After talking to his mom, he came back to the meeting, smiling. His presence was required in the meeting of all the business tycoons of the Kingdom and outside the kingdom. He was heading it.
Every capitalist and industrialist was there with their assistant who was giving presentations about their business and up-coming ventures. But Ezequiel was listening to all of it half-heartedly. The idea of becoming a father was exciting but the mere thought of Hazel impregnated with his seed was more intriguing.
All those presentations were boring for his taste. Right now he could not wait to go and see his love. Her friends were supposed to come for congratulating her. She was happy with the idea and to share her enthusiasm he made bite sized sandwiches for them.
To stay low profile, he used to dress in a worn-out t-shirt and jeans but today for the meeting he had to dress formally.
He was still thinking about Hazel when someone beside him poked a litt
Hazel was sitting on a recliner chair placed on the small terrace when Ezequiel placed a steaming coffee cup near her.Hitting lightly on her slim but attractive buttock he asked her silently to move aside a little.“What are you thinking, princess!” He put his arm around her while settling beside her. She shook her head while hiding her face in the crook of his neck.“You squeezed the life out of me, sweetheart! What were you even thinking?” He looked at her head kissing it lightly.“I wanted to squeeze the life out of HIS balls. I don’t know what came over me.” She replied thinking.When Gordon stood behind her, dry humping her she could feel the anger and frustration building in on her. It reminded her of the se*xual abuse she faced in the palace kitchen by a cook. At that time she was almost a child who could not decide what to do at that moment. But the incident was quite traumatic to her.But n
When she reached home it was almost dark. But strangely enough, she was not feeling tired at all. Ezequiel was not home.She took shower and changed her clothes in a comfy pair of pajamas and Zek’s t-shirt. She thought of calling him then dropped the idea and decided to do some reading.Lying on her bed comfortably she started reading the book which was about her favorite genre: Werewolf!While reading it she did not know when her eyes fluttered closed and she went to sleep.And then it started again as if it was waiting. She was again dreaming. Whenever dead people visited her it was always dark with a little bit of light just to get the contours of the face.Her grandma, her parents, Albik and Alec. Whenever they visited her there was never enough light to see their faces properly or clearly.But this time it was different. There was no darkness in the room. This was not her usual apartment room but something more spacious and airy.
Due to her pregnancy, Ezequiel did not want her to travel so long in the car. In his werewolf form, he was faster than the car but he could not risk her health by subjecting her to another torture.A she-wolf could easily manage the werewolf ride without any problem in her pregnancy. But it was difficult for humans to bear this fast-paced speed.So he decided to go for the Royal Private jet.When she stepped inside she truly felt what royalty was… The interior, the décor… everything inside it was so classy.Once seated the pilot came to pay his respects accompanied by two beautiful air hostesses. Oddly enough both the air hostesses were friendly but respectful not trying to be flirty to Ezequiel. Like other women, they were not ogling at him.“Milord! I hope you and our guest Ms. Hazel Callum will have a safe trip.” He took off the cap and bowed his head a little and then turned to the ladies.He introd
King Lucas James and Queen Maria James were there to welcome them. Both of them hugged Ezequiel with big smiles, however, their meeting with her seemed more like a façade. There was no warmth but fake smiles.She met them with her head held high, confident in her skin. They might be the rulers but being a commoner doesn’t make her any less. Especially when she had got someone by her side who was crazy about her.His love had given her confidence. He taught her to trust herself and now she was not going to let him down. Their rooms were prepared in Ezequiel’s wing and that brought a fresh memory of Prince Noah’s death. Someone, she would never forget. He had still not visited her in her dreams but had spoken to her while warning her against any danger.And that reminded her of the female voice she heard last time in her dream. She had emphasized her to look around to find her. Whoever that woman was, she was somewhere near her.She
The dinner which was supposed to be awkward for Hazel thankfully turned out to be just fine with normal chit-chat.She sat beside Ezequiel who was making circles on her bare arm making her shiver while talking casually to his parents.“Oh, dear. I want to throw a grand party to celebrate your engagement. Everyone in this Kingdom should know about our soon-to-be daughter-in-law.” Maria looked at Lucas James for approval.“She is right. You two should stay long enough to do it.”“But …” Hazel eyed Ezequiel with worry, “This is too soon. We never thought about getting engagement anytime soon.”“Then my dear you should start thinking. We can order your engagement dress on an urgent basis. Our men can arrange a quick grand celebration on short notice. You need to make up your mind.”Hazel wanted to argue again when Ezequiel tightened his grip on her hand, asking her silently to st
‘Nothing will happen. It would pass. It would pass. It’s nothing. Clara also faced it. But she is perfectly fine with still a healthy pregnancy. It will pass.” She was chanting the words to herself.When Ezequiel reached her inside the bathroom upon her call, the blood was dripping down her legs. It took her down the memory lane when she got her first period but the only difference was, Zeki was blind at that time.He carried her all the way to the hospital wing of the palace. Waiting for the doctor in their chambers seemed risky at the moment.She was at once taken care of and was admitted to the hospital. Once she was cleaned and settled, the tests were run on an immediate basis.“What is exactly happening with my body?” She was worried because she was still bleeding down there. It could not be called spotting.“Unfortunately we need to wait till tomorrow noon, Ms. Hazel. As soon as we look at your reports then
She was sitting on the terrace sipping the beer from a can, looking at the sea, enjoying the balmy breeze when someone came and took the beer can from her hands.“I am finished, man. I am done…” She leaned back her head and closed her eyes, “I am so done. They have turned against me. The friendly folks are no more there, who were calling me their daughter-in-law. Can you believe this? Before the news of me being NOT pregnant, they were planning a grand engagement party.” She laughed sarcastically.“But now they are again treating me like a no one. So that makes me stand again where I started. Back to square one.”She was not crying but she was so upset that she would not mind killing one or two suckers from the palace.“I was never a fan of becoming someone prominent or being the center of attention. But why do they think that it’s their fuc*king right to take away my self-respect? Why?”
She could not get a good sleep. Though Ezequiel had been disturbed by her continuous tossing and turning in bed but he did not complain.This morning he brought her breakfast in bed with every intention to spend the day with her but unfortunately was called for urgent meetings.“I am canceling the meeting.”“No Zeki. Don’t. I am perfectly fine.”“I don’t want to leave you alone honey.”“You should.” She tried to stuff her mouth with a half-left croissant on her tray, “Please go ahead with your meetings. You have got some very handsome staff here. I need to flirt with them.”Ezequiel choked badly on his coffee, “Are you kidding me?”Placing his cup aside he held her hair a little roughly and kissed her. There was no hurry. He took his sweet time to taste her lips and mouth as if he was trying to mark his territory.Hmm. So mister is jealous. She

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
