The journey is long, and I drift in and out of sleep, my body too exhausted to stay alert. The truck shudders to a halt, jolting me awake. My body aches from hours of being confined in the cold, metal cage, the bars still burning faintly where they’ve grazed my skin.I brace myself, ready to fight, but the cage burns me when I try to push against it. The back of the truck creaks open, and pale moonlight filters in, casting sharp shadows across the cramped space.
“Celine,” a familiar voice whispers. My heart leaps as I see Dolton standing by the cage, his face shadowed in the dim light.
“Shh… I’ll get you out. Don’t run. There are too many people. Stay close, and I’ll guide you,” he says, his voice soft but urgent.
“Thank you,” I whisper, confusion clouding my mind as he unlocks the cage. The door swings open, and I jump out, collapsing into his arms. His warmth is a fleeting comfort, and I rest my head against his chest, feeling a glimmer of hope.
“No!” Chains suddenly snap around my wrists, yanking me back. My eyes dart up, and my heart sinks as Wes steps forward, a cold smirk on his face, as the mask of Dolton slips free. He tricked me, I honestly thought Dolton was here.
“Sorry, but we can’t have you fighting,” he says, his tone mocking. He’s not sorry. He used Dolton to trick me.
I thrash against the chains, but it’s futile. They drag me into a towering building of dark stone, its jagged edges and narrow windows giving it an ominous, fortress-like appearance.
“Get her in now!” someone shouts. Alex steps forward, and I'm shoved into a cage. The sound of the door slamming shut rings in my ears, and I press my back against the bars, wincing as they burn my skin.
“Don’t try to escape, Celine. It won’t work,” Alex says coolly before leaving. My heart pounds as I hear muffled voices outside, their tones brisk and commanding. Fear settles heavily in my chest.
Two men step forward, their faces obscured by masks, their muscular frames towering over me. Without a word, they grab the sides of the cage, their gloved hands moving effortlessly despite the cage’s weight. The metal groans as they lift it, carrying me out like cargo.
I press myself into the corner, my wrists still bound, trying to make myself invisible. The air outside is icy, biting against my exposed skin, and the cold seeps into my bones as they maneuver the cage onto a large, reinforced dolly.
Ahead looms the building—a darkness radiating from within it. The massive wooden doors creak open, revealing a dimly lit interior. Inside, the air is cold and stale, the halls dimly lit by flickering sconces. The space is cavernous, its high ceilings supported by thick beams of blackened wood. The scent of damp stone and decay clings to the air, making it hard to breathe.

Celine POV The men push the dolly through the doorway, the wheels rattling loudly against the uneven stone floor. The cage bounces slightly, and I wince as the movement sends sharp jolts through my body. My fingers clutch the cold metal bars for balance, but I quickly pull back as they sear my skin again.We move deeper into the building, passing rows of shadowy figures standing in silence. Their faces are hidden beneath cloaks or masks, but I feel their eyes on me, piercing and invasive. Whispers trail behind us, hushed and speculative, their words unintelligible but laced with anticipation.Ahead, a raised platform comes into view. A single spotlight illuminates it, the stark white light creating harsh contrasts against the dark surroundings. The platform is surrounded by tiers of seating, filled with figures cloaked in darkness. The atmosphere feels electric, charged with something I can’t quite name. The men roll the dolly to the base of the platform and lift the cage, grunting w

Celine POV24 Years OldThe walls of my cell have become both a torment and a twisted comfort. They are rough, cold stone, unyielding and lifeless. Compared to the places I’ve lived before, this is by far the worst. Even the tiniest bedrooms I once called home offered me something: warmth, a bed, even a small semblance of dignity. Here, there’s nothing but dirt and despair.The cell is devoid of any softness, just hard stone that leeches warmth from my body. There are no windows, only a crude hole in the brickwork covered with metal bars, allowing a weak, pale light to filter in. The air is damp and smells faintly of mildew and rot. Straw on the floor serves as both my bed and my blanket. The damp, prickly material is far from comforting, but it’s more than the prisoners here receive.I’ve had to adapt to this life, but I know I’ll never truly accept it. Before coming here, I thought Wes, Dolton, and Alex were monsters. But now, I can see the difference—they cared, even if they took my

Celine POV As I collapse onto the floor in the main hall of the packhouse, I can’t help but wonder: what was the point of all this? Why did they pay so much for me at the auction? I am nothing more than a cook, a cleaner, a body to be used at their whim. What do they gain from me that they couldn’t find in someone else?My mind lingers on Dolton. He never came for me, never rescued me. A part of me still wonders about him, about the life he might be living now. Deep down, though, I always knew his loyalty to his brothers would stop him. They were too close, bound by a bond that I could never compete with. I imagine him moving on quickly, finding another mate, forgetting me.The faint noise outside draws my attention. I stand quickly and move knowing that taking a break inside the packhouse is against rules. The sound of boots hitting the stone floor grows louder until the pack’s Luna appears, standing just behind Alpha Dale. She’s quiet, her face a mask of indifference, her shadow bar

Joseph POVFoolishness and desperation led me here. My need to save my mate blinded me to the obvious danger, and now I’m trapped. Whatever they shot me with severed my connection to my dragon. It locked away every piece of my being, leaving me feeling human—weak, vulnerable, and defenseless against the wolves who dragged me here.My father had warned me. He said venturing through Nomad Land, let alone into the werewolf kingdom, was irrational and suicidal. But I had no choice. My wife, Nischola, is dying, and the cure for her illness lies somewhere beyond our lands. I’d rather die trying to save her than watch her suffer.I’ve scoured the other kingdoms—Fae, vampires, bears, merfolk—everywhere. Each journey led to dead ends and false hope. Then, I was told that the cure resided within the werewolf world. Despite my father’s warnings, I ventured here. Now I see it for what it was. A trap, baited with my mate’s life.Within minutes of entering this pack land, my guards and I were overpo

Sebastian POVI knew it was a reckless decision, and I told Joseph, my only son that, not that he listened. Chasing a cure for his mate was noble, but he didn’t think about the cost. His actions didn’t just endanger himself—they jeopardized the safety of our entire flight, our royal family, and everything we’ve worked to protect.He left with too few guards, ignoring the very advice I would have given him if I’d known. Had he confided in me, I would have accompanied him, ensuring his safety and tempering his impulsiveness. But he didn’t. And now, I’ve had to leave the safety of our stronghold to find him, venturing into the hostile werewolf kingdom and worse—a rogue pack’s territory.The buildings here are crude, utilitarian structures made of weathered stone and wood, their sharp edges and darkened facades speaking of a place where survival is valued over comfort. The stench of dark magic clings to the air, heavy and suffocating, as if the very land is cursed. The guards at my side re

Celine POVThe pack’s grounds fade behind us, replaced by the quiet of the forest. I am cradled in King Sebastian’s arms as we move swiftly toward a small encampment nestled among the trees. The tents are simple but orderly, their canvas sides flapping softly in the cool night breeze. Torches flicker around the perimeter, casting golden light across the scene. The area feels strange, almost peaceful, though I remain on edge.He carries me into the largest tent, where a sturdy wooden table sits in the center, surrounded by medical supplies and neatly arranged tools. The space smells of herbs and something metallic, a clean sterility that puts me on edge. He places me carefully on the table, and the sensation of being elevated makes my stomach churn with unease.Sebastian’s sharp eyes assess me before turning to a woman who steps forward. She is tall and poised, her auburn hair tied into a neat bun. Her kind eyes meet mine, and she smiles gently.“Her wounds are infected,” Sebastian says

Sebastian POVThe weight in my chest is suffocating, an anger I can barely contain roiling within me. Helios, my dragon, is restless, roaring his rage at what these monsters have done to her. Every time she flinches, every bruise and scar on her fragile body makes him thrash inside me, demanding justice. He senses her wolf struggling beneath layers of suppression, clawing to be free, yet unable to break through.And then there’s the magic. It clings to her like a second skin, yet she fears it. It’s hers—part of her essence—and somehow, she’s completely unaware of it. How could she not know she’s more than just a werewolf?I never thought I’d find my mate. I had resigned myself to the idea that she didn’t exist, that the fates had overlooked me. Then she appeared, in the darkest, most wretched place imaginable. She’s broken, scarred inside and out, her trust shattered by years of abuse. I ache to know her, to hear her story, but I know better than to push.She clings to me now, tremblin

SebastianI wait, my chest tightening with each second, as I wonder if she’ll find the courage to tell me. Her silence feels heavy, weighted by memories she can’t escape. We sit in the small tent nestled within the dense forest, the creak of the wooden beams almost echoing her hesitation. Finally, her voice breaks through the stillness, soft but strained.“I was sixteen when my mum moved us,” she begins, her words halting as if she’s testing the waters of her own resolve. “Her new partner had said we could stay with him.”Her gaze drops to the floor, avoiding mine. Her vulnerability feels raw, and I tread carefully. “Did you have your wolf then?” I ask, my voice quiet but curious. If she was still with her mother, maybe something had stifled the connection with her wolf.She shakes her head, her voice now barely a whisper. “No, I couldn’t feel my wolf. The day we arrived... the brothers spoke to me. They said I was their mate and kissed me.” Her body tenses, and the words come out quie

His soft golden hair tickles my chin as he peers eagerly around the room, blue eyes wide with excitement. Aurora streaks past, her small dragon form shimmering in hues of violet and silver, scales glinting under the soft lights as she darts playfully around us.Celine laughs softly as she watches Aurora, her eyes filled with warmth.

Orphaned Queen Goddess Baby
Sebastian’s POVThree months laterI’m flying as fast as I can, the wind cutting sharp against my scales.I left the kingdom earlier to meet Aarmon and collect two feeders for Celine. Her pregnancy has made her need blood more frequently, and I have no idea how she will be after the baby is born. I planned to return days ago, but Aarmon ran into issues with the vampires, delaying everything. Now I’m rushing back, and the only thing I know is that Celine has gone into labor.I abandoned the cars hours ago, there wasn’t time to waste. The soldiers will ensure the feeders arrive safely. Right now, the only thing that matters is getting to her.Helios pushes forward, impatient, and I don’t stop him. He’s always faster than me in the air, and this time, I need that speed.

Orphaned Queen Goddess Celebration
Celine’s POVThe grand hall of the Dragon Kingdom is alive with celebration, the golden glow of torches casting flickering light over the towering stone walls. It’s strange how quickly everything has settled, how the chaos of battle has faded into something almost distant, like a dream that we all woke up from. The weight of it still lingers, of course, but tonight is not about that. Tonight is about the fact that we are here. Alive. Stronger than before.The past week has been a blur, filled with moments of reflection and change. Somehow when Helios takes control, I can hear Sebastian in my mind. It's strange but nice. Jonathan has embraced both sides of himself more than ever, his fae and merfolk magic flowing together like they were always meant to be one. Dolton has grown quieter, more thoughtful, as if the shadows that once burst from him still whisper at the edge of his mind, not in a bad way though. Leif is adjusting, still finding his place among us
Orphaned Queen Goddess Home
Sebastian POVThe cars come to a stop, and I glance out the window, relief flooding through me at the sight of home.Dolton nudges my arm with a playful grin. “You should fly up with Celine. It’ll be quicker than waiting in the cars.”I shake my head firmly. “No, we should all arrive together.”Dolton’s smirk widens, mischief clear in his eyes. “Alright, then how about Helios takes her up instead? I’m sure he’d love to stretch his wings.”I roll my eyes. “How is that any different?”Dolton shrugs, chuckling softly. “You said you missed home. I’d bet Helios does too—this is his kingdom after all. Maybe he deserves to arrive first.”Before I can respond, Helios takes Dolton’s suggestion as permission, surging forward eagerly and pushing my consciousness to the back. My body shifts abruptly in the car, a wave of laughter erupting from bo
Orphaned Queen Goddess Something Simple
Dolton POVWe’re sitting in a clearing, resting before continuing our journey back to the Dragon Kingdom. The weight I’ve carried since the battle finally feels lighter as laughter fills the air. Around me, faces are relaxed for the first time in what feels like forever. Sebastian sits close to Celine, his arm protectively around her as people continue to celebrate her pregnancy, teasing him about becoming a father. Their smiles are contagious, and I find myself genuinely laughing alongside them.Yet even as I laugh, Julius remains uneasy, pacing restlessly inside my mind. I try to push the unease away, but it’s difficult when Julius is this restless. I glance over to Leif, sitting quietly, staring off into the trees. There’s still so much I don’t know about him, so much he probably doesn’t even know about himself.Leaning closer, I nudge his shoulder gently. “You okay?”Leif blinks, pulled from his thoughts
Orphaned Queen Goddess Seeking Answers
Jonathan POVI sit alone in the quiet car, the journals spread across my lap. My fingers flip through the pages slowly, frustration building with every page turn. I’d told the others I needed silence to focus, but the truth is, I just didn’t want them to see how much this is getting to me.I’m trying to find answers for Dolton, something that can explain what’s happening to him, but each page I read feels emptier than the last. My heart thuds with a heavy anxiety as I rub my temples.There’s almost nothing here about Lycans. The few mentions I’ve found are vague or useless, and there’s not a single line about the Shadow of the Moon or why there can suddenly be two Lycans. It’s as if the writers deliberately avoided the topic, which only makes me feel more unsettled.I lean my head back against the seat, taking a slow breath, and close my eyes. Dolton deserves answers, he’s struggling with something non
Orphaned Queen Goddess Returning
Sebastian POVWe left the Werewolf Kingdom first thing in the morning. I want to get home. I’ve spent far too long away from my kingdom; Helios is restless, and so am I.It’ll take about three days to get back, but since it’s only our group traveling, all my men can drive, which means we won’t be slowed down by walking. Dolton chose to ride in another car with Leif, wanting to spend some time speaking with him alone. Jonathan opted to ride separately, claiming he needed quiet to focus on reading through the journals.I understand why Jonathan turns to the journals for answers, but even I doubt they can solve everything. I know he’s hoping to find something—anything—to help Dolton. Finding out Leif is directly connected to him, even in death, must be overwhelming, especially when severing their bond might risk both their lives.Still, despite the circumstances, I welcome the chance to spend time alone with Celine.
Orphaned Queen Goddess Secrets
Celine POVI watch Dolton carefully. He wouldn’t have turned bad, I know it. He wasn’t alone, he had me, Sebastian, and Jonathan. We wouldn’t have let him become something evil.Stepping closer, I gently slip my hand into Dolton’s, trying to calm him. He turns slightly, offering me a faint smile, but the worry in his eyes is unmistakable. He shouldn’t be worried; he has us.“You once mentioned feeling like part of you was missing, like something wasn’t fully there,” his father says from behind the bars, his gaze unwavering. “Do you remember when that began, Dolton?”“No, I don’t,” Dolton snaps sharply.From the other cell, Wes chuckles darkly. “It started when Leif was born. Come on, Dolton, catch up.”Turning sharply, I glare at Wes, and the twisted, evil man mockingly blows me a kiss. My stomach churns with disgust.“Leif is part of you,&
