~Sebastian~I was busy going through the paperwork in my office when I heard a gentle knock on the wooden mahogany door.I permitted whoever was knocking to walk in without raising my head from the pile of papers because I needed to finish the pending work.I know it has to be my Beta, I think this is the sixth time he has come to my office since morning. We have been so busy lately because we are trying to catch up with everything.My Beta is always there to support me and I'm glad to have such a supporting person.My Gamma is busy taking care of the pack's security and training more warriors since we don't have enough.Most of them died in war.I'm trying to recover the lost time. I need to work my ass so hard so that when the babies are born, I can have time to spend with them and not worry that much about the pack.Alexas is five months pregnant, nearly six months."What is it this time, Matteo?"I asked, still going through the business proposal from Lakes Pack and so far, I didn't
~HazeI~"We can call it a day!"I heaved a deep sigh, closing the files that Luciano had given me and Monalisa to go through and sort out some business deals and choose the ones that benefited the kingdom."I know you're tired and need some rest. I will leave you so that you can have a nap, the baby needs it if not you."I teased Monalisa and she rolled her eyes on me playfully.I know she was exhausted, it's just that she didn't want to admit it on my face."Are you sure you're not finding a reason to go to him, Hazel?"Monalisa winked at me and I couldn't help it but groan at her words.Well,it was true that I missed Luciano damn much and I wanted to bask in his embrace so bad but,I was doing this for Monalisa's baby too because I didn't want her to get exhausted."It's for the baby."I said and she smiled doubtfully at my words.Lisa knows how obsessed Luciano and I have been for each other lately and that's why she never trusted me even if I told her that I was worried about the baby."
~Hazel~Luciano had no idea how I wanted him to bury himself deep inside me the same way that he had just said a few minutes ago.I wanted his warm mouth on my boobs and his skilful tongue rolling on my nipples as he bit on them teasingly.I wanted him to make my toes curl in pleasure. I wanted to run my fingers through his hair and scream his name as he thrusts in and out of me deeply and nonstop.The words were not enough for me to explain to him all of the sinful things that I wanted him to do to me.So, I tiptoed and smashed my lips on his, kissing him so passionately and angrily."Spoiled brat!"He said in my head and chuckled. He kissed me back with the same anger and a groan tore from my lips.My hands roamed all over his body, from his shoulder-length hair to his back and I grinded my front to his already hardened membrane."You want it that badly?Come on,say it!''Luciano asked breathily when we pulled it off from the kiss but I kissed him back instead of answering his question.
~Hazel~I remembered those brown hazel eyes which I inherited from her.My father used to tell me that I reminded him of my mother whenever he looked into my eyes because I inherited it from her,the dark hair too.I recalled how she used to look at me with those gentle eyes whenever she told me stories on the bed before I fall asleep.I know it has been seventeen fucking years but…I would never forget her face because it was always on my mind.I had nightmares about her and that's why I would never forget how she looked like.Her eyes were so empty and I could see sadness in them without her saying a single word.They were like an empty shell and there were no emotions in them the way they used to.They were not holding warmth like it used to be.The smile that she always wore on her face whenever she laid her eyes on me was not there anymore.Her face was sad,the happiness was long gone and replaced by unexplainable sadness."I'm so sorry miss. I didn't mean to pour the coffee on the prin
~Hazel~"Hazel, we need to talk," Luciano told me in a calm voice but I could tell that he was trying so hard to hide the anger inside him.Why was he so angry?I'm the one who is supposed to be so mad because it is my mother who has gone through alot here in the South."You're right, we really need to talk."I nodded my head and the corner of my lips curved into a bitter smile.I looked around the hallway and realised that we had attracted so much attention.The servants and soldiers got back to work when Luciano gave them one of his deadly glares.I turned my head and looked at my mother and more tears flowed from my eyes. I realised she was crying too and so was Monalisa.Everyone was crying and I didn't know who was supposed to calm down the other.I wasn't strong enough to do it at the time."Mother, please promise me that you're not going to run away again."I cradled her face but she looked at me blankly and more tears flowed from my eyes.She looked at me as though I was some stran
~Hazel~"Didn't your father tell you that he was the Beta of the southern kingdom? Didn't he tell you that he betrayed his kingdom?"I was rendered speechless when I heard Luciano's words.Now everything made sense, it now makes sense why my father never wanted me to ask him about his origin. It now made sense why my father never mentioned to me about the past.Why? Why did he hide it from me? Didn't he know that the past might haunt me someday? Didn't he ever think that I would get caught up in his mess?"No! My father was a good man! My father would never betray his kingdom! I know my father damn well, Luciano! My father would never do such a thing!"I protested, screaming at the top of my voice and waved my arms in the air in protest. I shook my head in denial because I knew my father damn well! He would never do such a thing."If my father was the one who betrayed the Southern kingdom, can you explain to me why my mother got caught up in all this?"I fisted my hand into a tight fist,
~Hazel~Slowly, Luciano let my hand go and I stepped back, more tears flowing from my eyes. I looked at Luciano one last time then turned around and walked out of our room.Luciano didn't stop me this time, he let me go. I blinked countless times to get rid of the blurry vision and wiped tears from my eyes using the back of my hands.Servants who were cleaning the hallway looked at me strangely but I didn't give a damn about anything."Hazel, what is happening? Did the two of you fight?"Hades stopped me in the hallway on my way to the Gamma's wing and inquired.However, I didn't tell him anything because I didn't have the energy to.I had cried and talked until my mouth ran dry. I just looked at him and continued with my journey.I know Luciano will tell him about everything."Hazel?"Monalisa called me as soon as I walked into the guest room in the Gamma's wing. She was so worried about me and more tears flowed from my eyes when I saw her worried eyes.I looked at the couch and realised
~Luciano~I tossed on the bed uncomfortably for a thousandth time already but no sleep came my way. I gave up trying and climbed down from the bed and went to the working table to go through the work I had already taken care of.What was I supposed to do in the middle of the night? If Hazel would be around…only the goddess knows what we would be doing right now.I closed my eyes and a deep sigh escaped my lips when Hazel popped into my head. She has been in my mind for the whole fucking day until now!I tried to reach her through the mind link the whole damn day but to no avail. She had mind-blocked me and there was no way I could reach her.I asked Monalisa to reach her on my behalf but she asked me to give her some time. Lisa told me that Hazel is so broken and she was hurting so bad. I wanted to go to the Gamma's wing by myself and hold her in my arms but…I was afraid that things would only get worse.Hazel's mother is afraid of me, so it was not a good idea for me to visit her on t

~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
