ETHAN The morning sun cast a warm glow across the dining hall as we sit down for breakfast, but it paled in comparison to the light in Hazel's eyes. Arnold and I exchange excited glances, barely able to contain our enthusiasm for the news we have to share with her. “Hey, love, we have some thrilling news!” Arnold exclaims, unable to contain his excitement any longer. “What is it?” Hazel asks, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she took a sip of her tea. “We just received an invitation to a party being hosted by an old friend of ours.” I say, unable to hide the grin spreading across my face. “A party?” Hazel repeats, her voice filled with excitement. “Yes, darling, a party!” Arnold confirms, his enthusiasm infectious. “And the best part is, we're all invited!” “Oh, that sounds wonderful!” Hazel exclaims, her heart racing with excitement. “Yes, indeed, my love.” I replies, nodding eagerly. “It's going to be a magical night, and we wouldn't dream of going without you.” Hazel's
HAZELAs we reach the palace, we share a tender kiss under the moonlight, knowing that our love will only continue to grow stronger with each passing day. And as we drifted off to sleep, I knew that I would cherish the memories of this night for the rest of my days. After the party winds down and the guests begin to depart, Ethan and I find ourselves sitting together in a quiet corner of the ballroom, enjoying a moment of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the festivities. “That was quite the party, wasn't it?” Ethan says, a smile playing at the corners of his lips as he sips on his drink. “It was amazing.” I reply, a contented sigh escaping my lips as I lean back in my chair. “I haven't had that much fun in ages.” “Me neither.” Ethan agrees, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “But I have to admit, dancing with you was definitely the highlight of my night.” “You're just saying that.” I tease, a playful grin spreading across my face. “I'm serious, Hazel.” Ethan sa
HAZEL Ever since our appearance at the last ball, we have been getting many more invites, and I never thought that I would ever find myself being this excited to go and have fun at a party. One of my maids pops her head through my door. “Your highness.” She says with a small smile. “Let me guess, another invitation?” I ask, and the maid nods. “It looks like they really like you over there.” She says as she hands it to me, and I open it. “No, it’s just how it is because we are royals.” I say, and the maid shakes her head before looking at the other maid. “You didn’t tell her majesty?” The maid asks, and the other shakes her head. “Tell me what?” I ask. “Well, king Arnold doesn’t always go to events unless they are important, and the invitations never came in again.” The first maid says, and I shake my head. “Yeah!” The second maid says. “But ever since you all went on that other one, things have been going really well. Do you like going to balls your majesty
HAZELThe thought of attending a ball sends a flutter of excitement through me. It's like a breath of fresh air, a chance to escape the worries and responsibilities that weigh on my shoulders. And maybe my mind would be taken away from those issues, if only for a while. The twins, Ethan and Arnold, have noticed my newfound happiness, and they're delighted to see me happy. As we discuss what to wear, I suggest that we coordinate our outfits. “Let's match. It would be so cool.” I say with a grin, imagining us as a trio, united in style. Arnold's eyes light up at the idea. “I love it! It'll be like we're a team.” He smiles before giving me a kiss on my forehead, his enthusiasm contagious. The memory of what we did comes to me, and my cheeks burn. Ethan nods in agreement, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. “I'm all for it. Plus, it'll make us stand out even more.” He adds with a smirk playing on his lips. We spend hours poring over our wardrobes with designers, trying on
HAZELI wake up with a flutter of excitement in my chest. Today is the day of the ball, and I can hardly contain my happiness. I've been looking forward to this for weeks, and now that it's finally here, I can't help but feel a sense of anticipation bubbling inside me. The sun is just beginning to rise as I roll out of bed, and I can hear the faint sounds of birds chirping outside my window. It's a beautiful day, and I can't wait to see what the ball has in store for me. As I make my way to the bathroom, I'm greeted by the cheerful faces of the maids assigned to my room. They're already bustling about, preparing for the day ahead, and I can't help but smile at their enthusiasm. “Good morning, your majesty!” One of them chirps, her voice filled with excitement. “Good morning!” I reply, returning her smile. “I can't believe the day is finally here!” The maids giggle at my excitement, their voices filling the room. They set to work, starting with a delicious breakfast to fuel me
HAZELThe ballroom is alive with music and laughter as the guests, including Arnold, Ethan, and myself, mingle and dance. The air is filled with the sweet scent of flowers and the sound of soft murmurs, creating an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. As the music swells, Arnold and Ethan stand up, offering their hands to me in unison. "Shall we dance, Hazel?" Arnold asks, his eyes sparkling with excitement.I smile back at them, feeling a rush of happiness fill my chest. "Of course!" I reply, taking their hands in mine. Together, we make our way to the center of the dance floor, surrounded by other couples twirling and swaying to the music. As we begin to dance, I feel a sense of connection with Arnold and Ethan that goes beyond words. The music wraps around us like a warm embrace, and I lose myself in the rhythm, moving effortlessly with my twin mates."You two are amazing dancers, I thought you would have fallen over by now." I remark, unable to hide my admiration. Arnol
HAZELMy heart races like a wild horse as I find myself trapped in a nightmare come to life. Alpha Hunter looms over me, his presence suffocating, his intentions dark and sinister. Every single thing in me screams to run, to fight, but his grip on my arm is like an iron vice, holding me in place against the cold, unforgiving wall. Fear coils in my belly like a serpent, its icy grip paralyzing me as I stare into his eyes, dark pools of malice and hunger. His breath reeks of alcohol, and the stench fills my nostrils, making bile rise in the back of my throat. I struggle against him, but it's like trying to break free from the jaws of a predator. “Please! W-what do you want?” I manage to choke out, my voice trembling with fear. Alpha Hunter's lips curl into a cruel smile, his eyes glinting with malicious intent. “What do I want?” He repeats, his voice dripping with menace. “I want you, my dear. And I always get what I want.” His words send a shiver down my spine, and I can feel
HAZEL The grand ball is over, the music has faded, and the guests have dispersed. I'm back in my room now, but the memory of that encounter with Alpha Hunter lingers like a haunting vision, one that is refusing to fade away. I shudder as I remember the fear that gripped me, the feeling of being trapped in Hunter’s suffocating presence. I sink onto the edge of my bed, my heart still pounding erratically in my chest. If it weren't for Arnold and Ethan, I don't know if I would have made it through that ordeal. Their timely arrival was like a ray of hope piercing through the darkness, pulling me back from the darkness and the fear. But in spite of their heroic intervention, I can't shake the feeling of terror that has settled deep within me. The memory of Alpha Hunter's cruel smile, his menacing words, sends shivers down my spine. I feel violated, as if his presence has tainted every part of my being. I wrap my arms around myself, seeking comfort in the solitude of my room. The walls
