Okay, I'm super not loving Helion after this stunt. Not that I loved him before. Or even liked him, really. BUT...no, dude. Not cool.

So. Velik has hit the end of his rope. He's been searching for his mate, hasn't found her, and the mating fever has pushed him to the point that he can't battle his beast much longer. So he reaches out and takes a mission that will ensure he dies in battle.

Naturally, the moment things are in place for that, he meets his special someone. Stefani (Adrian's twin and Vivian's daughter). THINGS HAPPEN (both of the sexy variety and stinging jellyfish variety, which sounds weird when put together, but just go with it) and Velik and Stefani end up separated. (And that's where Helion did something unconscionable and made the choice to keep both of them in the dark about what had been done and NO, DUDE. NOT COOL.)

Velik ends up shipping out on what amounts to a suicide mission while Stefani stays back on Earth. Thinking she's been abandoned. When she has two little nuggets nine months later, well, she can handle it. And so long to the guy who claimed she was his one and only and then walked away.

Eventually Velik figures out what happened, heads straight back to Earth, and finds out he's a dad now. Of course, Stefani has been dealing with some major abandonment issues over the last 15 months and she's not so quick to trust him when he tries to explain (HELION, YOU JERK!). Yeah, these two have more than a few bumps in the road to their HEA, but they get there. Eventually. (Helion's still a jerk.)
