Helena

My brother was so in love that he couldn’t see what was right in front of him! I could be wrong, and it could just be a huge mistake or a smidge on the paper, but my instincts told me I wasn’t wrong. It infuriated me that Liam couldn’t see it.

“Why are you so angry?” Bennie appeared beside me and I rolled my eyes, sighing deeply. When he was just my friend, I would have gladly told him, but things had changed, and I couldn’t just blurt things out anymore. I wasn’t entirely sure why, but that was how I felt.

“Because he won’t listen.” I threw my hands in the air. I felt shock run through my entire body when Bennie out of the blue put his arms around my waist and pulled me in closer. His warm body pressed up against mine, making my heart race just a little.

“Have you considered that he might have a good reason?” Bennie frowned and I rolled my eyes.

“Because he is thinking with his little brain and not the big one.” I raised one brow while trying to get out of his grip, but he was

    LouisaThe trip was exhausting but so worth it. Although the northern kingdom was a part of our kingdom, it almost looked as though we had stepped into another world. The winter was in the air, and it was fresh and crisp as it pulled into my lungs.I could feel that Liam was nervous and slightly anxious, and I wondered if me coming on the trip with him was what was making him so nervous. Our guards were on high alert for anything suspicious as we entered the town. The alpha greeted us looking upset, but Liam quickly put him in his place with a soft growl.We were settled in what I suspected was the old castle and Liam ordered the alpha to meet us in the office. He didn’t want me wandering around on my own and asked that I stick to his side the entire time before we entered the city. Liam demanded to see the original paperwork and the alpha started to stutter. Liam insisted, and he had no other choice but to hand it over.It was clear instantly that the paperwork had been changed and L

    LouisaThe pack was growing worse by the minute and I paced back and forth wishing that Liam would return. If anything happened now. If they broke through the defenses, we had. I would be all alone. I heard footsteps coming and when I looked up, he walked into the office. It felt as though he had been gone forever, but he had actually only been gone for a couple of hours.I ran straight into his arms and he clung to me. While stroking my hair, he tried to comfort me, but the noise from outside was drowning out his words. He lifted my chin and I looked into his eyes. I saw a confidence there I hadn’t even noticed before.“You are safe. I will make sure you stay safe. Okay?” He frowned, and it was as though his words and his confidence were giving me confidence. “Now, the men in prison all admitted to the crimes, and they also confirmed that nobody else was involved. The people you hear out there are upset because their alpha has been taken prisoner without a reason. We …” He hesitated.

    HelenaWhen we received the news that everything was okay, I felt as if the weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders. The missing grain was on the way back, but Liam and Louisa were spending a couple of days in the northern kingdom just to make sure that everything would stay okay. Having all of these different regions made it very hard to run the kingdom.It was just the way things were, and we had no other choice but to take care of all the people. Not that I didn’t love taking care of them. I just sometimes wish we weren’t the royal family. Now that there was peace again, the reality of my life came sharply into view.I needed to make a decision. If I put it off any longer, I would have another surge of heat and that would be very bad for our kingdom. From the stories I heard about the first time, it was really tough keeping the single male wolves out of the castle, and it was worse for Bennie.He was across the hall from me. I looked at him as he gave the warriors the

    LouisaThe news that Helena and Bennie had finally accepted each other came at just the right time. Liam was planning to stay in the northern kingdom for the winter, but I knew Helena wanted us to be there for the ceremony.“We can come back here in the spring. I’m sure it’s even more beautiful then.” I tried to convince him that it was for the best, but I could see he felt torn between his duty towards his people and his duty towards his sister.“If something happens while we are gone …” Liam’s voice trailed off, and I put my arms around his waist, looking deep into his eyes.“Then we will deal with it. How much trouble can they really cause during the winter, Liam? Nobody can go very far.” I shrugged and he nodded.“You are the reason to my wild side.” He smiled as he pulled me closer and kissed me. With that decision finally made, we started packing and, in the morning, we left the northern region. I had made a point of calling it that, since it wasn’t really a kingdom anymore, and

    LouisaWinter in the kingdom was usually very beautiful. Cold as hell but beautiful. I got up in the early morning hours after Helena and Bennie’s ceremony, and the entire world was covered in a beautiful white blanket. It looked so soft and inviting that I couldn’t wait to get out there. Soon the snow will be so thick that we won’t really be able to go out and do much.“Liam! Get up! Get up! It’s snowing. Helena was right.” I squealed with delight and jumped on the bed like a kid at yule.“Okay, okay. What about good morning first? Then a kiss, and then we spent the day in bed.” Liam grinned and I rolled my eyes.“There is no way I’m missing the first day of snow, mister. Get up!” I squealed as I jumped out of bed before he could seduce me. I felt like a young kid as we changed into winter clothes and made our way outside. All around the square and even up in the mountains, you could hear people laughing and screaming while they played in the snow.The smaller children were building

    LouisaOur entire family took turns taking care of me for a couple of days, while Liam took care of some business. He was still very worried about the northern region and what might have been going on over there. The snow hadn’t stopped falling for over a week when he came to see me looking very upset.At first, I thought something might have happened in the north, but I didn’t want to push him while he paced back and forth in front of our bed. I waited patiently while he huffed and sighed and pulled his fingers through his hair until finally, he turned to look at me.“I hate this. I hate being so busy and not being able to spend enough time with you. How are you feeling?” He looked worried, and I smiled to try and ease his concern.“I’m fine. Our mothers have made sure to give me all the advice they could, and I haven’t been sick for two days, which feels really great.” I shrugged and could see his shoulders relaxing. “Are you so stressed because of me?” I frowned and he sighed befor

    Helena“You can’t. You just can’t, Bennie.” I frowned and all around us the small council went silent as soon as my brother and Louisa walked in. Her appearance drew the attention of the small council away from what Bennie was saying, but as soon as the meeting started, I was ready to run for the damn hills.“Your majesty, I would like to volunteer to go to the north.” Bennie stood up as the meeting started, and I wished the earth would just open up and swallow me. I asked him not to do that. If it wasn’t safe for my brother to be there now, it sure as hell wasn’t safe for Bennie!Sadly, my mate heard about what had been going on and how worried Liam was, and he thought it was the perfect opportunity to prove he was worthy of his new title. Liam frowned for a moment and then looked at me.“Well, sister. I take it you have something to say about this?” Liam looked amused as soft mumbles could be heard from the rest of the small council. I could say no and then that would be the end of

    LouisaI thought Bennie was being very brave, but I also knew that speaking up like that during a small council meeting did not bode very well. Bennie and I were only there to observe, really. We didn’t have any authority unless … Unless our mates were killed. I could also imagine how Helena must be feeling. She didn’t want me and Liam to go, and now Bennie was going.I wished that there was something I could do to ease the burden on all of them, but this was what we were here for. We were the royals. We had to be strong and do the difficult things to protect our packs. To protect everyone in our kingdom. If something really was brewing in the north. We needed to know sooner rather than later.I joined the small group in the armoury in the late evening. Liam wasn’t happy that I wanted to be there, but I felt that someone had to be there to comfort Helena. It broke my heart to watch her as she said goodbye. It broke my heart to watch all of them say goodbye.Liam didn’t want anyone to

    EmilyI pushed to break through a mind link and I finally felt it releasing. He was one of us.“My apologies, your majesty. I have been gone for so long, it is difficult to open my pack link.” He finally answered through the link and I studied him carefully before ordering the guards to stand down.“Who are you and why have you been gone for so long?” I frowned. I couldn’t remember any of our spies being out in the world. Everyone had returned home for the celebration.“I’m Ares, your majesty. I was sent out by your father three years ago to try and find you a mate.” His cheeks turned red and I rolled my eyes. “I guess I know now why I couldn’t find one.”AroraThe news about Emily’s mate spread like wildfire through the kingdom, and before she even walked through the doors with Ares, we knew she had met him. Ares was one of Bernard’s young recruits that should have formed part of the queen’s guard, but Bernard sent him out to try and find a mate for our daughter.We hadn’t heard from

    AroraI kept my promise. The day that Bernard and I retired from royal life and handed over the reigns to our daughter Emily was the proudest day of our lives. She had grown into one of the kindest people I had ever known, while at the same time standing her ground when it was needed.She was strong and brave even though she had not faced a war. She was ready to rule, and the people were ready for her to take over. Emily was much loved by our people as she had grown up in the streets of the city and knew most of them by name.She took all the lessons I taught her over the years to heart and made sure that the people were taken care of long before she became queen. I could hear the rumours again of how much she reminded the people of the old rogue queen, and it made me feel proud that the pack loved her that much.Sadly, new rumours were starting to flare up all over the city, and they unsettled us a little. Emily was old enough now to mate, but unlike most of the royals, she didn’t fi

    AroraForgiving the royal family a second time was probably one of the toughest things I ever had to do, but I knew that if I didn’t, there would be no end to the cruelty that would definitely follow. I had preached forgiveness before everything happened, and this gave me the opportunity to again remind people how to forgive.I made sure they saw me happily interacting with the royal family at each event and I made sure the royals that remained spent time with the people. The kingdom grew prosperous again under Bernard’s rule, and with my help, the people became happy again. We announced my pregnancy soon after I passed the second month mark, and very soon after that, I began to show.The royal baby grew fast in my belly as time slowly ticked by. I spent my days in the old queen’s vegetable gardens and tending to the flower gardens as much as my body would allow. I joined the omegas to do the shopping for the castle and made sure I knew what every one of our supplier’s problems were,

    AroraMy omegas helped me to get dressed early the next morning. Having a warm and comfortable bed to sleep in and proper food to fill my belly, helped me to at least get some sleep. I was sure that the news about my release had already spread through the kingdom and was surprised when I walked into the dining room and saw the faces of the royals.Most of them were covered in shame as they should be, but I held my head high and took my seat beside Bernard. After the omega left the night before, Bernard told me everything that happened. He told me how he tried to find evidence against Irina and that he only believed her for a short while. It hurt to think that he had so little trust in me, but I pushed it to the back of my mind.None of them were to blame for any of this. Irina was the one who was to blame. She was the one who was going to face trial now and, thanks to Bernard’s genius plan, they had more than enough evidence to sentence Irina without spending much time on a trial.“Ar

    AroraBernard took his time. He even postponed the trial for two days so they could find a witch to explain what each item in their mound of evidence was used for. My only glimmer of light was seeing Irina losing her patience the longer Bernard postponed the inevitable. It was clear as day from the looks I was getting in court. All the nobles believed that I was guilty.Bernard was digging deeper into the hole with each move. I didn’t have any hope that they were going to save me. Even with the visits from Bernard and his mother. I don’t trust them anymore. My fate was sealed. Now he just had to make the final decision. He had to judge me. He had to decide how and when I would be killed.IrinaThe glass flew through the air and shattered against the wall as I screamed out in frustration. My cousin was just postponing the inevitable in the hopes that I would slip up. I noticed he now had four guards following my every move. I couldn’t even use the secret passages without having them po

    AroraPrincess Helena snuck into the dungeons to see me, and she brought me some food, but I was still so cold that I was having trouble moving. I also wasn’t sure if I could trust the food they were giving me. If they saw me as a traitor, they could very well try to poison me. My trust in all of them had been shattered, and I wasn’t sure if it would ever be possible to repair it.I had been waiting for this shoe to drop since the very moment I found out Bernard was my mate. Almost as though I knew they would just turn around and betray me, but I started to trust them and believe that they would trust me. I couldn’t help the way I was feeling. They all turned on me so fast after seeing all those things in Irina’s little secret room.Nobody believed me. It was as though none of them really knew me at all. Why would I ever trust any of them again? Bernard’s face came to mind and I felt my heartache. He should have believed me right from the start. He should have trusted me. He should ha

    AroraIt wasn’t as cold on the cot as it was on the floor, but the night was long, and it still felt like the cold had found its way into my bones. I had no idea what was going on upstairs and, if I was honest, I didn’t care. They were so eager to believe Irina that they didn’t see how cruel she was.They all deserved whatever she had planned for them. I knew she made sure the proof pointed to me, but I couldn’t help myself. They should all have known by now that I wouldn’t have done that. Yet, even Bernard believed I was the traitor. I wasn’t sure if we would ever be able to find our way back to each other after all of this.The memory of Bernard visiting me and whispering came to mind and I pushed it to the back of my mind. I didn’t dare hope that things would work out in the end. Irina had been far too clever so far. She was going to make sure Bernard wouldn’t be able to prove my innocence. She was going to make sure the entire family believed her lies.The cold pushed through my t

    BernardNone of this made any sense. Unless I didn’t know Arora as well as I thought I did, but I couldn’t imagine her doing the kinds of things Irina had accused her of. We found notes in the room that referred to even worse actions and I didn’t want to even think about it.I was torn between what I thought I knew and what possibilities there were. Was Arora a cruel and evil person who took revenge on our family or was she the kind heart that helped us to save our family from total ruin? Not that I thought the pack would ever revolt against us.I sat back in my office chair, not wanting to go to our room and not wanting to face my family. There were still far too many unanswered questions and I wanted to be able to answer at least some of them when I faced them again. The most prominent would probably be if I was going to put Arora on trial.“What are you doing here alone, cousin?” Irina wondered in my office and I sighed deeply. She was the last person I wanted to deal with right no

    Arora“She planned this.” My voice was soft, but one of two of them heard me. “Irina planned this!” I shouted. “My omega followed her today and found the room. Irina wants all of you to think that I’m the traitor so she can get rid of me. Bernard, you have to believe me.”“His Majesty, don’t have to believe one word that comes out of your traitorous mouth!” Irina shouted from the back. “Your father was a traitor, and so are you!” She hissed and I could feel the atmosphere turning.“We need to hear from the omega, Bernard.” Princess Helena spoke up, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The omega was dragged up the stairs and I could see in her eyes that this wasn’t going to go my way. She kept looking at Irina and I wondered what happened in the short time we were apart. What could Irina have done? She was right there with me the entire time.“Please tell us what happened this morning.” Princess Helena took the lead.“I … Please, don’t make me do this.” The omegas eyes filled with tears as
