~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
~Luciano~I clenched my hands into a tight fist when I heard my beta's words through the mind link."Who is responsible?"I asked, my voice so cold and Liam flashed in my eyes. My wolf was so angry, he was wounded because he was attached to Hazel and so was I."Come to my room so that you can tell me more about the crime suspect." I told Hades and after a few seconds, there was a knock on the door. I walked to the wooden mahogany door and then opened the door for him.I was so curious to hear about someone who was behind Hazel's poisoning. How dare he/she tempers with what is mine mine? How dare he/she try to kill the woman that I have ever loved."She's a Lycan woman who poisoned Hazel. Gamma caught her while she was trying to escape."My Beta explained to me and my jaw clenched."What did she tell you when you tried to interrogate her?"I asked Hades and he was quiet.I could tell there was something more about the lady."Who is the woman and who sent her to poison Hazel?"I asked Hades,
~Luciano~I walked back to my room and found Gamma and Monalisa watching over Hazel."Have you found out everyone responsible for Hazel's poisoning?"Gamma asked me and a deep sigh escaped from my lips."It's complicated, I think there should be more investigation to be carried out. Hilda lied to me that it's my bro, Mark."I ran my fingers through my shoulder length hair and held onto it so tightly as though doing so would solve half of my problems."You can go and have some rest. We will look into the matter tomorrow. Whoever is the culprit, he/she will pay for it!"I told my Gamma and he nodded at my words."Call me in case something comes up, "Jonas told me and I smiled at him, showing him how grateful I was for his help. I was thankful for having such supportive people that surrounded me.I sat on the wooden chair at the edge of the bed and looked at Hazel. I grabbed her hand and gave it a small squeeze."I promise that I'm going to find someone who is responsible and make them pay f
~Luciano~"What took you so long to say the truth!"I said through gritted teeth and she lowered her head in shame."Nikolai told me that he would kill me if I dare tell anyone that he was involved in poisoning Hazel and that I slept with him."The bitch explained."So you're more afraid of Nikolai than me?"I whipped her and she screamed in agony."He threatened to kill my mother too and that's why I agreed to his conditions.She's the only family that I have left and I don't want to lose her like I have lost everyone in my life.Please don't let Nikolai hurt my mother now that I have told you the truth that you wanted to know."Hilda went to her knees and pleaded for her mother's life.Even though I didn't want to show it. I felt her efforts to protect the person she loves. That was the same thing that I was doing right now, I was protecting Hazel because I love her so much."You should have thought about your mother's life before going against me and trying to mess up with what's mine,bit
~Luciano~I clenched my hands into tight fists, restraining myself from punching the old man across the face because he was pissing me off."I don't have all day, Nikolai. You better go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush!"I said through gritted teeth and his lips curved into a smile."The half-breed deserves death, Luciano. I didn't care about her that much but when she stepped on my lane, I decided to place her where she belongs."The old man said and I couldn't help but wonder what the hell he was talking about."You're such a coward, Nikolai. You used the cowardly way because you knew that your plans wouldn't succeed if you used physical strength."The corner of my lips curved into a dim smile and I brushed hair strands from my face."There are so many ways to kill a rat, Luciano. I know you are young and you don't know why I did what I did. Now let me tell you because it seems like your father never mentioned anything to you about what we agreed on before he passe

~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
