Thank you Niyuktha Chandrasekharan and Nina Smith for voting through gems. Welcome aboard lovelies :) The stage is set for the new arc, please stay with the story for more exciting twists. Happy reading :)
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
Helena’s P.O.V.“Aztec is coming?”Damn it!How could I miss that?Amidst all the chaos, I literally forgot that this meeting was about court officials. Carver was serving Queen Isabella as an official, he would also attend this meeting of formal introduction.Hats off to my preferences!I jumped out of my bed and went for a quick shower, one hour was insufficient for the preparations. Nova purred in my mind,“I was unable to smell him before. Today, I’ll check him for our soulmate. It’s so exciting!”Her nonstop commentary made me smile. As not long ago, I was free of this soulmate issue. My life was simple, enjoying the benefits of the traditional dating style. The main concept of recognizing a stranger as a life-long companion was unsettling for me. Like how could we trust an unknown person instantly?However, this soulmate saga was now a reality of my life, I was already feeling nervous for the result of Carver’s scent.Amelia was tying my hair in an elegant low bun
Helena’s P.O.V.Edgar?Who was he to address a King so frankly?A realization hit me hard as I turned, the familiar figure of my uncle Desmond ran a jolt of electricity in my body.“Uncle!”Disregarding all the judging eyes and authoritative figures, I ran towards him, almost tripping due to my high heels on the way. Uncle stretched his arms wide and came forward, engulfing me in his warm, protective embrace.“I really missed you a lot, uncle!”Perhaps, I was crying, or my tears were tricking me that my uncle’s voice sounded shakier, he caressed my head and said,“No need to mention, my princess. I know it very well.That’s why, I have broken all my vows and came to the Royal palace.”The Council members, Court officials, servants, everyone gathered around us, their howls of celebration were touching the roof. Meanwhile, Uncle Desmond met King Edgar, they bumped their fists as a sign of their long friendship. King Edgar was emotional to see Uncle Desmond as well, he patt
Helena’s P.O.V. My feral side? Nova was indeed a special part of my soul, completing me in every possible way. Her two appearances were a pleasant mystery, aiding me at alternative times. Despite all the great feelings, what was I supposed to tell Carver? That I was a whisperer wolf, but I didn’t have any idea about my powers. I could break the blood vow and escape from this Palace by tricking the King’s magical bonds, but how? No idea! All the clues I got until now were directed towards the escape plan, and the recent attack of Queen Isabella had given me a reality check about my current strength. So, there was no chance in hell that I was going to speak the truth yet. Pushing Nova back to the darkness of my consciousness, I cupped Carver’s face. “His Majesty is giving me some magical potions for my suppressed lycan genes. If Aztec can sense it, it means it’s working.” Carver simply nodded and pulled me for another sizzling kiss, his free hand picked me easily and
