The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 53: The Competent Stargazer
There was ringing in Hazel's ear. It was so loud, she thought she was dead for a moment.She actually hoped she was dead and had only just hallucinated the words she had just heard.Hazel could see her maid's face in the mirror. Her freckled face looked eagerly anticipating an answer as her hand moved up and down carefully brushing Hazel's hair with exaggerated attention.Hazel was starting to smell something fishy.Her heart beat so fast and so loud she wondered if the maid could hear.It was now it all dawned on her. It was all a trap. She had been lured to her capture. She should have known all of these were too good to be true.Her dagger was underneath her pillow. She had stashed it there. She made a mental picture of where exactly it was placed so that if the need arose, she would quickly run over and grab it.She was not going to hesitate to use it. She never had and she was not going to now especially on the bloody bastard, Sam.There was no way she was going down without a f

"The doom. It's here," The maid said with a voice that was distorted with fear as she leaned on Hazel.Hazel's arms were fast enough to stop her from falling to the ground.It was ironic since Hazel's hands had actually been raised to push the maid to the ground but she ended up using it to help her.Hazel had decided she was going to push her to the ground and blame it on some innocent ghost, but something else came up.A scream.The scream had riled up her already nervous mind and the gush of adrenaline that had surged through her had helped Hazel save the maid —who had been so nervous that when she heard the scream, she lost her footing and tripped."What is happening?" The maid asked, her body totally taken over by fear.Hazel wished she knew. She gave the maid no answer as her ears were trying so hard to decipher what the scream was for.All she could hear was the shuffling of feet as it sounded like multiple people were scurrying around.She could also hear whimpering and tense

As if her body had been moved, Mrs. Aidan's words return to her head."Do you mean Mr. Sam is here?" She blurted out before she could stop herself."Yes, he is," The Luna replied.All of a sudden, the clothes which she had been wearing since last night could not seem to keep her warm anymore."Why?" Hazel asked, her voice barely above a whisper."Pardon?" Mrs. Aidan said."Why is he here?" Hazel asked again.The Luna blinked multiple times. At first she had been offended but she realized that Hazel was a stargazer. There might be something behind her questions."Well, the Alpha felt that he would be much more comfortable here with his personal doctors than at the hospital..."Anger shut inside Hazel and it spread, gradually warming up her insides till her entire body was now hot with it.Why could Sam not just leave her alone? She had to do something."We could have loved you to read his palm but he is unconscious from the trauma yesterday. The arrow had pierced a bit of his heart an

Hazel watched as Mr. Aidan's face lit up like Christmas lights. The fool."You mean he would succeed?" He asked.She nodded her head and flashed him a smile. "Yes, he will."'That's if I don't get to him first,' Hazel thought."That indeed is good news," The Alpha said. But there was something else behind those eyes.Then just as suddenly as his face had lit up, it became crestfallen."But would he succeed before she gets to me?" Hazel heard him murmur under his breath and his eyes looked like they were far away.Hazel did not dare interrupt his moment, rather, she turned her face back to Sam.She glared at his helpless body and she let her heart fill up with glee. Her mind was totally lost as it basked in the image of Sam's obliviousness to her presence."Come with me," Alpha Aidan interrupted her moment, causing her to turn around sharply.Aidan did not say another word as he walked out of the door with Hazel in tow.Her mind was in shambles as she tried to think of a reason why the

Like a toilet drainage, all the color on Aidan's face drained away leaving his face as white as bread dough."What?" He asked in a voice Hazel would never fathom hearing from such a powerful person.Aidan's voice was a whisper and it shook with fear.With her eyes still exaggeratedly wide open, she answered, "That's the problem. I don't know!""How can you say that?!" Aidan's voice bellowed angrily, bouncing off the four walls of the office and hitting Hazel so hard she almost jumped out of her chair."I pay you to know these things! And you tell me you don't know? How stupid could you be?" He added.His eyes were burning with anger and Hazel found it hard to look at his face because it felt like his eyes were burning hers.By this time, Hazel's exaggerated open eye had become filled with fear as she trembled under Aidan's gaze and anger.She was starting to think that her plan was a bad idea. If she continued this way, she would end up getting killed out of Aidan's anger."It-it's no

"The bloody bastard!" Hazel muttered under her breath."Did you say anything, ma'am?" Georgia asked."Oh no!" Hazel said with a smile and continued eating."Everyone has been wondering who Edith is and a message has been sent to his household to inquire about the woman. The doctors think she is an integral part of his life," Georgia went on.Hazel waved the subject away. The bastard was still unconscious and she had long since stopped being Edith. She did not care about that anymore.Georgia kept on rambling on but Hazel's mind focused on much better things.She was considering when it would be appropriate for her to do what she came for. Trouble was looming, she had to complete her deal and leave.As much as she wanted to get out of the vicinity as fast as she could because Sam was in it, she also wanted to rest for a while. But one thing stopped her.Being around Aidan's family had accorded her the feeling of belonging she had not felt ever since she got her new life.She had always

Hazel's hands flew involuntarily to her neck and she clutched the crystal pendant in her hand so tight as if it was going to be snatched away from her."Umm..." Hazel started to say as her mind worked so fast to think of an excuse after being caught off guard."... it is just a normal necklace. There is nothing special about it," Hazel said with her eyes on her plate trying to avoid looking at Mrs Aidan and risk her seeing the anxiety in them.The room went silent and Hazel prayed they would find something else to talk about."There is nothing normal about that necklace!" Mrs Aidan said in a cheery voice and Hazel's heart skipped a bit.Where were the angels when one needed them?"I remember, seeing something like that once on a man..." Mrs. Aidan said, now addressing the whole table and not just Hazel.The whole room was silent except for Mrs. Aidan's sweet voice and the noise of silver cutlery hitting porcelain plates in the background as they filled their mouths."He was a human an

The night was a peaceful one for Hazel. She walked into her room and found a huge folder filled with papers on her bed.The folder was labeled, 'Family history' and she immediately knew it was the information that Aidan had told her would be at her disposal.With a hiss, she flung the folder away. It landed with a loud thud on the floor and Hazel did not give a mind to it.She got out of her clothes and climbed into her bed.She drifted off to sleep within moments.These days, sleep came so easily for her.She had never been one to sleep so much but she had used every time she was alone to sleep and this was because she was tired.Her entire being was tired –body, mind, and soul.She woke up the next morning and the rays of the sun shone into her room and the noise coming from her window pulled her out of the subconscious world.The noise was that of two people giggling and struggling. Hazel got up from her bed and walked over to the window.She pushed open the curtain a little and s

"No!" Hazel's screams resonated through the walls of the midwives' workshop. Against their will, the midwives had lain Hazel on the worktable and had tied her limbs down to the table. One of the midwives took a cloth and started to stuff it into Hazel's mouth to muffle her screams. "Leave her mouth free. I want to listen to her screams," Raglan's cold voice echoed in the room, stopping the midwife. "Please Raglan! You can take my life but let this child live! He is innocent! Please!" Hazel pleaded with Raglan. "I should let the bastard child live?" Raglan chuckled. "I am putting an end to the lives of all the bastards in that family. Including the whore that dared bear him a child," Raglan said with such contempt his face contorted with disgust. Tears spilled down Hazel's face. She couldn't breathe. She knew this was likely going to be her end, but she had hoped she could escape. But she refused to give up on her son. Hazel continued to beg, offering her life in exchange for
The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 109: Her Last Life
Days had passed and Hazel was getting better and better in her skills as a princess of death but it wasn't as fast as she would have wanted it.Her baby would soon be out and she knew that the moment that happened, it was going to be the end of her.She worked harder in the small room she had created for herself, hoping to be able to restore her life to earth before the baby came. But all of these were difficult for her, especially since she had to avoid Raglan's mother by all means.Hazel had tried her possible best to steer clear of her. She knew that she hated her and she made sure she never had anything to do with her.But Raglan's mother made it her duty to be in Hazel's business. She found excuses to be around Hazel and to be part of her life and though Hazel tried her best to avoid her, it was not possible.As she finished her training with her instructor that day, Hazel slowly made her way to her room to rest but as she took the final bend, Raglan's mother immediately appeared
The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 108: The Princess of Death
"What?!" Hazel squeaked, her face confused as to what she had just heard.Raglan held her by the shoulders his face lit up with a joy that she never believed could exist in the realm of darkness.He shook her as if to wake her from something."Hazel! We are in love! We now have a child on the way! All that's left is for us to get married!" Raglan said trying to connect some imaginary dots.Hazel knew she could not do this. She had endured the past weeks pretending to like him. Getting married to Raglan was going to the extreme and she was not sure she could survive it.With the same speed with which his face had lit up, the joy on his face dimmed out and a sadness replaced the light."You don't want me?" Raglan asked his voice pricking Hazel with the amount of pain that was in it.Hazel sighed.She knew this was not going to be easy. For her to secure what was hers, it was required of her to make certain sacrifices and this was one of them.With a weak smile that did not even touch he
The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 107: Marrying The Prince of Death
Over the next few days, Hazel and Raglan's relationship blossomed.Raglan was so happy and he made sure everyone knew about him and Hazel –including his mother.Hazel was still trying to wrap her mind around how she became a girlfriend to the prince of death. The person who had taken away the joy from her life.Hazel had not factored a relationship between her and Raglan into her plans. She had envisioned a totally different trajectory for her plan and she was not happy with the way things were going.Raglan made sure she spent half of her day with him. He tried to make her move to his room but Hazel refused.Staying with Raglan meant she would have to have sex with him and that was something she dreaded happening.She however had been forced to be intimate with him.They cuddled in bed together before bedtime, and they kissed quite a lot –although she tried to find ways to avoid kissing him there was only so much she could refuse for her plan to really work.She did everything intend
The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 106: Game of Life
Hazel spent the next twenty minutes thinking and rethinking her plan. 'What if it fails?' she asked herself. She knew that was a useless question to ask herself. She knew exactly what would happen if her plan failed. But there was no way she was going to back down. She placed her hands on her belly, rubbing it. She had to take the risk for the child's sake and his father's. With that in mind, Hazel got up and marched to the bed where Raglan lay lost to the world. He looked much more beautiful in sleep and he looked much less like the evil bastard that he was. Hazel looked at the left side of his chest. She knew he had no heart but she wished he had one so that she would have the satisfaction of impaling his heart just as how he had made her do so to all those Alpha's just for his selfish reason. Raglan was lucky she did not know how to send him to hell, she would have done it there and then. Rather, she got on the bed and started to try and take off his black tunic. It was no
The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 105: The Cup of Wine
She stood before the master of ceremony her entire body weak with fear.The master of ceremony turned back to face the crowd and then he rose both of his hands up into the air and then announced in a low voice, "It is time."As if on cue, the whole room erupted in a terrifying chant.The master of ceremony hurriedly walked away leaving Hazel standing in the middle tears running down her face as she witnessed the ritual happening around her.She could not move as she knew doing so will be fruitless. There was no possible way she was ever going to be able to make it out of the place without being caught moreover she was stuck there in fear.The blood that had been running past her legs started to flow faster.The chants from the demons grew frantic and the symbols on her body started to grow brighter and brighter making her body look like it had been set on fire.Hazel could feel a terrible presence in the room one which was more terrible than all the demons put together. This was follo
The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 104: The Banquet's Sacrifice
"When you said the entire realm would be present did you mean it?" Hazel asked Raglan as soon as Persia landed in front of the four walls.Raglan turned and looked at her dropping the reins. He could see fear spread all over her face."No, I didn't mean it literally," Raglan said to her. "Those who will be in attendance at the banquet are only royalty and those who matter. The rest will be celebrating it at other places."Hazel nodded, her anxiety was a tad bit relieved by his explanation."Shall we?" Raglan asked and he held out his free hand.Hazel nodded then took her hands off the chariot where she had been holding tightly for her dear life.Her legs were still wobbly from her experience but she willed herself to stand steady.The ride had been a bumpy one and many times, Hazel's stomach threatened to hurl out the contents of her stomach but she fought to keep it down.She clasped her hands once more in front of her and Raglan took ahold of her elbow guiding her down the chariot.
The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 103: The Banquet
"You look so beautiful," Raglan said looking at her with eyes that were full of admiration."Thank you," Hazel said with a warm smile."So do you," She added and her comments were more than just mere flattery. Raglan looked really handsome even though he was dressed in intimidating attire. He had swapped his usual cloak for a tunic, black as night. Underneath the tunic, he wore what looked like chain mail armor, and in his left hand was a scepter that was shaped like a scythe, one very similar to the grim reaper's.There was something in Raglan's eyes as she looked at him. It was a look she had seen before but not on Raglan and it was weird that he had that look in his eyes as he looked at her.Her heart made a little flutter and she had to caution herself to keep her cheeks from reddening. She had to stay focused. The life of her child depended on it.Raglan also tried his best not to look into her eyes. That was very strange as he had never for once been timid before her or anyone
The Luna's Trial Mission Chapter 102: Prayers of The Heart
Hazel had lost track of time as she lay on the bed while her body was tattooed with a bunch of symbols she could not decipher.She had spent the time drifting in and out of sleep and when she woke up the last time, she was shocked to see that they had only even covered the front her neck to chest area, and her arms.It was now she understood the maid's issue about time.She wondered why just drawing figures will take so much time.She decided to glance down at what they were doing so she tilted her head down.When she did, she felt a sense of foreboding come over her.Something in her grew cold as a strong feeling of fear seized herAlthough she could not decipher the symbols drawn on her body, she knew that they were something extremely evil."What are these?" Hazel asked her voice more of a whisper."These are the truths of ancient times," The maid said, her voice very quiet as if in reverence to the symbols.Hazel did not know what she said but she did not ask further.She moved a
