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 elder of the eight tribe, Damon, was fully dressed up for the Alpha’s birthday party when one of his servants rushed in to inform him about the arrival of his goods. Since the eighth tribe were known for their influence in the trading association, they were the tribe in charge of importing goods into the pack and the Elder controls everything that is being brought in. His own goods had been delayed for months and upon hearing the news that they had finally arrived, he pushed back the party to attend to the merchants before anything else. Springing up from his seat, he cleared his throat, “Lead the way” he commanded. The huge door to the underground storage parted to greet them with whirling noises coming from the ventilators in the basement and the men behind him needed not another word before they knew what to do. It was not their first time after all. They pushed the cart into the huge storage filled with shelves of different types and heights. With his hand glued to his bac
Everyone present was surprised at the way Alpha Draco acted towards the news of the Luna collapsing. It is no news that they weren’t getting along, but her being in that state does call for his attention. Chief Kinn wanted to go in regardless of the command he gave, but Beta Gray stopped her. “What happened to the Luna? Why did she collapse?” he questioned, and the lady turned to answer him. “She came in contact with the virus” she responded, hesitantly. His eyes bulged at the response, “She came in contact with the virus? How?” he could wrap his head around the information being passed to him. Chief Kinn sighed “I don’t know the content of the story but she’s in a critical condition”, she added, and bowed her head slowly. “I will talk to him, please attend to her first”, he assured her, and she left with a heavy heart. She has always been rational and protective of the palace in general, so she didn’t pick a side between the queen and the Alpha, but this situation was different.
Immediately Amy took over, she extended the working hours of the maids to twelve at midnight instead of ten in the night. She made sure that the kitchen made food over and over to her own taste and satisfaction. “There should be no food for the Luna’s quarters. Tell the maid to come down here and prepare the food herself”, she instructed. “You cannot do that, Luna is sick and the only attendant she has is taking care of her. The food should be sent to her quarters”. Chief Kinn tackled her only to be met with a hot slap. Everyone was shocked. She moved closer, “Do I look like I was seeking your opinion? I am the one in charge here, so do as I said before, I have you beaten to shreds!” she gritted, her anger boiling every second. Chief Kinn couldn’t be concerned at her threat, she had lived long in the palace and had enough power to stop herself from being humiliated. “I control all the affairs of the maids and servants here, there is no single one! I mean no single one is exempted
Prince Klaux finished his session of tears and Han advised his aide to take him back to his room in order to prevent others from knowing about his current vulnerable state.“I will tell you when she’s awake and we will surely find the cure, she cannot die” she assured him before sending him off.Han spent all night tendering to Helena, who was busy groaning in her sleep. She was sweating profusely and in a lot of pain. Even though Han was so weak and tired, she managed to pull through and tend to her without sleeping off.She finally lost the battle to sleep and slept off beside Helena. Slight brushes of fingers around her forehead made her withdraw her head before opening her eyes to see Helena beside her. She was already awake but something was weird.She had taken her bath and changed her outfit.Helena questioned, scanning her from head to toe “How did you…?” and she cut in “Did I change my clothes and take my bath? Well, that’s because I am fine now” she replied.Han had to grope
He was surprised at the sudden soberness of someone who almost broke down the whole building just to seek audience with him. He was already expecting her to attack him with the degree of rage she came in with but here she was on the floor, on her knees, groveling on behalf of her master. “What did you just say? I couldn’t hear” he asked, leaning forward. “Please save Luna, she’s at the brink of death. She must not die like this” she pleaded, closing her eyes in defeat. “She’s at the brink of death? So what does that have to do with me? What should I do about that? Why are you disturbing the peace of my chamber just because of the Luna who is at the brink of death?” he growled, his voice shook everywhere. She stood there absorbing all the growls and screams while folding her wrists to suppress the anger she felt as the harsh words fell from the lips of the cruel Alpha. “You really shouldn’t be acting like this, my Alpha!” she responded, fighting tears with all her might. Alpha Dra
ALPHA DRACO’S POV I didn’t know I still had a space for her in my heart until I heard she was dying. The thought of me not being able to see her anymore pricked my heart and made it an unbearable pain. How could she die just like that? How am I supposed to carry on? The hatred that surges inside of me whenever I see her is the only reason why I am still living. I would have died long ago. If she’s dying, then there will be no one to channel my hate on anymore and that would be a time-stopping moment in my life. However, I was not sure if I was acting out of hatred and confusion when I saw her frail body in front of me. She was almost lifeless, all her energy and strength had disappeared. I tried calling her name but nothing came out, it had been years since I called her by her name. It was too heavy and difficult to say. “He…le ..Helena” I finally was able to call out her name after so much effort and she slowly opened her eyes to look at me even though they were still slightly b
Amy finally hears from the spies she planted about what happened at Helena’s quarters and how Han broke into the Alpha’s chamber. Her brows cocked at the news “You mean her aide broke into the Alpha’s chamber after beating up all the maids in front of the door?” she questioned again to be sure. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. The informant nodded aggressively to confirm her curiosity and her fist folded. “That incumbent snub!” she cursed under her breath. Adjusting her position, she asked further. “So what happened next? What did the Alpha say? What exactly did she tell the Alpha after barging in?” “No one knew what they both discussed, but one thing was surprising.” “And what was it?” her neck stretched forward. “The Alpha sprinted to the Luna’s chamber. I have never seen him worked up that way in my years of serving him. It was as if he realized something he didn’t know all this while”, the spy explained. “So where is he now? Is he still in her chamber? I heard sh
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
