Happy new month, lovelies. Please keep supporting and stay with the story until the end. xoxo
Helena’s P.O.V. “Mother?” Three dumbstruck voices asked at once, trying to confirm Sylvia’s statement, as she was burning with rage. It was quite possible that she was making it up, but she stood on her ground firmly. “Yes, my mother. Do you have hearing problems?” Her snarky remark rendered us speechless; however, Alpha Gladwin went bonkers. He wasn’t ready to accept it at any cost. “Alpha Bryson is my academy fellow; we got our diploma together. I attended his mating ceremony and your introduction party as well. How is it even possible that Lyla and Bryson are your parents?” His dumbfounded expressions fairly entertained Sylvia. She clicked her tongue, taking two steps towards him. “For you, is everyone more trustworthy than my mom? Great! Then how do you think I am a Royal Vampire besides being an Alpha?” Sylvia’s question zipped Alpha Gladwin’s lips; he couldn’t even use any stupid reason to support his claim. She unbuttoned Zayden’s shirt and showed us a Ruby nec
Smith’s P.O.V. The compulsion from the entire pack was just over, and Alex left me to guard Madam Helena, in case she needed anything. I could feel that she was in trouble, scared would be a better word used for her current condition. She was dialing someone’s number repeatedly, but that person wasn’t receiving her calls. Soon, she gave up and started crying, leaving me aghast about whether I should ask her or not. “You should serve Helena well.” That was Alex’s serious demand from me, and as I couldn’t say no to him, I stepped forward to inquire about the situation. “What’s going on, Madam? May I help you?” Waiting for her reply, I remained silent, but she stood there frozen, not even nodding to acknowledge my question. Perhaps, I wasn’t loud enough at first, so I raised my voice, “Are you alright, Madam?” Just at that very moment, my eyes beheld a strange sight, wrecking my brain in a heartbeat. Madam Helena turned into some sort of fairy right in front of me, her flowy
Smith’s P.O.V. I understood Alex’s worry behind this question, but it was the need of the hour. Madam Helena had specially requested me to deliver her messages, it would be rude to ignore her requests after her favor on our Moon Howler’s Pack. I drove my car and took off for the free district, a mini truck full of warriors was following me in this mission. Extra weapons to deal with any unpleasantness were loaded by Alex as precautionary measures. Our small procession reached our destination in three hours, we split into three teams for a quick check. I went to the apartment as it was past kids’ school time and found them there with their nanny. Mrs. Davis opened the door for me and recognized me through Master Carver’s reference. “Brother Desmond’s son is no stranger to me, Kendrick. Skylar has mentioned you before.” My eager eyes were looking for Ashton and Scarlett, who popped out of ground and grabbed my legs, “You work with Uncle Carver, so tell us, where is our mommy? Why
Helena’s P.O.V. “I haven’t done anything!” Zayden was repeating this statement like a video stuck at a point, replaying it repeatedly. It made me regret healing him on an urgent basis. He didn’t let me attend Ciara, who was taken aback by the beauty of the Sussurro clan and begged, “You should listen to me first, Helly. It’s not my fault if Sylvia is pregnant.” His high-pitched wailing caught Edith and Amelia’s attention as well. Although I was avoiding spilling the beans before them, Zayden didn’t pay any heed to their dumbstruck expressions and spoke nonstop. “When I reached the Moon Howler’s Pack, everyone was compelled. Sylvia got furious when I denied her claim and controlled my mind as well. I didn’t have a say in that mating ceremony. I realized my position later when you grabbed my hand.” “You’re having a baby?” Edith shrieked at the top of his lungs and hid his face in his hands while running out of Zayden’s room. Amelia’s condition was no different from him, she
Helena’s P.O.V. “Mate? As in soulmate?” I froze, my muscles locked in a momentary paralysis, this surprise rendered me immobile. Zayden was gone, but his strong scent of sandalwood was sending my brain into overdrive. Nova’s sudden response to his curse breaking opened a trap door in my belly, turning my life into hell. My eyes darted around the hall, searching for confirmation, Ciara came forward and asked worriedly. “Your chest is bleeding, Helena. I’m going to fetch a first aid box.” She disappeared in thin air to bring medicines, Nova repeated that joke of the century to send shivers down my spine. “I don’t want to scare you, Helena. But you have to accept the reality that Zayden is our soulmate.” I clamped my hand over my mouth as this shock had taken hold of me, an involuntary gasp threatening to spill from my lips. Not long ago, according to Nova, Trevor was our mate and now this stupidity. Shifters had wise feral sides, and I was paired with a lunatic like her
Helena’s P.O.V. The possibility of being caught frozen the blood circulating in my body, my brain refused to work in this situation any longer. That spell was indeed a simple one, perhaps it wasn’t enough to conceal the bond from Zayden’s Alpha wolf. My body was about to explode with fear when Blitzer raised his head and gently bopped my nose, reminding me of his return after a run in the past. “Awwww!” Despite its reference, his cute, loving gesture didn’t fail to melt my heart, even Nova pushed forward to snuggle with him. “Blitzer is a giant ball of fur, Helena. Can we keep him?” The sudden surge to hug him and bury my face in this fur overpowered my mind, sending my reasoning to hell. I wrapped my arms around Blitzer’s neck and smiled, “Congratulations!” Blitzer purred in response, growling softly; however, the first sound of bone cracking snapped me out of my daze. Shoot! I was cuddling with my not-so-loving-ex and now mate, the mate-bond was in action just
Helena’s P.O.V. The softness of his voice snapped a string in my heart, that oddly familiar tone was like the cheering of your supporters after reaching the finish line of a marathon. For confirmation, I raised my head and a pair of glimmering silver eyes smiled at me, putting a stamp to my assumptions. “Miss me, love?” “Carver!” I hugged him back instantly, trying to merge my body in him for permanent relief. The sense of a strong protection enveloped me in his warm embrace, Carver caressed my back slowly as his voice was shakier even in a whisper. “I missed you, love. Why did you leave me alone?” I punched his shoulder playfully, inhaling his refreshing scent of rain in a dense forest. “I’m back, Carver. Thanks for being patient with me.” We stayed like this for a long time, drinking on each other’s scents, even his high body temperature felt like a home to me. The ‘Ding’ of the elevator brought us back to reality, and we went to Liam’s apartment, which was locked as e
Helena’s P.O.V.“Something bad has happened at home, Helena!”Nova’s grave tone did wake me up, but I brushed her worry off. I was finally at home with my little angels, what else could go wrong here?Embracing my entire world in my arms, I fell asleep quickly, blocking Nova was the only solution to shut her off. Sun was setting in the west when Scarlett’s bathroom break woke me up, the peace enveloping my heart refreshed my mood. I stretched my arms and tied my hair in a low bun, and Nova repeated her alarm like a parrot,“Everyone is worried at home.”This time, I took her seriously and went out to check on Liam and Skylar. Carver was also staying at our place to spend more time with us. The mouthwatering smell of baked cupcakes welcomed me in the living room, Skylar was in the kitchen to prepare icing for them.As a person, baking happily would be fine, so I looked for Liam and Carver, their enthusiastic voices coming out of Liam’s room eased my mind.“Pint, idiot. We are losing i
