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
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
