HAZEL

The messenger's words remained on my mind as Tommy escorted me toward the council chamber. I had barely begun to understand the wolf awakening inside me, yet the council already believed my existence might threaten an entire kingdom. As we approached the enormous doors, I wondered whether anyone would see me as anything other than a dangerous bloodline.

“Are you all right?” Tommy asked, glancing at me with concern. “You don't have to answer every accusation they make today, Hazel. If they

  • The Lycan Heir’s Mate Was Never Weak   Chapter 29

    TOMMYHazel's voice reached me, but my body refused to respond. One moment, I had been standing beside her, waiting for her answer. The next, my Lycan surged forward with such force that I could barely recognise my own thoughts. My vision blurred, my fingers curled into fists, and an unfamiliar growl escaped my throat.I heard Hazel call my name again, but something inside me was fighting to take control. I could feel my Lycan's anger, its confusion, and something dangerously close to fear. Her wolf had awakened, and mine was responding as though it had recognised something it had been searching for. I couldn't understand why."Tommy, look at me!" Hazel called, taking a cautious step towards me. I wanted to reach for her, but my Lycan pushed against my control again. The court physician moved forward, only for me to raise my hand. "Don't come closer," I warned, struggling to keep my voice steady."Your Highness, you need to calm down. Your Lycan is reacting to something, and I need to

    HAZELI stared at the court attendant, wondering if I had heard him correctly. I had barely stepped into the royal residence, and already there were nobles waiting to question whether I deserved to be there. Tommy's fingers tightened around mine, but before he could respond, I looked at the attendant."They have assembled to evaluate me?" I asked, trying to keep the surprise out of my voice.The attendant bowed slightly. "Yes, Your Highness. Several members of the council believe your recognition should be reviewed before you assume any responsibilities as future Luna."I glanced at Tommy, whose expression had turned cold. "We just arrived, and they're already questioning her position?""They believe the matter requires immediate attention, Your Highness," the attendant replied, lowering his gaze.I swallowed the disappointment rising in my throat. I had known the court wouldn't welcome me easily, but I hadn't expected them to begin before I had even settled into the palace. It remind

    HAZELMy mother's lips parted, but no words came out immediately. She looked at me with tear-filled eyes, her fingers twisting nervously in front of her as though she was searching for the right thing to say. I waited, giving her the chance to answer my question, even though a part of me already knew she wouldn't have an answer that could undo the past."Hazel, things were never as simple as you think. Margaret was fragile when she came into our family, and we were trying to make her feel safe. Your father and I had responsibilities, and we had to think about the future of the pack. We didn't always make the right decisions, but we were doing what we thought was best."I listened without interrupting, but every explanation felt like another reminder that she still didn't understand. Margaret had needed protection, my father had responsibilities, and the pack had a future to consider. Everyone had a reason, yet nobody had ever considered what those decisions were doing to me."I know y

    HAZELThe entire court had gathered in the ceremonial hall, waiting for my answer. I stood beside Tommy, looking at the faces watching us. My parents stood among them, with Margaret a short distance away and Louis watching quietly. For most of my life, I had waited for my family to decide I was worth choosing. I was tired of waiting.Tommy's hand rested close to mine, but he didn't take it. He had promised that this decision would be mine, and he was keeping that promise. I stepped forward, drew a breath, and faced the assembled court."I have made my decision. I will proceed with the mate-bond ceremony. But I want something understood before it begins. I am not standing here because the royal family rescued me, and I am not accepting this position simply because I carry Dark Moon blood."My eyes moved towards my parents. "My ancestry may matter to this kingdom, but it doesn't make me more valuable than anyone else. I was still Hazel before anyone discovered my bloodline. I was still

    HAZEL“Hold on, I'm coming!” the specialist called again, rushing toward us with the documents clutched against his chest.I turned to Tommy, confusion replacing the excitement I had felt moments earlier. The royal household had been preparing to announce our ceremony, and I had finally made peace with my decision. Now the specialist had arrived with evidence that could change everything I knew about my family.“What have you discovered?” Tommy asked, stepping forward as the specialist stopped before us. “You said the final comparison had to happen before the ceremony. Is there something wrong with Hazel's results?”“Not necessarily, Your Highness,” the specialist replied, catching his breath. “I've found additional evidence in the surviving historical material, and when I compared it with the earlier examination results, several inconsistencies became impossible to ignore. We need to complete the assessment before anyone makes an announcement.”My stomach tightened as I looked at the

    HAZEL“Three southern Alphas have publicly questioned whether you should become Luna, and Margaret has been encouraging their concerns,” Tommy explained, placing a report on the table between us. “She's presenting herself as the victim of a jealous sister, and she's making sure everyone hears her version before they have the chance to hear yours.”I stared at the report, my stomach tightening as I read the names of the Alphas involved. I had hoped that leaving the Larkspur estate would give me room to heal without constantly defending my existence, but Margaret apparently had other plans. No matter where I went, she found a way to make my future about her.“So even here, I can't escape her,” I murmured, pushing the report away. “I thought I could focus on recovering my wolf and learning what it means to be part of this kingdom, but now I have to worry about whether my own sister is convincing people that I'm unworthy of standing beside you.”“You don't have to answer every rumor she s
