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 . . The Davis had left the mansion, and now there was just me and Andrew, along with a few of my pack warriors staying in Middlesbrough. We decided to move to South Yorkshire in Doncaster today. For some reason, Beta Jackson didn't ask any questions or didn't interrogate us anymore. Perhaps these Kingdom warriors were even delighted that the Blood Moon Pack wolves would be out of their sight. I was inside my room, watching two of the king's omegas pack my stuff when suddenly the pearl ring on my pinky sparkled. Princess Amira was summoning me to go to her place. "I have to go and see the CEO of Alrich Company!" I told the omegas, and they just stared at me. "We will inform the beta, Alpha Adam!" One of the omegas finally answered. I just nodded and smiled at her. I hurried my steps and mind-linked Andrew at once. I told Princess Amira through Miss Khan that Andrew needed to know about our secrets, and she understood. Since my beta would be with me in South Yor
Adam POV . . In the dining room, everyone was silenced. While three servants placed different meals on the marble table, Andrew and I stared at the food. Obviously, no seafood was served. There was pork, beef, and salad. Fresh fruits such as papaya and cantaloupe were also at the corner. One of the servants was serving the princess by putting different food on her plate. The other servants were busy pouring white wine into our glasses. "Alpha Adam, what do you know about my siblings?" Suddenly, Princess Amira asked. I was about to put the steak in my mouth, but I had to stop and put the cutlery down to answer her question. "I have met Orora in a battle. She is quite fierce like you!" She snorted and rolled her eyes upon hearing my comment to her sister. "Collen, on the other hand, as I have heard, is a trickster. He can change his appearance to different forms!" "Indeed, he is. He can change into a woman and ant, too, if he wants!" Princess Amira continued. "What about
Adam POV . . "Never mind!" She just also shrugged her question off. She turned around and was about to leave when she tapped my shoulder. I felt chills down my spine when her skin touched my shirt. "You appear to be anxious when I come closer, Alpha?!" I could hear a tease in her tone. I couldn't even afford to glance at her. "Of course not, my princess. I am not worthy to feel anything for you except my respect!" That was the truth, although I could hear Kylo snarling at me, disapproving of my choice of words. "Then why do I hear disapproval from your wolf?" With those words that she just released from her mouth, I was rooted in my spot. Kylo was also dumbfounded. Could she hear him? "I... I... don't know what you mean, Princess Amira!" I was stuttering. 'Pick up your brain on the ground, idiot!' I heard Kylo roar. Princess Amira suddenly burst out laughing. "Your wolf is funny, Alpha Adam. What's his name?!" Should I tell him? An idea popped up in my mind. "Make a g
Jaque POV . . Logan and I were still resting when shattering broken glasses made me jolt from my sleep. My hand involuntarily went onto my chest as I gasped loudly, making Logan crease his brows and his still-sleepy eyes open. "Logan, did you hear that?" I whispered as I glanced outside. That was indeed ear-deafening. "Looks like something is going on outside!" However, his attitude seemed not to be bothered by the noises at all. He wrapped his strong arm around me and pulled me back to lie down instead. "I'm still sleepy!" He also buried his face in the crook of my neck and sniffed my hair. Within just a split second, I could already hear his calm breathing. "But Logan, it looks like there is a huge fight going on!" I struggled to get up. His arm was like a metal, heavy enough to lift. "Logan, I need to check~ whoaaah!" I screamed in fright when I saw Alaric just crush on the bricks of the castle by the window where our room was. It seemed like somebody or something strong
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
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
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 . . 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
