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 overcome 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 place that was ruined by a storm a couple of years ago. So I thought this could be her new place where she can do whatever she wants.” I explain and smile at the thought.
“Always the good and perfect brother” Ares mutters but I still hear him and glares at him because of it.
“Well I guess that’s only natural since you are playing 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. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“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

“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.
“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, come now brother, we still have to talk with dad” I say and drag Ares away, playing 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, come 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 place, 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 that comes 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 the last of his whiskey before he refills the glass.
“Okay give me a second, my lycan has finally calmed down and my senses have finally returned to normal” our father looks pleadingly at

“Then I will begin and your father can tell his version when I am finished unless he is to drunk for that ” uncle Dave laughs and I frown and look at my father that glares 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 villages of the kingdom, it was a poor village 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”
