Orphaned Queen Goddess

Celine POV16th BirthdayMy mother drags me, and I try to keep up but fail."Mum!" I cry and try to pull free."Hurry up, Celine!" She growls, and her hand shifts into a paw."I don't have a wolf!" I cry and try to be quicker and keep up, but I fail and fall. She growls and drags me up from the floor. I'm not sure why she hates me right now. She knows I have no wolf, so moving as quickly as her is impossible.We reach the door, and it opens. The man peers at me momentarily before pulling my mother into a hug."I missed you," he whispers and kisses her. "Come in. We will introduce her to the boys," he says before stepping back and giving us space to enter. My mother drags me forward, and I almost fall, using my hand to steady myself."Celine, I'm Richard." The man shakes my hand, and I get flashes of images of him and my mother together in bed. I try to pull away, disturbed by what he is thinking."Hi," I whisper, finally freeing my hand from his grip."These are my sons. Wes, Dolton,

Celine POVDolton stays close to me. My hands stay wrapped around his neck as I peer up at him. I want to tell him I will see him and work out a way to see him every day, but it isn't possible. He knows that, and from what his brothers have said, there's no way we can be together.His fingers thread through my hair, pulling my head back so he can reach my neck. His lips move across it, and I feel someone behind me. Their hands pull quickly against the fabric of my dress, ripping it from my body and falling to the floor.I feel like crying. I got into that routine of fighting them and refusing them. Now, though, I wish I could go back and fully embrace every moment with them, as I'm not sure if I'll have any other moments like this in the future.As his mouth reaches my collarbone, I whimper slightly, feeling Wes behind me. His hand grips the back of my neck, and I find myself pinned between him and Dolton.Every touch seems to be more intense, and it's like my body knows that after to

Celine POVI watch as Richard rushes in and pulls Dolton back. Wes and Alex hold him."You told her!" Richard shouts. Wait, it's true? Richard walks to me and grips my head. It's true; I have a wolf. I fight to feel it, but it's hard. I've never had a wolf, or I didn't think I had."No! Don't make her forget," Dolton thrashes in their hold. I feel a hazy feeling spread through me, and suddenly, it feels like my head is in a vice. I scream, my legs buckling from beneath me. Richard's grasp on my head holds up my body; otherwise, I would be on the floor."Remember Celine! You're the Queen Goddess," Dolton screams, and I watch him fight against his brothers. They tackle him to the floor and silence him."Say goodbye," Richard shouts and turns to look at Dolton. "Or you don't get to.""I'll follow and find you, Celine!" Dolton shouts."Lock him in the cells. He isn't to be released until she's sold and gone!" Richard shouts. Dolton screams louder and fights, begging them not to.The sound

Celine POVThe shouting has me turn, and I see the Pack’s Luna walking in the shadow of Alpha Dale, her expression unreadable. I can't help but wonder about the identity of the man Beta Noah is dragging.“Throw him in a cell,” Alpha Dale calls out, his face a mask of rage. His eyes snap towards me, and I flinch back. He laughs slightly at my reaction. “Just putting the dirty demons where they belong. He deserves to rot in those cells for attacking me,” Alpha Dale laughs menacingly. “Move it, mutt!” He shouts, and I nod.I rush through the grounds and follow Beta Noah and the others back to the cells, but I don't go inside of them. I hide around the corner.I’m late feeding the prisoners, which means I’m late eating as well. Not that I can do much about that right now. I don’t want to go in while Beta Noah is in there, so I wait, hiding around the corner of the building until I see the Luna walk out. I stay here, waiting for him to leave. Ten minutes later, I hear the door and watch hi

Sebastian POVI knew it wasn't very smart, and I told Joseph so. He wants a cure, but at what expense? He's putting not only himself in danger but also the entire flight and royal family. As King, I'm not meant to leave the Dragon Kingdom for long periods of time. I'm forced to now, as there's no way I am leaving my son to die.Joseph shouldn't have left with so few guards. Had he made me aware he had no thoughts of leaving it alone, I would have gone with him and ensured his safety.He didn't, though, and now I'm forced to leave the safety of our home to find him in the werewolf kingdom and, worse, a rogue pack. I look at the guards. It's late now. I hope that means the prisoners have little betas watching them wherever they are kept. It means I can get in, grab him and get out.I round the buildings with the soldiers and try to focus on his scent and our connection, but I can't. Something more substantial drives my senses, and I feel urged to follow it and find who it belongs to.Op
