Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates

Chapter 740: 740-Life Of Pain

Author’s POV:

"If you did not do it while they are ten, after they touch ten, they will start dying."

The Grey woman made Darcy’s eyes widen.

"I don’t want my children to die. I will do it. But then, after I sacrifice her one child, will I be fine?" Darcy asked. She was curious how it would work and how she would know that it worked.

"You will have to throw her children into the well of sacrifice. And for you to know it worked, the well will start drying up after blood comes out of its water. That’s when you will know that it has worked. However, after some time, the water will fill up again. And then you will have to make another sacrifice," the woman explained.

"How will the water fill up again? And why?" she asked, worried how long before she would finally have her happiness.

"Because you know, if it was that easy, everybody would have tried that special mermaid and her mate. It’s going to be risky, bearing so many children when you’re not supposed to. Some difficulties might come," the Grey Woman said, making Darcy sob silently.

"Then what will happen next?" Darcy asked, confused, because she could not kidnap a woman and then keep her for so long without her dying or taking her own life.

"Then what? The next time, it will be her special daughter," the Grey Woman said.

Darcy frowned.

"The offspring of the special daughter could be sacrificed to finally break the curse that your sons will suffer because of your disobedience. The misfortune will finally go away and your sons will live happily with their fated mates. But remember, this woman’s child must have a baby with her fated mate, and only that child should be sacrificed." The Grey Woman told Darcy, and she began to tap her finger on her chin.

The moon goddess watched everything, and that was when she planned something of her own. She decided to make that special child her own son’s fated mate, and not just one, but all of them. However, the moon goddess did not know that the special child would fall in love with the mates and even want to save them. But that wasn’t the problem. Her anger was toward Darcy, the woman who thought she could be the next moon goddess and change the rules around. She thought she was deserving enough to decide who should live and who should die.

Darcy was happy. After Norman, she slept with her mate again on the next mate mateful moon. They had Emmet, then Maximus. But then she began to worry about the curses. What if she could not find that woman?

But she did. She had her men all around the rogue community. That was when one of her men, Niles in specific, informed her that he had found a mermaid, just like the Grey Woman had said. He trapped her in his love, took her to his pack, and then he sold her to Darcy. They made the sacrifices and finally they were able to dry the well that was going to fill up very soon. She saw the blood come out of the corners of the well, and then it just dried down.

But she knew she could not stay happy for too long. Sadly, Ursula’s fated mate passed away, and she could not have another child with him. So she decided to wait for Ursula to have a chosen mate. The Grey Woman had told her that a chosen mate wouldn’t do it, but she didn’t care.

’I am so glad I was able to break the misfortune. I mean, it is only temporary, but once she finds her chosen mate—" Darcy was excitedly speaking to the Grey Woman on the call when her husband arrived and heard that she had lied about the misfortune being gone. Darcy put her phone down and straightened her back.

"Why would you lie about such a thing?" he screamed at her, confused how a mother could bring offspring into the world knowing they would be punished for her sins.

"I am fixing everything so you don’t have to intervene," she yelled at Lord McQuoid.

"Tell me something. Did you do something to get her killed?" Lord McQuoid mentioned the Holy Mother, and Darcy started to shake her head.

"No, I did not. I only lied about the things that she said. That is it. I don’t know why the Zharns came and attacked her. I have no clue. But the rest of it is the truth. I only hid the part from you. And I am telling you I’ll fix it. I found a seer and she told me that the misfortune will be gone in some time."

She obviously was now yapping, and she would never tell her mate what sacrifices she was making.

"You know what? We are leaving," Lord McQuoid said, and her eyes widened.

"What?" she asked, confused. noveldrama

"As you know, the monsters have been taken care of. I no longer want to be an Alpha King of a pack." As soon as he said that, Darcy’s face started to fade.

"Why? I did it so that we could stay as the most powerful people in the world. We have four children, and they are all fine. Look at them now." She had just arrived after she sacrificed Ursula’s baby, and Kaye was fine now. Although he used to be in a lot of pain, because the more babies she was going to have, the more the later ones would show signs of being affected because of being conceived on that night.

"No, and that is why we have to leave. It is your punishment from my side, for lying to me. You will no longer get what you wanted. You wanted them to have a strong world where they could rule. So if you want to stay with me, you will leave this world behind," he stated, watching her gasp and get up.

"You want to leave the luxuries behind? Why are you punishing your babies?" she screamed. All this she had done for power, and so her sons could later take the North, South, West, and East. And now he wanted to intervene and ruin her dreams, which had made her commit so many crimes.

"You heard me, Darcy. If you want me on your side," he warned her.

And then she had to give in. They left the pack life. Although she was not happy, she did not want to leave her husband either. She even loved her husband more than her children. Her children were just a staircase to the path to power, to secure the crown over her head. But her husband was the love of her life.

So she sadly walked out, and there was only one place they could live in. It was an old abandoned building that they started to fix. Then her husband planned to start an academy so their sons could help others fight and learn to defend themselves at the same time. Do something good, and maybe the moon goddess would forgive the sin and help them out of the misfortune.
