~ Helena ~

Ethan kissed my forehead. “If you know the reason, you’ll be more stressed. So let’s keep it this way, okay?”

I took a deep breath to calm myself because I was too emotional. “For how long? Don’t you want babies?”

“Of course, I want to have our children too.”

It relieved me for a while. “Okay, then tell me. How long should I wait?”

“Until my business in Crescent Island finished.”

I nodded. “Okay then.” I could wait for a while. I didn’t know why Ethan set the business in Crescent Island as the marking time, but I needed to trust and accept his decision.

“Okay?”

“Okay.”

Ethan kissed me. “Helena, I care for you more than you realized.” He kissed my forehead, cheeks, nose, and lips again.

I said nothing since I wanted to believe it badly. Besides mating, Ethan had done all a good spouse should do. But his unwillingness to share the crucial matter bothered me a lot. Since what is a relationship without trust? Without sharing and helping to ease the burden?

“Darling?”

    ~ Ethan ~ Then we spent an hour until Helena was asleep again. I smiled and kissed her lips. She sighed a little but still slept. I touched her hair and kissed her forehead. “I will end the curse soon, and when the time comes, you may beg for mercy since I won’t stop having you.” Then I took a blanket on the bed and covered Helena’s body. Next, I walked to the cupboard and wore a shirt and trousers. I called Ernie through the mind link. She came fast. After knocking on the door, Ernie approached me. She immediately saw Helena on the bed and smiled. “Yes, Alpha?” “Please prepare breakfast for three.” “For three?” Ernie frowned. “Is our Luna expecting?” I didn’t know whether or not I should laugh. But finally, I shook my head. “I wish she were expecting, but I can’t do that.” I whispered, “Not before the curse is broken.” Then I said, “I want to ask Red to join us for breakfast.” “Oh, I see. Right away, my Alpha King. I will work now.” Then I opened the mind link and called R

    ~ Helena ~ Ethan suddenly showed up without knocking on the door. Fortunately, I had already worn my dress. “We talked about your former mate,” I deliberately said. “Ernie even said when she was an eight-year-old, your former mate asked her to work hard as a maid helper.” Ethan blinked his eyes. “Didn’t you like it, Ernie?” “U-uh, what do you mean, Alpha?” Ernie grasped both hands together. “She told me that you liked it. That’s why I let you do it. I wouldn’t let you help her if I knew you disliked it.” Ernie immediately knelt. “I’m so sorry, Alpha. I know it’s such a great honor to be Luna’s maid. Though I was just a maid’s helper at that time. Yet, I disliked our former Luna.” She immediately closed her mouth with her hand again. “Uh, stupid mouth!” “What did she do to you?” he asked. “Alpha, please, it’s been a long time ago.” “It will help me if I know, Ernie. So, please tell me.” “Promise me you won’t be angry with me.” “Why should I be angry with you? I won’t be an

    ~ Red ~ I was standing when I saw my Alpha, but my body was tense to see Helena. “She spent the night with me,” he said. “But—” “We’ll talk after breakfast. But, for now, let’s eat first.” My Alpha pointed at the table. “Alpha—” “Didn’t you hear what I said?!” My body was trembling. It was the first time our Alpha used a cold tone like that to me. I immediately bent my head and mumbled, “My apologies, Alpha.” “Good! It’s time you know your place.” I glared at Helena. It was because of her! Our Alpha had never been so cold to me. NEVER! Both of them spent the night together, and he changed drastically. She should have told Alpha something. Ernie came with scrambled eggs, sausages, toasted bread, bacon, ham, and beans. The smell was delicious, and Helena’s stomach sounded immediately. Our Alpha laughed and rubbed her tummy. “Be patient. Soon, your stomach will be filled.” Helena blushed. “Yes, for sure.” “But it doesn’t surprise me after last night.” Our Alpha winked his ey

    “No!” Our Luna spread her arms. “I asked Red to go dating my friend. It’s my order. If something happens to me, it’s my choice.” She was trying to protect me! “Helena, why did you keep defending him?” Our Alpha asked. Luna walked to our Alpha and then pleaded with him. “Because I don’t want your relationship to ruin because of me. I’m an adult, Ethan. Though I’m your mate, I can take care of myself.” She kissed the Alpha’s lips. “Besides, you saved me last night. Nothing happened. You don’t need to punish Red. He did no wrong!” Our Alpha took a deep breath. Then he scooped Luna and kissed her passionately. “You are my little kryptonite. I can’t say ‘no’ when you ask me.” Then he said with a cold tone with me, “Say thanks to your Luna since she spares your life.” “Thank you so much, Luna.” I bent my head lower, too grateful for our Luna’s kindness. “So do you think she is worth it to be our Luna?” our Alpha asked again. “Yes, Alpha, no doubt about that.” “Good! I don’t want to

    Red approached me, then he knelt and kissed my feet. “Luna, I hope you can have a happily ever after with our Alpha. We need you as our Luna too.” It was the first time Red gave his blessings to Ethan and me. Also, now, he called me ‘Luna’, not with my name anymore. It seemed Red had finally accepted me. “Thank you, Red.” “No, thank you, Luna.” Then he raised his head and grinned. “You may be better going to meet our Alpha. He may think I give you more trouble since I take your time here.” I giggled and shook my head. “He should know better than that.” Then I smiled. “I’d see him now. See you later, Red.” “Yes, Luna. Have fun.” Red grinned widely. I just smiled and walked to Ethan’s room. The door opened, so I stepped inside. Ethan immediately walked to the door, later closed and then locked it. “What took you so long?” “Well, Red and I just chatted. I think he has accepted me as your mate and your Luna.” “Our Luna,” Ethan corrected me. He grinned and wrapped his arms around

    ~ Ethan ~ Then Red coughed and grinned again. “Okay, you have great pictures here. But don’t worry, Luna. Our Alpha is strong. He can take care of himself.” Helena took her phone and showed our pictures to me. “Don’t forget to send the photos to me.” “Yes.” Helena immediately sent the pictures. Then she hugged my waist. “I’ll miss you a lot.” “Don’t worry. I’ll come home soon. If all goes well, I will marry you in no time so we can stay at my place.” “Yes, though I’ll miss my mother, I want to stay with you.” Red coughed again. “Alpha, don’t worry. I’ll guard our Luna well.” “You may need to drink cough medicine since you cough a lot today.” I grinned, teasing Red. Then I said in a serious tone, “Don’t let me down again.” “No, Alpha. I promise,” Red said solemnly. Finally, I nodded to Helena. “Go inside. Everything will be okay, and we will be together again. Soon!” Helena walked toward the door, but then she turned back and smiled. “I will wait for you here. Come back soo

    ~ Helena ~ I went to work as usual. I couldn’t wait to show Ethan’s photo to Stacy. I blushed to see the intimate poses when Ethan kissed my lips and neck. It was like we had already married. I smiled, kissed the picture, and mumbled, “Safe travel, my love, and come back soon to me.” When I arrived at the library, Stacy grinned. “I think Ethan is truly a romantic guy.” “Huh?” “Look what I have here!” Stacy took a box and bouquet. Before she could put both on my desk, I immediately grabbed them. “Whoa, easy, girl! I didn’t touch anything.” I shook my head. “It’s just that Ethan has left town again. So I wonder when he had time to order the gifts for me. It’s more about my curiosity about the gifts.” I searched for the cards. When finding both, I opened each and then read the sender’s name. “What’s wrong?” “It’s not from Ethan.” “What?! Is it from Kenneth?” I shook my head again. “No, it’s from Constantine.” “Constantine? Who’s that?” Stacy asked. I took a deep breath a

    I stared at Stacy. “Like what?” “Well, kiss or touch you?” I looked away and bit my lower lip. “Yes, Constantine kissed me once, and I withdrew since I didn’t feel it was the right thing to do.” Stacy patted her chin with her finger. “If you must choose between Ethan and Constantine, which one will you pick?” “Ethan, for sure. Should you ask?” I giggled and rolled my eyes. “With him, I feel safe and comfortable. They are handsome and sexy, but Ethan is more protective.” I smiled and let out a sigh. “Besides, I love him.” “Ah, it’s hard to beat. But if Constantine keeps pursuing you, will you give him a chance?” I shook my head. “No, unless something happens between Ethan and me.” “But he is a generous gifter. May I see the box?” I handed over the box. Stacy opened the lid and whistled as she touched the fabric. “Silk! Whoa! He is wealthy and generous.” “I have already had Ethan.” I reminded Stacy. “I’ll return the gift to him.” “But how about if you try it just once? I want

    I woke up feeling weird since there was something unusual. I turned my body, but a firm hand wrapped around my stomach. It tickled my waist and then moved downward. I opened my eyes only to see Ethan grin. “Good morning, love. How are your feelings right now?” he asked. “Good morning, love. I feel weird.” “Weird?” He wrinkled his forehead. “Ache?” “A bit, but I don’t know. I feel something else.” He kissed my lips and whispered, “Maybe I can cure you by pouring my seeds again. What do you think?” I giggled and nodded. “Yes, sir. I love it when you poured your seeds. Give me more, please?” “Yes, madam, right away.” Ethan then, without warning, touched my womanhood. “You are already ready, darling.” He then pushed his manhood inside and touched until I moaned. “Don’t stop!” “Yes, ma’am.” He grinned, but then he concentrated on giving me pleasure by pounding hard into me. I tightened my legs around his waist and clenched my womanhood until it squeezed his shaft. He growle

    We hugged and shook hands with everyone. Then my mom approached me and said, “Now, I will leave. Ethan, Helena, please visit me frequently.” She smiled but then burst into tears. “I’ve missed you already, sweetheart.” I kissed my mom’s cheek. “Mom, I promise to visit you often until you may be bored with me.” She laughed and shook her head. “No chance I will be bored of you, sweetie. I’ll love to see you around. Take care.” Ethan hugged my mom. “Mom, thank you for coming. Let Red send you home.” “Yes, Son. Thank you.” Later, Red came and nodded at Ethan and me. “Congratulations! Enjoy your wedding night. I’ll try to have everyone leave the villa soon.” Ethan and Red exchanged a knowing look and grin, then Ethan nodded. “Thanks, Red. I know I can always count on you.” “Always!” Then he nodded at my mom. “Mrs. Ross, shall we go now?” Then I hugged Stacy. “Thank you for coming and being my bride’s maid.” “I’m so happy for you.” Then she shook hands with Ethan too, but Ethan

    Red drove the car to the villa. It was crowded, so it took time to get there. Then Red opened the door for my mother and me. When I stood to see the villa. It stunned me to see how beautiful the villa was. Colorful roses decorated the path to the door. The rose fragrance filled the air. Later, Stacy opened the door. She wore a white dress too. “Oh, Helena! Look at you! You are gorgeous!” she shouted. I smiled. “So are you! Did you buy it for my wedding?” She nodded. “Yes, because you know me. I can’t stand last-minute shopping. Now, I’m glad I bought it. How about you?” “It’s my mom’s doing.” I glanced at my mother. “She bought it for me as a wedding present. Who would guess it came at the perfect time? So I can wear it tonight.” “Oh, Freya, it’s a lovely dress indeed!” Stacy said. My mother smiled and hugged Stacy. “Thank you for coming tonight.” “I won’t miss Helena’s wedding. I’m her bride’s maid.” Then someone coughed. When we turned around, Ethan stood and then waited f

    My mother pulled my hand, and we went to her room. She opened the cupboard and took two beautiful white dresses. “Please try these, sweetie. I hope you wear the dress for your wedding tonight if you find anything you like.” I burst into tears since both dresses were gorgeous. “Oh, Mom! How can you have such beautiful dresses?” “When I told you about the three months of waiting, I bought them. Since I thought maybe I could give them as a wedding present for you.” “It’s perfect! I can’t think of a better dress than these two.” I wept and laughed. My mom was amazing! How could she do this for me? “Don’t cry! We have no time to prepare you to be a breathtaking bride. So smile!” I giggled and wiped my tears. “Yes, Mom.” Then I tried the first dress that had laces and sparkles. The dress fitted my body well. Later, I showed it to my mom. She nodded. “Try the second one.” When I wore the second dress, I knew it was perfect. The dress was simple with a few ruffles on the short arms

    Ethan stood and then held my hand. “Yes, I think the purpose of this meeting is fulfilled. Oh, okay, the explanation of Constantine and Victoria’s death. It was an accident. I had never intended to kill Constantine. No matter what, he was my half-brother.” I nodded and supported Ethan by telling what happened. “About the death of Victoria, she died because she tried to protect Constantine. It’s because of love.” I took a deep breath. “At that time, Constantine attacked Ethan when he had already said, ‘Time-out.’ Then I pushed Ethan and instinctively attacked Constantine with the fog. Victoria ran and shielded Constantine.” I bit my lower lip, recalling the moment Victoria died. “Then when Constantine tried to stab my back. Ethan protected me and stabbed Constantine in the process.” I looked around. “It’s a self-defense.” The Elders didn’t say anything afterward. “Soif you all are worried about revenge or attack from the Fire Shadow Pack or the vampires, please know we are not the o

    ~ Ethan ~ We walked outside the castle, and I teleported us back to my villa. I kissed Helena’s lips and said, “I am sorry.” “For what?” “I should protect you, but I wasn’t there for you.” She shook her head. “No, don’t blame yourself. I have many things I wanted to tell you.” “Oh?” But then, I remembered Freya. “You need to call your mother now. She must be worried.” “Yes, you are right.” But then, Helena glanced at me. “Oh, my phone is still at the castle.” I nodded. “I’ll ask Red to take it. Where is it?” “The last time the maid brought it to me.” “Okay.” Then I opened the mind link. ‘Red, are you still in the castle?’ ‘Yes, Alpha. Why?’ ‘Can you bring Helena’s phone back here—the villa?’ ‘Sure!’ ‘Thanks, Red.’ ‘Anytime, Alpha.’ Then I stroked Helena’s hair. “Red will bring your phone here. Use my phone to call your mother instead of waiting for Red. He may need a while. Freya was nearly hysterical when she called me.” She nodded. “Yes, please.” I picked up my ph

    Meanwhile, Ethan could push Constantine to the corner. Constantine was bleeding all over. His movement was slower and slower. Unfortunately, Ethan was wounded too, but he was in much better condition than Constantine. But then Constantine shape-shifted back into the human form. “Time-out!” He gestured his hand, showing the T-shape. Then he walked to the side, wearing his clothes back. Ethan also changed himself back to human, gathered his clothes, and dressed up again. I ran to Ethan and hugged him. “Ethan! You came for me!” I cried and smiled simultaneously. “Of course, my love. Freya was worried so much about you.” He glanced at Constantine, who sat on the floor. “Let’s go home.” I nodded. Victoria approached Constantine. But then, he ignored her when she wanted to wipe his wound, even turning his body away from her. Victoria’s face was disappointed and gloomy. I could feel how hurt Victoria was right now. “Can we bring Victoria with us? Can she stay at your villa or in our pa

    Constantine laughed out loud. “Consequence? As the descendant of the former Duke Firebury, I have the right to claim Helena.” Ethan frowned to hear that. “What do you mean?” “What a pity you don’t know the most important thing.” Constantine laughed again. “But then, the mighty duke may be too busy to know the tiny thing, though crucial.” “What are you talking about?” Meanwhile, Red entered the room. “Luna, let’s get out of here.” “Red, you are here too. My head hurts, and I can’t see clearly.” “Maybe Lord Constantine drugged you again.” I gasped. The water that the maid sent me was the only way how he drugged me. “The maid,” I said, shaking my head. Then I suddenly remembered my power. ‘Fog, heal me.’ In a second, the fog surrounded me, and then, in another second, my head was alright. My eyes finally could see clearly as before. “Do you want a duel until death?” Constantine asked. I shook my head. “He tricked me!” “What happened?” Victoria asked me as she patted my hand

    I gasped as Constantine carried me to my bed and laid me there. “You may be more comfortable here. So we will sleep here tonight, my darling.” “Let me go!” I screamed. “Let me go! Don’t touch me!” “Helena, shh! I won’t hurt you. I will be gentle with you.” Then he kissed my forehead. “See? Nothing you need to be afraid of.” “You have already had Victoria. Please, let me go!” I pleaded with him. He shook his head and stroked my hair. “I only have you now. I have sent Victoria away.” “What?! Why?” “Because she is a hindrance for me. If I let her stay here, we can’t spend the time calmly.” He kissed my cheek. “Helena, now you are the only one for me. I promise I will marry you tomorrow. So stop fighting me! It won’t hurt if you let me have you.” I shook my head. “I’m not yours. I’m Ethan’s.” “Really? Then where is he right now?” He chuckled as he touched my hair. “Why are you here instead of on his bed?” Then Constantine touched my neck lightly. “I will treasure you, cherish you
