The elders were disturbed by what had happened at the wedding and knew that with the way those kings and Alphas turned up for Helena’s wedding and coronation ceremony, their chances of being able to impeach her without it backfiring has dropped to the bottom line. “How did she gather such personalities in just a span of two years that she was sent out of the pack? This is terrifying” the elder of the ninth tribe remarked, as he paced up and down in the meeting room. The elder of the seventh tribe didn’t hesitate to support the claim, he was also surprised about how she was able to influence such great people. “This is now beyond our control, I am not sure even the Alpha would be able to do anything like dethroning her at this point. I am very sure she had all these planned before coming here to make all these outrageous demands” he declared and others supported by either hitting the table or clapping their palms. “If we don’t act fast, I am afraid she will only become more rooted as
HELENA’S POV I marched to the reception room where the elder of the fourth tribe was waiting for me. I was prepared to give her the maximum problem if she comes with the mindset that half of the problems they have with me has been solved since they are done with the preparation for the separation ritual. Immediately I opened the door to the room, she stood up and bowed her head with her hands placed under her abdomen in respect which amazed me because that was the way of showing respect to the royals. I was not expecting any respect from the elders since they are all so bent on making my life a living hell before even impeaching me. “You are welcome, my Queen” she greeted, her head bowed to the lowest to show the grey hair split apart at the center of her head. Even though the greeting was uncomfortable, I was still entitled to it so I didn’t feel burdened that much for a long time. I returned her greetings and went to my seat so we could discuss the details of the rituals. “I hav
The next morning, Helena woke up with so much relief on her side where she was hurt and went straight to where her son, Jerry, was sleeping with Secretary Han. She had offered to help her pet him to sleep so she could relieve all the stresses she had passed through in the past few days. Since she had always been Jerry’s closest friend, he didn’t have any issues being comfortable with her and also sleeping soundly by her side. Helena bent a little forward, while being careful not to lean on broken ribs as she stroked the soft cheeks of her beautiful baby who only flinched at her touch before continuing his sweet sleep. “You are so cute, even when you are deep asleep and that is why you are my baby” she muttered, adoration filling her eyes as she stared continuously at him before Secretary Han spoke up. Secretary Han rolled to the side, creating a space for her on the bed with her eyes half opened, “Should I get off so you can sleep by his side? You must have missed him all through th
HELENA’S POV Throughout the day, I kept thinking about why Amy was in Draco’s bed, even though I didn’t make it obvious. She was laughing at me when I came because she had the upper hand in having his heart, I guess, but I found it more annoying than I thought I would. It’s not that I want Draco, but the thought of Amy being a nuisance to me just because she had crawled into his bed was infuriating. “Gosh! She’s annoying with her entire being” I muttered, pausing to puff out the air in my tensed lungs. Secretary Han went out to prepare for the ritual with the elders of the fourth tribe in order to monitor any strange activities they might have had in mind. Evening came and I was taken out of the palace to the clinic yard where the separation ritual would be taking place. The leader of the fourth tribe was already in her ritual robe, all her subordinates were also dressed and placed in their right positions. White ribbons and clothes were wrapped around the four corners of the yard
The elders had previously met without the consent of Elder Conri and Boris before the ritual took place. They came together to persuade the Elder of the fourth tribe who would be in charge of the ritual to mess with the ritual in order to rope Helena in a mess and that would provide an opportunity for them to oust her successfully. “I really cannot trust Elder Boris and Elder Conri now because they are wrapped in her trap. As long as their child is lying at the mercy of that shameless woman, they will not make a decision as an elder of the pack but as a parent”. The Elder of the seventh tribe raised his voice. The elders were first reluctant to respond to his claims, but after he carefully analyzed everything and how it was an insult to the pack that the daughter of the couple who murdered the previous Alpha is now married to the son, they started to think positively of his move. “So what do you want me to do?” the Elder of the fourth tribe asked, adjusting her seat. “What do you m
HELENA’S POV I didn’t flinch or feel afraid in the dark room even though the squeaking noises of my friends keeping me company on the cold floor was becoming annoying and disrupting my thoughts. I stood calm and collected in the prison cell while waiting for the decision of both the elders and the Alpha himself. One thing was certain, they would come searching for me sooner or later because the patients are at a very sensitive and critical stage but without me around to administer their required dosages, Secretary Han would never do that on my behalf and it will trigger the patients, sending them into a shock which should have been prevented if this didn’t happen. The elders’ voices were loud enough that I could hear faint noises from the walls of my new room. “Those creatures are fucking too loud for people who are incompetent” I muttered with a tired sigh, my eyes closing to get the sleep I have been deprived of for days. I actually fell asleep in that pigsty without minding the
The Elder of the seventh tribe got his face scratched by an angry Draco and was rushed to the infirmary where he would be treated, but he kept yelling at everyone not to touch him. The anger about his plans going down the drain and also being dropped by the other elders who didn’t come to his help was eating him up and no one needed to tell him that he had gotten on the bad side of Alpha Draco. “Why would you even do such a stupid thing? Why would you throw the whole Luna into the prison without the Alpha’s permission? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” His wife scolded him as she tended to his wound, but he wouldn’t have it. He flipped the water in the bowl in front of him in anger to protest. “Why would you call that traitor our Luna? You are one of the problems we have in this pack! That woman should not be putting on the crown of this pack for what she and her family members have done” he growled, and his wife, who was tired of his tantrum, threw the towel in her hand. “The
Helena resumed her work at the clinic the next day without hesitation and everyone couldn’t hide their gladness that she was still ready to treat them even after the mess that had happened. An old woman whose grandson was part of those being treated staggered forward with a packed box of apples in her hands. “Thank you for not giving up on us. I know how hard it must have been but you still came back. This is my little gratitude since I have no money to pay for the bills” the poor woman stated, her eyes filled with gratitude. She was not comfortable with the gift since she trusted no one and turned it down immediately. “You don’t need to pay for the treatment because the pack has covered all expenses. You should eat the apple with your grandson when he’s finally cured”, she answered politely, and resumed her walk when the woman blocked her path. “I have enough to eat with my grandson. This is just a token of my gratitude because you did not allow anyone to tear you down. Even thoug
The fight at the border had been quite fierce due to several intruders trying to sneak into the pack because of the pack flourishing. “We just rounded up some spies we caught trying to enter the pack. They are now in the back quarters”. One of the soldiers rushed to update Prince Klaux who was just coming back from another mission. With a tired sigh, he gulped down a bottle of water and signaled to his assistant. “Let’s go and check them out. This is really getting out of hand” he said, and left with the soldier. The spies were interrogated and they confessed that they were on a mission to find out the manufacturing process of the cures that were being developed at the pack’s research lab. “Which pack sent you?” he questioned “The bluemoon pack”, one of the spies responded. “I hear of new packs every day” he groaned as his hands found their way to his waist. He turned to his assistant and scratched his head for a while, “Feed them, give them a place to sleep and send them on the
Prince Klaux had been frequently visiting Han ever since she had been on the sick bed, even though he didn’t exactly know the reason why. “You always find yourself here. You both didn’t have anything going on while she was still fine though”, Vincent once said to him, and he smiled a bit. “I know right, we never had anything going on. I guess I just missed seeing her standing by cutie’s side. No one to bicker and argue with, it feels weird” he responded, and Vincent chuckled. “You really need to think about it further. Something might be kicking in”, Vincent remarked, and he denied it vehemently. “What do you mean kicking in? You are just blabbering nonsense” he muttered, but Vincent only patted his shoulder before leaving him. That very day, he came by after leaving the proposal party. He came to check up on her since it had been a while due to the fact that he was away from the palace. “You seem to be doing well over there, seeing you don’t want to come back here anymore. I gue
The priestess treated Jerry and told her that she would have to hope that the moon goddess would have mercy and grant him another spirit wolf in the nearest future because nothing could be done anymore, since the spirit wolf was killed after being torn away from him. For days, Helena couldn’t digest the news. She couldn’t eat, move or do anything. Nothing made her happy no matter what anyone did. She couldn’t rid herself of the guilt that her son had to face such a terrible fate because she was not there to protect her son, thanks to her obsession with the cure. She lost interest in everything and was ready to give it up. Alpha Draco gave orders for Elder Damon to be executed publicly and his family were turned into slaves, Amy’s entire tribe was banned and a letter was sent to every pack not to accommodate them with the notification of their crimes. Ava was hanged as an accomplice to the crime and her family were sent out of the pack. Both Helena and Vincent got healed from the vir
HELENA’S POV I played all day with Jerry who was now very big. He was growing so well that I felt bad not involved lately in his growing process but I needed to find the cure in order to be by his side. I came back from his quarters and went down straight to the lab where I found out that Vincent had injected himself with the cure we recently developed. “Why would you do that? Who would attend to me?” I lashed out at him and Han gave me his note “It is brutal to keep watching you battle with the pain of the cure every time. Let’s share the pain together this time around” was what was written in the note Han said to me, “You don’t need to be afraid, I will be the attending doctor” and I nodded. I trusted her enough after all I was given the shot and placed under observation. It didn’t take up to three minutes before I fell asleep but I felt my furs sprout and my claws coming out before I lost consciousness. The next thing I woke up to was everyone fighting and running for their liv
Draco was coming back from where he went to deliver flowers as usual to Helena but he was not let in on her orders. That didn’t annoy him nonetheless, he only wanted to keep trying till she would open up to her. He was passing by the kitchen when he witnessed the sight where Amy was trying to pick on Chief Kinn, even to the extent of slapping her. He paused at the door to take a look around from one maid to the other before he started entering the kitchen till he got to Amy. “What do you think you are doing right now?” he growled at her and everywhere shook. He was so livid at the sight in front of him and the bitterness he had for Amy added fuel to the fire. “I was only trying to teach her some lessons, why is that a problem?” Amy countered, not backing down easily “Are you asking me if that is a problem right now? Can you listen to yourself?” he growled hard and rushed towards her in anger. She shuddered at the sight of his anger, she had never seen him that way. His furs sprou
The sending of several types of flowers from Alpha Draco continued day and night but I couldn’t bring myself to send him any response even though I loved the flowers. I didn’t want to give him any false hope, fall in love with him and disappear like the passing wind when death comes. It was better how we were neither enemies nor friends. “I only have to fulfil my purpose. Any other thing should not be attached. He should just focus on being the best father for our son” I stated when Han was trying to convince me to spend the little time I have with him instead of avoiding him “You might come to regret this when it’s extremely too late. It is best you enjoy everything you can now” Han insisted but I just tucked myself under the blanket and faced the other side. I couldn’t stop crying at the fact that I wouldn’t be able to stay by Draco’s side after we cleared the misunderstanding. I wouldn’t lie, I still loved him dearly. We were both torn by the greedy adults but we managed to pull
B Beta Gray was surely stunned at my reaction as I rushed towards him and jumped in his hand. He wasn’t expecting it but then he couldn’t allow me to fall so he had to catch me so fast. “Uh.. Uhmm.. You didn’t.. uhm have to.. uhm” he kept stammering and Alpha Draco came to his aid. “She didn’t have to hug you, right? I support that fully” Alpha Draco commented with a fake frown, and we all laughed at his remark. “So you managed to retrieve this from Elder Damon’s house? It’s well written and decoded”, Vincent stated as he flipped through the book. “Yes, the man with the scar has been captured too. He’s the closest aide to Elder Damon. He’s in custody at the prison”. Beta Gray chipped in with a bragging right and Vincent smiled. “He should also have the taste of what being locked up against your will looks like. I hope he rots in there”, Vincent remarked coldly before raising the book. “Since what we need is here, we should get to work as soon as possible” he added, and I agreed
HELENA’S POV Everyone was happy that I was finally awake after a long week and the Alpha instructed the kitchen to throw me a mini-feast. “Whatever she wants should be cooked for her with immediate effect. Nothing should be left undone for her, take care of all her orders with optimum care and swiftness”, he ordered, and the maids had no choice but to agree with him. “Why are you putting so much pressure on them? It’s not like I can eat more than my stomach”, I argued, but he shook his head. “You deserve everything” he declared, and I gave him a suspicious side eye. “What do you mean by that line? You are being cheesy for no reason”, I attacked, and the Alpha sighed in frustration. He moved closer to where I was attending to the flowers by the window and let out a small cough. “Helena, are you still going to continue this way? Don’t you think it’s high time I was forgiven?” he carefully asked, and my hands paused. I turned to look at him and dropped the napkin in my hand. “Dra
I finally opened my eyes after being unconscious for two days and I saw Vincent studying hard at the table close to the window at the far end of the room. I groaned slightly as I tried rolling to the side in order to stand up, but no matter how I tried, it was an impossible task. “Are you finally awake? Don’t try hard to stand up, you can never stand up for now”, Vincent cautioned and started to walk towards me when he heard my groans “Why can’t I stand up?” I questioned, losing the fight against standing up and lying there. “The treatment I placed you on is so strong that it won’t wear off for the next three days. I know that you will never rest if I tell you ordinarily, so I have to place you in absolute rest against your will and I am not sorry to take that decision”, he said boldly, and I just smiled. I knew Vincent to be stubborn and strict, so it was not surprising to see him act that way. We are both stubborn and determined, it was obvious that I wouldn’t allow that if I wer
