Saving The Rejected Lycan

The Curse

Hecate Coven…

Genevive's POV….

The next day I found myself speaking with the new members over lunch. They were intustiatic and wanted to know about everything.

“The way this works is , there’s 4 levels of witches. Each one of you will advance according to your own progress. It’s not a school you don't just go on to the next grade. If you don’t work hard and learn everything we’re gonna teach you, you won’t level up. Right now you’re all level 1." They all nodded ,"Anything else you guys wanna know?” I asked.

A girl raised her hand almost not wanting to. “Yes Claire, don’t be shy. Ask away.”

“Umm I was wondering if you could tell us the story of the Moon Goddess and her lover?” Everyone started agreeing.

“Ok ok. I guess you should know it… I know you’ve heard versions but this is the real story….You all know there’s The Goddess of light, the Sun God, The Moon Goddess and the Shadow God. The Goddess of light and the Sun God are the creators of the creatures of light. Fairies, Nymphs, Sirens, Dragons and humans. The Moon Goddess and The Shadow God are the creators of the creatures of darkness, like Werewolves, Lycans, Vampires , Changelings, Witches and some humans. Being creatures of darkness doesn't make us bad, it simply means our magic thrives at night and with the moon on full display.

The Goddess of light and the sun God remained Neutral and their creatures thrive because of it.

However the Moon Goddess and the Shadow God fell in love.

Their Love became so strong that they were connected in every way. If one hurt the other could feel it, they became inseparable. The Goddess began to see how she had her love and her children struggled to find someone. She decided she would allow them the same connection with someone like she had with the Shadow God. She gave them mates. We finally had mates and when we did , we started dividing into our own groups according to our species. But that wasn’t enough for us. We wanted what the other had. Everyone was trying to be the head of the hierarchy. Wars started . The Shadow God thought it was ok to let us kill each other off we had disappointed him , but the Goddess had another idea. She decided she would Mate two kinds, they would be powerful and they would head of the hierarchy. Before the shadow God could figure out what she was doing she mated a Lycaon the first Lycan and Circe the Mother Witch. When The Shadow God found out he was furious. He was afraid this bond would become too powerful even more than him. You see when you’re mated with someone you switch half of your soul for theirs. Imagine a powerful Lycan and a Powerful witch swapping souls.” They all stared at me in awe of course they could imagine it would be awesome.

I continued, “ So the Shadow God was determined to end their bond. He appeared to Circe and offered her power in exchange for one night. At first she couldn’t imagine betraying her love like that but then he convinced her. He would give her and her mate power to take over the war they were in and win. And the best part was he told her , Lycaon wouldn’t know about it.

She accepted. Of course he lied to her because the moment he was inside of her ….her mate felt it and so did the Goddess. The pain nearly drove her mate mad and the Goddess punished Circe and all her descendants. She took Mother's mate away and gave him another and as for us...She made sure we would never find another mate ever again. We don’t have mates anymore. We can fall in love and in there lies our curse. Imagine falling in love, loving a person more than life itself. They complete you in every way possible. Imagine feeling how that person loves to you back , your life feels perfect and complete." Their faces lit up imagining finding love like that. Of course I was going to burst their bubble.

" Now imagine that just when You think everything is perfect , your love finds his mate. His fated mate. And suddenly no longer belongs to you or loves you and he mates another. Because every species can have a mate except us."

Their expressionless faces looked down trying not to get to affected by it. But I could tell they were crushed.

" This is why our sister bond is the most important thing we have. When we take the oath and get inducted into the coven we accept the curse as an act of love towards our sisters. We accept that the only ones we can count on is each other."

Claire raised her hand again. "Yes Claire?"

"Have any of us fallen in love?"

I sighed " Yes. It happens more than we'd like. The last time our sister almost went mad. She developed the mate bond but he didn't. When he found his fated mate our sister felt as if she was being rejected. It broke her and almost killed her. That's why some of us have resorted to anti-loving spells. We won't risk falling in love."

Silence took over the room.

"Don't let it get to you. Happiness is achievable here, we have all we need ." They smiled and seemed to get over it. They had to otherwise they wouldn't have accepted the coven.

"Ahem." James cleared her throat as she walked in.

I turned to face her.

"Master the council is waiting for you."

I nodded and turned and faced my sisters one last time.

"I'm here for you. We all are."

I walked out with James trailing behind me.

So now you know , that's why I reject Jack. That is why I will not go down that road.
