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
Damian returned from the pack meeting and found Hazel sitting on a swing on the porch.“Hey, little one! How are you feeling?” Hazel who was busy in her own thoughts smiled and shifted to one side.“Alpha Damian! Please sit.” She patted beside her.“You seem to like the swings a lot.”“Yes. I do.”“You never told me about yourself, Hazel.”“What do you want to know Alpha?”“Who are you? What do you do? Any boyfriends? How you ended up with those werewolves? And then you once whined about this girl Alicia who wanted to get into Ezequiel’s pants.” The last statement in his funny voice got her attention like anything.She remembered how she complained about Alicia to his wolf.Taking a deep breath Hazel felt uncomfortable. But Alpha Damian deserved to know the truth. She did not want to lie to him.“Will it be ok if I tell
Ezequiel went to the dungeons which were located in the basement of the palace. His special pack warriors accompanied him. When they entered the dungeon the wolves were tied down in their human form, stark naked.Injured ones were given medical attention and were promised more leniency if they would tell whereabouts of Hazel.After the visit, they were quite hopeful. Apparently, someone had saved Hazel from the attack and now she was somewhere safe.The rogues had told him that the wolf who saved Hazel from them had lifted her with great care and did not have a smell which was the mandatory part of a werewolf.Later in the evening, they all were seated for discussing the next agenda when Liam entered the room with a frightened Mia holding her by her neck.“Here, Alpha Ezequiel. One of the culprits! She diverted the guard’s attention, who was supposed to protect the special passage. They both were busy kissing each other and taking their
“Alpha Ezequiel! We have got the hunch. This man is claiming to find a strong clue.”Ezequiel was just back from the search with his team. The other team had taken over the search but Ezequiel was planning to go again for combing the forests.“What is it, Mason?” Ezequiel looked at the warrior’s face who was panting heavily as if had been running for long. But the panting was due to the excitement because his warriors rarely got tired.“One of our team was in contact with different packs as advised by you. He claims that a girl is living in the packhouse of Silver Moon pack and her description matches our details.”Ezequiel’s head snapped up, “Are you sure?”“Cent percent Alpha.”Ezequiel closed his eyes concentrating on something and then snapped open his eyes, “Gather the troops. Let’s go.” After such a long time Ezequiel’s lips fo
Today she opted for denim shorts with a crop top. Taking a last look at her reflection in the mirror she smiled and dashed downstairs.She could hear voices in the living room and among those voices, this particular one stood out. It was familiar.Holding the banister she sat on the top most step and peeked through banister rods. She was taken aback when she found Damian sitting there with a hand around Kate. He was looking at her occasionally with Kate blushing profusely.Oops! Are they both mates? Shit! I missed it.Since childhood, she had been reading about werewolves finding their mates and kissing or touching each other at the spot. And now she had missed the most romantic scene of the werewolf community.And then she found … him! He was talking to Damian, smiling and discussing something which she could not hear. Handsome as always. Taking a deep breath she stood and went back to her room.She could not go with him. They were n
