Chapter 6 Surrender

Axel became the most respected in the witches town and Sean got jealous of him, Sean had planned to disgrace him and get him banished but it turned out to work in his favour.

Watching Claire and Axel train together made him more envious of them, he wished he had never come to their town.

"Hi Sean" Claire called him forgiving him for what he had done to her,

"Do you want to join us" she asked, he turned to look at Axel who gave him a cold glare,

"No, thank you.

I am fine on my own" he replied not wanting to anger Axel, he had bruises on his body from the blast Axel threw him into.

"Okay" Claire felt down, he was her only friend before Axel came along and she befriended him and spent all her time with him.

She blamed herself for why he did what he did.

Axel returned back home and met Hazel with a pile of books,

"What's all this for" He asked, he didn't think she would be able to read all that.

"These are for you" she said,

"You must be joking" he chuckled,

"I am very serious, you need to learn more about your kind and you can it do that now by reading these books, so read up" she ordered,

"But this is too much"

"Don't get me angry"

Hazel was well aware that Axel knew nothing about his kind, with the rogues he met earlier, he knew they were like him and he felt guilty killing them but she explained to him what they were, she realized that there was a lot that he didn't know about.

Axel studied more each day fully understanding who he was and much more about his kind, he knew about the mating, the packs and territory and most things that he didn't understand, Hazel would explain them for him.

He studied and trained fully embracing who he really was but what Hazel didn't tell him yet was about his father and the prophecy, she felt that he was not ready for such news yet.

Alpha Ethan was a terror to the seven realms when he raised his own pack from scratch, fighting and dominating other packs and having victories over them he made all the Alphas below him making him the supreme Alpha.

He ruled over them with a vicious hand until he met his mate Ariana who put an end to unwavering surge for more power.

Axel would stand no chance against him if he were to go against him, he would be crushed before the war even started.

Eight months to his eighteen birthday, Hazel finally decided to leave the witches town, sneaking out under the cover of the night and into the woods.

"Where are we going?" Axel whispered trying not to make a loud sound.

"To Redmoon pack" she replied.

Axel picked up a familiar scent and halted,

"Go back Claire" Hazel said, no one had that effect on Axel before and she knew in an instant who it was.

"I can't, I have nobody except you guys" she muttered coming out of from behind a tree, two years ago she had lost her father who was wizard and her mother after childbirth though she never knew anything about her not even from her father.

"You guys are my only family and Axel is my best friend"

"Go back Claire, I won't repeat myself again" Hazel sternly said.

"Please let her come, who would she be with" Axel pleaded, he felt so bad for her.

"I have no business with that" Hazel saw Claire as a distraction and didn't want to carry her any further.

"If she goes back then I will follow her" Axel replied with every amount of seriousness in his tone.

He couldn't leave her behind.

"Fine, you can tag along" Hazel finally agreed and Axel smiled.

She couldn't refuse Axel, he was like a son to her.

"Thank you" Claire jumped in excitement and followed them.

Few minutes later, Claire was already panting from the long trek, she had never walked that much before in her life.

"Can we stop for a bit to rest" Claire breathed heavily as she watched them still walking away, she wondered if they had steel as legs.

No one answered and she ran to meet up with them.

"Axel please carry me" she pleaded with her eyes.

"No" he retorted,

"Please"

"No"

"Pretty Please"

"Okay fine" he piggybacked her until they left the forest and entered into another territory.

Hazel senses heightened and she could feel danger lurking around them,

"Pause" she said, they kept their eyes scaling around when a big brown hideous figure lunged in the air and towards Claire, Axel immediately changed and bit it by the neck snapping it.

Before they knew it, they were soon surrounded by ten rogues,

"Fight" Hazel ordered and Luther let out a powerful roar.

He took down five rogues at a row there was tearing and gnashing of teeth, Claire caused pain to two rogues and they whimpered on the cold floor, she snapped their necks and they died, Hazel easily took down three and they were done but before they could move, they were surrounded by a new set of wolves which looked a lot like Axel but with different colours and they were outnumbered.

"We surrender" Hazel spoke out with her hands in the air.
