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

Freya came around a few days later, her blonde hair tightly packed into a ponytail and her eyeliner accentuating her cat-like eyes. She was here to help the Queen plan her ball. The Queen announced her intentions for a ball at dinner the previous night, unyielding to the fact that Hazel was still recovering from her hunting injuries and there was a potential threat to her life lingering in the castle.Luca had been against it, but as mother and son shared a passive glare across the table, Luca clenched his fork, giving in to her adamance with a disappointed shake of his head.Hazel bore through it. The ball was four days away, so hopefully she would have healed much better by then as she was already mostly completely fine. "Afterall... it is high time the people of this kingdom got to be introduced to the woman their crown prince has chosen to marry." Was the Queen's yardstick for insisting on her ball. She said so sarcastically it seemed it almost pained her physically to mentio

Freya grinned as she strut into the palace confidently.Hazel was standing by Luca in the living room when she came, he gave her a passive stare as she walked over to them with her polished smile. Hazel stayed expressionlessly calm, she purposefully reached for Luca's room, wrapping her arm around his. Freya's eyes flickered between them both as she stopped before them. "Hey Hazel, Luca." She greeted.Hazel responded with a shrug and Luca remained passive. "How's your arm?" She cocked a brow at Hazel, "I couldn't come to the hospital because I have been sort of tied up ever since."Hazel shrugged, "it is fine, no one was expecting you."Freya's polished grin fell and Luca inwardly stifled a struggle to burst into laughter. That burn was good, and he usually found very few things funny, but the drop Freya's face did seemed like classical humor to him. She was speechless for a few seconds as Hazel fluttered her lashes innocently at her. When she opened her mouth to speak, the Queen

The night for the ball came, and no doubt the Queen made a very fine arrangement of the ballroom for this special day. Everywhere was beautifully lit with decorative lamps hanging atop different corners of the room. Red ribbons roped and wound around the upper corners of the wall and tables and chairs intricately arranged away from a spacious dancefloor. Even the food was awesome, you could tell without tasting just by catching a whiff of it's salivating scent as the servants arranged the buffet, cleaning wine bottles and glass cups and placing them intricately on well polished trays too.Hazel found herself without a dress for the occasion.She stood by the window, her eyes wide and heart rising and falling slowly. How she had forgotten to make any arrangements for a dress for tonight, she had no idea. All the clothes she came with were simple floral dresses or jeans and shirts. It seemed today had been scheduled to spur into an embarrassing disaster for her. The Queen would hav

Hazel changed into the silky, red dress.It was beautiful... Very beautiful, words could not describe how confident and pretty she felt in this flowing masterpiece of a dress. She smiled to herself in the mirror, tracing her exposed collarbone gently with her fingers. It was sleeveless, so the small scar mark on the inner surface of her elbow where beginning to fade was exposed. It did not bother her so much though, it was barely noticeable now. The doctor had handed her an ointment and instructed she put it on there twice daily, and with patience and diligence, the scar would fade entirely like it was never there within days, and just looking at it she could tell it was working wonderfully, better than anything she had ever been handed in a hospital in town.A knock came softly but urgently on the bathroom door, followed be Luca's hoarse voice. "Hazel are you in there?" He asked "you have to hurry already we are about to announced." Her eyes widened as she quickly recalled what s

A figure was lurking in the shadows, dressed in a black coat and peeking quietly through the bed of flowers as guests flocked into the palace for the ball. Like some sort of demon, he had cloaked himself completely in black, even his dark, beady eyes seemed like a vast of nothingness as he patiently waited for his entry signal. "What are you doing here?"A voice seethed in anger and disbelief behind him, reaching for his dark cloak. Her hand pressed against his back, retracting almost immediately with a pained snarl from her gritted teeth. It burned. He spun slowly, carelessly. "Waiting.""You do not intend to go in there dressed like this do you? You would be seen!" She seethed, eyes burning with rage. "If this plan fails, you would have yourself to blame! I have put far too much work in for you betray my plans like this!"His dark eyes rolled unamusedly. "Shut up little dog... Do not press me as though you are a lord over me."Her face fell and her brows furrowed tightly. "You

His fingerprint burned against her flesh and she fought the urge to let out a scream, to growl and claw at him. He grinned at her with devilish intent, watching with wicked joy as she squirmed, exhaled harshly and struggled to get out of his grip."You do not dare speak to me in such a way you little dog!" He snarled, grip squeezing around her neck. "I am a greater force than you can reckon... and any moment you forget that, I shall do it well to remind you that I can drag you right back to where I have come from."She let out a pained snarl, twisting her neck as she struggled in his grip. "S... stop!" she gritted out. He gave her a final malicious smile before releasing her with a scoff. Her reddened face was almost veiny now, she gripped her throat with her own hands, rubbing the now very red spot.She was fuming so much the redness of her face almost seemed like an internal consuming fire, ready to explode through her. "Leave before anyone sees you." He instructed in a slithery

The Queen and the King, already introduced were seated on thrones position at the top pavement in the room, each dressed in royal ragalia.The Queen had her chin up, her nose slightly scrunched and her lips slightly twisted to the side with her eyes feigning nonchalance as both walked in hand and in hand.The King was smiling lightly, his hand clutching his arm rest. The Guest parted to make a way over to the front, the music still playing softly behind them.Hazel stared around the huge ballroom which was alit with different orange bulbs glowing in corners of the room, the artificial flowers than lined the top edges of the wall and the intricately wound carving of a wolf in the corner of the room that seemed almost entirely realistic. Narrowed eyes that burned bright blue like a blue flame, and dark greyish fur, each strand of hair of it's fur carelessly detailed out and brushed in the right direction.It reminded her of that day. That day in the woods she was attacked by the wolf,
