~Hazel~The prince's cold fingers slipped under my chin and he raised my head slowly and carefully.His touch was gentle,and for a brief moment,I felt guilty for judging all the Southern men the day the bastard soldier slapped me. I looked him straight in the eyes, those icy grey eyes, daring him to do to me whatever he does to anyone who stared him directly in the eyes.His long,jet black hair was tied into a neat ponytail, high cheekbones, icy grey eyes which held no emotions in them, a chiselled jawline and perfectly carved eyebrows.He was so tall, easily seven feet and masculine.His fingers on my chin felt comfortable and I fought the urge to lean forward so that I could feel more of his touch."A half-breed."His voice pierced through the quiet air, deep and cold. I couldn't help but lean backwards when his name fell in my ear, looking for an escape from him.Monalisa looked at me, her eyes full of worry because she didn't know what would happen to me. The prince already knows my

~Hazel~I climbed down from the bed and slid into my clothes then got out of the room.I didn't have time to brush my teeth or even take a quick shower.I hurriedly walked to the door and opened it without second thoughts.I frowned at the man standing at the door.He looked so angry,as though he was about to kill someone.The man resembled the prince in most of the features. The only difference was that the man was slightly shorter and had short hair compared to the prince's shoulder-length hair."What are you doing? Keep moving!"He commanded, showing us to the exit. "Your fellow slaves are working on building the kingdom and you're still sleeping? We don't encourage laziness in this kingdom.You should know that from today onwards."I looked at Monalisa and she looked back at me and I saw fear flash in her eyes. I knew this day would come, that's why I didn't want to get too comfortable.I kept on reminding myself that I was a slave who was at the Lycan's mercy.I reminded myself every

~Hazel~My heart pounded wildlyagainst my ribcage when Grandpa turned his head to look at me. Her eyes are misty as though he was about to cry or something. Even though we had spent only four days together, it was enough for him to feel sympathy for me because he knew how things would end.Is this how my life is going to end? I couldn't help but ask a silent question that no one had an answer to."I'm sorry that I can't help you,Hazel.No one argues with the dark prince, "Grandpa told me through the mind link and bowed his head in shame, feeling helpless."Thank you for everything. You have been kind to us and that is enough, it's not your fault and I would never blame you for anything. It was bound to happen one day. I think my hiding has come to an end and it's time for me to face my worst nightmare."I told him through the mind link and tears flowed from my eyes like a waterfall."Hazel…"Monalisa grabbed my hand so tightly and pulled me back to her."Please don't leave me. You promis

~Luciano~I sensed someone approaching me in the flower garden, taking a deep breath. I turned around slowly only to be disappointed because it was not someone I was expecting.However,I kept my face emotionless so that no one would know that I was disappointed."Hazel has declined to come back to the castle.I think she's afraid of Mark because he told her that she would be punished severely if she dares to come back to the castle."Hades explained to me and my jaw twitched in anger.How dare Mark stick his nose in my business?Where was he when I needed help in conquering all werewolves packs? He was nowhere to be seen! He was busy having fun and fucking around when I was busy preparing my soldiers for the fight to the death.I was so angry at my brother for touching what's mine.All the captives are mine.I'm the only person who has the right to do whatever I want to them.No one else has the permission to toy around with them apart from.Not even my brother,Mark."Did you tell her that I

~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
