Hello beautiful people.What do you think about Luciano's plan to save Hazel from the hands of the rogue king? Do you think that it will be successful or...he will loose her? Feel free to share your thoughts with me.
~Luciano~I turned my head to look at Sebastian and he looked surprised too. I know Mark has always been against me but…I never imagined that after finding out that Nikolai is a traitor, he would still side with him.My heart twisted inside my chest when I gave it a thought.Mark should be supporting me now that I needed him the most.I heaved a slow sigh to calm down.Nikolai walked towards us with a glass of wine in his hand and the corner of his lips curved into a smile."See who is here. Would you like a cup of fine wine?"He asked and I gritted my teeth. I looked at Mark with grave eyes and he shrugged nonchalantly,as though siding with the enemy who wants our family's crown is not a big deal."So you thought that we wouldn't find out that you're coming today?" Nikolai turned his head to look at Mark, exchanging silent words.What more has Mark told the old man? I couldn't help but question myself. I looked at Mark and realised that he had a banishment tattoo on his arm. I could tell
~Luciano~"Mark, please open your eyes!"I cradled his face and hooked it gently as though doing so would make him open his eyes and look at me just one last time."I'm sorry about everything, Luciano. This is the only way that I could help you out since you turned down every attempt that I made to talk to you. I just wanted to help out and that's why I came to the rogue kingdom to convince Nikolai that I'm supporting him. I know I have done a lot of awful things to you but…"He was talking to me through the mind link and his voice faded away."No! Open your eyes, Mark! We are not done talking."I howled and pulled him into my arms, hugging him so tightly.I felt helpless and I couldn't help but wonder what I was supposed to do. I recalled what we do to my soldiers when we are on the battlefield and one of us gets injured. I ripped off my shirt and wrapped it around his chest to prevent excess bleeding. When I was just about to lift Mark from the ground and carry him in my arms, I felt a
~Luciano~I hugged my mother tightly as we watched the doctors take care of Mark. They turned on the defibrillator and placed the sticky pads on either side of his chest but it couldn't detect his heartbeat that fast and it requested for electric charge."We can't lose him, Luciano."My mother cried out, clinging onto me so tightly as though doing so would help."Mark is strong, I know he will fight to survive."I encouraged my mother so that she could hang on as we waited for the doctors to inform us about Mark's progress. It was not that easy for Lycans to have a cardiac arrest because they are stronger than werewolves.Lycans have a strong support system and a strong heart, that's why they are rarely affected by heart related disease. It only means that the wound was so deep.The thought of it made me more worried.I watched as the electric current activated and it took effect. I held my breath, silently praying to the moon goddess to keep Mark alive because I'm not ready to lose him,n
~Liciano~"Mark is Nikolai's son?"I asked in a low voice because I was not that sure about what I had just heard. How can it even be possible? Am I his son too? I couldn't help but question myself silently."Luciano…"My mother called in a worried voice and I could see fear in her eyes."Is it true, mother?" I wanted my mother to tell me that she was joking. That she didn't mean what she had just said.There is no way the old nag could be Mark's father. Mark is my little bro and we belong to our father, the late king of the Southern kingdom.My mother closed her eyes and took a deep sigh.I had a bad feeling about what she was going to say and my heart pounded wildly against my ribcage."Yes,he is."My mother confessed in my face and the little hope that I had crumbled."I'm your stepfather, son. You should get this silver chains off me."The old man said in a mocking voice and a chuckle escaped his lips."Shut up, old man!''I said in alpha command and the surroundings trembled a little. I
~Liciano~Heaving a deep breath, I gave my mother's hands a gentle squeeze."Nanny just informed me that Mark is awake and that he's asking for my whereabouts,"She looked so nervous all of a sudden.I know she felt that way because of the task ahead of her. She needs to tell Mark the damn truth because she can't hide it from him forever. It's a perfect moment to open up and tell the secrets that she has been keeping for herself all these years.I don't know how Mark will react when he hears it. I don't know if he would understand why our mother had to do it. He grew up his whole life knowing that my father, the king, was his father too."Come on Mother, we need to get going so that Mark won't feel abandoned."I reasoned and she nodded to my words.However, I could see the nervousness in her grey eyes. I held the handle of the wheelchair and dragged my mother to the royal hospital.We arrived at the hospital and headed straight to Mark's room and it was true that he was already awake. Hi
~Hazel~When I was done having dinner in the dining hall, I bid everyone goodbye and headed straight to our room. I was excited to go back to Luciano only to be disappointed because he hadn't arrived in our room.I know he had to catch up with his family because things have been difficult between them for the past years. I'm happy that Luciano and his family are on good terms now.I saw the happiness on Luciano's face when he told me that he was going to have dinner with them. I didn't want to ruin his happiness and that is why I didn't protest. I didn't want to be selfish and that is why I accepted. He gave me time to bond with my mother when I found her and it would only be fair if I let him bond with his family now that they are talking.However, I couldn't help but feel somewhat neglected. I just wanted to be in his arms and enjoy the closeness.I want to cherish every second that Luciano and I are together because it's precious to me.I learned how every second to be close to some
~Luciano~THREE DAYS LATER"He deserves it, Luciano."I was looking at my reflection in the mirror as I fixed my hair when I heard Hazel's voice and I turned around to look at her."You gave him many chances to change but he chose not to."Heaving a deep sigh, I nodded my head to her words. I indeed gave the old man a chance to change but he took it for granted and now he has to face the consequence."I can't help but get worried about Mark, Hazel."I paused and heaved a deep sigh."Mark will understand that you have to do it!"Hazel encouraged me and I pulled her into my arms, planting a gentle kiss on the top of her head."He's going to pay for everything that he has done to you, to my mother and everyone whom he has wronged!"I said through gritted teeth and Hazel nodded to my words."I want you to stay in the castle. I don't want anything to happen to you and our babies, okay."Hazel nodded and I gave her a small smile. I didn't want her to go and witness the beheading of Nikolai. I'm
~Hazel~"We are finally free?"I whispered and more tears flowed from my eyes. I couldn't believe that Luciano had get rid of the forbidden rule. It was too good to be true.Again, he accomplished his promise when he told me that he would bend the rules for me, for us."Our babies won't be treated as outcasts when they are born.They will live a life where no one will hold a silver sword on their heads for being half-breeds."I wiped tears from my eyes using the back of my hand.I recalled how I was almost killed by the Southern soldiers when they found out that I'm a half-breed.I would be dead long time ago if not for Luciano.They wanted to kill me because I'm the forbidden creature in the South, half-breed.My heart twisted inside my chest when the memories clouded my mind.I'm happy that our babies won't go through tough times like I went through to survive in the South.They won't have sleepless nights because they are afraid that someone would know their forbidden identify.My children
