~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
