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
“I don’t understand. Why can’t werewolves travel by cars?” Hazel was whining for no reason. All of them were werewolves except her and Noah.She could not see him. He must be walking ahead. She thought.Ezequiel was walking beside her without uttering a single word. After she asked him the question in the hall about him being a werewolf. He had just kissed her forehead before hugging her again tightly in his arms.His only words were, “Pack your bags Zellu. We are leaving.”While walking she reached to Liam, “How much more distance do we have to cover?”“Around eighteen hours!” Liam replied with a straight face.She stopped right there. “What? Eighteen fu*king hours! Ezequiel! We will walk for eighteen fu*king hours?” Mason and William were trying their best to stay serious.The way she was calling Ezequiel was enough to confirm all of them that she was thei

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
