The King's Unbreakable Wife
“I cannot come to you with my problems when you have the weight of the kingdom on your shoulders. I would rather suffer in silence so I do not bother the king-” “Your husband,” Tobias corrected Hazel, placing his hands on her shoulders to comfort her as her eyes filled with tears. It pained him that he had not noticed how much the palace had been slowly breaking her. “I am your husband first. Do not hide your sadness from me,” he said, wiping away a single tear that slipped away with his thumb. … Hazel Wallace never thought she would make it far when she was picked to enter the selection for the next queen. In a surprise turn of events, she finds herself tangled up with the future king, Tobias Castro. Hazel once thought she would be strong enough to survive living in the palace walls. As queen and with Tobias by her side, she had nothing to fear. That was until the crown was placed on her head. Soon she realised the dangers in the palace and how not even the queen was safe from scheming men and women. Each day she spent in the palace, Hazel felt like a piece of her was slowly breaking away. Eventually, Hazel wanted nothing more than to run out of the palace, but after betrayals from people she thought she could trust, Hazel sought to become the person she was before entering the palace and get revenge on those who sought to take away her crown.

"I didn't throw it at you like you were the enemy. You threw it at me like you forgot I am your wife. At least I know now why you were successful in your fights. How fitting that I need ice for the wound," Hazel said, placing the snow Tobias wrapped up in a handkerchief on her arm.
"Still, it was fun. I might consider doing it again once this bruise stops hurting. This time, I will not go easy on you."
"I think we've had enough of fighting in snow," Tobias said, foreseeing them arguing should he throw another at her. "We can go back outside to build something after you eat. I wouldn't have minded bringing Sofia along. She and my mother had a small disagreement."
