CHAPTER 130 ONYX'S POV; I drove into the palace, shaking with anger. Seeing Hazel had released something in me. All the pent up anger and hatred had come flowing out of my whole being and I didn't want to see her close to me at all. Once I parked my car, I pushed the door open and shut it with a thud. I walked straight into the palace. The Priest stood in the middle of the great room. A lady dressed in a cloak stood behind him, her head bowed low. I stopped before him. "It's a surprise to see you here after such a long time. I hope you have come with great news concerning the recovery of my parents?" He looked at me with obvious displeasure and took a step towards him. "That is not why I have come here, Alpha Onyx," "Is something wrong?" "Terribly. And for the fact that you have been aware and hiding it. It's terrible," . "What are you talking about?" "Have you forgotten? It's so funny how you tend to forget things because you force yourself t
CHAPTER 131 HAZEL'S POV; I spent the next few minutes staring down at my hands. I felt stronger than ever. Smiling, I let my claws jut out before letting it go back in. Squealing in delight, I fell back flat on the bed and smiled. A knock sounded on the door. I sat up immediately and stood to my feet. Twisting the knob, the door opened. Onyx stood there. I was taken aback but I let him in anyway. He looked really dull and like he needed a hug but I stepped back and maintained my position, my hand behind my back. "You're well, aren't you?" He asked when he stopped in the middle of the room and looked around. "Yes, I am," I replied with a nod. He said nothing for the next few moments. He busied himself with checking the window to be sure the locks were intact. I stood there, watching him with slight surprise. Why was he doing all these? "What's going on?" I finally asked. He turned to look at me. "I want to be sure the locks are intact
CHAPTER 132 ONYX'S POV; There was a lot I had to do. But first, I needed to be alone. After welcoming my parents and speaking to Cherry, I turned and walked back into my study. Theresa followed behind me. I knew she had something to tell me. Once I was in the confines of my study, I turned to look at her. "You've got something to tell me?" Theresa nodded and went ahead to pull out a seat. She took a seat and stared at me. "I'd rather you took your seat," Nodding, I pulled out a seat. "I hope you're not here to tell me something that'll make me worry? I think I've had enough drama for today," "It's not a lot that I want to say, Onyx. I just want to tell you that I am really happy you're coming to terms with everything changing," I leaned back against my chair and stroked my chin. "Theresa, I am really overwhelmed. All these time, I have been pushing the people that care about me away. I feel so terrible right now to be very honest. It feels like a
CHAPTER 133 HAZEL'S POV; "Don't you look breathtaking tonight, honey?" Queen Arya squealed as I took the steps down. The room was filled with guests and everyone seemed to be merry. I was taken back to this morning and how the execution bad been carried out. The people had gathered around the front of the palace, all waiting as the offenders stood in a line. Selah and her parents were banished and the maid who had helped in executing the poisoning had been executed and I thought that was quite unfair. I'd have loved to see Selah hanging off a rope as she gagged for the last of her breath. But banishing them was worse than executing them. Whenever anyone was banished, it was taken to the Lycan Confederate and they would be stamped unwanted by any Packs around and always hunted down by wolf hunters so I understood why Onyx had let them live to suffer. The guard who had also agreed to the fact that we were having an affair was executed for lying agai

~~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 ~~It seemed like a dream to me, I couldn't believe that my enemy happened to be my mate.Why should the moon goddess do such a thing? I guess she was mistaken.Giving me a man that hates everything about me including my footsteps and foot match as a mate is disgusting.But hell! I wasn't expecting a rejection from my mate, neither did I know that I wolf less.I had rumors that my family is cursed, and the sudden death of my parents is a result of that curse from the moon goddess, but till now, I still don't know why we were cursed.If she had cursed us not to have a wolf, she would have done the same thing when it comes to mates. Being wolf less but given a mate is heartbroken.I can't really stand and watch my own brother weep because of such things too. I need to get ourselves out of this mess, besides, we don't know the crime our family committed.The guard that had dashed into the room gripped my hand and dragged me out of his room while I was in tears.Just like before,
~~ 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
