Adam POV . . I was preparing for my meeting with that woman whom Louis mentioned when Andrew entered my room. I glanced at him in the mirror while I fixed the collar of my navy blue long sleeves. "Are you sure you don't need me?" Andrew was adamant for me to leave without him. "I can help you better than Marco!" He uttered while taking off my suit from the hanger. "You are already helping me by taking care of the pack, Beta. I can't trust anybody in the pack who has the strength and loyalty to lead Blood Moon. If this meeting isn't successful, you are the first in line to take my post!" I took the suit from him and met his serious look. "Don't say that. The more I want to go with you. You are coming back here alive and kicking Alpha. Now that you have the ultimate reason to live, then stay alive. Not just for the pack, but for yourself as well!" If there was someone who could scold me in the pack except for my parents, that would be my best friend. I patted his shoulde
Adam POV . . She was one of the goddess's descendants. She, who was so simple, so plain, and so naive, was one of the most powerful creatures in the world. How on earth had I not seen this coming? Well, no one hadn't seen it coming. Not even the king, I guessed. What Princess Amira told me was still fresh in my mind. It was stuck like glue at the back of my head. I shvt my eyes, recalling that once in a blue moon meeting with a nymph. Our kinds thought they were gone, but no! They were just living quietly in a secluded world, nevertheless, they were updated with everything that was happening in the modern world. "Alpha, are you alright?" Delta Marco called me. He was staring at me in the rearview mirror. "I am fine, Marco. Don't worry. I am just resting!" If recalling the scenes earlier was a kind of rest, then I could say I was resting. I continued to close my eyes as the pictures from earlier formed like slideshows in my thoughts. "Mistress Amira!" I repeated in a wh
Logan POV . . "Where could they have gone?" Jackson told me that the Blood Moon Pack Alpha mutt and his Delta left the mansion before sunset, and it was now almost midnight. "He said to look around, but I doubt that. If he wants to look around, then he should have brought not just his Delta but also one of his pack members. He also lied about Andrew having a bonding time with me. My brother-in-law never said that to him!" Jackson was as pissed as I was. What we hated the most was being kept in the dark and, worst, people lying on our faces. "How do you know Andrew was lying!?" I asked while taking some of my clothes off the closet. I had a heart-to-heart talk with Jaque earlier, and whether we liked it or not, I had to do this. "When Andrew lies, he twitches his lips and can't see the person in front of him eye to eye. That's what he did to me today. When I asked him if he talked to his Alpha about us going out tonight, he stuttered and couldn't look me in the eye!" "Th
Logan POV . . "She's gone!" I whispered to her as I began pecking the crook of her neck. "Hmm, you smell good, sweetheart!" She giggled as my lips touched her skin. "Did you miss me? Hmm?!" "What do you think, my king?" She whispered back between her moans. "Mom left the house to give us some privacy now. I saw her tiptoed at the back door!" She announced in whispers, making me growl, and carried her to the second floor. Our lips were still attached as I let my instinct and my wolf senses lead the way. Although Thorin had been dormant since this morning after her attack on our mate, I still had the wolf's senses raging in me. I opened a random room, and the smell of herbs and liquid potions assaulted my nostrils, making my nose cringe. I detached my lips from her lips, and her brows creased at the confusion. "Is this your room?" I asked as I glanced around. "Nope. Obviously, this is Witch Anya's room. She works even when she sleeps!" Jaque answered while chuckling. "My
Serena POV . . "Miss Rinks, it is true. Lily Swanson is Jaque Davis. I overheard the two betas talking about her yesterday. Beta Andrew said he didn't know where Alpha Adam went, and Beta Jackson told him that King Logan already knew about Lily Swanson. That she is the same as Jaque Davis!" Tia, my servant, reported. I crashed the champagne glass with my grip, blood spouting on my fingers, but with my wolf healing, the cuts were also beginning to cure. "Fate always brings them together, no matter what. I only want one thing in life!" I gritted my teeth, my jaw ticked, and my temple throbbed at its impact. "What is it that you want, my lady?" Tia asked, concerned and curious. She began massaging my feet while I sat on this single chair in my room. I stared at my servant and observed her movement. She had changed a lot. From that of a naive omega to a woman with a fierce look hiding on her innocent face. "Get me another glass of wine. I have some important stuff for you t
Serena POV . . "Prepare our stuff, Tia. We're both leaving the mansion!" We were in a hurry to leave. After what happened tonight, for sure, Jackson and the rest were going to interrogate us. "Where are we going, my lady?" Tia asked, fear evident in her eyes. "Are we going rouge?" She trembled with that word. Although she was an omega and the king we followed was the so-called Rogue King, she still couldn't take the idea that she would not have any permanent places to live in. "No, Tia. We are going back to the US, and we have to stay there until Logan comes back!" I glanced over my shoulder and walked out of the forest like normal people. "Remember, our rehearsal!" I reminded her about our scripted lies. "Don't worry, my lady. I know what to do?" Tia was confident that we couldn't get caught. However... "Serena Rinks and Tia Monroe, you violated the law of the kingdom by conspiring with the fugitive Witch!" It was my cousin, Jackson, welcoming us with a warrant of a
Jaque POV . . This was so far the best days of our lives after six years. Logan and I traveled to the neighboring countryside of North Yorkshire using his shiny blue Aston Martin convertible car. He was maneuvering the steering wheel while I took pictures of the scenery of the mountains. The fiery red and bright yellow colors of the maple and ginkgo leaves were like a painted canvas of the century. I glanced at the love of my life and saw him staring at me. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, I could tell that his gaze was fixed on me. "What?!" I asked, joyful. I shrugged my shoulders off while the strap of my Canon camera was hanging around my neck. "Nah! Just delightful. Finally, we can enjoy our life like this!" He uttered, confident. I got worried at his words. "Logan, please stop the car!" I gently told him, and he pulled over to the emergency lane. "I don't like the way you talk!" I immediately hugged him tight and sniffed on his chest. "What's the matter, sw
Jaque POV . . "What do you mean you know where the portal is?" I stepped forward, standing next to my mate. "Collen, where is the portal? Tell us now!" I was eager to end this charade. Although I was petrified of losing Logan, he gave me hope that because of me, he would come back. "You have to come with me now!" He turned around and was about to leave when Logan stopped him. He grabbed Collen's hand, making him glance over his shoulder. "What?!" Collen asked aggressively. "Tell us where the portal is, and don't waste our time!" Logan stressed every word while staring deeply at my brother. However, Collen just chuckled at his expression. "It isn't that easy, King Logan. I can tell you where the portal is, but you can't just go in there like that!" He snapped his fingers. "It isn't as easy as opening your bedroom door!" He brushed off Logan's hand and shifted his stare at me. Collen took a deep sigh while his gaze never left my side. I felt he was trying to unlock a secre
Adam POV . . "So, you're telling me that Katrina, one of Jaque's private servants, was Serena's spy?!" I repeated what Andrew had just told me. I was sitting on my swivel chair in my office, just resting a bit. I leaned on the headrest while waiting for Andrew's answer. "Yes. Right now, she is serving her punishment. I've heard from Kelly that the day after tomorrow, all of the spies in the kingdom will be whipped 100 times in the plaza. Everyone is going to witness their punishment. Miranda is one of them!" Andrew took the snowball from the table and shook it. "Isn't this the snowball Jaque gave you before you went to Alpha Training?" He furrowed his brows, curious. I just smiled at him. I glanced at the drawer of my desk and opened it. The tiara was still there, wrapped beautifully. "What's in there?" Andrew asked. "This? It's a tiara I bought on the island. The owner of the antique shop said that this belonged to a nymph. Her tiara was washed away by a typhoon a long tim
Logan POV . . "Where's Jaque? Where's my son? Where are they?" I threw these vamps a series of questions, as they kept glancing at each other. We were now in the palace, but we couldn't find any of their presence here. Not even a tiny aroma of my mate's scent wasn't here. "All we know is if there is an emergency, Christopher will bring the queen here. Since Orora is here, she hid your son from that crazy she-wolf!" One of the vamps explained as she twitched her lips. "Alright! Where is that doctor?" I turned around and faced these vampires. My fists clenched when they couldn't answer my question. D*mn it! I just brought these bloodsuckers back to life, and they couldn't even protect my own family. "Answer me, d*mn it!" "King Logan, we apologize. We don't know!" The one who spoke earlier uttered, earning her a growl from Thorin. "King Logan, please don't get mad at us. We really have no idea where Christopher is at the moment!" I was about to snarl at them when one of the va
Jaque POV . . Thorin lunged at Serena at a great speed, targeting her neck. And it was because she was still gripping my neck when Thorin bit the crook of her neck, she had no choice but to let me go. My wolf had fallen half-unconsciously to the ground, but I could hear some painful screams and growls from my surroundings. I could hear Collen and Doctor Williams coming towards me with their loud steps and voices. "Shiva, you have to shift!" Doctor Williams uttered. His voice was begging. I was trying, but my wolf and I were too weak to shift. "You have to get her out of here. I will help Thorin finish that crazy she-wolf!" Collen told the doctor. I had no idea what happened, but I felt Shiva's body was lifted. After a while, I felt foreign. The place was quiet, and the scent was something familiar. With my half-open eyes, I glanced at Doctor Williams, asking for a question. "You are in Master Alaric's room. Orora gave me a stone for teleportation in case of emergency. Shiv
Jaque POV . . I was shocked! My eyes widened in disbelief. We were frozen by time. Serena's snap was suspended in the air while I was watching my brother perform his power. Both Serena and Shiva couldn't move, but they were both awake, and their minds were active. Collen raised his hands, spreading them in the air while he chanted something in language, only the creatures in the realm of the gods and goddesses could understand. Orora told me once that we had chants and spells, and their languages were different from those ordinary spells, even a high witch couldn't understand them. But now, Collen was using them to save me, and I had to admit that when his body glowed, he looked exactly like a god. Serena tried to move her fingers gradually while my brother stopped the time. Even the furniture was hanging in the air. The simple chandeliers had moved to the side, and then it froze. I had to do something. I had to fight and help Collen. Once Serena had snapped her fi
Jaque POV . . I was watching Orora putting my son to sleep while Collen was petting his favorite leopard. I got to use to the present of different creatures in the house anymore. At first, it was a bit awkward seeing either a black bear or a leopard in the living room. But now, it felt like they were part of my little family. I left Shadow Rock for one reason. I ambled towards my siblings and kissed Kairen's forehead, who was now quietly sleeping. "Is the leopard staying here for tonight?" I asked Collen, who stopped petting his pet and shifted his gaze at me. "My babe is our guard tonight!" He smiled. "Why not rest now. Let Orora take care of Kairen, and I will see the surroundings!" He got up and was about to leave the back door when Orora stopped him. "Do the vampires lurk around?" She asked. "Yep!" Collen shortly answered. He strode to the back door and left. His leopard was left in the living room, along with some faes flying and humming. They surrounded my son wh
Jackson POV . . At the palace... This was one good operation that needed an enormous vacuum. All the spies should be put in sealed bags and thrown away into the ocean. Would Princess Amira like such gifts, though? I bet she wouldn't. "Take them all to the plaza. Let the whole kingdom know of these traitors in our lands. Whip them until they bleed and slowly die!" I was fuming in anger. With the help of some of our warriors in every pack and in the Shadow Rock, we had caught over a hundred spies working for Serena. Werewolves and she-wolves of different ages and ranks. But... The one I was looking for was not here. I knew she had changed the moment King Logan left the kingdom for over a year. I was aware that she had had a crush on the king since she was brought here to the palace. She thought she could hide it, but there were countless times I saw her stealing a glance at the portrait of King Logan in the library and talking to it like it was real. "Beta Jackson!" T
Serena POV . . I threw the glass of wine at the wall, shattering it into pieces. I had been hiding in this dilapidated house since goddess Alectrona signaled me to retreat. I wanted to end Jaque at that time, but her calling was way stronger than my urge. I had no idea what happened in their world that made her stop, but I was pretty sure it had something to do with Logan and his wolf. "That too!" I loudly spoke what was running at the back of my head, Tia came rushing along. I was gasping in fury when she saw me in this room. I couldn't even say that this was my room. I would never choose a rundown place to stay, not even for a day. "My lady, are you alright?" Tia asked, worried. She immediately crouched down to pick up the pieces of glass on the floor. Although she was an omega, goddess Alectrona had left a small amount of her power in her body, making her a little stronger than her fellow omegas. "Do I look like I am alright, Tia? I hate this!" I roared as I kicked th
Logan POV . . Upon landing, I almost broke the exit door with my bare hands. I couldn't wait to see Jaque. Kyle had called Draco, and he said that both the ladies and the children left the palace. Seriously, this had been Jaque's hobby when she was mad, and it was getting now on my nerves. "Any clue where those two go?" Jackson asked, leveling my strides. "D*mn it, Kelly. If something bad happens to you and our son, I'm going to put you in a cage!" He gritted his teeth as his jaw ticked. He was as furious as I was. "Did you call her brother? Maybe Beta Andrew has an idea!" I suddenly remembered. I glanced over my shoulder and noticed the Alpha mutt talking to someone on the phone... in secret. "Who is he speaking to?" I nodded as Jackson followed my gaze. "No idea. Let me find out!" He was about to approach the Alpha mutt, but I stopped him. "When it comes to him, let me do the talking!" I told Jackson, and he just bobbed his head. I strode toward the Alpha of Blood Moon
Logan POV . . "Can this plane get any faster?" Jackson slammed the door frame of the entrance door, startling some of the wolves sitting comfortably on their seats. I couldn't blame him. I also wanted to leave this flying metal and just summoned one of our witches to teleport us. However, for some unknown reasons, they all suddenly became unattended. I took a deep sigh, trying to formulate random reasons to fire back just in case my mate would go feral again, just like the last time. I still felt the pain in my shoulder every time I recalled her furious bites. "I promised myself that the last thing I would do was to make her upset again. How could that happen? Jackson, I thought you planned it well!" I was vexing my anger on my Beta, who was also at the edge of firing out. "Are you blaming me now, Logan?" His voice was loud, forgetting who he was speaking with. His eyes were also burning in both rage and anxiety. I got up and faced him. "Are you yelling at me, Beta?" I as
