Mated To My Childhood Bully

The door of the hospital ward opened up again and someone else walked in, Rex.

Hazel still continued to struggle against Axel, trying to push him away. With the presence of Rex in the room, Axel reluctantly pulled away from the hug and stood up to his brother.

“Rex” he called.

“Axel” Rex called in response.

“What was all that about yesterday? Why did I call out to you and you ignored?” Axel asked.

“What are you talking about?” Rex feigned ignorance.

“I do not want to see the both of you! The both of you get out!” Hazel yelled at the brothers.

“Hazel” Rex called gently.

“Don’t call my name” Hazel raised her hands up in the air.

“Please, just let me be” she requested from him too.

“I have been in here for a day now and you are just coming to see me? Is this how you treat the one you love? While your brother jumped into the river to save me, what were you doing?” Hazel asked.

“Hazel, please understand…”

“No, I do not want to understand anything anymore”

“No one loves me truly. Not you, not Axel, not Clarissa, no one in this pack loves me” she added, keeping her tears in check as she spoke.

“You know I do” the two brothers said at the same time.

“Get out!!!” Hazel screamed at the both of them.

Rex sighed and dropped the bouquet of flowers that he had brought along with him. He walked away with his head slightly bowed down.

“Yesterday was really a big mistake. I admit that it is my fault and I also know that it would be hard for you to forgive me but I am willing to wait until when you will be ready to” Axel said to her.

Hazel laid on the bed, turning her back against him.

She heard his footsteps as he exited the ward.

“No one loves me”

The next day

“I am really sorry, Axel. I… I was out of my mind. I will correct things. I will let Hazel know that it was never your fault” Clarissa apologized.

She was on her knees as she spoke in front of Axel.

“And what does your apology change?”

“It… It changes nothing. I was stupid, I know. I was just taken over by lust and I could not control myself. I am sorry. I will go meet Hazel and explain things to her. ”

Axel got up from his seat and walked a few steps away.

“You do not have to tell Hazel anything. I will take the blame this time around but the next time you do….”

“There would be no next time, I promise” She cut him off.

Axel said no more and walked up the stairs, to his room.

Clarissa sighed as she dropped to her butt. Even though Axel had told her that he was going to take the blame, Clarissa could not let that happen.

She was feeling too guilty and she could only get rid of a little bit of that self guilt if she came out true to Hazel and let Hazel know how things had really happened.

She got up from the floor, picked up her bag and walked out of the house, heading to Hazel’s home.

Hazel was in her living room, watching a comedy show on the television. She was trying to get rid of the sadness in her heart by laughing it out but it seemed not to be working as her face still maintained the sad look.

She lowered her gaze to the floor and her body moved with a heavy sigh.

Just then, her phone beeped with a message. She picked it up with little interest and saw that the message was from Axel. She hissed and dropped the phone.

A few seconds passed and she picked the phone back. She could not resist opening his message.

“How are you doing now? I will be coming over soon”

“Do not come over. I hate you. If you try coming over, you are only going to meet my corpse” she sent the message back to him and turned off her phone.

Minutes passed before she heard her door click open. She shot up from the sofa, wondering who it could be. Her mind immediately went to Axel but whoever it could be, she did not want to see anyone.

“Hazel” it was the voice that broke her the most, Clarissa.

“Hazel” she called again.

“What are you doing here? Are you here to mock me? Laugh at me for believing that you truly wanted I and Axel together?” Hazel asked.

“I am not here to do that. I am here to…”

“Whatever you are here to do, you should leave. I do not want to hear anything from you or even see you” she turned to leave.

“I used a potion on Axel that night!” Clarissa revealed and Hazel halted in her steps.

She slowly turned towards her.

“What did you say?” Her words were out slowly.

“I…. I used a potion on Axel that night.” Clarissa reached for her bag and brought out a bottle.

“I know Axel probably told you some lies so you don’t have to hate me too much but….”

“This is the potion I used on Axel. That night, he was not seeing me in bed with him, he was seeing you. When you came to the door, he was not seeing you, he was seeing me. I… I am sorry”

“Clarissa” Hazel’s voice cracked.

“I am really sorry” Clarissa dropped to her knees.

“I feel so ashamed of myself for doing this. I was… I was driven by lust for him. I thought I could do it and get away with it. I knew… I knew Axel would reject me so I used this potion on him. I am really sorry for ruining things this much. But can you please forgive him? He really is not at fault. It was all my fault”. Clarissa cried out.

“Just please forgive me. I promise that I will never do it again. Please forgive me” she pleaded.

“I’m…. I am way too shocked to speak! How…”

“I know you are disappointed in me, Hazel. I am disappointed in myself now too and I plan on leaving the pack for some time. I cannot continue staying here after this disgusting act that I have done” she shook her head.

Hazel went silent for a long while before speaking up.

Different thoughts ran through Hazel’s mind before she concluded that there was no reason to believe what Clarissa was saying.

For all she knew, this could be just another plot by Clarissa and Axel to fool her once more and make her believe that Axel was in love with only her.

“I do not believe you! That thing you are holding in your hands could be anything. It might not be a potion! Why should I believe that it is a potion?”

“Tell me, did Axel ask you to come over here and say this? What exactly do the both of you want from me?” She groaned.

“He… He did not ask me to come over here to do this. Hazel, I am telling you the truth so that….”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“So that I can go back to Axel. If you like Axel that much, just take him, have him, he likes you enough to get into bed with you anyways. The both of you do not have to drag me into this! You do not have to make me feel like this! You to not have to come over here to lie to me! You do….”

“I am not lying to you!”

“I can show you how the potion works!”

“I. Do. Not. Want. To. See. Anything.”

“No more of your lies! You all should just let me be!” She yelled, turned away and stormed off into her room.
