Hayle.

“That's really twisted; you should have kicked against your father's words. Did you tell Alex about this?.” I asked, trying to maintain a calm expression, but I didn't think I could. It was unfair on Juliet, who had been the nicest person known to me all along, yet she got herself winded up in affairs such as this.

“please… I'm sorry if I knew this would ruin the good mood I would never have brought up. Let's talk about this some other time. I usually don't like speaking about it whenever it comes down to our chambers; rumors fly past real quick.” She added in as we made our way through the corridors and into our chambers. I pushed open the door, still contemplating what to do, and my eyes feel again to Alex's.

He was seated on the sofa, his eyes pinned on mine, as Juliet walked hastily to stand before me.

“I know you asked us to stay within the walls, but she needed air; all we did was go for a stroll, nothing else.” Juliet defended real quick, holding up a poise before me.

    Ethan.Soft, gentle knocks were placed on her door repeatedly. I got no response on the first few knocks, and later on, I panicked a bit and pushed the door, but it had been bolted from inside, which meant she was still in.“Hayle, it's me!.” I spoke up. I heard footsteps approaching the door while she pushed it open, revealing her fluffy eyes and black circles beneath them. Her face seemed rough, as did her hair. She looked a little sleepy, almost like I had woken her from her sleep.“Why did it take you so long to get to the door? Besides, why are you looking like this?” I asked, breaking off but having the end slurred out long enough that she understood what it was that I had meant.“I'm so sorry, but I don't feel too well; you seem a little... Confused, if I might say, besides, what's the deal with you? I'm not making complaints, but I'm sure Alex doesn't want to see you around me, and if he doesn't get what he wants, he makes everyone else into the bad guy.,” she retorted, and a

    ethan“Alex said that?.” I asked with a smile on my face as my gaze widened the more. Things seemed to be getting right in pace; in fact, things were better without having me move just a single finger.“Talk to me! What exactly were the plans?.” I asked again as Bruno lifted his gaze to match mine.“There was no plan, your highness; he just asked that I stay away from her or I die, and I love her so much, but my family cannot end up dead all because of my selfish personal desires, so I agreed to his plans, and I went ahead with the whole thing. I was better; in my thoughts and through my mind, watching her from afar was the best option I had left.”Bruno explained that the more he spoke, the more I deemed it fit that all I needed to do was already set in motion.“I had no idea any of that transpired between the both of you; all I did was come according to the orders of the alpha mate, .” I called out again, keying in to the ends of my words while he swallowed hard. “Her highness was a

    Hayley’s POV.“That's impossible! It makes no sense!.” I yelled at the top of my lungs, my eyes cast upon that of Ethan. He sighed and tapped me gently against my shoulders.“I'm sorry, Hayley, but there is the truth to it. You may ask Bruno if you think I'll tell lies, but you know better than that.” My eyes loved the jumper; she wasn't saying anything; her face was void of emotion, and it bothered me a lot.Why would Alex do such a thing? Threatening the innocent boy's life for no reason? Why?....“Juliet, I'm so sorry. If Bruno may have lied to Ethan, we need to confirm this before acting out.” I responded, trying to persuade Juliet, who still said nothing. She sighed, and I glanced over to Ethan, desperately in need of help, but he shook me slightly away. Not saying a single thing I support.“I'll leave you girls to be now; I'm sure you'll handle it. Juliet, I am so sorry this happened, but I'm sure you need your privacy now. Hayley, let her be; she will talk to you when she feel

    alex.“Is there anyone else out there?” I yelled at the top of my voice, the anger piling up in me, making me sick down to very bits even when it had not seemed like I had done anything plausible, but I knew the truth. Something was wrong.A guard came in, running as fast as he could.“You called for help, your highness?” He asked, andI nodded.“Fetch me, Ethan, and tell him his heart better be almost out of his skin by the time he gets here from fear and the run.” I explained to the guard, who understood what I meant and stuck to his feet hastily as well.Seconds after I heard the tapping of feet approach me, the door was pushed open, and I frowned on my deep end.“Leave us!” I ordered the guard, who struck his face once again, to hurry out the door.“You called for me, your highness?” Ethan asked, standing with his face gloomy and acting like he had not done a single thing wrong. I felt anger wash up within me while I stared blankly at him in response to his words.“”Why are you doi

    Hayle.I curled up my knees slowly,glancing out the window filled with emptiness. I missed home.It had been months since I left, but I always believed I could actually have a fresh start here, cut down all loose ties, and give myself the happiness that I was determined for, but nothing came forth; it was all the same, back here and there at home.I missed Juliet; she was always hovering around me, but her absence today... I felt it, yet I couldn't get why everything seemed so silent and stiff; everyone looked dull, and no one was running around like before.My maid made her way in with a tray on her hands, swerving my dinner.“Can I talk to you for a moment?” I asked, and she gave her gaze back to me. A little uneasy, I left, but there wasn't much that was required for me to do either way.“Yes , how may I help you, your highness?” She asked, and I could tell from the look on her face that something was wrong. Pearl was usually lovely, so what had changed this time? Why wasn't she

    ethan.“Look who finally decided to drop by.” I teased her with a fair smile. She pulled closer to me, gloomy in her look, while I wondered what had been wrong with her.“I don't really feel too good around here,do you mind coming with me?'' asked, cutting into my words with a smile etched on the sides of my lips, and I nodded in suit, walk slowly behind her until he finally got to a secluded corner.“You couldn't handle all his gaze?” I asked, and she nodded, then hesitated a bit more. There seemed to be something else she wasn't telling me, some other reason why she had been using back. I had never been the type to worry about other people's affairs.But I've suddenly developed a particular interest in her.“Did Alex say anything to you?” I asked again, trying as hard as I could to feign a little bit of flashes and smiles. It was safe to say it didn't bother me one bit if Alex had caused more trouble; he had always been temperamental, and now that his foothold was finally dead, I

    Hayle.It's been a few days in and out of Alex's room, and although nothing had changed a bit, he remained adamant notwithstanding what the situation was. Instantly, it made me worried sick, and an unsettling feeling thugged at the pit of my belly. I swallowed hard, hating every reason for my existence at the moment.“Alex.” I whispered as I made my way into the room once more. He didn't look good by a bit; with each passing day, he felt ill; he got worse. At this point, I wasn't sure if it had anything else to do with the demise of his mother; it would feel like it had something to do with an inner struggle of his.“Hayle, you can't keep coming here; why does Blue allow you in? It's against traditions.” He complained as he pushed himself up slowly again to the edge of the bed. He looked pale and a little worried. I swallowed hard as I reached out my palms towards his temples as a soothing feeling washed through me.“You can't keep doing this; I love you, Alex, and it's breaking me t

What's wrong? You looked too torn up; I believe you made up with Alex already, or was I mistaken?” Juliet asked, not getting the whole scene I had reached, I swallowed hard and ran my hands into the air before pulling closer to her.“the baby… I don't want it to grow around conditions like this, and besides, I don't know anyone so far. Truth be told, I've been seeing questionable characters from my maid. I don't know if I should say this or not, but something seems off about the whole situation.” I blurted out to Juliet, who stared at me, a little taken aback.“What's wrong this time?” She asked, seeking to be tired of all the conspiracy I'm always bringing up.“Are we all going to forget that an attempt

She was restless and maybe angry, but for all she knew, there were other things she needed to bring together.Weak and tired, she needed a little bit of peace and quiet. It felt like much was done or could be done; all she needed was her mind set free.She slipped out of the room, slowly heading towards the balcony, but then remembered that she had previously passed out there and slept in the cold till the next day.

    None of Alex's words made any sense to Hayle; how could her womb vanish into thin air? Why was he looking so serious? Was that meant to be a prank for her? Womb don't just get off one's body."Is this the part where I laugh?” Hayle asked curiously, flashing her bright set of teeth towards Alex, who was taken aback by her attitude. Sure as hell, she had her way, but he had his as well, and he was way more determined than anything else to handle the situation as best as he could, but she was not going to help anyone at all.“I'm sorry,” she whispered under low tones and tried standing on her feet. The first thing she felt was a throbbing headache and an insane urge to retch.“This isn't funny anymore, Alex. What's going on?” She asked again, seemingly confused as her vision was a little blurry.“Here, I'll help.'' Alex added in as he made his way towards her swiftly, running his fingers across her eyes and slowly pushing up in place before helping her back in bed."Hayle, this is a jo

    HayleHayle parted her slowly and glanced through her environment. Things seemed different for a moment, and the first thing that stuck with her was the vague emptiness that she felt, followed by quite a migraine that took place in her mind. What exactly was wrong? Why had she felt like something important was missing from her?.She glanced around, and the surroundings seemed familiar; it wasn't her room. But it looked oddly close. The first memory that shook her mind was collapsing by the balcony, cold and lonely, scared for her life, worried that no one would find her as people hardly entered or passed through there.She heard the creaking of a door, and the first thing she had done was close her eyes shut, firmly and tight, yet she found it really strange; she could not have picked up the footsteps approaching until she shut her eyes closed.“What's wrong with me?” She questioned herself yet said nothing. “I can tell you are awake; why bother pretending?” Alex asked as he leaned c

    Hayle.The cold wind blew harshly against my skin. I circled up my toes and tilted my head a bit.It was odd; why did it look so familiar? Emerging from the room, the scent that filled my nostrils, I stretched my legs slowly and raised my head with a louder yawn.My eyes moved over to the balcony, and it made me really bothered. Why was I in a situation like this? It made me sick to my stomach as I realized I was no longer taken.“awake?” his voice covered around me, I tilted my head, In the direction the words came, as I shook slowly yet carefully, panic shocking at my sides,“Why am I here?” I asked, the words easing off my throat bitterly. I felt an uneasiness within me, and I pushed myself slowly towards the end of the bed.“Stop; you need to remain in bed; you aren't fully healed yet.” He complained even when I barely felt anything different within me.“some joke?” I asked, my gaze on his while he rolled his eyes in response.“What exactly is your deal?

I dragged my feet reluctantly towards the don't and pushed it open, but to my surprise, it was Ethan.“Good morning, still asleep?” he asked. I shook my head, a faint smile against my lips. I could not really tell him much. It was probably not the best thing expected of me, especially given the fact that I had spent all my night thinking about Alex.“No, you didn't wake me; I had been a little tired from the journey; sleep didn't come easily.” I responded to his questions, although he seemed a little tense and worried.“May I come in then?” he asked, and I nodded, pushing the door wider apart for him to walk in.“I'm sorry, my manners are a little terrible. What's wrong? You don't look so good.” I asked on the spot, fighting hard to have my senses all intact.“Do you like it here, Hayle? Do you like be

It was seventeen minutes past three in the morning. It's been more than two hours since I retired to bed, fussing about and turning to no avail.“stop acting like it isn't your fault, why do you always have to make decisions that I'll take the pain for?” my asked, ranging unnecessarily, I sighed before blocking him off the mind link when he had put up with a fight…he was right, I've been imposing my decision on him lately.Apparently, there seemed like nothing else I could do better.

    Hayle's I slowly opened my eyes, the room looked fuzzy and unclear. I blinked a few times to clear my vision, and then I saw someone moving around, but their features were all blurry. It reminded me of Alex, but I couldn't be sure.I felt a mix of emotions - confusion, and a bit of fear. Was it really him? I tried to sit up to get a better look, but it was hard. Every movement felt heavy and slow.I strained my eyes, hoping to see more clearly, eager to know if it was really him or just my imagination playing tricks on me when suddenly he drew closer and spoke up.“I really need to know why you chose to have yourself killed today,” Alex spoke, his words coming off more like an exclamation than a statement. He had intervened and disrupted Adams' plan to take me out while fighting me in the training field. I was so dumb to recognize that that had been his plan all along.How stupid of me. I cussed inwardly. I thought about what happened, and a heavy feeling settled in my chest. I r
