Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates

Chapter 739: 739-The Holy Mother’s Murder

Author’s POV:

"How are you now?" Lord McQuoid asked, running his hand through his wife’s hair. She smiled at him softly and sadly.

"I was so scared when the monster attacked," she said with a pout.

"What was a Zharn doing in the cave? I thought the monsters would not attack the Holy Mother," Lord McQuoid asked, still confused after hearing that his wife had gone to meet the Holy Mother to apologize for her behavior the other day and to promise to change. Then they were attacked and the Holy Mother was killed in a brutal frenzy. He had been very disturbed.

"Honey, she told me a few things before she passed away," she uttered, tears running down her cheeks. The truth was different from what she told her husband and others. Once she arrived at the cave, she killed the woman. Then the two, Larry and Darcy, opened her body together, mimicking something a Zharn would do. They dragged her body out so it seemed like a Zharn did it. Then they left the body parts in the surroundings. However, while doing all the labor, Darcy went into early labor. She was notified that she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. She was ecstatic.

"What did she say to you?" Lord McQuoid asked.

"She said she spoke to the moon goddess for us and it is okay for us to have children on the mate full moon," she said, smiling and blinking.

"What?" Lord McQuoid was a little lost, but Darcy had no reason to lie. She would not want a curse upon herself and her babies and all their generations just to have many babies, so he was certain she wasn’t lying.

"And you know what? what the moon goddess wanted in return from her?" Darcy continued, because she knew there would still be a moment where Lord McQuoid would question her story.

"She asked the moon goddess to take away the immunity from her, just to give us our right to have babies. And that happened. The moon goddess took away the immunity and that is when the Zharn attacked her. Doesn’t that make sense?"

As she spoke carefully, her husband began to nod his head. It did make sense, because how was she suddenly attacked when the Zharns were not attacking her before?

"See, I used to tell you, she is an amazing woman. She sacrificed herself for us."

Lord McQuoid was now in tears. He had always seen the Holy Mother as his second mother, so he was deeply affected. To find out that she died while giving them a chance to have a happy life struck him even harder.

"It’s okay, you can share your sadness and sorrows with me. She blessed us with a chance to have children and I think we should take advantage of that," she said to Lord McQuoid, who began to nod his head happily.

"I will never let her down," he claimed.

"By the way, did you have a name for our baby boy?" he asked, smiling.

"Yes," she replied. "How about Norman?"

The two smiled widely.

"And then the next one will be Emmet, then Maximus, then Kaye, and then Harry," she started speaking in one breath, and he began to laugh.

"Okay, you already thought it through," his tone was cheerful as he questioned and she gave him a nod.

However, there was another thing that she was hiding from her man. All these months when she was pregnant after the Holy Mother told her they should not conceive other children, Lady Darcy had visited another woman living in the woods of the rogue community. The woman was a cursed one, a bad influence. She was said to be related to the monsters. When Darcy approached her, she believed the woman would reject her.

However, a part of her told her that would never happen, only because this woman was not born evil. She chose the path of evil and magic. So she was seen as a monster like the others. She was Darcy’s old school teacher. When Darcy was in high school, there was a young teacher who arrived and connected well with Darcy because of their similar thoughts. But after the woman was found practicing magic, she was kicked out. She claimed she was a seer, but nobody believed her.

The werewolves said if the moon goddess did not allow a seer to use magic to see the future, then it was not allowed. So they kicked her out. That same woman told Darcy that the only way she could have what she wanted was by eliminating the Holy Mother.

"I will let you rest now," Lord McQuoid said, walking out of the room.

Darcy quickly held her phone to call the woman.

"I’m so happy it worked," she said to the woman, who started to laugh on the other side. noveldrama

"There is another good news. I saw your future. There is a way to escape this curse," she told Darcy, and Darcy already knew she had picked the right side. The Holy Mother was giving her an option that wasn’t really an option to discard the curse. This woman, the seer herself who was called the Grey Woman, had actually come up with a great idea.

"How can I do it? How can I divert the misfortune away from us?" Darcy asked, not realizing that the misfortune had already started working on her. It had taken her father away from her.

"There will be a special woman who will show up in the land after all the monsters are gone. She’s very dear to the moon goddess. She had a hard life, a childhood that was full of neglect and torture. She still never stopped praying and praising the moon goddess, so she’s her favorite," the woman said, making Darcy sit up and roll her eyes. She hated hearing someone else was the moon goddess’ favorite. Darcy thought it should be her. She was the most beautiful and rich woman.

"Where will this woman show up from?" Darcy asked.

"From the sea. She will be a special mermaid. Her wolf side doesn’t work, so she will be a pure breed at this point. A pure mermaid," the Grey Woman replied.

"Okay, and what am I supposed to do with her?" Darcy asked.

"You have to use her womb. Every child that she bears with her fated mate will be the child that should be sacrificed for the sake of keeping the misfortune away from your family," the woman said, and Darcy began to chew on her nails. Every time she heard about the misfortune, she became very scared. She did not want to die.

"And what else?" Darcy asked.

"One baby from her, and your children will be able to live past the age of 10."
