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
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

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
Orora POV . . In the Kingdom of Diaphora King Arabic Reubus had managed to bring everything back to normal, almost half of it. The kingdom was still in the process of fixing the ruins the previous war had made, but at least the dragons were working together. They were doing their best to have the glory of their lost kingdom with them once again. I saw my mate commanding one of the dragons about the vast empty lands. Based on their body movements, his king was telling him about his plan for that brownish ground. I felt so curious that I strode toward them. The white thin dress I was wearing had reached my ankles, and every blow of the wind made its hem wave, dancing freely with the breeze. I heard my mate sniff and turned around to greet me with his captivating smile. "My queen, what brought you here?" He asked. The dragon next to him smiled at me before he lowered his head as his greeting. "I felt bored staying in the room. I want to see what you guys are doing. Also,
Adam POV . . "Who is he in your life, Amira? Why do you have to distance yourself from me? Amira, give me at least a clear explanation, so I also know what to do!" I was on the edge of a cliff with my situation right now. "I can't tell you yet, Adam. Give me a few months. A couple of months to be exact. Then I will tell you my decision after that!" "A couple of weeks of not seeing you is a h*ll in my life, Amira. What about a couple of months? Amira, seriously, tell me the truth. Who is that Amet to you?" "I already told you, Adam. I can't tell you yet. In the meantime, you have to trust me. If you can't wait!" She paused for a while. "Then we can reject each other and just forget everything!" "No one is talking about rejecting here, Princess Amira!" I roared as I gripped her waist and held her tightly. "Don't even think about it!" I sternly told her. Every word I uttered was a bullet piercing her heart. "I will wait. If that's what you want. A couple of months then. But if I
Adam POV . . "Adam? Is that you?" My dear mate had the audacity to ask. Could she not recognize me? "How did you get here?" Wrong question! That even made me more furious. "What am I doing here?!" I asked, repeating her words with sarcasm. I stepped heavily toward the two. My fists clenched when the merman stepped forward and spread his arm, blocking my sight to Amira. "Step aside, stinky fish!" My blood was boiling in fury that I pushed the merman aside, but he didn't even move. "Adam, stop that!" Amira roared, upset. The water around her suddenly produced bubbles. "My princess, just one word!" This annoying merman glanced over his shoulder. I had to admit he had the body physique of a great warrior. He had muscles everywhere, and the height like mine, King Logan, Prince Alaric, and Collen. He was holding a triton in his right arm and a pearl necklace hanging around his neck. "Who is he, Amira?!" I asked, but it was this merman's slap that answered my question. I
Adam POV . . 'Ayesha, where is she? Listen! That was all a misunderstanding, okay? Let me speak to her!' I was almost begging through mind-link. I was pacing back and forth in my office and had no clue how to reach her. 'Can you just tell me where she is?' 'She's in her castle in Atlantis. Alpha Adam, if I were you, I would give her space to think and reflect on her feelings about you!' 'What do you mean by reflect?' I roared. I was taken aback by her words. 'There's nothing to reflect on her feelings for me, okay? I'm serious about her. She is my mate and my Luna. Just show me the way to get to Atlantis. Give me now!' I was getting enraged. This servant of Amira was stern. 'Nope, can't do it, Alpha Adam!' I imagined her crossing her arms over her chest. 'I have to go. I have some matters to do for my mistress!' 'Like what?' Sometimes Ayesha just burst our words that could trigger me and my wolf. And this one was already giving me goosebumps, and she didn't even tell m
Adam POV . . The death of my parents took a toll on my life. We had a werewolf funeral, and it ended for 40 days. First, my parents were mourned by the Blood Moon Pack members in the first week. The alphas of different packs came after, and they stayed in the pack for a week, then the people in the palace led by our king and queen came on the third week and stayed for two weeks in the pack. In the last week, all the werewolf packs paid tribute to the former Alpha and Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. Queen Anicia from the werebear clan also gave her final respect on the fourth week. At sunset, it was a tradition to burn the body of the werewolf and watch the smoke fly to the sky. Then we all shifted into our wolf forms and lifted our heads, howling as we grieved for the loss of our loved ones. That day was the most painful day of the Blood Moon Pack, for it was not just my parents who were burned under the shade of the moonlight. There were almost two hundred of them. The king and
Alectrona POV . . "Alectrona, what brought you here?" Magenta, Diana's long-time servant, met me at the door instead of her. Dameron and I strode towards Diana's chamber rather, ignoring her presence. My cloak danced swiftly in the air as I marched down. The annoying servant hastily ran past us and spread her arms, blocking our way. "You can't go in!" She sternly stopped us. "The moon goddess is not interested in seeing you today, Alectrona!" I just chuckled at her and passed my attention to Dameron, who had been gritting his teeth on her. These two had an unresolved grudge in the past. "Dameron, you know what to do!" I told my servant, and he sneered at once. His snarl signaled the beginning of their unfinished business. Dameron was a shape-shifter while Magenta was a she-wolf. I wanted to watch this once-in-a-lifetime show, but I had bigger fish to catch. As I strode towards Diana's chamber, a dozen warriors immediately lined up in rows to stop me. I just swayed my
Alectrona POV . . I watched my best weapons banish in front of me. The snake that I secretly took care of since it was small, fed it with fresh blood from both humans and animals, and trained it to be loyal and obedient was now just vapor in the wind. The werebear that I wielded and experimented with had turned into its normal size, a useless naked human slave wriggling like a worm. His body was covered with bruises, claw marks, and canine bites. "Useless fools!" I couldn't help but freak out, shaking the whole enormous cave with my voice. "I only have one weapon left!" I thought about it. However, I was not even sure if this one could be trusted. She had a dark heart, but she was new. "My goddess, I have news!" My one and only warrior, who managed to escape in that dragon's kingdom, came in. He bowed to me. He had lost his right arm when he dared to fight Delmar. That traitor! He was just like Thorin. I fed them, drank my wine, sat on my throne, and then what did the
Amira POV . . "What the heck had just happened?" Alaric was pissed. The giant hawk landed on the rock, and Alaric jumped down, furious. There were still fireballs on both of his palms, and they hastily disappeared when he clenched his fists. "Is that some kind of a trick again just like before?" He pointed at the imaginary spot where the two giant beasts disappeared. "Obviously, it is!" King Logan answered. He was now in his human form and wearing his original king warrior uniform. "Alectrona did not want to lose. She always has replacement plans!" King Logan glanced around, devastated. "Princess Amira, where is Alpha Adam?" He suddenly asked. "As much as I want to join in your conversation, King Logan, brother Alaric. I have to attend to my mate first!" I told them. I almost forgot about Adam's parents. I turned around, my eyes roaming the disastered area. I could not find Adam anywhere. The battle had temporarily stopped an hour ago, and some of the casualties were now te
Amira POV . . This was a different creature. This was not a shape-shifter at all. The witches couldn't identify it, for its identity was very much hidden. I could sense it. This wasn't a shifter but a real one. I glanced at my mate, who had been bouncing up and down on the back of this giant python. Kylo looked exhausted, but he didn't want to give up. 'Adam, this is a shape-shifter. This creature is a real giant python!' I mind-linked him. Kylo stopped for a while and then glanced at me. 'Oh! Yeah! Then, the more we should kill it. Watch out, my love. I don't want to lose you again!' A tingling feeling sparked through me, and at that moment, I felt like I was on cloud nine. Well, literally, I was floating in the air. However, at this very moment, I just wanted to go down in his direction and hug him tight. That little wonder gave this giant python a free way to slap me with his tail. I was thrown far away to the sea. I felt my whole body shake, and what I heard last was
