Chapter 86(coronation festival)Hazel's Point Of View:It's been two days since Damian and I became mates and today was his coronation festival.He cherished me and cared for me like an egg but some part of me couldn't help but choose to believe it was all fake and he was pretending.But well, he could keep pretending. At least that was better than hurting my feelings. Fake feelings were better than none.He accommodated my friends, giving them their personal rooms individually. He treated them like we were family. One big royal family.He didn't discriminate against them. He made the servants respect them as if they were Alphas and Lunas and he always invited them to the table for meals.âCome on. Chop, chop! How long will it take you?!" Lucille exclaimed, impatiently waiting for me to finish getting ready."Come on. I haven't even done my blush just yet. Chill, girl. We won't be late.â I retorted, touching up my make-up."I don't see the need for make-up. Everyone is outside, the wh
Chapter 87(alpha and Luna)Hazel's Point Of View:âWelcome! Great members of the Dusk pack and today, we shall be crowning our new Alpha!â.Howls and hollers filled the air.I joined the crowd, screaming and cheering. Damian watched in awe.âLuna cheering for her Alpha huh?" He whispered.I smirked, rolling my eyes."A few days ago, we all bid goodbye to our previous Alpha, Alpha Maverick. A moment of silence and respect for him,â The elder announced, raising his voice.Immediately, silence took over for a few minutes as everyone lowered their heads.The man pressed further, âBut today, we shall welcome a new Alpha. As you all know, nobody unworthy has ever taken over this pack as the Alpha and we'll keep that tradition going for generations, which is why we bring you yet another worthy Alpha. He was our Alpha's beta and you all know him as a strong man who demands nothing but respect and so we shall respect and honor him until his last breath!â.Howls and hollers again.âOur Alpha sh
Chapter 88(strike me)Hazel's Point Of View:"Perhaps, is there anyone present who wouldn't like her to be the Luna?! Is there?!" Damian asked, raising his voice.The room was filled with silence but then a hand raised in the middle of the crowd.âMe," I heard a familiar voice. My eyes widened immediately in shock.That voice!Damian took a step forward. âReveal yourself!â.And then, a jet black curled up hair raised right from the crowd and right below the hair was a set of ice blue eyes that were unleashed.My heart skipped a beat as the eyes pierced into me.I clenched my fist, unable to move or speak.Even without seeing Damian's face, I could tell his teeth were grinding in rage.The figure fully rose up to his full 6â2 feet and made it through the crowd. Everyone gasped in shock and bowed their heads for their Alpha King, but as soon as he made it to the front, standing head to head against Damian and I, silence took over again as everyone anticipated a showdown.He was back. A
Chapter 89(The stitch)Hazel's Point Of View:âDo it. Strike me!â I prompted, raising both eyebrows.'SLASH!â The sound of blade cutting through flesh echoed.My eyes widened in shock. I immediately squeezed my eyes shut, expecting overwhelming pain but nothing came.I opened my eyes and looked to my left. A gasp escaped my lips as I saw Damian holding the blade in his hand. He stopped it from getting to me with his bare hands.Blood was visibly dripping from his hands onto the soil. He gritted his teeth in pain.My hand flew to my lips, silencing my gasp.âAlex," I whispered, my voice shaking as I walked towards Damian who managed to pull the sword from Alex's grip even though he was holding the razor sharp part which cut deep into his palm.I could hear his heavy breathing as he stared daggers at Alex.He dropped the sword, the iron hitting loudly against the floor.Alex rolled up his shirt sleeves slowly and carefully before lunging at Damian with a punch that Damian managed to esc
Chapter 90(Life Without You)Hazel's Point Of View:âAm I okay?! Do you expect me to be?!" I raised my voice, raising my body to sit.He stretched his hand to reach for me, "I'm sorry, I didn't know he woul-".âI clearly told you! I begged you to protect me. I could have died. How are you going to protect me and the unborn child if you can't just listen to me and protect me? Do you know what could have happened if I didn't step back?â I shouted.âI'm really sorry. I didn't want him to cause chaos in the pack,â He apologized, placing his hand on my shoulder as his eyes lingered on the stitch.I jerked his hand off me. âYou have to choose one! Being the Alpha of this pack? Or being my mate? Which one do you think it's better when it's safer and more protected? I'm pregnant, Damian, with your child, and you can't be slacking on your responsibilities. I understand you're now the Alpha but you need to learn to balance it out and know when to prioritize one over the other, okay?â.He nodded
Chapter 91(Alex is manipulative) Hazel's Point Of View: âI need your help with something," He whispered. âOh. Really? What's that? Feel free to ask me anything and I'll put it into consideration,â. He smiled, "Well, I let Alex escape, but before that, he mentioned having a plan to destroy the pack so I'm just desperate to find out. The pack is clearly in danger,â. I nodded, "Okay, sure. I think you should have the guards at alert and make the soldiers train day and night to be able to defend us against whatever is coming for us.â. He nodded, "I understand and your opinion really matters and it sounds like a good idea to me, but Alex didn't speak of it like a war plan or an attack plan. He spoke of it like a clever and smooth plan that'll outsmart us,â. "Yeah, that's more like Alex.â. "So, don't you think we need to somehow discover his plan?â He asked, I nodded, "Yes, but since we're clueless, we can't be pointlessly hard on ourselves to discover the plan. We are in t
Chapter 92(Tea date)Hazel's Point Of View:âThatâs what you keep saying but you make the same mistake all over again. What's wrong with you?!â I raised my voice.He let out a sigh, âI don't know what came over me. I promised to never blow this second chance and I'll try so hard not to. I'm really sorry. I love you and you know it, right?â.I shook my head, âI'm not even sure you do anymore. Who am I kidding? You don't! I clearly don't matter to you the tiniest bit,â.He pulled me into his chest, hugging me tightly as he stroked my hair, âDon't say that, I love you, Hazel, more than you can imagine. We're bound together now, okay?â He whispered before planting a soft kiss on my forehead.Tears began to prick my eyes as I slowly walked away, going to sit on the bed, staring into my palm.He came and sat beside me, holding my hands tightly in his.âWhatâs wrong?â He asked, his voice laced in worry as his gaze was plastered on my face.âI'm scared," I whimpered.âOf what? Me not protecti
Chapter 93(True nature)Hazel's Point Of View:âHe is extremely ill and his condition is critical, Luna. All I need you to do is calm down, be strong for him and the pack,â The doctor informed."What do you mean by he's sick. Sick?! He's way too energetic for someone sick. I'm not so sure your diagnosis is right. You can try doing it again, maybe you rushed it. Damian isn't ill.â.She shook her head, "He is terribly ill, Luna. He collapsed due to the illness. You can tell from his lips that he's ill,".âIf you are so sure then treat him,".She let out a sigh. "That is the tricky part! We can't detect what illness it is after trying so much to. We can't give him any syrups or concoctions if we don't know what exactly is wrong.â Said the doctor.I shook my head. âThen what are we going to do? He can't just stay like that without any medications? My Damian is dying!!â."Personally, I suggest you should consult the head elder to look into his health and see what's wrong. This isn't a medi
