~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~"Ladies, you need to wake up and get prepared for the day before the soldiers come to bang on our doors."The old man told us and I groaned in annoyance.I wanted to sleep some more because I had just fallen asleep a few minutes ago. I wasn't asleep because of the change of environment and I felt so uncomfortable sleeping on the floor on the mat."Hazel, you need to wake up," Monalisa called my name and gave my body a little shake as though doing so would make me wake up.I finally woke up and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower while Monalisa prepared coffee with some cereal.It's not that I was complaining or anything. I was grateful, very grateful. It's just that I was not used to this kind of life and I know it will take time. Taking a deep breath, I managed to smile and picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip."I'm sorry that I can't afford to give you a decent breakfast."The man said and bowed his head in shame."It's okay."Monalisa and I said in unison."We're
~Hazel~My heart pounded wildlyagainst my ribcage when Grandpa turned his head to look at me. Her eyes are misty as though he was about to cry or something. Even though we had spent only four days together, it was enough for him to feel sympathy for me because he knew how things would end.Is this how my life is going to end? I couldn't help but ask a silent question that no one had an answer to."I'm sorry that I can't help you,Hazel.No one argues with the dark prince, "Grandpa told me through the mind link and bowed his head in shame, feeling helpless."Thank you for everything. You have been kind to us and that is enough, it's not your fault and I would never blame you for anything. It was bound to happen one day. I think my hiding has come to an end and it's time for me to face my worst nightmare."I told him through the mind link and tears flowed from my eyes like a waterfall."Hazel…"Monalisa grabbed my hand so tightly and pulled me back to her."Please don't leave me. You promis
~Hazel~"What are you ready for?"Hades asked, a deep frown settling on his face as though he didn't know what I was talking about."For…for beheading."I stuttered and he raised his eyebrows at me as though I had talked in a foreign language which he didn't understand."Who said you're going to be beheaded?"He inquired as though carrying out an interrogation."I thought you were coming for my head," I said and bowed my head then tears flowed from my eyes when I recalled how scared I was when I imagined a silver sword piercing through my neck."No one is going to behead anyone. The prince wants the two of you to go back to the castle. Where is Monalisa?"Hades inquired and I couldn't believe what he had just said."No! We are not going back to the castle. We're okay here. We belong here with the slaves and we find it comfortable here, don't worry about us.We are fine and comfortable here."I shook my head vigorously when I recalled what the prince's brother told us."I don't want to get
~Luciano~I sensed someone approaching me in the flower garden, taking a deep breath. I turned around slowly only to be disappointed because it was not someone I was expecting.However,I kept my face emotionless so that no one would know that I was disappointed."Hazel has declined to come back to the castle.I think she's afraid of Mark because he told her that she would be punished severely if she dares to come back to the castle."Hades explained to me and my jaw twitched in anger.How dare Mark stick his nose in my business?Where was he when I needed help in conquering all werewolves packs? He was nowhere to be seen! He was busy having fun and fucking around when I was busy preparing my soldiers for the fight to the death.I was so angry at my brother for touching what's mine.All the captives are mine.I'm the only person who has the right to do whatever I want to them.No one else has the permission to toy around with them apart from.Not even my brother,Mark."Did you tell her that I
~Sebatian~It has already been two weeks since Hazel was taken captive. Those two weeks have been like two decades to me, being away from Hazel was like a death sentence to me, I was dying each day when the sun rose and set.I have tried to seek some help from other Alphas to help me get my wife back but…all of them are cowards, they don't have the balls to face the dark Lycan prince.The councils are against me too, the only person who is supporting me is Pamela. I know Pamela is standing with me because she loved Hazel so much.I have never heard anything about the Hazel even though I have been trying to investigate South. I don't know if she's doing fine or if she's already dead. Fear crept inside my heart when I gave it a thought. I silently prayed to the moon goddess to keep her safe for me.All Hazel has to do is hold a little longer as I try to build the warriors and train them to attack the South.I looked through the window, the sky was dark and cold. I was still awake inside
~Hazel~"Wake up and get to work!"There was a loud knock on the door, they were the soldiers who had come to wake us so that we could go to work on building sites.This time we overslept. Monalisa and I woke up immediately and got dressed, we didn't have time to take a bath. So we got out of the house with Grandpa and joined our fellow slaves."Are you okay ladies? I'm sorry that I didn't wake you up early in the morning to get prepared for the day."I heard Grandpa's voice in my head and I turned my head towards him and smiled."It's not your fault, Grandpa. It's our fault too because we didn't wake up on our own."I told him and he nodded his head at my words."How are we supposed to get through the day without taking a bath and breakfast?"Monalisa grumbled."There's nothing we can do about it, Lisa. I think we need to get used to everything because it's going to be this way."I told her through the mind link and she groaned in annoyance.We arrived at the building site and began to ca

~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
