Helena’s P.O.V.“If the Moon Goddess gives me one chance, the only one chance to correct my mistakes of the past, I would never ask Carver for help.”Refusing to marry Zayden was still on the top of the list, but that son of the lycan took advantage of my vulnerability in the worst way possible.“What’s the use of hiring an event planner when you are here!”Carver’s audacious command flabbergasted me in the morning, he ordered me to arrange the party for the Lockwood’s Company.Was he nuts?Well, this was proved wrong in the next eight hours, as he practically stuck to my side like a child to his/her favorite candy and instructed me.“Off-white will do miracles with purple!”“This flower pattern is boring.”“Change the table covers, they are looking funny.” So, instead of completing a report for my ongoing project, I ran here and there to supervise the settings and deliveries of goods. It was Mr. Smith’s kindness which gave me a moment to catch my breath; otherwise, Carv
Helena’s P.O.V.That stunning girl in a purple gown stepped forward, holding a mic in her hand. “Hello, everyone.I’m Sylvia Ellsworth, the one lucky model to wear this exquisite jewelry. It’s my honor to be a part of Anderson Company.”Sylvia Ellsworth!Zayden’s Luna was the model selected to advertise my work. This was a possibility I had never imagined even in my wildest nightmares. My worst enemy, Sylvia, was wearing my designer jewelry!It looked like a plot of some twisted romance novel, where a pitiful heroine was outmatched by the villain, who had used her identity to win the hero’s heart. Well, in my case that wasn’t a surprise, but the worst joke of fate.Sylvia’s breathtaking beauty was the same as before, she didn’t show any surprised gesture after seeing me in the crowd. It could only mean that she was already informed that I was the designer. She deliberately seized this opportunity to see me again. My hand flew to my mouth as acid from my stomach burne
Helena’s P.O.V.Electricity failure in a high-end party? My fate got to be kidding me. I was the planner of this event and made sure to double-check everything. Then how could I miss a significant detail?That black-out gave Zayden a perfect chance to scare me, his creepy approach sucked all the air from my lungs. For a moment, my body failed to respond to his advances.I couldn’t even scream or squirm to register my protest. The time seemed to be still, as Zayden bit my earlobe and warned me. “Don’t even think about escaping, Helena. If I catch you running again, you’ll witness why people call me a lunatic.”I breathed in sharply and tried to scurry away from him when suddenly the lights illuminated the party hall again, the sharpness of the lights stung my eyes. “I apologize for the inconvenience.”Carver was back, explaining the reason for that one-minute power outage. However, my aghast gaze fell at Zayden, who was standing beside Sylvia, as if he wasn’t challenging m
Zayden’s P.O.V.“Something really bad is going to happen soon!”It was for the third time in one sitting that Blitzer warned me of an unseen trouble. I gritted my teeth and scolded him inwardly. “What else is remaining, Blitzer? Shut your ominous mouth, or I’ll sew your mouth permanently.”When Carver gave me an invitation to the party, he specifically mentioned that it was his date night as Helena asked him out. Firstly, I thought of refusing politely, as Carver must be lying. Helena would never select a cheap show off like him. Her taste in men was unique, she always preferred simple and decent boys over playboys.But when he sent me a voice message, it broke the castle of my hopes. “Don’t you think marking me will also decrease your rank in your pack?”“What?”Helena had considered his offer of marking as a gesture of sincerity?This revelation alone was enough to depress my wolf, Blitzer howled in agony.“I also want to mark my Luna!”The misery of my wolf shattered
Helena’s P.O.V. No matter how many abduction scenes you have watched in different movies, the fright of facing being kidnapped in real life is impossible to explain in words. Human reactions, feelings of being surrounded by predators can only be felt, there’s no perfect explanation for this trauma. I hope you would have never got in the situation which was now challenging my survival! When that driver asked for my mobile, I remembered my self-defense and omega training sessions in the Moon Howlers Pack. Alpha Gladwin was considered enough to conduct those special classes for weak omegas like us. “Everyone should know how to survive in unfavorable conditions!” His motto was life savior, and I could easily snatch that revolver from the abductor’s hand. However, my little angels’ horrified gasps poured a bucket of cold water over my soul, killing my warrior spirit in a second. A whimper escaped from my mouth as I wrapped my arms around my kids. “Please don’t hurt us!” A teenager
Zayden’s P.O.V.The kidnappers demanded that money in cryptocurrency, so it was a dead end. The local police couldn’t help us with cyber-crimes, so I requested my Alpha friends for their best crypto experts and left this issue for them.I could spend well over fifty million dollars for my family, but their safety was a huge question even after paying this ransom. I got a second call after thirty minutes.“The first transaction should be twenty million dollars in the next hour. I have texted you the details.”We started the quest and had only one hour to search that endless forest. Thanks to my bad luck, it started raining cats and dogs. My warriors, who were trying to track any trace of my family’s scent, became powerless like me, as the rain washed away all the clues which could lead towards them. Meanwhile, my leading warrior, Jay, informed me.“We need more manpower to cover the maximum area of this forest.This forest is full of rogues, avoiding useless fights is impossi
Trigger warning: sexual assault, physical violence, death..Helena’s P.O.V.Standing in a dark forest, my heart raced as I staggered back, staring up at the monster. Zayden’s black Alpha wolf was towering over me, his red eyes had a murderous glint in them. With my breath frozen in my lungs, I managed to turn and scurried away. In every step there was an earthquake, shaking the tree branches, and a few twigs in wet soil crackled below my feet. Running for life, there was only thought that went through my head,“I don’t want to die so soon!”Zayden’s throaty growls terrorized me to the core, every shred of my existence was screaming in horror. He was chasing me relentlessly.But all of a sudden, my mother’s angelic figure appeared before me, she grabbed my arm and shook it violently.“Helena, danger!”Obviously, that bloodthirsty Alpha was right behind me, he was the danger looming over my head. I tried to break free so that my feet could help me to reach a safe place, but in
Zayden’s P.O.V. (Flashback) Restricted in a massive silver cage, my body was chained with silver restraints. Three large injections of wolfs-bane didn’t knock me out, and I was still growling at those bloodsuckers. “I must admit that you’re a strong Alpha, Zayden.” The sly vampire king guffawed, mocking me at my helplessness. He ordered his minions, who tightened the grips of chains around me. “But you’re inexperienced, young lad, unaware of a war strategy.” He aimed another dart of wolfs-bane at me, Blitzer howled in agony. I struggled against the restraints while suppressing the urge to screech in pain. “We are noble werewolves, always advocating for truth and valor. This cheap trickery is beneath our status.” The Vampire King’s amused expressions fumed me, I thundered in fury. “Free me, and I’ll tell you how to win a war fair and square, you leech. Shame on you for using weak werewolves’ blood for your hidden agenda.” It was still unknown to me why he abducted me with the
