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
HELENA’S POV “Because I love you!” that line made time stop for me. It came so sudden and unexpected that it shattered all the guards I had put up around me and left me staring into space like a fool who missed her direction. Did I just hear him say he loved me? Draco loves me? The sickness must have been doing things for me because I kept imagining the impossible. There was no way Draco would stand in front of me to declare his love. Up to a week ago, he was at my throat wishing for my death and he’s here right now to declare his love for me? What a joke. I cackled for a bit before it escalated into a loud laugh which made him puzzled. “You have gotten funnier from what I know” I spat out, finding my seat on the bed once more. “What do you mean, Helena? I am saying the truth here”, he preached further and I paused. “And what exactly is the truth that you want me to see?” I countered. He did hesitate a bit but he said it again, “I love you Helena”, slowly and more loving this t
Helena was finally discharged from the hospital since she had recovered rapidly but she wouldn’t talk about what she found in the medical record she saw at the library the other day before. She screamed crazily and fainted. The car pulled up in front of one of the mansions at the palace and Draco rushed to help puzzled Helena down the car. “What are we doing here? This is not my quarters” she questioned, looking around. “I ordered all your things to be moved here. You will be staying in this comfortable place from now on”, he informed her. Her eyes rolled on their own accord. He was trying so hard to please her but she was not in the mood for it. “I prefer my quarters. It is small, cozy, nice and convenient” she stated, trying to return to the car, but Han grabbed her hand to stop her. Han shook her head. “Don’t” she motioned. “That’s true. Don’t refuse this place. It will be more effective for you considering your condition and you are entitled to it after all. You are the Luna
