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?
It was early morning. Today the sun wasn’t planning to come out due to heavy clouds. He never liked clouds or rains. It always used to make him sad.It always used to remind him about Noah James. His first love. The irony was, Noah knew. He always knew about his love.He still remembered when they were kids, they used to be fast friends. Always playing together, completing their homework together. He was crazy for Noah. Until he realized that Noah did have female friends too. Unlike him.Noah too pointed that out to him. But he was happy that he had got Noah. Until one fine day, he was upset and he wanted someone to lean on. He hugged Noah. He not only hugged him but also tried to kiss him.Pushing him away, Noah left without a word. But the next day he got a letter from him, saying he did have his doubts and he respected his different sexual preferences.It was best if they both stayed away. That day Dustin lost his best friend.He ke
It was early morning. Today the sun wasn’t planning to come out due to heavy clouds. He never liked clouds or rains. It always used to make him sad.It always used to remind him about Maria. His first love. The irony was, her father knew. He always knew about their love. But still, he chose to sacrifice it so that he could kill his wife.How a parent could be this mean and selfish. Hate was so powerful that it won. Taking away so many lives with it. His own life, Maria’s, Alda’s, his daughter’s, and King James’s.Lucas was the one who suffered the most without him knowing about it. Alda had returned last night. King’s men dropped her but ever since she was home she was unusually quiet.Gavin tried to talk to her to coax her into eating something. But she was not responding. Gavin’s heart was going out for her.Throughout the night she stayed awake not batting her eyes for a single minute.
Hazel and Ezequiel came out and saw Alda pointing her gun at Lucas, “You are done, Lucas. You are done.”It startled Hazel and without any second thought, she started blabbering wildly to deviate Alda’s attention, “Alda. It was not the King’s mistake. We are looking for Aurelia. We know you are upset.” But the crazy looking Alda did not seem to even listen to what Hazel was saying.“It was your fault, Lucas. You used me in bed but when you found someone more beautiful, you married her.” The Royal guards were circling around her slowly. The King’s life was at stake.Alda had started walking towards Lucas, “What did you tell me? You were NOT interested in marriage. And look at you. You married a girl who was almost a child.”Lucas’s face was getting paled with each passing minute, “I am sorry. I am truly sorry, Alda. I never knew you wanted more than friendship.”Ezeq
The moment Alda threw the dagger, Ezequiel fired, making her fall on her face.“No!” Maria screamed. Gavin was lying there in a pool of blood, unconscious. He had come in front while trying to save Maria.When he did not find Alda beside him, he knew where to find her. But never in his wildest dreams, he ever thought that Alda could be so dangerous to attack someone.“Somebody take him to the hospital! Leo! Wake up!” Maria’s eyes rolled back and she fainted beside Gavin’s body.Everyone was shocked by whatever happened. Gavin was immediately taken to the palace hospital wing. Along with Maria.Guards took away Alda’s dead body. Hazel and Ezequiel stayed by Maria’s side. Hazel was holding her hand and wanted to be there once she got consciousness. Unexpectedly Lucas did not arrive.Just then a doctor in white overalls entered the room and checked Maria’s vitals, “She would gain consc

It was a warm sunny day. The breeze felt cool against his skin. He never noticed the colors of flowers before. Nor he ever noticed how beautiful and blue the sky looked. He was a warrior who was supposed to fight. As a crown prince, he was taught that he needed to keep his emotions under control.But ever since his wife entered his life, nothing was in its place. With everything turned upside down, life had taught him a lot.He was sitting on the rooftop garden which was no more artificial. It was transformed into a real one with a lake. The wheel chair was still mounted there on the edge which was pulled back so many years ago.Taking a deep breath he looked down and kissed the little, four years old munchkin in his arms who was sleeping peacefully giving a damn to the world. When he stood from the garden swing, a servant came ahead and reached forward to take the kid from him but he shook his head.He enjoyed tucking Noah every night. Except when
It did not seem like a piece of land but a place full of pristine white cotton balls. It was all white. Nothing else. Just whiteness.She felt like she was walking on clouds.Suddenly she felt nervous. Was it possible that she reached the wrong place this time? Should she go back and tell Zeki that it did not work?The place was strange, the surrounding was alien yet she did not feel scared. The place was not giving her evil vibes.Gosh! She could not even feel the ground under her feet but she kept walking anyways.And then something changed around her. The clouds around her seemed to bow down. A smile formed on her lips.Were they doing it for her? She thought to herself.“No Hazel. They are not doing it for you.” Hazel jumped up when she heard the soft voice behind her and turned around, “They are bowing down to me.”A silhouette of a woman … no … not only a woman but an extremely beauti
They both were walking towards the forest their hands intertwined with each other. Just like their fates.They were accompanied by guards and it was slowly becoming a new normal for Hazel. She was gradually getting used to it. But sometimes it did make her annoyed.She used to miss her freedom.“What is it, my queen?” Concern was written on Ezequiel’s face. Instead of replying, Hazel just pointed towards guards accompanying them.“They are for our safety, honey.” He mind linked her but she just nodded her head instead of replying. He turned towards the guards and asked them to stop there.“We will be among those trees. You can form the circle if you want but do not enter the clearing.”The guards got the message and bowed their heads before forming a circle around that area. Ezequiel walked towards the spot well covered by the trees and then taking her in his arms he kissed her cheek gently.&
So many memories started flooding back. Her time with Alec, the abuse she experienced at the hands of Alec and her school bullies.The way Lily used to make fun of her. The first time she was groped in the kitchen.She got her first period here.She told him all. She shared it all with him. Here. On this very rooftop.This was the place where they talked for long hours. She slapped him on their first meeting thinking of which made her smile through her tears.This was the place where she proposed him and promised him that she will take care of him.The place where she was so worried while leaving that how would Ezequiel find her back. How would he if he did not know about her face?But he did keep his word. He promised her that he will find her. And he did it.She did not realize that she was crying. Just then she felt wetness in her hair. She looked up and found him crying.“Zeki.”“Zella.&rdquo
“Where are you, honey?”She took a sip of her tea while eating the slice of double chocolate cake baked by Kate, “I am at Kate’s place.” She could feel him rolling his eyes. He had been doing it ever since she had started visiting her friends by using her newly discovered power.Kate was looking at her curiously.“Get your ass here. We need to talk, Zella.”“Let me finish this tea and cake slice. I can’t leave it like this.”She could hear Ezequiel’s frustration in his voice, “Using your power while you are pregnant, Hazel. I think you need to stop doing that.”Hazel did not respond back.“Hazel?”Hazel ignored his voice and started talking to Kate.“Hazel. Better go to your husband. He must be missing you.” There was understanding in Kate’s eyes.“He likes to have his way.” Hazel took a bit bite
She could feel butterflies in her stomach. My my! I need to go to the bathroom. She could hear her stomach making strange gargling noises.The guard beside her could see it on her face, “Easy your highness. Easy. You will be fine.” The poor man was trying to raise her morale. The door was about to be opened.Inside they were putting the crown on Ezequiel’s head. She could hear the cheering and clapping going on inside. Cameras were clicking and the ceremony was going live on the national TV channel.Just then her name was announced. The doors to the hall opened and she entered with a nervous smile pasted on her lips.Well! She thought that she was nervous but when her eyes fell on the man who was her husband, the love of her life. He was already looking at her. After their eye contact, he blinked his eyes and she received a mind link, “Zella. You look beautiful. And I love you. Just remember that.”Though it had been t
(3 months later)“Zella. Please arrive in the main study of the palace.” She received Ezequiel’s message when she was going through her shampoo sales on her laptop sitting in Ezequiel’s library.“Ezequiel!” Her tone held a warning, “I am working. Last time you called me in the main library, it was because you wanted to kiss me and THAT single kiss led to …”“Woah woah. Easy Zella. I am NOT asking you to come here because of THAT reason. I won't mind though if we can do it again.”“Zeki!”“Ok. Ok. I get it. You can go to work but right now your presence is needed.” Closing her laptop she stretched her arms and got up.On Ezequiel’s insistence, she had resumed her shampoo business just one month ago. As expected it had started to thrive. This time Ivy was not with her but she had promised her that she wou
“Hazel. Where are you, sweetheart?” She got the mind link when she was stuffing crackers in her mouth, gossiping with Dustin and Jackson.“I am with Dustin. Why?” Hazel gulped it down with the beer.“Mom is not there in the palace. I thought maybe she is with you.” There was worry in his voice.“Hang on. I am coming.” She placed the wrappers on Jackson’s lap. “I need to go guys.”Jackson was quite happy after visiting his mom again at the hospital today. She was much better now and due to this reason, he was in good spirits today.She came back to her room in a blink and opened her eyes.Ezequiel was standing there pacing around, “Did you try to smell her, Zeki?”“I can’t smell her. She is not in the palace. I thought she is with you.” He did not seem happy about Maria’s absence.Hazel also did not like the sound of it. Maria r
