SIXTY SIX
HELIOS’ POV
I stare at the Sorceress, struggling to hold back my laughter. “You want the heart of my fated mate?”
She nods, all serious and wiping away the stains on her dress. The strange thing is, as she wipes away the blood with the palm of her hand, the blood disappears into thin air, returning her dress into its pristine white condition once more.
Perhaps it is a good thing I did not laugh out loud. One wrong move and Ares and I might end up like the bird.
“Sorceress, I do not have a mate.”
She raises an eyebrow at me and cocks her head. “You do. You just do not realize it yet.”
She is speaking in riddles. Does she mean to say that I will meet my mate soon? My thought goes to Laurel. I do not know what will happen in the future but right now, at this point in time, she is my everything.
Even so, I cannot simply hand over an innocent life to the Sorceress. No

HELIOS’ POVThe land of Crimsonhill is filled with filth. The midnight stars labour through thick smoke and tortured screams can be heard from the holding pens even from a mile away.I kneel by the bushes not far from the entrance of Crimsonhill’s gate and raise a closed fist. My warriors, the chosen eight crouch silently behind me, all waiting for my order to attack. I have chosen eight of my best fighters; their stealth, speed and strength combine should be able to take out an entire army of Crimsonhill.Marty was never one to train his warriors, and neither is he one who looks out for the wellbeing of his pack. As I look out from underneath a hood that covers my face, I see bodies; dead bodies piled one on top of the other right outside his pack gate, all rotting and filling the night air with the stench of death. Some were torture victims, others were pack members who tried to rise up against Marty’s inhumane

LAUREL’s POVHave you ever had a dream, a dream so dark and fearsome you wish that you had never fallen asleep? But no matter how much you struggle, you just cannot seem to wake up?Right now, it feels to me as if I am in that dream. For right before me lies my greatest fear.Laurel in a pool of blood.There is a blade in her abdomen and she is lying facedown in a pool of red, not moving.Goddess, please, no.I had left my heaven to raise hell on the woman who took my father’s life. But never once did I think that there would be a price to pay for my choice. A price that I simply cannot afford.Laurel’s life.There are others in the room; Marty, he is dead, and Jamie is sitting next to Laurel, sobbing uncontrollably. Her head snaps up the moment she sees me and tears rain down her green face, “Alpha Helios! Laurel…she…she…”She chokes on he

LAUREL’s POV There is pain. At first, it is everywhere, heavy and unbearable and I struggle to return to consciousness. But when I finally managed to open my eyes, I am greeted by a magnificent dark blue skyline outside the window. It was breaking dawn. This is Helios’ chamber. Odd, how did I end up here? I frown, trying to jog my memory but for some reason, everything feels muddled. I do not remember closing my eyes, neither do I know how I ended up in this room. My last conscious thought is of… Is of… I do not remember. Why can I not remember? The chamber door opens and light pours into the room from the hallway out side. I blink at the sudden onslaught of brightness. “Laurel?” The silhouette standing at the doorway calls out and my breath hitches. Slowly, but surely, my eyes adjust to the brightness. My mouth opens to a soundless gasp for I am staring at someone impossible.

LAUREL’s POVTwo days have passed since my awakening. I sit on a stone bench, soaking in the morning sunlight and look at two butterflies that are fluttering around a bush. One is yellow, the other is white. They are beautiful, and they seemingly simply flap their wings as they dance around the plants without a care in this world.A mother and child walks by and they wave at me. The child is happy, she skips along the pavement as her mother holds her with one hand and carries a bag of groceries in the other. It is a beautiful sight, truly, it is but my heart aches just looking at them.I turn away and wipe away a lone tear, telling myself there is no use crying over spilt milk. What is done is done. I should look at the future instead.I get up from the bench and start my walk back towards the town hall. Against Helios’ order, I insisted on reporting for work. It is much better than staying at home and wallowing

LAUREL’s POV Time is lost to me and in a blink of an eye, the sky goes dark. I look up, past the branches overhead and see the sky filled with a million stars. So many are the stars that they seemingly light up the sky like a concert of sorts. The air becomes so silent that I think I can hear an ant walking…but where did the voice come from? I frown, bringing my eyes back to my level and scan the now darkened surroundings but there is nothing but bushes and trees. “Laurel…” I whirl around, that voice again. “Who’s there?” I call out. Strangely, I am not afraid. The voice does not sound threatening, and neither does it feel that way. In fact, it is hauntingly familiar. It calls out to me like an old friend, as if we have known each other for years. “Don’t you remember me?” the voice asks. “Show yourself.” I can feel the voice coming nearer. I take a few steps forward but see nothing. “I am already here,” the voice calls out again. My head snaps to my left and right as perspirat

LAUREL’s POV “Rhode.” Seriously? I have to do a double take and my jaw almost drops to the ground. Goddess, this is Rhode we are talking about. This guy has the hots for men, not women. My heart feels like it is about to wither…surely it cannot be. But I force myself to stare into his eyes for the eyes are the windows to our soul. I will know for sure if he is my one true mate. But please don’t let him be the one. Time seems to slow down and my eyes rake over his face and all at once, I notice things about Rhode that I have never seen before. I hear him swallow a gulp and see his Adam's apple bob up and down. There are premature grey streaks of hair sticking out from his sideburns, and a mole rests underneath his lips. He smiles and I see a dimple on the left side of his lips too. Wait, there is a piece of meat stuck between his two front teeth. Oh dear. A bead of sweat rolls down his forehead and drips onto his nose. He goes to rub it, making a sc

HELIOS’ POV HOURS BEFORE THE MATE BOND TAKES PLACE AND SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE THE PRISONERS’ CELLS “I swear! I’m telling the truth! I swear on the Goddess’ name!” Jamie cries as she hangs from two metal chains. Her feet dangle precariously away from a pool of molten lava. I had tried to be nice to her, I had given her the chance to confess her crime. But she chose to deceive me. “You don’t think I would truly believe a word that you said did you?” I ask and tip my head at one of my warriors, He lowers the chain and an agonizing scream tears through the torture chamber. Jamie is lowered to but an inch away from the bubbling lava that threatens to turn her now beautiful legs into black-cindered stumps. She cries, shaking her head desperately, “I….I swear. I saved Laurel. I was the one who killed Marty! Is this how you treat a saviour? You should be thanking me! Laurel is alive because of me!” I sigh. I have had enough of her theatrics. With a hand, I motion for my warrior to bring

LAUREL’s POVI awake with a bolt and a pounding heart from a nightmare. But as it is the case with many bad dreams, I cannot remember much of them. Except for the screaming.And a figure cloaked in black pointing a finger at me.“Laurel?” Helios is instantly by my side, holding me protectively in his arms and that is when I realize that the screaming came from me. I had been screaming in my sleep.“Are you alright?” he cups my face and wipes away the beads of sweat that have gathered on my forehead. I blink, feeling my chest heave up and down, drawing in deep burning breaths that do little to warm the cold that has seeped into me. I frown. The cloaked figure in my dream had said something…but for the life of me, I simply cannot recall what she said.Wait. She. How do I know it was a she?“Laurel?” Helios calls out again and I look into his worried eyes. “Yo
