Chapter-48
“What secret are you talking about?” Alexander asked with squinting brows, Victoria’s bitter smile, saying stories.
“I think my parents would be thrilled to tell you about that,” Victoria said before leaning her head on Ashton, who was standing the closest to her, not wanting to sit down beside her parents.
“She is talking about the secret of her birth. The secret that only her grandmother, Nelson, and I knew about.” Martha said with a sad smile.
“I think it’s about time you tell them the truth,” Nelson said, placing his hand over Martha’s shoulders in a reassuring manner.
Nodding at her husband, Martha looked at Victoria, then the rest of her three mates before sitting on the couch.
Rosaline and Theodore also joined them in the hall. Though they had many questions about their presence and many other related things, they kept quiet nonetheless, not wanting to add fuel to the already tense environment between the children.
“Honestly, Victoria wasn’t supposed to born in the first place. What I mean to say is, she is the product of a spell going wrong.” Martha said, heaving a shaky sigh, making Victoria close her eyes as she felt hurt and pained just by her mother saying those words.
“The story started when the hundred years of our relationship were completed, and I was still not able to conceive. I loved kids, and since we had betrayed our parents and I had left the throne even after knowing that I was the sole heiress of it, I was excited with the idea of having children that could take the position on the throne.
I knew that my father would forgive me when I would give him the new heir or heiress because the main concern of my father was who will inherit the kingdom. However, even after trying for so many years, I just couldn’t conceive.” Martha said before a sad smile made its way on her face.
“After finding no way out, I consulted a witch about the matter, and she told me that my powerful powers are rejecting the werewolf genes, and that’s the reason I might not able to have a child with Nelson. And maybe, I won’t ever be able to become a mother. I was devastated by the news. I knew that though Nelson was consoling me, he was broken by the news too.
After that, we went to all the powerful witches in the world apart from the dark witches to find the solution to it. I wanted to be a mother, and the fact that I won’t be able to become one was killing me. Victoria wasn’t my first child. I had become pregnant 20 times in these 800 years, and none of them worked. You can understand my desperation till now. I wanted a kid, and I was beating myself for not being able to have that capability.
It was one day when my mother was finally able to find a spell that would low down my powers and let me conceive successfully.” Martha said before looking at Victoria, her eyes tearing a bit.
Looking up in the air, Martha tried to gain control of her emotions before she started again.
“At that time, my mother was so thrilled about helping me that she took the help of the sacred books without the knowledge of my father and didn’t even check if the witches of the white world were allowed to perform that spell or not. And guess what? It was a sin for the witches of the white world to even see that spell, let alone perform it.
On the day she performed the spell, something disastrous happened. The spell demanded the sacrifice of life, and for that, she killed a female wolf that was roaming the forests. However, she was so consumed by that spell, which was because of the darkness of the spell, that she didn’t even check the wolf. That she-wolf was pregnant.” Martha said, her eyes tearing.
“The wolf had been knocked unconscious, and only when she was placed in the fire did she gained her consciousness back. The wolf was pregnant with three pups, and thus, it was the sacrifice of four souls. Before we know what was happening and she had the time to tell us, the fire had already consumed her. It was because the fire was created for the chanting of a dark spell, and thus, it 100 times more powerful than the normal fire.
It was a powerful sacrifice.
I don’t know what happened after that because the fire was so powerful that I was knocked unconscious because of that. However, grandma told me that the spell was successful, but before dying, that wolf cursed me.” Martha said, breaking into tears, making Nelson look at her with concern. However, they knew that this story needed to be completed thus, he stood and continued the story.
