Chapter 188 - Took So Long!

When Hazel walked out of the room, her heart finally slowed down. She was feeling like she would just die with the pressure she was feeling there.

She took a deep breath to loosen her nerves as she continued to walk.

"My lady!" Hermlin bowed her head but he was looking rather embarrassed in front of the girl. His father gave him a short summary of their condition right now. 

As much as he felt bad for the dilemma of the girl, he did not know any advice or suggestions to give her and he felt equally bad for both Alex and Richard. They were more like family to him rather than Alpha and Beta!

"Last night I was so confused that I forgot to ask, what happened to Elie?" It has been around a week. If she had shown any improvement.

The man sighed but shook his head.

"I am trying my best, my lady!" Hazel nodded as she had never doubted it. She was just worried about the girl

"By the way another maid had come here telling she was here for you! Shall I call her to assist you while you are living here?" he asked in a soft voice and she remembered the maid who had come to kill them but told the truth and asked for forgiveness.

Richard had told her that she would stay here until they came back. She nodded her head and the man left with another nod.

Soon the maid came with an excited look on her face. Her eyes widened but then filled with joy and relief when she saw hazel standing by the window.

"My lady! I was not expecting you here so soon!" she admitted as she bowed her head with vigor.

"I am here for some work and will return in a while. Would you make breakfast for all of us?" replied hazel in a soft voice. 

She could only hope that they were done with their conversation and things would be better when she would see them again though she knew that the chances of it were very less.

"Yes! I will make a special meal for the couple!" the girl replied in a chirpy voice as she bowed her head and left hurriedly with excitement without giving a chance to hazel to correct her.

Hazel sighed when she realized she did not even know how to explain her situation to others! All she could do was to wait for a miracle to happen.

"Hermlin! Would you do me a favor?" She was surprised that the man had not left even when he was looking at her with a red gaze as if he was very embarrassed in front of her.

"Yes, my lady!" Whether she was Luna or not, she was still part of the pack and she did not need to ask for anything.

"Would you go and inform both of them breakfast would be served in a few minutes. I need some time to myself?" without saying a word he nodded and left from there.

Walking towards the room she used to stay in before, she plopped on the bed exhausted.

She felt like her whole body was breaking apart and so was her soul. 

"Would you like a warm bath, my lady?" She opened her eyes only to see the girl who used to serve her before. She was looking at her with worried eyes.

Hazel was sure even she knew what happened! Everyone knew what happened!

"Yes, that would be appreciated!" Hazel stood up and followed the girl to the bathroom.

Letting go of her clothes she entered the bathtub. The warm water gives her sore muscles.

She closed her eyes and let herself lay in there for a while. It felt like her life had been no less than a suspense novel these days and also a trashy one! 

"Everything would be fine my lady. I am sure you will find your happiness soon!" the girl messaged her shoulders and whispered soft words in the ears of hazel and soon hazel started to relax.

She didn't know if she would find her happiness or not. She only wants Alex to forgive her and find another girl so that he could lead a happy life too.

And she wanted to have strength to face his eyes all the time since they were going to be a family. She was going to be his sister in law, not his mate!

"You should not stay in water for that long, my lady?" Hazel opened her eyes and saw her body that had started to form wrinkles. Her hands had shrunk and she sighed! 

Walking out of the water, she wore a fresh dress and the girl made her hair and face presentable. Her pale face and dark eyes were hidden well by the make up and once she was done, she was looking like a fresh and confident girl.

"Shall I escort you to the breakfast table?" asked the girl but Hazel shook her head.

She had never been this weak and she would not be weak in the future too.

"I will go by myself. Thank you!" She stood up and gave one last look to herself in the mirror as she left the room.

When she reached the dining room Alex and Richard were already sitting there. But what surprised her was they were talking amiably and having a conversation normally as if nothing was wrong.

They both turned their heads to look at her when she entered with a smile.

"Ah, you are finally here! I thought I was going to starve to death today!"  Alex exaggerated and Richard rolled his eyes as he finally started filling three plates like a good elder brother. 

While he was sitting at the seat of the head, Alex was sitting on his left, so Hazel walked and took the seat on the right side with a blank look on her face,

"You took so long to come, sister in law!"
