HAZEL

The guards do not bother to respond, their faces stony and impassive as they focus on the road ahead. I feel a sinking sensation in the pit of my stomach, a sense of dread creeping over me like a suffocating fog.

“Please, you have to tell me what's going on!” I plead, desperation seeping into my voice. “I need to know.”

Still, the guards remain silent, their silence like a death sentence hanging heavy in the air. I can feel the panic rising within me, threatening to consume me whole. Something is wrong somewhere.

Suddenly, the carriage lurches to a halt, throwing me forward against the hard wooden seat with a sharp cry of pain. Before I can even gather my wits, the door is wrenched open and two masked figures loom in the doorway, their faces masked by shadows.

“Come with us!” One of them growls, reaching out to grab me roughly by the arm.

I try to pull away, to fight back, but they're too strong, too determined. With a yank, they drag me out of the carriage and onto the

    HAZELThe morning sun streams through the windows, casting a warm glow over the breakfast table where Ethan, Arnold, and I are sitting to it. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the scent of pancakes and bacon, filling the air with a comforting sense of home, and the steaming hot pieces of bread just sit in the centre of the table with different flavors to choose from. I’ve always loved meal times until now. I pick at my food, my appetite dulled by the weight of the nightmare that still haunts in the back of my mind. Ethan and Arnold have exchanged concerned glances multiple times, and I have noticed that their brows are now furrowed with worry as they watch me push my food around my plate. “Are you alright, Hazel?” Ethan asks, his voice soft with concern. “You seem a little out of it this morning.” I force a smile, trying to shake off the lingering effects of the nightmare from the day before yesterday that still clings to me like a stubborn shadow. “I'm fine, rea

    HAZEL I wake up feeling groggy, my head pounding and my body burning with fever. I try to sit up, but dizziness washes over me, and I flop back onto the bed with a groan. Something's not right. I feel hot, too hot, and my thoughts are all jumbled up, like pieces of a puzzle scattered on the floor. “Your majesty, why haven't you come out for breakfast? Do you want us to bring it to you?” I hear a maid's voice echoing from outside the door. I try to respond, but my voice comes out as a croak. Panic grips me as I realize I can't move properly, can't even speak properly. “Something's wrong.” The maid says, her voice laced with concern. “We need to check on her.” The door swings open, and the maids rush in, their faces pale with worry. They hover around my bed, murmuring to each other in hushed tones. “My goodness, she is burning up!” One of them says, pressing a cool cloth to my forehead. I try to protest, but my words are lost in the fog of fever that clouds my mind. I can’t

If anything, the sickness seems to be getting worse with each passing moment. “Good morning, Hazel.” Ethan's voice breaks through the haze of pain as he enters the room, his face etched with concern. I manage a weak smile, trying to push aside the overwhelming fatigue that weighs me down. “Morning, Ethan.” I reply, my voice barely above a whisper. “Any news?” He shakes his head, his expression grim. “I'm afraid not.” He says, his voice heavy with worry.

I don't know what else to do."I feel a surge of frustration coursing through me, the helplessness of my situation weighing heavily on my shoulders."I just want to feel better," I whisper, tears pricking at the corners of my eyes.

It's been weeks since she fell ill, and despite our best efforts, her sickness only seems to be worsening. I can see the worry etched on Ethan's face, mirroring my own concerns. “Ethan, we need to figure out what's going on with Hazel.” I say, my voice tinged with urgency as I approach him in the dimly lit room. He looks up at me, exhaustion evident in his eyes. “I know, Arnold. But we've tried everything. Nothing seems to be working.” “I understand, but we can't afford to give up now.” I reply, my tone firm. “We need answers, and we need them fast.” Ethan nods, his expression grave. “You're right. We need to consult with our pack doctor. Maybe he can shed some light on what's happening to Hazel.” I nod in agreement, feeling a glimmer of hope amidst the despair. “Let's do it. We'll find out why Hazel is suddenly sick and why she

    ETHANI’m worried about Hazel. She’s been sick for so long, and nothing we do seems to help. Arnold and I, we've tried everything, but her condition just keeps getting worse. I can see the worry in Arnold's eyes, just like how I feel it in my own heart. “Arnold, what do we do?” I ask him, feeling the weight of desperation in my voice. “We can’t keep going like this, Ethan.” Arnold replies, his voice filled with concern. “We need to find help, and fast.” “But who can we turn to?” I ask, feeling lost.Arnold hesitates for a moment before speaking again. “There’s a witch in the neighboring village. Maybe she can help us.” I nod, grateful for Arnold’s suggestion. “Let’s go see her.” We make our way to the neighboring village, the worry for Hazel weighing heavy on our hearts. When we finally arrive at the witch’s cottage, I knock on the door anxiously, hoping she can offer us some kind of solution. The door creaks open, revealing an old woman with wise eyes and a kind smile

    ARNOLDThe tension in the room is palpable as Ethan paces back and forth, his brow furrowed with worry. Hazel's condition hasn't improved, and we're running out of options. With each passing moment, the weight of uncertainty grows heavier on our shoulders. “We need to do something.” Ethan mutters, his voice strained with desperation. “We can't just sit here and wait for her to get worse.” “I know, Ethan!” I reply, my own voice tinged with frustration. “But what else can we do? We've tried everything.” Just then, a thought crosses my mind. The witch. She might have answers that we haven't thought of yet. Without hesitation, I reach for the phone and dial her number, my heart pounding in anticipation. And we sent for her already regardless. “Hello?” Her voice crackles through the receiver. “It's King Arnold.” I say quickly, my words tumbling out in a rush. “We need your help. Hazel's condition is worsening, and we don't know what to do.” There's a brief pause on the other

    HAZELThe decision weighs heavily on my heart as I stand before the cell where my former taskmaster is held, shackled, and guarded. His eyes widen in fear as I approach, and his voice trembles with desperation when he speaks."No, please!" he pleads, his voice cracking. "I didn't mean for this to happen!"I meet his gaze firmly with my hands clenched into fists at my sides. "You poisoned my children," I say through gritted teeth. Each word I say is laced with fury and pain. "You will help us save them. That’s the final part of the ritual required for them to heal completely."The taskmaster recoils, and his face is pale with terror. "I… I don't know how," he stammers."You know more than you're willing to admit," I retort. My voice is low and dangerous. "And if you don't cooperate, I will make you regret every moment you spent plotting against us."With a wave of my hand, the guards unlock the cell and drag him out into the harsh light of day. His protests fall on deaf ears as I lead

The twins are pulled away for last-minute meetings and greetings, leaving me a moment to breathe.As I stand on the balcony overlooking the courtyard, I watch as the people of our kingdom gather. Children chase each other through the grass, elders sit in quiet conversation, and warriors exchange nods of respect. This is our family, our home.A hand on my shoulder brings me back to the present. It's Arnold. There’s a soft expression on his face."Are you ready for this, Hazel?" he asks quietly as his gaze searches mine.I meet his eyes with a smile as I feel the weight of responsibility but also the strength of our bond.

Meanwhile, I’m consulted on matters that require my approval, from the design of my coronation dress to the arrangements for the ceremony itself.One afternoon, as I nurse Zena and Kamila, I review sketches and fabric samples spread out on the table before me. "This one," I say, pointing to a sketch of a dress adorned with intricate embroidery. "I think it’s perfect."Arnold leans over my shoulder as he studies the design with a thoughtful expression. "It’s beautiful," he agrees softly. "Just like you."Ethan nods in approval too, and I can see that his eyes are

    HAZELThe sun hangs low in the sky, and it casts a glow over the serene water of the lake on the outskirts of the pack. Ethan, Arnold, and I spread out a blanket under the shade of a towering oak tree, and the gentle breeze brings the scent of wildflowers and pine to us."This is perfect," Ethan says with a contented sigh, as he settles down beside me. "This is just what we needed. A break from everything."Arnold nods in agreement as his eyes look over the peaceful scenery. "It’s been too long since we’ve had a moment like this."I smile as I feel a sense of peace settle over me too. "I couldn’t agree more."We unpack the picnic basket. It’s a simple but rich spread of assorted sandwiches, fruits, a pitcher of lemonade, and a jug of cool water. Ethan pours us each a glass of lemonade. It’s moments like these, where we can simply be together, that remind me of everything we’ve fought for and everything we have to look forward to.As we eat, laughter fills the air, mingling with the di

It will be a modest ceremony because of our limited resources, but its significance cannot be overemphasized. This coronation represents a new beginning for our kingdom."Hazel, these are flowers that were requested for. What do you think?" one of the maids, Elara, calls out to me. I join her, and together, we arrange the wildflowers into simple yet elegant bouquets.
