~Luciano~My Gamma followed behind me and we walked in silence. We entered my office and I closed the door behind us."Please have a seat, Jonas."He frowned at me, "Why do you look so serious? Has something come up? Has the kingdom been attacked or something?"Jonas asked me and I shook my head and raked my hair backwards."It's not about security," I told him and saw his tensed shoulders relax immediately and he sat on the chair."Why do you look so stressed out when it doesn't have to do with security?"He leaned on the chair lazily and raised his eyebrows at me.I walked to the cellar and picked a bottle of one of the old wines and two glasses. This conversation needed some wine."Let's have some wine as we talk about a few things that need to be corrected."I poured the wine and sat on the chair. I watched my Gamma pick the glass of wine and took a sip, humming in approval when the wine hit the right place."I called you so that we can talk about you and your mate."A deep frown settl
~Luciano~A deep frown settled on Hazel's beautiful features when she heard me groan."Are you okay?"She inquired, her voice gentle and soothingly in my ear.I know Hazel would understand if I told her that I was not okay. This time I didn't want to act like the strong Lycan prince that I was. I wanted to say the truth, I wanted her to know whatever I was going through.I dreaded seeing my mother because I'm quite sure they have informed her about everything I have done for Hazel, the half-breed that I favoured among all.The half-breeds that she hated so much.I took a deep breath and shook my head."No, I'm not fine," I confessed and tried to smile so that she couldn't be worried."What's wrong? How can I help?"She asked, and I felt the desperation in her voice. She wanted to help me feel better,she cared about how I felt."A hug will be just fine because it's something you can't control."I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly.She was surprised when she heard my words.However,her fac
~Hazel~Rebecca woke me up, I prepared myself and headed to the dining room to have breakfast.Hades, Monalisa and Jonas were talking happily when I entered the dining,they turned their heads to look at me and I gave the three a polite smile and they smiled back at me.However, Monalisa wasn't convinced. She looked at me with creased eyebrow and I ignored her glances.We plated our plates and began to eat whilea talking about random things.Hades and Jonas asked us about the East and Monalisa explained happily how everything ran.I didn't talk that much like other days. I kept on looking at the head of the table where Luciano always sits whenever we are eating.The empty chair made me miss him even more.I tried to ignore the tingling feeling of loneliness and emptiness that invaded my heart but…it wasn't going away no matter how much I tried to shake it off."Focus Hazel,focus."I scolded myself for a millionth time.However,the more I tried to ignore the forbidden feeling was the more
~Luciano~"Why? I mean why have you come back early? I thought you were supposed to stay at your home for two days then come back."Hazel inquired and a slow sigh escaped my lips.I didn't want to be reminded about what happened. I didn't want the memories to play in my head, that's why I came back this early, it's because I needed some comfort that no one could give me at home.I smiled at her words and didn't say anything."I thought you meant it when you told me that you would come in two days. I never imagined that you would come few hours after you left."Her voice was gentle and soothing in my ear. I could hear the happiness in her voice and Liam purred in my head."I…I…I missed you."She confessed her voice a whisper and then she closed her eyes.Her body tensed, embrace herself for the worse.I couldn't help but smile at her actions, I know she was afraid of my reaction. I was quiet for a while, just testing her."Open your eyes!"I commanded using my alpha tone and she opened immed
~Luciano~Hazel weakly snuggled close to me when I pulled her to my chest and a smile found its way to my lips."We need to get you cleaned up," I said, looking at her and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead."Hmmm…"Hazel hummed.She looked so cute and delicate. Why did doing something wrong feel so good? I couldn't help but question myself.I carried Hazel in my arms and headed to the bathroom.Hazel didn't let go when I lowered her in the bathtub,I could see fear in her eyes and I couldn't tell why."You still want it? We can go all night long, you know."I teased her and she let go, her eyes never leaving me.I joined Hazel in the bathtub and she blushed.We cleaned up and headed back to my room with Hazel in my arms.I placed her on the bed carefully and she smiled at me.I wanted to care for Hazel the same way she cared for me.Hazel kept on looking at me as though she couldn't believe what she was seeing,I caught her staring so many times.She was silent too and I couldn't tell what
~Hazel~I blinked countless times to get rid of the blurry vision and tried to move on the bed but…I couldn't because of the hand that was wrapped around my waist tightly and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion, wondering what was going on.The bed felt so comfortable and warm compared to my cold bed.I raised my head slowly and looked at Luciano, he was sleeping peacefully and tears flowed from my eyes uncontrollably.I knew this won't last forever, he would leave me for his mate once he finds her or choose a Lycan woman over me because of my mixed race.He will do the same thing Sebastian did to me when he found his fated mate.Luciano will leave me for his fated mate, it's bound to happen whether I like it or not and there's nothing I can do about it when time comes.All I can do is watch him from afar as he walk to his destined mate the same way I watched Sebastian walk away from me.My heart will break into a million and one pieces like what happened to me back in the East.My heart a
~Hazel~"Hazel, I need to have a word with you."The prince told me as soon as we finished breakfast.Monalisa peeked at me from the corners of her eyes and her lips curved into a wicked smile but I ignored the grin, as though I didn't see it in the first place."What's wrong? Why are you giving us such a look?"I grumbled when Hades looked at us suspiciously."Nothing."He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and a groan left my lips. I trailed behind the prince, I didn't care where he was taking me. As long as we are going together, it was okay with me.Luciano opened the door to his office and allowed me to walk inside first, he entered the office too and before I could even wrap my head around anything, he turned me around and pinned me against the wooden mahogany door and I gasped.He pinned both of my hands above my head easily using one hand and looked me straight in the eye.Luciano brushed dark hair strands away from my face and tucked it behind my ear. His touch reminded me of ye
~Luciano~"Hazel, open your! Don't you dare die without my permission!"I warned her but she didn't respond. Her eyes were closed and her body was unmoving but tears continued to flow from her eyes.She looked so fragile in my arms.Her face was so pale and I couldn't help it but worry."Hades, contact my doctor and tell him to come to the castle right now!''I told my betta and he nodded to my words. I pulled Hazel close to my chest and hugged her so tightly and walked out of the hospita hurriedly l with her in my arms.I ran into the woods because the distance would be long if we used the road.I shifted into wolf form and ran with my hind limbs.Liam howled, holding Hazel so tightly close to his body and protecting her from the overgrown branches. I arrived at the castle in my wolf form and walked straight into my room.I placed the fragile half-breed on the bed and shifted back to my human form."Hazel, can you hear me?"I tried to call her but she didn't respond to my question. I touch

~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
