Chapter 63: Double hazel

**Cayden POV**

I can’t believe I called this girl human. I can’t believe I ever thought she was weak.

, "You can’t just die, right?"

"Caspian," I said, "get me the dagger." After all, when your brother turned rogue, you used that dagger on him and left him in the coffin.

Maybe it’s your turn now. Caspian, you are not getting the dagger, should I go get it myself?

Caspian just stood there, watching her as she unleashed her madness right in front of us. Then my parents entered the room. The moment they walked in, she smirked. Well, isn’t it the parents who gave birth to this monster?

And you, Anna, or whatever your name is, you denied your son is a monster. I clearly saw the vision..him trying to murder his own brothers since he was a child, the devil inside him manifesting. Yet you brushed it off completely.

I couldn’t fight back before because I was foolish, but now I’m going to end him for you. NovelFire

"Who the hell are you?" my father asked sharply.

"I can’t believe old age is getting to you already," she spat. "But since your memory’s clearly slipping, let me give you a little recap."

She stood tall in the middle of the room, fury radiating off her in waves as she addressed my father. NovelFire

"My name is Hazel.. The weak little human girl who got fated to your sons. The one this idiot here rejected.

"And of course, your precious son had to marry me, and everything spiraled from there. I d gave birth. Then, on the very same day, her children were taken away from her. And to top it off, your bastard son murdered my innocent little sister...Ariel...while I was on my way to go take her and kill the rest."

Her eyes burned, voice thick with venom.

"Most of that... happened today."

Father’s face twisted in confusion. "Caspian? Cayden? Who is this? What the hell is going on? Who let this monster in?"

She pinched the bridge of her nose. "Didn’t I just explain myself to you, old man? Ugh, no time to waste with fools."

Then she turned sharply to Caspian. "Since nobody’s getting me the dagger, guess I’ll go get it myself. And let me warn you if anyone dares to move an inch, I’ll rip your throat out and feed your body to the people you love. Cute, right?"

And just like that...she vanished upstairs.

Caspian immediately rushed to me. "You need to get out of here. Now. She’s stronger than before...I don’t know how, but if you stay, she’ll kill you."

"I can’t run," I growled, staggering to my feet. "I just need time. I just need to heal... I just need Ragnar to take over. But I’m not running. I won’t."

"Cayden," Caspian pleaded, eyes wide with fear, "She will kill you. Please... just go."

Mother was already beside me, her voice cracking. "He’s right. You need to leave..now."

"Too late," a cold voice echoed from above.

We all froze and turned. There she was Hazel seated calmly on the Alpha’s chair. My chair. Spinning the dagger in her hand like it was some child’s toy.

Every wolf in the room shifted immediately, sensing the danger in her. Even Father had transformed.

"Aww," she purred, smirking. "Isn’t it adorable? The whole pack, ready to protect their beloved Alpha. But where were you all when my babies were taken? When my sister was slaughtered? Oh, right. Nowhere. But now you want to fight for him?"

Her tone turned sharp, cold, fatal.

"Let me make this simple..if any of you dare to stand in my way, you’ll die."

The wolves growled low, tension buzzing in the air like lightning waiting to strike.

I forced myself up, every bone aching. "Hazel, stop this. Please. They’ll hurt you. Don’t do this..you’re their Luna. You’re still their Luna."

She looked at me and giggled, giggled, like I’d just told her a joke.

"Aww, Caspian," she said mockingly. "Nobody can hurt me. Don’t you see it? I’m no longer that weak little Hazel you once knew. I don’t even know who I am anymore... but let me prove it to you."

With that, she tossed the dagger high into the air.

Everyone’s eyes followed its arc... and in that split second..

Ten wolves dropped dead. Their heads snapped clean, bodies twitching on the marble floor.

Silence.

She caught the dagger without even looking. "See that?" she purred, spinning slowly to face the rest.

"That’s how fast I can end all of you."

Her eyes gleamed. "So I suggest you back off... before I start sending your bodies back to your damn families."

"You kill one more wolf, and I swear, I’ll end you."

All eyes snapped toward the voice. Leon. He emerged from the shadows like judgment itself, rage burning behind his eyes.

"First, you killed Aurora. Now, you’re killing our Alpha and half the pack. How dare you?" His voice cracked, grief and fury laced through every word. "You’ve been pretending this whole time, haven’t you? Hiding what you are?"

He stepped forward, eyes burning into mine..Hazel’s, or whatever she had become.

"I always knew something was off about you. You got fated to them as a human, but I could never prove it. I told Aurora. She brushed it off. She trusted you. And now look at you"

He swung to Caspian and Cayden. "Look at her! A monster."

Hazel tilted her head and gave a lazy, almost amused smirk.

"You talk too much for a weak Gamma, don’t you think?"

She slowly turned to me..

"Why did you make him Gamma again? Ohhh because the real gamma has been staggered in a coffin!"

Then she turned her gaze back to Leon, her tone mocking but sharpened with threat.

"Look, Mr. Gamma, I get it. You’re grieving. You’ve lost your precious witch. Aurora was good to me, too. But here’s the deal...I’m feeling merciful."

Her fingers tightened on the dagger.

"So you can take the door, leave, and let death keep you company. But if you stay here another damn minute, I’ll send you and your Alpha straight to heaven. Wait...No damn way a monster like you is going to heaven."

"Definitely hell.. So which are you picking?" she said and Leon did not move.

She chuckled darkly, her grip shifting.

"Touché."

And then she rose to her full height, that dagger still glinting in her hand. Wolves started to shift, again. Even Caspian finally stood up now, body battered but still ready to fight.

"Hazel,no," Caspian begged.

But she just tilted her head. "Nah, Caspian. I already told you...I’m killing him."

Her voice was so gentle it was chilling. Her eyes had shifted burning yellow, bright and lethal. Her fangs slid out, her claws curled forward.

She raised her handand just before she could strike.

THWACK.

A sound split the air. An arrow. It pierced her chest. Hazel’s body jolted. Her eyes widened in shock. And then

She fell to her knees holding her chest.

"Hazel!" Caspian shouted, racing to her side. He dropped beside her, shaking her limp form, panic carved into every inch of his face.

"Hazel? Hazel, please, say something. Are you okay?" Everyone stood frozen. Staring. Breathless.

I turned, following the direction the arrow had come from.

A figure stood at the door. Cloaked in black, a wide-brimmed hat shadowing their face.

They lifted the hat slowly. And then.. The house gasped. Even I couldn’t believe my eyes.

It was Hazel. But... she was lying on the floor. And somehow...

She was also standing at the door.
