Helena’s P.O.V“Ahh!”A blood-curdling scream shook everyone as that little lycan jumped at Shyla and attacked her in a split second. My heart forgot to beat for a moment when he opened his mouth to bite her.“No!”In addition to the loud thudding sound of Shyla’s body landing on the floor, the other guards and servants on the scene screeched and rushed towards this fight.However, that little lycan was faster than all. He extended his teeth and dug them in Shyla’s arm, gulping down the crimson liquid bleeding from the wound he inflicted.My eyes fixated on the happening as I stood there unblinking, trying to process what I had just seen. A prickling sensation shot up my spine to witness such a wonder of nature.The words came out as a whisper from my mouth as the gravity of the situation sank in, I was bamboozled by this appearance.“I-Is he a-a hybrid?”Everyone was busy panicking and separating Shyla from that mini monster, no one bothered to listen to me. But Nova clapped
Helena’s P.O.V I didn’t even register when my hand raised and slapped hard in his face. A loud slap sounded in the corridor; my body was shaking with anger as I shouted at Ralph. “Not a single word, Beta Ralph. Stay in your limits.” With that, I stormed back to my room, my heart was drumming in my ears as I cursed him nonstop. “You are just a puppet of King Edgar, lying atrociously to destroy my relationship. Fortunately, Carver has already warned me not to trust anyone in this Palace.” I drank a jug of cold water to calm my raging anger, a concerned whisper helped me to snap out of it. “Mom’s courtyard!” I was so irritated by Beta Ralph’s accusation that I even hissed at Nova. “What’s with normal talk and random whispers, Nova? Can you explain this habit?” Nova appeared in her human form and pointed her finger towards me. “Watch your tone, Crown Princess. I’m not your maid.” She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. “A whisper is the Moon Goddess’s order fo
Helena’s P.O.V. As the famous saying goes, help will always be given to those who ask for it. And I got its true meaning after experiencing the weird phenomenon at Royal Palace: we both siblings were rescued by fate simultaneously, but with different methods. After meeting my birth father’s lycan, I managed to stay awake with Nova’s assistance, and was able to attend a family meeting at King’s chamber. For some reason, King Edgar was back, leaving his Queen at the Vampire Kingdom, which gave him a perfect chance to catch us in the act. So, now sitting on the couch with Edith, I was fidgeting with my sleeve, waiting for his dad to stop pacing. Dressed in a black polo shirt and trousers, King Edgar was looking like a common man, his charming appearance made me question my former opinion of my mom’s choice. He had status, money and looks, everything a woman could desire in a man. “King Edgar is a good catch, mom. I apologize for criticizing your intellect.” Have you eve
Helena’s P.O.V. “Introduce yourselves!” Susan’s commanding voice resonated in the surroundings, those maids bowed their heads and spoke respectfully. “I’m Amelia.” “And I’m Helly.” Then they told their sad stories of being born in the breeder camp and difficulties in the previous master’s place. “We’re so fortunate to be here and serve the Royals. We can’t express our gratitude in words.” Only the Moon Goddess knew how I attended that introduction ceremony, fastened the special bands on their uniforms, and then listened to the oath of their loyalty. Susan read the frustration written in bold letters on my forehead and explained. “These are the newly bought slaves, Helena. That’s why it’s taking longer than usual. I can understand your situation after a long, hectic day. Please just five more minutes.” She gave me a file to sign as a last step. As my mind was under the whirlwind of strange revelations, I wrote my name’s spelling wrong and corrected it twice. Handing her
Helena’s P.O.V. “How did you recognize me, Helena?” Zayden’s simple question took me by surprise, a sliver of dread touched my spine as my stupefied gaze fell at him. Observing him keenly, I raced my brain in every possible direction to invent a convincing reason. As for the reference, Zayden was blessed with a natural lie detector, and I was a terrible liar. However, calming waves of mystical energy washed away the panic surrounding me, giving me a chance to gather my thoughts. It was great to know that Nova was just hiding, she was on her duty to aid her human side. Judging from Zayden’s serene expressions, he was simply asking it for the sake of curiosity, so I acted nonchalantly. “Do you remember the magical thread of witch Ciara?” I rolled up my sleeve to show him his gift, but it pushed Zayden’s play button. His lips stretched in a wide smile, “You’re still wearing it? Oh my gosh! I’m so relieved. The witch Ciara was happy to see that Ashton and Scarlett wer
Helena’s P.O.V. My entire existence screamed for rest for the whole night, but I couldn’t sleep for a second. Firstly, Zayden was taken to the punishment room despite my protest, and apparently, I had no say in Royal matters until public announcement in a festival. Then Nova also vanished in thin air, making me feel devastated. I wrapped my arms around myself and curled on my bed, calling her repeatedly. “Say something, Nova. Anything! Tell me that I’m a stupid, overdramatic human. Please don’t scare me. I have no one to rely on.” My pitiful pleas didn’t get any response from her, fear stabbed me like a sharp knife twisting in my gut for a long time. As soon as the first ray of sun peered through my window’s glass, I slipped into a blue sundress and rushed towards Susan’s room. As a witch, she could examine me and diagnose the issue with Nova, whereas my brain was full of ominous thoughts. “What if Nova was injured by Queen Isabella?” After all, the Queen was a Royal Va
Helena’s P.O.V.“It was a narrow escape, Helena!”Nova’s statement sent a shiver down my spine. Suddenly, I felt all weak and exhausted, my knees wobbled as I collapsed on the ground.Edith, who was still peeping from the trap door, rushed towards me, his small arms had the strength of a warrior.“Are you alright, sister? Should I take you to the medicine wing?”Even Nova was touched by the sincerity of his words, she pushed forward to pet his head.“I am fine. Thank you, brother.”He glanced at me for a length of time, then a flash of golden slit lit his orbs.“You have violet eyes like that lady, sister!”I was composing myself for the next step of my mission, his claim took me by surprise.“Which lady, Edith?”He helped me to get up and remove the dirt from my clothes, he replied to me in a low voice.“I have followed dad here many times, sister. He comes to see a violet eyed woman. She lives in this house.”What?The Moon Goddess on the motorbike, what the hell was t
Helena’s P.O.V. The wretched big hall where I lost my kids’ custody to Zayden was full of senior officials, their hushed whispers about this sudden meeting echoing in the surroundings. All eyes glued to me as I stepped in, the ambiance of the throne room failed to mesmerize me as usual. As I had zero interest in politics, I spotted a chair in the corner and decided to sit there, but Beta Ralph materialized out of thin air before me. “You will sit beside His Majesty, Crown Princess.” He draped a blue velvet robe over my shoulders and eyed towards the throne, I felt adrenaline rushing in my veins as prying eyes were now changing colors according to their feral sides. “Please don’t shift into your lycan forms! I am scared of those beasts.” With this thought roaming in my head, I climbed the stairs and noticed a new gold chair with blue cushioning beside the gold throne for me. Whoa! The King was actually ready to hand over his throne to me! Anyway, King Edgar entered the hall with
