Helena’s P.O.V.What the fuck!I clearly remembered that Zayden and I left Amelia and Beta Alex in the living room to deal with the remaining gift boxes, as Alpha got a phone call from his office.Then how did this happen?Zayden’s half shifted body jumped at some invisible opponent, I ran towards my friend who was hanging upside down from the ceiling. “Who did this?”Beta Alex in the same position beside her stuttered in fear.“G-go inside, H-Helena. We are under attack.”What type of attack?All I could see was Zayden pouncing on something unseen after some seconds.“Stop it, Zayden!Have you lost it? There’s no one here. Help me to untie Amelia’s ropes.”My deranged yelling found its way into Zayden’s dense brain, he paused for a moment before growling furiously.“Watch out!”Before I could punch him to misguide me with an imaginary enemy, a pair of burning arms wrapped around me from behind. An inhumane voice smiled beside my ears. “Hello, love!”A bullet of
Zayden’s P.O.V.“You are always like this, Carver. Spoiling me with your unconditional love!”It was already five hours after Helena’s unexpected return to her apartment, and still, these words were hitting my head like a sledgehammer. Was Carver really that important to her?I had strong feelings that Helena got special support from my pack members while escaping; however, there wasn’t a single proof after investigating them for years. Beta Alex convinced me that the dead guards must have helped her because of their loyalty, as Helena’s gentle nature was like a mother’s love for her pups. But how did that lycan manage to win her heart? Was I really late this time?I was pacing and forth while pondering over different methods to get rid of that opposition, Alex interrupted my thought process.“You are walking for five hours. At this rate, you’ll reach our pack in no time.”Alex’s attempt to sound funny wasn’t entertained by Blitzer, he growled at him.“Stop blabbering and gat
Helena’s P.O.V. Although I had reprimanded Carver for his dumb sense of humor, he was able to catch a glimpse of my flushed face. As they weren’t normal types of jokes for me, it was challenging to brush them off without being affected. My silly reactions gave him a perfect chance to tease me in the office. “Gosh! I should have clicked your picture yesterday. You were blushing like a newlywed bride, love.” Carver continued eating my brain even during the meeting, he sent me a text message. “Are you sure that you gave birth to Ashton and Scarlet? You always react like a virgin, love.” His provocation until lunchtime consumed my patience. I was planning to crush his head while brewing an aromatic cup of coffee, when a shadow flashed beside me in the pantry. “It must be my imagination!” Firstly, I ignored it because of my exhaustion. My one day’s absence had piled up a mountain of files, the pending work was a nightmare for a feeble girl like me. Then a sudden gust of air shook the
Helena’s P.O.V. My trip back home was peaceful, I confirmed that no one was following me before paying the driver. Carver’s advice to conceal my pups’ scent by using a taxi and Mr. Smith’s car was indeed helpful. Unfortunately, the sight of Beta Alex’s anxious face in the crowd proved that clingy lycan right. Now the list of his favors was extending, he would be a real headache in upcoming days. The elevator of my building was busy like every other time. The memory of Carver’s complaint flashed across my mind. “Why are you always impatient for the elevator, love?” A small smile crept up my face reminiscing his unreasonably handsome face, then a realization hit me hard. I was smiling for a deadly lycan! Cursing my last two working brain cells, I called Liam and twisted the key in the hole, he picked up my call immediately. “Carver’s driver has dropped our champs safely. Don’t worry.” His information about my kids without any greetings amused me, my twin was indeed a part of my s
Zayden’s P.O.V.Although it wasn’t my intention to fight with Helena over Carver’s issue, Alex’s report about his presence in her house short-circuited my brain. His scent had contaminated all of Helena’s dresses and even her bedroom.Was he really the one in her heart?Or was he better in bed than me?Contrary to my original fears, this simple confrontation turned ugly pretty quickly, Helena’s presumptuous accusation about our second wedding anniversary flabbergasted me. Then she mentioned Sylvia’s indulgence in the matter of confession.What the hell happened five years ago? “What do you mean by Sylvia’s letter? When did she come to see you?”It seemed that Helena had blurted out this detail. Her face reddened as she fidgeted with her sleeves.“Forget about what I just said.”Then she fixed her already smooth hair, making me suspicious even more. These were her signature gestures while lying. Helena wasn’t a person comfortable deceiving other. Once our house help broke m
Helena’s P.O.V. As soon as these words came out of my mouth, Zayden’s eyebrows shot up, forming a high arch of astonishment. Then his face contorted with a mix of disbelief and shock. “N-No, I can’t believe it! It’s not true!” He stumbled over his words, tongue tripping over the rush of thoughts, clamoring for his attention. This method of emotional blackmailing always got him a lot of mileage out of every situation. So, as Zayden couldn’t accept his defeat quickly, he cast a dirty glare at me before leaving. My wobbly knees refused to bear my weight anymore. I landed on the floor with a loud thud. “I’m sorry, mom.” Tears ran down my eyes, as I closed them, the saltiness of tears were edible to my trembling lips. What had I done just now? In order to save my kids’ future, I lied to Zayden’s face and even used my dead mom’s name to verify it. “I’m such a horrible daughter, mom.” I curled on the floor in a fetal position and hugged my knees, my anguished sobs pierced through
Zayden’s P.O.V. It’s said that love could leave you powerless, turning you into a fool who was unable to discern between the truth and lies. It was proof of this hearsay that Alpha Zayden Ellsworth, who was proud to behave calmly in difficult situations, was hoaxed by love. Helena made me believe that she gave birth to a bastard’s children. What on Earth was I even thinking? Last night was doomsday for me, I injured my hands with my extended claws, and then ran mindlessly in the deepest forest. Blitzer’s painful howls attracted plenty of attention, someone even called my dad to investigate my mental health. Nosy people! It was my buddy, Alex, who brought me back in the morning and knocked some sense in my hothead. “Where’s your logic, Zayn? Why are you behaving like this is the end of the world? People can lie by using the Moon Goddess’s name. Helena is just a wounded mother, who wants to protect her pups from any danger. It's natural that she’ll lie to you.” He left after dro
Helena’s P.O.V.All eyes were fixed on Zayden’s face for a response, he was enjoying that attention as if we elected him the president of the USA. After two thousand years later, he cleared his throat,“Although I don’t believe in Liam, Helena’s request can’t be rejected. Alright. Beta Alex will come tomorrow and collect the samples. Or…”He turned towards Liam and raised his brows. “Or you would like to climb the wall of my mansion again, Liam?”That mean smirk toying on his lips instantly raised the temperature of the room. Liam was about to pounce at Zayden when I grabbed his arm to calm him. As a calculated and political person, Zayden was a devil, the master of finding weak points to use them in his favor. This DNA report matter was a true example of it. Liam hardly ignored Zayden’s provocation and sent them off, then he locked the door and fought with me.“Why were you siding with that Alpha, sister? He was clearly mocking me for my trip to jail. It was wrong th
