Blessed Curse

Aloha, and welcome back to the Blessed series. First and foremost, I would like to say Mahalo (Thank you) to everyone who has taken their time to read, comment, and share “Our Goddess has Blessed Us.” It was, what I thought, something to try. I did, and I am shocked at how many people enjoyed it. It may not have taken off like some other books, but I am appreciative of the few thousands that have supported me and left their encouraging comments. I know I have a long way to go before I can claim to be good at it, but I hope that through time and all of your support, I’ll get there someday. ‘Blessed Curse’ comes to you as book 2 of the Blessed series. Here, we’ll discover the lives of the next generation; Makana, Dom, Maika, and Alaric’s children; Ikaika, Kaleo, Kealohalani, Naomi, Nahe, Nanea, and Kahikole. We’ll also follow the lives of the family, and their children, Lia, Levi, Oliver, Price, Juliette, Harper and Harley, Pomaika’i, and Kaimana. **WARNING: THE BOOK YOU ARE READING WILL HAVE SCENES SUITED FOR AGES 18+. At no other time within the book will the author give you a warning. s*x, Love-Triangle, some t*****e, aggressive behaviors as well as b****y scenes are a part of the story. If you are sensitive to these subjects, you may want to refrain from reading. ************************* Kickoff Kealohalani POv I don’t know where I fell out of love with the idea of having a mate. I remember Naomi, Nahe, Nanea, Lia, and I cooing and giggling about finding the one who'd complete our soul. The fantasy of being one with another. Oh, how young and naive we were. Don’t get it twisted. I loved my parents. I loved growing up and seeing the love they shared. It is absolutely a beautiful sight. But, now, at fifteen, soon to be sixteen, I find myself hesitant about finding a mate. Maybe not hesitant, more so I don’t want one. My siblings and cousins have heard me voice out my opinions about finding a mate, countless times. Even though I've taken to seclusion from everyone over the last year or three, once in a while I needed to vent and one or all, even though I acted like a snob, they were there to listen. Soon, I know my brothers, Ikaika and Kaleo and I will be celebrating our sixteenth birthday. It is only time and fate that will decide where my life goes from here. Please, grandmother, if I have ever prayed before, ignore those pleads. Here and now, I pray to be blessed without a mate. I don’t want one nor do I need one. ******** Ikaika POV The life of the King's first born son, beautiful yet chaotic. The weight of the entire Kingdom will soon be mine to bear. My parents are always going on about me having my brother and king as well, to help me. But, the role of final call and executioner will always fall on me. To be able to find a mate who will complete me is my absolute sweet dream. To be able to share the burdens and be the rock for one another to lean on. Where I lack, she picks up. Vice versa. Turning sixteen in our world means you have become an adult. We get to meet our wolf for the first time and create a lifelong bond. I have already linked with my wolf, no one knows. He is a very dominant wolf. So much so that I've had to command him to knock it off with his hisses and growls when we discussed touchy subjects. We’ve had conversations about finding a mate, and he’s all into the ravage and take-at-first-sight. But my mother, nor my fathers, would take that kindly. I've explained that that is not how things are now. Everyone, including our mate, no matter her rank, is to be respected. His growls told me he wasn’t kin to kindness and patience, but if my mother has anything to do with it, he’ll work with me or my mother will step in. I've imagined my mate many times. My hope is that she is tolerable. That’s all. I don’t care where she comes from, who she is. Just hope that she is tolerable and is able to bare me and my wolf. I’ll expect a lot from her though. As the future King and Queen, she will live under a microscope of the council, our kingdom of wolves as well as the coven of vampires. Standards will be upheld to the highest stratum. Even as her mate, I will adhere to those and expect her to do so as well. ******* Kaleo POV Every other day or so, if it wasn’t one sibling, it was the other going on about finding a mate. I get it, we are mere weeks away from meeting our wolves and finding our mates, but good golly, were they both putting too much thought into it all? For one sibling, she wants nothing to do with the mate bond or finding a mate; the other is fantasizing about his, putting it out into the universe of what he expects from his mate. It’s exhausting. Me, whoever she is, I’ll be all and everything she needs. If she’s someone from a established family or pack, I’ll be there to humble her. If she is an omega, I’ll raise her up on that pedestal so she is respected and treated like the Queen she’ll be. It should be effortless. For he or she is the other half of your soul. It shouldn’t be a battle or even something to put a lot of thought into. He or she will know when enough is enough, or more is needed. He or she is the other half of you. As the second born son, I am held accountable for my actions just like the rest of my siblings. But the one who takes the brunt of the extra downfall is the eldest. I try to take as much as I can when it is time to get taught to rule. Not that I want to take the throne from my brother, no way. He can keep it. But I want to know everything, just so when I can, I am able to help him get through it with minimal or no repercussions on himself or the Kingdom. I've already sworn to my siblings to always be the voice when they need me. And I’ll never break that oath. ******** NAOMI POV Life as a Princess sort of sucks. All these girls out there wishing they had such a title. If they only knew. As the fourth child, I know I shouldn't grumble. My older siblings had it more challenging. Nonetheless, as a child of the Kings and Queen, I am still held to high standards. No frolicking, no lollygagging, no lazy days. We wake before the roosters, train, school, then Royal training. It was an all day thing. EVERY DAY. I was in limbo when it came to the mate thing. Cool and all. Seeing my parents would make anyone of us excited to find them. Well, it’s what you’d think. This subject is how you will see how different we all are from one another. One hated it, one wanted to control it, one was I guess like me, when it happens eh-so be it. I guess time will tell where my heart and souls decision lays. Younger me would slap me silly at that. I had plans. Now, eh-whatever happens happens. Just pray that I am blessed with someone who is down to earth as I am. Luckily I had Lia. She was always a free spirit. She was the Luna in waiting, but her sprite size always seemed to get her out of trouble. That or her b****y innocent face. I loved to use it to my advantage and she knows it. The adventures she’s taken me on. It is one for only the two of us to ever know. ******** Nahe POV This family is full of dreamers. My twin and I are realists. What we want, we set out to get. It doesn’t matter how we get it. Being a princess has so many advantages. I have pull in the wolf world that my parents would only dream of. Granted it may not be legal, but if you need a job done, why not go straight for the throat. Why skip around the problem? So annoying. Being some of the younger children, even though its only ten months younger then the oldest three, we are forgotten about, a lot. So much so that there wasn’t anyone keeping tabs on our everywhere about. We had guards, but I've slept with them both and neither one of them listens to my parents any longer. Only my sister and I. They'll do anything we say. Being forgotten about was something that hurt once upon a time. It wasn’t always like this. But, I guess with my siblings taking over the throne soon, lots of preparation, hours, days, weeks and months were put into them. Does it hurt now? Nope. The freedom both my sister and I have is absolutely ridiculously fun. ******** Kahikole POV The half breed. The abomination as I've heard rumors have named me. All of those rumors, all of those words, spoken to seek my ears and encourage me to hide away. Pfff....it did the exact opposite. It not only fueled me to be everything right in the eyes of those who expected me to fall, but it also fueled the dark side to want to prove to them that I can be that sinister Paul too. When my gifts surfaced, my parents had me training in secret. I had voiced my opinions on the rumors that had spread, and my fathers wanted heads. But my mother, she knew me and where my heart and loyalty lay. It was to this family. My family. With my mother and my fathers guidance, I was unstoppable by twelve years of age. Now at fourteen, fifteen in a month, if you slip by me, you earn a congratulations. For I am my brothers keeper. In my case, my families keeper. I am probably the quietest of the bunch. I am an observer. A reader of people. I haven’t been wrong once. Yet, the ones I should’ve kept an eye on, the ones who we never expected to betray us, found a way to rip away at any ideas of a future filled with peace. It is something I’ll have to live with, one of the many miss falls to come. ********** Lia POV It is every girls dream to live my life. I am spoiled rotten and get away with so much things, it should be illegal. Hehe. I am a total rule breaker, sin chaser, guts and glory girl. My sister from another mister calls it being ‘free spirited.’ I call it wanting to explore and experience life before I find a mate and be tied down. I mean, I am all down for my mate. I just want to experience things before hand. Is that too hard to understand? I am constantly lectured by Omi. Going on and on about I should’ve waited for my mate. The mating process will not be the same. Ladidada. I don’t get why it’s such a big deal. I want to have stories of adventures and misfortunes here and there. I want to be able to share how I traveled the mountains of Mount Everest. How I climbed the tallest building in Dubai and jumped, pulling my shoot just before time ran out. I want to experience love and love lost. It’s stupid, I know. But with the stories we’ve been told by not just my parents, but my Uncles, the Kings, and my Aunt Makana, that sort of love is for when I am older. For now, I am still young. I want every kind of experience there is to deal with in a relationship. Growing up, I was trained to be a protector. Ikaika, Kahi, Juliette and I. I may not be this big, tall, muscled out chic, but one should think twice before they step up in front of me looking for trouble. I don’t fight fair. And I don’t stop until you are on deaths door. That’s why when my family is threatened, I go all out in seeking vengeance. Not justice, that would entail me following rules. No I’ll go for your throat, no hesitation. ************* Levi POV Alpha. Always loved the sound of it. That’s why I've studied, went out and met our people, listened to their grievances and helped my dad with all of his Royal Alpha business. He was a damn good Alpha of the Royal court. He was just, he was kind, he was fair. I could only pray to be as he is. That is why I make sure to be with him in all his doings. He’s been on me about my sister. She thinks her little escapades and charades are going unnoticed, but oh how wrong she is. But as her twin, I’ll always have her back. Even though she can get into some stupid situations. For her though, her secrets are mine. It’s the twin bond. I’d never be able to live, knowing I've volunteered telling her secrets. No, I’ll never do that. I, unlike my sister, am waiting for my mate. Ikaika and I have sat down many of times, talking about who we’d want our mates to be or how we hope they acted a certain way, but in reality, we had no say. All we can do is hope for the best. **************** Harper and Harley POV We heal. The wounds, the heart, the soul. It was a shock to everyone when at the age of five, my twin and I were playing when a tree branch fell and a bird got injured. My sister and I healed it. Not by taking it home and nursing it back to health, no. Magic swelled between my sister and I, and in the blink of an eye, the little bird flew away. My aunt, the Queen says, there will come a time when lives will need all the help they could get. That our path was set before we were born and now, we’ll just have to await for the ball to drop. Not every one was aware. A war of magnitudes will test the times of wolves, vampires and humans. And because we are healers, we will be the ones to save the world. So, she has sat with us and taught us how to use our gift at max capacity. Now, we could heal three, four wolves at a time. Small wounds are simpler. But near death was still a work in progress. We think our mates are either rogues or of another species. It’s some what of a gift we possess. We feel in a deep sort of way, that our mates are either someone not of the wolf kingdom or of another species. We are not picky. We just pray that whoever they are, they have decent hearts. That’s the most we can ask for in a mate. ******************* Oliver POV A head warrior shooting for the general position at fifteen. Nothing will stop me from getting what I have worked my whole life for. So close, yet so far. The role of Alpha was given to Levi, my brother. But I was and am okay with it. That is way to much responsibility for me. Give me orders, tell me who I need to put in line, who I need to put into submission. That I can do. Command the masses, no thanks. My siblings and cousins were all raised almost like siblings all together. Don’t remember a time when we didn’t do anything together. Our parents bonds were so tight, that if one was in pain, all of the mothers would band together for the one. To me, even as a guy, I thought that was one of the most beautiful things to witness. As for us younger ones, while we all love each other, we’ve all grown to be our own individuals. See life differently and act differently. But, if anyone one of us needed help, none of us would hesitate to be there to assist. No matter what is needed, we had each others back. I have no thoughts on mates. It’s apart our lives. We are all told the mate bond stories. Whether it was our aunts and uncles or some other wolf and their mates. It’s all the same. You smell them first. And from there, the pull guides you to them. It’s an instant thing from what we’ve been told. So, I’ll just let fate handle that part, and when the time comes, follow my nose. ***************** Juliette’s POV Animal. Beast. Those are just a couple of the nicknames I have built. From a young age, I have built myself up in the ranks. I am one of the top warriors, I mean, look at who my mom is. My brother and I, I think was born to be warriors. Like it was the Moon Goddesses blessing to have us take to the life of protecting the less then able and bringing down rain on those who caused storms. I am only fourteen. But many thinks im older. I have been told that I have the face of an angel and the body of a seductress. I don’t flaunt it, never have. But sometimes I have to throat punch someone to remind them of their place. For f***s sake, i’m fourteen. I cannot count the times boys, I say boys because of their immaturity, claim they are my mates. So many of them trying to get with me, only to be able to claim me in their immature teenage list of conquests. Not happening. I am and will wait for my mate. No matter how long it takes for me to find him or her. My mothers, relationship is so alluring. I am not against the love they share. Nor am I against my aunts and uncles. I have always felt like I am bi-s****l, like my mothers. So I am totally open to it. What ever the moon Goddess decides, I will be appreciative for. There is always a reason why you are blessed with the mate she blesses you with. Until then, I’ll wait patiently. ********* The three left overs. That is what the three youngest members call themselves. Price, he’s his momma’s favorite, and isn’t cast off like a forgotten child, no. But sometimes, because of his age, he is left to do his own thing due to the adults training with the older ones. Pomaika’i is what his father calls rambunctious. A little dare dare devil mixed with mischief. He is still growing out and even though he has been given opportunities to join the ranks of the pack, he’s chosen to continue being a kid. Kaimana is the total opposite. Give him a book, an easel with a canvas and art supplies, he’ll give you something that is as gorgeous as Picasso originals. He was talented in the ways of art and poetry. Like his twin, he’s opposed to joining any ranks. Or train to become the future Gammas. **************** Makana POV  “There will be trouble arising in the future. I just wish I could see the details clearer.” Makana sighs as she leans into Doms's embrace as they lay on their bed. “We’ll be ready. Whatever and whoever it is, we’ll send them to the deepest part of hell.” He sighed, feeling his mates's anxieties. “I just feel, like, how long can our blessings last before it becomes a curse?” She exhales and closes her eyes, trying to will the thoughts away. “Come.” Alaric calls out to her. She crawls across the bed, and places herself over her mates lap, straddling him. “Who are you?” Alaric asks, pure pride radiating off of him. He does this every time she doubts herself. While Dom makes her stronger and Maika calms her, Alaric instills the trust back into her when she goes into self-doubt. She sighs, “I am Makana. The daughter of the Moon Goddess herself. The rightful heir to the throne of the wolves. I am the gifted Queen, blessed by the Gods and Goddesses of the realms. I am blessed. As is my family.” Alaric places a long kiss to her forehead, then pulled her lips to his. “Alaric.” Doms voice, holding a hidden message, says. “I know.” Alaric replies. Then taps Makana on her bum, “it’s full moon baby.” Makana’s eyes went wide. “Oh, no. No, no, no, no.” The three guys laughs. Maika stepped forward to help Makana off the bed and gives her a chaste kiss. “Your heat has subsided some. But I can still smell it. That with the full moon, unless you’d like to bless us with more pups, that we are not against, my love, we should hold off.” Maika says, stroking Makana’s cheeks. “Yeah, suppose we should all put a hold on.....that, and maybe get back to work. How many days has it been?” She asks. “Five. Five fun filled, beautiful days.” Dom smirks. “Yikes. Yes, lets get cleaned up and get back to work.” They all obey and take quick, sexless showers making their way to their family. “
