Third person’s P.O.V The luxurious room was dimly lit by various candles strewn all over in the candle bars and the majestic chandelier that was hung from the center of the ceiling. Sitting on a heavy king-size bed, Sylvia was chugging a bottle of red wine, her anguished sobs reverberating the whole surroundings. She glanced at her reflection in a gigantic mirror decorated with the golden intricate designs and sniffled. “Why is it always me?” She then thrashed the bottle on the floor, it shattered against the hard surface, spilling over the golden smooth rug. The strong smell of alcohol filled the air as she banged her hands on the soft mattress. “Why am I the only one to be defeated? What’s my fault? Why is Heaven always siding with that wench when she doesn’t even deserve to be alive?” Screaming at the top of her lungs, Sylvia rustled around the sheets to search for a new bottle. Her hand collided with a bundle of empty bottles; she threw them on the floor as well while adjus
Helena’s P.O.V Threatened? I didn’t know much about this aspect of mating with King Trevor, but Nova’s pitiful plea mirrored the anguish of my soul. There was an invisible fire consuming me slowly, the shreds of my existence were spreading in the air like black ash after massive combustion. I ordered Amelia to throw those gifts away and went out, the urgency to meet my mom was pacing my feet. My ultimate destination was the door of the hall of beauty; however, a big old padlock on it halted me in my tracks. What had happened there? I clearly remembered that the trainer Jessica used to live there 24/7, the doors of the hall were always opened for assistance. Then what was the issue? The duty guards standing at some distance must have seen something, so I inquired about this sudden shut down. “Madam Jessica’s son was injured during the practice session in warriors’ academy. She went to see him at the hospital.” “Oh!” The genuine reason for Jessica's disappearance concerned m
Helena’s P.O.V. Seriously? I fought with Nova to meet mom and she replied to me with this single sentence. Wasn’t I, her daughter? Or did she think I was stupid? Ugh! I wished to pull out my hair in frustration, Nova’s soft voice put a full stop to my nonsense. “The part of mom’s soul which she left for us, has dissipated in the air after serving its purpose. Don’t worry, we will see her in the territory of sussuro clan again.” Nova’s statement made sense as Edith was also able to see my mom’s soul in this living room, she must have prepared for my future in advance. So, I left all the reasoning aside and went to start meditation. Nova pointed to the middle and asked me to sit there. “Now direct your inner energy outside your body, Helena.” It appeared as a simple task as I had successfully channeled my powers in my body before. Closing my eyes, I summoned the milky waves of mystical energy inside my heart. Something stirred deep in my chest and ripples of energy flooded my
Helena’s P.O.V. “The sensations related to a soulmate’s touch are a universal truth in mating relationships across all the supernatural species. A single touch will clarify whether King Trevor Fletcher is my mate or not.” Moving towards Trevor, I tried to calm down my racing heart as my teeny tiny brain was unable to process the aftereffects of touching someone in this time travel. Despite my inner turmoil, Nova was damn serious, counting every second to confirm our destiny. A part of my soul was hopeful for the Moon Goddess’s blessing, considering the fact that the Royal Vampires were the masters of compulsion. Their obsession with controlling other’s lives wasn’t concealed from anyone. “The rumors say that King Edgar is under the spell of his Queen.” As the distance between Trevor and me was narrowed down to less than a foot, I stared at his enlarged red orbs, a sign that his vampire part was indeed at front to assert his dominance. I even sniffed him closely for some s
Helena’s P.O.V. “Go to hell!” Obviously, I couldn’t say it out loud as sharp stabbing pain cut through my heart, making me screech uncontrollably. My body burnt like I accidentally fell into the ninth circle of hell, like a volcano rumbled, pouring its molten lava on me. “No!” King Trevor’s horrified scream pierced through my ears, shattering my ear drums with its high pitch. He lunged at me like a hungry predator and slammed me on the wall, his sharp nails clutched my neck as he stuttered painfully. “I-I d-don’t accept your rejection, Princess Helena.” He was breathing heavily, gasping for air, his words putting out fire enveloping my body. The waves of bizarre pain dissolving my bones in invisible acid stopped at once, but my legs seemed to lose all the bones they possessed. My knees buckled, and the only support holding me still was the cold, icy hand wrapped around my neck. King Trevor’s bared fangs sucked all the air from my lungs, he came closer to me with every s
Zayden’s P.O.V “Are you running away from the Palace tonight, sister?” Tonight? First, I was damn furious due to that little bastard’s uncalled pity and now this. My stupefied gaze fell at Helena, whose expressionless face was a new addition to my list. Over the two decades, I had witnessed Helly’s several mood swings. Angry, happy, sad, every emotion was always written on her gorgeous countenance in bold letters. So, what was that? Although my entry to this Royal Palace was quite eventful, my main focus was Helena, who was changing faster day by day. Like, what the heck? How could a person you grew up with change this much in just a few days? Anyway, that wasn’t a moment to play my ‘guess the true reason’ game, so I focused on Helena’s words which came out of her mouth after a momentary silence. “Leaving or not, it shouldn’t concern you, Edith. I remember last time you completely neglected my offer regarding the rescue plan. Am I right?” Fabulous! I wished t
Zayden’s P.O.V. Close your eyes and count to ten. Perfect! That was the easy thing to do after Helena’s stern order, One, two, three, four, five … But my stomach flipped as a strong storm literally tried to blow me away. I had to focus on my feet to stand properly and for a second, it felt like the ground disappeared from my feet. Bloody hell! If I wasn’t scared of offending Helly, I would have opened my eyes to check my surroundings while screaming at the top of my lungs. After that brief panic attack, I resumed counting. Shit! Where was I? Three or five? Whatever! Starting again from one, I took deep breaths to calm down my racing heart, that was when Helena spoke softly. “Now, you can open your eyes, but please stay silent. We’re still on a dangerous land.” Her gentle instructions parted my eyelids to an abyss of impenetrable darkness, it took me a moment to adjust with this change. Blitzer was on duty at once, sniffing around to search for danger. Helena clari
Helena’s P.O.V “I’m the last whisperer alive!” After disclosing my true identity before them, I fixed my eyes on Amelia’s face as her reaction was of significant importance for me. Edith was a member of the Royal family, well versed in the variety of supernatural creatures. He had a slight idea of my origin, as my mom’s story was famous in the Royal Castle. And Zayden, that Alpha was stung by the worst form of magic, so this escape plan must not be surprising for him. Only my buddy was an omega, unaware of the complexity of our world. Anyway, my drastic revelation didn’t get its desired results, Amelia’s dumbstruck expressions dawned on me. Shoot! She was totally unaware of even the word ‘whisperer’. “Great work, Helena!” I saluted my limited intellect and tried to explain; however, Zayden snatched this opportunity from me. “You got to be kidding me, Helly.” He turned into his half-shifted form, taking it as a chance to poke his nose in this critical situation. “Last whi
