LOGIN~HAILEY ~The slap happened out of nowhere. I did not think that I would slap her. I hadn't meant to do it. I couldn't help it. My hand trembled. My first urge was to apologize and beg for her to forgive me but seeing the smug look on her face made all the guilt I had felt disappear.“Is that all you've got,” Hazel said smugly. She did not look that much affected by the slap. She looked and acted a lot different from the kind, shy girl that I had met earlier.Who actually is this person? What did they do with the girl earlier? The girl who had cried about Luna Valencia like she was her mother or something? The girl who had shown such concern. Why is she suddenly so different.“Ashford chose me! You just have to accept it!” The bratty teenager said and stomped out of the corridor we were standing in.~HAZEL~I struggled to catch my breath, struggled to keep the tears from coming. I failed with the latter, eventually gave up and allowed the tears fall.What am I doing?!Why am I doing t
~ASHFORD~ “Step out of the car! Put your hands where I can see them!”“Shit! Shit! Shit!” I walked out of the car. I had just hit the car in front of mine. The impact from the hit pushed me hard against the steering wheel. I panicked, wondering what it did to the affected car.I raised my hands up. My panic surged. Did I just kill someone? Oh fuck! I should not have gotten into the car! I shouldn't have had the drink.Immediately the cop's eyes landed on me, his strict demeanor changed. His sterness reduced.“Sir,” he said with a bow even though he was way older than me. I ignored his overcompensating attitude and rushed to the car. I needed to see that the person was alright. I had to make sure I did not hurt anyone. I could not live with myself if I hurt someone.I knocked on the door of the car, the windows were tinted so I couldn't see through. The back of the car where I had hit was pretty much destroyed so I worried that the person inside would be unconscious, given that they
EPISODE 88: THE FIGHT FOR HAILEY.~ASHFORD~The first time I met Dario Valdriss I was five. My father owed him money. My father could not pay. My father, the town's drunk. The wife beater. The malodorous bully. There was no way that he would have been able to pay the huge amount of money he owed Alpha Dario. Dario knew this when he “lend” the money to my father.Alpha Dario had no intention of getting the money back. He wanted something different: me.This was a long time ago. A few decades away. Dario's most trusted soldiers, his right hand man Ryan Cooley had just betrayed him. Ryan set up an entire army, which consisted of Dario's own soldiers.Ryan's army (which was formerly Dario's army) had one mission: kill Alpha Dario so that his second-in-command (Ryan Cooley) would be the next Alpha.The attack was brutal. Everybody at the palace claimed that they saw Dario in flames. They saw him burn but somehow he survived. Somehow he came out of the attack unscathed, ready for revenge.A
~HAZEL~“What is going on here?!” Father. He is here. Hailey looks away from him. I am supposed to. I should stare at the ground in reverence of the Alpha but I couldn't bring myself to do that. I do not respect this…man.“It is m… Luna Valencia. She's hurt,” I said, staring at my father who gave me off to a stranger so easily. The tears fell from my eyes, behind the lace.If he noticed my insolence, he did not seem to care. He rushed into the room. We all followed, tradition was thrown.Shivers ran through my spine when my eyes fell on the sight of mom. She was chained to the bed like an animal. She looked thin and pale and unhealthy.She looked as white as death.I cried. Not even caring to mask my whimpers. Nobody seemed to care anyway, they were all focused on reviving her.“Call the doctor!” The man that I used to call father yelled.“Valencia! Valencia! Please don't do this to me! Please wake up!” He yelled in fear as he tried to resuscitate her. Have you ever had that feeling
~HAZEL~I had a tray balanced in my hand, followed closely behind Hailey who expertly weaved through the many doors and crevices of the last floor to get to the elevator.She stopped a lot of times to greet some of the other workers around. They all seemed really close to her. They all seemed to love her a lot. Even the one that looked stern, the one that had not been smiling, cracked up a huge smile immediately he set his eyes on Hailey.She floated through the downstairs building like a light with a big smile and appealing politeness plastered on her face.However, that smile faded immediately we got to the front of the elevator that would lead to the royal floor.“Listen to me,” Hailey said sternly.“Whatever happens at the royal floor stays at the royal floor. If you see something sketchy happening don't say anything if you want to keep your life.”Hailey reached for my hand. She let out a small empathetic smile.“I know this job is hard but I promise, I will protect you as best a
~HAZEL~“Mom is here!”“She's alright! She's here!”“Wait, why did she not bother to look for me?” “In her last text to me, she said she knows where Zander is. She said she was going to save him. Is he here too? Are they all together: mom, dad, Zander and Nick? Did they all decide that I was too much trouble. That they did not want me in their lives anymore? Was that why father sold me to Ashford as easily as he did?Are they trying to start a new family without me?The thought of that crashed my spirit greatly. I have never felt like I belong here. I don't know how best to explain it but even though my father, Alpha Dario Valdriss, is obviously my father, I have never actually felt like his child.I feel more connected to Valencia and She's not even my biological mother.It has always been very confusing for me.Madam Rosa studied me with a scowl on her face. This immediately Jerked me back to the present.“Have you gone mute little girl?!” She snapped at me. Oh shit! I must have mi
VALENCIA’S POINT OF VIEW “Gale? What are you doing here?” I asked surprised, I did not expect to see anyone apart from my self-adopted siblings; Amber, Nathan and Adam, I would have been surprised but still would have totally understood if it was Alpha Dario here, I have half prepared for my visit
ALEXANDRO’S POINT OF VIEW I laid down very stiffly next to Sheila, I did not sleep, could not fall asleep, she moves a lot in her sleep, mutters things that I cannot understand, I want to leave because for some reason… for reasons I don’t understand this does not feel right, for reason I do not un
SHEILA’S POINT OF VEIWIt wasn’t really hard to get me out of my room/prison so it wouldn’t be hard for me to escape but do I actually want to escape? That is the question. I love chess because of how strategic players have to be so I review my choices like I am a player in a chess game, like my ch
VALENCIA’S POINT OF VIEW Immediately Alpha Dario entered lady Nicole’s room, the whole atmosphere became tense. I and the other of the maids in the room bowed our heads, the tears from the pain of the slap continued to fall, I wiped it off over and over again with my hand.“What did you do to her?
