Thank you Queen ESTHER, Dr. Beth Catlin, Nashia Princy Makgatho and Larina for voting through gems. welcome aboard lovelies :)
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
Helena’s P.O.V. “Beloved?” Mate in Werewolves, Erasthai in Lycans, and Beloved in Vampires, were the different terminologies for the same relationship: soulmates. The mate-bond between shifters was solely based on emotional and physical intimacy, but the Vampires had bizarre traditions related to it. Their beloved weren’t their life partners, but the food source for their whole life. They fed on their soulmate, claiming that only they could quench their thirst with their divine blood. Ewww! A wave of pure fright washed over me as I shrugged, the simple concept of this bloody relationship horrified me. However, this horror was the least of my concern. Nova emerged from the darkness of my mind; her shaky voice was laced with excitement. “Mate!” What? Nova said ‘Mate’ in response to that bloodsucker’s claim? Like she actually referred to him as my soulmate? What fuzzy pink bunny slippers did I just hear? My feet were cemented to the floor, and my mind too numb to even respond,
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. 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.“Accept your defeat, Helena. You are losing it.”Queen Isabella’s triumphant smile didn’t waver my determination as she placed both her hands on the scythe, putting her life at stake. That was the moment I was waiting from the start, the strong aura swirling inside me overpowered the discomfort I was feeling due to this face off.When Zayden agreed to this ritual, our mate-bond shined in its eternal glory like a true blessing of Heaven. But slowly, it started shredding our souls, literally pulling our flesh from the bones.The pain was beyond any human’s endurance level, and despite being supernatural creatures, we were crushed by the anguish. However, this agony paid off well when I saw a crack traveling through the scythe, showing me hope at the end of the darkness.Suddenly, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, and before I could turn to see, Isabella’s monstrous laughter echoed in the hall.“Your mate is gone, Helena. It’s your turn now!”My stomach contracte
Zayden’s P.O.V. What the hell! “Will someone tell me where my Luna is?” I yelled at the top of my lungs to garner their attention. It was simply out of my mind that why was everyone suddenly so concerned about that useless Queen? My query got its desired result as Ciara shook her head and replied to me. “The fire in front of you has fragments of Helena’s whisperer aura in it. As Edith said, it’s his mother’s deed to create this chaos. If I’m not wrong then, we’re standing right in the middle of that curse casting process.” Another curse? Then it dawned on me that they were right, Helena must be with Isabella to stop her from this ominous task. It was her duty to fight evil as a nature servant. Susan and Ciara took a shortcut and placed that hair strand on the ground, pouring their blood over it. “Reveal your location, Isabella!” Their combined spells created a command which couldn’t be ignored. A trail of blood flowed towards that pit of fire, ultimately falling in it.
Zayden’s P.O.V. “You can’t mark a wench like Helena, Alpha. I will not allow it!” Roaring in her stupid Alpha glory, Sylvia was presenting herself as the same egoistic maniac as she was in the past. It was surprising that the reality of my mate-bond with Helena couldn’t make its way in her thick head. She ordered her army, “Attack the Royal Palace. I want that bitch dead!” Her sired vampires, who had just regained their senses after being drenched in the rain, refused to fulfill her demand. The chorus of their horrified gasps echoed in the battleground as they saw mighty shifters in front of them. Some of them were even clueless about how they got here. Before I could tell Sylvia that I didn’t need her permission for anything, chaos erupted on the battlefield. All the vampires threw their weapons and ran for their lives, screaming fearfully. In my decade old career in fighting, I hadn’t ever witnessed such an amusing sight, the panic of my enemy was a treat to watch. Terrifi
Helena’s P.O.V. “No! My little angels!” My breath ragged in my throat as it closed, cutting off the air supply. I was rendered helpless by this occurrence. Ignoring Queen Isabella’s ominous figure, I looked around for my pups. The mere thought of hurting them with my own aura had stopped my heart. That divine energy was healing in nature, a special gift of the Moon Goddess. Then how could it destroy my kids’ bodies along with the cage? My legs seemed to lose all of their bones as my knees buckled, I collapsed on the ground helplessly. “Why, the Moon Goddess? Why it is always me?” Tears pooled in my eyes as my misty vision couldn’t aid me to see my stepmother’s victorious grin, I wished for a miracle to revive my kids. The ground below my feet lit up with the dark aura. The satanic symbol of two upside-down triangles enclosed in a circle with a goat face in it appeared to initiate the curse. But it was the least of my concerns! My kids were the last descendants of the El
Helena’s P.O.V. “Sylvia has attacked?” My world seemed to exist right after this news, it was simply out of my teeny tiny mind that how did a terminally ill patient recover so fast? As for the record, Sylvia had lost the proper functioning of her brain after childbirth, doctors diagnosed it as trauma and PTSD. But when I examined her, she was broken beyond repair, her obsession for Zayden had seriously injured her soul. Then how the hell did that happen? It was such a relief that Sylvia was out of the picture. I was so grateful to the Moon Goddess that SHE had removed Sylvia’s threat with her grace. But no! It turned out to be a small pause before a raging storm, we were doomed to deal with that maniac again. My brother Edith vanished in thin air in a heartbeat, leaving me alone with Beta Ralph. I shook my head at everyone’s questionable behavior and asked him. “What’s the situation on the border, Beta Ralph?” I thought it would be nothing compared to the bloodied wars th
Helena’s P.O.V.“Edith!!!”My younger brother hanging upside down wasn’t the sight I was expecting on my first day of mating, his half-dead condition sent chills down my spine. His dark skin was a sign that someone had tried to kill him, I forgot everything and cut the rope magically to examine him closely.However, my friends lying on the floor instantly caught my attention when I spotted trainer Jessica in them, her presence there slipped the ground below me. It was past lunchtime, which meant my little angels must be learning to play piano. But if she was here, who the hell would be with my pups?My query ran a jolt of electricity through guards’ bodies as they disappeared in thin air. I didn’t wait for their report and scanned the Royal Palace immediately.Zayden laid Edith on the floor and tugged my arm,“Our pups are safe, Luna?”The query behind his simple sentence was demanding an assurance, our bond flooded with the worry of our pups. It was so difficult for me to supp
Zayden’s P.O.V.Waking up by your mate’s side was a rarity that I had never imagined in my wildest dreams; however, this wish finally turned into a reality today. With Helena tugged to my chest, I felt like the luckiest person alive on the Earth.No doubt, this mate-bond had a magical effect on people, no one could deny the attraction of souls. But the bond I shared with Helena was way deeper than that. We were mates, lovers, and parents. Moreover, I was her consort as the Crown Princess.These different dimensions of our relationship had strengthened our mutual affection, binding our souls as one. My mark healing on Helena’s neck puffed my chest with pride, reminding me of her delicate mating mark on my heart as well.Blitzer yawned and licked Nova’s head, purring happily.“We are mated now, Zayden. From now on, no one can tear us apart.”The assurance of his loving tone filled my heart with happiness, I was literally on cloud nine while remembering Helena’s unique way of marki
Helena’s P.O.V. “There’s nothing compared to your loved one’s embrace. The intimacy, safety, and unconditional love make you feel at home, trusting yourself in their hands without any reservations...” Although Zayden had no issue with being outside, I insisted on going to the mansion. I had no intention of waking up with back pain tomorrow, given that my body had repeatedly betrayed me in the past. He picked me up and teased me on the way, enjoying my blushing. “Your face is beet-red, Luna. Goddess, you are still feeling shy.” Well, that ‘still’ was an overestimation because it was indeed awkward for me to be naked in front of a man after five years. Our mate-bond had given me the strength to break my mental barrier and cherish my mate as a whole. This small break was essential for me as my mind had lost its functioning after the haze of the first orgasm, making me yearn for more. I simply wanted him inside me, riding over ecstasy over and over again. But it would be self
