Several months back, Helena got an invitation to treat a VIP when she was still in the human world. She knew it was a life-changing opportunity and asked for something order than money in return. “Promise me that you will always honor my request anytime I need your help” she politely stated to the king, who was desperately trying to save his only son. “Once you can cure my son, I promise to always be of help to you whenever you call on me”, he promised, and removed one of the rings on his fingers to seal the vow before giving it to her. “Just show me this ring and I will remember my vow” he added, and she proceeded to treat the sick son. The Prince was already at the brink of death, even Helena was not sure if she would be able to save him at that point, but the encouragement from Han kept her going and trying her best till he finally survived. During her stay with the King and his people at the palace, she could notice that Princess Amelia loved adornment so much. Even at the tim
Helena had set up one of the maids working for her for the job. She had recently caught her in the act of spying on her and giving reports to Amy and pretended not to notice till she was ready to deal with her. While she was making her plan, she also figured out that she would be the perfect person for the job. Using her crime against her, she was able to send her on the mission of stealing the diamond necklace from the room. “You will steal the necklace during dinner and place it in Amy’s chambers. Then, after dinner, you will go back and pretend to steal the fake one I will be placing in replacement of the stolen one. At the point of moving out, collide with a flower vase to cause an attraction and then run for your life. When the truth is out, just confess that Amy was the one that sent you to steal it and leave everything to me”, she explained. The poor maid’s mind went blank as her eyes and palms got sweaty. It was a big assignment that could either turn her world around or mak
At the order of Alpha Draco, the guards rushed to where Amy was sitting on the ground and lifted her to position her on her knees. She struggled for a bit but soon gave up since she was easily overpowered by the strong men. Helena smirked as she strode to her front so they could see eye to eye, a happy grin crawling to the corner of her mouth because of her successful plan. She wasn’t sure if she would fall into the trap in the first place, but since habits hardly die, she was able to lure her in without even getting involved directly. “You know I didn’t do it, why are you doing this to me?” Amy cried out to her as she approached where she knelt down. She shrugged. “There is no evidence that you didn’t do it” was her reply. Amy went silent for a second before screaming “Check the CCTV! It should be there.” “Unfortunately, the CCTVs have been under maintenance since yesterday so they are down. I guess you are the only one who didn’t know” she replied. Amy’s shoulders dropped. It
“Get your filthy hands off me right this instant!” Amy yelled at the maid who was stripping off her royal robe. “Stay still, I can’t get the buttons out” one of the maids remarked, struggling to keep her still. Before anyone could blink, a harsh slap landed on the maid’s right cheek and a wave of silence swept through the entire room as the maids all paused at her reaction. Chief Kinn, who was sitting at the side of the room, stood up at that instant and walked closer to where they were standing. Everyone waited for her to talk about what had just happened but she just stood there for a while, glancing from one person to the other. At the twinkle of an eye, a loud whoashing sound was heard across the room and everyone was bewildered. The maids turned their necks to see Amy holding onto her cheeks in horror and their eyes bulged at the scene. Did Amy just get slapped by Chief Kinn? “You are under a punishment for the next three months and you are at the same level as those people y
Beta Gray sent a notification to all tribes to gather in the meeting room so as to update them about the latest developments in the pack and also about the punishment of the third tribe. All the elders and other officials trooped into the palace a few minutes before the set time and they all assumed their various seats inside the large hall while waiting for both Alpha and Beta, who walked in at the last minute. “Accept our greetings, Alpha Draco”. They all stood up to greet him, bowed and took their seats at the wave of his hand. Without wasting any time, the Beta walked forward to read out the reason why the meeting was suddenly called, since it was not the time of the month when meetings are held. Opening the scroll, he read “As you are all aware, the pack has been facing several serious attacks ever since the third tribe pulled out their troops from the border even when they knew that it was a dangerous act to carry out. The pack suffered the loss of about seventy wolves in tota
After the session of cold words from Helena, she left him standing in the corridor to play with her baby who had just finished having his meal. For a slight second, she wanted to feel bad about all that she had said to him outside but quickly kicked against it. “It didn’t do anything wrong. He rejected me at first, he didn’t even hear me out. I have no cause to worry about him now. I will only focus on my job”, she assured herself before holding onto her baby who was seeking her continuous attention. **** Even though Amy had been trying her best to adjust to the palace’s work, it had not been easy for her. She couldn’t sleep well most nights due to intense body ache, the extreme stress was telling on her body since she wasn’t used to it in the first place. She tossed and turned all night on her bed and when she couldn’t bear the restlessness, she sprang up to take a walk outside. She strolled a long way in the palace through the cold night till she got to the large yard behind the
Alpha Draco had trouble sleeping but didn’t want to touch the tea that was sent over yet without getting it checked, since he was wary of what he consumed, the palace was a scary place, so he had to be very careful. Seeing how he still couldn’t sleep deep into the night, he opted for the ceremonial wine he had gotten from the third tribe instead and took a few glasses, which finally made him sleepy. He didn’t remember that several meetings were fixed for the next day and slept soundly till the Beta came to drag him off the bed where he was busy snoring. “I don’t think the Alpha should still be in bed when his subjects are on their way” Beta Gray scolded. Rubbing his eyes intensely, he managed to get out of bed and prepared for the meeting in time. The elders and other officials, excluding the third tribe, came to meet with him after the coronation of his child. “My Alpha, we learnt that the Luna bore you a son while she was in exile. The question now is, why haven’t you crowned him
The words of the elders putting Jerry, the Prince up for a compatibility test got delivered to Helena, who only struggled to get out of bed that morning. Blurting out a “They want to do what?” with all her energy shook her for a bit but she managed to keep a balance before she collapsed by holding onto the counter in front of her. “And Draco signed the petition?” she asked further after taking a breather. Han nodded. She cursed “That son of a bitch” subtly under her breath before slowly finding her way to the couch in order to rest her back. “What should we do? Stop it?” Han questioned Shaking her head, “No, don’t. If they want proof, then we have to give it to them. Stopping it or protesting against it will only make it look suspicious” she answered with a low voice, signifying that she was tired already. “Should I bring your drugs over?” With a wave “I am living off it for now” “But you are in pain” Han argued, her concerns slowly appearing on her forehead. “I won’t die, do
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
