Chapter 735: 735-Mating Was A Sin On Mate Full Moon Night
Author’s POV:noveldrama
"Darcy, what’s wrong?" Her husband, Lord McQuoid, entered the room. They had gotten married just a few months ago. Although wars were happening outside their packs, they still managed to keep their relationship strong. The two had been fated mates for a very long time. They were also high school sweethearts too.
Darcy came from a large pack. Her father was an alpha king, whereas Lord McQuoid had only been the alpha of a much smaller pack on the verge of collapse. Though the land was rich, it bordered the most dangerous part of the rogue community. Whatever monsters lurked there were bound to destroy it eventually. They had already gathered the remaining pack members and moved them to Darcy’s father’s territory. Her father had since transferred his crown to Lord McQuoid, making him the new alpha king.
"You’ve been quiet for a while," Lord McQuoid said as he reached her, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. And he wasn’t wrong. She had been unusually silent.
But Lord McQuoid didn’t have to wait for an answer. He glanced over her shoulder and saw what she was holding. It was a pregnancy test.
She slowly lifted her head, eyes brimming with tears.
"Darcy, no," he whispered, already looking devastated by the news.
"But why not? We were trying so hard. Look—it finally happened," she said, standing up quickly to hold his hands. She could sense the panic in his eyes.
"But Darcy, we’re not supposed to conceive on the mate full moon night. You know it’s cursed. It’s not something to celebrate," Lord McQuoid warned her, reminding her that one mistake could bring great consequences.
"Who says it’s a cursed night?" she asked.
"The Moon Goddess. Don’t we know that?"
"But people celebrate this night with dinners and parties," Darcy argued, trying to reassure him. To her, it felt like a blessed night. They had tried to conceive before without success. But the moment he climaxed inside her on the mate full moon night, she got pregnant. To her, it was a divine sign.
"Darcy, people celebrate it so they don’t have time to mate. It’s only a few hours, and we couldn’t even control ourselves during that short window," Lord McQuoid hissed, stepping away from her and pacing the room.
He didn’t want to bring up how she had gotten him drunk that night just so they could sleep together. If he had been sober, he wouldn’t have gone through with it. But he also knew that reminding her of this would only make her cry again like she always did when confronted. She had been spoiled all her life, a daddy’s princess, and always got her way.
"You’re not getting it. How can it be a cursed night if it gave us a child? Every doctor said I could never conceive. They said it would be nearly impossible, but look, that night made it happen. Doesn’t that mean something?" she argued, her voice sharper now.
He stared at her, his heart aching. The child growing inside her was his, and calling it a curse over and over was tearing him apart.
"Darcy, I will speak to the Holy Mother and see what she says," he replied, watching her expression harden.
"The Holy Mother? Where did she come from?" she scoffed.
The Holy Mother had been a revered figure for generations. She was one of the purest women, someone who never married, was never touched, and had dedicated her life to praying to the Moon Goddess. After one Holy Mother passed, the Moon Goddess would choose another. The current Holy Mother was a 65-year-old woman who had held her position since she was 19 and was deeply respected by every pack.
"No, I don’t want you to talk to some old woman who’s lost her mind and lives in a cave in the rogue community. How do you expect me to trust anything she says? And what’s there to even talk about? It’s not like we’re giving up our baby!" she hissed, watching him shake his head.
"The Holy Mother lives in the rogue territory for a reason. Even the monsters don’t harm her. Doesn’t that tell you how sacred she is?" he argued.
Lord McQuoid was deeply spiritual, far more connected to the Moon Goddess than Darcy. She only believed in herself. When she wanted something, she made sure she got it.
Lord McQuoid arranged a car for the journey. Although Darcy didn’t want to go, she insisted on accompanying him just so she could hear for herself what the cunning woman would say.
They traveled with several warriors to protect them. The rogue community was a dangerous place. When they arrived, the Holy Mother was already waiting. She had lit candles and placed two cushions on the cave floor. She had no luxuries and refused any offers to her, even when pack alphas wanted her to live in luxury.
"It seems like you already knew we were coming," Lord McQuoid joked. He used to visit her often before marrying Darcy, but Darcy had since refused to let him go alone.
"Yes, my child, I knew," she said. Her hair was entirely gray. She was small and frail, wrapped in a brown cloth. When she looked at Darcy, the smile faded from her face. She didn’t want to upset Lord McQuoid, but she could already sense the negativity in his mate.
"Please, have a seat," she said.
Darcy looked around. "Where’s the damn seat?" she muttered under her breath, earning a sharp glare from Lord McQuoid. She finally sat on the cushion, acting as if it were beneath her.
"We’ve come to speak with you," Lord McQuoid began.
"I know, my child. I know your mate is pregnant, and it is a child conceived on the mate full moon night."
Darcy’s eyes widened in shock. No one else knew. They had only discovered it a few hours earlier. There was no way the Holy Mother could have known.
And then she said the words that made their blood run cold.
"You have brought upon yourselves a lifetime of misfortune. Not only you, but everyone connected to you will suffer. Every time you think you’ve found happiness, it will be taken from you."
