Hazel like hiking with Nik, exploring the mountains in the US. This was so much better than her last 'camping' trip. "So, do you think these wolves will be receptive to your offer?"
"Hopefully" Nik replied, looking over to her, he smirks, "Are you enjoying yourself?"
Hazel looked up from the collection of new potions ingredients to him. "I am" she smiles, "These are unique ingredients. I can't pass them up." Just as she was about to say more, Nik tackled her to the ground.
"Stay down" he was trying to find whoever just shot at them. Making sure Hazel wasn't hit, he slowly crouched over her. Movement caught his eye, and he flashed towards the attacker. Nik caught the man and gripped him by the neck, "Why did you have to make this difficult?" Niks Hybrid face was on full display and terrifying the wolf in his grip.
Hazel brushed the dirt off herself, walking over to Nik. "Don't kill him, you can use him to show the others."
"What are you?" the wolf wheezed.
Nik smiled, showing off his fangs, "I'm here to offer your pack a chance of never having to shift ever again."
The wolfs eyes widened, looking to Hazel, he said "You're not a wolf."
Hazel shook her head, "Nope. I'm here to watch" smiling sweetly, she asked "Will you take me to your pack? Hopefully you can all be free of your curse before moonrise."
The wolf blushed but nodded, "Of course, I'll show you."
Nik was glaring but Hazel walked up and took his hand. "Come on, let's get you some more Hybrids." He nodded, keeping her hand in his, they followed the wolf.
~~~
Hazel watched Nik as he spoke with the wolves. He was explaining the process before he started. She couldn't help but notice how well he commanded others. He was the alpha of all Hybrids though, so it shouldn't have surprised her. They had only had one argument so far and it was when she realized he had assigned her bodyguards. It was hard for her to stay mad at him though, he had promised Day he would keep her safe. When the wolves began to line up, she realized Nik was starting.
Nik had just snapped the last wolfs neck when Hazel stepped up next to him. Looking down at her, she was holding out a blood bag to him. He hadn't realized she had even brought any blood, "Thank you luv."
Hazel smiled up at him, "I figured you could use it after all that" she motioned to the wolves, "So, after here, where do we go?"
"We'll find a place to stay tonight, then head towards Washington. I know of a few packs out that way."
"Sounds good. I've only been to Virginia, New York and North Carolina so I'm up to see more of the lovely America."
Nik was about to say something but one of the wolves was waking up. Taking the vial Hazel held out, he walked over to him. "Drink" the man did as he was told, eyes changing. As more began to wake, he repeated the process.
Hazel could see how happy this was making Nik. He had wanted an army to keep his family safe and now he had it. One of the new Hybrids approached her.
"So, are you with him?"
"No, we're friends. I helped him break the curse so he's letting me tag along. He doesn't see me that way." Hazel explains.
The newbie Hybrid gave her a curious look, "So, are you seeing anyone? I can't imagine a boyfriend being okay with you spending so much time with another man."
Hazel froze, what was this man really asking? Surely, he wasn't hitting on her. Looking at him suspiciously, she replied, "I'm not seeing anyone but even if I was, it wouldn't matter. I would still be here with Nik."
He must have sensed the tension because Nik walked over to them, "We're done here luv. Are you ready to head out?" He glared at the other man over her shoulder.
Hazel smiled up at him, "Whenever you are."
Nik made sure to leave his contact information and get the alphas before leaving. Making it back to the car quickly, they headed out to find a place to sleep for the night.
~~~
Hazel had fallen asleep on the drive. Nik hadn't wanted to wake her until he checked them into the motel. Being on the backroads and in small towns, lodging options weren't big. Nik also wanted to keep her close to him. That was how he ended up carrying Hazel into their room for the night. She had to be exhausted to not wake when he moved her.
Laying her on one side of the king-sized bed, he quickly went back out for their bags. Nik sat the bags down, looking back to Hazel, he chuckled to himself. She slept like the dead. He pulled her boots off before covering her up. Taking his own off, his shirt went next, and he laid down next to her and let sleep take him.
Hazel woke up warm. She noticed she was still dressed in her clothes from the day. Realizing Nik had carried her to bed, she blushed. It was still dark out, so she sat up and removed her long sleeve shirt, leaving her in a camisole. She really wanted out of her jeans, looking next to her, she found Nik passed out, shirtless. Her heartrate picked up, she had been sleeping next to him.
Hazel hurried to shimmy out of her jeans and back under the covers. She thanked every deity out there that she had chosen boy shorts for her underwear today. Laying back down, she finally got her heart calmed and fell back asleep with a smile.
~~~
Nik woke up to the sun shining through the curtains. Checking his phone, it was still early. He turned his face when he noticed there was a leg thrown over his and a hand on his chest. He couldn't hold back his smile. Hazel seemed to take up the whole bed when she slept. Looking her over, he noticed she had removed her long sleeve and jeans at some point. She may not be a tall woman, but her legs were long and bronze. He couldn't help himself, he made sure to get a good look. Looking further up, he noticed she was only in a camisole and boy shorts, this caused a problem for him.
Nik tried to remover her leg from his without bringing notice to his hard problem, that only caused her eyes to flutter open. "Morning luv" he greeted her quietly.
Hazel gave a small smile, "Morning Nik" she then realized her current position. Blushing, she moved her leg and hand, "Sorry" she whispered.
He noticed her blush and leaned towards her with a smirk, "You may be a tiny thing, but you sprawl in your sleep."
She tried to glare but was smiling, "I'm not used to sharing a bed" grumbling, she got out of bed, unaware of the eyes following her movements. She began to search through her bag, she needed a shower.
Nik could only stare at the beautiful sight before him. Luckily, Hazel didn't seem to realize the view she was giving him. When she bent forward to search her bag, he had to hold back a groan. Her ass was perfect. He pulled the blankets over his lap, no need to scare her with that.
Hazel stood, everything she needed in her arms. Turning towards Nik, she barely caught his gaze. Had he? No, she knew he wasn't. "I'm going to shower, I smell."
Nik watched her walk to the bathroom. Once the door was closed behind her, he threw himself back on the bed, "She's going to be the death of me."
~~~
Hazel was flicking through the stations, trying to find a good song. Finding a decent on, she sat back and looked at Nik. he was really handsome. She honestly wondered how he hadn't been snatched up yet. If she thought she had a chance, she would most definitely go for it.
Nik felt her eyes on him, he kept quiet though. He had done the same earlier when she had been asleep. Thinking back on the conversation he had with his siblings before he left, he wondered if he should make the first move. Elijah had explained what the twins had told him, so he knew Hazel wouldn't. It seemed crazy that she thought he didn't see her that way. Ever since that night in the alley, there had been something about her.
Hazel was thinking back to when she used the blood magic on Nik. That hadn't been her first time using it, but it was so much more potent with him. When it finally clicked, she wanted to smack herself, she hadn't been Deaths Mistress before. Looking back to Nik, she asked, "On the night I broke your curse, did you notice anything off with me?"
He thought back to that night, back to what she had looked like. Nodding, he said, "Your eyes were black and every place you had drawn runes on me, showed as black veins on you." He glanced at her before asking, "Why?"
Sighing, she fiddled with her jackets zipper before saying, "I used blood magic to break your curse. I've used it before but something about this time was different."
"Different how?" He could admit he was a little worried for her.
"Only Damon knows what I'm about to tell you. You can't repeat it to anyone." When Nik nodded, she began, "When Voldemort hit me with the killing curse, I died."
His head jerked to her with wide eyes, looking back to the road, he quickly pulled off to the side and threw the car in park.
Hazel turned her body towards him, "I died and was greeted by my mother. We talked for a bit but when she left, Death appeared. He explained to me that I had become his Mistress because I collected his Hallows."
"Death, like actual Death?" Nik wasn't really sure what to say.
Hazel nodded, "He told me I was his Mistress and that I could never die. I can be killed but I will always come back, regenerate. I'll stop aging at twenty-one."
Nik could only stare, she was like him. Hazel would never age or die, he could keep her forever. "Are you okay with that?"
"I'm actually relieved. I was always worried Damon would have to watch me age and die or turn me. He would never turn me though, he couldn't physically do it."
Nik understood what she meant, he didn't think he could either. "So, you think being Deaths Mistress made the blood magic different?"
"I think that, add it with blood magic with a vampire and something raw magic from ley lines. It's not bad though, I actually felt more powerful using it this time. It's considered dark magic, but I've never been one to be considered light. It would have been hard to kill a megalomaniac using only light magic." Hazel explained.
Nik knew blood was powerful, vampires never shared blood unless it was with someone they planned to spend forever with. He wondered if the blood had done something. She hadn't drunk his blood but almost absorbed it.
"I just wish I could ask him, but I really don't want my neck snapped to do it."
"I would prefer you stay alive as well" Nik didn't want to think of her dying. Now that he knew she couldn't die, his mind was made up. He was going to have her. "Have you done any blood magic since?"
Hazel shook her head, "No. I want to test it but have no way to."
"Maybe we could get a Ouija board and chat with him" Nik joked.
Laughing, she replied, "I'm sure that won't work. What would I even say? Death, your Mistress calls you." She snorted then froze, slowly turning her head to the backseat. "Holy shit" Nik couldn't manage words, he could only stare.
"Mistress" Death greeted, looking at Nik curiously.
Hazel shook herself, "I honestly didn't know that would work." She glanced at Nik, he still hadn't looked away from Death. "Since you're here, can I ask you something?"
Death grinned at Nik before nodding to Hazel, "Of course, my Mistress."
"When I did blood magic to break Niks curse, I felt different. Do you know why?"
Death nodded, "You were releasing a curse on a creature you have connections to. Vampires are dead, you are not alive or dead, your blood is potent to them but only one is potent to you." He watched as she thought what he had said over.
Keeping her eyes on him, she whispered "Why is it only on? I've had Days blood and never felt different." She wasn't sure she wanted the answer, it could hurt her.
Death smiled, "Only one is your equal in power" He looked back to Nik and grinned before disappearing.
~~~
Nik was quiet as he pulled back onto the road. He wondered what as going through Hazel's mind. Death had said the blood was different because of it being from her equal. His eyes widened before he schooled his features, he was her equal, his blood was the reason she felt different that time. He wondered if she would realize what he had. A small smile broke out on his face.
Hazel was frozen. Death had told her Nik was her equal, but she knew he didn't see her that way. How was she supposed to explain this? Why couldn't her life ever be easy? She looked at him from the corner of her eye, but his expression didn't show anything.
The next few hours were quiet while both thought over Deaths words. It was getting late so they would be stopping soon. Hopefully she would know what to say to Nik by then.
~~~
Nik pulled into another motel. They had stopped for a quick dinner and were wanting to sleep before their hike tomorrow. Hazel waited for Nik to come out of the office, she would be staying close. This place didn't look very safe, too bad they didn't have another option for a hundred miles.
Nik exited the office and hopped back into the car. "They only had a king room, I didn't think it safe to have two rooms."
Hazel gave him a small smile, "I don't mind. I'd rather not be alone around here."
Nik drove to their room, parking outside their door. He gave Hazel the key and went to grab their bags. Entering the room, it looked better than he had thought it would. "At least it's clean."
Hazel nodded, "Thank god for that" she moved to her bag and grabbed a long shirt and her toiletries. Entering the bathroom, she quickly got ready for bed and walked out so Nik could get in.
The bed was really soft and comfortable. Hazel had just gotten comfortable when Nik walked out of the bathroom in just sleep pants. Ugh, it wasn't fair how good he looked in pajamas. Her eyes followed him and when he turned, she knew she'd been caught. Blushing, she pulled the covers over her face.
Nik smirked, climbing in the bed, he leaned over her and pulled the blanket down. Hazel had a blush that disappeared down her shirt. "What's the blush for, luv?" he teased.
Hazel rolled her eyes, "Hush you."
"Hazel, are you ever going to talk to me about what Death said?"
She looked at a spot over his shoulder. "I don't know, if I say what he meant, I don't want you to feel obligated to do anything. It's not fair to you."
Niks eyes narrowed, "Why wouldn't it be fair to me? I have an idea what he was saying, and I would be just great with it."
Hazel's eyes met Niks, "You can't mean that. Nik, I just turned eighteen and you're over a thousand. I don't see how you would be okay with that."
Nik leaned towards her, "You're blind witch. I've been trying to get your attention for weeks. Even Elijah and Damon have noticed, I've been a little obvious."
"But, why" Hazel could only look into his eyes. He was telling the truth. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Death said your blood affected me the way it did because you're my equal."
Nik smiled, "Good" he leaned in and kissed her before she could say anything.
Hazel was shocked but melted into the kiss. Nik gripped her chin and moved her with him. He didn't let up until the need for air became apparent. Once they had gotten air, Nik dove back in and moved them to where they were lying next to each other. Hazel wasn't sure why, but she wasn't about to ask questions. She had like him since their second meeting and was happy he returned her feelings.
Nik was in heaven, Hazel was his now and he would make sure it stayed that way. He could feel her body responding to his ministrations. Being a Hybrid, he could tell just how much he was affecting his little witch. Running a hand down Hazels body, he pulled her leg up and onto his hip.
Hazels arms were wrapped around Niks neck, one hand was playing with the hair at the back of his head. She felt him pull her leg over his hip and froze when she felt him. Oh my god, was that?
Nik pulled his face back when he felt her freeze. He looked into her green eyes that were blown wide. He knew she was a virgin, he wouldn't pressure her but he would please her if she let him. "Luv, are you okay?" he could hear her heart beating like crazy.
Hazel nodded, licking her lips "Uhm, I've never"
He cut her off with a kiss. "We don't have to do that tonight" he kissed her again, "Let me please you."
Hazel could only watch as Nik lifted her shirt, pulling it off. He began to kiss down her neck, sucking and nipping as he went. When he took a nipple into his mouth, her back arched off the bed and a moan escaped her. Nik took that as encouragement and continued down her stomach. When he paused at her panties, she nodded, and he pulled them off.
Nik settled between Hazel's thighs, kissing both before moving towards her core. Slowly, he licked her, sucking on her clit, smirking when her hips came off the bed. Leaning in, he began to lick and suck and nip. Taking that as his cue, he added teeth and fingers. He could tell she was coming close, the noises she was making had him harder than he had ever been. He slipped a finger into her core and took her clit between his teeth, biting softly. Hazel screamed his name as she came.
Coming back to her senses, Hazel looked down to Nik who had a devious smirk on his handsome face. He moved up next to her and took her lips with his again. She could taste herself on his lips. She could also feel his hard member against her leg. Slowly, she moved her hand down but he caught her wrist before she could reach him.
"You don't need to" he started.
Hazel kissed his jaw before removing her hand from his, "I want to. I've never before so you'll have to tell me if I'm doing it wrong."
Niks eyes darkened and narrowed, watching Hazel pull his sleep pants down. He smirked when her eyes widened at the sight of him.
Looking from the very hard cock back into his eyes, she rolled her eyes at his smirk. Settling herself between his legs, she gripped him and was surprised at how soft but hard it was. It was like velvet covered steel. Gripping him, she moves her hand up and down before leaning forward. Hazel wasn't sure what to do but she put the tip in her mouth and sucked. She was surprised at the saltiness of the liquid, but it wasn't bad. Moving to take more of him into her mouth, she was encouraged by his moans.
Nik was trying to hold himself back from thrusting down her throat. For someone who had never done this, she was doing great. Her warm mouth and soft tongue were driving him crazy. When she hallowed out her cheeks, his hands gripped her head. "Luv, you might want to pull off." she only looked up at him through her lashes before sucking harder. Nik couldn't stop it, he felt the tingle and released into Hazel's mouth.
Hazel was surprised when the warm liquid hit her throat and swallowed. She had to swallow a couple more times before releasing Niks softening cock. She looked up to his face and smirked at his expression. He looked blissful.
Nik pulled Hazel up to him and kissed her. "You're something else luv."
Hazel smiled sleepily, "So are you Nik" Yawning, she snuggled into him, "G'night."
Nik smiled and kissed the top of her head before pulling the covers over them. He listened as Hazel's heartbeat slowed as she drifted off to sleep. He couldn't believe he finally had her, thank the gods for the conversation with Death.
