*A MONTH LATER* Helena finally got used to her baby not being around her and continued to live her life of being at the clinic most of the time while also addressing every other issue that pertained to her position in the palace without hesitation. She had been trying her best to find the man with the mark through Han, who would go undercover into the town but couldn’t find any trace of the man. Although she decided to give up for the time being, she still vowed to do anything it takes her to find the man whenever she sees any clue that will lead to him. Fortunately, her chance finally came one afternoon when the chief doctor of the tenth tribe came over to the clinic to oversee the affairs of the clinic, since it was their tribe that manages the medicinal affairs of the pack. As they looked around and talked about things that might need improvement, the Chief got a notification that he had a guest who was waiting for him in the lobby. “Let’s go back to the lobby. I will come over
*FEW YEARS AGO* One of the scientists in the human world was faced with urgency to make a drug for a boil plaque that swarmed this country. The plaque was spreading so fast that it killed thousands of people in the country just in the span of three days. All the doctors were trying hard to find the cause but nothing was coming forth, they were all dying instead, which made it difficult for anyone to approach the illness not to talk about studying how it works. People kept losing hope day after day until the bold doctor stood up and did research over and over. After two weeks of trying hard, he finally developed something he felt would work but he needed people who could volunteer themselves to get the drug tested. Since the people who already had the sickness felt they would die, they volunteered themselves as lab rats but something unique happened. There was a werewolf between them. The innocent doctor, who didn’t know that fact, went to inject everyone with the cure he had develop
HELENA’S POV Everything was starting to make sense, the pieces that had always been confusing were coming together one after the other. Some things had happened in the pack that I didn’t even know of because I didn’t live in the pack till I was twenty-two. My parents were always busy with their research and medical affairs of the pack, since they were high quality doctors and they got worried that I might not be receiving enough love due to their frequent absence. “Do you want to live with your family outside the pack? You will get to play with your mates that you like and also see an entire new world” my mother once asked me when I was about seven. Without hesitation, I accepted the offer and I was taken outside the pack to live with my extended family. I met many people there and made many friends since I finished all my education at my family’s place. I returned to the pack when I graduated as a medical doctor so as to work with my parents at the pack’s clinic, but I didn’t step
That afternoon, a loud horn blasted in front of the palace and suddenly disrupted the peace of the palace. Everyone at the security point rushed out in surprise to check what was happening and who would be doing something as barbaric as that, but as soon as they got out, they found out only one person would have the guts to carry out such actions. Prince Klaux. With a loud tire screeching sound, he drove into the compound at a high speed till he finally stopped the car in the middle of the palace’s compound. “Hey, Yo! I’m back!” he screamed, jumping out of the car with a loud noise. Everyone gasped at his craziness and how he hadn’t even changed one bit after over a year when he went away from the palace suddenly. Chief Kinn sighed at the sight of him marching in. “Now we have another problem to take care of” she muttered, and marched away from the corridor before he saw her. She was not ready for his problem, at least not now. As soon as she was in a safe place, she motioned to
Beta Gray couldn’t contain his feelings, he just had to lash out at Alpha Draco about how he was ignoring his own son. “Do you think you will not regret this? How can a father be so cold to his son? That little child tugged at your cloth! The least you can do is to smile and carry him, even if it was for a moment! The child did nothing wrong. Any problem you have is between you and the Luna, not the poor boy.” Draco didn’t want to hear any of it, he had so much going on in his head than to be swayed or bothered about carrying a child. “Whenever I see him, I am reminded of his mother, so why should I touch him?” he argued. Beta Gray paused! “Wait! By chance, are you thinking maybe you are not the father of the child?” Beta Gray asked, his eyes furrowed into a frown. “I mean, what is the assurance that he’s my child? There’s nothing I can trust about that woman”, Draco shrugged, only to be met with a piercing but sharp scream from Gray that made him jump. With a heaving breath an
She knew he was dead serious about running away with her, but why should she accept the proposal? She had come here for a mission which she had not even accomplished and she had many other things to uncover. It’s not like she doesn’t know the reason why he’s suggesting that, but she is not the type to pull out of something she has set her mind on except she accomplishes it and that will be the case this time too. “What do you mean run away with you? I am the Luna of this pack, so why run away?” she joked, smiling to cover it up, but he didn’t reciprocate the smile. “I am being serious about it right now, cutie. I just don’t want you to go through pain you do not deserve. Even if everyone doesn’t trust you, I do” he compelled her but she only smiled harder. “I know you trust me and I appreciate that so much, but what must be done, must be done at all costs. Like you have said, I didn’t come here to giggle and just occupy the position, I am here to fight through the pain and hatred u
Amy was not sure about to react to the sudden attack coming from Prince Klaux, she froze on her seat and could only glance from the Prince to the Alpha who didn’t even bother to say anything, and he focused on the food in front of him. “I am sorry for coming late, I will keep your warning in mind” she answered politely, avoiding the dagger Prince Klaux was already prepared to throw at her if she had proved stubborn. She had also heard about how jovial he was to people he likes and stern to people he doesn’t. Judging from his behavior towards her, no one needed to tell her that he didn’t like her. Even though she doesn’t know why, at least yet. “Now that you are back to the palace, what do you plan to do? Or do you plan to just lounge around in laziness? There is no room for that here” Alpha Draco declared sharply but Prince Klaux was not shaken by the stern voice, he had known for his brother all his life after all. “I will get to work when I want, there is no need to rush me. Befo
DRACO’S POV Ever since Prince Klaux came back to the palace, Helena had been all smiles. I didn’t expect him to just forget and forgive what happened to our parents easily, like that, but given how free and pure he was, he never blamed Helena for the sins of her parents and instead accepted her as if nothing ever happened. How he was able to put that past him was still a mystery because he was the one that almost died with our parents during that time. He almost cried his eyeballs out, he kept fainting and waking up for days and I was scared that he might actually die. Seeing him behave like this made me think about how I should just have let him die back then. “He’s a nutcase, I just cannot get what is going on in his head” I muttered to myself as I was strolling through the palace the next morning after the general breakfast only to look up and check what was going on because the palace was so loud. It was Prince Klaux! He was driving around the new car Helena got him and screec
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
