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
The funeral was going on with two coffins placed there. Gavin and Alda.The moment, the priest got done with prayers, a lot of ‘amen’ was heard in the small royal church. Where a few days back Hazel and Ezequiel got married.Hazel in a black skirt was sitting sandwiched between Maria and Ezequiel. Media was also there and they had somehow detected that Hazel was an important person, holding some important position.Giving a damn to the public image, Ezequiel was holding her hand and was kissing her knuckles from time to time.The media was silent right now, not questioning the absence of Aurelia. They were curious about Hazel too. But right now nobody could question it.The Royals were very close to the Wabin family. The personal PA and his wife were murdered by some outsiders, breaching the security.It was a big question mark for the royals.It was Hazel’s decision, to hide the fact that Alda tried to attack her or
“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
