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
She liked the King. Never bringing up the subject of her parents’ suicide. He always treated her with respect.When she was introduced as a Queen in the court, everyone welcomed her. But one could not call it a warm welcome. Their mouths were hung open.Her background without any money made them realize that it was her, not so common, beautiful face that made her stand beside the King.There were so many people who wanted a piece of King either for themselves as a designation, or for their daughters or for their nieces or God knows who else. Everyone wanted a piece of him.But Maria’s surprising presence proved to be an utter shock for all of them. They all treated her with cool dignity but all of it was too mechanical for her.Everyone except Alda! She was the only one who gave her a warm welcome. She stayed close to her. Helped her in teaching how to face the gentry. The ruling class.She got a special official training a
It was her second month and her belly was growing like anything. People in the palace including the helping staff started giving her strange looks.Though she had become more beautiful. Her already glowing skin had some kind of magic that even her husband used to be mesmerized by her beauty. But that only bring her more heartache and sadness because that only meant spending more time in bed with her husband.First, the helping staff and then the courtiers started whispering about her strange pregnancy. She used to get scared that now her husband won’t take a minute to throw her out. But apparently, he was not paying any heed to the rumors.One night, while putting on her nightdress she got spooked when she saw something moving inside her belly. Growing in a village, she had seen pregnant women and knew enough about women’s anatomy.The very next day when Alda arrived she could not take it anymore and started crying her eyes out in front
When Maria stretched the next morning she turned around and gasped when she found her husband lying there beside her looking into space. Thinking deeply about something.“You are back!” She smiled.He smiled back and kissed her head, “I am, sweetheart! How are you? Alda told me you are not well.”“But now I am.” She kissed his cheek, “When you are with me.”They had breakfast together on the vast balcony of their bedroom. They both had their own wings with their own bedrooms. But Lucas had ordered to shift her things to his room. He could not stay away from her.She was chatting with him like a carefree soul almost forgetting about her trauma and pain. Lucas was looking at her face carefully listening to her. He was smiling, thinking to himself how he managed to find such a beautiful girl.He wanted to snatch her from her chair and make love to her like crazy.When the maid came to clear
