~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
