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 . . 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
Adam POV . . She was after Jaque. That was obvious. The more there was a reason that I should be with her, now that the king was out there fighting for our survival. I stared at her, worried was laced on my din expression. "Jaque, whether you like it or not, I will be with you until King Logan comes back. You can bring Gamma Kyle and Katrina with you if you like!" I was fully aware that Kyle was her gamma, and Katrina was one of her loyal servants. The rest were all just with her if she had some events to attend to, to groom or prepare her outfit. "Thanks, Adam, but I don't think Serena knows where I really am. She thought I was with Logan and staying at the castle. Serena has no idea where Alaric's castle is!" "For now, yeah! But didn't you hear what Andrew said? She used dark magic to escape. She can also use that to locate your whereabouts. Jaque, allow me to be with you until King Logan comes back!" I was this close to losing patience with her. Ever since we were kids,
Logan POV . . "This d*mn place is the world of chaos!" Alaric had been commenting nonstop upon arriving at the realm of the gods and goddesses. "I fully remember that it wasn't like this when mom sent us to Earth. It was a place of magnificence and awesomeness!" He fully remembered, but I couldn't remember anything. What I felt upon stepping into this land of the gods was Thorin would like to surface. My power arose and was overwhelming. I gasped as I felt him wanting to come out again. My wolf was leading us. He was literally the one showing me the way. "Wait! We have to stop and find a place to stay. It is getting dark!" I told Alaric, and he just laughed. "Are you tired, King Logan? We are not even far from the portal yet. Just 10 kilometers away, and you are this exhausted?!" He clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Can you even fight the goddess of darkness with this kind of situation you have?" "I am not sure if I release Thorin now, I might kill you or any living
Logan POV . . We had been walking into the wilderness for hours, passing every leaf that slapped our faces, and sniffing every possible enemy that was lurking behind these old trees and giant bushes. Nevertheless, we haven't stopped yet. The voice of the woman was still leading us. She spoke nonstop, sometimes humming a song or intentionally kicking the dry leaves on the ground just to let us know she was leading the journey. "When will you show yourself to us?!" Alaric, who was like me, already becoming impatient, couldn't help but ask. "I can't really follow a ghost!" He stopped and sharpened her eyes at the invisible force. "I think I can remember you now. You are Collen's aunt!" Collen's aunt?! Suddenly, a dead air... "You never failed to impress me, Prince Alaric. You still remember my little trick!" A blue butterfly just suddenly popped up and shifted into a beautiful middle-aged woman. She also had golden brown hair like Collen. Their only difference was the shape
Alaric POV . . There was only one reason why I didn't want to come back here. The reason why I also left billions of years ago. I had wonderful and mischievous memories of my childhood in the world of the gods and goddesses. I could say I was blessed to be chosen as the firstborn of the most powerful goddess in this realm. Aside from that, she made me her prince and bestowed the power to represent my kind, the vampires. At first, everything was great. Everything seemed to be perfect... Until I met the vampire princess from the South Coven. She was beautiful beyond comparison. She was naive and looked innocent, but the world coated her with the ancient human saying, 'Don't judge a book by its cover!' For she was the best example of that phrase. Behind those sweet smiles and a gentle-looking face, that soft voice and humble behavior lay a venomous woman with a dark secret. Her name was Nomiko, the only vampire princess and heir to the throne of the vampire king, King Hachi
Logan POV . . "The weapon is inside Logan, Alaric. Use your instinct to choose the right door!" The moon goddess was ethereal but, at the same time, cunning. I thought once we got here, we were going to face Alectrona right away. However, it was her whom we met first instead. "How many chances do we have?" I questioned, having Jaque in my mind. "Also, before I choose, I have to ask you about Thorin. Does he really need to die, or is there another way to tame my wolf?" That also concerned me the most. Thorin was my half, my life as well. As much as possible, I didn't want to lose him, too. "Thorin is your embodiment, but when he is in his own comfort zone, he can be mischievous, just like in the old times. All you need to do for your wolf is to remind him of your relationship on Earth. He is indeed a lone wolf here, but not where you were born. Thorin doesn't need to perish. You just have to remind him of his life with you!" That made a lot of perfect sense. How come I d
Logan POV . . 'Come on, buddy. Please, talk to me!' I have been speaking to him for less than an hour now, and the only thing I received was either a snort or a snarl. 'Thorin, we need to work together. I don't know what else I am going to do. Whatever that is that made you upset, I am sorry. Really, really sorry. Thorin!' Until I was answered by a complete silence. I took a deep sigh, resting my mind for a while. I got up from the wide lounge chair and ambled toward the quiet fountain. My eyes rummaged through the crystal-clear water and some fish that were swimming gladly under it. The place was perfect, but my mind was a mess. I just had no idea what else to do. I shut my eyes and lifted my head to the infinity clouds. 'What do you want me to do, Thorin?' I asked, more like talking to myself. But I was surprised when my wolf responded. 'Release me!' His voice was deep. When I opened my eyes, I was welcomed by a pair of burning red orbs. 'Release me, human!' He was
Jackson POV . . 'Beta, deranged wolves are everywhere, and they seem to be increasing in numbers!' One of the chosen warriors had just mind-linked me. He was at the north border of the kingdom. That was the back of the palace and had the least strong protection. Although Alpha Cillian and Victoria were with them, I felt like the shields were not enough. 'Protect the kingdom at all costs. Don't let those deranged wolves bite or even scratch you. Do you understand?' I mind-linked everyone. I was on the frontline, shielding the south borders. Alpha Adam and Alpha Dylan were on the east. The East was the first that was attacked by these raving mad wolves. While Beta Andrew and Collen led the protection on the West borders, these wolves were indeed increasing in numbers. 'The witches are spreading!' My brother-in-law, Beta Andrew, mind-linked all of us. That was bad news. If the witches were spreading in the kingdom, it only meant one thing. The wolves at the borders could no lo
Logan POV . . After four months... My temples seemed to be splitting in half. I groaned at the pain I felt upon moving. I felt like a huge brick was on top of me, pressing me on this soft bed. 'Where are we, Thorin?' I asked my wolf. 'Whose room is this?' I kept asking my wolf, who was lying quietly in the corner. 'Thorin, are you alright?' "Finally, you're awake!" When the door swung open, Alaric's relief expression covered the frame. "Logan, I even thought that f*cker Lycus had defeated you just like that!" He snapped his fingers as he walked to my side. "How do you feel now?" He then asked, seriously. "Still in pain. Where am I?" I sternly asked. I felt like I had been sleeping for years. "You're in my castle, of course. The wolves don't know that I brought you here. If they find out that you are wounded and almost on the brink of dying, they will attack your kingdom. Although your Beta is doing a great job filling your empty throne for a while. Also, your most hated
Demeter POV . . The s*x was great! I had to admit, this was the best I had ever had since I came down to Earth. I had my first when I was just nineteen and with a human. I had lived with them for a long time. I hid and covered my scent so my fellow wolves and the vampires would not notice me. Why did I do this? Why did I choose to live with the humans? I was the sister of one of the most terrifying wolves in the realms. Thorin was the majestic one, and I was his opposite. Our nannies, the ones we grew up with, had a hard time taking care of me and teaching me how to be prim and proper. I was always the back sheep in the family. I was never happy in the realm, so I asked for help from Alaric to find the doorway to the human world. Alaric knew how I was suffering mentally in that realm. The place was magnificent, but it wasn't the right place for me. I hated rules! I felt the heaviness on top of me lifted when he rolled to my side. We were both gasping and were just st
Andrew POV . . "Where are you taking me, you a$$hole!" She was screaming in anger. Her fists kept landing on my back. I had to admit, she hit like a male wolf. "I said, shvt up!" One hit on my back, one whoop on her a$$. "Keep on hitting me, she-wolf. I will keep on whooping your a$$. I am pretty sure you love that!" "Never! You are nothing but a pain in the a$$. Put me down. You're going to pay for this!" She kept on struggling, but I held her firm. I was going to teach this she-wolf a lesson she would never forget. We were heading to the packhouse. I had my own room there. It was on the top floor and just across from Adam's room. This she-wolf's room was also in the packhouse, but it was on the second floor. I strode straight to the 3rd. floor when she hit me again. "Hey! My room is on the second floor!" We were now on the fourth floor when she noticed I was heading to the top floor. "Put me down. I don't want to go to your room!" Yeah, sure! "I told you. You need
Andrew POV . . 'Can't that wait, Beta? I am in the middle of something now!' I heard the voice of Adam at the back of my head, a tad bit aggressive and threatening. I got confused for a while. When did my best friend set aside his work for whatever something he was doing at the moment? He would never neglect any task, especially when it came to something important... and I just said that I had to report something. 'Adam, this is very important. It is about the three alpha-less packs!' I insisted. I stressed the word alpha-less to juggle his mind just in case he forgot about it. 'D*mn it, Andrew. Give me an hour or two break. Just this one!' I heard a slamming on something. Was he upset? Did he just slam his desk because of me? 'Adam, the packs need the council leader's attention. They ~' I halted in my words. My wolf hearing was loud, and it just caught something inside. I sniffed, using my wolf senses. I could smell something familiar. It was a sweet scent, and it also h
Adam POV . . After a week, today was my first time taking my seat on the council. I didn't use the former office of the dead council leader. I told the wolves there that I would be renovating the stockroom to be my temporary office. With the help of my warriors, we were able to fix and clean the office. Now, it looked like the one I had at the packhouse. I appointed my delta to help me with the paperwork here since Andrew would be busy with the Blood Moon Pack. "Marco, give me updates on all of the kingdom's packs both in the US and England." That was my first command. Delta Marco's desk was next to my desk. He also had his own laptop and a printer beside his desk. "Yes, Alpha!" He searched for the kingdom's pack on Microsoft Excel. "Alpha, they are all updated except for the three packs that are led by the former council leaders. What are we going to do with them?" He furrowed his brows at me, the same feelings I had, these three packs should have alphas to assist them.
Adam POV . . "D*mn, what are we going to do now?" Alpha Dylan asked after explaining everything to him. "Do we need to find him?" He sat on a single chair while glancing at everyone. Princess Amira, Andrew, and the Luna of Amos were also waiting for someone to answer that essential question. "Beta Jackson and Kelly have to do their job for a while. Now that the council is gone, all of the work falls under Beta Jackson's shoulders!" I responded. "He needs somebody who can help him do at least half of the job. What about you, Alpha Adam? I think you are the most qualified one to take Alpha Amos' job!" Alpha Dylan's suggestions made me stop and think for a moment. I didn't see that suggestion coming. "I can't just take the leader of the council's job without the kingdom's beta's approval. I wanted to help him, but this kingdom consists of more than twenty packs in this country. King Logan is also the king of the wolves in England. Right now, we are at war, and ~" "And you a
Adam POV . . It was already dark when I arrived at the pack. I saw Andrew facing back and forth at the entrance. I got out of the car after parking it in the garage. "Beta Andrew, what's the matter?" I asked. I could see that he was worried and scared. "Adam, Jaque isn't awake yet. Demeter has done everything she could, but she is still unconscious!" Andrew reported. "Where is her room?" I immediately strode to the second floor of the mansion. "Tell me what happened here while I was gone!" "Orora brought Jaque to one of the guestrooms on the third floor. Demeter has been tending her nonstop, but she couldn't wake up!" "She couldn't wake up, or she was too weak to wake up?!" I asked, clarifying things from his words. "Demeter said she couldn't. She was just exhausted, but what baffled her was ~" "Tell me, Andrew. You know I don't want to be kept in the dark!" I told him as I stopped in front of Jaque's room. I was a little bit upset. "When Orora teleported here, s
Adam POV . . I had just gotten a mind link from Andrew that it was chaos outside of the pack. The councils were all dead. They were caught dealing with the werebear king and were also part of Serena's spies. I couldn't believe Amos and the rest could betray the kingdom. "Adam, son. We have to help them!" My father uttered. I agreed with him, but it looked obvious and easy. Why didn't they touch Blood Moon Pack? "I have a call from our neighboring pack that Amos' wolves were just cured by Queen Jaque. They were all lying on the ground, naked!" My Delta reported. Since Andrew was busy patrolling the borders and updating me about the happenings outside. "Gather ten of our warriors and get the truck. We have to help them!" I wasted no time on this. Since Amos' pack was the nearest to our pack, it was obvious that we were the ones who would help them. That's the law in the kingdom. My Delta drove the car while I sat next to him. "Have you seen the princess lately?" I asked w
