Alpha's Wolf Less Mate

~~HAZEL ~~My stay in the palace was hell to me, I'm indeed suffering just like the king promised me.After spending two days in the dungeon without food or water, I turned out to be a slave for everyone.They molest me a lot and make me pass through pains, but then, I'm glad the princess was recovering from the shot, at least I'll leave very soon.It's been over two weeks since I began staying in the palace, and the only thing in mind is my birthday.I'll be turning eighteen tomorrow, and I'll shift for the first time.But it hurts me that I'll be celebrating it in pain, and not in happiness like the others."Hazel, the king sent for you in his room." One of the maids referred to me.I've been the one cleaning Alpha Onyx's room since I became a slave. He body shames me, face shames me and mocks me even in the presence of people.I don't need to be told that he hates everything about me, and I'm used to it already.Just like the maid said, I moved to his doorpost and knocked on the do

~~ HAZEL ~~Apart from hunting, there's no other means to feed, so I had to go with my brother and we looked for a way to sneak into the packs so we could sell the animals we hunt.When we were done locating the roads, we resumed hunting again since we were done with our little hut.That day seemed so sweet to hunt, maybe because I still have my birthday in mind, though two days have already elapsed. "Let's celebrate your birthday with the squirrel, it's not too late." My brother said to me and I smiled."But we have to go sell these ones first before the celebration, isn't that better?"He shrugged his shoulders. "It's better, when we sell them, we will buy some food stuff from the pack market before sneaking out again." He added.We left together to the nearest pack near the wood and sneaked into it. We didn't bother to ask adults on the way to the palace, rather we asked the children playing around.But before we could reach the palace, we already sold all the meat and only decide

~~ HAZEL ~~I was dragged to the backyard and tied to the tree over there. The ropes were hurting my skin and it began bleeding."Fifteen strokes of cane." One of the guards muttered and pulled out the cane at his side."Why not let me go please? I did nothing, he's cheating on me." I referred to the guard who was about to use his cane on me.He stared at me for a while and sighed. "I'm sorry, it's an order given to me by the king… and I might lose this job if I don't obey him." He replied politely.I could sense that what he's about to do isn't from the depth of his heart, but he had to because there's no other option left for him.He stared at his cane and moved closer to me, then gave me the first slash on my arm.I groaned in pain as he gave me the second and third slash. Taking a look at my arm, it was bleeding profusely.The cane is so sharp that it pierces into one's skin.He was about to give me the third slash when someone held his arm upwards.I adjusted my head with the tea

HAZEL'S POV; As soon as I shut the door leading to Onyx's room, I lean against thr wall by me and heave a sigh of relief. I was scared for a moment, thinking he was going to do something terrible like throwing me into the dungeon. But he did nothing. He only smacked me across the cheek and I am already quite used to being slapped by him. I move away from the wall and start walking down the corridor. I pass by Cherry's room. It's locked. I stop walking. I wish I could go into her room and check if she's getting better. Everyday I pass by her room, I feel really guilty and I wish I wasn't there in the woods, hunting, when they arrived. That would have saved me all of this drama. She's been sick for weeks and everyday, I suffer for that one mistake I made. Sighing, I move to her door and raise my hand to the handle but I stop myself when I hear footsteps coming behind me. Turning, I realize it's Onyx and he's glaring at me. "What are you doing there?!" I mo

HAZEL'S POV; "You can run away, Hazel. Leave this pack, find somewhere to live with your brother. You don't have to be with a man who treats you like crap and only keeps you because you are of use to him," "I was forced to marry him, Theresa. You won't understand." I bow my head in shame. I've not cried since today but I am doing that right now. Tears begin to slip down my eyes and no matter how I try to hold back, it's basically useless. Theresa takes a seat directly beside me and wraps a comforting arm around me. "I'm sorry, Hazel. It's just the truth. I hate that a good person like you had to go through this. It's not fair. You don't deserve it and yet, you keep being treated like a piece of crap. You're such a wonderful person and you deserve more. And I am also sorry that you can not leave no matter how you try to. Must be testing." I nod and take the handkerchief she hands over to me. I wipe my tears before blowing my nose. "Thank you, Theresa. You've been wond
