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
~~ HAZEL ~~Three days after I returned to the palace, I was crowned the Luna of Blue moon pack.It was something to be happy about, but to me, it was something else. The king had already told me that I'm not his Luna, rather he's keeping me beside him because he doesn't want to lose the throne.What the hell! He's only using me, and not because he loves me.He renders curses on me even in the presence of everyone and calls me abusive names.It seemed like a dream to me when I was given a different room from his, and he ordered me never to step my feet in his room without his order or he would skin me alive.My mate is cold hearted. He doesn't suit me at all.Despite that I was crowned in the presence of everyone, he still turned me into a slave and made sure that I'm bullied.His sister is recovering quickly, maybe I'll leave the palace again when she's okay because I might not withstand the pain.The only one who's nice to me is Earl, his friend and then his parents. But still, I do
~~ 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 the dowager queen left my room, I fell onto my bed and burst into tears. Nothing seems to turn out well for me and I begin to wonder if the curse that has been placed upon me is also affecting every aspect of my life because why would I be mated to someone who hates me more than anything? Everything seemed bleak and I decided to stay locked up in my room for a while. That way, I'd be out of Onyx's way. He doesn't even want to see my shadow and so do I. Somewhere in the deepest part of my heart is nothing but hate for him. It's starting out as a seed and I believed that in no time, I'd hate him with everything I have in me. I have been miserable my whole life thinking that my mate was somewhere waiting to claim me and be my redemption. I feel like I just walked into destruction. I suddenly begin to regret why I even chose to marry him in the first place. My wounds have been tended to but it still hurts. I can't heal fast or even at all becau
