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
She started stepping back slowly, shaking her head.“Zella. Stop.” Ezequiel asked her gently. She was sobbing brokenly and his heart was breaking up in million pieces.“Sweetheart! Stop!” But she did not seem to listen.Turning around at once she broke into a run trying to get away from him. Her only mission was to run to the safety of her room and shut it all away.She was about to enter the palace when two strong arms came around her and lifted her. The person was carrying her on his shoulder like a sack with her bum in the air.She started fighting it again with her fists and kicks, “Put me down, you idiot! PUT ME DOWN!”Once Ezequiel reached his room he locked it before putting her down. She was hiccupping now.“I need to go to my room. Let me go please.”“This is your room Zella. Stay here. I won’t force you to do anything. Please, sweetheart. Stop pushing me away
