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 slaps Mia away from Ares. It went down so fast that I didn’t have tto 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 glances atover 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 calleddad, you haven’t calledthat 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 explain and dad nods his head in shame. “Guards, take the witch down to the dungeons” dad says and I smile as the guards cinto 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 letknow 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 a laughing fit and makesstare at him before I shake my head and wander further into the library. I search the shelves after the scrolls when I feel someone behindand 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 sendsantal 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 playing a joke on you then, he is sitting in that scary room and researching about the first lycans* Ben explains toand I nod.
Oh that would explain things, if elder William is bored and wants to sp ookor something, he has always been playful 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 by coming into her room with different desserts. One tI cin as she and Ben were drinking coffee and eating cookies, the entire room smelled of it. Anna smiled as I cin and poureda mug with coffee too and we sat down to eat scookies. 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 planning 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 besideand 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 atand I stop. “Da mn, you hit hard, Helios” dad says and I look down. “He sure does” Elder Williams’ voice comes out from behindand I jump and turn around way too fast forto hold my balance and I take a hold of one of the shelves. Both dad and elder William seem amused byas 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
III cra cks his back.
