Helena’s P.O.V.The moment I stepped out of the Sussurro clan’s territory, the dagger in my jeans pocket started burning, forcing me to take it out. The silver light emitting from the dagger created a map in front of me, guiding me to King Trevor’s current location.“Oh, that leech has left the Vampire Kingdom to avoid the shame of death in his own territory. Smart move!”According to the map, he was moving towards the Blazing Paw Pack, his niece’s home was indeed a good place to take refuge. But no worries, he couldn’t escape from the efficient tracking system of nature. A criminal could consider himself cunning enough to fool the law enforcement agencies; however, a savior would always be greater than a murderer. Nature had its unique justice system where every criminal had to face a fair trial, accepting his punishment at the end. So, all the people suffering because of rich and cruel monsters had a hope from any deity they were worshiping that even if the night of brutali
Zayden’s P.O.V. “Success isn’t measured by money or power or social rank, it can be measured by one’s discipline and inner peace. A life without stress is a blessing, nothing can match the harmony of nature.” For the past three days, I was literally experiencing life in Heaven, the one promised for a devotee of the Moon Goddess after death. I stayed awake, slept barely for an hour and was still fresh, like I was used to feeling after a good night’s sleep. My taste buds revolutionized as the taste of the same meat became extra juicy and flavorful. I also noticed that the clouds followed me everywhere I went outside the mansion, saving me from the harshness of sun. Amelia, Edith, and my kids, they all were going shopping, picnicking, and fishing, enjoying themselves. No one paid attention to me in their leisure time, only witch Ciara was on guard. She caught me early in the morning today. “I saw you in the library after midnight, and now you’re exercising before sunrise. Whe
Zayden’s P.O.V.“Mating Ceremony of Helena with that leech?”In which universe was this even possible?A prickling sensation shot up my spine as I read it twice, thrice and multiple times to believe in my sight, but my mind refused to admit this reality. The sensation of a trapdoor opening in my belly raced my heart, the date mentioned on the red card was more like an atomic bomb’s explosion.The happy laughter, cheerful atmosphere, and carefree citizens roaming in the decorated streets at night confirmed my worst fears, hitting my head with a sledgehammer.There were only two hours left, and then it would be 14th may, the day of Helena’s Wedding.No!An involuntary growl escaped my mouth, garnering passersby’s attention. Witch Ciara grabbed my arm and dragged me to a secluded place.“What’s wrong with you, Alpha? Those guards have bought your lie, but don’t even expect that others will not notice your presence here.Please stop causing trouble when we are already stuck in an
Zayden’s P.O.V.The meaningful smile toying on Ciara’s lips flipped my stomach as I fully understood her meaning, the red thread in her hand made me gasp. I was worried hell for Helena, and she was trying to change my gender.“It is in your best interest, Alpha Zayden. Your scent will be undetectable due to this spell.”With multiple reasons like that, she convinced me to be Helly, the maid of the Royal Palace once again. Ciara completed the spell in record time and gave me a uniform. I was getting dressed when a baffled voice swore,“What is this sorcery, Alpha? And how can you turn into Helena’s personal maid? I mean, how did you see her before?”Elder Desmond leaned against the wall and dragged the chair to sit on it. He wasn’t ready to believe a simple transformation which happened right before his eyes.While firing countless queries in quick success, he became winded, and pointed his finger at us.“You both are cooking something way before I know. Tell me everything in de
Zayden’s P.O.V. “There’s only one kind of shock worse than the totally unexpected: the expected for which one has refused to be prepared.” My plan, attack on Trevor, long contemplation over the current circumstances in the Royal Palace, everything gathered and jumped out of the nearest window right in front of me, giggling and laughing. It was a possibility in the back of my mind that Helena couldn’t be compelled or threatened because of her family members. After all, if the prestigious leader of the Sussurro clan could break a blood vow, she would be perfectly able to break her enemy’s bones as well. Right now, the scene in front of my eyes was a physical representation of such a dilemma, where King Trevor was screaming at the top of his lungs, clutching his chest where a silver dagger was buried completely. “H-how dare y-you!” Amidst those screeches, he stuttered to shoot back at Helena, whose smiling face was the epitome of success. She crossed her arms over her chest, mocki
Helena’s P.O.V. “No one is going to hell today.” This was the last sentence I heard before passing out as a hard object struck my head with full force, knocking me out. And when I woke up again, King Trevor was by my side, ordering his witches. “It was already so difficult for me to search for Helena and her whisperer's name. So, don’t make assumptions and make sure that her brain is under our control.” A dozen of dark witches cast a spell, deadly enough to kill hundreds of strong feral sides, putting Nova into a deep slumber. Phew! But it couldn’t hurt me! If it wasn’t for my grandpa’s ancestry, I would have married King Trevor as his beloved, giving him the lycan throne on a plate. Only the Moon Goddess knew how I spent the past three days acting as Trevor’s lover, even after hearing the truth of that fake mate-bond. He considered me compelled and admired his sister in front of me for this brilliant idea. “Thank you so much for telling me about the ancient scrolls, Isabe
Carver’s P.O.V. (Flashback) “How long are we supposed to live like this, dad?” My mom was in labor, and that small clinic in human town was attacked by the lycans’ army, searching for my dad tirelessly. When King Edgar’s favorite consort ran away, my dad was held accountable as the pack’s Beta. In fact, he was the main culprit behind this plan. To avoid suspicion, he submitted a fake investigative report. But the King didn’t accept it, resulting in our banishment from the pack. Yes, banishment! Our home was burnt down to ashes right before us, rendering us rogues overnight. That cruel King didn’t take pity on my pregnant mom, disregarding the fact that our family was welcoming a second son after decades. Tonight, my brother was about to be born in this world. But that ruthless King’s warriors tried to arrest my dad for some imaginary crime, killing my brother instead. Now, digging the grave of my brother, my anger was touching the sky. Tears of helplessness pooled into my
Carver’s P.O.V. Disregarding the murmuring crowd in the throne room, I only focused on Helena, whose icy gaze was seeping cold in my body. “You can’t just listen to others and believe them without listening to the story, love. I can explain my actions.” A colorless tear rolled down her cheek as Helena’s eyes turned back to normal, giving me hope in crises. We loved each other so much that trust and this long distance wasn’t a problem, I was certain that she would understand my difficulties. However, Alpha Zayden took it as a perfect opportunity to poke his nose in other matters and lunged at me. “After fucking Sylvia and choosing her as your child’s mother, what do you want to explain, Carver? Helena is a woman, not a plaything that you’ll do whatever you want outside, and she’ll wait for you in your house.” He balled his fingers to punch me, but I caught his fist on time, pushing him away. Before he could attack me again, Helena’s Royal tone froze him to his sp
