Helena’s P.O.V.“How is it going to happen, sister? Now you have a boyfriend, how can you spare some time for a lone, yearning lycan?”Skylar simply refused to believe my words, she pointed towards her brother,“You have met my brother just a few months ago and are already ignoring me. What can I do?”She sat on the floor and threw a tantrum, behaving like a spoiled brat. At that moment, I was confused whether my little angels were kids, or she was.Firstly, I nudged my elbow in her darling brother’s rib cage and slipped out of his arms. Carver’s puppy dog eyes clenched my heart, but it wasn’t a good time. Our family needed us, and most importantly, my little angels would be home soon.So, I whispered in his ear.“You are something which can’t be enjoyed in a rush. I want to take my sweet time with you, love.”Carver’s lips stretched in a lovely smile; he kissed the back of my hand. Whereas Skylar pouted and got up from the floor.“I can hear you, sister.”…We sat on the couch to hav
Helena’s P.O.V. There are always different phases of one’s life. We love shopping and partying in our teenage years, it decreases in late twenties and almost dies after having kids. It’s not that our beautiful kids stop us from enjoying our lives; however, sometimes we have to face strange events solely because of them. Like tonight, I was over the moon to go out with my kids and Uncle Desmond, but soon, my happiness turned into jeopardy. “We will go to the toy shop first!” My little lion, Ashton, insisted on buying toys, although he always behaved like a sensible big brother. Taken aback by this sudden change in Ashton’s behavior, Scarlett protested for her right. “I want my candies!” Firstly, it was surprising that my little angels had different choices, and then they were fighting over it too. Unbelievable! Before they could wage a World War three in the car, I suggested hurriedly. “What about we go to the mall? Uncle will take you for toys and we girls will go for candie
Helena’s P.O.V. There was a hushed silence surrounding me when I opened my eyes slowly. The room was dim-lit, but I still needed some time getting used to it. I felt a hand reach for mine, then another upon my forehead, brushing my hair back. “Helena?” The woman called my name. “Water,” I croaked out, desperate to quench my raspy throat. There was scurrying before a cold material was pressed against my lips gently. Glass! I parted my lips gratefully and took in the liquid, finally getting the courage to check my whereabouts. The lights were switched on to aid my vision, Susan’s worried face appeared before my sight. “How are you feeling now?” Her eyes were glassy, I noticed that the skin under her eyes had turned slightly dark, she looked worn out due to lack of sleep. The white walls, expensive decoration pieces, and massive master bed I was lying on suggested that I was in an unfamiliar room. So, I answered her question with my query. “Where am I?” In response, Susan held
Zayden’s P.O.V. “It was the last deal with Blazing Paw Pack, Alpha. Please check it.” Although Beta Alex was on his honeymoon period, he was here, helping me with Alpha Bryson’s dealings with my Moon Howler’s Pack. Our packs had financial and strategic partnerships for over two decades, cutting him off required longer than I anticipated. As for the record, I had sent divorce papers to Alpha Bryson’s mansion after Helena’s abduction incident, instead of sending them after completing this process. It was my intention to kick out every single supporter of the Blazing Paw Pack from my homeland, thus ensuring a safe future for my family. However, it was so long after my first meeting with Helena, and still, these defense deals were nowhere to be ended. That was the height of my dad’s trust in Alpha Bryson! I opened the file half-heartedly, as this deal could be the start of infinite small legal promises of trade. But a smile crept up my face to see some simple penalty money to break
Helena’s P.O.V“Stop it!”The horrendous scene unfolding in front of my eyes made me screech, I was barely able to breathe after all that walking. As Beta Ralph informed me about Alpha Gladwin’s visit, a glimmer of hope lit up my world, I begged Susan to go there. She did try to teleport me through her magic, but she coughed up blood on her way. After dropping me at the end of the corridor, she instructed.“Walk straight. Double doors on the other end, is the entrance of the throne room.”I staggered towards my destination, as the decree of my divorce, Zayden’s death wish, and intense growls accelerated my feet. I collapsed on the ground after making it to the room.Alpha Gladwin was the first one to respond, he embraced me in a warm hug before my head could bump on the floor. I thanked him sincerely.“I’m sure that you’ll never let me fall, Alpha.I’m glad to be your little Helly.”Alpha Gladwin and his Luna were the two other names of the Moon Goddess for us in childhood.
Helena’s P.O.V. “Do you know the name of that ungrateful king?” The reaction of King Edgar in response to this query was still fresh in my mind even after coming back to my room. His aghast expression was a guilty pleasure. But as soon as the duty maids left me alone, I hid my face in the pillow and burst into tears. The brave Helena was gone, only a young little Helly was left in that ocean of tears, who missed her dad dearly. “Where’s our dad, mom?” “Why do people call us orphans?” Between our brother-sister duo, I was the first one to notice that a father was missing in our family. Like Zayden had his mom and Alpha Gladwin, like other omegas working at the pack house had two parents. I remembered that it was our fifth birthday when we insisted on knowing the truth, so mom told us. “Your dad died in a car crash, my little angels. He’ll never come back.” So according to the myth of our dead relatives turning into a star, Liam and I selected a star in the sky and s
Helena’s P.O.V. “Locking doors during daytime is considered offensive in the Royal Palace, Crown Princess.” Standing tall in her royal glory, the young ethereal beauty, Queen Isabella Bradley, questioned me sternly. Her ocean blue eyes were icy glaciers, scrutinizing me from head to toe. After opening the door, I didn’t kneel or bow to welcome that uninvited guest, which had bombarded me with several etiquette related to Royals. “The Queen is the most respectable status, second to the King. You should kneel and bare your neck in submission, Crown Princess.” Like, Whoa! I was supposed to kneel before a vampire? Unbelievable! I crossed my arms over my chest and smiled professionally. “As I’m an outsider, I have a different method to show respect. So, this is my standing ovation for you, Queen.” “Your Highness!” She snapped at me, fixing the gold crown on her head. Although that crown was ruining her Britney spears look, Queen Isabella was flexing her position with it. Co
Zayden’s P.O.V. “So, the question is, how much can you contribute to this cause?” After being humiliated in the Royal Palace, I was walking on broken crystal pieces barefooted, the sharpness of those broken pieces piercing through my soul. In a single shot, my home was shattered by that bastard King, I couldn’t swallow my insult and called an urgent meeting for rebel. Council members, my friends and other packs indebted to me were gathered in the main hall of the Council’s building, waiting for my order. “Don’t ask, Alpha Zayden. Just tell us, how can we serve you?” Alpha Kai, the close friend of Alpha Bryson, even came to assist me, that was proof of our strong belief regarding repayment of favors. Overjoyed by their joint response, I pushed forward a file regarding war’s expenditures and requested, “Please fill in the details of warriors and money you can easily add to my army.” In just half an hour, the numbers tripled, far better than my initial estimate. Then the next 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
