"Southern Judicial Court found you guilty after going through the evidence that the prince presented. The letter has your signatures. I observed the handwriting closely and realised that it is the same as yours."Gasps erupted in the air and the councils began to murmur amongst themselves."You'll face punishment given to anyone who commits a treason crime. The prince will pass the punishment for you, mine is to look into the case involving any councils."The judge concluded and the corner of my lips curved into a smile."What? You can't behead me! I have served this kingdom for years! They're framing me! I don't know what the prince is talking about! I worked so hard to build this kingdom! You can't do this to me?"The old man complained, however, no one paid any attention to him.I nodded to my soldiers to place the chains on his hands and legs because he was not a free man anymore. He's a prisoner. He's my prisoner and on my mercy. I can do whatever I want for him."Get your filthy ha
~Sebastian~It has already been a few weeks since I rejected Hazel. I was confident that she was in good hands when the Lycan Beta told me that she was in love with the dark Lycan prince.I wish her the very best in her relationship with the prince and hope that he won't break her heart into a million pieces because Hazel has gone through a lot already.Mountain pack was doing alright. I had begun to build everything that was destroyed during the war and life was slowly going back to normal.I investigated what the councils told me about having a half-brother and found out that indeed it was true.My Step-brother is called Austin. He has his pack which contains only rogues and he's the Alpha of the group of rogues. He's their Alpha since he has Alpha blood running through his veins.I decided to have a proper conversation with him. He was still bitter about my father because he abandoned his mother when she was carrying his pregnancy.I felt sorry for them. I couldn't imagine how tough
~Hazel~It has already been one week since Nikolai got banished from Blackwater's kingdom. Life had gone back to normal.Luciano and I were not that worried about our lives that much.Luciano allowed me to help him out in taking care of the kingdom's matters. He trusted me and Monalisa to look into some matters because he had a lot to take care of and we were glad to help.We visited Grandpa whenever we got time. He was so happy when he got the news that Nikolai was banished.I tried to inquire about the woman who I saw taking care of the flowers the evening that I was heading to Luciano's office to visit him but…no one knew anything about her.It had become a habit for Luciano and I to let our wolves get free at night and play around. Mia loved Luciano's wolf so much. We watched the moon together and sometimes I fell asleep and Luciano carried me back to our room.Everything was getting better with each passing day and I was happy. I tried to bring up the idea of going back to be a do
~Hazel~Luciano looked at me from head to toe and the corner of his lips curved into smile."You look so beautiful."He complimented.I was wearing a white, silk backless dress which hugged my curves tightly. Silver earrings which matched perfectly with the silver bracelet, silver heels and my hair was pulled up into a loose bun, leaving two hair strands on either sides of my face.I applied light make-up to enhance my natural beauty and my brown Hazel eyes stood out perfectly just the way l liked it."You look good too."I complimented and he raised his brow at me.Luciano was dressed like a royal. A golden robe which fitted him perfectly and a royal blue suit to show power. His jet-black shoulder-length hair was tied up into a tight ponytail and damn! He looked so handsome with those pairs of grey eyes."Are you sure about this?"I asked him nervously. My voice was almost a whisper. I didn't want to do something that would bring problems to Luciano and prevent him from becoming the kin
~Hazel~I subconsciously touched Luciano's hand and gave it a small squeeze. He turned his head to look at me and gave me a small smile, then looked back at Marcus."Yes, she's half-breed, "Luciano said boldly and proudly. My eyes welled up when I heard his words.He was proud to introduce me to everyone and anyone. He wasn't keeping me a secret."That's interesting.''The corner of Marcus's lips curved into a smile and I heard the curiosity in his voice.Luciano pulled me into a side embrace and I snuggled to his side. It was warm in his arms and I felt protected against everyone who wanted to harm me."So you're allowed to keep her in your kingdom? I thought it was forbidden."Marcus asked curiously, inquiring for more information."Well, it's still forbidden."Luciano shrugged nonchalantly and I saw a deep frown on Marcus's face and he looked even more confused than before."Rules can be bent sometimes you know."Luciano said, giving my body a gentle squeeze.Marcus went silent when he
~Luciano~"Luciano…''My mind jolted back to the present when I heard a familiar voice in my heard, the voice was full of panic. I looked at Hazel and saw tears in her eyes."Hazel, "I called her name in almost a whisper, repeating her name in my head multiple times, trying so hard to distract my mind."She's around.I can feel her. I can smell her!"I confessed and tears flowed from Hazel's eyes when she heard my words.I pulled Hazel into my arms and buried my face in her neck and inhaled her scent deep in my lungs.I wanted Hazel's scent to take over my senses because my fated mate's smell was so strong and I couldn't deny the fact that it had taken over my senses."I don't want to break my promise to you Hazel. I don't want to fail you.I want to keep my word.Don't give up on us. Help me go through this."I told her through the mind link and my grip around her body tightened even more.I clung to her to prevent myself from following the scent and going to my destined mate. I just wanted
~Luciano~Her voice was soothing in my head that it made me want to listen to her forever. Taking a deep breath I turned my head to look at Hazel."She's mine!"I said in a possessive voice too and I saw her eyes well up when she heard my words.Where was she when I was looking for her? Why didn't she look for me? I have been looking for her for the past twelve years to no avail.Until I gave up.I thought that I was a lone Lycan. That the moon goddess forgot to create a destined mate for me. She left and went for studies without thinking about her mate.Without thinking about me!Now that I have finally fallen in love with Hazel, she wants to come into my life? Hazel has helped me crawl out of the shell that I have been hiding in for years.The shell of bitterness! The shell of darkness!The shell of thirst for blood!There is no way I'm going to let Hazel down.She has been there to comfort me when my brother and mother didn't want to listen to me.Hazel has always been there for me.Whe
~Luciano~I opened my eyes and looked at Hazel who was still sleeping peacefully in my arms. She looked so beautiful and I couldn't help but smile.I brushed the dark hair strands from her face and tucked it behind her ear carefully.I know Marcus wants to talk to me about his sister.Marcus loves Angelina so much and cares about her like a big brother that he is. I still recall how happy he looked whenever he talked about Angelina. But…I love Hazel more and that's why I rejected Angelina as my mate.Not because I hate her or something.I pulled Hazel to myself when the thought popped into my mind.I inhaled her scent deep in my lungs and Liam purred in my head,I think he loves her scent as much as I love it."Hmmm…."Hazel moaned when I gave her body a small squeeze and planted a gentle kiss on her hair.She knows my touch even if she's deep in slumber."You need to wake up, love." I whispered in her ear and she groaned in annoyance. I know she wanted to sleep some more but we had to pre
