Their Lycan Queen

Chatper 177

Part 3 Chapter 7

Melinda’s POV

I am the king’s daughter and I am also the witch that created the curse, daughter. Am I cursed as well? Daniel toldearlier that he could sense my lycan but that she is probably dormant and here I thought my dad was just a random lycan and not the king himself.

What if they didn’t succeed in killing my lycan and that she is in fact dormant inside of me. If I break the second part of the curse, will she be released? Will I turn into a lycan? I don’t know if that is something that I even want. I never pictured being a lycan.

All of my worries eataway and I know that Daniel can feel them as well as he has been hovering very close tosince the king toldthat I am his daughter. I thought that Helios and Ares would resent or hatebut both of them seemed pretty cool about this whole situation.

Helios mindlinked Ares and with Nora’s help I got inside the mindlink. too and we could talk freely and I finally understood that Ares felt awkward in the beginning when he was together with Mia but then he realized that everything was fine. But I think it felt like that for him since I was Mia’s birth mother.

My mom, Mariah, has been avoidingand I don’t understand why but the king explained that I will have to go through a ceremony where he will acceptas his daughter and when I accept him as my father the curse will be broken completely.

I wonder if my birth mother ever saw this coming. Creating one curse with two keys to break it and one of them was her own daughter.

Magic always comes with a price and all magic has a loophole. That is something that every witch will learn before doing the actual magic.

It is the beginning of evening and I am trying to get ready and I search through my wardrobe but I don’t have anything fitting to wear and I think of Nora that got all of those dresses today, maybe I can borrow one of them? Would that be weird? Yes, it would, silly me.

A knock on the door interrupts my inner dialog and I go to open it and I see the king himself or rather my father. Gosh, that is so weird to think about.

“Hello Melinda. I thought that you didn’t have a dress for the evening so I brought a bunch of them if you want to take a look?” he says and I can sense that he is also nervous but I smile and nod and show him inside our room.

“What are those dresses?” I ask him as he lays them down on the bed for me.

“They belonged to your biological mother” he answers and looks sad.

“Did you love her? I am so sorry I shouldn’t have asked you that” I completely flustered over my sudden curiosity.

say

“It is fine and you have the right to ask but sadly no. I didn’t love your mother, not like I loved my true mate. Your mother and I had only the bond between us and I think that she actually hated me. I do know that she loved my mate” he says and seems to be lost in his thoughts.

I bend over and open the dress bag and I gasp over the perfection of the dresses.

“Your mother used a spell to make them stay freshed. She actually made these ones for you. she knew she was pregnant with you before anybody else and she would sit up and sew these dresses for you. See,

she left a letter for you here. You should read it. When you have chosen a dress, you can come downstair and we will begin the ceremony.” he says and I look at him and nod

“Thank you, your majesty” I say and bow out of habit but I am not sure if I should do that or not.

“No need to bend and if you find it awkward to callfather after everything then we can call each other by our names if that is alright with you? Oh, by the way. After the ceremony, you and Daniel will get another room, you can choose any one that you like” he says and I

smile.

“I already know which one that I would love” I say and smile and he nods before he goes out and in comes Daniel instead.

“Can I cin or do you want to be alone with your mothers words?” Daniel asks and I shake my head as I grab the card.

“Stay please” I whisper and he comes and liftsinto his arms and he sits down on the bed still with me in his arms.

I open the letter and start to read it outloud.

“Dear Melinda.”

I am sorry that I can’t be with you on this day when you read this letter. There will probably be a lot of people that will spout nonsense of who I was. But you just need to know one thing and that is that I loved you so very much, my darling.

I created the curse not only because of your father and step mother but because of myself as well. I cannot tell you how much I have been torn between my feelings and the st upid mate bond. For a while all I wanted was to know who my mate was and then the accident happened.

All magic comes with a price, you know. I hope that someone has taught you this. When I severed the bond of the queen and the king’s brother the magic wanted to put the balance back together and so it latched ontoand pulledinto the bond instead.

Since I already had these feelings for our queen I was an easy target but I bonded with the king as well. He is your father but believeI never once liked him. His eyes were always on the woman he truly loved, even when we created you, he said her nover and over.

I hope for all my life that you have grown up to be a strong and independent woman and that you will have children of your own one day when my curse has been broken. Your lycan is laying dormant inside of you, they could never kill her but I am sorry to tell you.

Even if the curse is broken you can’t shift into her form. All magic comes with a price. To seal her away and save you it made it so you will never be able to shift, I am sorry for that, I hope you can forgive this sad excuse of a mother.

No matter who you are today, please lettell you one truth. I love

you and I will always be proud of you. My sweet Melinda, love

child.

Love from your mother”

My only

I wailed after I had read it all and Daniel huggedhard as he comforted me.

I looked at all the dresses and chose one that I thought would be most fitting.

“You will look like a goddess in this”
