Davy Jones Before Curse Novels & Stories

“I know what it says, but I did with her and her alone.” “How is that possible?” She asked, leaning over the table again as if trying to keep the secret between them. Jason shrugged again. “I don’t know. Dan claims he went to the voodoo princess and she told him there were no loopholes.” Janet sucked in her teeth. “You talked to Dan about it, seriously? That motherfucker tells so many lies he doesn’t even remember which are true anymore. You should’ve went to the voodoo princess yourself.” Jason looked down at the table. “I’m afraid if I do she might recast the curse and then I won’t be able to come at all again.”

They placed around the wooden table with wooden models of the various devices. I picked up one of the drawings, which looked like a familiar building. At the far end of the page had a signature of someone named Josephine D. Suddenly a burst of light bathed through the room. Octavia had managed to breathe life into the fireplace at last. "Impressive," I said. "You could make fire like a cavewoman."

It was the day we would lay my daughter to rest, but without her remains, all I had was one of her little shoes. I carefully polished it until it was spotless before placing it into the urn along with the protective charm I had prayed over. ‘Celeste, it’s Mommy’s fault. I failed to protect you. Back then, your father agreed to take us on a family trip to the seaside. You were so excited that you couldn’t sleep all night.’ “When I come back, I can finally tell my friends that Daddy took me to build sandcastles and collect seashells at the beach!”

"Just passing through. Or I was. Name's Zevi Korrin, Gamma of Hollowcliff. Traveling under the radar. You're not supposed to know that." Her eyes widened. Another mate. Another piece of the curse clicking into place. Before she could speak, a branch snapped behind them. "Veyra!" Jon's voice rang through the trees. She turned sharply. "Jon! Over here!" He rushed into view, sword drawn. His eyes locked on Zevi, and his wolf surged forward in warning. "Get away from her!" Jon snarled, stepping in front of her. Zevi raised both hands. "Hey, hey—easy. Not here to hurt anyone. In fact, I just saved your sister from a rabid rogue."

I would have been sad even after death if my family wouldn't be able to see my last breath. The door of the wardroom opened once again and a quite busy-looking nurse came inside. She handed over a pendant in my hands telling me that it fell from my dress and one of the ward boys tried to steal it. Now they have caught the ward boy and so she was returning it to me. Well it's good they caught a thief but the pendant wasn't mine and before I could explain this. She left the room in hurry.

I'd made it through all of that, proven I was stronger than the mere omega they knew me to be, I have proven I could survive anything. And now someone here wanted me dead too. Was I cursed? Destined to always be unwanted? Always be thrown away like garbage? First my own mate chose my sister over me when I was carrying his heir. Now someone in this castle wanted me gone. What had I done wrong this time? What crime was I paying for? Maybe Garrick was right, maybe I really was nothing, maybe I deserved all this pain. The darkness crept closer, my heart slowed. Was this how it ended? Not in battle, but poisoned like a rat in the shadows?

It was one of the reasons I kept him close and also, occasionally, one of the reasons I found him exhausting. I stopped walking. He stopped too, looking at me, waiting. "Have you noticed something?" I said. He frowned slightly. "What?" "The ground," I said. "That sound it makes. That deep, low vibration that runs through the floor of the east wing every few days." I looked at him. "It hasn't happened once since she arrived this morning." Riven was quiet for a second. "So?" he said, but his voice had lost some of its certainty. "So the stories are true," I said. "The curse was never one-sided. It was never just something the Vales carried. We carry our half of it too, and we need them to surv

"Inside you?" He didn't answer. Instead, he looked toward the grand hall doors, his voice lowering to a whisper. "Someone else was here before it all happened. Lorenzo." Romeo tensed. "You saw him?" Luca nodded once. "He said he was breaking the curse. But I think he lied. He wanted this to happen." Daisy stepped closer. "Lorenzo's dying, Luca. He said he unleashed something he couldn't control." Luca's jaw clenched. "Then he'll tell me how to undo it—before it kills her."

He's been calling since Vanessa left, probably heard about what happened through pack gossip. I answer before I can talk myself out of it. "Sonya, thank goddess." Derek sounds eased. "Are you okay? I heard Vanessa showed up at Reign's estate and there was a scene." "News travels fast, huh." "It's a pack. Of course it does." He goes quiet for a second. "Is it true? About the curse?" "Apparently." I flop back on my bed, staring at the ceiling. "Did you know?" "I knew there was a curse. I didn't know about the Moon Goddess bloodline thing or that you were the cure." His voice softens. "I'm sorry, Sonya. Reign should've told you."

Andrea had just said he needed me, in what possible way I thought to myself. "Whatever you need, within my capabilities, I will be able to help you; you have done a lot for me," I said, staring right into his eyes. He held my gaze for a while and finally looked away, then he started. "It was a full moon that night; the mating ceremony was done and concluded, and my mate was in the room waiting for me. Suddenly, Davin started reacting.” “Things got out of control with Davin, and he had this urge to kill; it was so intense, and I couldn't control it. He killed her. I knew I was cursed, but I didn't know the curse would affect my mate.”
