The Captains Wife

Chapter 4

Meliodas POV

I am just reeling in shock. One moment I was about to get murdered by my brother, and the next my wife that I thought was dead saved me. Not being strong enough to protect her was and still is my biggest regret of my life. Nothing hurt as bad as when I was told she had died.

The curse on Elizabeth and I was put on me because my father thought I deserved to live with that pain for eternity, and I was going to just let it. However losing Elizabeth doesn't amount to what it feels like to lose Serena.

Not to mention that I am a father. Not only that but I was a part of my sons life, of course without knowing but I was still in his life when his mom wasn't able to be. I think I always gravitated towards Gilthunder as a mentor because he reminded me so much of Serena and now it makes perfect sense.

The lengths she went to, to protect our son amazes me. The one thing she always wanted to be was to be a mom, and I always knew she was going to be an amazing mom. She suffered for every day for 3,000 plus years all for our son. All for our family. She is a queen that is a true ruler. You should never cross her family line and her kingdom is included in that.

Now I am facing the confusion in my head. Because of the curse I am drawn to Elizabeth and now I am understanding that my father did that on purpose. So if Serena and I were ever  reunited there would always be an obstacle to hurtle. I obviously want to restart with my wife, after all she is my true mate, however I do not think that I am going to be able to do that until I free myself and Elizabeth from this curse. Elizabeth deserve peace as well.

Before I can think to much I am pulled out of my thoughts by hearing King ask "Is it true that you are the queen of the siren race?"

Serena smiles at him and says "Yes it is true, and I was actually really good friends with the first fairy king."

"So if that's true then why did it seem like the siren race was just a myth?" King asks which makes sense because if you weren't alive when they were thriving you won't know how truly magnificent they are.

"Well unlike the other races our race have a very close bond with each other. It doesn't matter if they are blood related or not everyone takes care of everyone. Because of the bond my people can sense when I am in true danger. When the sense overtakes their own senses then we have a protocol that we follow which is to go into hiding. My people were not extinct. They were thriving, just not anywhere anyone could reach them." Serena explains in a gentle tone.

"May I ask about the song that you sang?" Arthur asks with a small grin on his face.

"Ooh I can answer that one. Sirens have many abilities but one of their most known abilities is their voice. Serena has the power to control people if she wished with her voice because they would find it so alluring. However, she never uses her voice like that unless it is absolutely necessary. Sirens also have the abilities to regenerate just like demons do. Since her and I have a connection the song that she wrote for me and sang just a little bit ago will heal everyone I hold dear to me. She has songs like that for everyone she holds dear to her. Sirens are an incredible race." I say with a small smile on my face.

"Meliodas is right. We have many great abilities, but I would like to keep the rest of them a secret. As the queen of a race I need for our attacks and defense to be a surprise. Even when I married Meliodas all those years ago, I still kept the siren race separate from anyone else other than Meliodas." Serena explains with a small gentle smile on her face.

"Is Gilthunder really your son?" Arthur asks in a nervous tone.

"Of course he is. I gave birth to him by myself. I would never forget his perfect face." Serena says with her voice filled with love.
