His Secrets

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-23 18:00:58

Celine POV

The warmth of his human skin disappears, replaced by scales hotter than fire, his massive form easily cradling me against his chest. The sky above shifts, darkening slightly at his presence, but I don’t look up.

I look at him. Helios.

His golden eyes burn as they lock onto me, the intensity of his stare making my breath catch. His massive claws tighten around me, pressing me closer, as if now that he has me, he’ll never let go.

“Mine.”

The possessive snarl doesn’t come aloud, it rumbles through his chest, through me, vibrating deep inside my bones.

I keep my arms wrapped around him, letting my fingers stroke over his scales, feeling the ridges and grooves of his powerful form. “I told Sebastian to let you take over for a bit,” I murmur, watching as his golden eyes narrow slightly.

Another growl, deep and rumbling, not quite satisfied. “I don’t want a bit,” Helios f

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   My Actions

    CelineI stare at him, the weight of his words settling into my chest, pressing down like an uncomfortable truth I can’t ignore.He’s right. I never thought about what happens after. Never thought about whether Helios would want those moments with me, the ones I give to Sebastian without hesitation.Because in my mind, he was Sebastian, or at least, that’s what I told myself, but now, looking back, I see the mistake. I assumed.I assumed that because I gave those moments to Sebastian, it was enough. That Helios would be satisfied knowing I stayed in Sebastian’s arms, even if it wasn’t him I was holding. But that was wrong.Helios isn’t just some extension of Sebastian’s consciousness. He may be Sebastian’s dragon, but he’s also his own being. He's also Sebastian, so to give him part when he's in control is wrong.I never thought to give him the same love I so easily give to his other half

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   His Control

    Dolton’s POVI walk beside Jonathan, listening as he explains the issues Sebastian is facing. The way he talks about it, it’s clear he doesn’t fully understand it.And how could he? Merfolk and Fae aren’t like wolves, bears, or dragons. Their shifts are seamless, natural, without conflict. Their forms don’t hold a separate consciousness, no other voice fighting for dominance.Glancing back, I see Helios carrying Celine. She’s asleep, and it’s obvious from the way he moves that it’s Helios, not Sebastian.“There should be a way to control his shifter,” Jonathan mutters.“This isn’t like with you. While Sebastian and Helios are the same person, they are also separate. Controlling a shifter isn’t easy, especially for someone like Sebastian who craves control and doesn’t like to give it up.”His gaze flickers to me. “You do it.”

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Unknown

    Jonathan’s POVI understand why Dolton keeps things hidden. He’s right. None of us truly know how powerful he is. No one has ever fully understood Lycans. They have no records, no history to explain what they are, only stories passed down through whispers.“You think that you’re normal?” Dolton asks, looking at me.“Am I not?” I ask. I’m so normal that I was a guard and a servant.“How many Fae do you know who lost their mate and survived?” He watches me closely.“I didn’t lose her, I rejected her, Dolton, which is why I survived.” If I had kept our bond when she died, I wouldn’t be here.Dolton shrugs. “Do you honestly think you rejected her fully? Fae are unable to reject their mates if they love them, so how did you, Jonathan?”The question catches me off guard.“I know a lot. While I grew up, I tried to lea

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Giving Him Time

    Sebastian’s POVLetting Helios keep control is unsettling. All he’s been doing is walking and carrying her, but I still feel like I’m missing out on something. Strangely, that’s exactly why I didn’t take back control.If I feel like this after only a short time, then I can only imagine how Helios felt every time I pushed him to the back of my mind and ignored his feelings. I’m not sure how long it’s been before I feel the shift. Helios slips back, and I’m pushed forward.Gaining control again, I instinctively tighten my hold on her.I can share.Helios’ voice growls in my mind.“Yeah, yeah, it’s me who can’t,” I mutter. That’s the truth. I can’t share. It’s not that I don’t feel what he does. I do. Everything Helios felt while holding her, I could feel too, but it was muted, not as strong or as intense. Which, I guess, is exactly what frustr

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   His Other Side

    Dolton’s POVJonathan walks beside me, his steps steady but his expression tight, like there’s something on his mind he hasn’t decided if he wants to say yet. I don’t push him. He’ll talk when he’s ready.After a few minutes, he exhales. “You were right.”I glance at him. “About what?”“My merfolk side,” he mutters, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’ve been hiding from it. Avoiding it.” His eyes flick toward the darkening horizon. “You called me out on it, and I can’t even argue. I’ve only shifted into it twice in years.”“Figured as much.”He huffs a short laugh. “You’re not gonna gloat?”“No point,” I shrug. “You already admitted it.”He rolls his eyes but doesn’t argue. After a few moments, he glances at me again. “There’s a l

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Talking

    Celine’s POVThe first thing I feel when I wake is warmth. Sebastian’s arms are wrapped around me, holding me securely against his chest. His steady breathing and the faint sound of his heartbeat fill my ears, a comforting rhythm that eases me into wakefulness.I shift slightly, tilting my head up to look at him. His golden eyes are already on me, watching, waiting.“Where’s Helios?” I ask softly.Sebastian exhales, his grip on me tightening just a little. “I let him keep control, he gave me it back, I didn't pus him out.”I blink up at him. “You didn't?”He nods, his gaze serious. “I didn't push him out, no. He’s right, I always take over after he’s claimed you.” His fingers trace absently along my spine. “It’s not fair to him.”I study his face, the way his jaw tightens slightly like the admission isn’t easy for him

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Not Expected

    Jonathan’s POVThe longer I stay in my merfolk form, the more I feel the magic flowing through me. It isn’t something separate from my fae magic, it’s woven into it, intertwined in a way I never realized before.I test it, moving the water, shifting its patterns, changing the way it flows. Simple things. Yet every time I do, it feels more natural, like something that has always been a part of me.Dolton watches in silence, arms crossed as he stands at the edge of the lake. He doesn’t speak, doesn’t interrupt. He just observes, letting me figure it out for myself.I never thought about how much I’ve locked this side of myself away until now. How much I’ve hidden, even from myself.“So, I was thinking,” Dolton finally says, his voice casual but pointed. “Get out, shift into your fae side, and try again. Fae can’t manipulate water, but if your magic is really linked, maybe you can now.&

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   His Differences

    Celine’s POVI sense them before I see them, the familiar presence of Jonathan and Dolton making their way back. But something feels… different.When they finally step into view, my eyes widen. Jonathan looks completely like a merfolk, his skin iridescent, shimmering with the faint glow of his magic. But unlike every merfolk I’ve ever seen, he still has legs instead of a tail. The webbing along his arms is more pronounced, his entire form radiating with something new, something that wasn’t there before.Something has shifted inside him.I step forward, studying him as he approaches. “Jonathan?”He glances at me, and for a moment, I see hesitation flicker in his eyes, like he’s waiting for some kind of reaction.“You stayed in your merfolk form,” I say, taking him in fully. He shifted back so quickly last time.Jonathan exhales, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah. Turns out

  • 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,&
