~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~I curled and hugged my knees so tightly, feeling like a seven years old girl once again.Afraid for dear life."You belong to the devil, traitor!"The two armed men grabbed me roughly and made me stand up."You're hurting me."I cried out desperately but the tight grip only tightened ten folds.Monalisa wrapped her hands around my waist so tightly as though doing so would prevent the armed soldiers from taking me away."Please let her go, don't hurt her.Hazel is a good person,she has never wronged anyone or kill."Lisa pleaded on my behalf and a hard slap landed on her cheek which sent her back to the ground and she screamed in agony.I wanted to help Lisa get through the pain but I was in no position to help her.I tried to break free from their grips and ran to Monalisa but they only pulled me away from her."Where are you taking my daughter?"Grandpa asked and I shook my head in denial.I didn't want to get him involved in my problems.I didn't want anyone else to get hurt."We're
~Hazel~"Leave her alone and don't you ever touch her again! Anyone who would ever lay a finger on her would have me to contend with."He said, his voice high and commanding that it made the soldiers shiver and they nodded their heads in fear.The soldiers turned around and disappeared into thin air. My eyes never left his, more tears flowed from my eyes because indeed I couldn't believe that Prince Luciano had come to my rescue.If it was like a sweet dream and I didn't want to wake up and face reality. I wanted to dream forever."Hazel."For the first time since I stepped foot in South, he called my name. His voice was deep and soothing and there was something that I couldn't decipher about how he called my name.The words rolled over his tongue so easily without making an effort.Does this mean he knew my name along along but he has been preventing as though he didn't know anything about me?"Prince…"I choked out, soft sobs escaping my lips because I couldn't believe that I was still
~Luciano~"She needs your comfort."Liam, my wolf purred in my head, giving me directions because he knows too well that I'm poor when it comes to dealing with women.I'm twenty nine but I'm yet to find my fated and I never bothered to have a mistress or chose a mate for myself.My entire life I have been busy taking over the packs, to fulfil my father's dream of taking over the East. I didn't have time for women, I didn't have time to live.I hesitantly wrapped my hand around Hazel's small figure, she was so small in my arms and she fitted perfectly. I rubbed her back gently, stealing some knowledge from Hades.Hades is good with women and I would watch him silently as ladies sat on his laps.Lycan ladies tried to seduce me whenever we attended parties with Hades and Gamma Jonas but I never showed any interest in them.My mind was always occupied with accomplishing what my dad started.Hazel cried even more when I rubbed her back and I didn't know what to do next. I closed my eyes and
~Hazel~I blinked my sore eyes countless times to get rid of the blurry vision when the morning light hit my face. I groaned because my eyes were painful and tossed on the bed.I shot up because the bed was too comfortable compared to sleeping on the floor at grandpa's.That's when I recalled that I was in the prince's room.The room was empty and my eyebrows furrowed, before I could guess where the Prince had gone, the bathroom door clicked open and I couldn't help but turn my head towards it.A white towel was tied tightly around his waist, his shoulders-length hair was wet from the shower and it dripped water on his chest, making him look hot. Luciano looked more masculine while bare chested compared to when his clothes were on. The herbs were chiselled and deep.I imagined running my fingers over those abs.I swallowed hard when the thought popped into my head and I looked away.I didn't want to build castles in my head because it was crystal clear that we'll never have a thing beca
