A couple days later, on a blissful, quiet and charming morning, Freya stopped by. And suddenly it was neither blissful nor charming anymore. She was in really tight black pants and a leather jacket. A sack slung over her back.She was standing in the living room, her heavy black foots had left imprints of dirt on the floor and a servant was cleaning it up after her. Luca was busy in his father's study when she arrived, and ordered that a servant go inform him of her presence.Luca came down the staircase with furrowed eyes. Freya stood from the couch with a wide grin, her neck length, curly blonde hair bouncing lightly with her movement."Luca..." She grinned, "how come you are not ready yet?" Luca's brows furrowed a bit deeper. "Ready for what?" He asked, his eyes running down the length of her outfit.Her tight leather pants clung to her skin tightly, accentuating her shapely, strong legs. She had a lightly muscular build, because just like Luca, she too had a passion for traini
HAZEL's P.O.VIt hurt, it hurts so bad. The wretched thing had clawed my arm so painfully.My chest rose and fell rapidly as I lay upholstered in the back seat of our car. I was whimpering quietly, eyes closed."You would need to see a doctor." Luca commented from the front seat, "so the would doesn't get infected."I could see he was upset, very much so. His jaw was clenched and his blue eyes glaring narrowly at the road as he drove. I didn't respond, my entire body hurt from that one fling to a tree. What other vileness exists in these woods? I pondered to myself.What would have happened to me if Luca did not come to rescue me?I let out a shaky breath, gripping the head rest of the front seat.Luca's head tilted to the corner for a moment to check on me, before turning back to the roads."Just hold still" he said, "you will be fine." He assured quietly.I made a sound of acknowledgement in the back of my throat.What a terrible idea I had to go into the woods today, no so well
"Grandma... You are awake." Hazel gasped, walking towards the hospital bed.Grandma was laying there, a wide smile on her face, she still had her familiar same and pepper hair, though much shorter now.She stretched her hands, pending her arms for an embrace from her grandmother. She leaned into the big at once, Hazel wrapped her arms around her, a sob escaping her lips. "Grandma" she sighed, "I thought you would never wake up."She still smelled the same, that warm familiar scent of spices and fruits she always had about her, it was still there. She was almost as she could remember. "How could I not wake?" Hey grandma asked her, "of I do not wake, I would never get to see your face again. How would I go like that?"A dog escaped Hazel's lips. She buried her head in her neck, sniffling and sobbing. "I have missed you so much grandma" she sniffled, "do much has happened since you were gone."Grandma smiled, wrapping her in a warm embrace. "Really?" She asked, "tell me all about it.
Hazel with a very loud gasp. She jerked forward in bed, gasping and gaping for air. Luca was quick to rush to to her side, taking her hand in his. "Hazel..." He called, "Hazel you are okay." He assured her, rubbing his hand down her back soothingly.Almost immediately her nerves calmed, her breathing lowered and she turned to look into his blue eyes."Why happened?" She asked him, eyes slightly wide and confused.She was feeling a pinching, and throbbing sensation around her arm, she turned to glance at it, noticing the white bandage wound tightly around her arm. Her eyes widened a little... "The wolf..." She breathed.Luca nodded, his hand still holding unto hers. "Yes, we were attacked."She fluttered her eyes close and open rapidly. She remembered it, that huge brown thing, snarling abd growling as saliva dropped down it's sharp canines. She turned to Luca with a look of surprise and disbelief... 'You killed it" she breathed, shaking her head. He nodded quietly. "I was... I
Luca took a shower, stepping out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Laying in bed Hazel watched him walk out, drying his body and spraying some deodorant on himself.She inhaled sharply.Would she ever get used to that? The sight of his hard, bare body.She exhaled as he grabbed a shirt, pulling it over his chest. Probably not. He turned to her with a small smile. "how are you feeling" he asked her. "I am fine..." She breathed, "a little hungry though."He chuckled, "alright, sit back while I go get our dinner upstairs."She nodded her head as he left the room, shutting the door behind him. Hazel sat quietly on the bed with her feet folded when he returned with a tray of food. Luca walked towards her gently with the tray in hand, she moved her legs to the side, allowing him to seat beside her at the edge of the bed, placing their food on the table. "Here, I brought us food." He smiled, opening the tray to reveal a delicious array of dishes the tray. Hazel smiled,
You do not know why you are here do you? Or who you are married to. Everything you see and hear is a lie. Nobody here is who you think they are. Are you not curious then? To find out rue truth? About why you are here, Hazel? She frowned immediately as she read the note. Almost immediately, it turned to ash. Fear, it pounded through her ears as she read note. She could remember it, the day she went home from the hospital and the entire apartment was ransacked. A note so similar to this had been on the table, and just like this very one, it had turn into ash. She stared at the dark remains on the note, her chest rising and falling rapidly.What was this?! How did it follow her here and who even did this?!Had anyone been in the room before her and Luca? Who had access to here?!Hazel could remember very clearly Luke's words that day... He has said the ash from the note could be poisonous... She had no idea how that was even possible but she was very unwilling to test the waters a
Hazel was awake at night. For some reason she could not wrap her mind around the fact that such a thing as a note laced with potential poisonous substances abs will vanish into ash minutes after being unfolded, exists! And it had been sent to her, twice.Could it be by the same person? Was some sort of threat really lingering on her life? And for what reason?What could she have possibly done to offend anyone?Oh, marrying Luca Rossi. That was it. Luca had lined all the servants up, the King and Queen were worried, brows furrowed as they came to see the scenario in the living room."Luca what on earth is going on in this place?" The Queen had frowned as she came out, eyes moving along the long line of servants.Luca was livid, watching them all with a stone hard glare."Someone left darkash note for Madam Hazel in her room." A servant explained to the Queen. Her brows furrowed almost immediately, her eyes narrowing to all the servants in the room. "Who dared such a thing?" The Qu
Trusting anyone was becoming harder and harder the more Hazel thought about it, so right now, she decided to stop thinking at all. She stirred in bed, rolling closer to Luca who lay beside her, breathing silently. His long lashes fluttered for a moment, before opening. She found herself unable to look away, even though somewhere in the back of her mind she was anxious about the fact that he had opened his eye to hers, watching him sleep. "Can't sleep?" He asked, his sleepy voice even deeper and huskier than his normal voice was. She let out a shaky exhale, shaking her head lightly. "No."Luca stared at her keenly, his eyes flickering between hers. "Why?"Hazel was silent for a moment, staring at him before swallowing and shaking her head. "I don't really know, maybe it is the note."Luca quietly reached for her face with his fingers, stroking her cheeks softly.She let out a soft exhale, her eyes fluttering close momentarily under his touch.How is it that a person's brisk touch
