The party was in full swing. Thankfully they had their dinner in peace. Ezequiel did not join them for dinner and Alicia retired after dinner not talking much to anyone.
After dinner, the house blasted with music. They were dancing and laughing like crazy. Dustin was mad when he heard what Alicia did to her but later Doug did apologize to Hazel.
Amy had told everyone about what happened back there.
Hazel was having the time of her life. She had tasted beer for the first time and she liked it.
“Guys! There is a dedicated beer pong table in the game room!” somebody shouted over the music and they all started hooting.
“We are not here for indoors man! Let’s place the pong table on the porch! Yay!!!” there were again the cries and hoots.
Hazel who had half-listened the announcements, was screaming at the top of her lungs now. Dustin excused himself for a bathroom trip and asked Hazel to behave.
Looking around Hazel saw beer shots p
Her eyes opened to extraordinary quietness. She had been sleeping on her stomach, face down. Looking around with drowsed eyes she realized this was not her assigned room but a lot bigger one. By putting her mouth on the bed she tried to muffle her noisy yawn in it. She stayed like that for few moments only to realize that the mattress which was supposed to be soft was hard as a concrete floor. She touched it with one hand and started pressing it. A little confused she raised her drumming head when she found a pair of golden eyes looking at her. Shit! What the hell! She tried to sit up straight but had to hold her heavy head while falling back on his chest. Had she been sleeping on him? “I am sorry Prince.” She tried to get up. They both were covered in a soft duvet and because of that, she was stumbling in the worst possible way. “Thank God I am wearing clothes.” She muttered under her breath while struggling to get up. He se
Noah was having the worst hangover and to top it all Alicia’s whining was making it worst. She stormed into the room this morning and was continuously crying. “Geez Alicia. Stop it. Don’t be such a bummer.” She held him by his collar. “You! You let that happened!” Noah pushed her a little and headed towards the bathroom. Gosh! He needed to pee! He could hear her cries and was on the verge to vomit. When he came out she was pacing around in his room, her hands clenched in tight fists. “Alicia. Be a darling and ask someone to bring coffee and a pain killer.” He again fell on the bed with his face down. Alicia wanted to kill him right now. She asked a servant standing near the door to bring coffee. The lower staff of the Royal family had accompanied them in the sixth car which stayed at a safe distance from them. While having coffee he leaned
She was stuffing her bag however Dustin and Amy were sitting on the bed. “Hazel. I am so sorry.” Amy had a grim expression on her face. “It’s ok Amy. The trip was maybe not meant for me.” She said with a sad smile. “Can you bring my toothbrush from the bathroom?” She asked Amy and then started putting her headphones in her handbag. “I should have stayed with you, Hazel.” Dustin said while looking down staring at the floor feeling guilty. “No Dustin. You did your best and you are not my babysitter. Relax! I enjoyed it here. Thanks for bringing me for the experience.” “Here take this.” Amy handed over the toothbrush and headed towards the door. “I would ask someone to pack you a sandwich.” She closed the door behind her. Dustin stood and came to hug her. She smiled while hugging him back. “Dustin. Please don’t change.” She did not know why so many tears started slipping on her face. Dustin tilted back his head to look at her.
White Palace was a beauty and Hazel fell in love with it the moment she saw it. Limestone was used for its construction having lush gardens. It was surrounded by dense forests which was a forbidden territory, especially at night. Why? Well, she did not have any idea about it. She was given a room in the block used by Ezequiel, just opposite his room. There were rooms, assigned to personal maids and servants of each block. There was a separate block that was underutilized. A maid told Hazel that it was supposed to be for the future queen of the Kavoda Kingdom. There was a visitor’s and guests block too. She had reached here this morning with a royal driver and a guard. After the shower, she decided to wear her casual stone-washed jeans and olive green t-shirt. When she decided to come here, Dustin and Ivy were happy, thinking that at last, she had taken their advice which was not the case. She was here because sh
She was restless in bed. Maybe because of the new place. After tossing and turning for so long she just could not take it anymore and got up. Peeking from the door she could not see anyone so she decided to look around hoping that she would not get caught for trespassing.Dressed in a dark blue pajama suit she was roaming around in the palace and then went outside. Guards were standing outside the gates. She turned around to go back inside when she saw a short passage leading outside. She tiptoed through it and found herself in the dense forest. It was too dark to go further so she stayed there. Ezequiel had asked her not to go alone in the forest and here she was disobeying the crown prince. She smiled thinking of him and the way he had tucked her hair. She was about to turn around when she heard the rustling of leaves. Oh my God! So that’s why she was asked not to go there alone. Wild animals? With a racing heart, she stepped bac
She froze at her place. Not able to move, not able to think. Her heart had literally shifted to her ears because that’s where it had started thumping. She had even forgotten to blink an eye or to breathe. No one was there. She was alone in the forest, and silly enough not to inform anyone. Everybody thought she was sound asleep in her room. Dear God! The animal … no sorry … wait a minute. The beast! The beast was lurking in the shadows but it's built was what making her dead. Yes! Dead! There was no life left in her body. The beast a lot taller than her, moved forward ever so slightly and came into the little light coming from her power torch placed on the rock. She gulped down when realized that it was looking at her, right at her face. Its gaze penetrating in her eyes. The green luminous orbs made her gasp further. It had beautiful eyes! She thought of stepping back and run away for her life but did not kn
She was leaning into the wolf, trailing her hand on its fur. “I wish I could tell you how much I despise that lady! Seriously! How dare she had this nerve of asking me such weird questions?” She kissed his head, “Hazel! What are you doing in Ezequiel’s garden?” She mimicked Alicia. “Hazel! What are you doing in Ezequiel’s quarters? Hazel! What are you doing in Ezequiel’s arms? Hazel! What are you doing in Ezequiel’s pants …” She stopped when she felt the beast shaking a little. Was he laughing? Her eyes went wide thinking of that. She raised her head and looked towards its face but it was serious. Thank God otherwise she might have died. “You know? I am seriously thinking to run away from here. From everything.” She sighed before laying her head on its tummy. “I guess I am getting tired.” She yawned loudly. “She tries to act like my mom. And is always ready to suck Ezequiel’s dick.” This time again she felt the wolf shaking but she did
Trigger warning: Zella found ;-) Ezequiel was back before dinner. While having dinner they all were quiet except Kate and Hazel chatting all along. Alicia was unusually quiet with an injured nose with a piece of bandage pasted on it. Even Noah could not hold it when she told him about the happenings of the garden. He had brought her here to deviate Ezequiel’s undivided attention from Hazel but she was proving to be a disappointment now. William eyed Ezequiel with astonishment, “How come you are here tonight? It always used to be a two days trip.” Ezequiel cleared his throat, “Needed to meet someone at night.” Avoiding everyone’s eyes, he was looking at the food as if it was the most important and prettiest thing in the room. “Someone at night?” Liam shrugged with his lips curved down. “Must be a lucky fellow!” “No. I am the lucky one!” William laughed looking at Noah, “I don’t know when he would find that girl. God knows where

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
