The Witch, Hagar

Masha's tears did not stop as she ran out of the room, her hand still holding her cheek. She still could not believe the Alpha prince had slapped her; her so-called husband. How could he? All because she talked back at him?

For a long time, she was frustrated and didn't know where to go. So, she stood at the balcony, still crying and hiding her face from the few servants that walked pass. After a while, she deemed it necessary to get a room to sleep. But there was no way she was going back there to Czar. And she couldn't go to the king either to request for a room.

It was a difficult decision, but finally, she went for Arabella's room and was thankful when she opened up.

"Masha?" Arabella called with surprise as she held the door open.

She was more fuddled when she noticed Masha in tears.

"What in the name of Selene! Are you crying?"

It triggered Masha's emotions and she bursted into more tears. Arabella was taken abacked.

"Come on; come here", she cooed and pulled her into a hug.
