~ Helena ~

“Admit it.” Ethan’s smile showed on his lips. “Do you realize you’re like an open book? Your eyes tell everything inside your head.”

“B-but ….”

“You like my body and want to touch it. No need to be shy.” A statement, not a question.

“Are you a mind reader?” I worried he could read my mind. But, oh, what did I think before? Did he know I admired his handsome face and fantastic body? I blushed again. It would be embarrassing if he knew that.

He stared at me, then tried to avoid answering my question. “It’s so obvious. You want me.”

Again, a statement, not a question. It was another bold one, like the previous statement. I was speechless. What could I say? What Ethan said was the truth after all. Yet I was too shy to admit it. “Ethan?”

“Repeat it.”

“Ethan?” I repeated his name. “Why?”

Ethan smiled. “Nothing. I love hearing you say my name. It sounds so good to hear it from your mouth.”

“Oh! You’re teasing me!” I pouted. “You’re mean. You know I’m in a weak state, but you take advantage of my situation and tease me.”

“Helena Starr.”

I stopped when he mentioned my full name. “Yes?”

“Your name is appropriate since your blue eyes shine brightly like stars.”

It was unexpected, so I bent my head and blushed again. “Oh, thank you.” If he kept saying sweet things like that, how could I survive? My heart, oh, my heart, I was in danger!

“Your hair is beautiful too, long and soft.” Then he whispered, “I can imagine your hair is unraveled on my pillow, then curled on my fingers. It will be like golden silk.” He bent forward to kiss my hair. “Sweet fragrance. Rose?”

“Yes ….” I was sure my cheeks, ears, and neck were now red. My heartbeat was racing. Ethan’s boldness in saying seductive words provoked me more than I could think possible. I could imagine what he said, and suddenly, my curiosity increased. What did it feel like to lay beside him?

Then Ethan held my body with an arm. He raised his hand to my lips, touched my lips slowly, and stared at the lips. “Such delicate and beautiful lips, like a tender pink rose.” His voice was hoarse. Then he touched my lips with his thumb. “Waiting to be touched and kissed.” 

As if he couldn’t hold himself, his face was closer and captured my lips with his. Finally, he kissed me tenderly, and I closed my eyes. 

“Such sweet lips. I can taste them until the day I die,” he murmured.

“Don’t talk about death.”

“Why not?”

“Since we just met. We have a lot of days in front of us.”

Then Ethan’s stare was suddenly cold as if a bucket of icy water were thrown at his head. “No, we don’t. After you recover, we won’t meet again.”

I gasped upon hearing those words. I thought Ethan had accepted me, considering how he praised my hair and lips, touched my lips, and then kissed me. My lips were trembling, and I bit my lower lip so I wouldn’t cry. “B-but why?”

“Don’t ask about it.” Ethan sighed. He looked away and kept walking away from me. 

I couldn’t help myself not to cry. I shed tears because of the hurt I felt in my heart. I had put my hope high, only to be dropped again. When I sniffed, Ethan glanced at me.

“Hey, don’t cry. I’m sorry, okay?”

“Why are you so mean to me?” I sobbed. “You praised me, then kissed me. You gave me hope, and then you smashed it again. I thought you had realized there was something between us.”

“Stop it!” Ethan said abruptly. “You don’t know what you said.”

I shook my head. “What?! I only tell you what I feel inside.”

“Don’t! You don’t know that you’ll get hurt because of that!”

I gaped and stared at Ethan. “What did you say?”

“Forget it!” 

“No, I can’t forget it. You said that I’d get hurt. Why?”

Ethan growled. “Don’t force me to do a harsh thing to you.”

“Like what? You have done it anyway.”

“What do you mean?” he frowned while staring at me. 

“You made me have a high hope, then crushed it instantly. What else can you do to hurt me?”

Ethan groaned. “You don’t know what you’re dealing with. I’m trying to protect you!”

“From what?!”

“I can’t tell you!”

I let out a sigh and shook my head again. It didn’t make sense. “You’re only trying to toy with me. Just like my ex.” I looked down and wanted to weep again.

“Your ex? The scumbag who only looked when you drowned?”

I nodded. 

“It’s good you broke up with him. You’ll be better without him.” Ethan stared at me with a tender look. Later, he smiled and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. Ethan looked so handsome when smiling like that. Well, he was handsome, smiling or not. “You’ll find a better man.”

“Kenneth was my first love, my first boyfriend. I thought he loved me.” I snuggled my head on Ethan’s shoulder and neck then sighed again. “I have found him, a man I want, yet he doesn’t want me,” I whispered, wishing he would understand he was the one I meant.

Ethan said nothing, yet his breath was faster. After a while, we finally arrived at his villa. He carried me inside. 

“Oh, it’s yours?”

“Yes.”

“It’s beautiful.” 

Ethan nodded. “Thank you.” He brought me to a room and laid me on the bed. “I’ll pick a bandage and balm for your feet and waist first.”

I lay down on the bed alone while thinking about the situation. Then I wept again. It hurt that Kenneth broke up with me after cheating on me. Then meeting Ethan, I felt something strong with him, but he also rejected me. It was like pouring acid on my open wound. 

Ethan entered the room and saw me cry. “Hey, do your feet and waist hurt badly? Don’t worry. I’ll tend to them.”

I sobbed. “It hurts, but here—” I placed my hand on my chest “—it hurts more.”

    I woke up feeling weird since there was something unusual. I turned my body, but a firm hand wrapped around my stomach. It tickled my waist and then moved downward. I opened my eyes only to see Ethan grin. “Good morning, love. How are your feelings right now?” he asked. “Good morning, love. I feel weird.” “Weird?” He wrinkled his forehead. “Ache?” “A bit, but I don’t know. I feel something else.” He kissed my lips and whispered, “Maybe I can cure you by pouring my seeds again. What do you think?” I giggled and nodded. “Yes, sir. I love it when you poured your seeds. Give me more, please?” “Yes, madam, right away.” Ethan then, without warning, touched my womanhood. “You are already ready, darling.” He then pushed his manhood inside and touched until I moaned. “Don’t stop!” “Yes, ma’am.” He grinned, but then he concentrated on giving me pleasure by pounding hard into me. I tightened my legs around his waist and clenched my womanhood until it squeezed his shaft. He growle

    We hugged and shook hands with everyone. Then my mom approached me and said, “Now, I will leave. Ethan, Helena, please visit me frequently.” She smiled but then burst into tears. “I’ve missed you already, sweetheart.” I kissed my mom’s cheek. “Mom, I promise to visit you often until you may be bored with me.” She laughed and shook her head. “No chance I will be bored of you, sweetie. I’ll love to see you around. Take care.” Ethan hugged my mom. “Mom, thank you for coming. Let Red send you home.” “Yes, Son. Thank you.” Later, Red came and nodded at Ethan and me. “Congratulations! Enjoy your wedding night. I’ll try to have everyone leave the villa soon.” Ethan and Red exchanged a knowing look and grin, then Ethan nodded. “Thanks, Red. I know I can always count on you.” “Always!” Then he nodded at my mom. “Mrs. Ross, shall we go now?” Then I hugged Stacy. “Thank you for coming and being my bride’s maid.” “I’m so happy for you.” Then she shook hands with Ethan too, but Ethan

    Red drove the car to the villa. It was crowded, so it took time to get there. Then Red opened the door for my mother and me. When I stood to see the villa. It stunned me to see how beautiful the villa was. Colorful roses decorated the path to the door. The rose fragrance filled the air. Later, Stacy opened the door. She wore a white dress too. “Oh, Helena! Look at you! You are gorgeous!” she shouted. I smiled. “So are you! Did you buy it for my wedding?” She nodded. “Yes, because you know me. I can’t stand last-minute shopping. Now, I’m glad I bought it. How about you?” “It’s my mom’s doing.” I glanced at my mother. “She bought it for me as a wedding present. Who would guess it came at the perfect time? So I can wear it tonight.” “Oh, Freya, it’s a lovely dress indeed!” Stacy said. My mother smiled and hugged Stacy. “Thank you for coming tonight.” “I won’t miss Helena’s wedding. I’m her bride’s maid.” Then someone coughed. When we turned around, Ethan stood and then waited f

    My mother pulled my hand, and we went to her room. She opened the cupboard and took two beautiful white dresses. “Please try these, sweetie. I hope you wear the dress for your wedding tonight if you find anything you like.” I burst into tears since both dresses were gorgeous. “Oh, Mom! How can you have such beautiful dresses?” “When I told you about the three months of waiting, I bought them. Since I thought maybe I could give them as a wedding present for you.” “It’s perfect! I can’t think of a better dress than these two.” I wept and laughed. My mom was amazing! How could she do this for me? “Don’t cry! We have no time to prepare you to be a breathtaking bride. So smile!” I giggled and wiped my tears. “Yes, Mom.” Then I tried the first dress that had laces and sparkles. The dress fitted my body well. Later, I showed it to my mom. She nodded. “Try the second one.” When I wore the second dress, I knew it was perfect. The dress was simple with a few ruffles on the short arms

    Ethan stood and then held my hand. “Yes, I think the purpose of this meeting is fulfilled. Oh, okay, the explanation of Constantine and Victoria’s death. It was an accident. I had never intended to kill Constantine. No matter what, he was my half-brother.” I nodded and supported Ethan by telling what happened. “About the death of Victoria, she died because she tried to protect Constantine. It’s because of love.” I took a deep breath. “At that time, Constantine attacked Ethan when he had already said, ‘Time-out.’ Then I pushed Ethan and instinctively attacked Constantine with the fog. Victoria ran and shielded Constantine.” I bit my lower lip, recalling the moment Victoria died. “Then when Constantine tried to stab my back. Ethan protected me and stabbed Constantine in the process.” I looked around. “It’s a self-defense.” The Elders didn’t say anything afterward. “Soif you all are worried about revenge or attack from the Fire Shadow Pack or the vampires, please know we are not the o

    ~ Ethan ~ We walked outside the castle, and I teleported us back to my villa. I kissed Helena’s lips and said, “I am sorry.” “For what?” “I should protect you, but I wasn’t there for you.” She shook her head. “No, don’t blame yourself. I have many things I wanted to tell you.” “Oh?” But then, I remembered Freya. “You need to call your mother now. She must be worried.” “Yes, you are right.” But then, Helena glanced at me. “Oh, my phone is still at the castle.” I nodded. “I’ll ask Red to take it. Where is it?” “The last time the maid brought it to me.” “Okay.” Then I opened the mind link. ‘Red, are you still in the castle?’ ‘Yes, Alpha. Why?’ ‘Can you bring Helena’s phone back here—the villa?’ ‘Sure!’ ‘Thanks, Red.’ ‘Anytime, Alpha.’ Then I stroked Helena’s hair. “Red will bring your phone here. Use my phone to call your mother instead of waiting for Red. He may need a while. Freya was nearly hysterical when she called me.” She nodded. “Yes, please.” I picked up my ph
