Two Mates and A Descendant Chapter 26
HAZEL The maids I’m passing by are speaking in hushed tones about the embarrassment and humiliation I endured at their hands and as usual, Cathy and Gwen are in the middle of the conversation. As they keep talking about it, the words pierce my heart like daggers and I can't help the pain I feel in that moment.It is at that moment I know — with a sinking feeling of inevitability — that I’m indeed the reason for the King’s return. My altercation with the maids didn’t go unnoticed because someone definitely reported the situation to him, and now, they will have to face the consequences of their actions, whatever that may be. I just hope it’s not something too drastic because I won’t be able to stomach that if it happens. ***Now, I’m alone in my room and I’m completely surrounded by the deafening silence of my thoughts. I wrestle with the weight of the impending visit from the king. I can hear the rest of the people in the pack house buzzing about with excitement and anticipation, an

HAZELJust like a mechanical contraption, my body has become used to working day and night, and I have taught myself to make it bearable. It feels like with each completed chore, I’m getting bonus life points.That’s what I like to think, anyway. I hear the other maids chattering. None of the other higher ups are with us, and so our workplace is lively. I turn my head to see two maids whose names I have never learned, giving me dirty looks.No wonder I was feeling evil eyes on me. I stare at them, causing them to look away out of embarrassment before I continue with my activities.My mind is roaming all around the place. Perhaps it will be nice to have someone to talk to while working, to keep me company, but nobody seems to want any more than a few sentences at most with me, and I honestly don’t want to be friends with them either. I shake off the feeling of abandonment as I think about the king who had come on to me.Twice too!I felt like it was a prank or something at first, becau

HAZELI’m going to my room when I hear the commotion. “What is going on?” I see some girls looking out of the window in the corridor and I go and have a look at what they’re immersed in too. The full head of hair lets me know who it is already, and all I can hope is that the king has not come back for me or something like that. The last rejection should have been loud enough for his majesty.I hear him laugh at something and decide that I have already had enough. I have been sleepy for a while, anyway.Leaving the maids behind, I slip into my room, trying my best to block out the sounds of cheer from below. Of course, everyone is happy when the king visits, I think scornfully.Closing the door, I immediately immerse myself in the soft caress of my bed, enjoying the peace I have been looking forward to all day. I need a moment of peace away from the bustling energy of the rest of the pack house.With a tired sigh, I pull my comforter onto the bed, and I feel a small burst of happine

HAZELUsually, when I am given a day off, I use it to sleep in, or maybe take a walk around the kingdom for my leisure, but today is different.I put my hair up with a ribbon and tie it in place, wondering if my questions would ever stop. I have tried so hard to return to those strange dreams after the last one, but all my attempts have been futile.I know that I tried to make myself think that the dreams do not matter, and that people have weird dreams all the time, but there’s something in me that wants me to try to do more research and see what this is all about.It’s my day off for the month today, and I know a woman who can help me with what I need to know.“Hazel!” I hear the voice of the taskmaster, and I know that does not usually mean anything good for me, but I just turn around to answer him.“Where do you think you’re going?” he thunders, and his eyes seem to be shooting flames.“It’s my day off today, beginning from this month. It’s marked on the roster too,” I tell him sim

HAZELIt's already dark now, and I'm wondering if I should have spent the night at Ladia's. The way back is empty— sure, it has always been empty, but it looks even more sinister now. And I can hear the low cries of different animals, which I know I won't be strong enough to fight if they come out to me.I hear rustling in the bushes at the front, and no matter how silly I can ever be, I have heard enough stories to know not to go any further than I already am. There could be a wild beast, or even worse waiting in there for me to dare to pass through.A shudder passes through my spine as I think about the wolf that was chasing me in one of my dreams. Only, this time it's real life and I cannot sprout wings to fly to safety.I turn back and start walking away quickly. The fear that if I run, I'll alert the instincts of something bigger than me and cause it to chase me keeps me walking at a steady pace until I get back to the cottage. "I was expecting you," Ladia says with a smug look o

HAZELI’m enjoying my free time looking outside and watching insects move, perching on the flowering plants in one of the gardens when I hear some of the assistant taskmasters say something about how happy they are to see the kings. Kings?Maybe the word slipped and he meant to say king, I think to myself and continue with my leisure activity.“Because why will the kings be coming here?” I mutter, feeling sick to my stomach.I get up and go inside, not wanting to be reminded of any of the kings in particular when I hear some people whispering about the kings.“The kings are coming!” one girl squeals.“Which kings?” the other one asks.“The twin kings! They are so handsome!” The first one sighs dreamily, and I find myself rolling my eyes in annoyance. “Bold of them to call my mates handsome,” I mutter, hating the jealousy under my breath.I can’t talk about them to anyone else in the first place, because there is no one to talk to about my mates, and secondly, it’s a complicated thing
Two Mates and A Descendant Chapter 32
HAZEL“I didn’t bump into you. I walked past you, and I even said excuse me!” I try to defend myself to this random girl before moving on, and Cathy happens to be coming towards us and she hears the remarks that the girl made.“Oh, our darling Hazel? She thinks that she’s too good for anyone, princess, and on top of all that, she rejected the king.” Cathy puts her hands on my shoulder and smiles like a creep.“That’s her problem because the kings are coming here to see my uncle and I will charm my way into their hearts!” the girl who claimed that I bumped into her says, and I wonder why she’s telling me all this.“Okay, but that’s not my business.” I turn around to leave, but Cathy pushes me back.“You can’t be rude to her. Apologize for insulting the king!” Cathy says with a sneer that I want to smack off her face.“And for bumping into me!” the girl says, and I fight the urge to roll my eyes.“I’m sorry for what you said I’ve done,” I say simply and walk away from them. Their combine
Two Mates and A Descendant Chapter 33
HAZELPRESENT DAYWord had reached us earlier that the visit of the kings would be delayed for a while due to some issues. We weren’t told how long— in fact, we were not really told at all. We just took it as a word of gossip and followed it along regardless. We also were not told why, and for a brief second, my gut clenches as I think of the king being held back because he has to see a woman that he fancies. My jealousy turns into anger as I remember his suggestion, asking me to be his mistress.“Waiting for your king?” a maid comes up to ask me, and I am surprised because they seem to have ostracized me before this.“No, and he’s not my king,” I reply begrudgingly.“Alright, whatever you say. Let’s just hope that they solve the problem of the rogues because we are tired of having them deal so much damage to so many packs.” My blood runs cold and I turn to her. “Rogues? They have not entered our pack, have they?”The maid shakes her head as her brows creases in a frown. “I don’t kno
