Helena's POVMy mom dropped us early in front of our school so we won't be late for our field trip. Jessie and I only carry one bag pack so we won't have any trouble carrying our things. When we arrived at the school, many students were already outside the school and our bus was already parked in front of the school too and just waiting for the students who were to get on the bus so we can go already."Helena! Your early today," Chel greeted me with a smile. I frowned at her when I saw her walking toward me."Yes, I'm early even though you didn't even tell me that we have a field trip today. If Sir Duncan hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have known about it," I sneered at Chel."Sorry, Helena. I forgot that you're not around when Ma'am Jealous announced that we are having a field trip," she apologized to me with a smile. She is apologizing to me but keeps on smiling. What a weird friend."Ma'am Jealous? Who is she?" I confusingly asked her."Who else but Ma'am Cynthia? Didn't she almost d
Helena's POVInstead of having a field trip, we do the hiking. The things we will use such as tents, cooking utensils, water, food, and other things have come first. All the students on the bus that are happy when they found out that we were going to hike and not just a simple field trip. Students prefer hiking rather than a simple field trip.We went to a plateau in Laguna. But before we got to the top of the plateau we need to climb first a relatively high mountain. We have a guide who taught us safety measures for climbing the mountain. Even though we experienced went tiring and nerve-wracking climbing before we reached the top of the plateau our hard work paid off because the scenery at the top is breathtakingly beautiful. Our tiredness disappeared when we felt the very fresh air at the top of the plateau.We did picture taking and the beautiful but scary cliff is the background. After taking pictures, we helped each other in setting up our tents as well as our lunch. And in the
Duncan's POVI woke up when I feels that Alena woke up too. I frowned when I saw her slowly get up from the bed and get dressed. But what surprised me is that I felt the presence of another person. And that presence was very familiar to me. I suddenly feel that my chest seems heavy. I won't be mistaken about this person's presence because I knew her since we were young. Something came to my mind but I didn't want to accept it. I couldn't accept that a woman was able to fool me. And if my suspicions are true, I will not hesitate to kill her. I will let her know that fooling an alpha is a mistake that she shouldn't do.When the woman was about to turn to look at me, I quickly closed my eyes and pretended that I was still asleep. And when she left my room, I quickly got up from the bed and put on my clothes, then I hurried out of the room to follow her.I secretly followed Alena for almost half an hour before I saw her get inside a small hut inside the tall grasses. It is difficult to se
Helena's POVI slowly opened my eyes. I thought I was dead already but I'm not because the room I was in now was familiar to me. I was inside my room Duncan's house. The last thing I remember before I passed out was that someone suddenly kicked the door and came inside the hut to save me. In that case, Duncan was the person who saved me.I couldn't help but frown. Even though he saved me from certain death, that doesn't mean I already forgive him. I was sure that Duncan already knew Auria's other identity as Alena so he came to save me. But although I owe my life to him, I still won't forgive him easily. He gave me so much pain and I also almost die because of him. I rather stay far from him than stay beside him and put my life in danger.I looked at the door of my room when it opened and Duncan entered. I immediately turn to the other side of my bed because I don't want to see him. The pain he gave me was still fresh. The liters of tears that flow in my eyes because of him can't be b
Helena's POVI have mixed feelings as I walk away from Duncan's house. He finally let me go. But I felt joy and sadness at this moment. I am happy because I am finally free and will be able to find where my family is. But I also feel sad because I am sure that I will miss Duncan. No matter what he did to me I still love him. I love him but I want to find myself so I want to leave. And another thing is that I still haven't forgiven him for hurting me even though he was also a victim of Auria's manipulation. If that woman hadn't troubled me and Duncan, I would have asked for his help to find my family instead of leaving his house. Because I know that being alone in the forest and traveling with no company is very dangerous. But I have to be brave so I could find myself.I looked back at Duncan's house and I saw that he still looking at me with a sad face. I feels that I want to go back and hug him but I stopped myself. What he did to me was a strong reason for me to go and leave him.
Helena's POVI decided to stay with Aida's family first because I have nowhere else to go. I'm thankful that Aida's mother was kind and agreed to let me stay at their house for a while.I felt happy after my few days of staying at their house. I felt like I suddenly have a sister. Their neighbors were also kind so there was no problem if I stay longer in that place. But our quiet life was suddenly disturbed by a group of men who went to Aida's small village and forced the people to give their harvested crops to them."Who are they, Aida? Why are they asking about all the villager's crops when they don't live here in your village?" I asked curiously as we peeked into the small hole in her house. Because Aida's mother did not allow us to go out so all we could peek at and watch the villagers getting robbed by those men. "They are forest bandits, Helena. They are werewolves' bandits. They are very evil. They often come to our village to steal our harvested crops," Aida answered in a lo
Helena's PovAfter walking for almost a day, we finally reached the village where the forest bandits lived. The bandit's group leader immediately presented us to their alpha bandit."Helena, I'm afraid," Aida whispered softly in my ear as we stood inside a room and waited for the alpha bandits to enter the room."Me too Aida. I'm scared too but we need to show their alpha that we are not scared of him," I answered weakly to her. I could feel her body beside me trembling with fear. I hold her hand and pressed it. I just want her to not be scared and everything will be all right because that's what also I keep on telling to myself. When the leader that we were waiting enter the room, the group leader immediately made us kneel before their alpha's feet."Master, we have beautiful girls as a gift for your birthday," said the leader of the bandits who attacked Aida's village with a proud smile."Well done, Baldo. It's a good thing you brought these two girls. I'll gift them to the two al
Helena's PovDuncan didn't finish the fun and left with me. I didn't let Aida be left behind so I begged Duncan that if possible, he would also save her because she was my savior when I left his house. Duncan agreed to let us take Aida but he did not let her come with us because he let his men escort Aida back to her village.I felt a mixture of joy and sadness when Aida left. I'm happy because we're both safe but I'm a little bit sad because Aida and I are apart. I already considered her my sister. And one more thing, she was the only girl whom I can talk to because I have no woman to talk to in Duncan's house. I only see men so who can I talk to so-called "girl talk" only? But I felt more happiness than sadness. As long as I know that Aida is happy and is back safely with her mother, I am happy too. Hagur will no longer dare to attack Aida's village because the leader of the bandits promised Duncan that they will not attack and disturb Aida's village again.And as I promised myself
