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
Logan POV . . I had been waiting in the car for how long I couldn't remember. It was almost midnight, and the two were still conversing. I rhythmically tapped the steering wheel with my fingers while watching them like a hawk. 'What's that important matter that they need to spill it without me?' I asked inwardly. I just sighed and shut my eyes for a while, thinking about Thorin. Did he really leave me now, or was he just there not far from my side? 'Thorin, are you there? Talk to me, buddy!' I called my wolf, but no response. 'Thorin, boy, come on. Don't do this to me. I need you, buddy!' Still, nothing. I loved my wolf. He had been my companion since I had my first shift or maybe even before that. He was the one giving me joy and strength. He made me the king of rogues. A title that was nobody for wolves with packs, but it was a title that gave hope to those rebels and outcasts like me. Now, I became the king of both, with and without a pack. I received reverence from both
Jaque POV . . Two days had passed. Whether I liked it or not, we had to end our original plan and meet my siblings in his castle on top of the hill. I already mind-link Witch Anya to come with us. I was staring at my mate, who was on his phone at the moment. We were in the south, and his mind-link couldn't reach his beta, who was in the north at the moment. They had been talking for a long time. I was wondering what their topic was, for I saw him crease his eyebrow most of the time. When he turned around, I was surprised at how dim his face was. "What happened? Is there a problem with the mansion?" I asked him when he went back to the car. He took a deep sigh for a while and then glanced at me. "Serena was brought to the basement along with Tia, her omega!" What?! "They saw them conspiring with your sister. She has been seeing Orora for a while now!" "How did they meet? How did they know each other?" I was not surprised that Serena could do such stuff, but I was surpri
Jaque POV . . "Jaque!" Witch Anya called. "This is Victoria. The high witch that I was telling you about. Victoria, this is Jaque and her wolf, Shiva!" She introduced me to her. Logan was still approaching us when Victoria and I shook hands. "The one coming is King Logan!" "The Rogue King. I know. He was the grandson of the ruthless animal that massacred our kind!" Ops! That I forgot. With Logan's wolf's hearing, I was pretty sure he heard what Victoria said. "Good to meet you, Victoria. Finally, I met the youngest-looking and the most powerful witch alive!" Logan sneered. "Logan, what do you mean?" I intertwined my hand with his hand as I shifted my curious stare to him. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time. "Sweetheart, Victoria is immortal. Believe it or not, she is already a hundred and eighty years old. She just stopped growing when she inherited her title from her mother!" "Whom your grandfather had killed in cold blood!" Victoria snapped out
Logan POV . . I hated this castle. It reminded me of the past. The war between the vampires and werewolves. The blood of my Kind. Their claws and fangs. They were all on every wall of this vampire's place. I meant, in metaphor. These bloodsuckers sucked their blood dry until they gasped their last breaths. "Logan, are you alright?" My mate whispered as she nudged my arms. I spaced out a bit. I didn't even notice we were already at the door frame of the dining table. I stood straight and calmed my nerves. Upon seeing Alaric on his throne, my eyes turned bloody red. If it was true that Thorin was with me the entire time, wouldn't he feel him, too? "King Logan, finally in human form!" Alaric spoke. His deep voice pierced my ears. He got up and ambled towards us. I saw from my peripheral view that Victoria and Witch Anya glanced at each other. Jaque held my hand tightly while her gaze was fixed on her brother. "I am Prince Alaric. The firstborn of the moon goddess!" He stret
Adam POV . . I got up and fixed the hem of my sleeves while Camira helped Delmar get up. I was so furious that when he got the chance to stand steadily, I gave him a strong hit on the jaw, making Camira startle as he fell back to the floor. "Alpha Adam, what do you think you're doing?" She immediately stepped between us, shielding this impostor from me. He groaned, getting up for the second time. Still smirking at me while Camira faced my rage. "You can't pretend for d*mn too long, j@ck@ss!" I roared. "You are lucky, Camira is here. If not, I would have torn you into pieces!" I pointed at him, Camira snapping my hand. "That's enough!" She roared at me. "He doesn't fight you, okay? Whatever that is that makes you upset again!" I shifted my glare at Camira and mind-linked her. 'Believe that j@ck@ss all you want, but I am telling you!' I glanced back at him, who was now standing still while touching his jaw. 'He has a hidden agenda, and we are all in great danger if we do
Adam POV . . Just one ordinary day at the Council. I was busy flipping the pages of some documents Camira sent me this morning while browsing some of the reports on my laptop. I creased my brows when my eyes caught something. 'Camira!' I mind-linked our budget officer at once. 'To the office!' I gently uttered. Being the leader, you should be tough and aggressive. That was the teaching Amos planted to the staff here, but I was not Amos and would never be. I treated the staff here as my friends, at the same time putting a wall between us. Meaning, we should all know our positions. 'Yes, Alpha!' Camira responded. 'Shall I bring you something, Alpha?' She also asked. I could already smell her scent coming to my office. 'No! Just you!' I told her. I had my laptop, and the budget for next month's emergency funds for every pack was flashing on the screen monitor. 'Alpha, what's the matter?' She asked as she arrived at the door. I just nodded at her, signaling her to take the s
Adam POV . . "Witch Orora, can I come in?" Since last night, aside from that overwhelming feeling I shared with Amira, I felt something different. Something unexplainable. Something that only the witches could tell. When she just left this morning, I felt devastated, like I had lost something that was part of me. Like I had lost my heart and my soul. The door creaked open, and Orora's stern face welcomed my desperate look. "What is it, Alpha Adam?" Her tone was also nonchalant. Did something happen before I came here? "Alpha Adam, if you are just going to stare at me in front of my door, you can take a photo and leave!" I was nudged by her aggressive voice. "My bad. Can I come in? I need your help with this one. It is about Amira!" I heard her sigh and saw her roll her eyes before she opened the door wide and let me in. "Would you like some tea?" Her voice was still stoic but a little bit nicer this time. Also, yes, I was going to need a liquid to calm my nerves. "T
Orora POV . . Something was odd. I had been searching for that book in my library for hours but I couldn't find it. I had been floating in the air for hours and circling around these stacks of ancient books. I hadn't read that book for disguise in a long time, and now that I needed it, I couldn't find it. "Arrg! Orora, think! Come on!" I swayed my wand, and it formed a glitter in the air. That wand was a gift from the moon goddess itself. She told me to use it if something important needed to be fixed. For now, Amira's situation was THAT something very important. "Orora, we have a visitor!" One of my witches knocked on the door. "It is Princess Amira's mate, Delmar!" I immediately went down to the floor and stuck my wand on the side of my waistband while forming a fake smile. "Vina, stock them back. Hurry!" I told my witch, and she hurriedly used her power to put all the books back on the shelves while I went to the door. Delmar was indeed here, and he was waiting outside t
Amira POV . . "Delmar, I...I am just here. I won't leave!" I told him as I tapped his shoulder and tried to step back, but his hug was tight, and he was trying to catch my lips. "I miss you, my darling!" Before I could stop him, his lips had already sealed mine. However, the feelings were not the same. I felt my lips burning, and I was suffocating. I tried to suppress it, but the more I did, the more I felt I was drowning. Until I did my best to be released from his tight wrap. "Delmar, I am sorry. I just had a headache now. I drank too much last night!" I saw something in his eyes, but I couldn't put a name to it. He looked still upset and disappointed. "Alright! I will give you time to rest. I will come back this afternoon. No! Tomorrow! I will visit you tomorrow!" He said with a stern face. I was pretty sure he didn't like my reaction to the kiss he just did. "Okay, Delmar. See you tomorrow!" I just told him. When he left, I dropped myself to the floor. I felt weak
Amira POV . . How stupid I was. I let that happen. I slept with Alpha Adam last night. I was no longer drunk. I was sober. But I still did a tremendous act, betraying my mate. How stupid could I get? I scolded myself as I paced back and forth in my room. Ayesha still had no idea that I was already home. 'What will I do now? Did Delmar feel my betrayal? Did he feel my unfaithfulness?' I bit my thumb. A mannerism I had since I was a kid every time I was anxious or even scared. I shvt my eyes, trying to think whether to tell Delmar about it or not. However, instead of imagining Delmar's face, Adam's annoyingly good-looking feature last night flashbacked in my mind. The way he caressed me. The way he moaned my name. The way he claimed me. The way he called me his love. The way he stared at me dotingly. They all melted in my mind and stayed in my heart. 'Amira, you are mine and mine only!' I could still remember how he claimed me with possessiveness. It tickled my heart. It gav
Adam POV . . I willed Jasmine to come here. In the meantime, I had no idea where Jasmine's loyalty lay. Sometimes, she looked different. She was someone who could be trusted in small matters. Other times, she was confusing. Her personality had changed a lot since the time I stripped her of her title as the future Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. Jasmine obeyed at once when I told her what to do. She didn't say anything nor ask for any condition for her little sacrifice. She performed the task well. I knew that my nanny for years was scolding Amira in the dining room. With my wolf hearing, I could hear her clearly. A smile crept on my lips on how Myhesni protected and fought for me. She was indeed my mom outside of the womb. I knew that Jasmine heard them, too. I told Jasmine to bring my suit now, at three in the morning, which was very unusual for me. I commanded her to stay in my room for at least 30 minutes or less. When the time was up, I deliberately knocked the books on my
Amira POV . . He brought me to his villa. I had been here once before. I heard he had three omegas, serving him. One was taking care of his meals and groceries. One was cleaning his place and gardening. The last one was taking care of his clothes and some appointments or schedules. I glanced around, still familiarizing myself with the choice of colors he used. 'Not bad, but it's not his personality!' I murmured, uttering inwardly. He brought me here to speak about that bar incident. But he also let me wait for him in the living room. I ambled to the stairs, lifting my head on the second floor, where he went about thirty minutes ago. I took a deep sigh, counting the ticking of the clock on the wall. 'One, two, three!' It was now three in the morning, and here I was still awake and in another place. Ayesha, Demeter, and Orora were being taken care of by the two betas. I was about to go to the dining room when suddenly, the digital door lock produced a sound. Somebody was coming
Amira POV . . We were teleported by Orora in front of the Blood Moon Packhouse. I was still trying to escape from his grasp when he deliberately held my waist instead. "Try to run away, and you will see how I get angry, Princess Amira!" He whispered in my ear. I flinched when his lips touched my earlobe. I gradually turned my head to see his reaction. I bit my lower lip, controlling myself to punch that sneering face. "I still have an effect on you, haven't I?" "Hmm! Don't be cocky, Alpha Adam. A drunk man did the same thing to me at the bar, and my reaction was the~" "What did you say?" He cut me off with his loud roar. His hold on my waist was too tight, I had to tiptoe and place my hands on his chest. "What are you doing?" I roared back, ignoring the stares we earned from our friends. "Let me go!" "Ahm! I was just wondering if Delmar felt betrayed by this scene!" Demeter had no filter at all. "I can ask him tomorrow if you just let us pass!" This time, Beta Andre
