Celine POV

My thoughts swirl as I prepare for the road ahead, the answers I seek lingering just out of reach.

The car hums softly beneath us as we travel down the winding road, the dense forest stretching endlessly on either side. The sun filters through the windows, casting dappled light across Sebastian’s sharp features. He looks calm, focused, but my mind churns with questions. I can’t stay quiet any longer.

“Why are you helping werewolves?” I ask, turning to face him. “You’re the King of Dragons. Isn’t this something the Werewolf King should be handling?” My tone is curious, not accusatory, though I can’t help but feel there’s more to his involvement than he’s letting on.

Sebastian’s golden eyes flick to me briefly before returning to the road. “King Gregory has been sick for years,” he begins, his voice steady but laced with something deeper—perhaps frustration. “When I arrived in his kingdom searching for my son, we made an agreement. I would help resolve the issues I encountere

    Celine POVI stay perched above him, my knees on either side of his hips as my fingers trace the hard lines of his chest. Slowly, I let them wander to the top button of his shirt, unfastening it with deliberate care. His hands shoot up, capturing mine in his strong grip, and a deep chuckle rumbles from his chest.“Celine, we’re in the car,” he growls softly, his lips grazing my ear.The sound of his voice sends a jolt of desire through me, and I press my body closer to his, ignoring the faint protest in his tone. I want him—no, I need him. Before, sex had always been a chore, something I endured rather than enjoyed. But with Sebastian, it’s different. Every moment with him feels like electricity sparking through my veins, igniting something primal within me.I bite my lip, whispering a quiet, “Please,” before leaning in to kiss him. His lips meet mine, warm and firm, and as his hands release mine, I eagerly work to unfasten his shirt. The feel of his hands trailing over my body makes m

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Her Blood

    Sebastian POVThe journey to the next pack takes several days, the landscape shifting as we travel through dense forests, rolling hills, and the occasional stretch of desolate land. The pack’s territory comes into view at last—a modest settlement nestled in a valley, its simplicity stark against the backdrop of towering evergreens. The Pack House, though sturdy, bears the marks of wear, its weathered facade reflecting the challenges its inhabitants face.I step inside, Celine close at my side, and my gaze falls on Alpha Ian, seated at the head of the table. His face is etched with exhaustion, his shoulders slumped under the weight of his responsibilities. Beside him sits his Luna, Diane, her eyes red from crying, her pain palpable.“Alpha Dale was here, correct?” I ask, my tone firm but calm. My gaze locks onto Ian’s, and he nods, his expression darkening.“Yes,” Ian confirms, his voice heavy. “He said his Luna was wounded and asked to stay here. He offered money for accommodation.”Th

    Sebastian POV He fidgets in his seat, his gaze darting to the floor. “Her blood,” he begins hesitantly, “it’s... deadly. When she was younger, she fell ill. Very ill. We paid thousands for a doctor to examine her. He ran tests, took vials of her blood...” He swallows hard, his voice trembling. “Her blood acted like pure wolfsbane.”The room goes still, the air thick with tension. Pure wolfsbane? My mind races. Such a thing shouldn’t be possible. Wolfsbane is toxic to wolves—it should have killed her. Unless...“She’s immune to wolfsbane?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper, more to myself than to him.Alpha Ian nods slowly, his face contorted with guilt. “The doctor thought he’d mixed up the vials. He took more samples, ran the tests again, and got the same result.” He pauses, glancing anxiously around the room as if the walls themselves might betray him. “I made a mistake. I gave him permission to use her blood—to test its effects on wolves. He did, and then... he disappeared. To

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Involvement

    Sebastian POVIt took hours to extract all the information Alpha Ian and his pack had to offer. Most of it wasn’t documented, instead buried in fragmented memories and reluctant admissions. According to Ian, Alpha Dale stayed in their territory for just two nights—or, more accurately, one full night. He disappeared before dawn on the second day, leaving nothing behind but suspicion and heartbreak.Celine has been unusually quiet, listening intently to every word. She’s absorbing it all, but I can see the weight of it pressing on her. Even if we unearth every detail, I doubt we’ll find solid proof linking the King to these atrocities, especially when Ian’s pack has been trying unsuccessfully for years.As the others begin to filter out of the room, I raise my hand to stop one of them. “Max, stay here. I need to speak with you.”The Beta hesitates before settling back into his seat. He had more contact with Alpha Dale than anyone else, and if there are answers to be found, they might com

    Sebastian POV “It seems these auctions are a recurring operation,” I say grimly. “We need to find where they’re held.”Max’s head dips slightly, his guilt apparent. “He didn’t tell me where, just that he was the highest bidder.”“Then that’s where we start,” I reply.Max stands, his shoulders slumping. “I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help,” he mutters before leaving the room.The door clicks shut, and Joseph speaks up for the first time in what feels like hours. “The King gave us permission to investigate and resolve issues, not to dig into his affairs. If we keep going and it turns out he’s involved, what then?”I meet his gaze, unflinching. “If the King is part of this, there will be war. Wolves against dragons.”Joseph’s jaw tightens. “So what’s the plan? Gather information, find Daisy, and leave the rest to her family? Are you really comfortable walking away, knowing children are being kidnapped and sold?”His words hang in the air, the weight of them settling heavily on all of us.

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   The Information

    Celine POVAfter hearing everything Alpha Ian shared, a fire ignited within me—a burning need to help, to uncover the truth, and to make those responsible for such cruelty face the consequences. The thought of anyone willingly taking children and selling them like objects, stripped of freedom, treated as things instead of beings with rights, churns my stomach with anger.What sort of monster does this? The faces of the other children I had seen flash through my mind—faces filled with fear, hope extinguished. I clench my fists, the need for vengeance and justice boiling in my blood.The donations go back thirty years, long before I was even born. Could it be true that the King is somehow involved in this? The thought unsettles me deeply. A King’s duty is to protect his kingdom and his people, not to exploit them. How could someone in his position allow such darkness to fester under his rule?I place a worn piece of paper on the growing pile beside me, the facts and accusations swirling

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Craving

    Celine POV His chuckle vibrates against my lips as I fumble with the buttons of his shirt. “We should bathe,” he murmurs, his voice low and teasing, before his teeth nip gently at my lower lip.He’s right, as usual. The heat of the moment cools slightly, replaced with the desire to feel the water cleanse us both. I grasp his hand and tug him into the adjoining bathroom. Turning on the shower, I step under the cascade, pulling him in with me. The room is warm and steamy, the faint scent of lavender and cedar from the soaps lingering in the air. Before I can make a move, his arms encircle me, his broad chest pressing against my back, enveloping me in his warmth. The water cascades over us, its steady rhythm a soothing backdrop as he takes a cloth and begins to wash me. His movements are deliberate, almost reverent. One hand holds the cloth as it glides across my shoulders, down my arms, and over my back.His other hand finds its way to my neck, holding me gently but firmly in place,

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Eloune City

    Sebastian POVThe moment we arrived at Eloune City, the atmosphere shifted. The sprawling, chaotic streets buzzed with life, but it wasn’t the comforting hum of a thriving community—it was an undercurrent of danger, of tension waiting to snap. The kind of place where you couldn’t trust the shadows or the smiles.None of us stepped out of the cars immediately. This wasn’t the kind of city to take chances in, especially with a group like ours. Royals and guards tend to attract attention, and not the good kind. I scanned the streets through the tinted windows. People moved in clusters, their eyes sharp and mistrusting.“We’ve got a few locations to check,” Celine says, breaking the heavy silence. Her voice is bright, almost hopeful, and when I turn to look at her, she is smiling faintly. She has been reading through the information we gathered, piecing together possible leads.“It’s not about just knowing where to go,” I reply, my voice low. “It’s about keeping you safe. Places like this.

    Sebastian POVI push forward, wrestling back control, and my hand immediately covers her eyes. My heart pounds—I felt it, I saw it—but Helios had been locked in some sort of trance, completely unaware of what had just happened.“Helios, stop,” she laughs, twisting in my grip, trying to uncover her eyes, oblivious to what she just did.“It’s me,” I whisper, and she stills.Her fingers brush against my wrist, hesitant now, but still confused. “Okay… why are you covering my eyes, Sebastian?”I exhale sharply, my grip tight but careful, my own breath still unsteady. “Because I felt it. Helios was submitting to you, Celine.”She hums lightly, as if it’s nothing, as if that word doesn’t hold a dangerous weight.I grit my teeth. “Not just submitting. He had no choice, Celine. No power but to obey you completely. Your eyes have changed. You need to focus, see if you can push that power away.”She laughs, like I’m crazy, but I know what I felt.“Celine,” I say, my voice firm, unrelenting. “I m

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Powerful

    Celine POVI feel every inch of his strength, every ounce of his control fraying at the edges. His eyes flicker to mine again, his beathing heavier.“More,” I whisper, my voice softer now but still commanding, still certain.Helios’ breath hitches, his grip flexing, his entire frame going rigid for the briefest second before he obeys without question.His tail tightens further, spreading my legs around his waist, holding me completely captive. His massive form presses even closer, his scales dragging against my skin in a way that sends fire racing through me. He moves, and his claws dig into my thighs, just enough to mark, to claim, to possess, and then—A deep snarl tears from his throat as his hips press forward, fully, completely, irreversibly claiming me in a way that sends shockwaves of sensation ripping through every nerve in my body.A gasp escapes me, sharp, breathless, my body arching into him, the overwhelming heat of him, the sheer size, the pressure, the absolute force of

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Needing More

    Celine POVThe heat between us is unbearable, a force so thick and consuming it leaves no room for anything else. My body is on fire, and Helios is the only thing grounding me.His lips move against my throat, slow and deliberate, his teeth grazing my skin, his tongue teasing, tasting, testing my reaction. I shudder, my fingers digging into his arms, feeling the ripple of pure power beneath my touch.I tilt my head slightly, my eyes locking onto his. “Kiss me again,” I whisper.A growl rumbles from deep in his chest, and his mouth crashes back onto mine with reckless hunger, his body pressing harder against me as if the space between us is too much, as if nothing short of consuming me will satisfy him. His claws tangle into my hair, tilting my head back, deepening the kiss until there’s no part of me that isn’t claimed by him.He moves gripping my waist tighter as he lifts me effortlessly, pressing me harder against the stone wall, his wings flexing behind him, enclosing us in a cocoo

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Differences

    Celine POVThe first thing I feel is warmth. Strong arms wrapped around me, the steady rise and fall of a chest pressed firmly against mine, wings cutting through the air with effortless power. The wind rushes past, sharp and crisp, heightening every sense, making the world around me feel too much—too sharp, too vivid, too real.I know instantly that I’m flying.But this isn’t Sebastian.Sebastian flies with control, his movements precise, every shift of his wings deliberate. This? This is something else entirely. This is wild, reckless, instinctual in a way that feels less like calculated flight and more like a beast carrying its most treasured possession away from danger.It’s Helios.I blink against the wind, my body responding before my mind catches up, my fingers twitching against his chest. The moment I open my eyes, the world floods in with too much clarity, every detail burning itself into my vision like I’m seeing everything for the first time. The air feels heavier, the cold

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   More Than The Norm

    Sebastian POVElira hums thoughtfully, pacing slightly as she processes what she’s discovered. “She doesn’t just have it,” she corrects. “She was meant to have it. It’s as if her body was waiting for this moment, waiting for the blood to activate something ancient in her.”The thought sends a chill down my spine. Celine wasn’t just thrown into this life—she was made for it, built with something none of us fully understand.And if her shifters have changed, if the blood has altered more than just her vampire nature… then what will she be capable of when she wakes?I glance down at her again, brushing a strand of hair from her face, studying the way her expression remains peaceful, almost deceptively so.“She’s going to be different when she wakes up,” I murmur, more to myself than anyone else.Elira nods. “Yes. But how different… that, we will have to wait to see.”Aarmon chuckles darkly, shaking his head. “Something tells me none of us are prepared for what she’s becoming.”I don’t re

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Her Changes

    Sebastian POVI don’t know why this happened. Drinking blood was supposed to help, it was supposed to restore her, yet here she is—completely unconscious again. My arms tighten around her, feeling the steady rise and fall of her chest, but it does nothing to ease the frustration pressing against my ribs.I hate not knowing what’s happening. I hate not understanding how to fix this. Right now, I wish Jonathan were here. He would have the journals, the knowledge, the answers—but all I have is speculation, and that’s not enough.Aarmon watches me carefully, his gaze sharp, and assessing. “What is your plan?”I wish I had a plan.I glance down at Celine’s unmoving form, feeling her warmth against me, and shrug—a gesture so completely un-king-like it would make my father roll in his grave. But I don’t care. I don’t have the luxury of pretending to have control when I don’t even know what she’s becoming.“If I may,” Elira steps forward, waiting for my permission, and I nod sharply. Whatever

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Giving In To It

    Celine POVI try to look at him, try to show him that I hear him, that I understand what he’s saying, but the exhaustion pressing down on me is suffocating. My vision blurs at the edges, the room tilting slightly, and I know he’s right—I’m losing this battle. My body is screaming for something I refuse to give it, and I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.Sebastian swears under his breath, his grip tightening before he finally snaps his head toward Aarmon. “Do it,” he orders, his voice cold and resolute. “Now.”Aarmon’s lips quirk upward slightly, almost like he was expecting this outcome, but there’s no smugness in his expression, just a quiet understanding of inevitability. He turns toward the woman standing beside him, who doesn’t flinch or resist, merely tilts her head slightly, exposing the delicate line of her throat.I barely have time to process what’s happening before Aarmon moves.Faster than my mind can register, he closes the distance between them, his body fluid, p

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Refusing To Drink

    Celine POVI swallow hard, trying to force down the unease twisting in my stomach.“She needs blood.” Sebastian’s voice is unwavering, carrying a finality that leaves no room for argument. “We’ve uncovered enough to know that she needs blood—without it, she weakens every time she uses her shifters or her magic. It’s not a choice anymore. If she keeps resisting, she’s going to collapse.”His gaze flickers from Elira to someone else, and when I follow his line of sight, my breath catches.The man standing near the doorway is unmistakable. Even without fangs bared or red eyes flashing, I know what he is. A vampire. The air around him hums with something ancient, something predatory, and my instincts scream at me to keep my distance.“I’ll bring someone for her to drink from,” he says casually, turning as if the decision has already been made, as if I have no say in this.My pulse spikes, panic seizing my chest. “No—” My head shakes, my voice cracking. “I’ll drink it, but not like that.

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Waking Up

    Celine POVI don’t know what happened. One moment, I was soaring through the skies, the wind rushing against my scales, the freedom of the moment consuming me entirely. Then, in an instant, everything shifted. The air disappeared, the sky vanished, and suddenly, I was standing—not flying, not falling—just there, locked in place in front of him.The Werewolf King.His presence was suffocating, thick like smoke curling around me, twisting into my skin, into my mind, making everything feel wrong. The weight of it pressed down on me, coiling around my ribs, making each breath shallower than the last. It wasn’t real—it couldn’t be real—but the longer I stood there, the more that certainty slipped away. My thoughts grew hazy, my senses dulled, and I could no longer tell if this was a vision or my new reality.The world around me didn’t shift or waver like my past visions did. There was no flickering, no moments where I could see that it wasn’t real. This was different. This felt permanent.
