Zayden’s P.O.V. After spending a decade on the battlefield, I was habitual of making last-minute decisions according to ever-changing situations. My assessments were never wrong, everyone praised me for it. However, I forgot to include Elmer in my planning, how could I miss a bamboo stick like him? Like how could I do this blunder? He followed Helene to the Palace as his interceding ended Aria’s punishment. I swiftly sent Aria to the medical wing and ran to see Helena. As expected, Elmer was pouring a gallon of petrol over the fire. “Look, Helena! I can understand your emotions for Alpha, but you’re fighting for nothing. You have seen that Zayden only cares for his werewolf mate. Their bond is a clear sign that you should reject him to be with Aria. You and I’ll marry and go to the Celestial clan, sharing our bond for eternity. And Zayden will happily return to the Moon Howler’s Pack with his werewolf mate.” He didn’t consider this gas-lighting enough and spewed out more n
Zayden’s P.O.V.“What kind of discussion needs you to be naked, Helena?”Although Elmer’s question was directed towards Helena, it offended me to the core as well. I didn’t like the authority of his tone to assert fake dominance over her. She swiftly covered herself and winced in pain. This sudden movement oozed out the blood from her wounds, the white bandage turned red in a jiffy. I helped her to lay down comfortably and punched Elmer, who was trying to come near her bed, and spoke icily.“A meeting in which you aren’t invited, Celestial Elmer!”He instantly noticed Helena lacerations and ignored my reply, talking to her directly.“Why aren’t you healed yet, Helena? Our divine mate-bond is powerful enough to heal you in an eye blink.” Helena raised her brow and stayed silent. I was glad that Elmer was also given a chance to solve a mystery.No!It was a mean satisfaction that he would be unable to get Helena’s true meanings. She would kick him out ASAP. Elmer’s protrudi
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
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
Helena's P.O.V.“This is an arranged marriage. Don’t expect me to behave like a traditional husband!”.“You are indeed a good administrator, Luna Helena. I admire your intelligence.”.“I don’t know when, but your love has taken over my heart. I would like to spend my whole life with you, Helly.”.These scenes of our two years of marriage were flashing before my eyes, laughing at me in the darkness of the death cell. Being married to an Alpha was challenging, not to mention my mighty husband, Alpha Zayden Ellsworth, whose name was the epitome of power and control.Keeping up with his regal taste as a wolf-less partner was difficult, it took me a long time to win Zayden’s favor. Gradually, my dedication found its way to his heart, he fell in love with me. We were even planning to have a baby!On the night of my second wedding anniversary, I was lying on the silver floor of the prison, shuffling my memory to find a single day when I didn’t work hard to prove myself. “A daughter of a s
Zayden’s P.O.V.Firstly, Helena’s problem and now, an unexpected rogue’s attack fucked my brain, I had to regulate warriors by myself to defeat them. How on earth did they grow strong despite all the restrictions?Anyhow, I returned to my office to deal with an unending heap of files alone, my Beta Alex was still busy with the border affairs. The heavenly aroma of coffee greeted me there, soothing my tensed muscles. I picked up that cup from the table and took a sip and coughed uncontrollably.“What the Hell! Is it coffee or candy?”The duty guard, Allen, came into my office immediately.“What’s your command, Alpha?”I banged that cup on the table.“Who made this coffee?”He bowed his head in respect.“I did, Alpha.”His simple response skyrocketed my anger, I yelled at him. “Why did you touch my coffee mug? Go and ask Helly…”As soon as Helly’s name slipped out of my tongue, a realization hit me hard.Helena was in prison on murder charges!I pushed my fury aside, and walked towards
Helena's P.O.V.“What did you do to my brother?”My words came out as a shriek, the murderous glint in Sylvia’s eyes sank my heart. Liam was too innocent to defend himself against that vicious woman.“Not yet! But unfortunately, many things can happen to that human mutt, Helena. You know that he even tried to argue with Zayn for you.”She giggled, savoring the memory in her mind.“One punch! All it took was one punch to silence that childish opposition. He was lucky enough that Zayn aimed for his mouth; otherwise, you can imagine what could happen if it landed on his chest!”The hidden threat in her words knocked out the sense from my head, struggling to process what I just heard. My Liam was beaten by Zayden himself, there was no chance in Hell he could survive like this.“No, it’s not true. Zayden is not like that!”Sylvia listened to me with great interest, while fanning her face with a confession paper.“Oh, really!”She giggled, as if I was telling her a joke.“Zayden readily bel
Helena’s P.O.V.The noise of two men talking nonstop pierced through my ears, forcing me to flick my eyes open. White walls, beeping monitors made me realize that I was alone in a hospital room, but who were those men outside?As I was regaining consciousness slowly, my hazy mind was finding it difficult to process that loud conversation. But as soon as the haziness dissipated, a lightning bolt struck me.“Liam! Where is my brother?”The scenes of false accusation, Sylvia’s threat and that near-to-death experience came crashing to my mind, a wave of desolation washed over me. My eyes welled up as Zayden’s cold face flashed before my eyes, my misty vision didn't help me to see the person who just entered the room.“Oh, you are awake. I’ll report to Alpha right now.”That hurried man rushed out to see Alpha Jerald, I rubbed my teary eyes and got up slowly. “Ahh!”A whimper escaped my mouth as my left shoulder was in immense pain, the heavy bandage had immobilized it. That wolf’s claw wa
