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
I had a sister. Her name was Demeter, and Alaric had killed him. No! Nomiko said accidentally... "How did you kill him? How old was she? Answer me, Alaric?" I shot him a series of questions. Nomiko became vigilant. She spread her arms to protect her mate. "Logan, it was an accident. Alaric never meant it!" Nomiko butted in. Alaric just rolled his eyes and took a deep sigh. He gently held Nomiko and pulled her behind him, covering his mate from me. "Nomiko, there is something you need to know!" He whispered. Alaric ignored my wrath. I stepped forward, ready to attack him, when he raised his hand at a stop sign. "You, too, Logan. Now that my mate has opened that issue!" He squinted his eyes at her mate, who was as baffled as I was. "What is it, Alaric? Tell me!" Nomiko demanded. I could tell, based on her gentle voice, that, just like me, she didn't want to be kept in the dark. "Demeter didn't really die. I just fulfilled her wish to leave the realm. She was burdened between Th
Adam POV . . "So, you're telling me that Katrina, one of Jaque's private servants, was Serena's spy?!" I repeated what Andrew had just told me. I was sitting on my swivel chair in my office, just resting a bit. I leaned on the headrest while waiting for Andrew's answer. "Yes. Right now, she is serving her punishment. I've heard from Kelly that the day after tomorrow, all of the spies in the kingdom will be whipped 100 times in the plaza. Everyone is going to witness their punishment. Miranda is one of them!" Andrew took the snowball from the table and shook it. "Isn't this the snowball Jaque gave you before you went to Alpha Training?" He furrowed his brows, curious. I just smiled at him. I glanced at the drawer of my desk and opened it. The tiara was still there, wrapped beautifully. "What's in there?" Andrew asked. "This? It's a tiara I bought on the island. The owner of the antique shop said that this belonged to a nymph. Her tiara was washed away by a typhoon a long tim
Logan POV . . "Where's Jaque? Where's my son? Where are they?" I threw these vamps a series of questions, as they kept glancing at each other. We were now in the palace, but we couldn't find any of their presence here. Not even a tiny aroma of my mate's scent wasn't here. "All we know is if there is an emergency, Christopher will bring the queen here. Since Orora is here, she hid your son from that crazy she-wolf!" One of the vamps explained as she twitched her lips. "Alright! Where is that doctor?" I turned around and faced these vampires. My fists clenched when they couldn't answer my question. D*mn it! I just brought these bloodsuckers back to life, and they couldn't even protect my own family. "Answer me, d*mn it!" "King Logan, we apologize. We don't know!" The one who spoke earlier uttered, earning her a growl from Thorin. "King Logan, please don't get mad at us. We really have no idea where Christopher is at the moment!" I was about to snarl at them when one of the va
Jaque POV . . Thorin lunged at Serena at a great speed, targeting her neck. And it was because she was still gripping my neck when Thorin bit the crook of her neck, she had no choice but to let me go. My wolf had fallen half-unconsciously to the ground, but I could hear some painful screams and growls from my surroundings. I could hear Collen and Doctor Williams coming towards me with their loud steps and voices. "Shiva, you have to shift!" Doctor Williams uttered. His voice was begging. I was trying, but my wolf and I were too weak to shift. "You have to get her out of here. I will help Thorin finish that crazy she-wolf!" Collen told the doctor. I had no idea what happened, but I felt Shiva's body was lifted. After a while, I felt foreign. The place was quiet, and the scent was something familiar. With my half-open eyes, I glanced at Doctor Williams, asking for a question. "You are in Master Alaric's room. Orora gave me a stone for teleportation in case of emergency. Shiv
Jaque POV . . I was shocked! My eyes widened in disbelief. We were frozen by time. Serena's snap was suspended in the air while I was watching my brother perform his power. Both Serena and Shiva couldn't move, but they were both awake, and their minds were active. Collen raised his hands, spreading them in the air while he chanted something in language, only the creatures in the realm of the gods and goddesses could understand. Orora told me once that we had chants and spells, and their languages were different from those ordinary spells, even a high witch couldn't understand them. But now, Collen was using them to save me, and I had to admit that when his body glowed, he looked exactly like a god. Serena tried to move her fingers gradually while my brother stopped the time. Even the furniture was hanging in the air. The simple chandeliers had moved to the side, and then it froze. I had to do something. I had to fight and help Collen. Once Serena had snapped her fi
Jaque POV . . I was watching Orora putting my son to sleep while Collen was petting his favorite leopard. I got to use to the present of different creatures in the house anymore. At first, it was a bit awkward seeing either a black bear or a leopard in the living room. But now, it felt like they were part of my little family. I left Shadow Rock for one reason. I ambled towards my siblings and kissed Kairen's forehead, who was now quietly sleeping. "Is the leopard staying here for tonight?" I asked Collen, who stopped petting his pet and shifted his gaze at me. "My babe is our guard tonight!" He smiled. "Why not rest now. Let Orora take care of Kairen, and I will see the surroundings!" He got up and was about to leave the back door when Orora stopped him. "Do the vampires lurk around?" She asked. "Yep!" Collen shortly answered. He strode to the back door and left. His leopard was left in the living room, along with some faes flying and humming. They surrounded my son wh
Jackson POV . . At the palace... This was one good operation that needed an enormous vacuum. All the spies should be put in sealed bags and thrown away into the ocean. Would Princess Amira like such gifts, though? I bet she wouldn't. "Take them all to the plaza. Let the whole kingdom know of these traitors in our lands. Whip them until they bleed and slowly die!" I was fuming in anger. With the help of some of our warriors in every pack and in the Shadow Rock, we had caught over a hundred spies working for Serena. Werewolves and she-wolves of different ages and ranks. But... The one I was looking for was not here. I knew she had changed the moment King Logan left the kingdom for over a year. I was aware that she had had a crush on the king since she was brought here to the palace. She thought she could hide it, but there were countless times I saw her stealing a glance at the portrait of King Logan in the library and talking to it like it was real. "Beta Jackson!" T
Serena POV . . I threw the glass of wine at the wall, shattering it into pieces. I had been hiding in this dilapidated house since goddess Alectrona signaled me to retreat. I wanted to end Jaque at that time, but her calling was way stronger than my urge. I had no idea what happened in their world that made her stop, but I was pretty sure it had something to do with Logan and his wolf. "That too!" I loudly spoke what was running at the back of my head, Tia came rushing along. I was gasping in fury when she saw me in this room. I couldn't even say that this was my room. I would never choose a rundown place to stay, not even for a day. "My lady, are you alright?" Tia asked, worried. She immediately crouched down to pick up the pieces of glass on the floor. Although she was an omega, goddess Alectrona had left a small amount of her power in her body, making her a little stronger than her fellow omegas. "Do I look like I am alright, Tia? I hate this!" I roared as I kicked th
Logan POV . . Upon landing, I almost broke the exit door with my bare hands. I couldn't wait to see Jaque. Kyle had called Draco, and he said that both the ladies and the children left the palace. Seriously, this had been Jaque's hobby when she was mad, and it was getting now on my nerves. "Any clue where those two go?" Jackson asked, leveling my strides. "D*mn it, Kelly. If something bad happens to you and our son, I'm going to put you in a cage!" He gritted his teeth as his jaw ticked. He was as furious as I was. "Did you call her brother? Maybe Beta Andrew has an idea!" I suddenly remembered. I glanced over my shoulder and noticed the Alpha mutt talking to someone on the phone... in secret. "Who is he speaking to?" I nodded as Jackson followed my gaze. "No idea. Let me find out!" He was about to approach the Alpha mutt, but I stopped him. "When it comes to him, let me do the talking!" I told Jackson, and he just bobbed his head. I strode toward the Alpha of Blood Moon
Logan POV . . "Can this plane get any faster?" Jackson slammed the door frame of the entrance door, startling some of the wolves sitting comfortably on their seats. I couldn't blame him. I also wanted to leave this flying metal and just summoned one of our witches to teleport us. However, for some unknown reasons, they all suddenly became unattended. I took a deep sigh, trying to formulate random reasons to fire back just in case my mate would go feral again, just like the last time. I still felt the pain in my shoulder every time I recalled her furious bites. "I promised myself that the last thing I would do was to make her upset again. How could that happen? Jackson, I thought you planned it well!" I was vexing my anger on my Beta, who was also at the edge of firing out. "Are you blaming me now, Logan?" His voice was loud, forgetting who he was speaking with. His eyes were also burning in both rage and anxiety. I got up and faced him. "Are you yelling at me, Beta?" I as
