,-Hazel-

The party ended with a lot of applause and celebration. The crown prince did nothing but parade me all round the ball room.

I felt sick as he posted of how will become one of the few alpha king's in history to have an omega as his mate.

Was this all I was? Nothing out a tool to be used? I feel so angry that my wolf is about to surface but I need a clear mind to think.

If my mind is gone, I will never be able to escape this place.

It has been hours since the ball ended and I was alone in my chambers. My mind drifts back to what my father said to me after the ball ended and the guests left.

"Now!!! Hazel my daughter!!! you have become a useful tool to me and have brought me closer to the throne. I am very happy that your useless mother was able to give me an omega. You must do all that the crown prince asks for you no matter the cost. I will beat you till you are on the brink of death".

With that, I was dragged to my chambers and he positioned four guards around my room to trap me. Two were directly Infront of my door and two were outside my window.

I wipe the tears that escape. What sort of a life is this? A life where I am unable to have my own identify and idea of self.

I felt suffocated and trapped like a beautiful dove in a cage. I wanted to run mad and turn feral. What was I to do?

......Should I kill myself?......

Was this the only option for me? Remembering the sick look the crown prince had on his face, I quickly grab a small letter knife off of my dresser and grip the handle tight.

I was a werewolf with great healing abilities and this was a little knife. I will need to cut myself numerous times and in vital places of I want to be successful with this. it would had been way faster if I had a bigger knife bit I will have to make do with my limited option.

But before I could contemplate any further, I hear a knock on my door and I quickly hide the knife and compose myself. It could be my father or one of my brothers.

However, to my surprise, in came my mother and Alice with a food tray in tow.

My mother walks up to me and engulfs me into a huge hug and I let go of all the tears and emotions I've been holding in. This is the first time I've ever felt my mother's warmth and it was more than enough to let me wail.

"Quickly Hazel! We must hurry!!! You need to leave here as soon as possible" she says hurriedly and Alice makes a quick work of undressing me.

"Wait what is happening?"

Alice quickly dresses me in a maid's outfit and hides my hair in a bonnet.

"Now listen to me Hazel. We will leave this room together and Alice will take your place"

As if in cue, Alice wears my dress and puts on a blonde wig.

"Wait mother!! what crazy plan have you come up with?! How can Alice take my place?!!!? Do you know what father would do to her when she is discovered?!!! What about you?!!! If you are found to have a hand in my escape, you won't be safe either" I say very confused.

"My lady-" Alice begins but before she could continue, she is interrupted by my mother.

My mother walks up to me and cups my cheek and wears a very soft look on her face.

"Hazel. My beloved daughter. I am so sorry I could not protect you and I have been a coward but not anymore. There is no way I will let my precious daughter be sold off as some life stock like I was. The crown prince has no plan to mate with you honey. He plans to have you bear alphas and sells your body to high ranking officials for politics gain" she says and I freeze in shock.

I knew it! Something was wrong! There is no way that that wayward man suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to settle down.

" Yes my lady it's true" Alice says

........"Alice"

"Please allow me to do this my lady. You saved my life and I want to repay you. Please let me"

"Hazel, you need to escape and never look back. Forget about us and your life as the daughter of the duke. Please be free and happy" and with that, a foul smelling liquid was poured on me by Alice

" I am sorry my lady but we need to hide your scent"

My mother holds my cheeks and strokes them. "Hazel do not worry. I have bribed the guards. Your father and brothers are in a meeting in the private study so you will need to go through the forest. Go now and don't look back. We love you Hazel"

I turn to hug Alice but she pushes me in the direction of the door and hands me a pouch filled with gold coins

I run out if the room and true to my mother's words, none of the guards stop me. Once I was in the forest, I hold the pouch I was given in my mouth and transform into my wolf.

I can not tell for how long I have been running. My legs are burning and my lungs are about to give out.

Not once did I dare to look back and not once did I even think to stop running. I will rather die out here than get captured again.

I can tell it has been days but I keep at it and finally, I reach an area that looks like it is void of all life and civilization.

The exhaustion finally catches up to me and I collapse on the floor, not being able to stay in my wolf form any longer.

I struggle to get up on my feet and scan my surroundings. I do not know where I am but all I see are trees and plants.

I must be in some sort of forest. The sun is about to retire for the night. I best find a safe place to lay my head and get warm.

I wrap my arms round my naked form in a desperate attempt to cover myself and I clutch my money pouch close to my chest, 

HOWWWLLLLLL

I am startled as I hear a deafening howl. I feel a wave of vibrations travel down my spine and I shiver.

I hear more howls and if I am correct there are about three wolves in the area.

'''''Rogues..

Wolves that have lost any form of humanity that they once possessed and have become full blown rabids.

I have to hurry and finmd shelter. If they were to find me, they will tear me to shreds.

I drag my exxhausted form with every strength I could muster, limping away as quickly as I could but my efforts deemed useless.

Before I could comprehend what was happening, I was surrounded by three rabid, drooling wolves snarling and growling at me.

I drop the pouch in my hand, my nakedness long forgptten. I could not help  the tears that run down my face as I face death.

To think that their sacrifices will be as waste.

I can not believe I am going to die like this. Perhpas they were right... I am just a useless omea after all.

I close my eyes as the wolves jump at me waitimg for the pain and ready to resign into the hands of death.

However, I feel nothing. I open my eyes and I see a very muscular back. Two of the wolves were on the ground with their mouths ripped open and the third has its head crushes like it was nothing.

It is obviously a male but who is he and what is he doing here?

My surroundings become fuzzy and the dizziness takes overmaking my vision blurry.

No!

Hazel!

Do not dare!

You do not know who this male is!!

Perhaps father found me?

More tears escape my eyes and I soon fainted from exhaustion welcoming the darkness with open arms.

    The council room was steeped in an eerie silence, broken only by the soft echo of the crown prince's chilling words. The atmosphere hung heavy with tension, each person present acutely aware of the gravity of the situation. The crown prince's eyes bore into the assembled councilmen, his gaze unwavering, demanding answers.As the room held its breath, a faint shiver passed through the air. The flickering torchlight cast long, menacing shadows across the marble floor, amplifying the sense of foreboding that permeated the space. The scent of blood, thick and metallic, clung to the air, a stark reminder of the violent act that had just transpired.The crown prince's voice cut through the stillness, sharp and commanding, as he addressed the room. His words hung in the air, charged with a potent mix of anger and sorrow. The weight of his grief was palpable, a heavy burden that now rested squarely on his shoulders.A cold wind swept through the chamber, rattling the windows and causing the f

  • The Forgotten Alpha    Chapter 149

    The tension in the room was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. It was only logical for the council members to assume that the crown prince's clenched grip on his sword was fueled by a burning desire for vengeance against his father's assailant. They were caught in a precarious balance between self-preservation and the looming threat of Luna's wrath, knowing that any move they made could tip the scales one way or the other.As he advanced, each step seemed to reverberate with an icy resolve, a demeanor they had never witnessed before in the young prince. Their apprehension grew, their hearts pounding in anticipation of the impending confrontation. They braced themselves for the worst, their minds racing to fathom the depths of the tragedy that had befallen their kingdom. Yet, before they could fully grasp the gravity of the situation, the crown prince closed the distance to his fallen father, the alpha king, who lay in a grim pool of his own lifeblood.In that solemn moment, t

    In the shadowed recesses of the council chamber, where once camaraderie flourished, now lingered the specter of betrayal. The nobles, who had dared to defy the very foundation of their kingdom, stood undeterred by the enormity of their transgression. This audacious act, had fate been kind, would have warranted immediate and severe retribution. Yet, an eerie calm settled upon them, a disconcerting absence of remorse.The lifeless form of the alpha king lay sprawled, a silent witness to the treachery that had unfolded. The air, heavy with the acrid scent of spilled blood, bore no trace of mourning. Instead, it pulsed with whispered conspiracies and urgent deliberations. They were not bound by the solemnity of the moment, nor did they grant the blood time to congeal before they began weaving their plans.In a far corner, the nobles huddled together, their opulent robes billowing around them, shielding them from the crimson testament to their rebellion. Their shoes, polished to a mirror-l

    -the alpha king-The council chamber, bathed in an icy stillness that belied its usual warmth and bustle, bore witness to an unprecedented convergence. Every council member, typically punctuality's foe, had gathered with astonishing swiftness. As the alpha king, accustomed to the customary delays, this unexpected promptness spoke volumes.Today marked a turning point. The shackles of trepidation that once bound my decisions concerning the kingdom had been shattered. The room held its collective breath, hanging on my every word."We shall relinquish our forces to the Lunari forthwith," I proclaimed, and in that heartbeat, the chamber was ablaze with discord.Bedlam reigned. Councilors, once eloquent and composed, now hurled vehement objections into the air. It was a predictable response. These blue-blooded aristocrats, entrenched in their pride and privilege, preferred to forfeit their very existence than to entertain the notion of coexistence with the common folk. The cacophonous diss

    -The royal palace in the royal capital-(The alpha king)As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the grandeur of the royal palace, the weight of the situation hung heavily in the air. The news of Lunari's audacious act had rippled through the kingdom like wildfire, igniting tensions that had long smoldered beneath the surface. In the opulent chambers, adorned with tapestries that bore the stories of generations past, I stood, my gaze fixed upon the butler, his countenance etched with a solemnity that mirrored the gravity of the circumstances. His eyes, pools of unwavering loyalty, met mine, conveying a silent understanding that silence, in this moment, was not the answer. The tale unfurled before us like a dark tapestry woven with threads of betrayal and ambition. The Lunari, once a faction bound by honor and tradition, had chosen the path of conflict, their declaration of war echoing through the halls of power. The severed head of a noble, a sinister messag
