Fated To The Cursed Werewolf King

Someone had tried to steal her vision, and now Anita was talking about a stalker she had supposedly sent because she was curious about Ethan’s love life.

None of it made sense.

Hazel slowly turned toward Rita, who gave her a small nod.

That was when she understood.

They had to play along. It was becoming obvious that someone was deliberately using Light Witches to create trouble between Rita and Caius. If Caius discovered that a Light Witch had been involved in the attempt to steal Hazel’s ability, he might turn against the entire race. Whoever was behind this wanted exactly that.

Hazel sighed in frustration.

How annoying!

She folded her arms and walked elegantly toward Anita, who was still kneeling on the floor. ”Since we’re already talking about this...” Hazel paused in front of her. ”Stand up.”

Anita looked up at her with a displeased expression.

For a moment, she didn’t move. Then she scoffed and slowly stood up.

Who does she think she is?

Anita glanced at Hazel’s face, clearly unhappy about being ordered around.

Hazel raised her chin. ”From today onward, you will be my personal maid.”

Anita froze.

She looked around as though she was waiting for someone to tell her that Hazel was joking. When nobody said anything, she pointed at herself. ”Me?”

Hazel smiled.”Yes, you.”

Anita’s face darkened. ”Why would I—”

”What will you do about it?” Hazel interrupted, taking a small step closer. ”Your so-called stalker almost assaulted me before I killed him. And since you’re such a saint who wants to take responsibility for everything, then so be it.”

She tilted her head and looked Anita up and down. ”Who do you think I am? A good person?”

Anita opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Hazel smiled again. She was beginning to enjoy this. After everything she had experienced, she was tired of pretending to be nice to people who didn’t deserve it. She had spent so much time trying to be understanding, forgiving others, and giving people the benefit of the doubt, only to end up being hurt.

From now on, she would decide who deserved her kindness. Not everyone was entitled to it.

Alexander ”Caius trait is working in the wrong way on Hazel,” he whispered to Ethan.

Ethan didn’t even bother looking at him.

Alexander shook his head. He had never imagined that the day would come when Hazel would be the one making people nervous inside the palace. She was beginning to look more like Caius than anyone had expected.

Caius, however, didn’t seem bothered. He simply stood up from his throne and looked at Hazel. ”So be it.”

With those words, he turned around and started leaving the hall.

Ethan immediately followed him, and Alexander had no choice but to follow as well.

Anita clenched her fists as she watched them leave. She had expected Caius to stop Hazel, but he had done nothing.

In fact, he had agreed!

She turned toward Hazel, her face filled with anger. ”You—”

Smack!

Before she could finish speaking, Hazel slapped her.

Anita’s head turned to the side, and she stood there in shock, one hand slowly moving toward her cheek.

Hazel looked at her own fingers and blew on them. ”oh sorry. Your new master isn’t kind.”

Janet almost burst into laughter, while Akeelah covered her mouth mocking Anita.

Hazel didn’t even look at them had been dying to play the bad guy for a long time, and now she finally had a reason.

Back in her old pack, she had done nothing but care about others. She had even begged her father to give the guards extra food whenever she noticed they were hungry. She had believed that treating people kindly would make them appreciate her.

But what had happened? Those same people had looked down on her, believed lies about her, and treated her like she was worthless. Even the guards who had once received her kindness had changed their attitude toward her.

She had spent so much time trying to please people who didn’t even care about her.

That experience had taught her something important.

Caring too much could make people value you less. Forgiving too often could leave you with more pain than happiness, and sometimes, you would only understand how badly someone had treated you after it was too late.

She wasn’t going to make the same mistake again.

She would be kind to those who deserved it and harsh to those who tried to hurt her. There was nothing wrong with protecting herself.

Hazel turned around and started walking away. ”Go and bring me food.”

She didn’t even bother telling Anita where she was going or what kind of food she wanted.

Anita remained where she was, staring at Hazel’s back with clenched fists.

Janet and Akeelah quickly followed Hazel, both trying their best not to laugh. Once they were gone, Rita slowly sat down on one of the royal chairs and released a tired sigh.

This was exactly what those people wanted.

They wanted to create a war between the Light Witches and the Werewolf King. They had used Anita’s little story to make Doris look innocent while hiding the real reason behind the attack.

If Hazel hadn’t understood what was happening, things could have turned out very differently.

Rita rubbed her forehead. She really didn’t want to imagine what Caius would do if he discovered the truth without knowing the full story.

Azula walked over and sat beside her. ”What are you going to do about it?”

Rita stared at the empty throne for a moment. ”I don’t know,” she replied quietly. ”But whoever is behind did this intentionally”

Azula raised an eyebrow. ” You don’t know? you sure?”

Rita looked toward the doors Hazel had just walked through. ” I don’t know why she suddenly switched to help the enemies”

They want to use Hazel to start a war between them

She sighed again. ”I will deal with Lydia myself.”
