Zayden’s P.O.V “Are you running away from the Palace tonight, sister?” Tonight? First, I was damn furious due to that little bastard’s uncalled pity and now this. My stupefied gaze fell at Helena, whose expressionless face was a new addition to my list. Over the two decades, I had witnessed Helly’s several mood swings. Angry, happy, sad, every emotion was always written on her gorgeous countenance in bold letters. So, what was that? Although my entry to this Royal Palace was quite eventful, my main focus was Helena, who was changing faster day by day. Like, what the heck? How could a person you grew up with change this much in just a few days? Anyway, that wasn’t a moment to play my ‘guess the true reason’ game, so I focused on Helena’s words which came out of her mouth after a momentary silence. “Leaving or not, it shouldn’t concern you, Edith. I remember last time you completely neglected my offer regarding the rescue plan. Am I right?” Fabulous! I wished t
Zayden’s P.O.V. Close your eyes and count to ten. Perfect! That was the easy thing to do after Helena’s stern order, One, two, three, four, five … But my stomach flipped as a strong storm literally tried to blow me away. I had to focus on my feet to stand properly and for a second, it felt like the ground disappeared from my feet. Bloody hell! If I wasn’t scared of offending Helly, I would have opened my eyes to check my surroundings while screaming at the top of my lungs. After that brief panic attack, I resumed counting. Shit! Where was I? Three or five? Whatever! Starting again from one, I took deep breaths to calm down my racing heart, that was when Helena spoke softly. “Now, you can open your eyes, but please stay silent. We’re still on a dangerous land.” Her gentle instructions parted my eyelids to an abyss of impenetrable darkness, it took me a moment to adjust with this change. Blitzer was on duty at once, sniffing around to search for danger. Helena clari
Helena’s P.O.V “I’m the last whisperer alive!” After disclosing my true identity before them, I fixed my eyes on Amelia’s face as her reaction was of significant importance for me. Edith was a member of the Royal family, well versed in the variety of supernatural creatures. He had a slight idea of my origin, as my mom’s story was famous in the Royal Castle. And Zayden, that Alpha was stung by the worst form of magic, so this escape plan must not be surprising for him. Only my buddy was an omega, unaware of the complexity of our world. Anyway, my drastic revelation didn’t get its desired results, Amelia’s dumbstruck expressions dawned on me. Shoot! She was totally unaware of even the word ‘whisperer’. “Great work, Helena!” I saluted my limited intellect and tried to explain; however, Zayden snatched this opportunity from me. “You got to be kidding me, Helly.” He turned into his half-shifted form, taking it as a chance to poke his nose in this critical situation. “Last whi
Zayden’s P.O.V “Please take a rest and enjoy yourselves. I’m busy with some official business.” Like, what the heck! I came here only to spend quality time with Helly, and she went to some sort of mystical seclusion, ignoring me completely by saying, “Enjoy myself?” What the hell was I supposed to do in that ancient pack? No internet, no electricity, no electrical gadgets, in simple words no connection to the outside world. This territory was already a secluded place, and now, its only attraction had left me alone to be bored. Until evening, I realized that I was the only one feeling like that because Amelia and Edith swiftly adjusted to this new routine. Amelia went to the kitchen and befriended three maids. Their happy chatters hinted towards their old friendships, as if they hadn’t met some hours ago. Hopeless by my pack mate’s carefree attitude, I followed Edith, who stretched his teeny tiny arms and hugged the shelves of an enormous library. “I love it, sister! This is
Helena’s P.O.V.“The silver dagger is missing, Helly!”I was already hell panicked because of the unforeseen circumstances, and now, Zayden was crying about his lost family heirloom.Where was his reasoning?Going through the procedure again, I masked my vexation with indifference and commented.“I’m in the middle of the ritual, then why are you mentioning that dagger?”Without asking my permission, he moved closer and pointed towards my hands. “Witch Ciara also had a book like this. She read from that and told us about the curse breaking once. According to her, we need a whisperer, a silver dagger, and me at a full moon night for better results. She had a list of some essential herbs and potions, but I don’t know much about it.”Firstly, it made me roll my eyes that Zayden compared the holy book of whisperers with a witch’s grimoire, usually filled with the hexes to fool and hurt others. While the holy verses of our sacred books were lifesaving, serving nature with utmost
Helena’s P.O.V. Once I read somewhere, “always expect the unexpected.” As I wasn’t a bookworm, this quote was like a Moon Goddess’s sign for me. Perhaps, I became paranoid during my two years of married life at the Moon Howler’s Pack that being overcautious was just a way for me to survive. This direction from Heaven specially assisted me to tackle the countless challenging situations there. It was supposed to stay like this after my kids’ birth and demanding jobs, then what went wrong? How could I forget to be ‘extra’ in a task? Zayden’s curse was forbidden, breaking several rules of nature simultaneously. It should be in mind to conduct wide research before putting his life on line. How could I merely trust his words for the dang ritual? I wasn’t a doctor to write a prescription after hearing the symptoms of curses related to any life and death issues, they required meticulous efforts to deal with them. What kind of whisperer was I to completely ignore this fact? My blanc
Helena’s P.O.V As my mom had grounded me, sending Zayden away was the only option for the curse. However, a problem arose right after his departure. Not an ordinary issue, but an extraordinary one! My brother Edith, whose half-shifted form was completely healed by the mystical aura of the Sussurro clan, threw a tantrum like a toddler. “Why did you kick Alpha out? Don’t you know he is sick?” He announced a strike, and refused to eat or sleep, crying his eyes out. “My mom will catch him and punish him again. Please let me save him.” It was so difficult to remind him that Zayden had gone out in his Alpha form, there was not a chance in hell that Queen Isabella would find out about his maid’s identity. Pacifying a Royal when his mind was fixed on something was close to impossible, but I tried, Amelia also helped me in this mission. As a last resort, I cooked for Edith and tried to talk to him, although Nova was grinning mischievously. “Your ex has got a loyal admirer. Why ar
Helena’s P.O.V “Come again please?” Although I had perfectly heard what witch Ciara just said, a set of irrelevant questions rolled out of my tongue impulsively. “What? Who? How did he get his second son?” My heart skipped a beat, a palpable pause that reverberated through my chest, processing this truth was simply out of my jurisdiction. Witch Ciara looked away; her voice was barely above a whisper. “Sylvia is pregnant with Alpha Zayden’s child. They are expecting a son.” “Oh, right, Sylvia. How come I forget about her? Silly me!” A quick bark of laughter burst from my throat as I rubbed my temple nervously, this sudden news had turned my world upside down. When I left the Moon Howler’s Pack, Sylvia’s relationship with Zayden wasn’t a secret from me, so I simply imagined a happy family for them after my little angels’ birth. This closure was sufficient for me to move on; however, Alpha’s return did jeopardize my peace for a while. He swore repeatedly that
