Tasha's POV

I leaned against the old oak tree, my eyes fixed on the path leading to our secret meeting spot. Alex should be here soon. What was taking him so long? My fingers drummed against my thigh, impatient.

Minutes ticked by, and my anxiety grew. Had something happened? Was he okay?

Just as I started to worry, my thoughts drifted to our last meeting. Alex's warm smile, his gentle touch... My heart swelled.

Suddenly, my phone buzzed, shattering the serenity. Bec-beep beep!

I hesitated, my hand hovering over my pocket. Who could it be? Hopefully not Alex canceling.

I pulled out my phone, and my heart skipped a beat. Helios.

My stomach twisted into knots. What did he want? Why now?

Fear gripped me, and I hesitated, unsure if I should open the message. What if it was bad news?

I slipped my phone back into my pocket, avoiding the message. Not now. Not when I was waiting for Alex.

I focused on the path, willing Alex to appear. His presence would chase away my fears.

    Tasha's POVAlex returned with a bottle of water, his expression unreadable. "Continue," he said, his voice neutral."I just feel like Helios and I have been apart for too long," I explained. "It's killing me. But now he needs me to come... He needs me."Alex's gaze met mine, his eyes glinting in the dim light. But his expression was unrevealing, a mask that concealed his thoughts.I reached out, attempting to reconnect, but Alex's cold look stopped me."Don't," he said, his voice low and even.My hand hovered, unsure."What happened?" I asked, confusion etting in. "What did I do?"Alex turned away, his jaw clenched.The silence was oppressive, heavy with unspoken emotions."Alex, talk to me," I pleaded.But he remained silent, his shoulders tense.The distance between us grew, a chasm that seemed insurmountable.Had I unknowingly hurt him?Was it Helios?Or something more?I tried again, my voice soft and gentle, hoping to break through the icy barrier that had formed around Alex.

    Helios's POV The next morning, I woke up feeling a mix of emotions. Today was the day I'd face Helios, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I pushed aside my doubts and began my morning routine. A warm bath relaxed my tense muscles, and I took my time getting dressed, choosing a simple yet elegant outfit.As I finished up, I grabbed my phone and texted Tracy. "Hey, I won't be around today. Heading to Helios' place. Will fill you in later." I hesitated for a moment before sending it, wondering if I should've told Alex instead.Shrugging off the thought, I slipped my phone into my pocket and headed out.The drive to Helios' estate was uneventful, my mind consumed by thoughts of what lay ahead. When I arrived, the gates swung open, and I pulled up to the grand entrance.Stepping out of the car, I took a deep breath. Helios' maids, Kaida and Lyra, greeted me with warm smiles."Welcome, Tasha," Kaida said. "Helios is expecting you."Lyra took my hand, leading me inside. "Let's get you settl

    Helios's POVI sat beside Tasha, my eyes drawn to her radiant smile. As she laughed and chatted, I found myself lost in the warmth of her presence. Ever since Valerie left, my heart hadn't been whole. The ache had lingered, a constant reminder of what I'd lost.Diavolo and Rohan - their names alone fueled my anger. I hated them for taking Valerie away, for shattering my dreams. But amidst that hatred, I'd consoled myself with the thought that at least Rohan hadn't gotten her either. It was a hollow victory, but it was something.Now, as I gazed at Tasha, memories flooded my mind. Old times, when Valerie's absence had broken my heart. I'd thought I'd never recover, never love again.But Tasha... she was different. Her sparkle, her laughter, it awakened something within me.As she spoke, her words painted vivid pictures in my mind. I listened intently, captivated by her passion.For a moment, the past faded away, replaced by the present. Tasha's presence soothed my scars, reminding me t

    Helios's POVI sat beside Tasha, my mind still reeling from the mix of emotions I'd been trying to deny. I couldn't shake off the feeling that she felt something too, but neither of us was willing to admit it. It was like we were stuck in a delicate dance, each waiting for the other to make the first move.As I glanced at her, I thought of Alex. Who was he, really? A friend, a foe, or something more? I pushed the thought aside, focusing instead on the present moment with Tasha.Tasha had many friends, and I knew I shouldn't read too much into our friendship. Yet, I couldn't help but feel drawn to her. My only issue now was getting rid of this unwanted feeling, this nagging sense of attachment.My past mistakes weighed heavily on me. Valerie had taken everything, including our children. The pain still lingered, a constant reminder of what I'd lost. But with Tasha, I felt a glimmer of hope, a chance to redeem myself.Still, I couldn't bring myself to open up to her, not yet. The fear of

I ambled towards the drawer near Rohan's table, searching for a pen. As I opened the drawer, a familiar face stared back at me.Valerie.My heart skipped a beat. Why did Rohan still have her picture? We were mated, bound by the moon's sacred ritual. Valerie was mated too, or so I thought. The memory of Rohan's past love still lingered, like an open wound.What's going on, Rohan? I wondered. Have you not moved on? Do you still harbor feelings for her?A pang of jealousy struck, followed by insecurity. Was our bond not strong enough? Did Rohan still long for the past?I gazed at the picture, my mind racing. I recalled the whispers among the pack members, the rumor

    Diana's POVI stood before the mirror, adjusting my crown. Pregnancy hadn't spared my energy, but I couldn't let that show. As queen, I had duties to fulfill."Valerie would do it," I whispered to myself. "She'd never let pregnancy slow her down."I took a deep breath, squaring my shoulders. I had to be strong, like Valerie.My lady-in-waiting, Sophia, curtsied. "Your Majesty, the council awaits."I nodded, smoothing my gown. "Let's proceed."The council chamber buzzed with activity.

I demanded, my eyes welling up.Rohan's expression softened slightly, but his tone remained firm."You really want to know?" he asked, his voice low.I nodded, desperation creeping in."Yes, I want to know."Rohan's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze piercing."Alex is acting weird, and you're acting stupid," he said bluntly.My heart skipped a beat. Acting stupid?"You're not thinking of your actions and their consequences," Rohan continued.I felt like I'd been slapped."How can you say that?" I whispered, tears streaming down my face.Rohan's face twisted in frustration."Because it's true, Diana. You're pushing yourself too hard, ignoring your health and our child's safety.

I've done everything to make her happy.I've given her all my attention, prioritized her and our unborn child above everything else. I've made sure she wants for nothing.But still, she cries.

Didn't he care that I was practically swooning over Helios?I seethed inwardly.

I wanted both.That's why I'd instructed Tracy to act reserved and calm around Alex. It was all part of the plan."Tracy, darling, don't flirt with Alex," I'd said earlier.
