Noah rose from his chair, his movements graceful and deliberate. He was tall, his body lean and muscular, his eyes a striking shade of blue that seemed to see straight through Hazel. "So," he said, his voice low and commanding. "You're the one who's been causing all the trouble."Hazel swallowed hard, her eyes searching his face for any hint of aggression. But she saw none. Only a cool, calculating intelligence that made her uneasy."I'm...I'm sorry," she stammered, her voice trembling.“Come on brother,don’t be so harsh on her” Maya pouts and hold Hazel’s hand “After eating,leave and don’t ever come back” Noah said Hazel stared at Noah in shock, her hand trembling in Maya's grasp. "Leave?" she repeated, her voice breaking. "But...but I don't understand. Why would you help me if you want me to leave?"Maya's grip tightened, her face pleading with Hazel. "Brother, please," she begged, her eyes wide with fear. "Can't we just let her stay for a little while longer?"But Noah's expr
Stone perfume company~ Noah’s Office Noah was working on a file when his two friends. Alex and Damien entered his office "Well, well, look who decided to grace us with their presence," Noah said, his eyes fixed on the documents in front of him. "What brings you two here?"Alex and Damien exchanged a look, their expressions inscrutable. "We thought you might be missing us," Alex said, leaning against the doorframe with a cocky grin.Noah scoffed, his pen scratching across the paper. "Miss who," he said, his tone dismissive. "I've been handling things just fine on my own."Damien's eyes narrowed his expression hardening."You can't hide from us forever, Noah," Damien said, his voice low and dangerous. "We're your friends, remember? And friends don't keep secrets from each other."Noah's hand stilled, his pen poised over the paper. His eyes flicked up, meeting Damien's gaze head-on. "What are you talking about?" he asked, his tone hard and suspicious."Oh, please," Alex drawled, rolli
Hazel walked with Maya, taking in the sights and sounds of the castle. She had to admit, it was a beautiful place. But even with Maya's cheerful chatter and the bustle of activity around her, Hazel couldn't quite shake the feeling of unease that had settled in her gut."You seem distracted," Maya said, giving Hazel a curious look.Hazel forced a smile, trying to push aside the worry that threatened to overwhelm her. "I'm just trying to take it all in," she said, her gaze taking in the lavish decor and ornate tapestries that lined the hallways.“So what do you do, I’m still in college and I modeled too,” Maya said Hazel smiled, impressed by Maya's energy and ambition. Maya's eyes widened, her jaw dropping in surprise. "A fashion designer? And you owned your own company?" she said, her voice filled with awe.“Your sister must be a very heartless person,” Maya said Hazel sighed, her shoulders slumping as she relived the betrayal.“It’s okay, we shouldn’t talk about her again,” Maya s
Next Morning ~Alpha’s chamber Alpha Noah opened his eyes gently and groaned before standing up “Oh jeez” he groaned, remembering how he got drunk with Alex and Damien “I’ll kill those two” He muttered Noah staggered to the bathroom, his head pounding like a drum and his mouth tasting like a dried-up well. He winced as he turned on the light, squinting against the harsh glow. He groaned again, this time out of self-loathing."Stupid, stupid, stupid," he muttered to himself. "How could I have let them talk me into drinking like that? I'm the Alpha, for crying out loud! I'm supposed to be setting an example, not getting wasted like a frat boy."“Oh jeez” He whined “Oh now you’re awake” Naya entered the room with Maya “You got drunk again” Maya questioned Noah shrank back against the bathroom counter, shielding his eyes from the bright light streaming in from the open door. "Yeah, yeah, I know," he mumbled, his voice laced with shame. "I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean to get so wast
Naya came out to meet Hazel sitting on the veranda “What’s up, you left the dining without saying anything to anyone,” Naya asked "I'm sorry, I just needed some fresh air," Hazel replied, looking out at the garden. Naya nodded understandingly. "Is everything okay? You seem a bit off today." Hazel sighed and looked at Naya. "I've just been feeling a bit overwhelmed. Naya reached out and placed a comforting hand on Hazel's shoulder. "I'm here for you, Hazel. You don't have to go through this alone. Let's talk about it." Hazel smiled gratefully at her friend. "Thank you, Naya. I appreciate it. Let's grab a coffee and chat." And with that, the two girls headed inside to have a heart-to-heart conversation and support each other through tough times. ** Stone Company~Studio room A lady could be seen holding the new perfume bottle, she is a model, and the photographer is taking pictures of her while she poses in front of a white backdrop.

Maya embraced Hazel, offering comfort and support. "It's okay, sis," she whispered, trying to soothe her sister. "I'm sure he didn't mean everything he said. He's just in shock and probably needs some time to come to terms with this." Hazel sniffled, resting her head on Maya's shoulder. "But what if he doesn't want me? What if I'm destined to be mated to someone who despises me?" Maya tightened her hold, her voice firm and reassuring. "Don't think like that, Sis. Fate works in mysterious ways. Maybe this is just a test of your strength and resilience. Trust in the Moon Goddess she wouldn't have chosen him as your mate if he wasn't worthy."“She gave you a second chance, I’m sure she wouldn’t let you face the same thing as the first time,” Maya said "You've been allowed to start anew," Maya continued. "Have faith that everything will work out as it should." Hazel nodded, taking a deep breath to steady herself. "You're right. I need to stay strong and believe that there's a reason

Same nightHazel entered her room, slamming the door shut behind her. The weight of her emotions crashed over her like a tidal wave, and she couldn't hold back the tears any longer. She collapsed onto her bed, sobs wracking her body as she thought back to the painful memories of Ethan's castle.The torment, the rejection,it had nearly broken her. And now, despite finding a second chance with Noah, she felt as if history was repeating itself. He wouldn't even give her the chance to explain, to show him that she was more than just a helpless victim.As her tears began to subside, a steely resolve filled her chest. She wiped her eyes, determination etched on her face. She had faced darkness before and emerged stronger. If Noah couldn't see her worth, then she would show him.Rising from her bed, Hazel walked over to the mirror, gazing at her reflection with newfound strength.
