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. “Go to hell!” Obviously, I couldn’t say it out loud as sharp stabbing pain cut through my heart, making me screech uncontrollably. My body burnt like I accidentally fell into the ninth circle of hell, like a volcano rumbled, pouring its molten lava on me. “No!” King Trevor’s horrified scream pierced through my ears, shattering my ear drums with its high pitch. He lunged at me like a hungry predator and slammed me on the wall, his sharp nails clutched my neck as he stuttered painfully. “I-I d-don’t accept your rejection, Princess Helena.” He was breathing heavily, gasping for air, his words putting out fire enveloping my body. The waves of bizarre pain dissolving my bones in invisible acid stopped at once, but my legs seemed to lose all the bones they possessed. My knees buckled, and the only support holding me still was the cold, icy hand wrapped around my neck. King Trevor’s bared fangs sucked all the air from my lungs, he came closer to me with every s
Zayden’s P.O.V “Are you running away from the Palace tonight, sister?” Tonight? First, I was damn furious due to that little bastard’s uncalled pity and now this. My stupefied gaze fell at Helena, whose expressionless face was a new addition to my list. Over the two decades, I had witnessed Helly’s several mood swings. Angry, happy, sad, every emotion was always written on her gorgeous countenance in bold letters. So, what was that? Although my entry to this Royal Palace was quite eventful, my main focus was Helena, who was changing faster day by day. Like, what the heck? How could a person you grew up with change this much in just a few days? Anyway, that wasn’t a moment to play my ‘guess the true reason’ game, so I focused on Helena’s words which came out of her mouth after a momentary silence. “Leaving or not, it shouldn’t concern you, Edith. I remember last time you completely neglected my offer regarding the rescue plan. Am I right?” Fabulous! I wished t
Zayden’s P.O.V. Close your eyes and count to ten. Perfect! That was the easy thing to do after Helena’s stern order, One, two, three, four, five … But my stomach flipped as a strong storm literally tried to blow me away. I had to focus on my feet to stand properly and for a second, it felt like the ground disappeared from my feet. Bloody hell! If I wasn’t scared of offending Helly, I would have opened my eyes to check my surroundings while screaming at the top of my lungs. After that brief panic attack, I resumed counting. Shit! Where was I? Three or five? Whatever! Starting again from one, I took deep breaths to calm down my racing heart, that was when Helena spoke softly. “Now, you can open your eyes, but please stay silent. We’re still on a dangerous land.” Her gentle instructions parted my eyelids to an abyss of impenetrable darkness, it took me a moment to adjust with this change. Blitzer was on duty at once, sniffing around to search for danger. Helena clari
Helena’s P.O.V “I’m the last whisperer alive!” After disclosing my true identity before them, I fixed my eyes on Amelia’s face as her reaction was of significant importance for me. Edith was a member of the Royal family, well versed in the variety of supernatural creatures. He had a slight idea of my origin, as my mom’s story was famous in the Royal Castle. And Zayden, that Alpha was stung by the worst form of magic, so this escape plan must not be surprising for him. Only my buddy was an omega, unaware of the complexity of our world. Anyway, my drastic revelation didn’t get its desired results, Amelia’s dumbstruck expressions dawned on me. Shoot! She was totally unaware of even the word ‘whisperer’. “Great work, Helena!” I saluted my limited intellect and tried to explain; however, Zayden snatched this opportunity from me. “You got to be kidding me, Helly.” He turned into his half-shifted form, taking it as a chance to poke his nose in this critical situation. “Last whi
Zayden’s P.O.V “Please take a rest and enjoy yourselves. I’m busy with some official business.” Like, what the heck! I came here only to spend quality time with Helly, and she went to some sort of mystical seclusion, ignoring me completely by saying, “Enjoy myself?” What the hell was I supposed to do in that ancient pack? No internet, no electricity, no electrical gadgets, in simple words no connection to the outside world. This territory was already a secluded place, and now, its only attraction had left me alone to be bored. Until evening, I realized that I was the only one feeling like that because Amelia and Edith swiftly adjusted to this new routine. Amelia went to the kitchen and befriended three maids. Their happy chatters hinted towards their old friendships, as if they hadn’t met some hours ago. Hopeless by my pack mate’s carefree attitude, I followed Edith, who stretched his teeny tiny arms and hugged the shelves of an enormous library. “I love it, sister! This is
Helena’s P.O.V.“The silver dagger is missing, Helly!”I was already hell panicked because of the unforeseen circumstances, and now, Zayden was crying about his lost family heirloom.Where was his reasoning?Going through the procedure again, I masked my vexation with indifference and commented.“I’m in the middle of the ritual, then why are you mentioning that dagger?”Without asking my permission, he moved closer and pointed towards my hands. “Witch Ciara also had a book like this. She read from that and told us about the curse breaking once. According to her, we need a whisperer, a silver dagger, and me at a full moon night for better results. She had a list of some essential herbs and potions, but I don’t know much about it.”Firstly, it made me roll my eyes that Zayden compared the holy book of whisperers with a witch’s grimoire, usually filled with the hexes to fool and hurt others. While the holy verses of our sacred books were lifesaving, serving nature with utmost
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
