Duncan's POVI woke up when I feels that Alena woke up too. I frowned when I saw her slowly get up from the bed and get dressed. But what surprised me is that I felt the presence of another person. And that presence was very familiar to me. I suddenly feel that my chest seems heavy. I won't be mistaken about this person's presence because I knew her since we were young. Something came to my mind but I didn't want to accept it. I couldn't accept that a woman was able to fool me. And if my suspicions are true, I will not hesitate to kill her. I will let her know that fooling an alpha is a mistake that she shouldn't do.When the woman was about to turn to look at me, I quickly closed my eyes and pretended that I was still asleep. And when she left my room, I quickly got up from the bed and put on my clothes, then I hurried out of the room to follow her.I secretly followed Alena for almost half an hour before I saw her get inside a small hut inside the tall grasses. It is difficult to se
Helena's POVI slowly opened my eyes. I thought I was dead already but I'm not because the room I was in now was familiar to me. I was inside my room Duncan's house. The last thing I remember before I passed out was that someone suddenly kicked the door and came inside the hut to save me. In that case, Duncan was the person who saved me.I couldn't help but frown. Even though he saved me from certain death, that doesn't mean I already forgive him. I was sure that Duncan already knew Auria's other identity as Alena so he came to save me. But although I owe my life to him, I still won't forgive him easily. He gave me so much pain and I also almost die because of him. I rather stay far from him than stay beside him and put my life in danger.I looked at the door of my room when it opened and Duncan entered. I immediately turn to the other side of my bed because I don't want to see him. The pain he gave me was still fresh. The liters of tears that flow in my eyes because of him can't be b
Helena's POVI have mixed feelings as I walk away from Duncan's house. He finally let me go. But I felt joy and sadness at this moment. I am happy because I am finally free and will be able to find where my family is. But I also feel sad because I am sure that I will miss Duncan. No matter what he did to me I still love him. I love him but I want to find myself so I want to leave. And another thing is that I still haven't forgiven him for hurting me even though he was also a victim of Auria's manipulation. If that woman hadn't troubled me and Duncan, I would have asked for his help to find my family instead of leaving his house. Because I know that being alone in the forest and traveling with no company is very dangerous. But I have to be brave so I could find myself.I looked back at Duncan's house and I saw that he still looking at me with a sad face. I feels that I want to go back and hug him but I stopped myself. What he did to me was a strong reason for me to go and leave him.
Helena's POVI decided to stay with Aida's family first because I have nowhere else to go. I'm thankful that Aida's mother was kind and agreed to let me stay at their house for a while.I felt happy after my few days of staying at their house. I felt like I suddenly have a sister. Their neighbors were also kind so there was no problem if I stay longer in that place. But our quiet life was suddenly disturbed by a group of men who went to Aida's small village and forced the people to give their harvested crops to them."Who are they, Aida? Why are they asking about all the villager's crops when they don't live here in your village?" I asked curiously as we peeked into the small hole in her house. Because Aida's mother did not allow us to go out so all we could peek at and watch the villagers getting robbed by those men. "They are forest bandits, Helena. They are werewolves' bandits. They are very evil. They often come to our village to steal our harvested crops," Aida answered in a lo
Helena's PovAfter walking for almost a day, we finally reached the village where the forest bandits lived. The bandit's group leader immediately presented us to their alpha bandit."Helena, I'm afraid," Aida whispered softly in my ear as we stood inside a room and waited for the alpha bandits to enter the room."Me too Aida. I'm scared too but we need to show their alpha that we are not scared of him," I answered weakly to her. I could feel her body beside me trembling with fear. I hold her hand and pressed it. I just want her to not be scared and everything will be all right because that's what also I keep on telling to myself. When the leader that we were waiting enter the room, the group leader immediately made us kneel before their alpha's feet."Master, we have beautiful girls as a gift for your birthday," said the leader of the bandits who attacked Aida's village with a proud smile."Well done, Baldo. It's a good thing you brought these two girls. I'll gift them to the two al
Helena's PovDuncan didn't finish the fun and left with me. I didn't let Aida be left behind so I begged Duncan that if possible, he would also save her because she was my savior when I left his house. Duncan agreed to let us take Aida but he did not let her come with us because he let his men escort Aida back to her village.I felt a mixture of joy and sadness when Aida left. I'm happy because we're both safe but I'm a little bit sad because Aida and I are apart. I already considered her my sister. And one more thing, she was the only girl whom I can talk to because I have no woman to talk to in Duncan's house. I only see men so who can I talk to so-called "girl talk" only? But I felt more happiness than sadness. As long as I know that Aida is happy and is back safely with her mother, I am happy too. Hagur will no longer dare to attack Aida's village because the leader of the bandits promised Duncan that they will not attack and disturb Aida's village again.And as I promised myself
Helena's PovMany werewolves congratulated us after our wedding because many guests came. Alphas from different races of werewolves came just to join the happy occasion. I thought that we would be the only ones celebrating our wedding but it turned out I'm wrong. I only mingled with them for a while because I didn't know them and I couldn't ride in what they were talking about so I just decided to go inside our room and wait for my husband to enter. While I was waiting for Duncan, I didn't realize that I fell asleep.I was distracted when I felt someone lightly caressing my thigh. With my eyes closed, I held the hand of the person caressing my thigh who was none other than Duncan, and pulled him up so that our faces were level."Is the fun over?" I was talking to him with my eyes closed."Not yet. But I left them because I wanted to come and make love to you," answered Duncan. I just opened my eyes when I heard what he said."You shouldn't have left them," I told him.Duncan stroked m
Helena's PovI woke up a little late in the morning so I was alone in bed when I woke up. I stretched my hands first and then took a shower before leaving the room to look for Duncan.Duncan and I were married for almost a week and I can say that I feel very happy. I don't regret marrying him because he loves me so much. He makes me feel how much he loves me every day. He is sweet and considerate of me which I never thought he would do for me. Alpha Duncan has really changed a lot. And he changes into a better person.I was about to come out of the house when I heard Duncan's voice talking with two men. I saw Duncan smiling while talking to the two men."You're lucky, Alpha Duncan. You've got the power that many are fighting for. What's your secret, Alpha? Can share your luck with us?" I heard one of the two men ask my husband."Of course, first you must be good at flattering. And then, you should also be good at pretending," Duncan answered gamely, making the two in front of his laug
Helena's PovI was lying in the hospital bed when I open my eyes again for the second time. My mom quickly approaches me when she saw that I am awake."You're finally awake, Helena. How are you?" she asks me worriedly."Mom, can you accompany me to see Duncan, please? I want to see him," I beg her. My mother shakes her head."Duncan's fiancee transferred him to another hospital and we don't know what hospital that woman transferred him to."I suddenly felt tiny needles pricking my chest. Duncan has a fiancee? He never mentions to me that he already had a fiancee. "Mom, can you ask the doctor if I can go home now?" I suddenly ask my mom. I want to go home. I don't want to stay here anymore. Mom did what I asked her and since I look okay now so the doctor let me be discharged from the hospital after my mom pay the bill.I did nothing but rest after I got discharged from the hospital. Mom didn't allow me to go to school until my mental state and health are okay. I need to get better to
Helena's Pov I moaned weakly as I regained my consciousness. I slowly opened my eyes and wandered into the room where I was in. I'm inside a hospital again. I saw my brother in the corner leaning against the wall while sitting with his eyes closed and his laptop was still open on his lap. Maybe he was writing when he felt sleepy. My brother really likes to write so he carries his laptop wherever he goes.I was about to get up from bed but I suddenly winced when I felt a sting of a sharp object that seemed to stick to my hand. When I looked at what is it hurting me, only then I noticed that there is dextrose attached to my hand. I took a deep sigh. How many times I will wake up inside a hospital? What happened to me this time that I ended up again in the hospital?"Sister Helena! Thank God and you're finally awake!" my brother Jessie happily exclaimed when he woke up and see that I am already awake too. He immediately approached me and sat on the edge of the bed."What happened that
Achel's PovI have been in a daze looking for my friend Helena but I couldn't find her so I started to worry about her. After I earnestly asked the tree for a wish I notice that Helena was gone. She's no longer standing beside me. I looked all around for her but couldn't find her. I couldn't help but worry. She won't just leave me for no reason.I asked every person I met if they had seen a beautiful, tall, and slender woman walking alone. But whoever I asked, they only answered me by shaking their head which mean they didn't see Helena. "Helena, where have you been?" I said helplessly. I seemed to be about to cry from being so worried when I see a familiar man standing meters away from me and staring at me while frowning. "Calixto?" I weakly muttered his name."What happened to you, Achel? Why are you anxious and seemed worried?" Calixto asked me when he approach me."Calixto!" I said happily when I saw Duncan's right hand. I can ask him to help me find Helena."Why do you look li
HelenaI slowly opened my eyes and looked around me. I was inside a small hut and was sitting on a wooden chair with my hands tied behind my back and my two feet on the legs of the chair. The last thing I remembered before I fainted came back to my mind. I met Deron on the way as I was about to get near Achel's house. Then he sprinkled white powder on my face and then I immediately felt dizzy until I fainted.My hands were hurt when I tries to struggle to remove the tie. Deron is so tightly tied to my hands that no matter what I did, I cannot escape from him. I bite my lips when the rope cuts my flesh while trying my best to untie the rope. But the rope he used is not ordinary. It was sharp and cuts my skin once I move. If I continue struggling, I may end up injuring my hands or worst losing my two hands."You're awake, Helena. How are you? It's been a while since we've seen each other," Auria smiled at me as she entered the small hut. I didn't expect I will see her and form an ally
Helena's Pov"Are you looking for your death?!" Azul snorted angrily at Duncan as his eyes glared at him. But there is no sign of fear or intimidation on Duncan's face instead, anger can be seen on his face as his eyes narrowed.I just know now that there are still werewolves who don't recognize Duncan as Gran Alpha and that includes the three men in front of me. Or maybe these three just don't know Gran Alpha's looks that's why they acted this way. "Master, it looks like you need to make him taste your fist so he will be afraid of you. But he looks brave and stubborn," Azul's henchman said with a mocking smile as he lightly punched his right fist to his left palm."You're right. I have to show this troublemaker who the person he's fighting is," Azul answered arrogantly before running to Duncan and attacking him. But Duncan didn't even try to avoid Azul. He just gazed at the man and suddenly Azul stop running. He holds his neck as if someone invisible is straggling his neck. Azul's e
Helena's PovI temporarily forgot the pain in my heart when Achel took me into the town when the day of the love festival occurs. Every street was very busy. There are many sellers on the sides of the road, a circus that performs tricks and there are dancing women too. Everyone can choose where or which show they want to watch. But more people are in front of the wishing tree. Many single maidens and bachelors pray to the shining tree near the plaza. Different breeds of werewolves can be seen around. We don't know whether they are enemies or allies but we just went there to have fun and celebrate the festival of love."Everyone is having fun and smiling but you are the only one who is not happy, Helena," my friend commented when she noticed my expression. I was happy earlier but that happiness only last for about an hour. "I'm happy, Achel. Because I'm not smiling widely it doesn't mean that I'm not happy," I answered shaking my head. I force a slight smile on my face for my friend t
Helena's PovI am already inside my room when I regained my consciousness and Achel sitting beside me worriedly."Thank God and you finally wake up, Helena," Achel said happily when she saw I open my eyes."Achel," I called her name in a weak voice. My wound has been treated but I still feels pain. Or maybe it's just a psychological pain that I felt."What happened, Helena? You left here strong and unscathed but why when you come back you suddenly becomes weak and wounded? Who hurt you? Was it Duncan who did this to you?" Achel couldn't stop asking me questions.The wound in my heart rekindled when I remembered what happened at Duncan's house. The scene that I witnessed before Duncan and I got married happened again. My eyes clouded over until I couldn't hold on and started to cry."From now on, Duncan and I will no longer have any connection because I already paid him what I owes to him, Achel. He can have fun with every woman. I don't care anymore," I said to my friend in a firm v
Helena's PovI am already in my room at Achel's house when I regain consciousness. I immediately examined myself and discovered that I no longer felt on my body. Duncan healed me again. My debt to him has increased again. And I knew what he wants in return for saving my life once again because he already told me the last time he saved me.I was about to get up from the bed when the door suddenly opened and Achel entered while holding a tray of food in her hands. She immediately placed the food on the small table next to the bed and helped me get up."How are you feeling, Helena? Are you still feeling pain?" she asked me worriedly.I shook my head and slightly smiled at her. "Duncan has cured my wounds so I don't feel pain in my body anymore.""His power is amazing, Helena. He can heal any wounds just by touching his hand to your skin. And I was impressed by what he did to save you earlier," Achel said with a smile and showed admiration for Duncan.StartDuncan is very cruel. Even if
Helena's PovI couldn't stand it when I heard Nimfa's father threaten Apo Lakan so I went out of Achel's room to face Nimfa's relatives who rushed furiously to kill me. Even though I was the victim I'm still willing to accept the challenge to prove my innocence in front of them. I just prayed that my body would be able to withstand the thirty lashes of the whip."Don't involve innocent people in this matter, Neo. I accept your challenge even though the truth is that I am the victim here and not your daughter," I boldly spoke to Nimfa's father."If you hadn't returned to our pack, my daughter wouldn't have died!" Neo, Nimfa's father, shouted angrily at me."Why would I not come back when this is my place and my father is the alpha of our pack? And if your daughter hadn't tried to kill me for an insignificant man, she wouldn't have died that way. Someone gave justice for what your daughter did to me cause I can't do it by myself. I'm not heartless and evil just like your daughter who
