Explaining The Curse

last update Last Updated: 2024-07-29 16:58:38
Sebastian POV

I find myself at a loss for words. The gift Celine possesses is extraordinary, but calling it a gift feels dishonest. To me, it’s a double-edged sword, as much a curse as it is a blessing. Imagine having the ability to glimpse the future, only to see something horrific and know you shouldn’t interfere—perhaps that you can’t interfere.

How would she reconcile that? How would it feel to carry the burden of foreknowledge, knowing that ignoring it was the only way to maintain balance? To see tragedy unfold and do nothing—it’s a heavy weight for anyone, especially someone as unprepared as Celine.

Her voice pulls me from my thoughts, soft but filled with concern. “Nischola… what is wrong with her?” Her wide, questioning eyes meet mine, and I know I owe her the truth.

“We don’t know,” I reply with a sigh, running a hand through my hair. “We’ve tried everything. Doctors couldn’t find a cause, let alone a cure. We turned to a witch—nothing. Finally, a warlock told us she was curse

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Giving It To Her

    Sebastian POV Her body shifts against me, her movements fluid and deliberate as she straddles me. Her hands find their way into my hair, tangling themselves as her lips meet mine in a heated kiss. I can feel the fire radiating from her, the desire that burns just beneath her skin. My hands glide along her sides, trailing over the soft curve of her body, the warmth of her flesh igniting a fire of my own.My nose brushes against her neck, and I inhale deeply, taking in her scent. It’s subtly different now, richer, more intoxicating. A smile tugs at my lips. Her wolf. She doesn’t realize it yet, but her scent has changed, signaling the deepening connection between her and her wolf. If I tell her later, I know she’ll brush it off, unwilling or unable to accept the truth.Last night wasn’t how I envisioned our first time. I wanted her to feel safe, comfortable, and ready. But the need was and is undeniable, both hers and mine. Her wolf craves this, and denying her would only make it worse.

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Punishments

    Celine POVWalking down the grand staircase with Sebastian at my side feels surreal. The Pack House, with its high ceilings and dark wooden beams, is warm and welcoming in a way I’m not used to. It still feels strange to be here, sleeping in a soft bed, wrapped in blankets, and surrounded by warmth. The faint scent of wood polish and cooked food lingers in the air, a stark contrast to the damp, cold cells I’d grown accustomed to.Last night was the first time in years I wasn’t jarred awake by the endless noise of prisoners shouting, screaming, or banging on the bars. In the cells, silence was rare, and sleep was a luxury. Morning always came too soon, dragging me into the harsh reality of cooking for everyone else before I’d even eaten myself.But today was different. I slept in—a small luxury that feels almost wrong. As Sebastian guides me toward the bustling kitchen, the murmur of voices grows louder. The Pack’s kitchen is full of people, the warm light from the windows casting long

    Celine POV“She deserved it!” Selene snaps, her eyes blazing with anger.A soldier steps forward, grabbing her arm and pulling her toward the front. Her defiance falters slightly as Sebastian turns his piercing gaze on her. “State your case,” he says, his voice cold and commanding. “What did she do to deserve the abuse you inflicted on her?”Selene hesitates, her eyes darting between me and the crowd. Finally, she sneers. “She slept with my mate!” she screams, her voice echoing in the courtyard.“Not willingly!” Beta Tom’s voice booms across the space, cutting through her accusation. His face is red with anger as he steps forward. “I told you over and over, Selene—leave it!”His words hit me like a punch to the gut. The pieces fall into place. Selene’s hatred, her cruelty—it all began after that day. She’s been punishing me for something I had no choice in.My chest tightens, and for a moment, I want to say. Leave it. Let her go. But I know better. If Selene walks away unpunished, she’

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Her Focus

    Sebastian POVThe air was tense as the punishments were carried out earlier, the weight of justice settling over the pack. Now, as the evening light casts long shadows across the pack grounds, I gather everyone together. They form a loose semi-circle, murmuring amongst themselves, speculating about who will take leadership once we leave. Their faces reflect a mix of anticipation and uncertainty, their gazes shifting toward me for answers.“Alpha Ryan,” I call out, my voice carrying authority. All eyes turn toward the man who rises quickly from his seat. His movements are sharp, his posture upright, but I can see the shadow of his past in his eyes—a quiet sadness he carries with him.“If you’re willing,” I continue, “this is your pack now. You’re the alpha. These wolves will follow your orders.” My words hang in the air as I wait for his response, the tension palpable.Ryan bows his head slightly in deference. “Of course, Your Majesty. I accept,” he says, his voice steady but tinged wit

    Sebastian POV I step closer, cupping her face in my hands. “You just told me you’d try to help Nischola before even learning about your true self,” I remind her gently. “That tells me everything I need to know. I have faith in you, Celine. You’ll be an amazing queen.” My words are filled with conviction, and I see her relax slightly, leaning into my touch.But my curiosity gets the better of me. “We need to talk about this, Celine,” I say softly. “You don’t seem to ask much about yourself. Why?”Her brows furrow in confusion. “What sorts of things would I ask?” she replies, her voice unsure.I sigh, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “About your abilities. Your wolf,” I say, searching her gaze for understanding. “You’ve shifted once, but you haven’t fully accepted her. You haven’t even reached out to learn her name.” My words are gentle but firm.She stares at me, her confusion deepening. She doesn’t know what she’s capable of, and she’s too focused on others to realize she need

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   My Wolf

    CelineAfter Sebastian left, his words lingered in my mind. You need to focus on yourself. He was right, though admitting it wasn’t easy. I hadn’t truly tried to understand who—or what—I am. The thought unsettled me, but it was long overdue.Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes, focusing inward. I need to find her. My wolf. The memory of shifting that first time was still vivid, chaotic, and instinctive. I had no control, no understanding. It had just… happened.As I concentrate, something stirs within me, a presence I hadn’t acknowledged before. It isn’t just my wolf—there is so much more, layers of something ancient and untapped, powerful and yet elusive. It is overwhelming, but I push through the noise, focusing on the thread that feels most familiar.Then, a voice, clear and resonant, cuts through the chaos.Celine, I am Luperca.The words jolt me, my eyes snapping open. I look around instinctively, as though expecting someone to appear in the room, but I know better. The voice wa

    Celine POV I watch, my heart pounding as he begins to shift. The process was seamless, fluid, as though his body obeyed without hesitation. His form grows, dark purple scales shimmering with an almost black sheen. His wings unfurled, their edges tipped with red spikes that gleamed ominously in the dim light.He’s magnificent—and terrifying.He kneels, his massive form towering over me even in his lowered position. As he leans closer, the air seems to thin, and my breathing becomes shallow. His clawed hand reaches out, gripping my jaw gently but firmly, his nails pressing just enough to remind me of his strength.The world around me blurs as images began to flood my mind. They are vivid and sharp, flashing too quickly for me to process. I need to focus. Breathe, Celine. Breathe. I try to steady myself, forcing the visions back as I fight to remember how to draw air into my lungs.But his presence is overwhelming, his power suffocating in its intensity. My body trembles, caught between

    CelineNestled in Helio’s arms, I let the world around me fade away, my body melting into his warmth. His hands cup my face gently, his touch grounding me as his forehead rests against mine. A soft hum escapes my lips, a quiet acknowledgment of the comfort his presence provides. My body feels weightless, like I’ve transcended the physical, existing in a haze of pleasure and exhaustion.He shifts slightly, his lips brushing against mine in a kiss so tender it makes my heart ache. I respond instinctively, my mouth parting, allowing my tongue to meet his. The intimate connection deepens as his tongue strokes along mine, the sensation sending a soft moan tumbling from my lips.Unable to help myself, I press closer to him, needing more of his warmth, his touch, his presence. But just as quickly, he pulls back. I watch as his form shifts seamlessly, returning to his human self. A pout forms on my lips, and he chuckles softly, his amusement lighting up the room.His hand moves to my chin, his

  • 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.

    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,&

    Dolton POVAs I go to leave the cells, Celine walks in. It's pointless, I know she wants to know how things are happening but my father isn't about to speak.“He won’t speak,” I mutter before glancing back to my father. “At least not truthfully.”Celine smiles softly at me and nods. She looks back to my father and steps around me going toward the cells. “Then let’s make sure he can’t lie.”What? I stare at her and realise what she means. She reaches my father and his gaze turns cold. She doesn't hesitate she reaches through the bars and grips his hand, her grip tightens even more. I watch as his eyes widen, and a sharp breath escapes him as her magic pulses through him, I know what she's doing. She's going a truth spell and ensuring it's weaving into his mind, binding him to honesty. The moment the spell settles, I watch as she releases him and steps back, nodding toward me.“He can’

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Seeing It

    Dolton POVI stare at the moon, trying to understand what Leif is talking about. To me, it’s always been just a moon, something distant, powerful in its way, but never something I thought would speak to me. Yet Leif’s words linger in my mind, urging me to look deeper, to truly see.At first, I don’t notice anything unusual, just the pale glow of the moon standing oddly bright against the daytime sky. But the longer I stare, the more the edges of my vision blur, pulling my focus sharply toward the moon’s surface. Something shifts there, a subtle movement, a ripple of darkness.I blink, thinking it’s my imagination or fatigue from the battle. Yet the shadows don’t vanish; instead, they sharpen, becoming clearer, more defined. My breathing slows, and my heart quickens as I focus, straining to understand exactly what I’m witnessing.Then I see it, the shadows aren’t just vague, dark shapes. They’re detaile

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Not Expected

    Celine’s POVThe moment Dolton speaks, everything inside me stills. A heartbeat?My hand instinctively moves to my stomach before I can even process the thought. I don’t know why I do it, as if touching the skin there will somehow confirm what I already feel creeping into my mind.For the past few hours, I’ve felt different, not just exhausted from the battle, but off in a way I couldn’t explain. I thought it was the weight of everything we had endured. The stress, the adrenaline, the overwhelming chaos of the fight and its aftermath. But now, as I focus, as I truly listen to my own body, I feel it.My heartbeat pounds in my ears, but beneath it, softer yet just as strong, is another. Smaller, lighter, but carrying a strength all its own. The realization hits me slowly, sinking into my bones, spreading warmth through my chest.I press my fingers to my stomach, the weight of Sebastian’s hand still cover

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   Noticing

    Dolton POVWe leave the palace and travel to the pack in silence, not the kind where no one is speaking, but the kind where something lingers in the air, heavy and unspoken. Conversations happen around me, but the weight of everything we’ve been through presses down on all of us.Sebastian looks lost in thought, still trying to piece together what happened with Helios. I feel the same way, my mind circling back to the shadow thing. It wasn’t something I had done before. I don’t even know how I did it.“Did you know last night was a blood moon?” Leif suddenly speaks up, breaking through the murmur of conversation.Everyone turns to him, including me. “How did you know that?” I ask, confused.“I could feel the difference,” he says with certainty. “It might have been hidden, but it was a blood moon.”I nod slowly, unsure of what to say to that. “Okay.”“Y

  • Orphaned Queen Goddess   All Different

    Jonathan POVEveryone is different now, and I know it’s because of the battle. We all tapped into something we didn’t fully understand, unlocking pieces of ourselves we hadn’t even known existed. Then there was Celine, so close to dying, and Sebastian nearly died as well. Standing on the edge of death leaves a mark, one that doesn’t fade easily.But it’s Dolton who concerns me the most. Something about him feels… off. He looks lost, distant, like he’s trying to make sense of something bigger than just the battle. I can sense his unease even from the other side of the palace, something stirring within him that he hasn’t spoken about yet.The other royals have left, tending to their own, but I decide to stay and find Dolton. I walk through the halls until I spot him sitting alone, a glass in his hand. Leif isn’t here, which is unusual. The kid has been at his side constantly since they met, bu

    Sebastian POVThe air in the palace feels heavy, like the walls are pressing in, suffocating me. I shift on my feet, glancing around the grand hall that once belonged to the Werewolf King. There’s too much history here, too much bloodshed. Staying in this place doesn’t sit right with me.I turn to Dolton. “Would your pack be able to take us in?”Dolton tilts his head, studying me. “You don’t want to stay here?”“No,” I admit, running a hand through my hair. “I don’t like this place. It belonged to him. It’s… tainted.” I exhale sharply. “I need to be somewhere that feels like neutral ground.”Dolton doesn’t hesitate. “It won’t be an issue. My pack will accept us.”That’s a relief. The last thing I want is to stay in this palace any longer than necessary. I can’t explain it, but the idea of sleep
