Woods, there were woods everywhere.Talk trees, so tall the sky was barely visible now.They were like canopies shielding the sky, Hazel could barely see even the ground beneath her now. It was all way too dark. The leaves crunched beneath her feet as she walked through this unfamiliar place. How did she get here? What was she doing here?She stared ahead of her, she turned again and stared around her. She was simply surrounded by trees left and right. The leaves crunched behind her, she spun at once, her heart skipping a beat. Those were not her footsteps. She panicked, should she run? Wait it out?If she tried to run, the sound of the leaves crunching behind her might give her presence away.The sound of the crunching leaves continued to approach and with a heaving heart, she made her choice. Hazel sprinted through the woods. The leaves weren't dry, yet many had falled on the floor and surrounded her. They rustled noisily as she ran through them. Mysteriously, this unseen fo

Whatever it was, it was approaching faster. She knew, she could feel it, she felt too afraid to look back. She wanted to, really wanted to tilt her head for a moment and look back. But she felt too scared to do so. Ducking through branches and trees, she knew she could trip over if she dared turn around. Panting, she was beginning to lose her strength.She could not ran as fast anymore. Her heart, beating so quickly felt as though it might burst open beneath her chest any moment. She was weak now, but whatever it was.... It's strength persisted. Four legs, she could hear four legs coming closer and closer to her. Hazel grabbed a tree branch, trying to steady herself. She tilted her head to see her chaser, in that very last moment. Her name was called, right ahead of her. "Hazel!"A familiar voice flooded her ears and in no second her closed eyes flew open. "Hazel... Are you okay?" Luca was staring at her, his brows knitted in worry. She blinked her eyes, once twice. "Hazel

Luca gave her some water to drink.It helped calm her down, it seemed something was a little off with Luke and Lucinda's car. They were parked right ahead. Luke and Lucinda had climbed out, and the hood was open too. A bit of smoke seemed to be leaking out the front of the car. Luca climbed down, shutting the door as walked over to them. "What's wrong?" He asked, hands on his hip and his brows knitted.Luke exhaled, rubbing his chin. "I think it might have overheated just a little bit." He explained.Luca chuckled dryly. "Just a little bit? It's smoking. Who forgot to add some water in the car?" He frowned. The duo remained silent for a bit. Lucinda frowned, rubbing her arms and staring around them.The road was empty and dry, surrounded by trees left and right. "What are we gonna do now?" She asked worriedly.Luca sighed quietly. "We are only two hours away right now, and it's getting a bit dark already. Waiting is not an option." He explained."We can't leave the car here thoug

The sky was starting to darken as they went deeper into their journey. Luke and Lucinda had taken places in the backseat and they had been bantering for most of the journey.Hazel was in the passenger seat beside Luca, still seemingly a bit shaken up from her weird dream. Exhaustion weighed on her like a ton of bricks. They had been on the road for hours and the only time she got off the car was to ease herself about five hours ago. Her feet were cramped and her limbs weak, a chance to get off the car would be a welcome miracle. "What's that?" Luke frowned from the backseat spotting what seemed to be a road block forming in front of them."Why is there a road block at the boundary?" Lucinda frowned in response.Luca's hands tensed around in the wheel and Hazel peered at the roads in front of them, growing strangely uncomfortable.There was a road block indeed, and what seemed to be armed men surrounded it. They were pointing guns at their approaching vehicle."No need to be worr

It was beautiful none to say the least. Houses and shops with perfect architecture that seemed particularly peculiar to this area.There were people going about their day too. Men, women and children. There were trees or flowery vegetation inside almost every yard with short fences. Luca drove through the road as Hazel stared out the window with her faced pressed against the glass.She had almost already forgotten her major worry. Meeting Lucas' parents. "I can't wait to see our parents." Lucinda breathed from the back seat, "I have missed my old room."Suddenly Hazel's mind was drawn back to it once more. Meeting Luca's parents... silently she wondered what would be the proper protocol for a situation such as this. She was very aware Luca's parents were royals.It never really dawned much on her that she had married into a royal family, she was technically one of them now, yet... she had no idea how to act like them at all. His royal ancestry was a part of Lucas' story the medi

They were parked right in front of the palace now.A sight to behold it was.The castle. Tall masquerade trees lined in the corners and perfectly trimmed and pruned flowers lined in the front. Guards in uniforms were stationed in different corners, their chins tilted into the air and back straight in a rigid posture. They wore navy blue uniforms, and a white belt. They were mighty men, so much more built than most regular dudes were. They looked like they spent a minimum of seventy percent of their day training their bodies to be so carved into muscle and mass that it was still visible underneath their uniform. Staring at them, you will have no doubt the would be able to snap an average man in half by just squeezing their hands around them once.Hazel very nearly shuddered as one approached the vehicle, holding the door open for Luca with a bow. "Welcome home, your Majesty, Alpha Luca. We have been expecting you arrival." He recited, his face tensed up and eyes hardened like pebb

They were too share a room. Hazel stood at the door, as a servant wheeled their luggage into the room cautiously.Luca was standing by the window, hands tucked into his pocket and his face in a stern glare.She could sense the tension in his shoulders ever since they crossed the border and arrived at this mansion, something was off with him. He seemed disturbed, barely even noticing or acknowledging her presence with him in the room.This was Luca's room. She reminded herself, staring around her current surroundings. He grew up in here most probably.The dark blue sheets on the massive bed in the middle of the room, blue curtains on the intimidating windows roped with gold thread that slithered through the fabric, making a pattern that resembled a wolf. There was a table and a chair in the other side and a small floating shelf of books hanging above it. A huge dresser to which the servant had wheeled their luggage and left for her to finally unpack them and settle in.The room sme

She was still holding firmly unto his hands as she stared into his eyes warmly. "Why didn't you introduce me to your parents earlier before the wedding?" She asked calmly.He inhaled, he was a bit startled he would have to admit. He did not expect her to be bold enough to walk up and take his hands in hers, she had never really done anything like it before. And quite frankly, he liked it. He was already a bit restless about the prospects of having to explain to her why they have to share a room.His parents would of course immediately grow suspicious of he asked for another room. Rooms weren't a problem in this castle of theirs at all, there might even be enough to host half the village. But he knew, his parents, they would have their eyes on the both of them, hungry for the slightest suspicion, even more hungry than a gossip blog. "It's..." He opened his mouth to speak, clearing his throat lightly. "It's complicated." Complicated? She asked herself. How complicated could it be?
