His Assumption

Dolton POV

They’ve been quiet for the last hour, but as soon as I step forward, all eyes shift to me.

“Get the food cooking again,” I say. “I want it ready for when they return.”

Rellan, one of the older guards, lifts a brow. “You think they’ll be back soon?”

I rub the back of my neck, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on me. “I don’t know,” I admit, glancing toward the sky. “But when they do, they’ll need to eat. Make sure it’s done.”

Rellan nods and signals to the others. They move without hesitation, two of them feeding the fire while another checks the meat still skewered on the spit. The scent of charred wood and roasting food fills the air again, but it does nothing to ease the tight feeling in my chest.

Theron, standing just off to the side, exhales sharply. “Twelve hours is a long time,” he mutters, shifting his weight. His wings rustle against his back before folding neatly behind him. “Something doesn’t feel right.”

I grunt in agreement, running a hand over my jaw. “Yo

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Foolish Words

    Jonathan POVI didn’t mean what I said.The second the words left my mouth, I regretted them, but it was too late to take them back. It wasn’t about Dolton, not really. It was the mixture of everything. Celine and Sebastian being gone for too long, the silence stretching on, the journals failing to give me any answers, and my own fear twisting my thoughts into something cruel.But none of that matters now, Because I said it.He’s not willing to listen to me, and honestly, I don’t blame him. What I said wasn’t just thoughtless—it was wrong. He’s Celine’s mate, and nothing should change that. I should have never made him feel like he was at fault for accepting her. For staying by her side.I came into this after him. After Sebastian. If anything, I have the least claim to her.And yet, I was the one questioning him.Now, I watch as he holds Celine, his arms wrapped around her like he’s afraid she’ll disappear if he lets go. I see the way his body tenses and then finally relaxes, how he

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Explaining The Changes

    Jonathan POVDolton doesn’t let go of Celine.Sebastian exhales. “She woke up. But her body was already shutting down.”Shaking his head, Dolton swears. “Because of the blood.”Sebastian nods. “She needed it. But she refused to drink.”Turning sharply to Celine, Dolton's gaze burns. “You refused?"Celine shifts slightly, but her voice is steady when she answers. “I didn’t want to do it.”Sebastian scoffs. “She fought me on it. Even though her body was failing, even though she could barely sit up. She refused.”Dolton is fuming.“Eventually, she drank. And then—she passed out,” Sebastian explains.Silence.Dolton and I both stare at him.Sebastian exhales. “Her body reacted. But instead of it strengthening her immediately, it put her into another state. Elira said the blood changed something, but even she couldn’t tell me exactly what.”Dolton exhales sharply, his muscles flexing like he’s resisting the urge to tear something apart.“This isn’t normal,” he mutters. “None of this is nor

    Sebastian’s POVAfter eating, we pile into the cars and begin our journey to the elders. We’re already running late, but I can only hope they’ll understand the reason behind it.The tension in the car is suffocating. Dolton and Jonathan won’t even look at each other, and I can tell Celine senses the unease. She hasn’t said anything yet, her attention fixed on the journals, but with every passing minute, the tension inches closer to snapping.I get Dolton’s anger. I also get Jonathan’s frustration. He’s going to have questions, he’s going to analyze everything—because not considering every possibility is how you fail.I don’t like it either, but I understand Jonathan’s reasoning. He should have kept it to himself, but the truth is, there’s a chance Dolton was never meant to stay her mate. That doesn’t make it right, and it doesn’t mean it should

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   The Elders

    Celine POVThe moment I step forward, their gazes lock onto me, assessing, judging. The Elders—each one the embodiment of their species’ power—stand as a testament to the supernatural world’s balance. But that balance has shifted now that I am here.I let my eyes move over them, taking in every detail, feeling the weight of their magic pressing against my skin.The Fae Elder is a woman, her presence like the whisper of wind through ancient forests, her beauty sharp enough to cut. Her long silver hair cascades over her shoulders, and her skin glows faintly under the soft light filtering through the trees. Her eyes are liquid gold, shifting with hidden knowledge. Fae are amazing manipulators, dancers in the web of fate itself. If she does not respect me, she will twist my words into a trap before I even realize I’ve stepped into it.Beside her stands the Werewolf Elder, a man built like he was carved from stone. His powerful fr

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Unexpected Words

    Celine POVI keep my expression neutral, steady, even as the weight of their scrutiny presses down on me. Their words are calculated, their presence designed to unnerve, to challenge. I won’t let them see doubt, I won’t let them see anything but certainty.“So what do I need to do?” I ask, my voice steady. “What is required to prove I am the Queen Goddess?”The air around us shifts slightly, thickening with unspoken expectations. They don’t answer immediately, only watching me, waiting.“If shifting into my Panthermorph is what it takes, I’ll do it,” I continue, my gaze sweeping over them. “If that’s the proof you need, then I’ll shift right here and now.”The air shifts slightly, a ripple in the magic surrounding us. My words hold weight now. They know I am serious.Veyron, the dragon elder, lets out a low chuckle, the sound deep and rumblin

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Not Me

    Dolton POVI wake with a sharp gasp, my body jerking upright as cold, damp stone presses against my palms. My head throbs, the world tilting slightly as I force my breath to steady. A thick fog rolls through the streets around me, heavy and unnatural, curling against my skin like unseen hands. The buildings lining the narrow road are warped with age, their windows shattered, doors hanging from their hinges as if they were abandoned in a hurry.The silence is suffocating.I push to my feet, my muscles aching, my body sluggish like I’ve been asleep for too long. Something isn’t right. I try to reach for my senses, to let my wolf guide me through the unease, but the moment I reach inward, I’m met with a terrifying nothingness.I can’t feel him. My wolf—gone.A sickening rush of panic claws through my chest, and I inhale sharply, trying again, digging deeper, but there’s no trace of him. No pull of instinct, no sharp

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   No Helios

    Sebastian POVI wake to the scent of fire and blood.The air is thick with it, hot against my skin, clinging to my clothes as I push myself up from the dry, cracked earth beneath me. My head throbs, a dull, pulsing ache that makes it hard to focus. I inhale deeply, expecting to feel the fire of my dragon’s breath in my lungs, the power of my shift just beneath the surface, waiting to be called upon.But there is nothing.The absence of my dragon is instant and suffocating. A hollow space where my power should be, where my instincts should guide me. I exhale slowly, reigning in the sharp spike of irritation that threatens to rise. Panic is for those who don't know how to command themselves.I force myself to my feet, brushing dust from my clothes as I scan my surroundings. The sky above is a vast black void, no stars, no moon, just emptiness stretching endlessly. The landscape around me is barren, littered with jagged bones that rise from the

    Jonathan POVI wake with the taste of blood in my mouth.The air is thick, humid, pressing down on my skin like a weight I can’t shake off. My body aches, my limbs sluggish as I push myself up from the damp, uneven ground beneath me. My head throbs, and for a moment, I can’t focus, my vision swims as I try to make sense of where I am.Something is wrong.I inhale deeply, expecting the rush of awareness, the sharpness of my fae senses snapping into place, but instead—nothing. No magic. No connection to the energy that has always been a part of me. The absence of it is suffocating, a hollow space where power should be. My fingers dig into the wet soil, frustration curling in my chest. No. This isn’t right.The last thing I remember is the trial. The elders. Being separated from Celine.Celine. The thought slams into me like a blade. I reach for the bond—expecting to feel even the faintest trace of

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Forever

    Helios’s POVI carefully take Clara from Dolton, cradling her against my chest as if she’s the most precious treasure I’ve ever held, and she is. Her delicate warmth radiates into me, a fragile yet unwavering presence in my arms, melting through the lingering hardness that once defined who I was. Her steady, peaceful breathing calms something deep inside me, quieting the restless beast I had always been.As I study her tiny face, with soft cheeks and a delicate nose, the innocence reflected there stirs something unfamiliar in my chest, a fierce protectiveness unlike anything I have ever known. The heart that once burned with obsession, possessiveness, and dominance now fills with a different kind of fire, pure and gentle. It’s startling yet comforting, reshaping who I am from the core outward.Instinctively, almost without thinking, I begin to hum softly, a melody from a lifetime ago, one I barely remember, yet somehow feels right to shar

    6 Years LaterJonathan POV“Caleb, hold still,” I murmur, tightening my grip gently around my three-year-old son, who wriggles impatiently in my arms. 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. Sebastian stands near her, arms crossed over his chest, a proud smile on his face. Beside them, Dolton cradles his newborn daughter, Clara, just a week old, her tiny features serene as she sleeps peacefully against his chest.The room is alive with happiness, joy bouncing off the walls as we prepare for the celebration. I find myself smiling, my heart swelling. It wasn’t so long ago that I thought I’d lost everything. But here, surrounded by these people,

  • 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. He focuses, his instincts sharper, his wings slicing through the sky with powerful strokes. At least this way, if we’re late,

  • 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,&
