chapter 44- his past
Helios did not come that night, I tossed and turned, grunting a few times in discomfort but he never came. I started wonder if I had taken it too far, if maybe I was overreacting.
I shook my head, I definitely wasn’t.
Immediately I woke up from my restless sleep. I was out and about, looking for that man. I made a beeline for his room, swinging it open “Helios, we need to talk” i was met with no other person than his hutler, who was spreading new sheets on the bed..
the king is at a
a meeting” was all he said, going on to treat me like I did not exist. I nodded, a blush covering my face as I went
back to my room less energetic than when I left
I sat on the bed, looking at everything and nothing in particular
A knock came at the door, stopping me from my train of thought. “hi how are you feeling?” it was the woman from yesterday, the one who treated:
u” I umided a bit.
“Emily” she added when she saw how embarrassed that I did not know her name.
“your name is normal.” I said, the surprise evident in my voice
“well, thank you? the chuckled not knowing what to have replied.
It was silent between us for a while, till the maidi came in, bringing in trays of food. “I hope you don’t mind joining me for barakfast?” I smiled politely at her
“al course” she looked like the genuinely didn’t mind and even laid her napkin on her laps when the food started to be served. She seemed different from her sibling, where her two brothers, assuming Ermis was also her brother, were calm had had this serious air around them she was more welcoming. She didn’t seem as pale.
We were alone once again, me, immediately stuffing my mouth in case thing got mad quiet again.
“I heard you people fight yesterday, I am sorry for eavesdropping, I could not help myself” I said nothing to that. It wasn’t like there was actually anything I could say “please don’t hurt him, he has been through enough” she said, buttering her toast and then
it meant to he
“I don’t think I have that much power Emily, you heard everything yesterday. He toyed with my feeling! We w mates or anything but still be matched us, he faked all these feeling for me, be didn’t give me a choice! Everything is getting worked up again just thinking about it
That so bad to live a lie?” she said in a quiet voice. I stopped to look at her. Not seriously believing what she was saying, “I mean I know my brother, he is the nicest person I know” I had to give a double take at what she was saying. Sure he wasn’t cruel, but his vold and unbathered personality didn’t sum up to be nice either.
“yeah, I am sure he saw me suffering at my pack to help the poor gir. I bet he just took the poor defenceless one to have a little bit of fun with till he got tired and wanted to dispose of her. Because why else? Would be even be with me? Heck, why else would he be on our pack land in the first place if he didn’t have other plans, the council said it themselves, he had no business being there, yet he was. Don’t you see?” the more I thought about it, the more everything seemed to piece together.
She looked at me shaking her head a bit as if to tell me how wrong was. She placed the remaining piece of that on the table. want you to listen and listen good” she turned around, as if looking to see if anybody was in the room with us, before she turned “Back to face me. She looked at me with softer eyes this time around.

chapter 44- his past
“Helios is nothing like that. I don’t know about your mating life but can tell you one thing for sure. Helios going to your realm
was for his mum”
I blinked, I noticed how she salil his mum, not out mum. She seemed to see the confusing on my face because the clarified, “we share the same father, but that is it, our mothers are different. I am sure you have heard that our kind don’t mate.” I nodded. looking at her now, with rapt attention.
status to make their offspring stronger. While some do
“most people of our status tend to find love interests with people of get escorts to warm their bed for the night” dread filled the pits of my stomach as I already knew where this was going. “Helios was that child, the child of an’escort, sex worker, anything you want to call it, he wasn’t much loved by my father because of that. His mother was told to get rid of him because our dad was not going to as his time bringing up a child that would not have status or
power.
father recognised him was on his eighteenth birthday when Of course she didn’t she raised him single handled. The only time he showed that he indeed wielded great power. Even then, he worked a hundred times over to make my father proud while the rest of us could be nasty and he would still love us,” She took in a deep breath, looking at me before she continued.
a few months ago and his mother feel ill. It was the only family he knew, and was taken from her, without the opportunity of seeing her ever again. He was scared, he went far and wide looking for a cure that could heal her. It was scary, the thought that he was going to lose her forever. That was the time he stumbled on your land”
Now I felt like a horrible person for assuming because he was just a person with an inner child trying to help his mother.
“his mother, did she?” it would be horrible if she did.
“no. I think he found a cure for her”
“but
if he isn’t allowed to see her how did he know?”
She had this odd smile on her lips as if remembering a distant memory. “ever since he proved himself and became king he planned ball after ball just to see his mother. It wasn’t so hard to find out a reason after missing two balls when she never missed one.
Anyways, I just wanted you to know that him meeting you? It might have been an accident he is not the bad guy everyone paints him out to be. Just please, hear him out and don’t hurt him” she had this look in her eyes. One of sadness,
She left a little while after that, leaving me to my thoughts.
Maybe I could listen to him
on to him with an open
mind
