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
Jaque POV . . "I'm starving!" I uttered while we were in the middle of resting here in the living room in Logan's mansion. It looked like the baby wolf inside me was the same as its dad, a foodie. "You're going to be strong and healthy, little pea!" I whispered. "What food do you want? I will cook!" Adam asked. He never left my side. He literally stayed with me the whole time. "I want something juicy and meaty. Can you cook me a steak? I have heard from the omegas in your mansion before that sometimes they see you cook!" I fully remembered their words for him when he was not around. The omegas would usually say our alpha is a jack-of-all-trades leader. He could lead, fight well, and do menial jobs like cooking. "Sure, why not!" He got up and strode to the kitchen. "Wait there. Just watch your favorite. I will be back once I am done cooking!" He even jokingly winked at me, making me chuckle. While I was alone, I couldn't help but think about Logan. How was he doing there
Jaque POV . . "No, you didn't!" I exclaimed, chuckling at his funny story during his Alpha Training. "Yes, I did. The high alpha in the training was shocked when he saw what happened. He immediately interrogated everyone, and I was kind of an obedient Alpha-to-be, so I was exempted from the interrogation and punishment!" Adam proudly uttered, narrating how mischievous he was in their training camp. He was just telling me that he pranked his fellow trainee, the future Alpha of Crescent Pack, by placing a fresh dead toad under his pillow. This Alpha was a bully, and he was also arrogant, so when he messed up with Adam, he had no idea that he messed with the wrong future Alpha. "How did you know he was scared of a dead toad?" I asked as I crossed my legs, being comfortable sitting beside him. "I had my ways of investigating. I asked one of the victims of his bullies and promised them a wonderful show. As simple as that, the victim gave me information about that future alp
Jaque POV . . "That is a bomber!" I whispered under my breath. The princess of the sea had a crush on Adam. "Adam, what do you think about it?" I asked the still-speechless Alpha, but he just glanced at me instead. "Huh?! What did you say?" His mind was flying. "I am sorry. I can't... I will leave you ladies alone!" He took the tray of food and hastily left, leaving me and Witch Anya alone in the room. "Hmm! Obvious, she has feelings for him, and he...is a mess!" Witch Anya chuckled. "So, my dear. I have prepared everything for our transportation. Potions for protection, invisibility, and strength. Also, I bought some toys and diapers for my grandson. I bought some baby clothes, too!" She showed me the shopping bags, and I was stunned at what she just shopped. Indeed, Witch Anya was more excited than me. My tummy was still flat, but she shopped baby stuff like I was giving birth next month. "Ahm, I just prepared my clothes and some blankets and pillows. Adam is now just wa
Amira POV . . There was that incredible feeling inside me that I couldn't deny when Adam got mad at this perverted human. When he gripped him by his collar and lifted him up. He was not scared that he also just exposed our kind. When he roared, I was his. It was just so nice to hear it. I couldn't help but amble toward him and pat his shoulder. "Adam, calm down!" I whispered near to his ear, glancing at me a bit and creasing his eyes on me. "You are now choking him!" I told him as I nodded at the guy who was literally on the brink of his death. "Didn't you do the same thing earlier?" He uttered, still furious. "Let him die slowly. I don't care if he dies in my hand!" He gritted his teeth and tightened his grip. "Adam, put him down and let the king punish him for what he did!" I moved closer to him, creating a tiny spark from the contact of our skin. He was still adamant, but when he glanced around and the only ones watching us were our kind, he gradually put the guy down.
Adam POV . . I was in my study room at the packhouse just doing some stuff for the Blood Moon, when suddenly a loud knock on the door made me squint my eyes. Who could that be could also mind-link me, no need to knock. "Come in!" I made my voice loud, showing not pleased with that continuous banging on my door. When it swung open, I was stunned to see Marco rushing with an anxious look. "What's the matter? You look like you just saw a ghost!" I told him, still a bit annoyed. "Oh! Believe me, Alpha. I am more than that today!" I raised my brow at him, still baffled at his words. He took a deep sigh and looked like he was organizing his thoughts. "Have you watched the news on human territory recently?" He asked, and now he was shaking. I just chuckled at him, thinking that was just a waste of time. I leaned back against the headrest and stared deeply at him. "You banged my door hard just to ask me such useless questions. Marco, I know you better than this!" "Alpha, I am
Amira POV . . I missed Adam. What I meant was I missed him. All of him. This was crazy. I had a mate, but I couldn't feel any special fondness for him anymore. I didn't even know when it started. "Ahh! This is insane!" I pulled my hair out of stress, and this was the one that Ayesha saw when she entered my room. "Princess Amira, are you alright?" She immediately came to my aid and brushed my hair with her fingers. "You know well that your hair is the crown of your glory. Why are you ruining it?" She ticked her tongue as she began adorning my hair with pearls and diamonds. "By the way, I came to say that Princess Nomiko wanted to invite you for tea time. She just summoned me this morning!" "Great! I will go. When will that be?" I immediately accepted Nomiko's invitation. I had never seen her for a month now, and I also needed her company. I needed someone to talk to about this. Someone who had no idea that much yet about us, about me and Adam. "That will be tomorrow?" Aye
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
