Helel stared at the ceiling of his room, he didn't bother to move from where he slept until he heard footsteps coming straight to his door, he still didn't move when the sweet scent of wild roses and the faint scent of fresh snow filled his room even before she entered, " what are you doing on the floor, Helel? You could-" her words put to pulse when her son spoke, he was still angry with her, that was certain. " I won't catch cold mother, I'm not human!" He said still not looking at her and the room was silent, " well that's okay and you're perfect like this" she smiled softly, Helel rolled over before he was completely up from the floor and his hair fell to cover his eyes, his lips set in a tin line. " you need to get ready!" His mother clapped in excitement as she pulled him into the bathroom, Helel hated to spoil the fun but he didn't like any of this. " I don't want to do this, mother!" He frowned and Esther smiled again, "it's not like you have a choice, darling…..you're destined to, Helel you….you are right where you belong and must coop with the fact?" She said with a raised brow as if waiting for him digest what she was saying and he still frowned deeply, even clearer with his hair styled away from his beautiful face.
They walked out of the palace building and the king stood tall and proud, looking satisfied with the view in front of him, Helel walked behind his mother like her shadow and his mate was shining in the dress he picked for her.
"Perfect!"
He said before gesturing them into the carriage, which was prepared for their departure and the ride was uncomfortable and strangely awkward. The trio sat facing each other in the carriage with the king staring at the two in front of him, he just couldn't believe they were with him. " so, where are we going?" Helel asked, breaking the silence. " what do you mean Helel?" His mother scolded but he shook his head, " no mother, I want to know why….he cares all of a sudden? That's so hard to accept, I'm sorry " he said fuming at the thought of it, the king sighed loudly. His son was more like him at that age, and he actually didn't change a thing, " you are my son, my blood and that fact will never change, I don't know what you think of me now but one thing is certain for sure…I'm a greedy man to claim you both after everything and I'm not even ashamed" The king said staring straight at the boy who was shaking out of anger. " both of you are making the air in this space very hard to breathe in!" Esther warned them and they both shifted in their seats. " I just want to make amends, you know ?" The king said as he looked at the boy again, " yeah, keep dreaming….your majesty!" Helel retorted and Esther hit him on the arm making him flinch and the king smiled in victory as they continued their journey.
"What do you mean?" Queen Helena asked in disbelief, "no! This can't be happening!" She shook her head as she tried to sit and avoid collapsing to the ground. " you need to rest Helena!" Her father warned and she stared at him, " rest? How can I, when she's back with her son father! You promised the throne to my son and now she comes, can the dead rise?" She asked still confused and her father had to shake her violently, " stop whining and think Helena, how can the dead resurrect, this is because they were not dead to begin with and you still have the chance to put them in the grave where they belong" the old man said nodding at his daughter's realization. " all is not lost Helena "....
The carriage came to a stop and the guard opened the door for them, the king came out first and gave Esther his hand to take, Helel scoffed faintly before he jumped out of the carriage, the guards bowed when he walked pass them, they were led to the stage before he realized that the town's people had gathered there waiting for the king as he walked his mate to the front and Helel followed, the people gasped at the sight, so the missing queen was truly found and the prince. They bowed deeply and waited for the king to speak.
" It is a great honor to have you all here today, yes what you heard is true and I brought them here as prove, my queen has been found with my son and I'm so happy to announce. If you should meet him anywhere he's your prince and my son, Helel Morgan and queen Esther Morgan!" The king said as he looked at each of them and the crowd shouted, clearly happy with the king and Helel was taken back by this, the king actually did this!
Later in the day, the king sent for the royal messenger to go back to the kingdom and invite the people to the naming ceremony that is to beheld in the palace.
Preparations had already started when they returned to the palace and Helel did not say a word until he reached his chamber and turned to look at his mother and she smiled at him warmly, " see, you belong here my love " she said simply. " even it is still hard mother, I really want to enjoy this moment but something keeps telling me to be weary of all these " he said, looking at his mother with shiny eyes. Esther pulled him into his embrace as he softened in her arms, feeling all the comfort he needed in her. " everything will be fine, your father…he's not a bad person, I'm angry at him, at the fact that he failed to notice so much but he's a good man and I love him as I love you " she said those words calmly as she felt him squeeze her in his arms and knew he was crying into her dress.
The sound of the soft music being played in the ballroom woke the land up, the king was going to name his twins and found son again on this night when all creatures were actually invited by him, he was going to make it a memorable one to be talked about in history. The people started arriving in the palace compound in various kinds of carriages, from nobles to middle classes to the low classes and everyone was welcomed warmly as they swarmed in the ballroom with different colors of dresses making the huge hall warm and even brighter with all the merriment and excitement and queen Helena sat there holding her twin girl covered in silk and riches while her maids surrounded her with one holding her twin son, trying her best to not make him cry, else she was done for. " where the hell is Austin?" Helena demanded as she continued to fed her child behind the eyes. " my queen, prince Austin is not in the hall " a maid answered and Helena glared at her before she stood up in her seat and gave her child to another maid before she started walking out of the hall to look for prince Austin.
" my prince, w-what are you doing?" A girl asked in panic as Austin pushed her against a wall and sniffed her in, she breathed fast as the prince pinned her face to the wall. " this is going to be quick and not so painful if you stay quiet and don't make me put more pressure than I'm supposed to " he growled into her ear as he licked behind her ear, his fang grazing her neck as she whimpered, " please-d-don't do this, I'm…..Ahhh" she screamed when he forcefully pushed into her core behind her and covered her mouth with his free hand. " damn! So fuckin small.." he breathed the words into her neck as he kept pushing his whole length into her, earning a more painful sound from her which he didn't really care at the moment because he was after his release and was finding it really difficult, was she a first timer!
He turned her to face him and her tears didn't matter to him as he carried her weakened legs to gain more access to pound her and picked space with her one hand on her small breast moving way up to her neck to hold her in place while the other still covered her mouth, "Ah ah ah, fuck!" He continued nearing his sweet release but then, someone pulled him with force…..
