~Luciano~"Hazel, open your! Don't you dare die without my permission!"I warned her but she didn't respond. Her eyes were closed and her body was unmoving but tears continued to flow from her eyes.She looked so fragile in my arms.Her face was so pale and I couldn't help it but worry."Hades, contact my doctor and tell him to come to the castle right now!''I told my betta and he nodded to my words. I pulled Hazel close to my chest and hugged her so tightly and walked out of the hospita hurriedly l with her in my arms.I ran into the woods because the distance would be long if we used the road.I shifted into wolf form and ran with my hind limbs.Liam howled, holding Hazel so tightly close to his body and protecting her from the overgrown branches. I arrived at the castle in my wolf form and walked straight into my room.I placed the fragile half-breed on the bed and shifted back to my human form."Hazel, can you hear me?"I tried to call her but she didn't respond to my question. I touch

~Luciano~I walked back to my room and found Gamma and Monalisa watching over Hazel."Have you found out everyone responsible for Hazel's poisoning?"Gamma asked me and a deep sigh escaped from my lips."It's complicated, I think there should be more investigation to be carried out. Hilda lied to me that it's my bro, Mark."I ran my fingers through my shoulder length hair and held onto it so tightly as though doing so would solve half of my problems."You can go and have some rest. We will look into the matter tomorrow. Whoever is the culprit, he/she will pay for it!"I told my Gamma and he nodded at my words."Call me in case something comes up, "Jonas told me and I smiled at him, showing him how grateful I was for his help. I was thankful for having such supportive people that surrounded me.I sat on the wooden chair at the edge of the bed and looked at Hazel. I grabbed her hand and gave it a small squeeze."I promise that I'm going to find someone who is responsible and make them pay f

~Luciano~I clenched my hands into tight fists, restraining myself from punching the old man across the face because he was pissing me off."I don't have all day, Nikolai. You better go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush!"I said through gritted teeth and his lips curved into a smile."The half-breed deserves death, Luciano. I didn't care about her that much but when she stepped on my lane, I decided to place her where she belongs."The old man said and I couldn't help but wonder what the hell he was talking about."You're such a coward, Nikolai. You used the cowardly way because you knew that your plans wouldn't succeed if you used physical strength."The corner of my lips curved into a dim smile and I brushed hair strands from my face."There are so many ways to kill a rat, Luciano. I know you are young and you don't know why I did what I did. Now let me tell you because it seems like your father never mentioned anything to you about what we agreed on before he passe

~Hazel~I blinked countless times to get rid of the blurry vision. I tried to toss on the comfortable bed but a strong arm held me in place.I tilted my head upwards to look at Luciano who was still sleeping peacefully, half of his face was covered with his jet-black hair and I smiled at the sight.The smile on my lips faded when many thoughts popped into my head. I couldn't help but get worried when I imagined one day watching him hold someone else's hand.I blinked countless times to hold back tears. I already knew what I caught myself into the day his d*ck went deep inside me.My heart ached when I gave it a thought. I know it would not last and that's why I don't want to get addicted to him because it would be painful to let go when that time comes.But…how am I supposed to de-touch myself from him when I'm already stuck to him like glue?A deep sigh escaped my lips and I tried to pull his hand slowly from my waist so that I could sneak out like what I did last time we had sex."Wh

~Hazel~I tossed on the bed for the millionth time. I tried to close my eyes and get some sleep but I couldn't. There was an alien feeling that invaded my heart and I couldn't shake it away no matter how much I was trying to."Why is Luciano taking too long to come back to our room?" I mumbled under my breath.I climbed down off the bed, slipped into Luciano's big slippers nearby and headed for the door.I tried to open it but all my efforts were in vain,he had locked it from the outside. A deep sigh of defeat escaped my lips and I went back to bed.I couldn't fall asleep without Luciano beside me.I think I had grown too close to him. I wanted to know what he had found out about the attack too.When I was about to stand up and bang on the door so that anyone passing by could open it for me, the door clicked open and Luciano walked in.He looked so pissed off, his hair was a mess and I could easily tell that he raked it a couple of times. I couldn't help but frown at the sight.He walked
