Escape From Helheim Novels & Stories

"Public. Familiar territory. Somewhere he has an exit route memorized." "Petrov's," Zariel said again, her pulse picking up speed. "It has to be Petrov's. There's a back exit through the kitchen that leads straight into an alley. He showed me once. He said it was his emergency hatch in case a client ever got violent over a botched fake date." Kaelen reached for the phone again.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm not sure, but I did as he asked, and that's when I encountered you guys and figured Balor had set up a trap to have you guys capture me. And then you planned to go to the black market, so I took the chance to try and escape with Helga. It didn't go as planned, and I instead ended up in the realm of Nightmares with Damon. We trekked through the realm without magic and had to kill some disgusting monsters before finally making it to the rift I created years ago. We got through the rift and fell into the witch's realm and then made our way back here to you guys." Drabek let out a low whistle. "Well, you got yourself into a doozy, lass. Now, what are we to do?" I pu

scared to even hear the answer. “If you think eyes were not watching you at all times, you are stupider than I thought.” “What are we doing out here?” I looked around at where here was. “I am so glad you asked, this will be your new home.” He responded with arms wide open like he was showing me something grand. “Oh, and you won’t be escaping. Once I leave, this place will be rigged to blow if any of the windows or doors are tampered with. So, I wouldn’t try and escape. But just in case….” He smiled evilly and went to a closet. Inside he pulled out a fifty-foot log chain.

The departure from Station Omega was not a fanfare; it was an amputation. Leaving the rusted sanctuary of the rig felt like cutting off a limb. For two weeks, the Dead Sector had been their cocoon, a toxic shield against the eyes of the Empire. Now, they were stepping back into the light, and the light was full of guns. Helena stood on the rusted landing platform, wrapped in a oversized coat Vane had scavenged. She looked small against the backdrop of the skeletal tower and the green lightning storms.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm not sure, but I did as he asked, and that's when I encountered you guys and figured Balor had set up a trap to have you guys capture me.

Right after I had my uterine scraping procedure, Ian called. "Construction on Tina's new home officially starts today. I'm going over to keep an eye on things, so don't wait for me for dinner. "You're on your period today. Don't wander around outside for too long. Go home and get some rest." I touched my flat stomach and couldn't speak for a long time. All this time, Ian and Tina had been the design firm's poster children. One was a specialist in hard finishes, while the other was a prodigy in soft furnishings. Even our marital home had been designed by the two of them working together. But every time we discussed the plans, Ian would pull out another set of blueprints he had painstaki

The already endless white ice field now resembled a vast labyrinth. If I was correct, we had come here to find the venomous dragon Nidhogg. One of the three roots of the World Tree lay here, and since the beginning of the ages, Nidhogg had gnawed at its roots. After the world was reborn, it was captured by Hel, the ruler of Helheim, and kept as her pet. Helheim stood to the west of this frozen wasteland. It was said that among the Nine Worlds, some of the souls of the dead would travel to Valhalla in Asgard, while the rest came here.

This kingdom had barely survived after my father’s betrayal. This time, I was afraid it wouldn’t survive. Her mother had only been accused and banished. Helena was tortured close to death. Her power staying dormant was safe for us, but then Yan went and accused her of being a criminal, she tortured her in secret and left her to die. I laughed like a crazy person as I laid there staring at the patterns on the ceiling. She had unknowingly triggered the Calamity Star’s final awakening.

She smiled back, waving her hand as I left the hall. I walked over to the supply closet, gathered the cleaning tools and fresh linens I needed, and headed straight up to the master's wing. I pushed open the first heavy door, entering the space that belonged to Valerius. A familiar chill ran down my spine. As usual, the room was dimly lit. Since they were supposed to be thousands of miles away in Russia, I had planned to escape through the back door tonight. Once the rooms were flawlessly presentable, I slipped out of their suffocating rooms and made my way down to the gardens to meet Leo. The crisp evening air felt like a lifeline.

As he steps out of the car, the passenger side opens, and his beta, Moses, a tall brown-haired man with a few strands of gray that weren’t there before, does likewise. He offers me a smile small, and I instantly return it, because out of everyone, he’s the only one I’m happy to see. Behind him, my father’s enforcer, Ivan, a man who spent most of my life acting as if I didn’t exist, emerges like a black specter from the backseat. Moses and Ivan accompanying my father isn’t anything new. But a person I hadn’t expected to see is Helena, a shifter who only joined our pack maybe five years ago.
