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
People! Please show some love. Don't forget to give reviews on my main novel review section. (Not here.) And yes! I am waiting for that Gem. xoxo
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
Roaming around in the palace was no fun. That too without Ezequiel. He was absent since afternoon and she was bored to death. Even no sign of Noah or Alicia thankfully.She used to enjoy Ezequiel’s friends’ company but strangely their behavior had changed. They were talking to her a little formally with no teasing or bantering. Kate who had befriended her also seemed to be distant.She reached near the passage to go out but tonight a guard was standing near the exit. A surge of disappointment went through her. She was missing her wolf friend, she realized.“My Lady! I had been looking for you.” She freaked out at the unexpected sound.“Geez. Gosh, Mia. You scared the shit out of me! And can you please stop saying, my Lady?” She rolled her eyes with agitation but Mia did not mind. She had realized that Hazel was someone with a golden heart.“Here! I was asked to deliver this to you.” Mia handed over an
Very slowly Ezequiel’s hand crawled to the hem of her top. He found her skin and started caressing it. She closed her eyes kissing his jaw and then started opening his white shirt buttons.She was fumbling with the buttons without realizing that this was exciting him. The wait was worth it. He waited for her patiently looking at her face without blinking an eye.When she was done with the buttons he came out of his shirt waiting for her next move. She licked her lips while taking in his hot physique.She did not know if she should take off her top by herself or should wait for him to do it.“I just realized that this is your first time. We better do it on a proper bed. You deserve it.” He held her chin while staring at her upturned mouth.“Places don’t matter Zeki. No matter if it’s a rooftop or an under the tree spot. But it has to be you. Only you.” He was touched by her words.“If it has to
She came near the window, to see Ezequiel meeting everyone before leaving. His one arm was crossed on his chest while the other was busy giving instructions may be about the security by repeatedly pointing around.At last, his lips found his first smile when he came towards Noah to hug him. Seeing him smile made her lips curve up.His smile was infectious. She thought to herself when she noticed him looking around with a sudden sober expression. He must have told something to Noah because Noah also looked around and shrugged his shoulders.Were they looking for something? She was just standing there to get the last glimpse of Ezequiel before he leaves.The knock on the door made her turn around and found Mia standing there.“My lady. His highness has requested your presence outside.” She beamed before accompanying her outside.The thought that he wanted to see her before leaving, was giving her pleasure.Upon reaching ther
She could sense him smiling on the other end, “Who else?”“Is everything alright? I mean you just left.”Was he missing her?“I don’t know Hazel. I just wanted to hear your voice. Just wanted to check on you.”Hazel’s heart went out to him, “Hey, I am fine.” She smiled, “And after your call, I feel a lot better.”“I made a mistake Hazel. I should have brought you with me.” Hazel went quiet.“Please come soon Zeki.” She whispered. They had just gotten together. Couldn’t spend enough time with each other.“I would. Just let Noah know if you need anything.”I need you Zeki but Noah won’t help me. She could not share this tidbit with him.“Sure Zeki. I would keep that in mind. But what if… I need anything and I ask YOU instead of Prince Noah?”He was quiet at the other end
Ezequiel was about to leave the room when he saw his mother standing at the entrance.“Mama?” he went forward to hold her hand and brought her to his study chair. “What brought you here? You should have called me.”“I just wanted to spend some time with you but I guess you are already leaving.”“This can wait, mama.” He settled himself in front of her.“You were supposed to be here for three days. And tonight you are leaving … so you won’t be there for the rest of the meetings Ezequiel?” Maria James was an extremely beautiful woman with dimples on her cheeks.“I would be back mama. I will be back before noon.”“hmm.” She looked around his room then her eyes fell on her son who seemed sitting there all relaxed but the way he was shaking his left foot told her that he was in a hurry.Looking at him meaningfully she stood and started to leave
At the first crack of dawn, his pack warriors started reaching there. Noah wanted to involve the state warriors. But Ezequiel trusted his pack warriors more.Kate who had left last night was also among them.Ezequiel was sitting there quietly trying to keep his wits together. But inside he was going crazy. He did not know how long he would be able to tolerate this shit.They had searched the whole palace but to no avail.“Is it possible that she left at her own will?” Noah spoke being very careful. He knew he was treading in dangerous water.“What do you mean?” Liam asked him in an irritated tone. They respected Noah as Ezequiel’s brother. But right now the expected Luna of the pack was missing and nobody was ready to take any shitty questions from anyone even if it was from royalty.“What I mean to say is … Ezequiel, by any chance you two had a fight or an argument?”Ezequiel just shoo
Few warriors including Kate and William came to Ezequiel urgently.“We have found about the wolves who kidnapped her,” Kate told him excitedly.“Who are they? What was the motive behind it?” After so many days Ezequiel felt a little relieved. At last! At last some clue.“We don’t have any idea about the motive Alpha. But those were rogue werewolves hired by someone for the task.”Ezequiel always thought that he was the main target and Hazel was just collateral damage. But he was wrong. They were there to kidnap her.“Any idea about their location?” He looked at William with hope in his eyes.“We have formed a circle around them. They are on the East side of the forest. According to our resources, they are injured too. One of them is extremely wounded because we found blood patches in the area. And this wounded one has slowed down their speed to escape. That’s the reason they a

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
