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
Jaque POV . . The mansion looked empty. Jackson and some of the warriors of Shadow Rock already went back to the US a month ago. They brought Serena and her omega to justice. I gradually sat on the sofa and accidentally touched my flat tummy. I remembered that I was no longer alone. I was carrying a tiny life. The fruit of our love with each other. "Baby, if your daddy knows you are arriving in the world before he left, he would have more strength to endure the possible hardships and struggles he would encounter there!" I whispered as I caressed my belly. Even if the baby was still a small blood, I felt like it had already a mind to think and a heart to feel. I guessed that was the essence of motherhood. Did my mom feel the same thing when she was conceiving me? "Your mind is flying!" Suddenly, Adam uttered, smiling. He sat beside me while his gaze was fixed on me. He crossed his arms over my chest, now smirking. I couldn't help but jokingly hit his arm. "Shvt up! I am just
Jaque POV . . "Jaque is pregnant?!" Adam exclaimed, shocked and not believing. "Are you sure about that?!" His face was as dim as the darkness in the forest. "Alpha Adam, when it comes to a new life, I don't doubt my intuition," Witch Anya exclaimed back. Then she glanced back at me. "Jaque, you're carrying a life inside you. You're carrying the king's heir. The more you need to be protected. I suggest you stay at the Blood Moon Pack until this baby is born!" "Seriously, Witch Anya, I prefer to stay at the kingdom rather than in the pack where I almost died every day. Don't you get me? Blood Moon Pack is more dangerous for me to live in!" I couldn't help but glanced at Adam, who suddenly looked down at the ground, feeling embarrassed and guilty. "No offense, Adam, but I am talking about my own blood there. Jasmine and her scheming mother!" Adam ambled toward me and held my hand. "Jaque, I swear in the eyes of the moon goddess that I will protect you and make you my priori
Jaque POV . . "Okay, they're gone. What are we still waiting for here? Christmas? New Year?!" Collen uttered with a little sarcasm. I couldn't blame him. We had been here for like hours, just staring at the darkness. "How about a new face?!" Victoria answered back, still upset. "Can't you be a little sensitive, Collen?!" She added. "Do I need to answer that?!" Collen retorted rather. These two were really more of a cat and a dog. "Come on, guys. If there's nothing that I need to do here now, I am going back to my chamber. Chao!" "Collen!" Victoria called him, but he shifted into a crow and flew away. "Really an a$$!" The high witch whispered under her breath. She was a bit cute when she crossed her arms on her chest. It showed the kid side of her when she also stomped her feet. Victoria was more than a hundred years old, who stopped growing when her mother transferred her power to her. It was a bit of pity that she was bestowed with such power and responsibilities a
Jaque POV . . We were here. We were now here at the final destination of the Rogie King. We clasped our hands as we approached the wooden fence near the entrance of this forest. It was just a simple barrier for human eyes, but for creatures like us, it was the doorway to the realm of the hollies. The fence was just beside the highway where a few cars passed by. This highway was in the middle of mountain trees, and the only lights that served as the vision of the drivers were the post lamps with a distance of ten meters away each. "So, this is it!" I breathed. "Are you ready, my king?" Forcing a smile, but my hands were shaking. I just couldn't imagine Logan parting with me again, and this one had no chance of returning. If he failed, then he failed. If he won, then it would be a great victory for everyone. "I am, sweetheart. Don't be anxious, okay? I promised to be back, hence I will be back!" He smiled back with the reassurance to return to me alive. I hugged him tight
Logan POV . . At night... "This is ridiculous!' Alaric snorted under his breath. Victoria commanded us to stay in the middle of the forest to reflect. It took them a couple of hours to convince us to agree to their stupid plan. Alaric picked up a stone and threw it in the dark. "F*ck!" I scoffed and rolled my eyes at his exaggerated expression. Getting up from the ground, I stepped away for a while. I couldn't stand being with this bloodsucker for just a second. How about more days or months? "To sh!t this!" I whispered good enough for him to hear it. He glanced over his shoulder before he gradually turned around. Our stares met, burning and bleeding in both rage and disgust. "You think I also approved of this, werewolf king?!" He sarcastically uttered, making me raise my brow at him. "No matter what we do, there is no way that vampires and werewolves will be at peace!" He stressed out. "You think I also want that, vampire prince?" I also told him with the same tone

Logan POV . . There was no way in this world, and in the realm of the gods and goddesses, would I team with this bloodsucker. I hated their kind and his guts! "I can go there alone, Jaque. I don't need anybody's help. Especially not with him!" Everyone could tell who I was talking about based on my glare in his direction, and the same with him, Alaric was throwing me a dagger stare. "I can't even stand his face in my castle. What do you think you're doing, Shiva?!" Alaric was also upset. His fangs were protruding in his gums. "If ever!" But then the wind had suddenly changed its direction. Alaric was massaging his chin while staring at me from head to foot. "Although I like the idea of having a special snack. A king's blood might be tastier than a normal wolf's blood!" My blood boiled at his words, and I sprinted toward him right away. Even if Thorin was dormant, I still had the wolf's speed in my system. "Say, that again, bloodsucking moron!" My voice vibrated with that
Jaque POV . . "How is he?" I was waiting outside of our designated bedroom for a couple of hours when Witch Anya finally came out with some potion in her hands. "What are those bottles for?" I pointed at the two small plastic bottles that had the colors green and yellow in them. "For your first question, King Logan is getting better, but still unconscious. Your second, these are vials for taming Thorin and making him weak a little bit!" She walked past me and turned around after. "Jaque, you can see him now!" Witch Anya smiled. "Victoria is watching him!" I just nodded and stood up. I went straight to his bed, where he was lying unconscious. Victoria was just calmly watching him. "Logan, can you hear me?" I whispered in his ear. I heard him groan and was delighted to see that he was responding. He was so pale. Thorin had taken a lot of his energy earlier. "Logan!" I sat on the edge of his bed. Victoria was just watching my every move. "I am just here!" I whispered again. Wi
Jaque POV . . "Where are they? Are they still outside?" Witch Anya questioned upon appearing in front of us. Victoria was with her, just like her neutral expression, calm and cold. When the blast of something like thunder flashed on the door, creating an ear-deafening noise, the usual calm Victoria jumped on her post and gripped Witch Anya's arm tightly. "We have to stop them now. We are wasting too much time!" I yelled at them, making them all glance in my direction. When they saw how serious I was, even Logan, who was a high and mighty king, obeyed at once. "Let's go. You stay behind me, sweetheart!" He whispered as he placed himself in front of me, shielding me from the enormous fight outside. "Witches, form a small circle!" Orora commanded. I was stunned that none of the two protested at her demanding tone. As they began chanting a spell in Latin, Collen also shifted into an eagle and flew toward Alaric, who was shooting fireballs at Amira. On the other hand, Amira
