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
Helena’s P.O.V. A hand! A fucking grown up male’s hand! I fell on my back as the intense shock hit me like a tornado, seizing my brain’s function for a second. My stupefied gaze was fixated at that supernatural jiggalo, which wasn’t mentioned in any of the books I had read during my stay in Sussurro Clan’s territory. At this crucial moment, Nova took hold of the situation and swiftly interjected, her stern voice was laced with unquestionable authority. “Go to the clan’s entry and check the gates. Report to me about any abnormality ASAP.” Ciara disappeared in thin air after hearing this command; meanwhile, I was back in action. Accessing the magic behind this intrusion, I channeled my aura; however, a deep whisper warned me. “Don’t overdo it. Use water against fire!” This timely guidance halted me in my tracks, hinting that this simple attack was way deadlier than it appeared. As my aura was a mixture of four elements, that was a quick method to subdue the opposition. Then wh
Helena’s P.O.V. “A price?” Was Celestial clan a shop where you had to settle the bill after using their utilities? I was caught in a dark web of loan sharks by taking their help for once. Nope, second time, as they helped me to escape from the Royal palace, but who was counting? My mom’s worried face flashed across my eyes, she responded to my endless queries. “Celestial clan has immortal members just like your grandpa. So, when they offer help to any other clan, they take it as a business deal and ask for repayment. Now, open the box and read their demands carefully.” Read carefully? How did mom know that it would be a letter inside it? Anyway, I kicked all the queries out of my mind and unlocked the box; however, Zayden’s curious eyes fixed on it vexed me. I punched his shoulder to knock some sense into his thick skull. “Haven’t you ever heard of the word ‘Privacy’, Alpha? Now, go there and sit in front of me.” Alpha pouted and looked at me innocently, even Blitzer al
Helena’s P.O.V. “Mommy, I want this bag!” Although my little angels woke up in the middle of the night, I was obliged to fulfill my promises about shopping. Currently, they were on a quest to fill the cart with at least three brands of the same thing, chirping like happy birds. “These watercolors are so bright. Can I have this, mommy?” Scarlett’s puppy dog eyes always got the approval from me, and honestly speaking, I was soaring high in the sky as well. For the first time in my life, we were shopping without worrying about money, it was like tasting freedom after centuries of imprisonment. Anyone who loves to fill their bucket list with items and then sigh on the gross total before closing the tab can relate to me! I couldn’t thank Heaven enough for this complete revolution of frugal Helena’s life. On the other hand, Zayden, Amelia, and Ciara had their own separate carts, Edith was sitting in Amelia’s cart with Johnny as a babysitter. They all were wandering to see thi
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
