~ Hazel’s POV

In a huff, I lumbered out of bed and stomped over to the chair. My curiosity gnawed at me wondering why on earth did Louis need to see me so urgently. Grumbling under my breath, I told the maid to show him in. A few minutes later, Louis was ushered into the room. I gestured towards a seat opposite me, trying to appear composed. Turning back to the maid, I barked an order to fetch drinks for both of us.

The maid scurried out, leaving me alone with Louis. My glare could’ve curdled milk. “Alright, Louis,” I growled, “what’s the big emergency? You practically woke me up!”

Louis looked genuinely apologetic. He gave a small bow. “I wouldn't have bothered you during your rest unless it was serious, Your Majesty. There’s a young pup, from the Shadow Moon pack that was found dead near our border.”

“And it seemed like the Alpha of the Shadow moon pack won’t take it easy with us,” he added and I knew he was referring to Dolph and then I became calm and listened attentively to him.

    ~ Rayel’s POVBoris woke me up at the crack of dawn. I grumbled as I sat up in bed, totally confused. "Boris, what are you doing in my room? It's way too early!" He looked super sorry. "I'm so sorry to wake you up like this, but it's really important. I had to see you right away." Groaning, I swung my legs off the bed. "Alright, alright. Give me a few minutes to splash some water on my face and brush my teeth. Then you can tell me what's so urgent."As soon as I reached the bathroom, the world decided to tilt on its axis. Everything started spinning like a carnival ride gone wrong. To make matters worse, my stomach decided to throw a full-on tantrum again. It felt exactly the same as that awful time before, only this time the pain seemed to crank up to eleven. I let out a yelp as the ache doubled me over. My legs, which moments ago were perfectly happy holding me up, decided to go on strike. With a clumsy wobble and a surprised squeak, I landed flat on the cold bathroom floor with a

    ~ Hazel’s POVI scurried out of the palace like a shadow, changing my clothes for something less recognizable to Dolph in our secret spot. Reaching the fancy doorway, I rapped my knuckles nervously. The door creaked open, revealing Dolph.But he wasn't dressed. Surprise flooded my face, hot and prickly. Before I could even stammer a question, he swept me into a hug. His arms were like iron bands, and his whispered words tickled my ear, "I can't believe you're here. I've missed you so much."I tried pulling away from his embrace but he was too strong for me. "Dolph, we need to talk, now!" My voice came out shaky, but the urgency couldn't be hidden. Even trapped in his hug, I glared up at him.His smile faltered for a second, but then he squeezed me tighter. "Hey, easy there, Hazel. Relax. You snuck out to see me, didn't you? Must mean you missed me a little, huh?""Dolph, this isn't funny!" I snapped. He chuckled,"Come on, lighten up. We can talk later. Right now," he leaned in close

    ~ Hazel’s POVSneaking back into the palace wasn't a problem at all. I knew the halls like the back of my hand and it wasn’t my first time sneaking out of the palace. But then bam, my luck almost ran out. Just as I thought I was in the clear, I saw a bunch of maids chilling outside their room, yapping away like nobody's business and I almost bumped right into them. Crashing back into my room, I practically melted onto the bed. Relief washed over me like a giant wave. My mind, though, was still buzzing with every second I spent with Alpha Dolph. All I could do was root for him to win this war against Rayel. Being apart from him felt like forever. He was the one who made my heart do flips, and I would totally climb a mountain or help out in any way I could to see him win.I couldn't just lie in bed. Curiosity gnawed at me. Was Rayel secretly training his troops for battle? I tiptoed out and peeked around the training grounds, but the place was deserted. "Huh," I thought, "maybe he j

Even if I begged them to look the other way for a few minutes, I knew it would be a fruitless effort. These guards were as loyal as guard dogs, and the thought of them watching my every move filled me with a suffocating sense of claustrophobia.Feeling trapped and more restless than ever, I retreated back into the confines of my room. Sleep was out of the question, and with Hazel's watchful

I just needed some fresh air and a moment to think. “A plan.” An escape plan, one that would get me out of this mess and answer the questions swirling in my mind.The moon, usually a source of comfort, now seemed to mock me with its cold, indifferent glow. Tears welled up in my eyes, spilling over and tracing a warm path down my cheeks. I missed my mom. Achingly, terribly missed her.The weight of my situation, the confinement, all felt so overwhelming. I pictured my mom's face, her warm smile, and a sob escaped my lips. How was she coping without you? Was she worried sick? The thought of her pain tore at my heart.Hazel taking my phone felt like the final straw. It was a constant reminder of my isolation, a severed connection to the life I once knew. Being trapped in the palace, away from my mom, away from any sense of normalcy, amplified my longing for her.Lost in a wave of grief for my mom, I barely registered the approaching fi

I had instructed him to gather all the soldiers at the training ground and call an emergency meeting with the council members. The weight of the situation pressed down on me. Boris acknowledged my commands with a sharp nod and hurried out of the room. The silence that followed felt heavy with anticipation. A wave of nausea washed over me as I slumped back in my chair. The dull ache in my stomach intensified, a reminder of my declining health. Initially, Dolph wasn’t a match for me even though he was also a powerful Alpha but I was so concerned about my health. Concern gnawed at me, a nagging voice urging me to prioritize your health. Ignoring the protests of my body wasn't an option, not with war on the horizon. I reached for the vial of medication again, downing a few more pills, I closed my eyes, desperately hoping for some rest to clear my head and steady my body.Just as I drifted off, the do

The training ground erupted with renewed activity, the soldiers pushing themselves harder, their movements becoming more precise, their attacks more coordinated.Next, I turned your attention to weaponry. "Open the armory," I commanded another soldier. "We need all available firearms and ammunition brought out and distributed."The clank of metal echoed through the training ground as soldiers scurried to obey. The sight of weapons being distributed, the weight of them settling into soldiers' hands, served as a reminder of the seriousness of the situation.Finally, I unfurled a large map before my soldiers, its surface depicting the territory surrounding Dolph's pack. With a pointer in hand, I began outlining my attack strategy again."Here," I declared, tapping a specific lo

However, the suspicion that had been brewing since I saw her secretive behavior the night before wouldn't be easily dismissed. This was too good of an opportunity to pass up, a chance to gain some leverage."I just saw you…" I started, placing the basket of snacks I was carrying onto the table with a soft thud. "Yesterday night. You were sneaking back to your quarters after…well, after what?" I tried to sound as if I was accusing her.The look on Hazel's face went from annoyed to full-on icy. "How dare you?" she said again, but this time her voice was cold and dangerous. There was a definite chill in the air."Oh," she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm, "that means my guards aren't doing their jobs properly, does it?" Her glare could have curdled milk.My stomach lurched. Big mistake, confronting her like this. I could

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.

    ~ 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.

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."

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
