Celine POV

King Thorne breaks the silence, his voice deep and resonant. “State your case.”

Sebastian steps forward, his shoulders squared and voice steady. “Your Majesties, my son, Prince Joseph, has found his mate—a werewolf who is now carrying his child. However, she has fallen gravely ill, and we have discovered that her condition is not a natural one. She has been cursed using these flowers.” He gestures toward the shimmering blooms on the table, his words heavy with the weight of truth.

Queen Nymia’s sharp gaze fixes on Sebastian, her tone calm yet laced with steel. “And who would cast such a curse upon the Princess? What motive lies behind this cruelty?”

Sebastian’s expression hardens. “Her own mother.” The words hang in the air like a thunderclap. “She sought to end the bloodline. The curse was designed to kill her daughter if she ever became pregnant, ensuring that neither she nor her child would survive.”

A ripple of murmurs spreads among the council members, their usually st

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Waiting

    Celine POVThe tension in the chamber feels almost suffocating, the atmosphere thick with the gravity of what’s at stake. Queen Nymia’s sharp gaze lingers on me, her eyes searching for something beneath the surface. She finally leans back in her ornately carved chair, her wings shifting slightly as she considers our request, her expression as unreadable as stone. King Thorne sits beside her, his face drawn in a mask of solemnity, the lines around his eyes deepening with every second of silence that stretches between us.“It is clear that the situation you present is urgent,” Queen Nymia begins, her tone deliberate and steady, though it carries the weight of uncertainty. “But we cannot ignore the broader implications of granting you the flower. The curse that afflicts this werewolf princess—this sickness of madness—has the potential to ripple far beyond what you seek to cure. If the madness spreads, unchecked and unbroken, it could bring devastation to countless innocents. Should we pr

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Trying To Convince

    Celine POVQueen Nymia sits poised, her expression a mask of calm, but I can see the flicker of thought in her shimmering eyes. King Thorne leans forward slightly, his fingers steepled as he listens to the low murmurs of the council. They speak softly, their words almost inaudible, but the atmosphere is charged with their unspoken fears and what-ifs.Joseph remains kneeling, his shoulders hunched under the burden of his desperation. His golden eyes, filled with unshed tears, dart between the council and me, silently begging for salvation. Dolton stands at my side, his hand resting lightly on my back, grounding me, his quiet strength seeping into my trembling frame. Sebastian, as ever, is calm and composed, though the set of his jaw betrays his impatience.“I’ve never heard them deliberate this long,” Dolton murmurs beside me, his voice low, meant only for me. “They’re taking this seriously. That’s a good sign.”I nod, though I can’t shake the sinking weight in my chest. It’s not just

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Agreed

    Celine POVThe stillness stretches on, each second heavier than the last, until finally, she nods—a slow, deliberate motion that feels like a judgment passed.“Very well,” she says, her tone regal and firm, yet tinged with reluctant acceptance. “We said we would grant you the flower, and we will but heed this, Celine—the weight of this decision is yours to bear. If you succeed, you will have our eternal gratitude. But if you fail, know that the lives lost and the chaos wrought will rest squarely on your shoulders. The blood of the innocent will stain your hands if the madness is not broken.”Her words land like a physical blow, cutting deep, but I hold my ground. My chin lifts, and I nod, meeting her challenge with steadfast determination. “I accept that responsibility,” I reply, my voice firm. “I will not fail.”Queen Nymia inclines her head, a gesture of acknowledgment tinged with finality, and motions to a fae attendant standing near the altar. The attendant, clad in flowing robes

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Uneasy

    Sebastian’s POVThere’s a shift between us, subtle but undeniable, and it gnaws at me. Celine is drifting further from me and closer to Dolton. On the surface, it feels like there’s no reason for it, but deep down, I know better. There is a reason—it’s me.Lately, I’ve been buried under the mountain of evidence we’ve gathered against the werewolf king. I’ve spent hours pouring over the details, dissecting every word, every scrap of information, trying to piece together a strategy. Meanwhile, Celine and Dolton have had all the time in the world to reconnect. I told myself I was giving her space to be with him, knowing how much she missed him. She spoke of him often before he joined us, and I could see the longing in her eyes whenever his name came up. So, I stepped back. I thought I was doing the right thing.But now, I fear I’ve pushed myself to the periphery of her world. I’m there at night—when we’re together—but even then, it’s not the same. Dolton is there too, and it doesn’t feel

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   A Date

    Sebastian POVI feel like a teenager again, fumbling through the unfamiliar terrain of being with someone I care about. Celine leads me through the Fae Kingdom, her hand warm in mine, her steps light and carefree. The vibrant bustle of the marketplace surrounds us—the air filled with the scent of sweet blossoms, the hum of laughter, and the soft glow of bioluminescent plants. We stop at a small food truck tucked into a corner of the market, its modest appearance at odds with the grandeur of the kingdom around us.I watch as Celine chats animatedly with the vendor, her voice light and cheerful as she orders us burgers. It’s not the kind of food I’d normally go for—my meals are usually plated with a precision worthy of their exorbitant price tags—but there’s something refreshing about this. Something human.She hands me a burger, grinning, and we begin walking. The uneven cobblestone streets guide us past stalls overflowing with wares both mundane and magical. As we eat, she talks, her

    Sebastian’s POVWe arrive back at the hotel, and I immediately notice Dolton’s absence. The guards at the door mention that he went out for a walk, which gives us time alone. My eyes instinctively drift toward the stack of files on the desk. The King in me itches to dive back into them, to continue piecing together the puzzle of the werewolf king’s crimes. But tonight, I push that impulse aside. It’s not the files or the investigation that needs my attention—it’s Celine.As I step into the living area, I see her curled up on the sofa, scrolling through movie options with a relaxed air. The glow of the screen lights her face, highlighting the soft, delicate features I’ve memorised but rarely take the time to fully appreciate. Her movements are unhurried, her body language serene, and for a moment, I simply stand there, taking her in.She looks up at me, her lips curving into a small, curious smile. I know she’s wondering what’s on my mind, why I’m standing there like a statue instead o

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Her Plea

    Sebastian POVAs we sit there together, I realise that this is what I’ve been missing. Not the grand gestures or the fiery passion—though those are important too—but the quiet moments. The stolen minutes where the world fades away, and it’s just us. Moments where I can let down my guard, not as a King or a protector, but as a man who loves her more than anything.She catches me watching her, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. I know I must look ridiculous, staring at her instead of the screen, but I can’t help it. There’s something about these quiet moments that feels more real, more precious, than anything else. It’s as if I’m seeing her for the first time, noticing every detail I’ve overlooked in my endless quest to protect and lead.She isn’t doing anything extraordinary—just watching a movie beside me. But for me, it’s everything. It’s the way her chest rises and falls with each breath, the slight adjustments she makes to get more comfortable, the way she sighs soft

    Celine’s POVI’m still pressed against Sebastian’s chest when the door creaks open, and Dolton steps inside, his movements quiet but urgent.“The Fae’s Royal Guard is here,” he whispers, his voice strained, eyes darting back to the door as though expecting someone to burst through at any moment.Sebastian’s relaxed demeanor vanishes in an instant, replaced by the commanding presence of a King. He straightens, his tone sharp and composed. “Did they say why?”Dolton’s voice is barely above a whisper. “For Celine. Queen Nymia has requested her presence for supper and a discussion.” His gaze flicks to me, his concern evident in the tight line of his mouth.Sebastian and I exchange a glance, and we both move swiftly to get dressed, the urgency in the room palpable.Once we’re ready, Sebastian opens the door, revealing two Fae guards waiting just beyond. Their faces are unreadable, their postures straight and formal.“Queen Nymia has requested that Celine join her for supper,” one of the gu

    Sebastian POVKing Thorne is the first to speak, his sharp Fae eyes flicking over each of us before settling on me. “You’re finally ready.”Celine steps forward, her voice steady. “We attack before first light.”Ulrich grunts, cracking his knuckles. “Good. We’ve been waiting.”Sereia’s silver eyes flick toward the map laid across the war table, the markers indicating the enemy stronghold, where the witches, the exiled, and the kidnapped children are being held. “Scouts have confirmed the layout. The children are in the lower chambers, heavily guarded.”Aarmon chuckles darkly. “Of course they are. They know we’re coming for them.”I step up to the table, my claws scraping lightly against the wood as I look at the map. “Then we go in fast. No drawn-out fight. We take the children first, eliminate resistance, and burn the rest to the ground.”Dolton’s growl rumbles low in his chest. “No survivors.”Celine’s golden eyes narrow. “None.”A heavy silence settles over the room, the weight of

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Taking Back Control

    Sebastian’s POVHelios is still in control.I can feel him, his raw need, his possessiveness, his complete refusal to loosen his grip on Celine. It isn’t just instinct driving him now. It’s something deeper, something stronger.I had let him take control. I had given him the power willingly, but something happened.Something shifted, and now I can’t take it back.My mind pushes, clawing against the barrier keeping me locked away while Helios holds her, while he moves inside her, while he claims her again and again. He is lost in her, drunk on her, and I know this isn’t just about pleasure.It’s obsession.He missed her. He has waited too long to have her, to feel her wrapped around us, and now that he has her, he doesn’t want to let go. Even now that he's finished, he's still holding her.I grit my teeth, fighting against the wall that shouldn’t be here. I should be able to take control whenever I want, should be able to force him back. But this time, something is different.This time

Every thrust pushes me further into the Helios grip, forcing me to feel both of them taking me together.“Fuck,” Julius growls, his voice strained as he pulls back and thrusts in again. “She’s squeezing both of us so damn tight.”Helios groans, his tail coiling tighter, his golden eyes locked onto mine. “She was made for this,” he mutters, his thrusts slow, deliberate, making sure I feel the fullness of them inside me. “Made for us.”Jonathan’s hands slide over my stomach, his breath warm against my ear. He hasn’t moved in yet, but his touch sends shivers through me, his fingers teasing, stroking, adding to the overwhelming sensation consuming me. “She’s already trembling,” he murmurs, his lips brushing my shoulder. "She can take more though."Helios growls, but it’s softer this time, less of a challenge and more of an acknowledgment. His golde

His body is hot, burning against me, his scales rough where they meet my skin, but I welcome the intensity, the overwhelming force of his need.Julius snarls behind us, but Helios doesn’t care. He never does. He’s obsessed, feral, and he’ll always have me first.His tail wraps around my leg, pulling me closer, his grip tightening as he positions me exactly how he wants. “You’re mine,” he growls again, and then he thrusts into me, forcing a sharp cry from my lips as he stretches me, fills me, and claims me.Jonathan and Julius growl, their own need growing, but Helios doesn’t rush. He takes his time, dragging his tongue along my throat, his claws gripping my hips as he moves, slow at first, but quickly

    Celine POVThe taste of blood still lingers on my tongue, thick and metallic, but my body feels stronger. The gnawing hunger that had dulled my senses is gone, replaced by a steady warmth spreading through my limbs. I hate needing this, but I can’t deny the difference it makes.Walking, Sebastian stays beside me as we return to the war room, his gaze flicking toward me every so often like he is assessing my strength. He doesn’t say anything, but I can feel the satisfaction rolling off him. He knows I needed that.Aarmon steps ahead, pushing open the doors. The room is quieter than before, the tension eased slightly as plates of food have been brought in. The gathered rulers and generals are eating, drinking, taking what little time they have before the mission begins.Leaning back in his chair, Jonathan smiles, a piece of bread in his hand, smirking as he sees me. “You look less like you’re about to fall over.”I sigh, sitting down beside him as Sebastian moves to his usual place. “I

    Sebastian POVThe moment I step out of the room, the weight of command settles back onto my shoulders. The warmth of Celine’s body, the way she melted between us, the way she whispered my name in the dark, all of it fades into the background.Now, there is only war.I move through the halls with purpose, my mind already cataloging everything that needs to be done. The fortress is alive with movement, warriors gearing up, leaders gathering, the tension thick in the air. This is not like past battles. This is the beginning of something far greater.Jonathan and Dolton fall into step beside me, both of them shifting back into the roles they were born for. Jonathan’s sharp mind, Dolton’s brute force. We do not need to speak. We all know what needs to be done.I push open the doors to the war chamber where the supernatural rulers are already waiting. The map of the Shadowlands is spread across the table, marked with points of interest, potential enemy strongholds, and scouting routes.King

    Celine POVI watch as Sebastian’s fingers tighten on my thighs as he parts them wider, his golden eyes burning with hunger. Behind me, Dolton grips my waist, his chest flush against my back, his breath hot against my ear. There’s no hesitation between them, no moment of pause. They know exactly what they want.Slowly, Jonathan strokes a hand down my stomach, his lips trailing kisses across my shoulder before he bites down just enough to make my body jolt. “We’re done teasing,” he murmurs, his breath warm against my skin.Dolton groans, his grip on my waist tightening as he presses me back against him, his body already hard, already demanding. “Then let’s take her properly.”Smirking, Sebastian's hands glide lower as he positions himself between my legs. “She’s more than ready for us.”I barely have time to catch my breath before he pushes inside, stretching me, filling me. A sharp gasp escapes me as pleasure crashes through me, my body already sensitive from their mouths, from the way

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Together

    Celine POVSebastian leads me away from the war room, his hand warm against mine as we step into the quieter halls of the fortress. Jonathan and Dolton follow closely behind, their presence a steady weight against the chaos waiting for us outside these walls. For the first time since everything started, it’s just us.Sebastian doesn’t speak as he guides me deeper into the fortress. The walls shift from the grandeur of the council chambers to something older, something untouched by battle. The door he pushes open leads to a dimly lit chamber, warmed by the glow of a low fire. It’s quiet. Safe.I exhale slowly, my body finally relaxing, but my mind refuses to. The moment we step into the room, the tension shifts. The world outside is full of war, but in here, there is only heat, only them.Sebastian moves first, his hands gripping my waist as he tugs me toward him, his lips already on my throat. He knows exactly where to kiss, exactly where to press his tongue to make my breath hitch. H

    Celine POVJonathan’s expression darkens. “What did he say?”I hold my ground, the weight of the Werewolf King’s words pressing against my mind. He believes I am nothing more than a placeholder, a queen with no right to rule. Let him believe that. By the time this war is over, he will know just how wrong he is.Sebastian keeps a firm grip on my arms, his eyes sharp as he studies me. “What did you see?”Jonathan and Dolton move closer, their eyes dark with anticipation. Around us, the rulers of the supernatural world fall silent. Their private conversations, their skepticism, all of it fades as they wait for my answer.I lift my chin. “The Werewolf King sent me a message. He thinks this war is already won. He offered me a choice. Kneel, and he will spare the people I love.” I take a steady breath, forcing down the way the memory of the vision claws at the back of my mind. “He showed me a future where all of you were dead.”Dolton’s entire body tenses. “That bastard.”“He’s trying to sh
