hayle.“Look who is here so early!” I asked while moving up against the bed, the smile on my face widening by the second. I had not expected him to be up in my room as early as that.Although I knew based on certain things he would be out of confinement today, I only believed he would drop by after tending to other pack activities.The sun was not up; it was still dark out, but the cold breeze that blew against my skin made me realize just how much of an effect it had—not so much if I had to say, and the truth being told, I had already missed him.“I came to see you, but you don't seem to be happy, don't you miss me? All you've done is get yourself wrapped up in more talks and complaints; just how much longer will you do this?” He asked with a pout,He looked cute and funny, yet at the same time, I felt relieved to see he was back to his old self. I threw my arms around his neck, pulling him into a warm and comforting hug.“What's that about?” He asked on cue, just like I had expected
Hayle's .I exchanged curious glances with Juliet as well; she said nothing and held to her silence, but we both understood what it meant.“I'm sorry, but I think there are more things we do need to talk about about Hayle, her urgent love.” He added hastily, and I swallowed hard, trying to bottle up the anger I felt within me. Although there seemed to be little to nothing that could be done about it, It still had not changed the prior notice that I had. It gave me a disturbing emotion, but I knew better than to act on impulse.“What's wrong? You don't look too good.” I added that I'm trying to sound as plain as I could; it certainly would bear me no hood if I ended up within the clasp as such. It would only make me really unstable; I just cannot keep up with any more complaints from him.“I'm worried about you; are you fine?” He asked again, in my direction. I could not think or say much about the situation at hand; we both remained silent. Juliet nodded slowly, as expected.“I'll e
Hayle's .“I can't do this anymore Juliet” I blurted out all at once, I felt pain shook at my sides as tears like never before slid onto my cheeks,, I remained on my feets bawling my eyes out, Juliet stood looking glum, probably at a loss for words.Alex had spoken to her in a rather harsh manner as well, and it was all because of me.“Its okay, we will find a way around all of this, I promise “ Juliet added in, trying to treasure me, she wasn't happy I could tell already, the look on her face made me feel more terrible, “It isn't okay!, did you see the look on his face when he walked away? He hates me “ I retorted that the words were sore against my throat and bitter against my tongue as I spoke, why was I still putting up with a fight?. I rose to my feet, clutched at the of my dress, darted towards the door but was held In place by Juliet, her arms holding me closer. Far off from the door .“We will be okay Hayle, it's just a little bit of time. We will get over this all wi
ethan .I walked past the corridor only to be met with the hateful and watchful gaze of everyone. It didn't matter much to me; as far as I was concerned, I had my ways of doing things, and the poor coral just had to take the bullet for all my mistakes.I cleared my throat before placing myself against alex's doors; he was probably sulking within himself. He's such a cry baby; he had always been. I saw how weak he had become after the death of his mother, but that wasn't the necessary talk; as far as I was concerned, I had better things to do.The knock became continuous as I heard him clearing his throat from inside. He probably had been crying all along and was wiping off his tears in order not to raise suspicions.“Come on, In ” He ordered, and I pushed my way towards the room slowly, bracing myself for whatever it was that I had to face. As long as I knew where I was headed, I was aiming for the crown; every other thing that had to come before it were the necessary sacrifices.P
Hayle's .“You should not be here, Hayle; everyone knows about it.” Ethan persuaded Me while he drew close towards me. I tried holding in a scoff before staring at my feet.“I'm sorry, I just need to find coral. He said everything to me. I can't. Without him, I can't. I can't live, Ethan, please... Help me speak to Alex, please. I need you to persuade him. I can't let anything happen to Coral; it wasn't my fault I fell in love with someone else.” I responded. I felt my insides churn while he pulled me closer, having both as if trapped behind my back. He certainly had a way of getting on my nerves. I was not interested in any of the newly issued fights.“I'll talk to him; he's only angry; he probably doesn't want to see you now; I assure you he'll come around; ire alex; he still loves you, but I think the best thing you can do now is give him time, okay?” Ethan asked, still holding his firm grip away from mine slowly.I wriggled away from him, still uncertain of what to do, I thought,
Alex's .“We camp here tonight!” I ordered my men as we both set off our horses, each one of them taking their respective stances. I walked further away from them while they set up the spot where we were meant to camp down, worrying all over my mind.My hands were tucked behind my back while I swallowed, feeling a little worried about the entire thing.“Is he well now?” I asked, having my teeth gritted, while Angel, the last son of our father, walked closer towards me.“He should be on his way already... But may I ask what this marriage is suddenly about? I know there are rumors flying about Hayle, but don't tell me you believed any of them. a new bride from nowhere? I decided not to ask you any questions because I believe In whatever you do, but I'm seeing this seriousness. You intend to take this.” Angel explained.I was not sure he understood just how much I was going through at the whole moment; perhaps a little bit of help was needed from his own end, yet he was deemed to be s
Ethan's .“You are welcome, your highness, traveling a route as far as this just to honor us.” Alpha Kylen greeted us with a smile on his lips while we walked into the chambers assigned to us. It was broad daylight already, and It had taken our men and both of us all night to get to Alpha Kylen's pack.“The men, are they provided with a place to sleep as well?” I asked Alpha Kylen who nodded in response.“Well then, I believe my brother and I would like to go on with the talk of the entire thing, the process involved, and the little talks of marriage, the plans we are to put in place,“ I asked almost immediately.Alex looked a little amazed; he said nothing all through, but his watchful gaze still remained pinned against mine. I could probably tell all the thoughts up in his head were none other than pushing me off to my limits."Okay, then, the maids will attend to you and the bride will be brought out; you both will have a conversation with her, and then you'll be escorted to the
ethan.“This is a common misunderstanding; I am not here because I intend to be anybody's bride.” She responded. Glaring at both Alex and me, she passed a frown to her brother, who was quick to stand before us.“I'm very sorry about her behavior; she's the only female, and I'm sure you understand how spoiled they can be at times. Please pardon whatever unnecessary attitudes it is that she brings up.” He responded with a plea, his eyes glistering for a bit, and a smile etched onto the sides of my lips while I tilted my head in her direction.She stood hastily to her feet, a frown on her face, while I rolled my eyes in my head.“We have one like her. They tend to be really rude at times”. I responded to Kylen's words.“Oh great. And I'm expected to get married? To that? She asked again, sure to have a glare passed in my direction, but she didn't see! flinch by a bit. All through my life, I had my mind pinned on success and other plans; always getting the throne was the first thing that
The heavy downpour of tears didn't stop as they streaked continuously over her cheeks. Pain and guilt arched at her heart. It was not her fault everything got down to a method like that, but she could not control her emotions at the moment. She acted out on impulse, as one could say, but that was not the only thing that bothered.She had a crush on Alex, and she was not sure why he was no longer running after her. It would be stupid for her to make mistakes as such or think about things like that; it was not really necessary on her end.Footsteps approached Hayle from the bushes behind; she got so tensed up that she had wandered far away from the Family ground. The only reason she had done so was because she didn't want anyone else from the Family to come along and make fun of her.“You look like a mess; what's wrong? Damsel in distress, ''Faedra'' asked. Still glancing towards her with a single intent, although it did die her good, made her happy to the pit of her belly seeing how we

Hayle stared out into the night; maybe for a couple of hours, she had her mind lifted off certain burdens, all thanks to Juliet who had accompanied her.She glanced down at her side with a smile on her lipsJuliet was fast asleep; unlike her, she couldn't get herself a good night's rest.If anything, it bore her more than enough. 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. Goosebumps. swarmed into her, she freed herself up to the conclusion that was not by any means the route for her.She stood in her tracks, her head tilted a bit while she pondered hard about what to do. With a single thought lit up on her mind s
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? Why did you come up with
Hayle’s POV.A knock settled on my door, sending jolts down my spine as I glanced up. I dragged my feet in the direction it came from; it seemed more like what could be done by Sandra. 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
AlexI rolled around in bed, my mind coupled up with her thoughts, I found it hard to sleep,My eyes darted over to the huge wall clock in the centre of the room, the seconds ticking slowly, that sound suddenly became louder for me to bear, sounded nothing better than torture.I sat up before putting on my shirt. 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. I sucked in air and stood on my feet deciding to go for a light walk. It could help me, or maybe not, either way, I knHaley’eded the help within myself outside the walls of my room.I felt a t
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
