~Luciano~"Sometimes it's not all about being happy. It's doing the needful, Luciano.Is sacrificing everything to be successful."My mother said, then pulled her hands from mine and my heart dropped when I heard her words."I won't watch you losing your way in the name of being happy."She shook her head, looking me direct in the eyes and I could tell that she was not joking about it.Liam howled inside my head when he heard my mother's words.My wolf was acting to Hazel,he didn't want to stay away from her."Leaders don't care about being happy or sad, all they care about is power. They always think about how they can gain more power and expand their territories."My mother said and my heart ached when I heard her words. It was evident that she was not going to support me.What is the meaning of being powerful if you can't share the happiness of being the most powerful Lycan king with someone you adore?I couldn't help but ask myself many questions."If your father and I could focus on be
~Hazel~I tossed and turned on the bed for a millionth time, it just didn't feel right sleeping all alone on the big bed without Luciano beside me.I'm used to him wrapping his hand around my waist and burying his face in my neck, inhaling my scent so deep in his lungs.I spent the whole day with Monalisa,so I didn't feel that lonely but I have to admit that I felt like the day was too long with Luciano around teasing me to no end.Heaving a deep sigh, I touched the empty pillow beside me and it felt so cold. Luciano had told me that he would spend two days with his mother since it had been a long time since he spent some quality time with her."Are you sure you're going to be fine when I'm gone?"I remembered his question when he saw worry in my eyes when he planted a gentle kiss on my forehead and was about to leave.I wanted to confess to him that I won't be okay because he's leaving me behind. I wanted to wrap my hands around him so tightly and clung onto him so that he wouldn't go
~Hazel~"What is wrong with you Hazel?"Luciano asked once again. I took a deep breath then turned my head to look at him and a small smile graced my lips."I took the herbs."Luciano creased his eyes in confusion when he heard my words, "And which herbs are those?"He inquired."The herbs that will suppress the Wolf inside me and make the Lycan more active," I said and his eyes widened in disbelief when he heard my words."What? Why did you do that Hazel? Who gave you the herbs? Do you know how dangerous the herbs are?"Luciano asked countless questions and I bowed my head, regretting the mistakes I had already made."I risked it all and went to the forest to look for the herbs."I lied because I didn't want Luciano to know that Rebecca is the one who prepared the herbs for me. I know Luciano so well, he will be mad at Beca and he will never trust her again.Beca is an innocent soul.She tried to warn me about taking the drug but I never listened to her,I was too stubborn and insisted her
~Hazel~"Yes, I'm okay."I nodded and put on a small smile to convince Luciano. He looked at me as though he was searching for some answers then nodded hesitantly.I was glad that Luciano didn't push me that hard sometimes. He was so understanding and I thank the heavens for blessing me with such understanding man.I never imagined the dark Lycan prince who was rumoured to be heartless was this gentle when it came to me.Monalisa can't believe it yet, I have caught her looking at Luciano as though she couldn't believe that he was the rumoured ruthless prince who everyone was afraid of.We continued to eat breakfast. Luciano fed me the delicious pancakes that Rebecca prepared for us and a lot of fruits.I looked deep into those grey eyes as he fed me the strawberries and a smile graced my lips and he creased his eyebrows instead."What is it? "He inquired and I chuckled, "I want you to know that I love you so much,"I confessed, my voice a whisper and tears welling in my eyes."I don't
~Luciano~"The old man must be so desperate to make such decisions.He wants you to marry her daughter so badly."Hades said as I held the carbon copy in my hands and I couldn't believe that indeed Nikolai had betrayed his kingdom.Marrying his daughter would be one of the dumbest things that I would ever do.He's hungry for power and their is no way I'm going to feed him."He's going to pay for every single crime that he has done. He's not going to get away with this again. Not this time!"I said through gritted teeth and clenched my hand into a tight fist.Nikolai is becoming so dangerous with each passing day. I need to stop him before it gets out of hand. I know he'll try hurting my mother or brother if he finds the chance.Even though we're not that good with my family for now, I don't want to lose them because they're the only people that I have got."He thought he's smarter than us? Being old doesn't mean you're smart or wise."My Gamma said and we both laughed out loud."But most o
~Luciano~I nodded and looked at Hazel with gentle eyes,encouraging her to go on and tell me whatever was troubling her. I wanted Hazel to know that she can tell me anything and I would be willing to listen to her."I'm sorry that I was not sincere with you. I went behind your back.I betrayed you, Luciano."She said and fixed her eyes on the floor, feeling ashamed. I slipped my hand under her chin and raised her head slowly and she looked at me,mixed emotions swirling in her eyes."You can always tell me anything and I will always listen to you."I assured her.I wasn't that surprised by her words because I had a slight idea of whatever she was talking about."I wrote a letter to Sebastian the night he attacked our kingdom. I didn't write anything that would put the kingdom in trouble I promise."She paused and heaved a deep sigh." I wrote Sebastian a letter to ask him to stop attacking the South and reject me because I want to move on from the past. I mentioned to him that I have alre
~Hazel~Fresh air brushed through my fur as I ran in the woods and Luciano chased after me. I couldn't recall when was the last time my wolf Mia felt free from all the stress that was haunting us day and night."The air feels so good against my fur."Mia told me and giggled inside my head.I allowed her to enjoy to the fullest."I know you were longing to be let free.I'm sorry that you had to go through alot,we are free now.You can ran as far as you can and play around."I told my wolf as we continued to ran through the woods and Liam continued to chase after us.It felt like Mia was caged for years. Her hands and legs were tied by silver chains which restricted her movement and drained energy from her veins.But all in all,she was still strong and all thanks to Luciano,Hades and Jonas for the training in the past days.Now that Mia was free,she decided to use the chance to play around. It reminded me of how Mia and Sebastian's wolf knight would run in the forest and play around back in t
~Sebastian~I sipped on my cup of coffee and continued to go through the pile of papers on my working table in my Alpha office.I'm trying to pick up myself from the ground where Hazel left me. I decided to let Hazel go. Even though I didn't want to because it hurt so much, I didn't have an option.I will never have her.He will never give her back to me. set Hazel free from the ties that bound us.I did something that I never thought that I would ever do in my life. I rejected Hazel. I still remember that night so vividly because it was one of the darkest moments in my life.I shifted into knight and ran into the forest. Knight howled to the bright moon in the sky.It felt like someone had pierced my heart using a two-edged silver dagger and it became hard for me to breathe.The rejection left a hollow in my heart. I don't know if someone would ever fill the gap. I felt so lonely and broken.I just hope that the rejection was not that harsh on Hazel.I hope she got through it and now she
