Chapter 18


    Helios POV


    I watched over and over just how amazing Nora truly are, she has taken on a lot of challenges and she


    has ovee them all and to think she hasn’t even been in our kingdom for a day and my father has


    loved her, threatened to kill her, scared her and now put her to sleep.


    No wonder she is sleeping softly, I am sitting on the edge of her bed and watching her sleep soundly as


    she is softly snoring and I give out a warning growl as I hear the door open and then close but the


    problem still remains. My brother.


    “What do you want, brother?” I whisper.


    “I wanted to see how she was doing and I felt your worry and anxiety throughout the west wing so I


    came here” he whispered back.


    I turn my head to see him with a frown on his face as he watches Nora and I gently gets up from the


    bed to let him closer to her. I think this is what father must have felt when he knew about the bond


    between mother and uncle Dave.


    “Come on, we can talk over here” I say and point outside. Ares nods and follows me out.


    I choose this room for Nora since I believe that she will love it. It has one master bedroom, a huge


    walk-in closet, a very big bathroom and instead of a balcony it has a small garden instead.


    I choose on purpose the west wing because of this room, it’s on the


    ground level and the little garden would be considered small for us lycans that live in the castle but


    perhaps not for her.


    As I walk outside and my brother follows me, I tilt my head as some of the garden is unkept and I think


    Nora will want to fix it up herself. But it still have it’s own charm as I walk over to the lounge that I told


    the staff to fix up so she could at least sit there and have some tea or just enjoy the sunset.


    “Is she really this type of person? She likes to sit still and drink tea with her friends then?” Ares snorts.


    “No but I remember her mother telling me she loved this little outdoor ce that was ruined by a storm


    a couple of years ago. So I thought this could be her new ce where she can do whatever she


    wants.” I exin and smile at the thought.


    “Always the good and perfect brother” Ares mutters but I still hear him and res at him because of it.


    “Well I guess that’s only natural since you are ying around with a witch and I am the only one left to


    deal with father then and do the boring things, you know” I say and huff


    “Yeah, you’re right. Oh shit. I totally forgot about Mia. What should I do now then? I can’t reject Nora, I


    don’t want to but I also promised Mia to take her as my chosen mate, dammit.” Ares swore and


    growled.


    “Yeah, good luck with that one brother. I think it’s time to speak with father and uncle Dave about


    mother” I say and get up and Ares follows


    1.


    “Wait we can’t leave Nora” Ares try to protest when I sigh and Ares jumps just to see Daniel move


    away from the wall.


    “What the hell, Daniel. If you are there, say something” Ares looks


    surprised or perhaps scared but he masked it fast.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “I will stay by Nora’s side and I will mindlink both of you when she wakes up or if something or


    someone gets in here, even the king, himself” Daniel swore and bowed.


    “Good,e now brother, we still have to talk with dad” I say and drag Ares away, ying deaf as he


    continues cursing along the way.


    I raised my hand and knocked on our fathers bedroom door and opened the door when he answered. I


    dragged Ares inside when he tried to get


    away.


    “Ares and Helios,e in here both of you, your uncle is here too.” Our father said as he and uncle


    Dave sat in the sofas around the fire ce, drinking whiskey.


    I push Ares inside before I lock the door behind me. I watch as Ares takes a seat beside our fa ther and


    I take a seat beside uncle Dave and for a few minutes there is silent except for the noises thates


    from the fire as it crackles.


    “Father, we need to know more about mother because we want to do the right thing with Nora. Neither


    one of us want to reject her but we don’t want your destiny so please tell us what went wrong.” Ares


    asks before me and now our father sighs and gulp down thest of his whiskey before he refills the


    ss.


    “Okay give me a second, my lycan has finally calmed down and my senses have finally returned to


    normal” our father looks pleadingly at


    1.


    “Then I will begin and your father can tell his version when I am finished unless he is to drunk for that ”


    uncle Daveughs and I frown and look at my father that res at his brother.


    “So I met your mother first actually, she was beautiful and I hated her actually, she looked at me like I


    was some sort of savior. Like I would save a street rat from being killed but I saved her none the less


    and then I walked away. I tried to ignore the bond for a few weeks until I couldn’t handle it anymore.


    I ran back to where I had first set my eyes on her, in one of the outer viges of the kingdom, it was a


    poor vige and some of the mateless lycans came there to kidnap the female and force their marks on


    them.


    I saved Adina from one of their attacks and when I went back, she wasn’t there but I let the bond lead


    me through the forest and I finally found her. She had climbed a tree and she sat there crying her eyes


    out. I thought it was my fault so I didn’t say anything but just sat down on a rock close by the tree.


    When she finally calmed down and jumped down she shrieked by the surprise when she saw me. I


    asked why she was so sad and she told me that her parents had sold her to another male lycan. I


    became so furious. that I kissed her and well it went on as she kissed me back and so..


    Well let’s say that your mother wasn’t a virgin when she met your father”
