophia pleaded. My heart broke seeing her like this. I just couldn’t stand there so I decided to help her.

I could only take one step when I heard his voice which stopped me in my track.

“Will you still beg me to stop Seth if that bastard would have tried to force himself on you?” he asked.

Did Daniel really...

Sophia is as shocked as me and Claire.

“Got nothing to say? He was harassing a woman and now he deserves to be punished” he said calmly.

My hand made its way to my mouth and a gasp left from crowd when Sophia got down on her knees,

“I apologize on his behalf Alpha, please let him go” she begged again. But it looks like her pleadings are going on deaf ears.

He is just staring at her with emotionless eyes.

Suddenly I saw a slim hand placing on his chest. My eyes landed on the girl who is standing beside Emmett. She looks just like a model. Her other hand is resting on his waist.

He looked at that girl and his eyes softened a bit. He held her hand which is on his chest and I felt an unknown pain building in my heart.

“Forgive him” she said softly and he nodded at the brown haired boy, standing beside him who was also present that day.

“its enough Seth” that brown haired boy said and Seth stopped.

This girl must be someone important in his life for him to listen to her wishes. But why this fact is hurting me like this.

Tears which I was trying to hold back so badly, started streaming down when she placed her lips on his cheek, kissing him.

“Thank you baby” she said sweetly.

My heart clenched in pain and I felt my knees buckling when he didn’t push her away but placed his hand on her waist.

“Are you okay Hazel?” I heard concerned voice of Claire asking me. But I didn’t give her any response. My eyes are focused on them.

‘Why am I feeling so much pain' I thought.

I felt something break inside me and immense pain shot through my heart when she pressed her lips on his. I feel like someone is squeezing my heart painfully.

Suddenly our eyes met and his eyes widened in shock.

Without wasting even a second I turned on my heels and ran away.

I made my way to washroom and thanked God when I found it empty.

I don’t know why I am feeling so much hurt but I want it to stop. Tears continued to fall down from my eyes.

My phone stated ringing and I picked it up instantly when I saw the caller ID.

“how are you sweetheart?” I heard his voice asking me and a sob left from my mouth.

“What happened baby? Why are you crying?” he asked. I can sense worry in his voice.

“I… miss you… Brian” I lied.

“I miss you too love” he said at the same time door of the washroom opened with a bang.

My teary eyes locked with his furious ones. Just by looking at his darkened eyes, my breath got stuck in my throat due to fear.

A gasp left from my mouth when he locked the door and pinned me to wall while asking,

“Who is this Brian?”
