Logan POV . . If only I could tell her, I already knew her secret. If only I could tell her that she had revealed everything when she was drunk. The only missing was the shifting part. If only! However, I didn't want to hasten the time. It was now a great chance to see her not buried six feet under. It was the best gift I had ever received in my life. There was just one big problem here. That Alpha Mutt! I saw what he did. He was enjoying his time making fun of me in the presence of that human girl at dinner. He knew I couldn't just unleash Thorin in front of Jaque's friend. He was taking advantage of my patience. But his celebration would be over soon. "My king, you called me!" Indeed. I called you, mutt. "Do you need anything?" I was sitting on my throne inside the library near the fireplace. In my right hand was a glass of brandy. This mutt was standing behind me. I couldn't see his face, but I could feel his aversion. I let him wait for a while. I gradually sip
Adam POV . . King or not, he had no right to impose his position on me when it came to her. Whether she was Jaque in the past or Lily in the present, I would do everything to correct the mistake I had made to her. I thought Goddess Diana gave me this second chance to make things right. Six years ago, when the news of her sudden death spread like wildfire in the werewolf clan, I made the final decision to end my mistake and regrets. Under the full moon, in the forest, I talked to my future Luna, my chosen mate. She was ecstatic that she even brought a secret crew to film whatever the f*cking things she thought I would be doing. She thought I was going to propose. These werewolves who hid behind the giant plants even asked an expert, the pack's doctor, to coat their scents from me. Jasmine planned everything well. She planned for everything except for one thing. She didn't see that coming. That night, under the embrace of the full moon, her rejection from me as her chosen
Jaque POV . . These as$holes had gotten the nerve to create trouble, totally ignoring the presence of a human in their place. They had high positions and power in the kingdom and their pack, but they also had tiny brains. I was in the forest at that time. Shiva was supposed to run and just had the best night she could ever have. I had never unleashed her for weeks now. As a she-wolf, it would not be good for both of us if I would not let her out at least once in a while. We were both having a wonderful night. Shiva's snout was slapping the leaves blocking her path as she ran at full speed. The winter breeze was freezing, but my wolf embraced the cold. She missed this. She loved this. She wanted to do this over and over again. I fully remembered well that she was thrilled, jumping on the rocks and digging the soil with her paws. Shiva even shouted in her wolf language, 'This is what we call life. Full of freedom. Full of fun!' I laughed with her joy. Supported her freed
Jaque POV . . I needed some rest, both physically and mentally. I was exhausted and worn out. I was in my room at the moment, and Ayesha went out somewhere. She said it was something important and hadn't come back yet. I glanced at my phone on the side table and pondered if should I call Witch Anya or just mind-link her. It had been five days and four nights since the last time I had seen her. I missed her a lot already. Ahhh! I had decided. I took my phone and looked for her number. "Hello!" Her crisp, joyful voice emerged on the other line. "Mom, I miss you!" I told her. My tone was like a little girl who needed the embrace of her mother. This might be the effect of losing a mom at an early age. I sniffed a little, too. "Honey, are you alright?" Witch Anya suddenly got worried. "Hmm!" I shortly replied. I started narrating everything that happened since I left, and she was cracking up with laughter when I told her about the two retarded jerks. "They must have b
Jaque POV . . Logan was still sleeping when I stealthily crept out of his room. It was still early in the morning when I prepared my backpack and told Kyle that I was going to my place today and would come back tomorrow evening. "Miss Khan didn't arrive yet, Miss Swanson. What if something happened to everyone here?" Kyle was adamant for me to leave, but he had no choice. What dangerous thing could have happened in my absence? Besides, they could take care of themselves better than I could. They were werewolves for goddess' sake. "Mr. Davis can walk now, and Pablo started patrolling yesterday, Kyle. I mean, Kyle, right? Jackson told me that's your name." "Yes, ma'am. My name is Kyle!" He repeated. There was uncertainty in his tone, thinking I might be just lying when I asked. I could never betray my gamma. Kyle was my man's best friend in the kingdom, and he had always shielded me from danger before. He could tell when I was hiding something or lying. "Okay. Also, Mr.
Jaque POV . . "Glad you remember your big brother!" Alaric smirked. "So, it is true that you came to my place of fortitude and tranquility. If my servant had not seen you at the hospital, I would not have known that you've been in Yorkshire for a long time!" "You have a servant at the hospital where I work?!" The first person that came into my mind was Nurse Amor since she was hostile to me from the very start, and she also acted weird most of the time. "Great! Now that we're all here, let's celebrate. How about a grand reunion?" Sarcasm was spreading like dust in the wind with the words I spoke, making their smirking faces disappear. "Oh! But wait! Where's our witch sister? I've heard she is with you?" "Still recuperating. Thanks to your ex-mate. She almost lost her arm!" Collen butted in. Alaric glanced over his shoulder to warn him. I recalled that our eldest didn't want to be cut off when he talked. Collen should have forgotten about that. "I'm sorry, brother!" Collen w
Jaque POV . . "Logan, listen to me!" I spoke to him while he was in his wolf form. However, he kept snarling at me. "Thorin, you are being controlled. I am your mate!" I told him as I tried to touch his snout, but he just growled at me and stepped back. He was gradually moving in circles while his gaze never left me. He was snarling at me like I was his prey. What should I do now? I was telling him we were mates, but because I marked my scent, he couldn't scent me. He couldn't recognize me. Thorin was awakened. There was only one thing I had to do, and I had no choice at all. In the middle of the road, I tried to focus, aligned all of my strength in the nucleus, and breathed deeply. I let go of Shiva without the force of jumping in the air. I unleashed my wolf as the soft white fur on my skin appeared. My claws protruded, and my fangs elongated. In a swift, Shiva faced Thorin with all her beauty and might. She growled at her mate, annoyed that he couldn't still recognize
Logan POV . . I groaned. I felt like my head was splitting in half. I was in my room with my shirt on. But I remembered I was naked and Jaque was with me. We made love together last night. She screamed my name out loud, and it was music to my ears. A smile of satisfaction appeared from the corner of my lips upon recalling how many times she c*mmed. D*mn, my d*ck twitched, imagining the sweet scent of her p*ssy. I drank all of her juice alone. It was mine, and I didn't want to share it with anybody. Jaque was mine and mine alone. The door of my room slightly opened, and Jackson's face came into view. "Glad you're awake, My King!" He seemed reluctant to enter. I creased my eyebrows, hearing how he called me. "What's the matter with you? Are you alright?" I asked, confused. However, when he smiled and strode toward my bed, I heaved a sigh of relief. "You scared me, bro. You know you can call me Logan if it's just the two of us!" I got up, and the duvet that was hugging me ro
Jackson POV . . 'Beta, deranged wolves are everywhere, and they seem to be increasing in numbers!' One of the chosen warriors had just mind-linked me. He was at the north border of the kingdom. That was the back of the palace and had the least strong protection. Although Alpha Cillian and Victoria were with them, I felt like the shields were not enough. 'Protect the kingdom at all costs. Don't let those deranged wolves bite or even scratch you. Do you understand?' I mind-linked everyone. I was on the frontline, shielding the south borders. Alpha Adam and Alpha Dylan were on the east. The East was the first that was attacked by these raving mad wolves. While Beta Andrew and Collen led the protection on the West borders, these wolves were indeed increasing in numbers. 'The witches are spreading!' My brother-in-law, Beta Andrew, mind-linked all of us. That was bad news. If the witches were spreading in the kingdom, it only meant one thing. The wolves at the borders could no lo
Logan POV . . After four months... My temples seemed to be splitting in half. I groaned at the pain I felt upon moving. I felt like a huge brick was on top of me, pressing me on this soft bed. 'Where are we, Thorin?' I asked my wolf. 'Whose room is this?' I kept asking my wolf, who was lying quietly in the corner. 'Thorin, are you alright?' "Finally, you're awake!" When the door swung open, Alaric's relief expression covered the frame. "Logan, I even thought that f*cker Lycus had defeated you just like that!" He snapped his fingers as he walked to my side. "How do you feel now?" He then asked, seriously. "Still in pain. Where am I?" I sternly asked. I felt like I had been sleeping for years. "You're in my castle, of course. The wolves don't know that I brought you here. If they find out that you are wounded and almost on the brink of dying, they will attack your kingdom. Although your Beta is doing a great job filling your empty throne for a while. Also, your most hated
Demeter POV . . The s*x was great! I had to admit, this was the best I had ever had since I came down to Earth. I had my first when I was just nineteen and with a human. I had lived with them for a long time. I hid and covered my scent so my fellow wolves and the vampires would not notice me. Why did I do this? Why did I choose to live with the humans? I was the sister of one of the most terrifying wolves in the realms. Thorin was the majestic one, and I was his opposite. Our nannies, the ones we grew up with, had a hard time taking care of me and teaching me how to be prim and proper. I was always the back sheep in the family. I was never happy in the realm, so I asked for help from Alaric to find the doorway to the human world. Alaric knew how I was suffering mentally in that realm. The place was magnificent, but it wasn't the right place for me. I hated rules! I felt the heaviness on top of me lifted when he rolled to my side. We were both gasping and were just st
Andrew POV . . "Where are you taking me, you a$$hole!" She was screaming in anger. Her fists kept landing on my back. I had to admit, she hit like a male wolf. "I said, shvt up!" One hit on my back, one whoop on her a$$. "Keep on hitting me, she-wolf. I will keep on whooping your a$$. I am pretty sure you love that!" "Never! You are nothing but a pain in the a$$. Put me down. You're going to pay for this!" She kept on struggling, but I held her firm. I was going to teach this she-wolf a lesson she would never forget. We were heading to the packhouse. I had my own room there. It was on the top floor and just across from Adam's room. This she-wolf's room was also in the packhouse, but it was on the second floor. I strode straight to the 3rd. floor when she hit me again. "Hey! My room is on the second floor!" We were now on the fourth floor when she noticed I was heading to the top floor. "Put me down. I don't want to go to your room!" Yeah, sure! "I told you. You need
Andrew POV . . 'Can't that wait, Beta? I am in the middle of something now!' I heard the voice of Adam at the back of my head, a tad bit aggressive and threatening. I got confused for a while. When did my best friend set aside his work for whatever something he was doing at the moment? He would never neglect any task, especially when it came to something important... and I just said that I had to report something. 'Adam, this is very important. It is about the three alpha-less packs!' I insisted. I stressed the word alpha-less to juggle his mind just in case he forgot about it. 'D*mn it, Andrew. Give me an hour or two break. Just this one!' I heard a slamming on something. Was he upset? Did he just slam his desk because of me? 'Adam, the packs need the council leader's attention. They ~' I halted in my words. My wolf hearing was loud, and it just caught something inside. I sniffed, using my wolf senses. I could smell something familiar. It was a sweet scent, and it also h
Adam POV . . After a week, today was my first time taking my seat on the council. I didn't use the former office of the dead council leader. I told the wolves there that I would be renovating the stockroom to be my temporary office. With the help of my warriors, we were able to fix and clean the office. Now, it looked like the one I had at the packhouse. I appointed my delta to help me with the paperwork here since Andrew would be busy with the Blood Moon Pack. "Marco, give me updates on all of the kingdom's packs both in the US and England." That was my first command. Delta Marco's desk was next to my desk. He also had his own laptop and a printer beside his desk. "Yes, Alpha!" He searched for the kingdom's pack on Microsoft Excel. "Alpha, they are all updated except for the three packs that are led by the former council leaders. What are we going to do with them?" He furrowed his brows at me, the same feelings I had, these three packs should have alphas to assist them.
Adam POV . . "D*mn, what are we going to do now?" Alpha Dylan asked after explaining everything to him. "Do we need to find him?" He sat on a single chair while glancing at everyone. Princess Amira, Andrew, and the Luna of Amos were also waiting for someone to answer that essential question. "Beta Jackson and Kelly have to do their job for a while. Now that the council is gone, all of the work falls under Beta Jackson's shoulders!" I responded. "He needs somebody who can help him do at least half of the job. What about you, Alpha Adam? I think you are the most qualified one to take Alpha Amos' job!" Alpha Dylan's suggestions made me stop and think for a moment. I didn't see that suggestion coming. "I can't just take the leader of the council's job without the kingdom's beta's approval. I wanted to help him, but this kingdom consists of more than twenty packs in this country. King Logan is also the king of the wolves in England. Right now, we are at war, and ~" "And you a
Adam POV . . It was already dark when I arrived at the pack. I saw Andrew facing back and forth at the entrance. I got out of the car after parking it in the garage. "Beta Andrew, what's the matter?" I asked. I could see that he was worried and scared. "Adam, Jaque isn't awake yet. Demeter has done everything she could, but she is still unconscious!" Andrew reported. "Where is her room?" I immediately strode to the second floor of the mansion. "Tell me what happened here while I was gone!" "Orora brought Jaque to one of the guestrooms on the third floor. Demeter has been tending her nonstop, but she couldn't wake up!" "She couldn't wake up, or she was too weak to wake up?!" I asked, clarifying things from his words. "Demeter said she couldn't. She was just exhausted, but what baffled her was ~" "Tell me, Andrew. You know I don't want to be kept in the dark!" I told him as I stopped in front of Jaque's room. I was a little bit upset. "When Orora teleported here, s
Adam POV . . I had just gotten a mind link from Andrew that it was chaos outside of the pack. The councils were all dead. They were caught dealing with the werebear king and were also part of Serena's spies. I couldn't believe Amos and the rest could betray the kingdom. "Adam, son. We have to help them!" My father uttered. I agreed with him, but it looked obvious and easy. Why didn't they touch Blood Moon Pack? "I have a call from our neighboring pack that Amos' wolves were just cured by Queen Jaque. They were all lying on the ground, naked!" My Delta reported. Since Andrew was busy patrolling the borders and updating me about the happenings outside. "Gather ten of our warriors and get the truck. We have to help them!" I wasted no time on this. Since Amos' pack was the nearest to our pack, it was obvious that we were the ones who would help them. That's the law in the kingdom. My Delta drove the car while I sat next to him. "Have you seen the princess lately?" I asked w
