~Sebastian~Hazel turned her back on me and faced the wall when she saw me walk to the our room. She moved on the edge of the bed leaving a big space for me.It was evident that she didn't want me to be any closer to her.Hazel didn't talk to me the whole day.She was quiet throughout the journey to Silver pack and back.I tried to crack some jokes but she didn't laugh,I was met with silence and I kept my jokes to myself.She avoided me at all costs and all I could do was to stare her from afar.Heaving a deep sigh, I climbed onto the bed and moved close to her.Ignoring her reaction from earlier."You'll fall off the bed in the middle of the night. I don't bite."I said, sounding funny to lighten the mood. I tried to touch her and pull her in the middle of the bed but she pushed my hand away."Don't touch me."She woke up and looked at me, pain flashed in her brown hazel eyes. I wanted to stretch my hands and touch her beautiful face but I restricted myself."Are you going to reject her or n
~Hazel~I woke up and went for my morning runs as usual,I took a warm shower and dressed up for the day. I looked at myself in the mirror as I tied my hair into a ponytail and I didn't like what I saw.A sigh escaped my lips when I realised that I had lost some weight. There were dark circles under my eyes because of lack of enough sleep. I had nightmares often about my mother and I found it hard to get some sleep afterwards."Good morning."I heard his husky voice pierce through the quiet air but I didn't bother to look his way.I turned on my heels and walked out of the room without looking back at him.He had come back the shower.It has already been one week since Alexa moved into our house.I have asked Sebastian to tell her to get out of our house multiple times but every time he's about to chase her something would come up and it would become hard for him to do it.Alexa is so dramatic, she would collapse on the ground or go to her knees and start pleading. Sometimes she would
~Hazel~"You can ask me anything on this earth but don't ask me to let you go because I won't, Hazel. I can't let you go."Sebastian hugged me so tightly and soft sobs escaped my lips."You're mine, Hazel. There is no way, I'm letting you go. I love you. I promised your father that I would protect you from anyone who wants to harm you. I'm not letting you go."He shook his head vigorously and clung to me so tightly as though he was afraid that I would escape through the window and run away.I fought to get break free from his suffocating embrace and he let me go. Tears streamed from his eyes as well."You're hurting me, Sebastian. You're doing the exact opposite of what you promised my father. I can't take it anymore, Seb. Please let me go. Please reject me so that I can be free from this chains of fate."I begged for my freedom. I would have rejected him and left the pack if I had the power to.However, I couldn't since rejection needs both parties.He needs to accept the rejection so t
~Sebastian~"Where is Hazel?"I asked as soon as I got out of the car. Matteo bowed his head when he heard my question and I could tell that it was bad news.Matteo called me when I was in an important business meeting and informed me what had happened to the pack.My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage and thick sweat dripped down my spine. I couldn't help but feel some uneasiness. My eyes swept around the pack and my heart squeezed inside my chest. The Lycan prince's soldiers had destroyed my pack.However that was less of my concern.I turned around to look for Hazel by myself if Matteo didn't have the balls to tell me where she was."She's not around."I stopped in my tracks and froze in place when I heard Matteo's voice talk behind me. I turned around to look at him, holding my breath.I wanted to confirm if he was trying to pull a prank or whether he was serious about it. If it was a prank, it would be one of the scariest pranks ever. Matteo is good when it comes to pranks so
~Hazel~The track stopped all of a sudden and they opened the door. It was still dark outside, however, I was able to see someone being pushed towards the track."Monalisa…"I said in almost a whisper. Even though I wasn't able to see through the darkness clearly, I was able to notice her."Hazel…"She whispered my name as she climbed inside the track and sat beside me. The track's door shut and after a few seconds, it began to move once again.It was silent inside the track for some time."So he gave you to the Lycan soldiers as a trophy to prove that they defeated mountain pack."Monalisa inquired, her voice cold and full of hatred.Heaving a deep sigh, I shook my head gently."No, he didn't give me up. I was the one who gave up on myself. The prince's soldiers attacked the pack while he was not around, remember."I tried to make Monalisa recall and she nodded her head, remembering.She moved close to me and I laid my head on her shoulder like I have always done whenever we were caught u
~Hazel~The prince's cold fingers slipped under my chin and he raised my head slowly and carefully.His touch was gentle,and for a brief moment,I felt guilty for judging all the Southern men the day the bastard soldier slapped me. I looked him straight in the eyes, those icy grey eyes, daring him to do to me whatever he does to anyone who stared him directly in the eyes.His long,jet black hair was tied into a neat ponytail, high cheekbones, icy grey eyes which held no emotions in them, a chiselled jawline and perfectly carved eyebrows.He was so tall, easily seven feet and masculine.His fingers on my chin felt comfortable and I fought the urge to lean forward so that I could feel more of his touch."A half-breed."His voice pierced through the quiet air, deep and cold. I couldn't help but lean backwards when his name fell in my ear, looking for an escape from him.Monalisa looked at me, her eyes full of worry because she didn't know what would happen to me. The prince already knows my
~Hazel~"What are you doing here?"The prince asked, his voice deep and his face emotionless like always."I had a nightmare and I couldn't fall asleep again."I paused and heaved a sigh, "That's why I decided to come here to breathe some fresh air."I explained briefly.Unexplainable emotion flashed through his eyes but it was gone in a blink of an eye and his face went back to emotionless once again."What about you? Why are you here when you should be sleeping?"I couldn't help but ask, curiosity getting the better of me."I have come to hunt down half-breeds."He said, looking deep into my eyes and I couldn't help but shiver at his words. He was still reminding me that I was nothing more than half-breed.My heart twisted inside my chest as though Someone was squeezing it into a tiny ball.Taking a deep breath, my lips curved into a thin smile. I didn't want to look weak in his eyes. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of defeat."Please excuse me, your highness," I said and walked
~Hazel~I climbed down from the bed and slid into my clothes then got out of the room.I didn't have time to brush my teeth or even take a quick shower.I hurriedly walked to the door and opened it without second thoughts.I frowned at the man standing at the door.He looked so angry,as though he was about to kill someone.The man resembled the prince in most of the features. The only difference was that the man was slightly shorter and had short hair compared to the prince's shoulder-length hair."What are you doing? Keep moving!"He commanded, showing us to the exit. "Your fellow slaves are working on building the kingdom and you're still sleeping? We don't encourage laziness in this kingdom.You should know that from today onwards."I looked at Monalisa and she looked back at me and I saw fear flash in her eyes. I knew this day would come, that's why I didn't want to get too comfortable.I kept on reminding myself that I was a slave who was at the Lycan's mercy.I reminded myself every

~Hazel~Another two weeks passed pretty quickly.Everything in our kingdom was going just fine. Business between our kingdom and other kingdoms was doing great.Southern Kingdom was trading with Mountain Pack and I was happy that we were on good terms. Seb came to visit the South often to observe the market in the South and studied ways to improve on his side.Sometimes Sebastian came along with Alexa to visit us.The twins were growing fast and they were healthy. Grandpa was so happy to see his grandchildren grow into strong and healthy kids. He was always happy whenever Alexa came to visit us."You need to get some sleep,"My mind jolted back to the present when I heard Luciano's voice. He pulled me into his arms and planted a gentle kiss on my hair.Luciano took half a day off from his kingship duties to spend some time with me. We went for our usual walks in the evening and it felt so good to hold hands as we walked around. My lips curved into a smile when the day's events clouded my
~Hazel~TWO WEEKS LATER I felt Luciano pull me close to himself and planted a gentle kiss on my hair and I hummed in response. I wrapped my hands around him so tightly,my lips curving into a smile."Good morning."His voice was raspy since he had just woken up from sleep. I blinked my eyes countless times to get rid of the blurry vision."Good morning too."I responded lazily and he chuckled, "Do you want to sleep some more? For me,I have to wake up since I have a lot of paperwork to take care of."Luciano informed me, giving my body a gentle squeeze."No! I would like to help the queen with the workload. She has been working a lot lately with the help of Monalisa and my mother. Many business proposals are coming in and we need to take care of them. I need to go through some pending kingdom reports too."I explained to Luciano and he was quiet for a while.The former queen has been working so much and I felt bad for her. I just wanted to help in some way even though she asked me to take a
~Luciano~The look on Hazel's face told me all. That is why I didn't mention to her where we were going for our honeymoon no matter how much she insisted.I wanted it to be a surprise."Do you like it?"I asked just to be sure.Her lips curved into a more bright smile when she heard my question and she nodded vigorously."It looks so beautiful."She said in a low voice that soothed my spirits and Liam groaned in my head."Let's get off the plane so that you can have a good view."I stood up and stretched my hand towards Hazel. She held onto it and stood up then followed behind me without a question. I liked it whenever Hazel was submissive to me because I'm used to her wild side.Hazel looked at the surrounding attentively. I have been here countless times. I usually came here whenever I wanted to pull my mind from work and have some alone time.Being here with Hazel was a different feeling. I turned my head to look at Hazel, admiring her hair which was being blown away by the weak wind c
~Hazel~I looked at Luciano,my husband,the father of my pups,the love of my life,you name it.I couldn't help it but smile."Yes, I do," I said in a gentle but firm voice,enough for everyone to hear that Luciano is exclusively mine now!I picked up the ring and slid it on Luciano's finger slowly,taking my time because it was my day.The crowd clapped for us.I looked my mother's way and she flashed me a broad smile, crying again."Is there anyone who has a reason why Hazel Del Mundo and Luciano Hernandez shouldn't get married? Please raise your hand."The judge said and we turned our heads to look at the crowd.It was silent and no one raised his/her hand in the air to oppose the wedding."Now I announce you as husband and wife."The royal judge said and the crowd cheered. I closed my eyes when Luciano leaned towards me,before I could wrap my head around what was going on,I felt his lips on mine."MINE!"He said in my head and Mia groaned in response. We are finally married! I'm exclusively h
~Hazel~TWO WEEKS LATERThe day that I have been waiting for for months is finally here. The day that Luciano is going to show the whole world that I'm his to hold and keep. I heaved a nervous sigh as the make-up artist continued to do there magic on my face, preparing me for the big day ahead of me.I spent the night in my mother's room and she woke me up early in the morning so that I could get ready for the day ahead of me.According to our traditions, I couldn't spend the night with Luciano before our wedding. I tried my best to get some sleep but I couldn't bring myself to sleep because I was anxious.Monalisa stayed in my mother's room for some time then went to her room to have a rest. Alexa and Sebastian have come back to the Southern kingdom again to attend my wedding.The make-up artists stepped aside when they were done with their work. I was sitting on the chair before the vanity mirror, I turned my head to look at myself and my lips curved into a satisfied smile."You loo
~Hazel~Despite feeling tired,I lazily stood up from the couch and walked to Luciano who was walking to me and we met midway.Luciano wrapped his strong hands around me, "I'm happy that you chose me."He whispered and his grip on my body only tightened.We pulled off after basking in each other's arms for a while.Luciano brushed hair strands from my face and tucked it behind my ear.I looked into those grey eyes and all I saw was care and affection."I will always choose you over and over again."I whispered but loud enough for him to hear.Before I could say more words,he locked our lips and kissed me deeply."I have been holding back from doing this to you for way too long."He told me through the mind-link as he continued to kiss me passionately.I was breathless when Luciano pulled off and I gasped for air greedily.The corner of his lips curved into a smile."I told you that I would come back to you, didn't I?"He asked with a raised eyebrow and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his wo
~Hazel~Luciano pulled me carefully into his arms and patted my back to help me calm down. I held onto his golden robe so tightly as though my life depended on it and hugged him back."I would like us to go back to the castle so badly, Hazel. However,I can't because I need to talk to kings and queens from other kingdoms so that I can make allays and talk about trade between the kingdoms."Luciano told me through the mind-link and gave my body a gentle squeeze."I'm happy that you chose me."He said and I heard the happiness in his voice. He pulled off and looked at me as though he couldn't believe that indeed I chose him over Andrian."What about I ask Jonas Robert and Jonas to take you back to the castle? They will be accompanied by other soldiers for security, to make sure that you're going to be safe."Luciano suggested and I nodded my head at his words."I promise I will come back to you when I'm done with everything. I'm going to ask your mother to accompany you so that you don't ge
~Hazel~"MATE!" Mia purred in my head, just confirming to me that we had finally met our mate after twenty-five years.I searched my eyes in the crowd and tried to trace the scent.However, I couldn't see him.The scent became stronger with each passing second and my wolf fought for release so that she could go to meet her destined mate for the very first time."Hazel,Hazel."Luciano's worried voice woke me up from the trance that I was in and I turned my head to look at him and tears flowed freely from my eyes."I can smell his scent in the air, Luciano. He is around, my mate is around."I informed Luciano and he tensed when he heard my words but composed immediately."What?"He asked in a low voice but I could see fear in his eyes. I know he was afraid of losing me and so was I."Promise me that you're not going to give in to the mate bond, Hazel.You are Mine!"Luciano said possessively and gave my hand a tight squeeze.I wrapped my hands around Luciano so tightly without a care in the w
