    Years Ago:


    "You took her near those people?" she yelled after she couldn''t stay silent for another minute.


    "And what is wrong with that?" ric asked, looking at her daughter next, "Go to your room, kiddo. I will


    come in a minute and read you a bedtime story, okay?" ric put a huge smile on his lips when talking


    to Enya, who, by that time, had stopped crying. Enya gave a nod to her father, and after collecting the


    teddy from the floor, she shed past them to her room.


    "Do you have an ounce of decency left in your body? Why the hell were you taking your anger out on


    our daughter?" ric straightened his back to mutter the words at Hazel.


    "Because you took her to that pack. Do you know how Shaun will react when he finds out you have


    been sympathizing with them?" Hazel didn''t shout this time, but her words were mixed with emotions


    whening out of her mouth.


    "He cannot control us like that. We have done everything he has ever asked us. But now he is


    interrupting how we teach Enya. I want her to sympathize with others, not be coldblooded


    murderers like us," ric said, as he shook his head at Hazel.


    "You think I''m a coldhearted murderer?" Hazel asked and broke down before she could get an answer


    from him.


    “That''s what we have be. We are backing up murderers and torturing these little kids. When they


    all grow up, they wille for our daughter." ric yelled in a muffled tone. Trying to tell Hazel off was


    never easy.


    “And I am already doing everything in my power to escape that situation. Do you think we are safe if we


    go against the Alpha King?" Hazel reluctantly approached him and held his hand. He didn''t back away


    from her, so it gave her enough courage to submit to his chest. She rested her head on his chest, and


    he calmed down only a little bit.


    “Now tell me, what else did you do?" She asked him politely, and that''s when he broke the hug and


    pushed her away with a disgusting look on his face.


    “You are only trying to get the information out of me. You think I told someone the whole truth about


    how we all are involved in snatching the parents away from that miserable kid?” ric yelled once he


    realized his beloved wife was trying to use him just so she could get information out of him.


    “I am— am only worried. If you told anyone and Shaun found out, we are all dead. Why don''t you


    understand we are stuck in this mess? I cannot step away after offering them help for so long.” She


    also raised her voice at him out of exhaustion.


    “Then how far are we going to keep doing the dirty job for him? Will Shaun control Enya’s fate too?


    Obviously, he will. He will have this power over us where he can make us listen to him.


    We will stay imprisoned to him and that means Enya too will suffer with us," ric yammered as he


    sobbed a little. He felt the walls closing in on him every time he realized there was no way out of this


    mess for them.


    "Ju—st calm down, okay? It is all too fresh. Once the whole storm calms down, we will be able toe


    up with a n to get out of this mess," Hazel lied to him. So far, she didn''t n to leave Shaun''s side.


    Why would she?


    She got lucky. The respect and status she got at the party that night became another reason she didn''t


    want to leave this style of living anymore.


    “Really? You are thinking about running away from this mess." With some trepidation, ric inquired.


    "Yes! Ye—s!" She nodded, stammering and not even able to make eye contact with him.


    "I don''t know how much I can trust you with this piece of news." ric refused to believe her, and


    rightfully so. Even Hazel could tell she had lost the trust ric once had in her.


    “After everything, tell me if it is worth ruining our rtionship for," ric whispered as he defeatedly sat


    down on the couch.


    “ric! It is fine. It will be fine. You just need to stop feeling guilty every two seconds. We don''t know


    those kids: we don''t need to know them. Our entire focus should be on our daughter." Hazel sat down


    with him and spoke softly this time. She didn’t want to trigger him and lose him.


    “And what if somebody thinks the same about our daughter and tries to ruin her life?" He asked,


    slouching down, his eyes stuck in space.


    "They won''t be able to hurt her. She has a powerful mother, a very loving father, and a Royal Alpha


    King avable to shield her. That''s why I am keeping my rtionship good with Shaun. When it is time,


    I will get help from him for Enya’s better future," she said confidently while reaching for her husband’s


    hand, who didn''t back away this time.


    "Please! After this, promise me we will not do it ever again?" ric turned to her, and she faintly


    nodded, giving him a sweet smile. Her phone rang, drawing her attention away from her friend. She


    stared at the caller ID and then answered the call with a bit of a frown. ric watched a frown appear


    on her forehead. Shaun usually never calls at this time, and since they had been together at the party


    not even hours ago, there seemed to be no reason for him to blow up her phone.


    "Hey! I have arrived home, your highness,” Hazel said over the phone, assuring him she was fine.


    "I know; I spoke to the driver. I have called you for another reason,” he said from the other side of the


    call.


    "What is it?" She inquired, fearful that he would abandon her with anotherrge project and that she


    would have another big fight with ric, who needed some time before they returned to their ways.


    "It is about Enya!" The fake smile on Hazel’s face vanished as Shaun told her what he wanted to be


    done.
