Luna of the Cursed Alpha King (Helga and Siegren)

Chapter 95 arrangements,

"YOUR MAJESTY." The butler's voice broke the silence of the quiet afternoon, and the Alpha king immediately gave him permission to enter. With the success of last night's welcoming party, he was now focused ont fulfilling their duties and finalizing the treaty "What's the matter?" Siegren glanced up from the reports in his hands as he asked. I immediately. The meeting had ended hours ago, but he was poring over the docume hadn't overlooked any crucial details.

"After days of searching, we have finally found the paper we were looking for." The butler strode towards the table, holding out the folded letter for the Alpha King's eyes only. He had taken extra care to ensure that no one else would be able to read its contents.

"Where did you find it?" Siegren asked as he eagerly reached for the plece of paper, and soon as it was on his hand, he opened it to read the words his mother had written. But as he began reading, his mind went blank, and all other sounds faded away, even what was the butler was saying until he could only focus on the words before him. His heart raced with a mix of emotions-fear, panic, disbelief. His hand shook uncontrollably as if trying to hold on to something that was slipping

away:

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" The butler's voice snapped him out of his reverie, causing him to glance up in surprise. "You look quite pale, sire. Would you like me to fetch the physician?"

"No, I'm fine. You may go now." With a dismissive wave, Siegren sent the butler away before rising from his chair and making his way to the balcony. He closed his eyes, letting the cool breeze wash over him as he took slow, deliberate breaths. The sound of chirping birds and distant traffic mingled with his racing thoughts, With a frustrated sigh, he tore the paper into tiny pieces and crumpled them in his hand. As he was about to toss it aside, another knock on the door made him starile. With a sigh, he returned to his office and hastily stuffed the paper into his pocket when he saw Helga open it. The sight of her peering through the door made his heart ache with guilt.

"Did

drink something happen?" she asked, noticing that he wasn't as pleased to see her as usual when she entered his study. Wanting to cheer him up, she walked over and hugged him tightly, gazing up at him with concern in her eyes. "Do you still have a hangover from

"A little, my head hurts," He chuckled in response, knowing that it was indeed true. Last night's conversation with his friends had been so engrossing that he lost track of how much alcohol he had consumed. But it wasn't just the drinks that were responsible for his headache, it was the contents of the letter he had just read: His mother's elegant handwriting spelled out the details of how the mating during the full moon could affect the luna of the cursed Alpha King, and it made his heart twist with worry and fear for his mate's fate. "I knew you would lie," Helga said, causing Siegren to look at her with a surprised expression. She released her grip on him and stepped back, visibly disappointed. Despite taking a deep breath to calm herself, she knew it would be impossible to have a conversation with him w without tit t turning into an argument.

"What's wrong? What makes you think I'm lying?" He reached out to take Helga's hand, but she quickly moved away from him, making him stunned.

She glanced at his pocket, already aware of what he had shoved inside. However, she wanted to see if her husband would be truthful or not as she asked, "What was that thing you just stuffed into your pocket?"

"It's nothing-"Sjegren fell silent as he noticed the intense stare Helga was giving him. He immediately understood that she was testing him. "Did you know about the paper?"

"Why wouldn't I know? Didn't the butler tell you that I was the one who found it?" she asked, her voice tense with suppressed anger, her fist clenched tightly at her side. She had gone into the library earlier, searching for a particular book, when she noticed a small slip of paper stuck on one of the shelves. It was neatly folded and caught her curiosity, prompting her to unravel its contents. As her eyes scanned the words written on it, her expression shifted from curiosity to shock. She realized Chapter 95

that

must be the very paper Siegren had been searching for. Bushe wondered why it was stuck there.

Despite her doubts, she handed the paper to the butler and instructed him to deliver it to the Alpha King, wanting to see if her husband would keep the information inside the paper secretior share it with her. And just as she expected, he would not.

"Y-You read the note?" Siegren stammered as he processed what Helga just told him.

I do. And what are you going to do? Are you going to moon was shortening my lifespan?"

Siegren couldn't help but flinch, feeling a surge of guilt wash over him because that's exactly what he was planning to do as soon as he read his mother's note saying that, in exchange for helping the curse Alpha King suppress their urge to kill by mating with their mate-the she-wolf's life span would be to shorten. It was the reason why Alpha Kings lived longer than their queens. His mother also shared that her own health was alreatly fragile during her pregnancy with Sierra and that there was a possibility of her passing away after giving birth. The weight of the knowledge pressed down on Siegren's heart, filling him with a deep sense of dread. He couldn't shake the fear that Helga would suffer the same fate as his mother-a tragic and untimely death. As a result, he couldn't help but consider distancing himself from her, or even worse, rejecting her altogether. The mere thought of Helga suffering because of him made his heart ache with guilt and regret. In that moment, he would have rather seen her run away than risk losing her to the same tragic destiny that befell his mother. "What do you want me to do?" His voice trembled with intense emotion, causing his throat to constrict as he asked the question. "Do you want me to keep mating with you, even though I am fully aware that it is draining the life out of you?!" Helgaf

a felt her heart break at the pain in Siegren's voice. She could see how torn he was, and it only made her love for him grow even more. She reached out to take his hand, giving it a gente squeeze as she looked into his eyes. "Siegren, I don't regret anything that we have done," she said sofily. "Even if it means my life will be shorter, I will still choose to be with you."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Siegren let out a shaky breath as her words washed over him. He couldn't believe how selfless and understanding Helga was in this situation. Despite the risk to her own life, she still wanted to be with him. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, making him question he even deserved someone like her. However, no matter how much she was willing to sacrifice for him, he wouldn't allow it, not when her life was at stake.

appreciate how much you love me, but I'd rather see you go back to Ezra than keep you here," Siegren responded quietly, trying his best to soften the coldness and harshness in his words, But Helga took them like a sharp slap to her heart, her eyes welling up with tears as her body tensed up in response. "Do you mean that?" she asked, her voice trembling as she struggled to continue their conversation without breaking down. into uncontrollable sobs. She knew he didn't mean the words he said, but he would say anything to protect her. It was a continuous cycle and scenarios that she knew all too well. Despite understanding his motives, Helga couldn't help feeling angry at his tendency to make decisions without consulting her or working together to find a solution. It hurt her deeply that he would choose to push her away, leaving her feeling lonely and abandoned rather than trying his best to keep and protect her by his side. "Answer me, do you mean that?" With tears shining in the corners of her eyes, she repeated her question, causing Siegren's heart to shatter into a million pieces. He could see the pain and struggle she was trying to contain within herself, and it tore at his very soul. A lump formed in his throat as he struggled to find the right words to ease her pain.

"No," he replied, his voice choking as tears stung his eyes, "I can't even imagine living without you, but Helga..."

He stepped closer to her, cupping her face with one of his hands as he stared deeply into her eyes. Tears started pooling in

"I can't continue having you when I know I was causing you harm. You don't deserve that-

"Get a hold of yourself, please! Stop thinking about that for a moment!" Helga slapped away his hand, "Do you not understand why I am behaving this way? Just last night, we were talking about communicating and your habit of distancin yourself just to protect others. Honestly! Is that the only solution you can think of?!" "You were already in a search for the warlock who could potentially break your curse." she added, wiping away the tears th were streaming down her cheeks. "There was a way to resolve things, but you always choose to push me away and cause r pain. Do you think my heart was made of understand and forgive you despite making me fe shit every time you do this?!"

"I will I give you some time to think this through, knowing that Siegren was also hurting, but Helga refused to let him shut her out or push her awa She had to make him see that this destructive behavior was hurting them both more than any words ever could. If only could sit down and talk things out peacefully, they could find a solution together, but that seemed impossible right now because they were both emotional.

"If your decision to push me away all over again is truly your choice, then I'll respect that, but mate with me tonight. I wanted to at least help you one last time... After that, you can reject and divorce me. Whatever you think is best for us." turned around, her heart aching as she caught sight of the tears streaming down Siegren's cheeks. Her lips pursed with unspoken words, hoping he would reach out and stop her from leaving, but he remained still and silent. As she made he way to the door, every step felt heavy and burdened with emotion, causing her to close her eyes and take a deep breath before saying the final piece that she hoped would make him choose the right decision.

"Once our mate bond is broken, I will immediately return to Incarnadine and marry Ezra because right now, I'm sure, wants me more than you want me." 12:43 Fri, Oct 18 ti
