Adam POV . . Andrew faced back and forth in front of me. He sometimes glanced at me and then stepped back. Obviously, he was trying to say something but couldn't. "Come on, Andrew. Spill it!" I told him, a tad bit annoyed. Then he stopped and stared deeply into my eyes. "Promise me you won't get mad. Listen for my explanation first!" He raised his hands, placing them between us at a stop sign. "What is it?" I raised my brows at him. Was it about the pack? "If it's about the pack, Andrew, I need to know!" "Jasmine is asking for you!" He gently uttered. "That's it?!" So what if she asked about me? Even if I rejected her years ago, she was a member of the pack. "No! There's more!" He cleared his throat first, then began talking more. "We found her speaking with Serena one time in the woods!" My eyes formed into slits upon hearing it. "She was the one who told Serena that Jaque was here!" "What?!" I curled my fingers into fists. "Wait! I told you to listen to every
Amira POV . . "What the heck? You called me a pervert?!" He was seething with anger. I immediately picked up the towel from the floor and wrapped it around my body. "You deserve it, pervert!" I roared back. "Get out of here. I need to change my clothes!" I pointed to the door, hoping he would leave, but he stayed in front of me, just standing while staring deeply at me. "Get out!" I repeated. "Pervert, huh?!" He smirked. "I will show you the true meaning of that word, princess!" Before I could define what he was going to do, he already pushed me against the wall, holding both of my hands. He raised them above my head and gripped them tightly. "What are you doing? Alpha Adam, let go of my hands!" I told him angrily. However, he remained steady. Until he ambled, gradually filling the space between us. "A-Adam, let me go!" I was a bit scared by his expression. He was enraged yet calm. His eyes were glowing from his natural color to his wolf's. "You will regret tonight,
Adam POV . . D*mn this! I wasn't able to control myself earlier when I kissed her. I wasn't supposed to do that. I wasn't supposed to kiss her. I still had feelings for Jaque, and that was my goal. To get her back from Logan. To pursue her again, but what now?! I could still feel the taste of her lips. Sweet and soft. It was so good to nibble. The deeper I kissed her earlier, the stronger the urge I felt to do more than kissing. If I wasn't in my right mind, I would have laid her back on the bed and done something I would regret for the rest of my life. 'Kylo, talk to me, dude!' I nudged my wolf, who was dormant after the kiss. 'What's happening with you?' Yet, he didn't reply. He was just lying down in the corner, blankly staring at the wall. 'D*mn it, buddy. Let's focus on Jaque. She's the only one I want!' I told him, and he whimpered, feeling in pain. 'I know, it is hard. That's why we have to take advantage of this time that King Logan isn't around!' I gulped the last
Amira POV . . After willing a droplet to follow Serena's scent, the rest of us wandered into the darkness. Serena couldn't just attack the wolves earlier, for they would retaliate. They would wait for the evening to come so the humans wouldn't see their doings. "Open your eyes. I can sense her near!" Orora warned us. The only wolf with us had already shifted and was also vigilant, sniffing everything he thought was a lead. Andrew's wolf's eyes were sparkling blue, the color of the ocean. "Where's Collen?" I whispered as I glanced around. Everything was covered with darkness. However, with our powerful eyes, everything seemed to be just a daytime. "He shapeshifted upon arriving, so no one knew he was with us!" Orora whispered back. Suddenly, something moved in the forest just across from us. Andrew immediately jumped to see what it was. We followed at once and saw a bitten wolf, still whimpering. Andrew sniffed its scent and lifted its snout. He also checked his wounds a
Adam POV . . She was lying on the bed so serene, so calm. It was like she didn't do something massive today. After releasing almost all of her power earlier to save those wolves, she lost consciousness in my arms. I carried her bridal style and placed her here in one of the guestrooms. There was this urge that was telling me to bring her to my room, but a part of me was also whispering that I was cheating on Jaque. Honestly, my mind was a mess since that 'kiss thing', and I wanted to hit my head hard on the wall, punishing myself for what I did. I heard her moan and moved her head to the side, showing her soft neck. My Adam's apple bobbed at the sensation I felt, imagining digging my fangs into her marking spot. I shook my head at that thought right away. When the door gently opened and Orora's smiling face peeped into the tiny space, I got up from the edge of the bed and stepped back. "No! No! You don't need to do that, Alpha Adam!" She uttered, stopping me from leavi
In the realm of the gods and goddesses... Logan POV . . Alaric and I had been training for hours, and my human body couldn't take any blow anymore. I fell to the muddy ground a hundred times and begged for Alaric to have a rest, but he didn't allow me. "Come on, Logan. You can do this!" Alaric shouted while staring at me. He never helped me stand up. I carried my own weight, using my knuckles to dig the ground. My hands were now weak, and my legs were shaking. I was full of fresh and dried blood. Sweat and blood mixed all over my body and my face. I was also gasping for breath. My heart was pounding really loud. My head was almost kissing the mud. I was topless, and my jeans were already ripped. I lifted my head and stared at my trainer. "Come on, Logan. You can do this!" I knew I could, but my human strength also had its limits. "I...can't...take... anymore blow!" I told him in my shattered tone. Even my voice was completely exhausted. Alaric crunched down and
Alaric POV . . As early as the annoying bird that kept on chirping on the branch of the tree near my room, I woke up to pay someone a visit. Someone I hadn't seen for a while now. What did she look like? Did she miss me, or did she even remember me? Which was which I didn't care at all. I would like to know what happened that she had to do that horrible stuff before. I jumped on every branch of the tree to reach the entrance where Logan and I entered months ago. I saluted the warriors when they saw me jump from the high pine tree in front of them. "Good morning, warriors!" I greeted them while they kept staring at me like they had seen a ghost. "Have some breakfast at the main hall. Tell Maggie it is an order from your Master Alaric!" When they heard my name, that was the only time that they bowed to me. "Greetings, Prince Alaric!" They also uttered in unison. "Yeah! Sure. No time for pleasantries. Just in case my mother asks where her firstborn is, tell the moon god
Logan POV . . I felt a little bit better, a little bit stronger, and a little bit faster. Whatever the moon goddess had cured me indeed helped me a lot. I had been in the gym for six hours now, and I was still on the go to train and hone myself. With every kick and punch I did, I was thinking about the two important ones in my life, Jaque and Thorin. My mate and my wolf. One punch! It was all about Jaque's sacrifices. She was alone on Earth. The heck, I had no idea how she was these days. I missed her so much. One kick! That was my guilt for what I did to Thorin. I badly hurt my wolf, and only the moon goddess could tell if he was going back to me or would treat me as his enemy forever. One punch to another. One kick to another. I was not even satisfied that I took the spear from the wall and spinned it. My whole body, my legs, the whole me danced to the rhythm of my pounding heart as I practiced with the sharp blade and heavy metal of this deadly weapon. After that, with
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
