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
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.
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
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. “Please write Helena and Zayden on the cake, Mr. Max.” The bakery owner was arguing for the past five minutes to write Alpha and Luna on the cake instead. I wasn’t a Luna yet; the love of my Pack mates really warmed my heart. “It’s your second wedding anniversary, Luna Helena. Alpha will arrange a Luna Ceremony soon.” Old Max blessed me with countless best wishes and eventually agreed to accept my request. It was an intimate moment for me and my perfect husband, Alpha Zayden, how could I add worldly positions to ruin this. I was planning to buy a nice present after ordering the cake, but Beta Alex informed me. “Luna Helena, Alpha is calling you to the office.” “Such an impatient man!” Zayden’s husky whispers from breakfast echoed in my mind, his lovely gestures made me forget to tell him about my failing health. “I will ask Liam for an appointment with the Head doctor.” My twin brother Liam was studying medicine in a college, his skill in medicinal techniques
Helena's P.O.V.“This is an arranged marriage. Don’t expect me to behave like a traditional husband!”.“You are indeed a good administrator, Luna Helena. I admire your intelligence.”.“I don’t know when, but your love has taken over my heart. I would like to spend my whole life with you, Helly.”.These scenes of our two years of marriage were flashing before my eyes, laughing at me in the darkness of the death cell. Being married to an Alpha was challenging, not to mention my mighty husband, Alpha Zayden Ellsworth, whose name was the epitome of power and control.Keeping up with his regal taste as a wolf-less partner was difficult, it took me a long time to win Zayden’s favor. Gradually, my dedication found its way to his heart, he fell in love with me. We were even planning to have a baby!On the night of my second wedding anniversary, I was lying on the silver floor of the prison, shuffling my memory to find a single day when I didn’t work hard to prove myself. “A daughter of a s
Zayden’s P.O.V.Firstly, Helena’s problem and now, an unexpected rogue’s attack fucked my brain, I had to regulate warriors by myself to defeat them. How on earth did they grow strong despite all the restrictions?Anyhow, I returned to my office to deal with an unending heap of files alone, my Beta Alex was still busy with the border affairs. The heavenly aroma of coffee greeted me there, soothing my tensed muscles. I picked up that cup from the table and took a sip and coughed uncontrollably.“What the Hell! Is it coffee or candy?”The duty guard, Allen, came into my office immediately.“What’s your command, Alpha?”I banged that cup on the table.“Who made this coffee?”He bowed his head in respect.“I did, Alpha.”His simple response skyrocketed my anger, I yelled at him. “Why did you touch my coffee mug? Go and ask Helly…”As soon as Helly’s name slipped out of my tongue, a realization hit me hard.Helena was in prison on murder charges!I pushed my fury aside, and walked towards
Helena's P.O.V.“What did you do to my brother?”My words came out as a shriek, the murderous glint in Sylvia’s eyes sank my heart. Liam was too innocent to defend himself against that vicious woman.“Not yet! But unfortunately, many things can happen to that human mutt, Helena. You know that he even tried to argue with Zayn for you.”She giggled, savoring the memory in her mind.“One punch! All it took was one punch to silence that childish opposition. He was lucky enough that Zayn aimed for his mouth; otherwise, you can imagine what could happen if it landed on his chest!”The hidden threat in her words knocked out the sense from my head, struggling to process what I just heard. My Liam was beaten by Zayden himself, there was no chance in Hell he could survive like this.“No, it’s not true. Zayden is not like that!”Sylvia listened to me with great interest, while fanning her face with a confession paper.“Oh, really!”She giggled, as if I was telling her a joke.“Zayden readily bel
