“I don’t know Mrs. Wabin that where your daughter is. I swear we entered the pub together. But I don’t know where she went after that.”
Alda did not understand what to do. Her daughter didn’t return when she left last evening. She stayed awake all night waiting for her. She even tried to contact her husband but he was not available. Aurelia’s phone was also not responding.
“Lily. How could you leave her like this? She is not used to going out. My daughter is so innocent. Someone might want to kidnap her.” She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs.
“Relax Mrs. Wabin. I am her friend. Not her chaperone.” Alda tried to bring her temper down. She did not know if she should scold Lily or kill her, “Mrs. Wabin. I think we should ask her fiancé. She might have planned to spend the night there.”
Nobody knew that Aurelia did not have any understanding or attachment with the crown pri
“Sweetheart. You look upset!” Ezequiel gave her a concerned look. She had been sitting idly in bed for quite some time.“Did you say something?” She jolted up a little.“You are not even listening to what I am saying!” He sat beside her shifting her closer to him, making her sit on his lap, “What is it, sweetheart?”“I am just confused.” She looked into his golden eyes. The eyes she always thought could look into her soul. “When I came into the palace as a maid, everybody told me that palace is a strange place. Every time somebody used to tell me that, I used to mock them secretly. But now …”Instead of saying anything further, she kept playing with her fingers intertwining them until his strong hand covered hers, silently asking her to complete it.“Zeki. Life here is so artificial. No one is trustworthy here. Thank God I have got you.”“Thank G
“Hazel. Reach out to me, sweetheart! What’s taking you so long?” Again the same gentle voice in her dreams, the same white light.“How … how can I reach you?”“You need to find a way, Hazel. I know you would.”“What if I can’t find a way?”“I trust you, Hazel. You will. I swear!” there was amusement in her voice. But now Hazel feeling angry. When she woke up, it was still midnight. Ezequiel was sleeping peacefully draping an arm around her. She smiled and tried to bury her face in his chest. She needed her sleep because there were so many things she needed to do the next day.***The middle-aged woman made her sit on a couch. The house seemed beautiful and was decorated with an ancient touch.On the glass top of a rack replicas of ancient Greek Gods were placed. She went near it when her eyes fell on a framed photograph of the family.They seemed to
Hazel rushed into the main library where she usually found Ezequiel working but had to stop when she found Maria James instead.She was sitting on the swinging chair which was fixed there by Ezequiel for his wife. The moment Maria saw her daughter-in-law, she rose from it and came towards her with a naughty smile.“So the future queen got Alda arrested!”Hazel did not know that the news traveled so much faster, “I am sorry. I know she is your friend.”“She is my friend. But she is not more than you.” Hazel was taken aback by the affection.“My Queen, she …”“Call me, mother.” Maria interrupted.“Yes… mo … mother. She tried to attack me …”“She did what?” She frowned, “Oh dear. Are you alright? I think she has lost it now.”“Yeah. I know. I will get her released before midnight.”&
About Gavin:Gavin was sitting in his study with a book opened in front but his mind was elsewhere. He sprang from his seat when he heard the knock on the door.A servant came inside, “Sir. The living room door is repaired and attached back.”“Hmm.” Gavin did not give much response, “Bring me some wine.” The servant brought the branded wine with a glass.Gavin poured some for himself and started taking small sips from his glass. He did see missed calls from his daughter followed by a voice note where she pleaded with him to listen to her.But what did he do? He failed her miserably. He proved to be a worse parent than his wife. He was worried about his daughter. His men were still looking for her. But ninety percent chances were … Nothing happened to her. She ran away from the situation. She did not want to inflict more pain on herself so she chose to run away. She begged her parents to take her out of her
Ezequiel could feel nervousness taking over every fiber in his body. Hazel had agreed to become his mate officially by getting marked. His wolf, Caleb was ecstatic and thrilled by this sudden idea.“Now what to expect, Zeki? Will it hurt?” She sounded confused but not scared.“Well. It should not.” He told her gently, “In the ceremony, I will put my teeth …”“No, Zeki. No ceremony. I don’t want to wait for it. I want it NOW.” She raised her eyes to him.“NOW?” Looking at her green eyes, he felt bliss washing over him.“NOW!” She confirmed nodding her head.Taking a deep breath he blew the air and started chewing his upper lip. He was standing very close to her, their chests almost touching, trying to decide if Hazel was in her senses or drunk.“Zeki?”“Hmm?”“I am waiting. Do it.”Nodding his he
She looked around the ceilings and almost crumbled walls. The smell of dunk was making it impossible to even breathe.Hazel had to cover her mouth to stop puking.“What the hell are you doing here?” She heard Alda’s feeble voice from the corner of the cell. Alda was sprawled there not even bothering to look up or move.All her life, people had seen her very pristine and immaculate. But here…Not even six hours had passed but poor Alda seemed like a lost cause. Just then Hazel got a mind link from Ezequiel, “Honey! Where are you? Answer me.” She could feel the panic in his voice.Hazel who was not habitual of mind link answered him loudly instead, “Don’t worry, Zek. I am here in Alda’s cell. And I don’t know how I reached here?”“Stay there. I am coming.” He closed the mind link.Strangely Alda gave a damn that Hazel was there. She started humming the song &
“Did you hear that honey?” Hazel heard Kate’s voice.“No, I didn’t. Come here.” Damian dragged Kate’s nude body towards him.“Honey. Somebody said ‘shit’. I heard it.” Damian who was nuzzling his nose in her neck got quiet for a minute and Hazel was thankfully standing there behind the curtain holding her breath. She tried to blink again thinking of her room in the palace but she could not get transported there.What the hell? Dear Moon Goddess! Are you playing some kind of joke on me?“Wait. I can smell it too. Whoever it is… I know the smell.” Hazel closed her eyes when she heard Damian.Oh, Moon Goddess. Better kill me. What will my friends think about me? I am sneaking on them? Her adventure had cost her a lot.Thankfully Moon Goddess took pity on her and she landed in her bedroom where Ezequiel was standing edgily.“Haze. What is going on?
