Helios Pov

When Nora healed Dave I didn’t really believe her or him but I just needed to see if she could do whatever she did again. I mindlinked the guards to find my uncle and when they did I ordered them to make sure he couldn’t run away and then I brought Nora to him.

She was surprised by his purple eyes but kneeled in front of him and touched him and a matter of seconds she was

forced back but that didn’t stop her as she grabbed him again. This time her aura rushed out so forcefully that even I sweated a bit.

When she finally let him go she was crying and my uncle’s aura came back, weak but it was back. I couldn’t believe it but I recognized my uncle after 100 years of despair. I went to hug him when Nora suddenly fainted and I caught her. She must be exhausted after all of that and there are still about 500 or more lycans that have gone mad.

My mate must become stronger than she already is and I think that I can’t keep her presence hidden for so long. I watch her peaceful face as I carry her in my arms as we walk back to the car. I slide in with her in my arms and set her gently on the seat while my uncle takes the opposite seat and looks at her in awe.

“How are you feeling?” I ask him.

“I don’t know. I have been screaming for so many years and no one could hear me so it’s refreshing to finally be out and be talking to someone again. I am grateful for her and for you, but you must understand that I will do anything in my power to protect her from now on”

I nod at him and watch Nora sleep, she makes a very cute noise in her sleep and I chuckle at her.

“You know, she entered my mind and she saw the day when the curse came into power. She saw my mate and my daughter, your cousin. She saw what happened to them, how they died. It was gruesome, I hope she doesn’t pity me, I don’t need anyone’s pity.” my uncle explains.

“She won’t, if you knew her childhood, you would never even think that thought” I say and smile sadly while looking at Nora.

The car ride to the castle didn’t take too long as not many were outside; they probably went inside when they heard about the attack. I look up at the front yard and I see her, sigh.

My brothers crazy witch girlfriend, Mia, is standing there. Acting like she is the future queen along with my father.

As I step out of the car with Nora in my arms my father claps his hand in joy but his face falls completely when he sees his brother coming out next.

“What is the meaning of this?” Mia asks with a loud voice.

“What do you think?” I ask back.

“Son, finally you are home. Can I take it that you have found your mate then?” my father asks and nods at Nora.

I smile brightly and nod my head.

“Yes, this is Nora. Can we talk later? I want her to rest and wake up in my room, undisturbed” I answer and glare at Mia.

“Sure, sure. We will leave her be. Don’t forget to say “hi” to your brother” my father answers and lets us pass.

I walk up to my room without bumping into my brother which I am eternally grateful for right now. Even if we

happen to be twins we would never share a mate since it’s impossible and unheard of but that bi tch witch Mia wants to be queen and I won’t let that happen at all.

I lay my mate on my bed and leave her a note telling her where she is and to just call me when she wakes up.

NORA POV

My dreams were invaded by the curse, I tried so hard to figure out how it all began but it stood still in my brain. As- the nightdream played out I could feel Helios heartbeat and I knew that I was safe until I felt a certain aura. It promised evil and death, I wonder who it belongs to.

I blink my eyes slowly, trying to wake up as the warmth of my mate has disappeared and his scent isn’t as strong anymore making my lycan wake up and is on high alert. I sit up slowly and see that I am in a bed in a room that I have

no idea who it belongs to. It’s nice though, it goes in colors. of dark purple and dark green.

I get up from the bed and look around just to notice that the room is empty. Helios could have left a note, I thought for myself. I walked slowly towards the door and opened it, there was nob*dy outside so I sneaked out. I try to sniff out Helios scent and I find it but it is very faint and as I round a corner I bump into someone, a guard I believe.

“Hello Miss. Who are you looking for?” the guard asks.

“My mate, he is the prince here” I say and look past him.

“Ah um, well, The prince is downstairs with his girlfriend’ the guard surprises me with his answer.

“Girlfriend?” I think out loud. Of course. Helios is the lycan prince, he must have a girlfriend. Why didn’t I think of that before.

“Shall I show you the way so you can confront him and perhaps give him a slap?” the guard asks and looks excited.

“I guess that you don’t like the prince then?” I ask and raise an eyebrow.

“What, of course I do but that witch needs to learn her

place and now would be a good time.” the guard explains and I tilt my head but he just smiles and guides the way -down the stairs.

The castle is quite impressive and I would love to explore but right now I need to see Helios and perhaps reject him. I wonder if Daniel would like to be with me afterwards or if I

am forced out of the kingdom.

I stop as the guard does and show the way with his hand and I follow it and see a black haired girl sitting in Helios lap. His hands are on her hips and she laughs at something he said and he smiles and gives her a wink before one of his hands slides down to her bu tt. He squeezes it gently and she moans, he k*sses her and squeezes her breast with the other hand and she gasps and bends her head backwards and she looks me straight in the eyes.

Helios licks at her throat while the girl just smiles at me and licks her l*ps in temptation, and my lycan wakes up and releases a growl. Helios je rks his head up and I stare into his _eyes, the surprise in them makes him drop the girl in his lap onto the floor. He stands up and stalks towards me and as he just can reach out and touch me the guard moves in between us.

“Your highness shouldn’t harm his mate just because of his girlfriend” the guard says and I tilt my head looking at the guard.

“He isn’t my mate” I say confused.

“But you said your mate is the prince and he IS the prince.” the guard says confused.

“Perhaps but he doesn’t smell like my mate and my lycan hasn’t said anything” I say even more confused.

“You are a lycan?” The guard gasps in surprise.

Oh sh it, that was supposed to be a secret since I don’t smell

like one. I look at the guard and notice that his lycan is out and that he grabs my arm and leans in. His fangs are out and he tries to mark me but he doesn’t get very far as the prince breaks his n*eck with his bare hands.

“You are my MATE. You will not deny that!” the prince says and I just stare at him like he is st upid.

“Nope.” Helios is my mate. Do you know where he is?” I say and refuse to look down at the now dead guard.

“My brother is your mate? That is impossible, there is no way that we can share a mate, even if he is my twin brother I will challenge him for you”Helios brother growled slowly.

“Ares! You are scaring her, think about what you are doing. What about me then? Will you just cast me aside then?” The black haired girl said and I looked past the prince to see her standing a few meters away with her arms crossed.

“Not now Mia.” I will deal with you later” the prince said without looking at her. His eyes were glued to mine and I stared back when I suddenly smelled Helios scent and I glanced behind me.

But Helios’ brother demanded my attention as he gripped my arm and pulled me down hard from the two last steps on the stairs. I tripped over the dead guard’s b*dy and the prince caught me and took me in his arms.

But it lasted a few seconds because the prince was ripped away from me like Daniel once was. But this time it was Daniel that ripped him off of me and a pair of strong arms hugged me from behind, Helios. I leaned back and sighed

as I smelled my mates scent, Helios chuckled and then he growled possessively.

Helios’ brother hit Daniel and got himself free and turned to us while looking on the verge of shifting but right before that, the black haired girl took a hold of his arm and my lycan growled at her.

“Don’t do this Ares, she is my mate and my lycan is not happy that you try to take her away from us” Helios warns him. So I guess his name truly is Ares then.

“She is my mate too, brother” Ares growls and Helios holds tightens around me.

“That’s impossible,” Helios says.

Helios put his nose in the cro ok of my n*eck and I sigh as I feel safe but in that split second Ares lycan feels jealous and betrayed and he forces Ares to shift. Daniel throws himself at him but Ares throws him into the wall and I let out a shriek. Helios pulls me behind him and he jumps and shifts midair. Then the brothers start to fight while the black haired girl just stands there with a bored expression.

“ENOUGH!” a man comes out through a door shouting.

Both brothers freeze and their lycans whine at the older man. Helios and Ares share some wounds on their bodies

but they don’t seem bothered by them.

“Both of you. It’s enough, you are scaring her, she doesn’t understand and if this is how you are treating your mate and the future queen, I will take her for myself,

understood? Helios? Ares?” the older man says with an authority in his voice.

Both Helios and Ares shifted back and now I noticed it, both of them have identical wounds, perhaps because they are twins? Or is it something else?

“But father, even if she is Helios mate, she is also mine and my lycan wants her” Ares says.

“Your lycan but what about you, do you want her or do you want to take your chosen one as your mate?” Their father asks and I look at him in confusion.

“My lycan won’t allow that, you know that father” Ares whispers and looks down.

“Well then, shall we hear from the young lady in question then?” Their father says and walks slowly towards me. When he stands in front of me he reaches out his hand which I take and walks slowly down the step Helios pushed

me up on.

“I am Helios’ mate and my lycan hasn’t reacted to Prince Ares but she growls when the girl there is touching him. It’s like she is confused or something.” I say and look at their

father.

“Hmm well have you touched him then? Perhaps you need to touch his skin for your lycan to recognize her mate?” he says and walks me over to Ares and Helios.

Ares reaches out his hand almost eagerly while he shakes his head in frustration. I look at Helios and he hesitantly

nods his head, I slowly reach for Ares’ hand and just as I am about to touch him the black haired girl yells.

“What about me then? Did you all forget about me?”

“Oh Mia, I didn’t notice you there. Of course we didn’t forget about you but we must test this don’t you agree? And then Ares and the young lady can make a decision to be with each other or not” The king glares at the girl, Mia.

Ares takes my hand before I can take it back completely and I feel my wolf howl in my head. Ares k*sses the back of my hand and then looks me in the eyes and gasps.

“Mate” I say with both mine and my lycans voice.

“Your eyes, they are purple” the girl, Mia says and I turn to look at her and the king.

“Yes, is it so strange then?” I ask in confusion.

“No it isn’t but we need to talk inside our father’s office about this. It is unheard of for someone to have two mates and especially siblings with royal blood. We need to talk undisturbed” Helios explains and his father agrees.

“Mia, dear can you wait in Ares’ room in the meantime?” the king asks her but she shakes her head.

“No, I will go home and talk to my mother about this impossible thing, perhaps they will have some answers,” she says and stares at me.

None of the men say anything until Daniel groans and I am reminded that Ares threw him into the wall and I take my

k

hand from Ares and run over to Daniel. As I touch him, Ares growl vibrates through the air but I don’t care about that at all.

“Don’t brother, they are twin souls’ Helios says and both Ares and their father gasps.

“It’s fine, I’m okay. The prince didn’t use all of his strength, thank god.” Daniel says and smiles.

“You should go with them and I will clean this mess up” Daniel says and points at the guard.

The king looks in that direction and then looks pis sed off. I guess he didn’t notice the guard from the start.

“What in heaven’s he ll? “Who did this?” the king says and looks around.

“I did, he tried to force a mark on her when he learned that she is a lycan so I snapped his n*eck” Ares shrugs.

“Daniel, please, take care of that and notify his family, if he has any. Thank you” Helios’ say and smiles sadly.

“Always the perfect brother and prince,” Ares mutters.

Daniel stands up and smiles at me and nods for me to go, that he is fine so I go over to Helios and take his hand earning a growl from Ares.

“Perhaps the young lady will go with me then. By the way may I ask your name, young lady?” The king asks.

“My name is Nora” I say and smile while I take his hand.

The king guided me through the door he came out of and into a corridor with a lot of paintings and I really wanted to see them more but perhaps another day. We walked to a bigger staircase that we walked up and then we took a left and then a right and down a flight of stairs and then a right and then up a flight of stairs and I am really lost now.

“Oh my I am so sorry, you have totally lost your way now, Nora dear. Am I right? I noticed that you were looking at the paintings so I thought of showing you where there are more but now you just seem lost.” The king says and I nod in confusion.

“But thankfully we have arrived now, this is the door to my office” the king says and I look at the door.

It’s a dark brown door with a little sign on it “The king’s office”.

The king opens the door and nods for me to go inside and I do and almost scream my lungs out as a huge lycan greets me. It’s not just any lycan, it’s huge and its b*dy is littered with scars and the eyes are whi te and from its mo uth it drops blood.

I turn and run out from his office and bump right into Ares, I hug him hard and he hugs me back.

“Nora, what happened, are you okay?” Helios asks and I feel his worry and concern for me.

“A huge lycan with wh ite eyes and blood ran down its mo uth” I whisper, still shaking a bit.

“There is nothing in my office, take a look.” the king says. and i peek as Helios looks in and then shakes his head.

I slowly walk back and peek inside but it’s still there and I shake my head and turn away. Helios takes my hand and I look up at him and he nods for me to look inside the office again but it’s still there but now it has a symbol on it’s chest that I didn’t see there before.

“It’s still there but now it’s a symbol on its chest.” I say and look at the king and he nods and closes the door.

“What does the symbol look like?” he asks and I tell them.

“It’s a six point star with a sun in the middle” I explain.

“Mia” Ares growls.

“That symbol is Mia’s witch coven’s symbol, they are sending you visions, probably to test you if you are indeed the last female lycan” Helios explains and sighs.

I stare at him and then at Ares. What have I done for her to ha te me? I didn’t mean to be friends with her boyfriend, doesn’t she know that it is painful for me to?

“Is it because of my blood then?” ask Helios and he looks

at me.

“It could be,” he answers.

“What about her blood?” the king asks and Ares moves closer and touches my hand. I guess he misses the b*dy

contact.

“My parents told me before I left that their bloodlines come from two different lycan kingdoms and that I am the last royal female warrior as my bloodlines come from the Blaze kingdom and the knight kingdom” I finish and both Ares and the king look stunned.

I was about to say something when Ares pulled me towards him and k*ssed me before he abruptly left us. I turn confused toward Helios and the king when he suddenly

growls.

“You will reject her or I will banish you and ki ll her!” He growls out with a furious aura.
