“What?” She managed a whisper from her mouth.
He nodded his head innocently with a small smile playing on his lips.
“You jerk!”
“What?”
“Douchebag!”
“Hazel!” He did not know how to suppress his grin itching to form on his face. But her reaction was natural. He had been carrying this all along in his chest hiding it from his friends.
“You hid it from me? You moron!” She poked her finger in his chest. “And you or Dustin did not let me know that it has come this far. Shame on you.”
“Hey, Hazel. Dustin told me that you are too sweet and you will accept our relationship without being judgmental.”
“Well. Dustin is right. But let me tell you.” She leaned towards him making him coming forward across the table,
“You both are total Jackass.”
Jackson’s shoulders started laughing with mirth. &ldq
Both of them were sitting in her small apartment gallery on a single recliner, draped with a quilt around them her body was pressed to his long and hard one.He had taken off his shirt and was now brushing her hair strands, clutching her to his naked chest.“What do you want to discuss first? About mating or protection?”“Umm. Protection maybe?”“Hmm. Ok. I know I should have told you that. But I really think we should plan …”“A baby?” She raised her perfectly arched brow, “Just like that?”“You did not object to not using protection so I thought we are on the same page. But if you are scared then I will happily …”“I am not scared of pregnancy, Ezequiel.” She said quietly, “It’s the responsibilities after it.”“It’s ok, Hazel. If you don’t want responsibility and are not prepared for it...&rdqu
She was sitting in class but her mind was not on the lecture.Ever since Ezequiel discussed with her about them being each other’s mates, she could not get it off her mind. Oddly enough she did not find it creepy.Nothing about Ezequiel was creepy. It was rather beautiful.But there were lots of concerns about the decision of having a baby. She knew Ezequiel will take full responsibility and will take care of the baby.Nothing was more ecstatic than having the baby of a guy you love. But for her, the purpose of bringing the baby into this world was solely wrong.They wanted to bring the baby to put a lock on everybody’s tongue. As a crown prince, he needed to follow the protocol. Getting married and having an heir was one of them. But didn’t Ezequiel’s mom fall pregnant with him after several years of marriage?King Lucas James was still ruling the throne. Nobody kicked him away for not producing an heir. Was Ezequiel
At midnight her eyes snapped open for some odd reason. She looked around trying to understand what was bothering her.She had slept on Ezequiel’s chest last night after listening to a long lecture about her diet and carelessness. But Ezequiel was not there.Might be in the bathroom or outside the room. She thought to herself and then put her face down on the bed when she heard some rustling.“Hazel!” She heard a whisper right near her left ear. She raised her head and found her grandmother leaning on her.She sat up straight.So this is a dream! Well, hello to the world of the dead.“Grandma.” She did not jump up as excitedly as she used to do before. May be because somewhere deep inside she blamed her grandmother for Noah’s death. She could have stopped it. She could have told her.She could have saved Noah.“Hazel. Congratulations.” She frowned and looked closely. Her grandmothe
Poppi squealed with delight when her boyfriend tossed her in the pool, then he did not take long to dive in after her.“Look at her. We all are such bummers.” Clara remarked sarcastically, with a glass of fruit punch in her hand, seated at a pool recliner. She was wearing a black colored single piece bikini while Hazel was sitting beside her in an olive color, halter string, triangle two piece.It was the first time she was wearing such a revealing one. She had bought it on the insistence of Ezequiel.Jackson threw this day party on a private pool. It was selected because of Clara who was still on bed rest.Ellie had begged her just to lie there for the sake of him and the baby. She was in a sour mood. Who, in his right mind, would sit beside a pool without getting wet, just to lie there and see others enjoy?Well! Except for Hazel! But she was happy at least someone was beside her. Jackson and Elli were enjoying Poppi’s drama wit
After waking up, she got up and started looking for her journal in the drawers instead of going to the bathroom.She knew Ezequiel was not home. She could not feel his presence. Opening the journal she stared at the tracking record of her monthly cycles.Opening the calendar portion she saw red marks on previous months. Three months back it was 12 then it was 11 and then last month it got 10.She got her cycles late when she was sixteen but once she got them, they always made on time. This month it was ten fucking days past her due date.Muttering to herself she dug in her tote bag and produced a packed test kit from it. Yesterday she got it from Clara. She had an extra set and advised her to use it right after waking up.After a few moments, seated on a toilet seat, her head was hanging down, with her long red hair touching the bathroom floor.The clock was slowly ticking away making her jumpy. The test said to wait for two minutes but she
Her friends had got the news of her pregnancy and now they all were coming to congratulate her.Ezequiel had arranged bite sized sandwiches for them. And of course wine too. He had to leave for some official task and was expected to return soon.Before leaving, he kissed her head, "Be very careful, Hazel." he looked at his man sitting near the living room entrance, on a stool.He nodded towards him while talking to her, "Consider him as invisible. Like he is not there. He won't invade your privacy. I promise. "She knew the man performing the guard duty was a werewolf. He was just sitting there with hawk like eyes.When her friends arrived, Clara was spooked to see the man but she did not pass any remark. Hazel immediately made her sit on the bigger couch of the living room.“Don’t you dare move.” Hazel told her sternly. She knew Clara must have given hell to Ell

Dark secrets of Queen Maria James … (Ezequiel’s mother):Queen Maria James was strolling on the vast balcony of her private wing. It was a beautiful sunny day… Just perfect to enjoy with her only ally and companion Alda.For her Alda had always been a trustworthy confidante in the palace. Maria used to move in circles where ladies tried to stay close to her. The closer they got, the more respectable they were known. She was the epitome of grace and beauty.Her Past:Maria was a happy-go-lucky girl in her childhood who grew up, jumping among trees of wild forests. She had friends who were impressed by her beauty. She had a boyfriend who used to feel proud because she chose him.“You, my dear, are only mine.” He would sometimes tease her while trying to kiss her and every time she used to slip away, laughing.“I am no one’s, Leo. I am only mine!” She would brush her lips on his, just enough to
