~ Hazel’s POV

My blood was practically boiling. I ripped open Rayel's room door, expecting to find him lounging about, only to be met with an empty space. Frustration clawed at my throat. "Where's the Alpha?" I barked at the guard stationed outside, his face stoic as ever.

"He left with Beta Boris, Your Highness," the guard replied, his tone as flat as a board.

That did it. Left with Boris? After I specifically requested to see him at the dining hall the previous night? It felt like a slap in the face. Stomping back to my room, I slammed the door with a bang that rattled the pictures on the wall. "Don't let anyone bother me!" I yelled at my maids, who flinched at my outburst. Alone at last, I flung myself onto the bed and burrowed under the duvet, the anger simmering in my gut.

How could he do this?

There I was, trying to play matchmaker, set him up with Daciana, hoping they would click, and he went off with Boris instead.

Was I some kind of fool that he could play anyhow he wanted

    ~ Hazel’s POV Before Rayel could react, I locked my lips against his and started kissing him. The kiss was slow at first but when he started reciprocating the kisses, the kiss became more intense and the room was filled with my moans. He took charge and I wanted more of him. He placed his arm around me and I felt the rush of helplessness, the sinking yielding, the surging tide of warmth that left my limp. He pulled away from me, stared at me for a while before bending back my head across his arm and kissed me, softly at first, and then with a swift gradation of intensity that made me cling to him as the only solid thing in a dizzy swaying world. His insistent mouth was parting my lips, sending wild tremors along my nerves, evoking from my sensations. And before a swimming giddiness spun me round and round, I knew that I was kissing him back again. I lifted myself up on my toes, and his face came down at the same time. His lips were soft, softer than before, but there was a hard des

    ~ Rayel’s POVI barked at Boris to leave the pack's doctor out of it. My whole body still felt like it got hit by a truck, but then he tried to calm me down explaining that calling the doctor was the smartest move. Apparently, I wasn't just sore anymore, I was getting worse.“I said I don’t have to see a doctor, just get me some painkillers or something, I'll be okay,” I managed to say."Alright, Your Majesty," he said with a hint of worry in his voice. As he turned to get me the pain relievers, I forced out another request. "Actually, forget the room entirely. Take me to the grand hall. There is no way I'm staying here stewing in this pain and waiting for Crazy Hazel to waltz back in. Knowing her, she will be like a fly buzzing around my head until she gets what she wants. And let me tell you, Boris, I am in no mood for that kind of a fight right now,”He acknowledged my message and groaned, I threw on some fresh clothes. With Boris steadying me, we shuffled out of the room and towa

    ~ Elara’s POVRufus and I chatted for a while, and I was happy I could lift his spirits. Then, out of the blue, he surprised me with an invitation. He asked if I wanted to join him on a trip to the city the next day. I was thrilled. I was getting stir crazy at his place, and it felt like ages since I had been out and about in the bustling city."Absolutely, I would come with you" I beamed, my smile practically splitting my face in two. Rufus's chuckle at my reaction warmed me even more. "Good one," he said, "Although, it is getting a bit nippy out here. Maybe we should head back inside?"I couldn't agree more. Nodding eagerly, I let Rufus help me up. Back inside the cozy cabin, I drifted towards the bed while Rufus settled onto the couch. Excitement bubbled in my chest. This trip to the city would be my first adventure outside the forest since arriving at Rufus's place. But a flicker of nervousness snaked its way in too. The thought of bumping into Rayel put a bit of a damper on my

    ~ Elara’s POVI gripped the edge of the car seat, my knuckles white. As the cab weaved through the city streets, a knot of anxiety tightened in my stomach. Every neon sign, every flicker of movement in the throngs of people, felt like a potential glimpse of Rayel. To me, the city which was once a place of vibrant energy, felt like a kaleidoscope of fear.Rufus, probably sensing me distress, reached for my hand, his touch warm and reassuring. "Elara," he said gently, his voice a steady midst of my worry. "You're safe with me. Rayel wouldn't dare show his face here, not even his guards,”His words were like a soothing balm. I squeezed his hand back, a flicker of hope rekindling in my chest. Slowly, I allowed my gaze to drift out the window. And then the city began to reveal its magic again.Towering buildings, bathed in the soft glow of the sun, scraped the sky. Streets teemed with life, a balance of honking cabs, chattering pedestrians, and the rhythmic beat of music spilling from ope

    ~ Elara’s POVMy jaw practically hit the floor when Rufus asked his question. "Ready to give me the response to my proposal, Elara?" "Proposal?" I stammered, my mind scrambling. The vibrant colors of the restaurant seemed to fade, replaced by a dizzying blur. Before I could even form a coherent response, he surprised me again."Hey, no pressure," he said quickly, his smile strained at the edges. "If you need to think about it, that's totally fine. No rush at all,”The truth was, I did have a response, a tangled mess of emotions churning in my stomach. But the words wouldn't come. How do you tell someone you care about them deeply, but not in the way they want? Guilt gnawed at me, a heavy weight settling in my chest. The playful banter that flowed so easily all during our meal time felt awkward at that moment, a forced lightness to a heavy situation.As if sensing my discomfort, Rufus started telling jokes, one after another. They weren't knee-slappers, but they were his way of t

Stealing a glance at the darkening sky, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind."Hey, remember you mentioned a hidden park earlier? I'd love to see it," I said, my voice a touch too eager.Rufus blinked, seemingly surprised by my sudden change of subject. "The park, yeah," he said, a thoughtful frown creasing his forehead. "Are you sure you're up for it? We've been on our feet all day, and with…your condition, you might be tired,”"Don't worry about me, Rufus," I said, trying to sound chipper. "Remember when you were always nagging me to get some exercise? Well, consider this payback,” I winked playfully. "Besides," I added, placing a hand on my still-flat stomach, "four months pregnant means I need to stay active, right?"Rufus wasn't convinced. He furrowed his brow, his gaze lingering on my face with a mixture of concern and protective

    ~ ELARA’s POVThe day's excitement seemed to finally catch up to me. Rufus and I left the storytelling gathering and found a chair to sit on. I leaned back on the chair, letting out a content sigh, but Rufus noticed I wasn’t quite myself. A gentle shiver ran through me, and he saw a slight frown crease my forehead as I gazed upwards.Without a word, he reached over and draped his coat around my shoulders. The warmth instantly enveloped me, and I turned to him with a grateful smile. "Thanks, Rufus," I said, my voice a little softer than usual due to the cold.Rufus simply returned a small smile. "No problem," he said. A comfortable silence settled between you for a moment. I snuggled deeper into the coat, the warmth chasing away the last bit of chill."That was a really fun tour," I finally said, breaking the quiet. "Yeah, it was pretty cool," Rufus agreed. "Though, next time maybe we'll pick a tour that doesn't involve so much walking." He chuckled, nudging me playfully with his sh

His hopeful expression faltered, replaced by a flicker of sadness in his eyes."Oh," he mumbled, the word barely a whisper. I could see the disappointment cloud his features, and my heart ached for him. I reached out and placed a hand on his arm in a comforting gesture."Rufus, listen to me," I said softly. "You're an incredible person. You're kind, strong, and incredibly talented. Being here with you has been amazing, and I truly value our friendship."He gave a small nod, but his gaze remained downcast.But," I continued, taking a deep breath, "feelings can't be forced. And as much as I care about you, it's not romantic love. I like you a lot, but it's more like a really good friend kind of like."I knew my words might sting, but honesty was the only way forward."Does that make sense?" I asked gently.Rufus remain

Every ounce of self-preservation melted away, replaced by an urge to protect her.The fragmented images Elara had sent were enough. Mountains, a cave entrance. It wasn't much, but it was all I had. Barking orders to Boris, I rallied my most trusted warriors. We rode with a desperate urgency, the rising sun painting the sky a bloody red that mirrored the turmoil within me.Hours bled into one another as we traversed treacherous terrain.

Rufus remained by my side, my keen senses constantly on alert. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the trees thinned, revealing a desolate mountain range.A shiver ran down my spine as I spotted a dark, gaping maw nestled at the base of the highest peak. It couldn't be. The cave. The one from my connection with my father.Fear warred with desperation. Taking a deep breath, I linked with my father once more. This time, raw, agonizing screams reached me.“ My father, It was him,” I told Rufus.Heart pounding a frantic tattoo against my ribs, I scrambled down the rocky slope, Rufus hot on my heels. The stench of damp earth and something metallic filled the air as we reached the cave entrance.

    ~ Rayel’s POV"What?!" The scream ripped from my throat, a guttural roar of fury. Ignoring the guards and the stunned look on Hazel's face, I lunged at Dolph. He may have been chained, but that wouldn't stop me. My fist connected with his jaw again, a satisfying blow that carried the weight of my wrath."How dare you!" My voice was a low growl, laced with a dangerous edge. "They're not pawns in your twisted games! You lay a single finger on them, and you'll regret the day you were born!""Rayel!" Hazel cried, her voice thick with hurt and betrayal. Clearly, the sight of me attacking her lover had shaken her.But before I could even process her reaction, she did something that sent a fresh wave of shock through me. Hazel, the woman I thought I knew, knelt beside the now-wincing Dolph and began to help him up. Her touch, gentle and concerned, was a stark contrast to the coldness she had shown me earlier. "Is Elara still alive?" Her voice, laced with a desperate urgency, was directed at

The anger might still simmer beneath the surface, but it was overshadowed by a fierce longing for Elara and my son. I wouldn't give up. I would find Elara and my son, no matter what it took.Just then, the door creaked open. It was Boris. Relief washed over me, maybe he had news about the retrieval team."Your Majesty," he announced, his voice a welcome sound in the tense silence. "I've done as you ordered. The guards are heading towards Alpha Dolph’s pack as we speak."I nodded curtly, a flicker of appreciation for his swiftness. But before Boris could launch into whatever he was about to say, I cut him off. Hazel's name was a raw nerve, and I couldn't bear to hear it right now. "Don't mention her," I rasped, my voice tight. "Just find Elara's stepfather. I need to talk to him."Boris's brow furrowed in confusion. "Elara's stepfather? What about him?" It was clear he didn't understand my plan, but

    ~ Rayel’s POVMy heart shattered into a million pieces. Years of love, devotion, poured down the drain. The woman I thought I knew, the woman I had built a future with was a stranger. The truth, a bitter pill coated in sugar, sat heavy in my gut."You... love someone else and have never loved me?" My voice barely rose above a whisper, the words scraping against my raw throat.Hazel scoffed, a sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Loved? Please, Rayel. It was never love. It was convenient. A way to pass the time." The coldness in her voice sent a fresh wave of nausea crashing over me."And now you want out?" I managed, the question laced with a desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, this was all a twisted joke.Hazel's smile returned, but this time it was devoid of warmth, a predatory glint flashing in her eyes. "Exactly. And wouldn't it be a grand gesture of your love to let me go quietly? A final act of selflessness before I return to the arms of someone who actually deserves me."

    ~ Rayel’s POV I was speechless, staring at Hazel. She wasn't making things easier. Hazel got up and walked closer to me, clearly frustrated."You're being such a jerk, Rayel! Why are you acting so mad? I told you I was pregnant, and you believed it even though you knew I can't have kids. Why are you getting mad at me now?” Hazel demanded, her voice laced with anger.Frustration bubbled over. "Seriously, Hazel? You can't even apologize?" I exclaimed.Hazel scoffed. "Why would I? I bent over backwards for you, remember? You should be thanking me, not throwing a tantrum."Her lack of regret made my blood boil. "That's unbelievable, Hazel! You don't get to play innocent here. Taking responsibility is grown-up stuff, and you're failing miserably! I hate it when people don’t take responsibility for their actions!” I said. The air hung heavy with accusation after Hazel's scoff. "Take responsibility for my actions!" she spat, her words dripping with misplaced blame. I managed a smile, thin

As soon as she saw me, her eyes widened and she immediately dropped to her knees."Who are you?!" I demanded, my voice firm but not angry.Her voice trembled as she stammered, "Y-Your Majesty... I'm..." Sweat beaded on her forehead despite the cool air.She took a shaky breath, finally calming down a bit. "My name is Ares," she revealed in a small voice."Ares," I repeated, trying to place the name. It didn't ring a bell. My gaze swept across the room again, taking in the changes. Gone was the bare and dusty space I remembered. Now, comfortable furniture filled the space, along with a surprising amount of good food stocked in a nearby cupboard. My eyebrows furrowed. "And why are you here, Ares?!”My tone was accusatory and it was clear I wanted answers.“Ares! Who exactly are you and what are you doing here?!” I asked again.“Luna Hazel… can explain… that,” she stammered.“Wh

    ~ Rayel’s POV A memory surfaced. My father had once mentioned a room that belonged to his grandfather. They hadn't gotten along, and after my grandfather's passing, my father had ordered the room sealed and untouched. This, I realized, was the very same room.The room's pristine condition was a stark contrast to the dust and neglect I had expected. Curiosity gnawed at me. I crept closer, reaching out to push on the doorknob. It wouldn't budge, it was locked. But from the inside!Confused, I rapped on the door. "Hello? Is anyone there?"A woman's voice, laced with surprise, echoed back. "Who is it? Are you Luna Hazel?"I heard her footsteps approaching the door, but it remained firmly shut. When I didn't answer, the footsteps stopped.Something wasn't right. I pushed against the door with all my strength. It creaked open a sliver, revealing a glimpse of a cluttered room and... a woman.The sight that greeted me was a shock. A heavily pregnant woman stood there, her eyes wide with alar

It was almost comical, the way he would get so engrossed in eating he'd fall asleep right after, as if sensing the importance of the task at hand.A surge of fierce love washed over me. I would find my father. Not just for myself, but for Dolph, to create a safe and secure future for both of us.
