Helena’s P.O.V. The happy smiles dancing on my little angels’ faces paid off my efforts to arrange this play date, even Zayden looked genuinely moved by this notion. When I thought about a dinner date, it was a practical meeting to discuss our preferences and expectations from our relationship in the future. Then it crossed my mind. “We’re not alone in this relationship. What about our pups?” In the past, Zayden and I built a partnership for a successful marriage and performed our duties well. “But now, our kids are also in the picture.” We should act like parents to prepare a warm home for our family. This was the idea behind the trip to Disneyland, aka our little angels’ favorite recreational spot. Last night, Zayden’s information regarding the Court matters put my mind at ease, as the responsibilities of the Kingdom had consumed my time. One after one serious matter had fucked my brain, so this assurance was like the Moon Goddess’s grace for me. Zayden was right, the
Zayden’s P.O.V.“You seem happy, Zayden. Have you decided to forgive Helena?”My buddies grabbed bottles of beer and dragged me to my courtyard, their interrogation removed the happiness of the moment before. Alex punched my shoulder and bombarded me with questions.“Did you enjoy your date? What about marking Helena as your mate now? And Aria, when will you reject her?”I was already perplexed about the matter of forgiveness, like it was questionable whether I was angry with her or not?And now this!My trifle with Helena wasn’t a simple one, beyond the basic love or hatred thing. The revelation of mate-bond was indeed exciting, fulfilling my dream to be with my family.However, it wasn’t that easy for me!Helena was the same, and so were my feelings for her. But there was a new addition in our relationship, an invisible barrier was parting us like never before.The base of every partnership was trust, and in mate-bond, it was vital to bind two hearts in matrimony. Many of
Helena’s P.O.V.“You don’t want her!”“You attacked her!”“It wasn’t my fault!”“You left your property unattended!”My brain was wheezing due to these loud, heated arguments, trying their best to explode my head. After a while, my hearing ability refused to cope up with my condition. I could only hear shouting without any word, my body was trembling uncontrollably with its intensity. Soon, that blame game turned into a fight, where Zayden and Elmer were using their talents to kill each other.However, I was done with it!Gathering every speck of the remaining strength in my body, I leaned against the wall and got up. An involuntary scream escaped from my mouth as these little movements hurt like hell, my aching body wasn’t ready to move an inch.Despite the searing body pain, my brain had activated flee mode, ushering me to move or disappear in thin air. With my wobbly knees unable to bear my weight, I stood up after falling twice.Someone was kind enough to cover my bare
Zayden’s P.O.V.The road to Helena’s recovery was indeed long, but she was responding well to the treatments. It was so hard to imagine that hell she endured, her wounds made me feel powerless for a moment.If it wasn’t for Edith, I would have snapped Elmer’s neck, disregarding the fact that he was an immortal. This attack had questioned my integrity as Helena’s mate. How could I promise her a life full of happiness when I was unable to protect her in danger.However, I totally forgot my worthlessness in front of Helena’s psychotic breaks, she was broken by emotional pain. Doctors and witches discussed her condition and reached a conclusion.“Helena’s mind is stuck in that trauma. It appears that she wasn’t expecting such an incident at all.This shock and magical abuse have badly affected her proper functioning of the brain. That eight minute of CPR has also compromised the oxygen supply in her body.”The doctors took it as a medical miracle that Helena was physically fit after
Helena’s P.O.V.After escorting me to his courtyard, Zayden disappeared for an entire day. I missed him a lot, although this was for my own good. He was hell worried about me, but still, respected my privacy, giving me a chance to concentrate on the second ritual.Despite my brain working diligently to get rid of Elmer, I was looking around for my mate. It seemed that he was the most necessary person for me 24/7.“Ah! The legendary mate-bond!”The divine attraction of our bond had multiplied my affection for Zayden tenfold, although he was the apple of my eye. After going through countless trials and tribulations, we were finally together against Elmer, this temporary happiness before the real deal was more than enough for me.I took a deep breath and gathered my supplies, the ritual of disconnecting my aura with the Celestial clan was successfully completed. For reference, the drawing in the puzzle was the graphical indication of the night when I had performed the ritual to be
Helena’s P.O.V. The dark magic usually practiced by the witches was powerful enough to scar innocent people’s souls; however, it was a whole new dimension when a demigod used it for his evil intentions. If he was an ordinary wizard, my Sussurro clan’s aura would have defeated him in seconds. But Elmer was betting his immortal root on this face off. The crack in my aura’s doom was widening, creating a hole for Elmer to barge into my safe place. I panicked, racing my mind in every possible direction to search for a solution. That was when my prayers were answered, I heard a solemn whisper from the Moon Goddess. “Call your mate!” The moonstone necklace around my neck burnt as Zayden running towards Elmer caught my eye, I mind-linked him immediately. “Leave Elmer, Alpha. I need your help!” Zayden stopped for a while and howled, alerting other warriors to take care of Elmer. Suddenly, a magical portal opened, Ciara, Susan, and a company of witches stepped out for our rescue. “Th
Zayden’s P.O.V. “Sylvia has escaped? How? When?” A series of questions seized the proper functioning of my brain, the volcano of sheer rage rumbled in my chest, exploded with full force to burn me as a whole. Sylvia’s trial was postponed due to her disturbed mental condition. She had gone crazy after the birth of her son. Locking herself in a special dungeon until her recovery was the only method left, Helena had arranged the best medical care to improve her health. I had personally visited that highly guarded area to confirm the three-layered security system, then how the hell did that happen? Blitzer instantly got active and snarled at me. “It’s Aria. That vampires’ spy has shown her true colors today.” Shit! My tried and tested method of catching a spy in the act had gone terribly wrong. Despite the tight monitoring, that traitor had successfully rescued that dangerous hybrid. A sudden adrenaline rush quickened the flow of blood coursing through my body, activatin
Helena’s P.O.V. “Please write Helena and Zayden on the cake, Mr. Max.” The bakery owner was arguing for the past five minutes to write Alpha and Luna on the cake instead. I wasn’t a Luna yet; the love of my Pack mates really warmed my heart. “It’s your second wedding anniversary, Luna Helena. Alpha will arrange a Luna Ceremony soon.” Old Max blessed me with countless best wishes and eventually agreed to accept my request. It was an intimate moment for me and my perfect husband, Alpha Zayden, how could I add worldly positions to ruin this. I was planning to buy a nice present after ordering the cake, but Beta Alex informed me. “Luna Helena, Alpha is calling you to the office.” “Such an impatient man!” Zayden’s husky whispers from breakfast echoed in my mind, his lovely gestures made me forget to tell him about my failing health. “I will ask Liam for an appointment with the Head doctor.” My twin brother Liam was studying medicine in a college, his skill in medicinal techniques
