~Hazel~I blinked countless times to get rid of the blurry vision when the bright sunlight shined on my face mercilessly. I furrowed my brows and frowned, wondering how I got to my bed.If I could remember clearly,I fell asleep in the flower garden while talking to the prince.'So the prince brought me to my room,and laid me to my bed?'I couldn't help but question myself.My lips curved into a smile when the memories re-played in my head.I recalled the conversation that I had with him. The way I let out all my frustrations and complaint about how the moon goddess was so unfair to me. I'm quite sure that Luciano now thinks that I like complaining about everything."Damn it!"I cursed under my breath, why did I feel so comfortable talking to the prince? Someone who sent shivers down everyone's spine upon the mention of his name?I realised that the prince was not as scary as people made him seem to be. He was gentle and caring when you get to know him better.The thought of it made me re
~Luciano~Honey and coconut…I closed my eyes and inhaled the intoxicating scent deep in my lungs and Liam purred in my head.It had become my favourite scent lately.A soft knock pierced through the quiet air and I composed myself, then permitted Hazel to walk into my office.I wondered what brought her to my office because it was not normal. I didn't know why I allowed her to get inside,no one is allowed to enter inside apart from My Beta,Gamma, stubborn bro and mother.However,it was hard to say no when it came to Hazel.The door clicked open and she peeked through the small opening that she had created."Are you too busy?"She asked, her voice gentle and soothing in my ear."No, you can come in and tell me whatever you want to say."I put the pen on the top of the file and pretended as though I wasn't too busy.I wanted to tell her that I was too busy. That I didn't have time to talk to anyone or listen to anything that anyone had to tell me. However, it seemed like my tongue had a mi
~Luciano~She removed the necklace from her neck and placed it on my palm then closed it."This is a good luck necklace. It carries my mother's blessings. I believe it will help you win the case."She said and smiled at me."But it's precious to you. What if I lose it?"I reasoned out, "Yes it's precious but you need it for luck. I know you can take good care of it."She protested, stubborn like always."I wish you good luck."She said and wrapped her hand around me so tightly and I hugged her back so tightly."Luciano we need to get going.What are you…"Hades went quiet when he realised that Hazel was in my office.He looked at us with raised eyes and hazel wriggled from my arms."See you."She smiled at me and I smiled back.She greeted Hades on her way out.My beta turned too look at me,the corner of his lips curving into a wicked smile."Is something going between the two of you that I don't know?"He asked and a groan tore from my lips."Let's get going.It's getting late."I walked past my
~Hazel~"It was not easy but we did it."The prince told me when he pulled from the suffocating hug. His lips curved into a broad smile and he looked damn good.His shoulder length hair was free and he looked like a god. Masculine, chiselled face and just the right height that I preferred.Luciano was slightly taller than Sebastian since he is a Lycan.Why is the moon goddess so unfair to me? Why did he make Luciano look that handsome when he knew that I would never run my hands over those deep abs and that jet-black long hair?My heart ached when I gave it a thought."Hazel? Are you okay?"He held my hand into his, waking me from the fantasy world that I was in and I gave him a broad smile."It's justhat...I can't believe you came out clean. I'm so happy for you. I mean for us."I said and he smiled at me.I thought he would be mad at me if I used the words "us". However, he looked happy and unbothered and so was I.I know it would never be us.But, I just wanted to use it so that I coul
~Hazel~"Mate…"The mysterious man mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear. His eyes flashed and a smile graced his lips.Monalisa pushed back the chair and stood up, almost falling but she held onto the table for stability. She walked to the man and wrapped her hands around him so tightly and the man hugged her back, tightly.Soft sobs tore from Lisa's lips.She was excited to finally find her fated mate. The mysterious man patted her back soothingly, calming her down.I smiled, it was a sight to behold. Monalisa and her mate looked so cute together, she fitted into her arms perfectly. They were meant to be, they finally found their way to each other's arms.I was happy for Lisa,very happy.However,I couldn't help but feel some unexplainable jealousy and sadness inside me.I wished I could be the one who had found my mate.Luciano, Hades and I watched the scene quietly."Shhh…it's okay."The man held Monalisa's face between his palms and wiped tears from her eyes. His eyes were so gentle
~Hazel~I wiped tears from my eyes and turned my head to look at Luciano who had a smile on his face. I smiled back at him and he sat on the bench close to me."As you can see I came to keep you company. You're not alone."He said, his voice gentle and soothing.More tears flowed from my eyes when I heard his words.I guess he didn't understand what I meant."I mean in life. I always end up lonely."I said and he was quiet, he didn't say anything. His silence made my heart ache, I wanted him to say something, just anything."You're not going to be alone from now on."I turned my head to look at him, not believing what he had just said."But…but…"I couldn't bring myself to say even a single word."Shh…you don't have to say anything."He pulled me into his arms and patted my back, then gave my body a gentle squeeze.I decided to forget about all my problems for a minute and basked in his warm embrace. It was warm in his arms and I wanted to stay there for the rest of my life if that was poss
~Luciano~My Gamma followed behind me and we walked in silence. We entered my office and I closed the door behind us."Please have a seat, Jonas."He frowned at me, "Why do you look so serious? Has something come up? Has the kingdom been attacked or something?"Jonas asked me and I shook my head and raked my hair backwards."It's not about security," I told him and saw his tensed shoulders relax immediately and he sat on the chair."Why do you look so stressed out when it doesn't have to do with security?"He leaned on the chair lazily and raised his eyebrows at me.I walked to the cellar and picked a bottle of one of the old wines and two glasses. This conversation needed some wine."Let's have some wine as we talk about a few things that need to be corrected."I poured the wine and sat on the chair. I watched my Gamma pick the glass of wine and took a sip, humming in approval when the wine hit the right place."I called you so that we can talk about you and your mate."A deep frown settl
~Luciano~A deep frown settled on Hazel's beautiful features when she heard me groan."Are you okay?"She inquired, her voice gentle and soothingly in my ear.I know Hazel would understand if I told her that I was not okay. This time I didn't want to act like the strong Lycan prince that I was. I wanted to say the truth, I wanted her to know whatever I was going through.I dreaded seeing my mother because I'm quite sure they have informed her about everything I have done for Hazel, the half-breed that I favoured among all.The half-breeds that she hated so much.I took a deep breath and shook my head."No, I'm not fine," I confessed and tried to smile so that she couldn't be worried."What's wrong? How can I help?"She asked, and I felt the desperation in her voice. She wanted to help me feel better,she cared about how I felt."A hug will be just fine because it's something you can't control."I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly.She was surprised when she heard my words.However,her fac
