Helena’s P.O.V.“When will mommy wake up, brother?”“She is sick, Uncle Liam’s medicine will heal her soon.”“I want to go home, brother.”Firstly, I thought that my mind was playing tricks on me as these hushed whispers slithered into my ears, then they became clearer with every passing moment.My eyelids were glued, it was so difficult to open my eyes, but the worry trailing those concerned words clenched my heart. I opened my eyes and blinked repeatedly to adjust with the brightness of the light, two pairs of small arms circled my body gleefully.“Mommy, you are up!”“Ashton, Scarlett? My little angels?”The happiness of their voice made me forget everything. I didn’t even question how I reached this hospital room and grabbed their tiny hands.“Are you alright? Did you eat and sleep well?”Ashton feigned to be the responsible man of our house and reported to me,“Uncle Alex took us to the cafeteria, and we ate sandwiches with milkshakes. Don’t worry, you need rest.”Scarlett, on th
Helena’s P.O.V.“This is pink clouding, Helena. You are not understanding my point here.”The psychiatrist, Dr. Julia, was convincing me from the previous hour, disregarding my rapid recovery completely.“You’ll need time to fully shake off this feeling of uncertainty. Take my advice and apply for leave from your workplace.”I rolled my eyes at her; she wasn’t aware of my past life. That was the reason for her blissful ignorance.“I am a married woman, mother of two kids. Physical relationships are not new for me, save your talk for young, innocent girls.”Dr. Julia smiled at my confidence, she grabbed my hand and assured me.“What about taking it as a holiday with your kids? I can see they are disturbed after this incident. I am writing a prescription and some tips, feel free to contact me any time.”Although I was taking her advice as a joke, the next few days proved me terribly wrong. After getting discharged from the hospital, I locked myself in my apartment, unable to face the bu
Helena's P.O.V.“You did what?”I bit my tongue hard as my heart jumped to my throat, wrapping my arms around myself protectively. This slip of tongue must be the greatest blunder in the history of werewolves, but the arrow had hit the bull’s eye, and nothing could be done now.My feet cemented to the floor as Zayden stalked towards me dangerously. His ever-changing eye color stopped my heart, my chest started hurting straight through my back.“Will he kill me for lying to him?”This mere thought rushed a wave of fear in my trembling body, then the situation took an unexpected turn.Zayden stepped back hurriedly and took out a measuring tape from his coat pocket, using it to measure the distance between us. After confirming a specific number on tape, he sighed in relief and questioned.“Who asked you to do this, Helly?”What? How did he know that it wasn’t my idea?I breathed in sharply and calmed my racing heart, this meeting with Zayden was adamant on giving me a heart attack.So,
Author’s P.O.V:In a dim-lit room, Sylvia was pacing back and forth, her enchanting countenance darkened with worry. She gazed up at the wall clock and shrugged, cursing inwardly.“Five minutes over our agreed time. Where are you, shadow?”She finger-combed her blonde hair and fidgeted with her blazer. A gentle knock on the door rejuvenated her mood, her blue eyes were fixed on the door in anticipation.Suddenly, she burst out impatiently,“I have been waiting for you for centuries. Why didn’t you receive my calls?”But the woman entering the room sucked the air from her lungs, Sylvia was taken aback by her regal aura. She immediately bowed her head. “I apologize for my bad manners. I thought you were…”“My shadow?”That gorgeous woman’s syrupy-sweet voice resonated in that empty room. She was dressed in a red, topless gown, hugging her slender figure perfectly. Her breath-taking beauty overpowered Sylvia’s strong aura. A moment of silence descended in the room as Sylvia g
Zayden’s P.O.V.Although, my love life was back on track after Helena’s magical words, yet my workplace was in chaos. Beta Alex was clearly distracted, behaving like an arrogant Alpha nowadays.He was angry with Smith, who was moving Heaven and Earth to win his mate’s heart. Several wrapped gifts were wailing in Alex’s room’s trash bin, he didn’t even bother to open them.His mobile phone was swamped with calls and messages 24/7 that he had to buy a separate cell phone to contact with others. Like today, when he disconnected Smith’s call for a hundredth time from the morning, I lost it.“Why don’t you just talk and solve this issue, Alex?”Alex switched off his phone directly and focused on his file work instead of replying to me. But this attempt for peace was futile, as our apartment bell rang repeatedly during an official meeting.It was so embarrassing to apologize to the client for the inconvenience, as this wasn’t my fault. As soon as the meeting ended, I clutched Alex’s
Helena’s P.O.V.I was forced out of slumber by the murderous growling, two equally strong forces were competing for a shouting contest to prove their supremacy.My head was about to burst because of this noise, so I groaned and placed a pillow over my face. “Why am I dreaming such an absurd dream?”But the growling prevailed and soon, it was accompanied by two pleading voices, acting as referees. “Please control yourself, Alpha.”“Your lycan is worsening the condition. Come back to your senses, master.”As these two statements sounded oddly familiar, I opened my eyes at once. The sleepiness vanished to see two mighty shifters thrashing each other, breaking different decoration pieces blindly.“Stop it!”My head pounded as I rose from my spot, trying to remember how I reached this master bedroom.“Yes. Brandy!”I drank two glasses, only 180 ml (about 6.09 oz) of Brandy and lost consciousness, there was something fishy.My authoritative tone finally did the magic. All four
Helena’s P.O.V.Zayden’s long arms were caging me strongly, rendering me motionless. My right cheek was plastered to his chest, his healed wound was again covered in tattoos.Although I was feeling too much sympathy for injured Zayden, this ambiguous pose made me feel unsettled. I carefully poked his bulging muscles, not to give any mixed signals.“I would like to hear the true meaning of your code words, Alpha. And please don’t suffocate me to death.”Finally, Zayden registered his involuntary hug and apologized sincerely.“I was startled by your effect on me, Helena. Sometimes, I think that you’re truly my soulmate.”Well, this sweet talk was impossible for me to digest, so I diverted his attention towards our previous conversation. “You were telling me about this magical thread, why does it have no use fastening it around your wrist?See, your wound has stopped bleeding and is covered with these weird tattoos again.”Zayden wore his shirt quickly and sat by my side, he spoke in a
Helena’s P.O.V. Zayden was still looking at me for my answer, but my body’s flee mode activated and brought me back home in a jiffy. How did I face my pups, cook for them and put them to bed, that was all a blur, my mind was too occupied to register anything. “Why are you worried, mommy?” Ashton and Scarlett also noticed my absent-mindedness and called Liam before sleeping. He came to see me after his duty hours. “What happened, sister? Are you ok? Is everything fine?” As usual, Liam entered the house and bombarded me with questions. “I dropped you at Carver’s Villa in the morning, and you asked me to pick you up at 9:00 pm. But when I reached there, you were gone, and Carver was drowned in alcohol. What’s the matter, sister? Did you fight with him?” The trance no could break was snapped by my twin brother’s accusation, I glared at him. “Are you Carver’s brother or mine? How can you blame me without listening to my story?” Tears welled up in my eyes as I shouted, disregardi
