The Cursed Human

Sarah’s p. o. v

I slowly tried to opened my eyes as warm rays of sunshine hit my face. I groaned as I turned my back towards the window and nuzzled my face in the pillow.

A rather hard pillow.

I quickly opened my eyes as bare chest blocked my view. Too afraid to look at him, I gulped down my nervousness and slowly tried to turn around. But he was not happy with my decision as he smacked his arm around my waist caging me in his embrace. A sudden realisation drawn upon me; we were naked underneath. After the wild night I had with him, moaning and growling in pleasure, that he rewarded me with, I was too embarrassed to show my face.

He nuzzled his face in my hairs as he breathed in my scent and caressed my waist with his other hand.

“You should sleep naked more often.” Lucifer whispered in my ears as I felt myself getting flushed all over. If last night wasn’t filled with embarrassment than he was making sure my day started with his dirty and snarky comments.

I felt his lips on my shoulder as he possessively squeezed my naked body. I was not ready for his morning pleasure after what he did to me last night.

The knock on the door startled me as I hear him groan in anonnyance. I felt relieved as he get up from the bed before muttering curses as he opened the door.

Like hell! He answered the door naked!

“What?!” He said irritably.

“Apologies, my lord. May we have a word with you? It’s rather urgent.” One of the guard asked from outside. Lucifer grunted before turning around and picked his pants from the floor and walked away before zipping them up.

I quickly get up and rushed to the bathroom. After taking shower and getting dressed, I waited for someone to come to me…. probably Lucifer.

Because I wanted to know when would I be allowed to roam around the library. I looked around the room as a thought crippled my senses. Maybe I could find something here in this room. I never explored it but now I could.

I cautiously move around thinking about where to start. My eye landed on drawer beside the bed and need to explore that dominated me. I walked towards the drawer before opening the cabinets.

Papers.

A strange looking watch.

And a strange looking ring.

Nothing more. I ruffled through other cabinets but didn’t get what I needed. There were limited amount of papers written in foreign languages.

My eyes widened as I heard footsteps. My body tensed up as the door opened and Lucifer stepped inside wearing his previous pants.

“What are you doing?” Blood drained from my body as I breathed out.

“I…. was… looking for…. my… clip…?”

Clip? Seriously?

He raised a curious brow before tilting his head as he walked towards me. My breathing caught as I looked at him. I knew he could sense my fear and anxiousness.

I closed my eyes tightly as he raised his hand. I felt him ruffling my hairs as he plucked something out of there.

“Here it is.” He mumbled and I opened my eyes immediately. I looked at his hand on which a black hair clip was resting. I breathed out heavily as I tried to calm myself down.

“Oh… there it is…. how silly of me?” I whispered as I snatched the clip from his hand before securing it on my head.

He smirked as he turned around to walk towards the closet door.

I sigh heavily as I thanked heavens for saving me from this savage monster.

I heard his footsteps as he walked inside the room buttoning his shirt. He walked towards me as he looked expectantly at me.

“Come with me…. I want to show you something.” He said smoothly.

I looked at him curiously.

****

H

is grip on my hand was tight as he led me through awfully familiar hallways. I bunched up my dress in my other hand so as to not trip over myself.

“Don’t make me regret it.” He said and I looked confused at him as he stopped in front of familiar wooden doors. He let go of my hand as he opened the door. My eyes enlarged as I looked inside. I stepped I side the room and looked at the massive bookshelves.

It was not like I had seen earlier, it was more cleaner and more spacious than what it was before. Shelves were filled with books as every shelf had its own name plate indicating what these books were about.

“You will find every book here…. but…” I looked at him to found him already looking at me.

“Anyways, I hope this pleases you….” I swallowed hard as I looked around all the beautiful flowers and paintings decorated the room. He looked distantly at me before turning around to leave.

“Thank you.” I said.

He stopped and slowly tuned to look at me. I looked into his sharp blue eyes before averting my gaze. He curtly nodded his head before storming out.

I sighed before turning around to gaze the beauty of the library. Alatar was not there and I was thankful for that. I wanted to investigate alone.

“Where to start?” I mumbled before looking at dozens of books laying elegantly on the shelves. My eyes landed on wooden slate which read;Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Wars Of Werewolves.

Not my cup of tea.

I moved further as I traced another slate with my fingers.

“Chronicles of Reynes.” I read out the words that were written on the slate.

I scanned every slate.

Descendants of Moon.

The curse.

Slaves of Sun.

10th century shape shifters.

Finally I read out the words I was finding.

“History.” I whispered as a smile curved on my lips. I quickly rushed towards the shelf but halted as I saw the amount of books it contained.

There were probably more than hundred books and I didn’t had that much time to read all these. I had to chose wisely.

I picked the very first book that caught my attention. The title of the books was written in foreign language but at the bottom there were words written in beautiful cursive.

“Descendants of Markus…” I read the words. Maybe this was the title…?

I picked it up and walked towards the table and made myself comfortable on the seat before opening the book. The pages were brown as words were written with black sort of ink.

King Markus, the great warrior and the first werewolf descendent of the Earth. The tales of his bravery and courage were endless as he conquered the Arendiel at the age of seventeen.

Useless.

I flipped the pages and stopped as I saw a very familiar name.

Kendrio.

There was a table in the middle of the book includes names of very familiar and shocking people.

I read the heding.

Heirs.

The first name written was “King Markus Baros, married to Princess Leona,” after her name a symbol was made which represented a…. sun. And after Markus’s name there was a sign of moon.

What does that mean?

During child birth Queen Leona was killed. And King Markus alone raised his child. But During a battle of Philistines King Markus died too, handing his kingdom to his son, Endor.

It was rumored that Queen Leona was poisoned after the child birth.

I remembered Victoria telling me about Endor’s mother dying during childbirth, there was nothing said about poisoning.

I gulped down the lump formed in my throat.

“Back in that time, Vampire King Marcellus Adamos, was jealous of King Markus because of his status in supernatural council. It is believed that Markus and Leona were in love before their marriage which was unacceptable for Marcellus.” I read out as I tried to join dots where it was going.

He believed that Vampires should marry and birthed only vampire, no two different community should breed. After warning Leona various times and getting no response in return, he planned her demise.

For proving his point, he poisoned Leona, indicating no good would come to those who would go against him.

I read the next line. “King Endor Ximen Baros, one and only descendent of King Markus and Queen Leona, married to Queen Eloise.” And after his name a sign of moon and sun was made. No sign after Eloise…. strange.

Due to genetic disease, Queen Eloise died in the late century. King Endor was further married to Princess Celeste of Illunonar.

There was no sign after her name too.

The first hybrid born to werewolf father and vampire mother, King Endor was regarded as strongest and most dangerous creature existed. The sudden death his parents created a turmoil inside him, making him avenge for their deaths.

Marcellus flew away when he came to know about Endor finding him. And rumors about Endor being the strongest and most dangerous creature alive, were spread, reaching Marcellus’s ears.

For tracking down Marcellus, Endor called upon witches of Sarl to locate Marcellus.

Victoria told me that he sought witches so that he could summon the spirits to defeat vampires of Philistine, his mother’s kingdom.

Was she lying or…. she herself was clueless?

Witches helped him to find Marcellus and demanded a portion of land in his kingdom which Endor accepted. After killing Marcellus, he full filled his promise to witches.

Wasn’t it exactly opposite of what I had heard?

I was told that witches strike back at him.

It’s getting more and more complicated with every word.

After few years, he was blessed with a son, Daniel Baros Celeste. Words spread among werewolves that witches were planning a treason against werewolves and vampires and it made Endor enraged.

He warned witches to get out of his lands before he killed them. Witches took his warning as threat and planned a attack against him.

Hybrids are strongest creatures, therefore it was impossible to kill them. Hybrids could only die by their own hands and witches knew that.

What?!

Either Victoria was lied or she lied to me…

Witches used dark magic in land of werewolves and compelled them to get away. They started dropping burn werewolves and started to draw their powers from their spirits. Prince Daniel was used as bait as Witches used him to get Endor killed. It was believed that witches forced Endor to kill himself or they would kill his son.

Endor killed himself in order to save his son. But witches didn’t stick to their words, rather they planned to take over his kingdom. But Prince Daniel was saved by the remained werewolves as it led to bloodshed of thousand of witches and werewolves.

They said Ayannah killed Endor but here it was written that Endor killed himself…? It didn’t made any sense.

Prince Daniel and other werewolves, along with his mother Celeste, fled far away. After years of running, they decide to settle down in Arendiel, the land of werewolves.

Arendiel…?

In Arendiel, Daniel build a new kingdom, far across the lands of Vampires and witches. He married the daughter of his Father’s commander, Esmeralda.

Even though, he was settled and far away, the sight of his father dying in front of his eyes haunted him even in days. The fire of vengeance was boiling inside him.

He started hunted down the witches but as time was passing witches were possessing more dark magic. A word spread that the witches had attacked a kingdom of vampires.

This made Daniel thought about ways to kill them more. For his benefit he offered his help to Vampires kingdom. The current King at that time was son of Marcellus, King Caesar.

Wit h were believed to be strongest supernatural creatures of that time, radiating and drawing their power from every source they could get. Not any children, men and women were shown mercy by them.

King Caesar Adamos accepted the alliance because of the continuous attacks on his kingdom. The hatred towards witches formed a unbreakable bond between the vampires and werewolves. The time passed and Esmeralda gave birth to a boy.

Kendrio was raised in the environment filled with hatred a d disgust towards the witches. Together, vampires and werewolves wiped the bloodline of witches nearly. But few manages to escape. Time passed and alliance turned into friendship.

Victoria told me that.

The hatred Kendrio had for witches was doing of Daniel.

I flipped onto next page.

To make their bond unbreakable and strong, Daniel and Caesar decided to change their friendship into relationship, by knotting knot between their children. Son of Daniel and daughter of Caesar.

A moon was made in front of Kendrio and a sun was made in front of Nora.

King Kendrio Finn Celeste, was married to a vampire princess, Princess Nora Adamos. And god blessed them with a son. But their happiness didn’t lasted long when the vital truth revealed itself.

Breeding between a vampire and werewolves resulted in a hybrid. It was sort of blessing to be a hybrid, the strongest but every blessing had a curse following after.

What curse?

Lucifer Ximen Celeste, first born of King Kendrio and Queen Nora, the second strongest hybrid alive. A great warrior who won every war fought against him. Unlike his great grandfather, King Endor, it is said that he couldn’t use his both sides at same time. This was a curse placed by witches on hybrids.

Endor married Aphrodite when his first wife become barren. Aphrodite birthed two children, Falcon Finn Celsete and Angelina Rose Celeste.

Queen Nora died twenty two years ago on 15 September.

Blank.

I flipped around but nothing. Next pages were completely black. There was nothing more about Lucifer.

What type of curse were they talking about?

And how did Nora died, why wasn’t it written there?

****

“You give her excess to the library?”

“I did….. and why is it any one your business?” Lucifer snarled irritated by the passing second.

“She will know”

“Wasn’t that the whole point, to make her know everything and about your past….” Lucifer said as he looked at Rafael.

“She already knew….. I guess.” Lucifer mumbled as he stared at nothing.

“She will demand answers that you are too adamant to not tell her.” Rafael said as he watched Lucifer staring at nothing.

“Six meetings and two balls, you’ve cancelled only to find her…. you know what is gossiping around, Hybrid king is admiring the girl whose parents killed his mother?” Rafael said.

“You should’ve killed her twenty one years ago…”

“And I should kill you now! You know why?! ’cause your non stop talking is fucking pushing my buttons!” Lucifer growled as he slammed his fist against the table.

Rafael looked wide wide eyed at Lucifer as he gulped down the fear.

“I’m – sorry.” Rafael stuttered as he wiped the sweat from his head.

“You should be!” He snarled.

****

“I don’t understand! Why are there no books about witches!” I groaned in frustration when I didn’t find what I was looking for.

There were vampire history but no witches. Why?

I picked the book saying Slaves of Sun.

Interesting, very interesting.

I ruffled through pages.

King Marcellus Adamos.

King Caesar Adamos.

“Nora Adamos….”

I knew about Nora being Vampire but in Werewolf history there was nothing eye catching written about her. Maybe, here I would found anything.

Daughter of Caesar Adamos. Exquisite beauty of her time. Every ruler about her age wanted to pursue her but an arrangement made by family landed her in hands of Kendrio Finn Celeste.

I scanned the whole page but nothing relevant was written about her death. Same date along with sun symbol.

Slaves of sun.

Maybe sun had something to do with vampires….? And…. moon was related to….. werewolves…? Which makes Hybrids connected to both of them! Maybe hybrids are link between vampires and werewolves….?

I flipped the pages and read the last page.

Caesar Adamos had two children, a daughter and a son, Nora Adamos and Everett Edgar Vll.

Why did it sounded familiar?

Everett had two wives, Scarlett and Zoe, both blessed with beauty and charms.

Scarlett birthed the first son, Draven Edgar Vll.

Scarlett died in late 15th century.

Oh so, Everett is Draven’s father.

And Queen Zoe was blessed with a pair of twins, Victoria Edgar Vll and Elijah Edgar Vll and two sons, Damon Edgar Vll and Matthew Edgar Vll.

Zoe was killed by Witches.

The end.

Blank pages further.

I didn’t get what I had read.

Killed by witches, but all of them were dead? Or…..

Some manage to escape….?

It was written.

And big question, Who is Elijah?
