Chapter 104(murdererâs path)Hazel's Point Of View:âHow dare you?! You killed my son!".My brows furrowed as I turned to Damian who was also confused.Damian spoke, âWhat do you mean by-".âI have some respect for you as the Alpha, but how dare you kill my son?!â."Sit down!â Damian commanded. She immediately sat back down, but the anger didn't wipe off her face.âI just got a mindlink from the men who I sent to the human world to help investigate the murder faster with technology. They said your fingerprint is all over the knife. They're at the gate, but the guards are not letting them in! Why did you kill him?â She asked, teeth grinding."Why did I kill him? I didn't kill him! This is a false accusation, please. It's either your men are lying or YOU are lying!â Damian shot back."Are you calling me a liar?".âYour words just made me lose respect for you so yes, you are a liar.â He replied."Why did you kill my son is what I am asking, Alpha. Why?â.âI did not kill your son. As a be
Chapter 105(new beginning)Hazel's Point Of View:'MURDERER'S PATH. EXPLORE ALONE!â.My heart drummed against my ribcage. I decided to return to the palace as fear began to haunt me but just then, I saw some other words written in red dripping liquid on the wall by my left.'NO TURNING BACK!â.I looked forward and saw the same eyes in a black cloak pierce into me before running into the corners again.I let out a sigh, clenching my fist before going further.This was the only way I could save Damian from any of these.I moved swiftly through the narrow path until I got to the end which had another path by the right, but this path was all bushy.I spotted the figure in a black cloak standing before a tree there.I quickly ran towards the person until we were only a few feet apart.âWho are you?" I breathed out, still trying to catch my breath.I didn't see it but I could feel it, I could feel the devilish smirk on the person's face.âReveal yourself!" I shouted.The figure raised their
Chapter 106(let's have a one night stand)Damian's Point Of View:"There we have it! Murderer!!" The head elder shouted.Hazel got up and left the dining room immediately but I barely noticed, I was more invested in the silly argument.âI said I am not the murderer! Why would I kill your son?! I was his beta, a loyal one and you know it!".âI don't know why you did it but I promise you'll regret ever even thinking of it in the first place!â She raised her voice, banging her hand on the table before exiting the dining room with her men behind her.âBring up a better plan to frame me next time, rather than coming up with half done plans and messing it all up like this! Quit disgracing yourselves!â I protested, fighting the urge to flip the table over.I rose up in rage, flinging my chair across the room before heading to my room.I slammed the door behind me, pacing back and forth the room, trying to gather my thoughts.I couldn't believe it. How would the head elder think I was respons
Chapter 107(love or reputation)Damian's Point Of View:What sort of game was Sophia playing here? Why was she requesting a one night stand in exchange for revealing the murderer's identity? Was this a game? Or would she really reveal who the murderer was? What was she trying to gain? Or what if this was only a loyalty test?Either way, revealing the murderer's identity was really essential to prove my innocence.Still, Either way, my loyalty to Hazel was also essential and goes a long way in our relationship.If I chose loyalty, my reputation would be at stake and I might even get locked up or get killed at this rate since the head elder was taking several steps to prove I was the murderer.But if I chose to protect my life and reputation, Hazel might forever leave me if she finds out about the one night stand. Though she might understand, it wasn't certain that she would.And there wasn't room to be stuck in the middle of such a decision. It was one or the other. There was a lot to
Chapter 108(Truth behind Sophia)Hazel's Point Of View:Hours passed by and I still didn't switch back into myself. I was stuck in Zara's body. What were they up to back at the palace? It was getting late.What did Sophia want? Where did she get such power from? Just where?I let out a sigh for the nth time. My body(Zara's body) was so lanky and hungry. I could barely stand up anymore. I begged the guards for some food but they told me I knew the time the food would be ready as usual.Just as all hope seems lost, they brought me some food. I began to shove the food down my throat as if this was my only chance.Slowly, I gained some energy but still shoved more down my throat just in case.âEnjoying the meal?" I heard Sophia's voice.My neck cocked up immediately to look at her face. I sprang up and ran to the gate, drawing closer to her.âPut me back in my body! I need to see Damian, just a minute to see his face. PleaseâŚâ I pleaded, tears lingering in my eyes.She smirked. "Why plead
Chapter 109(Tiara(Sophia's sister)'s story- flashback)_FLASHBACK_Tiara's Point Of View:âTiara!" I heard Mum's voice from the dining area. I tossed my pen aside before folding the paper and tossing it into my trouser.I went out of my room and straight into the dining room.âHappy birthday!" They all cheered, including my twin sister, Sophia.I giggled, moving closer to Sophia and pulling her into a hug. âHappy birthday to you too, Sophie.â."I made for you both, a savory cake!â Mum said. âYou didn't have to." I said.She smiled, "I had to. Sit and have some cake,".We immediately broke the hug and sat, watching her cut the cake and serve us our slice.I grabbed my fork to have a bite.As soon as the fork went into my mouth, I couldn't help but moan at the taste.âThis tastes amazing!!â I moaned."It definitely does!â Sophia added.I took about two more bites before standing. âI need to leave. I can't be late for work!â I said, but I halted when I felt Sophia's hand hold my wrist.
Chapter 110(make mummy cry and beg you to stop)Damian's Point Of View:I decided that I would have a one night stand with her. My decision came with a heavy heart, I wasn't willing to do this and break Hazel's heart or betray her.I knew there was a chance she wouldn't find out but would I still be able to face her again after this? Even the thought of it made me more guilty than I was supposed to.But this was the only way I could get to discover who the murderer was. And that was the only way to prove myself as an innocent person.âAlpha, are you okay?â I didn't realize Arthur was already standing in front of me.âYes! I am okay, Arthur." I responded."Oh. Well, you didn't seem like you were. I've been watching you stand there for several minutes. Are you okay?â.âI'm fine. And thank you, twice. Firstly, thank you for asking. Secondly, thanks for reaching out to me today and letting me know you're her brother. You are the best gift I could give to her. Honestly, I had no idea it wa
Chapter 111(Sophia and Damian)Hazel's Point Of View:âI warned you the first day we met, you didn't listen. I won't listen to your apologies either.â.âI⌠thought it was an arranged marriage and there was no love involved.â."Exactly! There was no love involved! But Alex loved me instead, he showed me he loved me but never said it to my face. We had sex somehow and I thought we already had something for real! I didn't want a contractual marriage with Alex. I wanted a real marriage which was why I didn't show up for the wedding!! There was no way I could explain such a thing to his face and I thought he would understand eventually but then I wanted to go back to him to explain, you were by his side, you even had MY necklace the first day we met. I gave you time to leave, I ghosted and waited for you to leave but you didn't, you only had love in your eyes. I told him about my pregnancy, but he rejected it! Because of YOU! I thought we had something special until YOU showed up!! You bec
