Chapter 42


    Chapter 42


    Helios POV


    I talked with my father about my theory about Artemis but I didn’t mention the story that Maria told Nora


    and I. I think that is still a secret and something I am not supposed to tell anyone yet.


    We were going to the library to check the old records of the first lycans that lived in the moon goddess’


    lands. But as we got closer to the door we heard noises, Ares is in there and another but I can’t really


    hear who it is.


    My father opens the door and we walk inside to see who it is but the shock are too strong as I see


    myself straddling Ares and kissing him. Ugh I need to wash my mouth after this.


    I see my doppelganger change into the missing piece of our blo ody puzzle, Mia. She doesn’t look like


    the perfect witch that she once was and she stinks like she has been bathing in a ditch somewhere.


    Ugh.


    “I need your help” Mia whispers


    “I will help you, to die” my father roars and ps Mia away from Ares.


    It went down so fast that I didn’t have time to react to what was going on but my father had Mia around


    her throat against the wall and Ares tried to save her and I just stood by and watched.


    “Ares, are you really choosing Mia’s side once again, what


    <


    about Nora, our mate?” I ask Ares and he twitches and nces at me over his shoulder.


    “That’s why we can’t let father kill Mia, I choose Nora and it’s Nora’s choice about what Mia’s


    punishment should be.” Ares answers and I think I agree with that so I sigh and walk over there to help


    Ares.


    “Dad, release her please” I said to him and he let her go in a second.


    “You called me dad, you haven’t called me that for many, many years now” he says and I can see that


    he is on the verge of crying.


    “I know but that was because of your lycan, he wouldn’t hear us if we called you dad when he was in


    charge.” I exin and dad nods his head in shame.


    “Guards, take the witch down to the dungeons” dad says and I smile as the guardse into the


    library and take Mia away.


    “So what were you doing in here except kissing Mia in my body.. ish..?” I asked my brother and he


    looked like he was going to throw up again. Well it looked funny when he actually threw up on Mia and


    she smelled even more but he doesn’t need to actually puke again, does he?


    Dad pushes a garbage can forward and Ares takes it and .. he pukes again. Ugh.


    “What are you two doing in here then?” Ares asks as he takes a few second break between throwing


    up.


    “Research on Artemis’ powers” I shrug and look away from him.

    “Cool let me know if you find anything, I need to take a shower in bleach and brush my teeth like a 100


    times over” Ares says and takes his garbage can with him and walks out of the library.


    Me and my dad stare after him until dad breaks out in aughing fit and makes me stare at him before I


    shake my head and wander further into the library.


    I search the shelves after the scrolls when I feel someone behind me and I turn around to find.. no


    one..


    I don’t get it, I could have sworn that I felt a presence but no one was there. Strange.


    *Ben, where are you and your father?* I midlink Ben and ask because elder William can be really


    sneaky sometimes.


    *Well I am in Nora’s room but my dad has been in the library since early in the morning, why? Ben


    answers and sends me a me ntal image of Nora in her bed, still breathing.


    *Thanks, I am in the library and felt someone here but I can’t see anyone* I answer and show Ben


    where I am.


    *Oh my dad is ying a joke on you then, he is sitting in that scary room and researching about the


    first lycans* Ben exins to me and I nod.


    Oh that would exin things, if elder William is bored and wants to sp ook me or something, he has


    always been yful even when I was a kid.


    Ben said he was with Nora right now, that is good, Nora’s warriors that Ares’ assigned to her are taking


    turns by being by her side. She is never alone, I made sure of that, the maids

    are checking in on her also. Anna tries hard to wake her up bying into her room with different


    desserts.


    One time I came in as she and Ben were drinking coffee and eating cookies, the entire room smelled of


    it. Anna smiled as I came in and poured me a mug with coffee too and we sat


    down to eat some cookies.


    Anna told us about that day when she and Nora had been at that birthday party and how Nora’s eyes


    had been lightened up by all the balloons and candles.


    I smiled and then we began nning her birthday party, all the balloons, candles, cake, gifts and


    guests. We should invite her parents so they can see a real party.


    I was so consumed by my thoughts that I didn’t notice that my dad was beside me and looked through


    the shelves so when he touched me, I hit him so hard that he sta ggered a few steps. Da mn.


    “Sorry dad, I didn’t notice you” I say and try to go closer to him but he shakes his head at me and I


    stop.


    “Da mn, you hit hard, Helios” dad says and I look down.


    “He sure does” Elder Williams’ voicees out from behind me and I jump and turn around way too


    fast for me to hold my bnce and I take a hold of one of the shelves.


    Both dad and elder William seem amused by me as they


    laugh.


    “Well instead of getting caught in a boring book we should go outside on this sunny day and train, what


    do you say, getting off this unspent energy as true lycans?” elder William says and
