Zayden’s P.O.V. “Enough chit-chat, Amelia. Now, leave us alone.” As soon as these words rolled out of my mouth, the pleasant smile I was yearning to see on Helena’s face vanished in thin air. She grabbed her friend’s hand and shook her head. “No. I’m not done talking to her.” Really? She clearly knew that I had a patience worth a teaspoon, and still, messed with my temper. Before I could register, an offended growl resonated in the room. “Amelia, out!” That omega instantly bared her neck, my Alpha command put a full stop to Helena’s stupid efforts to defy me. I was her husband, we met each other after years, and she wanted to talk to a mere omega. It was insulting! Although Helena wasn’t willing to let go of her, Amelia freed her hand forcefully and chickened out, closing the door behind her. Seizing this opportunity, I voiced my discomfort. “Why are you ignoring me for a servant, Helly?” Helena’s eyes widened slowly, harmonizing with her parted lips. She stepped back as I a

Helena’s P.O.V.“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you can’t afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.”The officer was reading rights while cuffing Liam’s hands, a sudden surge of panic coursed through my body. “No, no. This isn’t supposed to be done!”I raised my head, my terrified eyes met with Zayden’s icy ones, the glacial cerulean with gray mist was what stared back at me. “You promised!”My voice was barely above whisper, audible to that Alpha standing beside me. But he chose to ignore it and concluded that pathetic show-off. “I’ll discuss further developments of this case with Arthur. Good day, officers.”Before I could react, Zayden grasped my arm and dragged me inside, but my eyes were fixed at my brother’s silent figure. He was visibly shaken by these series of events; his mute complaints plunged a blunt knife in my heart. The last thing I saw was him wal

Helena’s P.O.V. The delicious chili that I was enjoying a moment ago felt extremely bitter after Zayden’s shameless demand, his provoking gaze vanished my raging hunger. So, I placed my half-eaten bowl on the counter and drank some water, ignoring his desperate face. “Name your price!” Even my stern response blossomed countless flowers on Zayden’s countenance, he stated his conditions clearly. “Twenty-four hours, you’ll do whatever I say.” What? Was I his free slave? My eyes must have been shooting fire daggers on Zayden, but he was unfazed, keenly observing my facial expressions to mock me further. As the matter of Liam and my little angels’ safety was eating me alive, I replied without much consideration. “Deal!” Beta Alex and Amelia’s gasps resonated in the kitchen; they were equally shocked as Zayden. Perhaps, he wasn’t expecting me to agree with him so easily, his stutter said more than his words. “G-Good, W-Wonderful! So, it’s a deal then.” Zayden rubbed his hand on

Helena’s P.O.V.What the fuck!I clearly remembered that Zayden and I left Amelia and Beta Alex in the living room to deal with the remaining gift boxes, as Alpha got a phone call from his office.Then how did this happen?Zayden’s half shifted body jumped at some invisible opponent, I ran towards my friend who was hanging upside down from the ceiling. “Who did this?”Beta Alex in the same position beside her stuttered in fear.“G-go inside, H-Helena. We are under attack.”What type of attack?All I could see was Zayden pouncing on something unseen after some seconds.“Stop it, Zayden!Have you lost it? There’s no one here. Help me to untie Amelia’s ropes.”My deranged yelling found its way into Zayden’s dense brain, he paused for a moment before growling furiously.“Watch out!”Before I could punch him to misguide me with an imaginary enemy, a pair of burning arms wrapped around me from behind. An inhumane voice smiled beside my ears. “Hello, love!”A bullet of

Helena’s P.O.V. Although I had reprimanded Carver for his dumb sense of humor, he was able to catch a glimpse of my flushed face. As they weren’t normal types of jokes for me, it was challenging to brush them off without being affected. My silly reactions gave him a perfect chance to tease me in the office. “Gosh! I should have clicked your picture yesterday. You were blushing like a newlywed bride, love.” Carver continued eating my brain even during the meeting, he sent me a text message. “Are you sure that you gave birth to Ashton and Scarlet? You always react like a virgin, love.” His provocation until lunchtime consumed my patience. I was planning to crush his head while brewing an aromatic cup of coffee, when a shadow flashed beside me in the pantry. “It must be my imagination!” Firstly, I ignored it because of my exhaustion. My one day’s absence had piled up a mountain of files, the pending work was a nightmare for a feeble girl like me. Then a sudden gust of air shook the
