Helena’s P.O.V. Everyone was happy due to the upcoming ceremony in the Palace, but I started feeling weird all of a sudden. My hunger vanished, my back ached without much strenuous activity, I was constantly worried about my Kingdom’s betterment day and night. Although Uncle Desmond had tackled all the official matters in Royal’s absence, the reports of war’s destruction had left me restless. Zayden noticed my lack of interest in our daily crazy sex routine and questioned me, “Are you back to your boring self, Luna? Come on, it’s our first year of mating.” I took a deep breath and told him about my reservations. “How can you act so cool after seeing many wars, Zayn? What about the families of dead warriors? Did they forgive you for sending dead bodies to their houses?” My mate’s handsome countenance lost its color as the shadows of the past clouded his eyes; his voice sounded deeper than usual. “People tend to say plenty of hurtful words when they are hurt. I have h
Helena’s P.O.V. “Please write Helena and Zayden on the cake, Mr. Max.” The bakery owner was arguing for the past five minutes to write Alpha and Luna on the cake instead. I wasn’t a Luna yet; the love of my Pack mates really warmed my heart. “It’s your second wedding anniversary, Luna Helena. Alpha will arrange a Luna Ceremony soon.” Old Max blessed me with countless best wishes and eventually agreed to accept my request. It was an intimate moment for me and my perfect husband, Alpha Zayden, how could I add worldly positions to ruin this. I was planning to buy a nice present after ordering the cake, but Beta Alex informed me. “Luna Helena, Alpha is calling you to the office.” “Such an impatient man!” Zayden’s husky whispers from breakfast echoed in my mind, his lovely gestures made me forget to tell him about my failing health. “I will ask Liam for an appointment with the Head doctor.” My twin brother Liam was studying medicine in a college, his skill in medicinal techniques
Helena's P.O.V.“This is an arranged marriage. Don’t expect me to behave like a traditional husband!”.“You are indeed a good administrator, Luna Helena. I admire your intelligence.”.“I don’t know when, but your love has taken over my heart. I would like to spend my whole life with you, Helly.”.These scenes of our two years of marriage were flashing before my eyes, laughing at me in the darkness of the death cell. Being married to an Alpha was challenging, not to mention my mighty husband, Alpha Zayden Ellsworth, whose name was the epitome of power and control.Keeping up with his regal taste as a wolf-less partner was difficult, it took me a long time to win Zayden’s favor. Gradually, my dedication found its way to his heart, he fell in love with me. We were even planning to have a baby!On the night of my second wedding anniversary, I was lying on the silver floor of the prison, shuffling my memory to find a single day when I didn’t work hard to prove myself. “A daughter of a s
Zayden’s P.O.V.Firstly, Helena’s problem and now, an unexpected rogue’s attack fucked my brain, I had to regulate warriors by myself to defeat them. How on earth did they grow strong despite all the restrictions?Anyhow, I returned to my office to deal with an unending heap of files alone, my Beta Alex was still busy with the border affairs. The heavenly aroma of coffee greeted me there, soothing my tensed muscles. I picked up that cup from the table and took a sip and coughed uncontrollably.“What the Hell! Is it coffee or candy?”The duty guard, Allen, came into my office immediately.“What’s your command, Alpha?”I banged that cup on the table.“Who made this coffee?”He bowed his head in respect.“I did, Alpha.”His simple response skyrocketed my anger, I yelled at him. “Why did you touch my coffee mug? Go and ask Helly…”As soon as Helly’s name slipped out of my tongue, a realization hit me hard.Helena was in prison on murder charges!I pushed my fury aside, and walked towards
Helena's P.O.V.“What did you do to my brother?”My words came out as a shriek, the murderous glint in Sylvia’s eyes sank my heart. Liam was too innocent to defend himself against that vicious woman.“Not yet! But unfortunately, many things can happen to that human mutt, Helena. You know that he even tried to argue with Zayn for you.”She giggled, savoring the memory in her mind.“One punch! All it took was one punch to silence that childish opposition. He was lucky enough that Zayn aimed for his mouth; otherwise, you can imagine what could happen if it landed on his chest!”The hidden threat in her words knocked out the sense from my head, struggling to process what I just heard. My Liam was beaten by Zayden himself, there was no chance in Hell he could survive like this.“No, it’s not true. Zayden is not like that!”Sylvia listened to me with great interest, while fanning her face with a confession paper.“Oh, really!”She giggled, as if I was telling her a joke.“Zayden readily bel
Helena’s P.O.V.The noise of two men talking nonstop pierced through my ears, forcing me to flick my eyes open. White walls, beeping monitors made me realize that I was alone in a hospital room, but who were those men outside?As I was regaining consciousness slowly, my hazy mind was finding it difficult to process that loud conversation. But as soon as the haziness dissipated, a lightning bolt struck me.“Liam! Where is my brother?”The scenes of false accusation, Sylvia’s threat and that near-to-death experience came crashing to my mind, a wave of desolation washed over me. My eyes welled up as Zayden’s cold face flashed before my eyes, my misty vision didn't help me to see the person who just entered the room.“Oh, you are awake. I’ll report to Alpha right now.”That hurried man rushed out to see Alpha Jerald, I rubbed my teary eyes and got up slowly. “Ahh!”A whimper escaped my mouth as my left shoulder was in immense pain, the heavy bandage had immobilized it. That wolf’s claw wa
Helena’s P.O.V. “Mr. Hensley is here!” Who is this Mr. Hensley? My heart was in a fucking one-hundred-meter sprint, dreading on a hidden enemy’s planning to harm our wolf-less brother-sister duo. Alpha Jerald had saved our lives, but now it felt that he would be a reason for our blooded ending. Perhaps, Alpha mind-linked his warrior, that stern-faced man vanished in thin air and returned briefly with a guest. “Come in!” I even forgot to breathe in anticipation and clutched my bed covers to my chest protectively. There was a slim possibility that the intruder would refuse to recognize me or took pity on a pregnant woman. However, all my reservations were eased to see the man walking inside the room. A tall middle-aged man, with a muscular body indicating that he was a strong warrior, came into the hospital room, his worried expressions were the same as mine. His regal grace, expensive attire, and the curiosity in those hazel orbs was a sign that he was a noble man. He bowed his h
Zayden’s P.O.V. “I, Helena Hensley, accept all the allegations against me with clear conscience. Blinded by the hunger of power, my mother and I orchestrated a death trap for the Alpha couple of the Moon Howlers Pack and pretended to save them in order to get the approval for marriage. Everything was according to our plan, but Sylvia’s unfortunate return unveiled our true intentions. As the Luna position has been claimed by its rightful owner, please consider accepting my written confession and punish me as you see fit.” I read that written confession signed by Helena once, then twice and then thrice. But still couldn’t find its connection with her sudden shift to another prison. “Where are you, Helena?” Perhaps, the prison in charge had changed the location of the cell temporarily, as the rogues arrested from the previous battle were to be locked in the special dungeons. So, I mind-linked my Beta Alex; although, he was busy in the border security matters. “Meet me at the dea
