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.“Mr. Anderson?”Wow!What a way to address that MF!My father, who was respected across the werewolf community for serving as the head of werewolf council for years, bowed before a puny lycan? And the one who kidnapped his daughter-in-law?Bloody hell!Alpha Gladwin’s atrocious behavior set me on fire, so I protested openly.“Why are you favoring my enemy, dad? He is the one who dared to hurt Helena!”My dad stretched his arm for a handshake and furrowed his brows.“Mr. Anderson and illegal work? You must be mistaken, my son.”Carver also reciprocated his respect and smiled; it pinched my heart with thousands of fire needles. Then he reminisced about the past; his voice was laced with memories.“If my memory is serving me right, we have met for the dispute of packs’ ownership after war. It’s a pleasure to meet you again, Alpha Gladwin. I didn’t know that Zayden is your son.”My dad’s face boomed with glee; he introduced me proudly.“You are right, Mr. Anderson. Our wer

Helena’s P.O.V.“This is pink clouding, Helena. You are not understanding my point here.”The psychiatrist, Dr. Julia, was convincing me from the previous hour, disregarding my rapid recovery completely.“You’ll need time to fully shake off this feeling of uncertainty. Take my advice and apply for leave from your workplace.”I rolled my eyes at her; she wasn’t aware of my past life. That was the reason for her blissful ignorance.“I am a married woman, mother of two kids. Physical relationships are not new for me, save your talk for young, innocent girls.”Dr. Julia smiled at my confidence, she grabbed my hand and assured me.“What about taking it as a holiday with your kids? I can see they are disturbed after this incident. I am writing a prescription and some tips, feel free to contact me any time.”Although I was taking her advice as a joke, the next few days proved me terribly wrong. After getting discharged from the hospital, I locked myself in my apartment, unable to face the bu

Author’s P.O.V:In a dim-lit room, Sylvia was pacing back and forth, her enchanting countenance darkened with worry. She gazed up at the wall clock and shrugged, cursing inwardly.“Five minutes over our agreed time. Where are you, shadow?”She finger-combed her blonde hair and fidgeted with her blazer. A gentle knock on the door rejuvenated her mood, her blue eyes were fixed on the door in anticipation.Suddenly, she burst out impatiently,“I have been waiting for you for centuries. Why didn’t you receive my calls?”But the woman entering the room sucked the air from her lungs, Sylvia was taken aback by her regal aura. She immediately bowed her head. “I apologize for my bad manners. I thought you were…”“My shadow?”That gorgeous woman’s syrupy-sweet voice resonated in that empty room. She was dressed in a red, topless gown, hugging her slender figure perfectly. Her breath-taking beauty overpowered Sylvia’s strong aura. A moment of silence descended in the room as Sylvia g

Helena’s P.O.V.I was forced out of slumber by the murderous growling, two equally strong forces were competing for a shouting contest to prove their supremacy.My head was about to burst because of this noise, so I groaned and placed a pillow over my face. “Why am I dreaming such an absurd dream?”But the growling prevailed and soon, it was accompanied by two pleading voices, acting as referees. “Please control yourself, Alpha.”“Your lycan is worsening the condition. Come back to your senses, master.”As these two statements sounded oddly familiar, I opened my eyes at once. The sleepiness vanished to see two mighty shifters thrashing each other, breaking different decoration pieces blindly.“Stop it!”My head pounded as I rose from my spot, trying to remember how I reached this master bedroom.“Yes. Brandy!”I drank two glasses, only 180 ml (about 6.09 oz) of Brandy and lost consciousness, there was something fishy.My authoritative tone finally did the magic. All four
