my anticipated freedom

Chapter 1(my anticipated freedom)

Hazel's Point Of View

"No!”I cried as the casket was being lowered into the ground.

I ran towards where the casket was being lowered, I wasn't ready to let go. I'd rather be buried down there with him than let go of him.

The men in charge of the burial stopped me in my tracks, holding me back. I kicked and punched to escape their grasp but it was all useless. They began to cover up the hole.

“Let me go!!" I yelled, tears rolling down my cheeks as I felt a pang in my chest.

"I'm his mother! Let me go near my child!!" I begged but they didn't let go, instead, they pulled me back until the hole was all covered up.

They finally let go of me, leaving me to run to the grave and scratch the soil. I didn't care if it would take forever to dig it up with my bare hands, I only wanted to see his face. I only wanted to hold his hands again and caress his hair.

I wiped my tears even though more fell out uncontrollably. I tilted my neck back, realizing no one was behind me anymore. I had been crying for hours.

They all disappeared. They all left me with my agony. Those cruel creatures.

I picked myself up, making use of my wobbly legs after realizing it was of no use anymore. He….was gone, nobody cared about my son, not even his father!

I left with a heavy heart, returning to the palace. I didn't bother boarding a taxi, I didn't want to be in that palace in the first place.

I arrived at the palace, walking in. All the workers greeted me, and I threw them fake smiles even though I knew their sympathy couldn't be more fake.

“That's what she gets for being so arrogant." One of them whispered. Somehow, her words didn't do a number on my heart, I only headed straight to my room with zero expressions on my face.

I got near my room and was about to open the door but I halted when I heard moans escaping my room.

“Ahhh……yes!! Damian…...yess!!” I heard as I drew nearer to my room.

I recognized that voice, it was my sister's. I couldn't be less surprised. They literally fucked every where they found themselves and now my room?

They didn't care if I was around or not.

I slightly pushed the door open, peeking at them. Zara bent over as Damian screwed her from behind. Moans escaped her lips as Damian thrusted in and out of her in rhythm.

There he was, my mate, banging another woman from behind. That woman was my si…. No, she wasn't my sister, she would never be my sister. Never! She was just a betrayer.

After all, we don't share the same parents. I was the black sheep now. My parents neglected me for an adopted child. How disappointing does that even sound?

Each time I remembered, my heart sank. But today, I felt nothing, not even a little bit. I was used to being heartbroken every time, and losing my child already made my heart hit the bottom of the sea, so what was there to sink again?

He filled her up with his cum and pulled out, pulling her into a passionate kiss. Only if he would kiss me so passionately.

They got dressed and headed towards the door, I quickly hid myself behind the wall and waited for them to walk away before I came out and entered my room.

I could still feel and smell them in the room.

I sighed, falling on the bed while tears slipped out from the corners of my eyes.

“How did my life end up this way?” I whispered to myself, whimpering.

My life used to be so perfect, until Zara came into the picture and stole the spotlight. She stole my spot, stole my parents, stole my mate. My husband! She stole everything as if it was destined to her!

I used to be perfect, everyone loved me but somehow, tables turned and Zara switched from being the shadow to being the main character.

I had everything a woman wanted. A great life, great parents and a great husband- the beta!

I thought he would stick to me alone, only to find out that he was a special breed who could have multiple mates and then, the moon goddess chose to make my sister and I mate with the same man.

I just felt cheated on everything. She always stole everything from me and she was always winning as if she had the moon goddess right by her side fighting all her battles against me. Each time I grasp something, she would show up and grasp it tighter.

I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to flee, to somewhere far away where no one would ever find me. I wanted to flee from reality and run as fast as I could, out of existence.

I got up from bed. I knew I couldn't keep laying low forever, I needed to make actions and flee. At least they would then have enough privacy to fuck all day without caring about me.

I waited patiently for night time when Zara and Damian would be fucking, again.

Finally after what seemed like forever, the time came and I went out of the room, sneaking.

As I approached the entrance of the palace, a voice abruptly stopped me.

“Miss, what are you doing out here?".

I turned back and saw it was one of the guards. I waved my hand, pretending like everything was fine.

“I'm fine, I just need to go out for some air." I replied. “Losing a child is really…… heartbreaking," I added, my heart shattering into pieces again as I remembered.

That did it, he nodded and forced a smile before leaving.

I slipped out of the gate, walked further a little and as soon as I was about ten feet away, I took to my heels, fleeing.

The sound of my feet beating against the floor echoed in the streets but I didn't care, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I was desperate for freedom.

I tilted my neck back, still running. A smile crept on my face as I didn't see the palace again, it was all covered in fog.

This is it, my anticipated freedom.

I cocked my neck back forward, only to run into something hard and fall to the floor.

My heart pounded as I looked up and saw a muscular figure in front of me, his blue eyes piercing through the fog that covered his face.

My chest heaved up and down as I balled my fist, capturing some soil in my palm.

“Where do you think you're going?".
