Chapter-49
Taking a deep breath, he placed a hand over his wife\'s shoulder to console her before he stood and continued the story that his wife started.
“The curse was for our child, to be precise. She cursed that our child will lead one of the most painful life in the world, and our child would suffer in the pain just like that wolf did. It was the same reason why Victoria was punished so hardly in that sacrifice spell. She is paying for our karma. For the sins that we did.” Nelson said.
“The curse you are talking about, it’s not so short, right? There is more to it, right?” Neptune said, his eyes softening when he noticed the ray of tear that fell from Victoria’s eyes.
“You are right. Everything that has been happening with her is part of that curse. How she wasn’t able to live with us and gain her parent’s love, just like how those kids weren’t able to gain their parent\'s love. How she suffered so much in that sacrifice, the way her child was sacrificed in that spell. The reason why she is having four souls in her body, and the reason why she is struggling so much to get the love of her loved one. It’s all because of that curse only. And it doesn’t end here.” Nelson said, taking a deep breath.
“What do you mean that it doesn’t end here? What more is left? What all have you written in the life of your daughter with your ignorance?” Ashton said, getting angry while Alexander was too shocked to react.
He doesn’t know why, but he felt like the female wolf they were talking about was the rogue that Robert’s father had raped and left in the forest alone. After which he was exiled.
He had heard from his father once that the rogue wolf that Robert’s father Leonardo had raped went away just like that, and after they searched for months as it was questioning the royal family, they found her burnt body, and only then did they came to know that she was pregnant with three pups, and if not for her death, those pups would\'ve considered royalty because of royal blood in them.
So it wasn’t the sacrifice of just normal pups. It was the sacrifice of royal wolves.
“I am not sure about it, but I think the infamous curse of three souls that is also called the curse of the cursed girl will also take place,” Nelson said, and Neptune, who had been looking at Victoria with saddened eyes, immediately looked at Nelson as if he had grown two heads.
“Are you insane? Do you even know what that spell is for you to blabber about it like this? Do you even know what that spell is and how powerful it is?” Daniel Neptune shouted at Nelson, knowing that he was just a former werewolf king who doesn’t know much about the world of witches and their spells.
Turning to look at Martha, he gazed at her, waiting for her reply in the matter, however, when she didn’t make any comment to reject the statement, he couldn’t help but look at both of them as if they both were insane.
“How can that happen? Wasn’t that spell just a random blabber of an old witch? Who knows if that spell is even true or not, “ Neptune said, but now that Nelson had mentioned this, he was somewhat scared of that curse.
Here, Neptune was going crazy over the new piece of news while Alexander and Ashton looked at him, not knowing what to say as they didn’t understand what this curse was all about and why Neptune was worrying so much about it.
However, unaffected by all of this, Victoria was still lost in her trail of thoughts.
Rosaline and Theodore, on the other hand, were finally getting a grip on the situation, and couldn’t help but look at Victoria pitifully.
Just how much this girl has suffered because of her parents’ ignorance, and just how much is she going to suffer more? They both thought before looking at each other with a sigh.
Everyone was lost in their trail of thoughts when they heard a sad cold laugh in the air, coming from in front of them.
"I think the story is yet to be completed. You didn’t mention all of it, did you? That\'s not the whole truth," Victoria said before laughing mockingly.
"You hated me when I was born, right? You hated me that it was me, who was born from you. You never wanted m to born, right?" She said, her question directed to her mother.
"What do you mean, Victoria? I never hated you." Martha said, hesitating at the end as if already understanding what she was talking about.
"You did. That was the main reason why you tried to kill me just after I was born. You didn\'t tell father about it, did you?" Victoria asked, her words shocking Nelson, who looked at Martha with a shocked gaze.
"You tried to kill me because my birth reminded you of the illegal unethical spell that you guys did. It reminded you of the four lives that you took, right? It reminded you of the pregnant wolf you killed. It reminded you of your greedy self. It reminded you of how self-centered, evil, and cunning witch you were at the time when you killed that wolf. You hated that you became a selfish and evil witch, something you never wanted to. And I was a living reminder of all of it. So, you couldn’t bear the sight of it. Am I right? " Victoria said, standing straight now.
"You tried to kill me when I was born. However, because of my birth and most of your powers transferring and merging with mine, you were not powerful enough to kill me.
Then, you came to know that I was a hybrid after Grandma Azrael came to meet me. And you thought, why take the blame for killing your daughter when Christopher can do it perfectly in the name of killing the illegally born hybrid. Am I right?" Victoria said with a cold look on her face, though deep down, she was feeling sorrowful.
"This isn\'t true at all. I had indeed tried to kill you once because I was afraid that the curse will ruin your life anyway, and it\'s better to free you from the cursed life rather than making your life a living hell that you are living now. I am sorry for that, okay? I am sorry for trying to kill you, but I never tried to do it because of the reasons you mentioned. I am sorry." Martha shouted, her words shocking Nelson more and more before she fell on her knees and started sobbing.
Each tear creating a small fire on the ground before disappearing.
"Honestly, I wasn\'t sure if it was true or just my illusion when I had seen those images two years back when Azrael tried to make me believe that I was a witch. But, now that you have confirmed it for me, I feel better.
I didn\'t want to live in false hopes and lies anymore.
At least now I know why you never contacted me. If grandma Azrael could come and go without leaving a trace, I am sure she would\'ve told you about it too if you would\'ve asked her. However, you never tried because you were afraid. You were afraid that one day I’ll come to know about the truth and I\'ll loath you.
You were afraid to face your daughter, who you had once tried to kill." Victoria ended before swirling her hand in the air and bringing a chair out of the blue to sit on.
Her words piercing Martha more and more, who just kept on shaking her head in denial.
Nelson, on the other hand, just looked at his wife, not sure what to say anymore. There were soo many things that he came to know after twenty years, and he wasn\'t even sure anymore if he still knows the whole truth.
"I understand your concerns and fears. And I forgive you." Victoria said after taking a deep breath, her words shocking both Martha and Nelson.
“I am sorry, mom and dad, for being so rude to you. I knew only half of the truth, and thus, to know the whole of it I was acting like this. I am sorry for making you cry. Please forgive me.” Victoria said, with a soft sigh.
“Won’t you guys hug your daughter even after twenty years of separation? I mean, I know you disliked me at a time, but now that I am alive, you can hug me, right?” Victoria said with a sheepish smile, making Martha and Nelson stand and hug her tightly, almost squeezing the life out of her.
“Well, is this a new way to squeeze the life out of me?” Victoria asked, making all of them chuckle at her choice of words before both of them released her.
“You are such a bad daughter, Victoria.” Ashton joked, making all of them chuckle when Victoria agreed to it with a sheepish smile.
