Luna of the Cursed Alpha King (Helga and Siegren)

v Chapter 119

THE PALACE OF VERDENTIA was alive with the bustle of activity as guards and warriors went about their daily tasks. The air was filled with the sounds of gunshots, shouted commands, growls and heavy footsteps as warriors trained rigorously for the looming bale ahead Standing at the window of his study, Siegren gazed out at the scene below, his eyes drawn to the figure of Lucian. The tall. muscular man stood at the forefront, expertly leading his troops through their intense drills with precision. It's been a week since Helga went to Narva, and the days she wasnt by his side felt like complete torture, it was worse than the curse he was suffering for years. Every day, his desire to attack Riovanni's pack grew stronger as he longed to reunite with his wife once again. But his beta always reminded him of the plan they had made and the importance of following They may have had t d the upper hand.

"What is Sierra doing there?" and against the war pack they were preparing to face, but they were up against Lycans who were known for their unparalleled strength-they could not afford to underestimate them.

ere?" Siegren asked as he saw his sister approaching Lucian

David, who was lounging on the sofa, sat up and made his way to the window, observing Sterra as she joined the warriors for Training. "Maybe she just wanted to train I to train?" David shrugged; it had already been decided that Sierra and Portia would remain in the country to oversee the palace. Only a select few warriors and high-ranking pack members would be chosen to travel to Narva, so Siegren couldn't help but wonder why his sister needed training for this task. "By the way- David wasn't able to finish his sentence when the telephone rang. They both turned their heads to the table. and Siegren immediately walked towards it, picking it up and holding it against his ear. "Hello?" he answered, waiting for the person on the other end to say something. When it happened, all the breath was knocked out of him, and a grin appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty." Helga said, her voice felt like a soothing balm for Siegren but it also made his heart beat faster. Hearing her voice made everything seem a bit brighter again. "How are you doing? Sorry for not reaching out sooner.

"It's alright...

I missed you so much, your absence was killing me inside but I'm trying my best to hold myself together" Siegren admitted, causing Helga to purse her lips. To be honest, the didn't want to call but their temporary separation was becoming unbearable more than she had anticipated. Even though she thought she could handle not talking or seeing him for a while, every minute spent apart felt like torture, missed you too," Her voice caught in her throat as she took a deep, shuddering breath, fighting back the overwhelming emotions threatening to choke her. She clenched her jaw and forced herself to speak calmly, determined not to shed any tears. "We will meet soon, so let's stay strong" "Yeah."

Siegren nodded, gripping the telephone tight, "How are they treating you there? Is everything fine? Are you in any danger?"

I was well looked after by Riovanni, who made sure to inspect every meal brought to me by the maids. I spent most of my time locked in my room, but occasionally I would go for walks with him," she answered, her emerald gaze flickering towards Riovanni who sat regally behind his mahogany desk. She stood before him, her fingers lightly tapping against the smooth surface as she used his telephone. Suddenly, with light movement, a jarring sound of metal chains clinking caught Siegren's attention.

"What was that? Were you chained?" he asked, his voice almost growling which instantly caused Helga to tense up as she gulped nervously.

"Please calm down, okay? There's a reason why I called you..." She quickly clarified, not wanting Siegren to misinterpret the situation and become upset with Riovanni

The previous Lycan King was getting suspicious of Riovanni's treatment towards me, so we agreed to my plan of putting a 13 02 Fri, Oct 18 Chapter 119

"That's ridiculous, it would hurt You-

"It wasn't that bad." Helga interrupted him before he could react in the way she predicted. She was aware that it wouldn't be appropriate for a queen from another country to be chained, but she believed it was necessary to alleviate Demian's growing suspicion towards them. them. "Where were you chained?" Siegren asked, his brows furrowing it what his mate just said. Helga pursed her lips and locked eyes with Riovanni, both of them sharing a troubled expression. They both knew that the answer she was about to give would not sit well with Siegren

"O-on the neck..." she replied and even before he could react again, she spoke, "I was the one who decided to do it, okay? And I'm totally fine. It wasn't like I've never been chained before. You know my past, this thing-

"Damn it How can you be fine with a chain on your neck?" Siegen growled, making David finch when he felt the Alpha King's aura spike in fury. "Are you a dog? Just because you experienced it before doesn't mean it's fine to experience it again."

"I know, but I explained the reasoning behind it. Do you think that I'm crazy enought that I would want to be chained just because I feel like it?" Helga's brow furrowed in frustration. She knew this shouldn't escalate into an argument, but her emotions were running wild, and she couldn't seem to rein them in. The doctor had warned her about the mood swings that often came with pregnancy but experiencing it firsthand was a whole different story. The unfamiliar surge of intense feelings was unsettling, and Helga despised the loss of control over her own emotions.

"I'm sorry. I'll hang up." she said, not wanting to escalate the conversation into a full-blown argument. Siegren on the other hand, let out a heavy sigh and rubbed his tired eyes with his hand.

No, wait," he muttered, "Don't., Don't hang up. I am so sorry for snapping at you like that, it's just really upsetting."

"It's all right, I understand you," Helga responded, but the following silence was awkward and tense. Even Riovanni and David, who were not involved in the conversation and were simply present in the room, could feel the tension hanging in the air. "I will hand the telephone e to Riovanni, go and talk to him about the plans if there are any changes." "Do you not want to talk to me anymore?" Siegren's mood shifted rapidly from anger to sadness, taking David by surprise. It had been a while since he had seen his friend show any emotion other than seriousness, and he couldn't help but watch him closely. He was glad, but at the same time worried.

"I do, but we can't risk talking for too long and getting caught." Helga explained. "I'll have to pass the phone over to Riovanni, okay?" Siegren let out another sigh and gave a nod of understanding. As much as he wanted to continue talking to her and hear her voice, he knew she was right. They couldn't take the risk of getting caught, especially with the previous Lycan King already growing suspicious of her and Riovanni's activities. "Okay, I love you. Always take care of yourself and let me know immediately if anything happens. I will come and get you soon." he said, his vocie soft and full of affection. Helga couldn't help but smile, her heart fluttering in excitement as she placed a hand on her stomach. She longed to tell him the news, that they were going to have a child-together, but the thought of his potential reaction stopped her.

He was already furious about her being chained, and revealing her pregnancy might push him to attack Riovanni's pack prematurely. She knew he wouldn't be able to wait another week, and that was enough for Helga to strengthen her resolve not to announce her pregnancy yet. "I love you too," She blushed a little as she responded, aware of the other man in the room. Riovanni coughed awkwardly. unsure of how to react to such iquimate words being spoken in fils presence. He knew they were not directed at him, but he couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy. It made him wonder what it would feel like to have someone say those words to hum his mate perhaps. 1-here," Helga rushed to pass the telephone over to Riovanni, and he reached out to take it while addressing the Alpha

Chapter 119 King

As Helga settled herself on the sofa, she was still wearing the collir. However, the end of the chain was not attached to anything, giving her some freedom of movement when alone with him

She shut her eyes and tried to focus on Riovanni's words, but none of them seemed to register in her mind. Her thoughts were still consumed by Siegren's warm voice, which lingered in the back of her mind. She couldn't wait to see him again and share the news with him and the whole royal park members When her mind drified away to sleep, she suddenly remembered that warlock that had been caught the other day. Her eyes popped open, and she turned to face Riovanni, who had just finished talking to Siegren. He noticed her reaction and raised an eyebrow curiously. "What is wrong?" "The

warlock that had gotten caught the other day... What does he look like?" she asked, wondering if it could be Gabriel. "He's blond

He's bion I and has black eyes, why? Riovanni concentrated on the document in front of him and kept working diligently, causing Helga to nod in agreement. "Why was he caught? I mean, what was he doing near the palace border?" she asked again, her curiosity rising the more she pondered on the matter. She couldn't help but wonder, with each passing moment, if her parents were already aware of her presence in Narva. And perhaps, just perhaps, they were even acquainted with the warlock that got caught.

"Hmm, he said she was looking for the grand witch's daughter" Riovanni aswered, causing Helga's eyes to widen, her heart pounding in her chest, but that quickly calmed down when he chuckled. "Ridiculous, right? Does he seriously believe in the myth of the grand witch? It was a popular story here in Narva, but it's obviously not real."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"What if they're real?" Helga blurted out the question before she could stop herself. She was aware that it might make him suspicious, but she was curious to see his reaction and hear his answer. Riovanni looked at her and hummed as he tapped his pen on his chin. "Then my father would stop at nothing to obtain the grand witd. It is said that her blood can heal any illness and injuries. Also, consuming her heart can grant eternal youth and strength Helga felt a chill run down her spine at his response because she wasn't aware of the myth of consuming the grand witch's heart. She swallowed nervously and kept her s locked on Riovanni as he casually leaned back in his chair. Deyes.

"If the grand witch truly exists and has a daughter, their lives would be filled with unfortunate events. People would stop at nothing to obtain their blood and hearts, including my father"
