Hazel was standing in the corner of the shop, starring at the large screen of race cars in front of her as though she was keenly interested, but in truth she could barely see what was in front of her. Her mind was elsewhere, she couldn't help but keep wondering what Freya and Lucinda were discussing.She sensed she was probably the topic of their discussion. Freya's siren-like green eyes were staring at her, she could feel it burning through the side of her faze, but she would turn her eyes to her, her gaze immediately flickers away as though she was never even staring before. Her lips pressed into a thin flat line. An unsettling feeling stirred inside as her as she turned away. She was really curious and wanted to know what those two were saying, she was the one who decided to give them space to discuss her though, and now she couldn't help but feel awkward standing here on as she watched the two teen boys in front of her play a race car game on the big screen. She almost wished sh
Where did she go?Luca was pacing the entire castle in search of his wife. He had checked the kitchen, the dining, the room, hell he even went to the library in case she found it and decided to spend her time there, yet he could not find her. His patience was wearing visibly thin, fists clenched and eyes glaring as he stormed up the stairs.He even checked Lucinda's room only to find it empty, including that of his brother Laz. He stormed to Luke's room, pushing the door open without sparing a common knock. Luke burst up from his bed in defense mode as his door slammed opened. He was in a tight black T shirt and a pair of boxer shorts, his eyes narrowed and fists clenched and ready to throw a punch."Luca what the hell?" He frowned as his eyes settled on Luca's glaring face. "Why did you burst in like that?"He shook his head in disbelief, sinking into his sheets. "You're gonna walk in on an orgy one of these days if you don't start knocking.""Wouldn't be surprised." Luca replied
Jace had a small, nerdy smile, one that reminded Hazel of a certain nerdy boy she used to like when she was in the seventh grade.Back when life seemed plainer and simpler.Alva used to tease her about it back then, she would turn beet red whenever he would flash her his small nerdy smile, revealing his pearl white teeth and freckled face. "So how are you liking it around here? You know... Our town" Jace asked her, running his hand through his thick blonde hair before tucking it into his pocket.Hazel shrugged lightly, turning to Laz who had grabbed a gaming console and was now going at it with Freya.She smiled "It's not that terrible I guess, here is a pretty simple and pretty beautiful place." She nodded her head in appreciation"I like the scenery, the serenity and the presence of trees and vegetation."Yeah, she liked it here. She liked waking up to the sound of birds chirping and not the sound of a truck blaring and honking loudly.He have her a small laugh "Yeah right? It can
Luca was in the room when she got home that evening.She had not expected him to be, so she was quite startled when she turned the handle open and found him seating on the bed with his phone in his hands, a furrow in his brows. She gasped a little, halting her tracks.He lifted his eyes up to her and his grown softened. He tucked his phone away into his pocket, standing from the bed. He had just took a shower, Hazel could tell. His hair was still a little wet, his body scenting of bath soap and his clothes fresh. He was in a dark blue T shirt and dark pants. He towered over her as he approached the door, his blue eyes staring at her. She inhaled deeply, tilting her head up just a little to look at her. He stood in front of her, his hand going behind her and shutting the door. His arm fell back to his sides afterwards."Where have you been?" He asked quietly, letting out an exhale. "Touring the town." She let out a slightly shaky breath.Not out of fear or anything related to it.
Time for dinner came again like rain in a night storm.Sudden and hasty. Hazel freshened up for the evening. She brushed her hair down into long beautiful curls, letting it run down her shoulders. She dressed up in a simple, plain, dark purple, short dress. She walked down the stairs to the living room first. The almost museum style living room was quite the place to behold. Dark brown and greyish couches and throw pillows, with majestically carved woods atop the head rest of each chair. In the middle of each spiral shaped carving was a small head of a carved wolf. And there again was that painting of the world on the far end of the living room. The wolf had dark amber colored eyes, each strand of hair upon it was very detailedly drawn out to make it look quite realistic. Those fiery amber eyes of it almost seemed to burn into Hazel. There were pictures hung up on the wall too. There was a majestic picture of the King, wearing a sort of ragalia and his crown.He wore a long d
Retiring to bed that evening, Hazel was calmer and still as she sat at the edge of the bed. She could hear the shower running in the bathroom. Luca was in there, taking a shower. She gripped the edges of the bed, sighing and exhaling audibly.Would dinner always get awkward throughout her stay here?It seemed to her the queen was trying her hardest to make her stay difficult.She felt thankful to Lucinda for taking her into the town today, and she was even quite happy that she skipped breakfast.She couldn't imagine having to bear through many encounters with the queen. As much as he hated to the admit it, the Queen was turning into an antagonistic mother-in-law to her. For reasons she could barely understand.Was it because Luca had married her even though she was not of royal or noble heritage?She had clearly implied that she married him for selfish reasons or golf digging.Why she may not be far off from the truth at hand. Hazel did not deceive or lure Luca into an etanglement
Morning came with the familiar sound of birds chirping. Hazel stretched, yawned and rubbed her face with her palms.She blinked her eyes open, sun rays seeping in through the window on her side of the bed. Turning her to left, Luca was absent.She sat up at once, rubbing her eyes. His part of the bed was unmade, ruffled and the the sheets thrown to the side. He had clearly woken up before her.Where is he? She wondered to herself. His laptop screen was on on the study table in the corner of the room. He had clearly left only a few minutes ago then?A flushing sound came from the bathroom, and he stepped out few seconds later.His brows furrowed a little and he gave her a small smile when his eyes settled on her and her ruffled hair. "You're awake?" He asked.She nodded stiffly, her brain seemingly a bit foggy from sleep. Somewhat rebooting."You're hair looks like a raccoon scavenged it for food." He joked, covering his mouth a little as he laughed.Her brows furrowed and she im
The servants had baked cupcakes, made sandwiches and had some chilled juice packaged into the basket. They all gathered to sit down on the blanket.Laz seating by Hazel and Lucinda seating by her mother. Freya on the other hand did not stop clinging onto Luca's arm. "What she we do now? We are all set." Laz turned to his mother.She cleared her throat, tilting her chip upwards a little. "Well I suppose we could start with a game of cards.""Cards?" Lucinda asked, she turned to Hazel. "Can you play cards?" Hazel shook her head, chewing this inside of her cheek. "No I cannot."The Queen shrugged, smiling, "then I suppose you shall seat this one out then." She grabbed a packet of cards and Lucy exhaled weakly as she begun to shuffle and share them. Freya clung to Luca's arm and "remember when we were little, your mother hosted a lot of picnics for us in this garden.""Oh yes I did." The Queen grinned, "you two were so inseparable, anytime you aren't over here then he is over your p
"Luke she is bleeding out... What do we do?" Luca stared frantically at Hazel, they had untied her and she was laying on the floor.Alva was in a corner in a pool of her own blood. So was Jace, and the demon.Luca had shifted back into a human, he carried Hazel in his arms, his heart beating frantically. He could feel her spirit fading... He could feel it in the depths of his heart. It caused him fear and panic to feel her slipping away. "I might have to bite her Luca... It is the only way." Luke breathed worriedly, "and if I do she would have Vampire venom in her, meaning she might no he able to bear you an heir."Luca stared at her on the ground where she was dying.He knew there was no time. It is now or never, he has to do something to save her. "Luke... Do whatever you can please, she is more important to me than anything in the world. I just want her to live." He begged. Luke nodded his head in understanding, he reached forward, taking her in his arms, he paused for a momen
"Wake up!" It came with a loud splash of water upon her skin. Hazel woke with a loud scream, panting and out of breath she stared into the eyes of her would be killer. She felt tears well up in her eyes. That woman....that woman in that strange dream looked like her. A lot like her. It looked as though she was being shown something..... being told a story of something that could have very much have been a previous life. She wanted to stay there, she wanted to not wake up from it. She wanted to understand her connection to that strange woman."You have the audacity to fall unconscious do you not?" Alva sneered at her. "You will not sleep for a second under my watch Hazel Jacobs, not unless it is in your death!" Alva Rogers concluded. Hazel's eyes fell to the ground, she had no words to say.Her spirit was weak and her willingness to fight and beg was already melting away. Perhaps she was starting to realize... Starting to come to terms with the fact that she could not plead her
Luke paced back and forth. He was tracing out all the details of his plan in mind, doing his absolute best to leave no stone unturned in his mission. Luca was seated in a corner of the room, food and water hand not touched his moth since his wife went missing.They were begining to fear for his wellbeing. His eyes were droopy and he was barely talking to anyone. He seemed so out of touch with his current surroundings. So much that they all feared he was already losing his mind. He would not talk at all when spoken to and any food brought before him was quickly pushed or kicked away. They learned to leave him be for a while. "Will he be okay?" Laz asked as he gazed upon his brother, his heart was filled with pity for him. None of then had ever seen Luca this way before.He was always very strong.... Always very strong in every situation... Not even once had something like this occured to anyone in there lineage for a very long time. "I believe he will..." Luke breathed. "What
"Alva you do not have to do this please I beg you." Hazel pleaded, her hand gripping the edge of her seat.Alva shook her head with a sinsiter smile written on her face as he toyed with the kinde in her hand. "You can beg all you want my dear but I already explained this to you... I have to do this. there is no other way.""Alva... you are are so out of your mind!" Hazel wailed, tears brimming at her eyes."Watch it!" Alva yelled at her, tossing a slap across her face."Argh!" Hazel winced as the pain tore through her left check, tears brimming in her eyes. Alva shook her her had at her. "I told you already, you are the one who is tied up and I am the one who has a knife so if I were you I will be very careful about whatever I am doing." she warned.Hazel whimpered as she lowered her head to the ground. she reached out to the depth of her hear, calling for Luca. He might not be a human being, but he cared for her, that she was sure of, that was enough for her. That man cared for h
When Hazel's eyes finally fluttered open, she woke up in her bed in her and Luca's room. Rays of sunlight were seeping in through her window and strangely enough, all the pain she felt from the night before was gone.The memories came rushing to her like a speeding train and her eyes widened in memory of it all. "Hazel... Are you okay?" She turned her head quickly to see Luca standing by the foot of the bed. His eyes were reddish, his hair entirely rough. He still had his clothes in from last night, stained by dirt and dust, and even a smear of blood. She stared at him with cold eyes, feeling bile rise in the back of her throat. Luca walked towards her cautiously with worried eyes, reaching for her face with his fingers. "Hazel are you okay?" He asked again. "Do not touch me." She snapped, flinching away. Luca's eyes widened, and he took a step back, watching her cautiously. "I am sorry I did not mean...""To lie to me?" She seethed, glaring daggers at him. Luca stared at he
Hazel is perched at the edge of her that evening, a strange feeling of distraught weighs upon her shoulders as she waits for Luca's return. She does not know what she will tell him when he returns but she knows what she would ask him for... The truth. One way or another, the truth has to come out tonight.By hook or by crook, she will not allow herself be left in the dark anymore by these people who absurdly believe that they knew what is best for her. Who absurdly think that leaving her in the dark is best for her! If tonight is truly a full moon as Luke had said, then either way she will find out the deal with this red book and what this mystery writer is trying to tell her. She rubbed her face with her palms wearily. She was starting to feel sleepy yet nothing would make her yield into it. Luca should be back by evening as promised. It was starting to get dark afterall, so he should be home anytime soon. They had long since stopped eating dinner downstairs at the table with
Hazel sat on the edge of the bed that night with the book in her hands and her elbows leaning against her thighs.She knew not what to do with this piece of information, what was all these implying?She turned to Luca on the bed where he lay still, breathing softly. His chest rising and falling. He looked so at peace.His long lashes were fluttered closed and his hand was resting upon his chest, which rose and fell in a peaceful state. What was the writer implying? What did the wolf things mean? Is Luca some sort of.... Shape shifter?That is not even possible that is the kind of stuff that happens in fairy tales and folklore. There is simply absolutely no way in heavens any of it could be real. Right?Hazel remembered the second paragraph of the damned note again. Cut him with a knife?Never, not even she was crazy she would not dare cut her husband with a knife. Especially not over some stupid note written by some obscene mystery writer. Luca belongs in her heart now. He ha
They had both entered the shower together after they had both had their fill of each other. He washed her with his hands. She felt pretty sore down there and she could barely stand on her own.He had prepared a bath for her by himself and carried her from the bed gently, she was already very tired and sleepy. How could she not be? She had had two more orgasms when he slipped into her. Her legs were weak and the area between her legs was sore from the size and action of his member inside her. She enjoyed every moment of it no doubt, she was quite sure she would be ready for another pretty soon. Luca circled her with his arms and pressed a kiss against her forehead. They were both sweaty and in need of a shower so he carried her to the bat tub he had already prepared, gently laying her in the water. He entered behind her and they both soaked in the bubble bath. He begun to wash her body for her not long later. She closed her eyes, enjoying the sensations of his hand against he
His lips enclosed around her nipples and she moaned, tangling her fingers into his hair. His fingers found there way to her panties again, parting it and sliding into her lower lips. He pumped his fingers in and out sensually, while his lips continued their suckle around her breasts. Whimpers and moans continued to escape her lips continually. The sound of her pleasure filling the room as she drew closer closer to her climax. Luca pulled away for a brief moment to admire the look of sheer pleasure on her face. He moved his fingers faster and her grip around him tightened, her moans increasing. "Yes... Please don't stop..." She pleaded. Luca smiled, he no intentions of stopping at all. He was enjoying this too, almost as much as she was. The look on her face, the sounds eliciting her lips, all of it was a perfect combination to drive him mad. His hardness impossibly worsened as she bit down on her lower lip. "I am so close..." She whimpered, thrashing around slightly on the
