~Hazel~"Wake up and get to work!"There was a loud knock on the door, they were the soldiers who had come to wake us so that we could go to work on building sites.This time we overslept. Monalisa and I woke up immediately and got dressed, we didn't have time to take a bath. So we got out of the house with Grandpa and joined our fellow slaves."Are you okay ladies? I'm sorry that I didn't wake you up early in the morning to get prepared for the day."I heard Grandpa's voice in my head and I turned my head towards him and smiled."It's not your fault, Grandpa. It's our fault too because we didn't wake up on our own."I told him and he nodded his head at my words."How are we supposed to get through the day without taking a bath and breakfast?"Monalisa grumbled."There's nothing we can do about it, Lisa. I think we need to get used to everything because it's going to be this way."I told her through the mind link and she groaned in annoyance.We arrived at the building site and began to ca
~Hazel~I curled and hugged my knees so tightly, feeling like a seven years old girl once again.Afraid for dear life."You belong to the devil, traitor!"The two armed men grabbed me roughly and made me stand up."You're hurting me."I cried out desperately but the tight grip only tightened ten folds.Monalisa wrapped her hands around my waist so tightly as though doing so would prevent the armed soldiers from taking me away."Please let her go, don't hurt her.Hazel is a good person,she has never wronged anyone or kill."Lisa pleaded on my behalf and a hard slap landed on her cheek which sent her back to the ground and she screamed in agony.I wanted to help Lisa get through the pain but I was in no position to help her.I tried to break free from their grips and ran to Monalisa but they only pulled me away from her."Where are you taking my daughter?"Grandpa asked and I shook my head in denial.I didn't want to get him involved in my problems.I didn't want anyone else to get hurt."We're
~Hazel~"Leave her alone and don't you ever touch her again! Anyone who would ever lay a finger on her would have me to contend with."He said, his voice high and commanding that it made the soldiers shiver and they nodded their heads in fear.The soldiers turned around and disappeared into thin air. My eyes never left his, more tears flowed from my eyes because indeed I couldn't believe that Prince Luciano had come to my rescue.If it was like a sweet dream and I didn't want to wake up and face reality. I wanted to dream forever."Hazel."For the first time since I stepped foot in South, he called my name. His voice was deep and soothing and there was something that I couldn't decipher about how he called my name.The words rolled over his tongue so easily without making an effort.Does this mean he knew my name along along but he has been preventing as though he didn't know anything about me?"Prince…"I choked out, soft sobs escaping my lips because I couldn't believe that I was still
~Luciano~"She needs your comfort."Liam, my wolf purred in my head, giving me directions because he knows too well that I'm poor when it comes to dealing with women.I'm twenty nine but I'm yet to find my fated and I never bothered to have a mistress or chose a mate for myself.My entire life I have been busy taking over the packs, to fulfil my father's dream of taking over the East. I didn't have time for women, I didn't have time to live.I hesitantly wrapped my hand around Hazel's small figure, she was so small in my arms and she fitted perfectly. I rubbed her back gently, stealing some knowledge from Hades.Hades is good with women and I would watch him silently as ladies sat on his laps.Lycan ladies tried to seduce me whenever we attended parties with Hades and Gamma Jonas but I never showed any interest in them.My mind was always occupied with accomplishing what my dad started.Hazel cried even more when I rubbed her back and I didn't know what to do next. I closed my eyes and
~Hazel~I blinked my sore eyes countless times to get rid of the blurry vision when the morning light hit my face. I groaned because my eyes were painful and tossed on the bed.I shot up because the bed was too comfortable compared to sleeping on the floor at grandpa's.That's when I recalled that I was in the prince's room.The room was empty and my eyebrows furrowed, before I could guess where the Prince had gone, the bathroom door clicked open and I couldn't help but turn my head towards it.A white towel was tied tightly around his waist, his shoulders-length hair was wet from the shower and it dripped water on his chest, making him look hot. Luciano looked more masculine while bare chested compared to when his clothes were on. The herbs were chiselled and deep.I imagined running my fingers over those abs.I swallowed hard when the thought popped into my head and I looked away.I didn't want to build castles in my head because it was crystal clear that we'll never have a thing beca
~Luciano~I tried to concrete the papers that laid on the vintage table but it seemed like I couldn't fully focus on it. My mind kept on going back to Hazel, it was not normal for me to be distracted by a woman.Why her?I couldn't help but question myself."I think you have already done the forbidden."My wolf answered my silent questions. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion because I didn't know what the hell Liam was talking about."I already did it by housing her, "I answered Liam and he heaved a frustrated sigh."I'm not talking about housing her."He said and I frowned, "What do you mean then?"I inquired and Liam was silent, I could tell it was something scary because of his silence."I think you're falling for her.It's too late to hold back and fight the feeling because you have already fallen so deep.You care about her so much.Hazel has tamed the heartless Lycan prince."The pen that I was holding in my hand slid when I heard Liam's words.He just confirmed my worst fear. It now m
~Hazel~It has already been three days since Monalisa and I came back to the castle. We spent most of our time learning new skills like knitting to pass time since we hadn't gotten something important to do.The prince became to be busy, avoiding me at all costs and I didn't know what was going on with him because I couldn't think of something that I had done wrong that hurt him.I looked through the window and realised it was already evening, heaving a deep sigh, I placed the novel back on the bookshelf and decided to walk out of the library.Monalisa was sleeping when I walked into her room, so I didn't want to wake her up. That's why I decided to kill time in the library.Servants looked at me as I walked in the hallway but I didn't pay that much attention to them cause I'm used to their weird glances.My mind jolted back to the present when someone grabbed my hand roughly all of a sudden and pulled me into another corridor.My heart pounded wildly when I looked into those angry e
~Hazel~"Prince…How can I help you?"I heard her voice in my head, polite and soothing.Liam purred in my head and a groan left my lips."Is something wrong? Are you okay?"There was worry in her voice, she was worried about me. I know she was surprised that I was calling her this late.How was I supposed to explain to her that I didn't mean to make her worry? Damn, it!."Are you sleeping...I mean are you okay?"I stuttered for the first time in my entire life, not sure of what to say. I didn't want her to hear the excitement in my voice,so I tried to sound normal."Yes, I just woke up when I heard your voice in my head."She answered, still sleepy."Sorry for waking you up. I was worried about you when you didn't show up in the flower garden. That's why I decided to look out for you and make sure that you were alright."I explained briefly and she was quiet. I couldn't help but frown, wondering if I had bored her and she went back to sleep."Hello, I'm over here."I was startled when Hazel'
