Chapter 48
Helios POV
Maria came along to Mia’s new room, a room on the other side of the castle, as far away from Nora as
possible. They put up a barrier around the room, hindering Mia from going outside or doing any magic
at all.
I stretch my arms up in the air, ignoring Mia’s constant banging on the door, she is a stubborn one. I
don’t see what Ares’ was so attracted to, sure she can be pretty if she ever shuts her mouth but other
than that I don’t get it.
I walk away and try to find Ben and Tristan instead. I want to challenge Tristan, even if he doesn’t like
to fight, he is rather good at it. Sure his mom and my mom were best friends as they were sisters,
adoptive sisters. And so he learned everything about clothes and stuff.
When Tristan was a child, he looked like a girl and so they spoiled him rotten by dressing him up in
dresses and stuff, embarrassing. So Ares took the time and trained hard instead since he has a natural
talent for that while I ran after dad. I learned everything about politics and the boring stuff that Ares
calls it.
But I was weak as a child and I didn’t have any other choice. than to follow my dad. I know now why
mom and dad were strange toward each other but I didn’t know then.
I was a fast learner so I got my lessons earlier than Ares did, history, geographic, politics and other
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsubjects like economics
and stuff so I could follow my dad to other kingdoms and be a part of the discussions there.
I never told Nora this but I have been in both blaze and knight kingdom and I have learned different
things in the other kingdoms. I learned how to defend myself and anticipate the other opponents’
movements in the knight kingdom. The blaze kingdom’s people never lied and they could always tell
when someone else lied. I tried to learn from them but it was hard to understand them.
Fred, a lycan from the Blaze kingdom said that he could see a person’s aura and when its aura
changed its color to black, that person lied. I tried so har to see one’s aura but it was hard. I traveled to
the other kingdoms as well and learned a few tricks here and there.
And now I can use those tricks to pass my time once again. until Nora wakes up. I do hope we will find
anything that will help her wake up faster. I have a feeling there is a war coming up and I don’t want her
to get hurt. After all, we aren’t the only kingdom that has been cursed.
The other kingdoms have also heard of Nora’s existence and soon they will come for her, as the last
female lycan and the one that can break the curse. They won’t care that she has a matebond to me
and Ares. And that is precisely why it is so important that she is never left alone.
I find both Ben and Tristan in my room. Nora described my room as ridiculously large and she hasn’t
seen all of it yet. My room has four other rooms that are joined to my bedroom. And right now Ben and
Tristan are in my so-called office but I like to call it my study instead.

The room is filled with various books and a large table where I study or talk with my friends and right
now both my betas are here. Well Tristan is more a personal assistant to Ares but his responsibilities
are equal to a beta, but he refuses the title.
“Too much work comes along with it” Tristan always says.
I shake my head as I enter the room but leave the door open as I can sense that Ares aren’t that far
behind me and just as I take a seat my brother shows up in the door.
“Close the door and take a seat, I have something to tell you guys” I say and Ares’ nods and closes the
door.
“What is the matter, Helios?” Ben asks concerned.
“I t’ s important but first. I challenge you to a fight, Tristan” I say and turn to look at Tristan.
“Damn, I wanted to challenge Ben as well,” Ares laughs.
Both Ben and Tristan laughs and accepts the challenges.
“So what do you want to talk about?” Ares asks.
“Dad doesn’t know about this just yet but there is a war coming.” I begin to say but Ares cuts in with a
laugh

“This time I am sure, I have been tipped off, they are coming next month. They are coming for Nora.” I
say and Ares sits. down again and stares at me.
“How do they know about Nora?” Tristan asks.

“Either it’s a witch or we have a traitor among us” Ben says.
“Yes, I thought so at first but then I remembered, one of the rogue lycans that kidnapped Nora into the
forest. He was from another kingdom and we sent him back a couple of weeks ago.” I say and sigh
“Then he told them and now everyone knows about her and they would want her for their own.” Tristan
says.
“No, She is ours, they can’t have her” Ares stands up so fast that the chair falls to the floor with a bang.
Ben claps his hands and I smile at Ares.
“What?” Ares asked confused
“You said that she is ours not yours” I say with a wide smile.
“Yeah, I had a dream about Artemis. She explained to me that the entire time I thought that Nora was
mine and mine alone, Artemis was hurt. I needed to get it through my thick skull that Nora isn’t just
mine or your brother. She was sent to us for all lycans sake.” Ares explains
I stared at him. Of course, she is the loophole of the curse, she was meant for all of us. So why in the
world does she have a matebond to me and Ares?
