His Human Mate

Chapter 6

Hazel’s POV

“Wow Hazel, you are looking stunning” Rose said. I can see admiration in her brown orbs. I blushed at her complement and replied shyly, “thank you Rose, you are also looking gorgeous”.

I meant what I said. She is really looking very beautiful in her Black dress which hugged her body perfectly. It reached till her mid thighs. Her hairs are swaying freely. She has applied some make up which is enhancing her beauty even more. She looks beautiful.

I am wearing a blue colour dress which reached just above my knee. The dress is pretty. I let my hairs loose and have applied light make up.

She blushed at my comment and mumbled a thank you before we made our way outside.

We are going out. Steve’s friend has invited him to a party. Rose was also accompanying him. Uncle told him to take me and Harry as well so that we can hang out. And he agreed without any hesitation.

At first I refused but then agreed when Rose gave me her best puppy look which I couldn’t refuse.

So here I am heading towards driveway where Steve and Harry are waiting for us.

“Wow…. Girls you are looking… breathtaking” Steve said and Harry nodded in agreement.

“you both are also looking very handsome.” Rose commented. Steve is wearing a black jeans, black T-shirt and black denim jacket over tee with black boots. He is looking really handsome.

Whereas Harry is wearing a blue shirt and black jeans. Top two buttons if his shirt are undone. His brown hairs are looking messy. But still he is looking really good.

We settled inside car. Me and Rose on the backseat. Steve is driving and Harry is sitting beside him.

Whole ride they were talking about many things. But my mind was elsewhere.

That day, on my first day of college, Brian called me at night. He was very angry. I wanted to tell him the truth but he wasn’t listening. He was drunk and was continuously cursing me calling me different names. So I disconnected the call.

Next day I couldn’t muster the courage to call him. I knew I have hurt his feelings and I was feeling guilty. I want to apologize but I will wait till his anger calms down and he is ready to hear me.

After first day, I didn’t see Emmett again. Yesterday he didn’t come to university and today is Saturday.

I was happy that he was not around to bother me but at the same time I was a little worried.

‘Why didn’t he come? Did something happen to him?’ These thoughts kept repeating in my head making me restless.

And to tell you the truth, I have no idea why I am worried about the man who is nothing but a bully to me.

Yesterday, I heard many things about him and they were not at all pleasing to hear.

I heard that he rules the college. No one can go against him, not even teachers. He does what he wants. Everyone respects him and obey his each command. He gets angry easily and whenever he is angry, he beat people mercilessly.

Everyone is afraid of him and tries to stay away from him. They do their best to not get on his nerves. There are many more things I heard about him. It did nothing but cause my fear for him to increase even more.

“We are here” I came out of my thoughts upon hearing Steve's voice. We got down from the car. It’s a two story house and looks beautiful from outside.

“lets go in” Steve said and we followed behind. As soon as we entered inside the sound of loud music fell on my ears.

The whole place is filled with people. Some are dancing freely while some are making out openly. Some people are just standing and talking with their friends.

There is drinks counter and a food zone. This place is filled with smell of alcohol and smoke. I cringed at the smell.

I am not a fan of party, especially not this kind of.

“You are here buddy” a boy who seems to be of same age as me came and hugged Steve.

“Hi Rose, glad to see you here. You are looking stunning as always” he said after pulling away from Steve.

“thanks Ron” Rose said shyly.

“And who is this beautiful lady here” Ron asked, openly checking me out. I held Harry’s hand, knowing very well that he must be angry.

Though he is my younger brother, he is very protective of me.

“She is my cousin Hazel and her brother Harry. And guys he is Ron, my friend and host of this party” Steve introduced.

“Hello” I and Harry muttered in unison.

“Hazel, it’s a beautiful name just like you” he said holding his hand out for a hand shake with me.

But before I can hold his hand Harry held it and gave a firm shake saying, “hope you won’t mind us joining you”.

“Of course not, in fact it’s good that you came” Ron said the last part looking at me.

“Harry, Hazel and Rose, call me before leaving the party. Enjoy the party. And one more thing, Harry and Rose, no drinking” Steve instructed like an older brother.

After that he left with Ron. Rose's friends called her so she went towards them. I and Harry made our way to drinks counter and sat down on the empty chairs.

“Are you okay, Hazel” he asked me with concern.

“I am, you don’t have to stick by my side. Go and enjoy yourself” I told him.

“there is no way that I will leave you alone where boys are looking at you as if you are the most tasty desert here” he said with a clenched jaw.

I frowned upon hearing his words and looked around to find many boys are looking at me with lustful eyes.

“Don’t worry, I will be fine” I said giving his hand a squeeze.

“I know, you are my strong sister after all” he said with a small smile which I reciprocated.

“you know if Uncle and Aunt wouldn’t have forced us, I would have never came here” he said.

Even I wouldn’t have come here. Unlike other teenagers, we don’t like to party or drink. And we have a big reason for not liking such things.

We got soft drinks for us and talked about our good times. He told me about his new school and his friends. I also told him about my new college, skipping Emmett’s part.

I am sure if I tell Harry about everything, he will go to Emmett and fight with him. He started learning fighting and boxing one year ago and he became really good at it. But I don’t want him to get involve with Emmett. He is too dangerous.

Our talk was interrupted when he received a call.

“its James” he said with a smile. “Go out and talk. You won’t be able to hear him with this loud music” I said.

“But…”

“ no buts Harry, go and talk. I will be fine” I said to him. James is his best friend. They are very close and used to spend a lot of time together. But now, as we moved here, they can only talk on calls.

“Okay, I will be quick” he said and answered the call while making his way out. I am sure they are gonna talk for a long time.

I feel guilty towards Harry. Instead of having fun he have to spend his time with me, looking after me.

I wonder if we wouldn’t have suffered from those things in past, we could be free from our fears. He wouldn’t have to be worried about me all the time when we are out. He didn’t need to act like a protective elder brother, when he is younger than me.

I sometimes blame myself for being this weak. For trapping him because of my fears.

“why a beautiful girl like you is sitting alone here” A boy sat down on the chair next to me. I can smell alcohol from him. He is good looking but the way he is looking at me, with lust made me alert.

“nothing” I replied firmly without looking at him.

“Would you like to have a dance with me beautiful? He asked.

“No” I denied.

“why? Let’s dance or we can do something else if you want” he said huskily licking his lower lip seductively.

I felt disgusted by his suggestion and got up from the chair to leave. But he held my hand and pinned me against counter, placing his both hands on either side of me, caging me.

“Let me go” I said, hiding my fear though I am shaking from inside.

“I don’t want to” he said leaning closer to me. He is standing too close for my liking.

“Okay then” I said and hit him with my knee where sun doesn’t shine. He groaned in pain and removed his hands from the counter. I am sure he didn’t expect me to hit him.

I instantly walked away from there. I have this strong urge to leave this place. Suddenly I am having a feeling that something bad is about to happen.

A yelp left from my mouth when I felt a tight grip on my arm which turned me around with a jerk.

My breath caught in my throat when I saw that he is the same boy whom I had hit just a moment ago.

But this time his eyes are filled with anger. His jaw clenched. “How dare you” he gritted angrily. His hold on my arm became painfully tight.

I hissed in pain while trying to free my hand from his steel grip.

“Let me go” I yelled but I am not sure whether he heard me or not because of the loud music surrounding us.

“I won't” he said and pulled me closer to him. My chest made contact with his. A shiver of disgust spread in my entire body when his alcoholic breath fanned my face.

“Let’s have some fun beautiful” he said and leaned closer to my ear, “ I will make sure you enjoy it” he whispered. His lips brushed on my earlobe. My heart is beating loudly due to fear.

I tried to push him away but he is too strong for my small figure. I stomped on his foot with my heel, with all my strength and his hold on me loosened.

I pushed him away and turned to leave when a sharp pain shot through my scalp when he grabbed my hairs in his fist.

“Aah…” a scream left from my mouth because of pain. He made me face him, still holding my hairs.

And what I saw froze me in my place.

His eyes.

They were filled with madness.

I know this look. He is raged because of my protest.

His dark anger filled eyes and this smell of alcohol and smoke reeking his mouth reminded me of him.

And all those memories I have buried deep inside my heart came rushing to me.

I came to my senses when I felt him trailing kisses on my neck. His one hand is still holding my hairs and other rested on my waist, pulling me closer to himself.

Tears started flowing from my eyes. I struggled to get out of his hold but couldn’t.

Then he was pushed away from me. I looked at the person to find an angry looking Harry.

“How dare you?” Harry gritted and punched him on his face. That boy stumbled a bit. Harry once again punched him then again. That boy fell on the floor.

This got everyone's attention. My mouth opened in shock and a gasp left from my lips when Harry straddled that boy's lying figure and started punching while yelling, “how dare you touch her bastard?”

His face is bruised and I saw blood dripping from his wounds. I instantly went near them and pulled Harry away from that boy with great struggle.

“Let’s go, you have beaten him enough” I said to him when he tried to go near that boy to punch him again.

I pulled him with me to leave this place when three boys blocked our way. They look pissed.

“You can’t leave just like this after beating our friend” one of them gritted. Before I could even realize what is happening, they were punching Harry.

One of them is holding my arm. Tears continued to stream down from my eyes looking at my brother getting beaten up because of me.

Instead of helping us, these people are enjoying the show unfolding in front of them.

I leaned down a little and bit that boy’s hand who is holding me. He hissed in pain and released me. Before I could take even a step he held my hairs and cursed, “b***h”.

He raised his hand to hit me. I flinched and shut my eyes tight but opened them when I didn’t feel any pain.

Relief wash over my anxious heart when my eyes fell on the person I never thought that I will ever feel safe around and a whisper left from my lips,

“Emmett”
