Helena’s P.O.V. A problem in the banquet hall? What was Zayden still doing there? I had specifically requested Beta Ralph to escort my guests safely to their rooms, then which part of my order was so hard to understand? Stupid lycan! Cursing the entire Lycan race, I rushed towards the hall, my meek human legs refused to run at supersonic speed. My Celestial aura was already drained to zero, and Nova fell into a deep slumber after this breaking news, leaving me alone with this flaring anxiety. I didn’t bother to wear heels, and tied my hair in a bun, all set to confront the possible problem aka Elmer. “Hopefully, Nova will wake up on time to assist me!” Entering the hall, my gaze fell at Beta Ralph who had bared his claws on a girl’s neck, growling nonstop. Alpha Gladwin and Zayden were covering that girl’s face, I couldn’t see her and ordered from some distance. “Who is she, Beta Ralph? What’s the matter?” After a quick survey of the hall, I was relieved t

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

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.“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

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
