~Hazel~"MATE!"My mother and grandpa said in unison, confirming what I had just thought. I saw my mother fight the urge to run into her mate's arms.Grandpa remained standing in the same place, confused and surprised.My mother turned around and walked back to the room and that's when my mind jolted back to the present."Mother,"I called behind her but she didn't turn to look back at me. She walked to the bathroom and locked herself inside."Mate…"Grandpa said possessively and tried to follow my mother but Robert stopped him from going any further."Get out of my way! I need to go to get my mate!"He said through gritted teeth and tried to push Robert out of the way but he was too strong than him."Monalisa, can you Please look after my mother. "I told her and she nodded then left and headed to the bathroom where Mum had locked herself.I think she never expected to find her wolf back and the second chance mate. I know she was surprised and emotional because I saw the surprise and tear
~Hazel~"She's my mother."I told him and he creased his eyebrows in confusion, "But you told me that your mother died years ago."Grandpa asked in confusion.I recalled the day grandpa asked Monalisa and I about our families and we explained to him. He was so sad and promised that he would treat us like his own daughters and that is what he did for the few weeks that we stayed with him in the slave camp before Monalisa and I came back to the castle.I would never blame grandpa for what happened between Alexa and I because he was not involved."I just found out a few months ago that my mother was still alive."I paused and heaved a deep deep sigh."She has been staying here in the South for all those years that we thought she was dead, "I explained to Grandpa and he nodded his understanding."I would like to talk to your mother.Can you please ask her to come so that I can talk to her?"Grandpa asked with a pleading eyes."I don't think now is the right time, grandpa."I brushed hair str
~Hazel~I heaved a deep sigh,the day was so stressful and full of surprises. I talked to my mother and she agreed that she would talk to Grandpa. I just hope that everything will turn out great between them.Grandpa and my mother have gone through a lot in their lives and both have wounded hearts.I hope that they'll give themselves another chance and forget about all the pain and suffering that they have gone through.I couldn't help but imagine how Alexa would react when she learned that her father and my mother are fated mates. I can't believe that Sebastian is going to be my brother-in-law in case things go well. Alexa will become my Step-sister. My lips curved into a smile and I shook my head in disbelief.I was lost in my world of thoughts when I bumped into the queen who was moving in the hallway in a wheelchair. My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage. I have never bumped into the queen since I came back to the castle.I never went to the northern wing where she stayed with
~Hazel~ONE WEEK LATERI stared at my mother who was enjoying the morning sun in the flower garden and my lips curved into a smile.I'm happy that she was getting over the past with each passing day.She had regained the skin colour and the scars on her body had healed. We used both scientific and herbal medicine to heal my mother because I knew scientific medicine was not enough. She had gained weight over the months and now she was glowing.The only scar that remained was on the left arm.I think it will never fade away because it was so deep.The scar will forever remind her of everything she went through for the damn seventeenth year to see me again. As though my mother sensed that someone was looking at her from the shadows.She raised her head to look at the balcony and I smiled at her.Now that my mother has found her wolf, she's able to sense danger, smell her mate and sense if someone is staring at her and I'm so happy. I was waiting for the time when she would finally get her w
FEW DAYS LATERI stared at my reflection in the mirror and my lips curved into a smile. I was wearing a red comfortable dinner dress, white flats, white fur coat and my hair was pulled up into a burn, leaving two hair strands on each side of my face.Rebecca helped me to apply light make-up, enhancing my natural beauty. I was about to turn around because I was satisfied with my appearance when strong arms wrapped around me from behind and he rested his hands on the baby bump.Luciano rubbed the baby bump gently and planted a gentle kiss on my cheeks, "You look so beautiful," He said and inhaled my scent deep as though it was the sweetest scent."You smell good too, "He whispered in my ear and nibbled on my earlobe,I couldn't help but moan."Not now, Luciano. We have dinner to attend, remember no one is allowed to miss it."I warned and all he did was chuckled. I looked at him in the mirror and I didn't miss that evil smile on the corner of his lips."We can always find an excuse as to
~Hazel~My mother and grandpa walked towards us and I could see the smile on their faces. My mother looked younger than the first time I saw her after seventeen years.The heavy work that she was doing here in the South as a slave made her look a little bit older than her age.She is only forty-five years old. I'm expecting her to live more than a hundred years since werewolves, Lycans and Half-breeds live long."What are the two of you talking about?Do you mind your parents joining the conversation?"My mother asked and the corner of her lips curved into a smile."Sure,"I said and my lips curved into a broad smile, "We have nothing to hide. I think it would be even better if you join the conversation because we are talking about family matters."Lexa said and I nodded my head in agreement."I'm happy to see the two of you together.I know things didn't start great between the two of you. However, I'm glad that you talked things out and decided to put aside your differences."Alexa and I
~Hazel~I blinked my eyes lazily to get rid of the blurry vision and I couldn't help but frown.I realised that the space next to me was empty and cold, meaning Luciano had been gone for a while."Good afternoon, "I heard a familiar masculine voice.Heaving a sigh of relief,I turned my head towards the voice and Luciano smiled broadly at me. He was on his working table taking care of the paperwork.I checked the clock and realised that indeed it was in the afternoon. I think I overslept because of the exhaustion. And the fact that Luciano didn't wake me up pissed me off big time."Why didn't you wake me up?"I complained and all that Luciano did was chuckle. He pushed the file that he was working on aside and walked to me on the bed.He brushed hair strands from my face and tucked it behind my ear. His fingers were cold against my ear that it made me shiver."Why would I wake you up when you looked so beautiful while asleep?"Luciano said and I rolled my eyes at his words."Or…was there so
~Hazel~I looked through the window and realised it was already evening. I was not that surprised how the day ended that fast because I woke up late.I spent the afternoon and evening with the ladies since the men were busy taking care of the kingdom. We ate lunch together while storytelling and I helped Lexa to take care of the twins.I realised that Dean, the twin boy, is more stubborn than Ava. All in all, they looked so cute. Sebastian called Alexa to inquire how she was doing with the twins and she assured him that they were doing alright.I heard the love that Sebastian has for his family and I couldn't help but smile. I was happy that Sebastian cared about them that much. He was doing his best to be a good husband to Lexa and a good father to the twins.Heaving a deep sigh, I turned my head to look at Lexa who was breastfeeding one of the twins."Lexa, I think I should get going, "I informed her and she nodded in understanding, the corner of her lips curving into a smile."Thank
