Luna of the Cursed Alpha King (Helga and Siegren)

from her grasp.

THE WEIGHT of Portia's words hung heavily in Helga's mind as she sat curled up on the sofa, engrossed in a book while waiting for Siegren to return home. She had just finished eating dinner and taking a bath, but even after completing these tasks, sleep seemed far With a heavy sigh, she leaned against the plush backrest of the sofa, trying to quiet the restless thoughts that raced through her mind like wildfire. The revelation that a descendant of the witch who cursed the royal family could potentially lift the curse left her with a thousand questions; if this was possible, why did the previous Alpha Kings banish all witches and warlocks? "Something doesn't add up." Helga muttered under her breath. She had asked Portia earlier where she had learned about the information, and she claimed it was common knowledge within the royal pack. " is was true, shouldn't the previous Alpha Kings have searched for every witch and look and looked for someone who could po y lift the curse instead of killing them?

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" A sharp, familiar voice pierced through the stillness of the room, jolting Helga out of her thoughts. She quickly turned towards the door where Siegren had just stepped inside. He approached her with a few graceful strides, his gaze fixed on her as he came closer. Helga's mind was so consumed with her own musings that she hadn't even sensed his presence in the bed chambers, which surprised and slightly unnerved her. Siegren's

n's brow furrowed as he noticed Helga's distressed reaction.

"Is something bothering you? Did something happen while I was away?" he asked, and Helga quickly shook her head before closing the book in her hands and setting it on the center table in front of her.

"It's nothing, just lost in thought," she replied, standing up to assist him with removing his blazer and draping it on the coat rack. She then turned her head towards him as he sat down on the sofa, his gaze locked onto hers.

"Is it about the young Madden's wedding?" he asked, watching Helga walk towards him. He knew she would still be affected by her ex-lover despite her constant assurance that she was fine. She was so consumed by her thoughts that she let her guard down, not sensing him approaching. What would happen if someone attacked her, and she couldn't defend herself because her mind was preoccupied with that bastard's wedding? The thought alone annoyed him.

"No, of course not," Helga smiled as she shook her head, "How did the inspection go? It seemed like a big deal based on how you and David handled the job today."

"There have been reports of children being trafficked in the capital. Young werewolves and humans, ages 7 to 12, have gone missing so, I decided to investigate the Central Plaza, as most reports had indicated it was where the missing children were last seen. I wanted to see if there were any signs of suspicious activity in the area. David will investigate this further, and we are hoping to find those kids as soon as possible," he explained, reaching out to run his hand through Helga's hair and smelling the sweet scent of vanilla coming from "What kind of heartless-" Helga's sentence was cut short as she reflected on her own experience and understood the gravity of the situation. "Hold on, what if the missing children are being sold in an underground auction? Has that crossed your mind?"

her.

"Yes, that was actually the first thought that crossed my mind, which is why I instructed the royal guards to increase their patrols around the capital and look out for any sign of a suspicious place," he replied, picking up on the concern in her voice. After all, she had gone through a similar experience during her childhood. Looking back, he realized he should act against those who caused her so much pain and suffering.

"I promise, I will rescue those children," he whispered as he embraced her tightly, pulling her onto his lap. Helga nodded in silent agreement, placing her trust in him. The thought of children being kidnapped and sold into slavery for profit made her furious. She felt a strong desire to take action and protect those innocent victims from experiencing horrific situations that could scar them for life and impact their future. "Let's return to our previous conversation," Siegren suggested, causing Helga to glance at him with her head tilted. She was momentarily puzzled before realizing that he might still be curious about why she had seemed preoccupied earlier. "What Chapter 46

was on your mind carlier?".

"Oh." She blinked in surprise and shifted uncomfortably, "It's just, I had asked Portia earlier about how the curse on the royal family started. She couldn't answer, but she did mention that it was well-known among the royal pack that only a descendant of the witch who cast the the curse could break it. And it bothered me."

"Why?" Siegren asked. It wasn't a surprise that she would want to know more about the curse and honestly, he didn't mind sharing the story of its origin with her.

"If the witch's descendant had the power to break the curse, then why did the previous Alpha Kings choose to eliminate them?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"Each witch they discovered was thoroughly examined to determine if they were a descendant of Sorenne. However, none. of them had her bloodline, so they were all sentenced to death," he replied in a Malant tone, leaving Helga speechless.

"Is Sorenne the witch who cast a curse on the royal family?" she inquired, and he confirmed with a nod.

"I'll fill you in on more details later." he glanced at the clock, and returned his attention to Helga while his hands were on her delicate waist, "Can you wait for me? I will take a bath first."

"All right," Helga nodded and I moved off of f his lap as she stood I up. She then observed him as he walked to the bathroom. Once he disappeared from view, Helga pursed her lips and stood up to step out onto the balcony for some fresh air. The cool night breeze brushed against her skin, providing much-needed relief from her warm cheeks. Taking a deep breath, Helga gazed up at the moon shining brightly in the starry sky above. She stood there, taking in the peacefulness of the night until Siegren finished his bath. "He beckoned her closer, and she nodded and watched as he dried off his hair with a towel, a familiar sight since they started sharing a room. When she entered the room, Siegren shut the door behind them, and they both climbed into bed together. eaten Have you ack against the head headboard. "Hmm, David and I ate in the restaurant before heading home," he answered as he turned to face her and tenderly brushed away the strands of hair that fell onto her forehead. "Do you want to hear the story now?" ne "Yes, I'm really curious about it." "Helga showed her interest by nodding eagerly, and Siegren couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. "There was actually a book about it. It was a diary from the first Alpha King, detailing the origins of the curse. According to the diary, my ancestor, Baltazar, had been lost in the woods after his first transformation from wolf to human form. It was during this time that he met Sorenne, a witch his age who helped I him return to his family..." Siegren recounted every detail as if it were new information, he had just learned from reading the diary. "Five months had passed, and Baltazar found himself once again wandering through the same forest where he had first met Sorenne. Their friendship grew stronger as they spent time together, sharing their secrets, struggles, and true selves with one another. And then there was one day when Baltazar visited her with some good news to share, but before he could even tell her, Sorenne took a leap of faith and confessed her feelings for him. However, she was met with polite rejection as Baltazar had already found his destined mate that very same day-a revelation that changed everything between them." "Sorenne's jealousy consumed her, leading her to try and push Baltazar's mate away. However, this only angered him, and The decided to cut ties with her. He thought that was the best thing to do but he didn't know that it would only make Sorenne lose her sanity, enough to put a curse on him and his future children..."

"At first, it seemed like a shallow reason to curse someone, almost like a joke when I read it in the diary, But as I continued

reading through Baltazar's diary, I discovered the true depths of Sorenne's twisted feelings towards him. I realized that love can truly make someone do things they never thought themselves capable of. And in Sorenne's case, it brought out her most dangerous and destructive impulses." "Baltazar had grown tired of her constant attempts to break his bond with his mate, and so he made the decision to imprison her in a place where her magic would be rendered useless. However, the witch's power was so great that she still managed to escape and disappear into the shadows. At first, Baltazar believed there was no need to search for her, thinking the curse he had placed upon her was just a foolish threat..."

"But as time passed, his firstborn son ascended the throne and began transforming into an uncontrollable beast every full moon. To make matters worse, he could not sense or find his destined mate. It wasn't until then that the first Alpha King realized the gravity of the situation and desperately searched for Soreane, knowing only she held the key to breaking the curse."

"It took him a year, but he finally found her. That's when the witch disclosed break the curse..." Siegren spoke and then turned to Helga, who appeared to combination of conflict, sadness, and pity. He took her hand and gently squeezed it before continuing to tell her the story and how it ended."

"After that, Sorenne admitted that even though she had married someone else, her heart would always belong to Baltazar. Her love for him was just as strong as her hatred towards him. Tragically, on that very same day, she took her own life, and no one has ever found her husband and offspring."
