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
Jaque POV . . I was gasping for breath. I was sweating all over. My belly was getting heavier as time passed by. Now, I was on my due month, according to Witch Anya. This big boy was ready to see the world. "Jaque, can you still do it? Can you still walk?" Adam asked me, worried. We had been walking and hiding or resting for a while for four hours, and my strength was running out. "I don't think I can continue to walk, Adam. I am really exhausted now!" I told him with my pleading eyes. Without further ado, he strode to the tree and hid behind it. I was wondering what he was doing when suddenly Kylo's head peeked at us. Adam shifted to his wolf for me. He picked up his clothes on the ground with his fangs and lifted his chin, staring at Witch Anya, who just petted his head and smiled. "Thank you, Kylo!" Witch Anya uttered before she glanced at me. "Jaque, you can sit on Kylo's back!" I nodded. As Kylo knelt his legs so I could reach his back, Witch Anya helped me ride on it
Jaque POV . . Nahun's wolf's eyes were bloody red, totally different from those deranged wolves we saved. This wolf was prepared to kill or die for his mistress. I stepped back. For once, terror occupied my thoughts. I was thinking of my baby, who was ready to see the world at any moment. "Witch Anya, we have to escape now. I don't think I still have time!" I whispered to my companions, making them glance at me. "Lily, you are so pale!" Ayesha uttered, holding my cheeks that were losing color. We all seemed to be awakened when Kylo began growling nonstop as he moved forward. 'Leave now. I will take care of this sh!t!' Adam mind-linked all three of us, and I shook my head constantly. 'No! Adam, you have to go with us!' I winced in pain as the first contraction occurred. "Witch Anya, help!" I whispered. Beads were now all over me. 'Go now! I promise I will follow you. Think of your baby, Jaque!' Adam kept on mind-linking us while his gaze was fixed on the crazy wolf
Jaque POV . . Ayesha left to notify Amira about our new situation. We were like wild animals wandering in the forest. 'Where are we going this time?' I mind-linked the two. Kylo was glancing around, being attentive and vigilant. Witch Anya's orbs were turning to complete white, summoning someone. 'I suggest we have to go to the castle. Collen can help us!' Adam mind-link back. 'We can have the Coven's protection and the faes, too!' He snarled, sniffing the woods. Our enemies were near, but we couldn't see them. Until... "Apparent Bestiae (Appear, you beast!)!" Witch Anya roared, and a black grizzly bear suddenly appeared in front of us. Its fangs were gleaming from the sunrise. Its full black eyes were gazing in rage. Its growl was echoing, scaring some faunas on trees. Upon seeing their intruders, they all flew away to the sky. However, instead of being terrified, Kylo growled back. He had never shown fear even if this grizzly was twice as big as he was. I remembered Th
Adam POV . . I could hear her. I could hear her scream. If only I could take the pain she was having at the moment. "Haaaah!" Sh!t I had been pacing back and forth in front of her room here at the castle. "Hmp!" She had been there for a while. I glanced at Collen, who had arrived just a few minutes ago. Our stares met. While I was deadly worried, he was doing the opposite. He was at ease at all. He was even crossing his hands over his chest while leaning against the wall. "Aren't you worried about your sister?" I asked, a bit annoyed. I stopped in front of him and stared deeply at his glowing eyes. "Shiva could handle great pain in war last time. Labor pains are nothing to her!" That was when we heard another scream from Jaque. It was ear-deafening that even Collen was startled. "That was... a bit different!" He uttered in a whisper. He was more like confirming that his sister was indeed in excruciating pain. "You have no idea about giving birth, haven't you?!" I asked,
Serena POV In a faraway land... . . "My queen, we have news. Jaque Davis has given birth!" Hmm! I just sneered at the news I had just heard. I was expecting this. I raised my hand and signed my spy to leave my chamber. The poor and scared wolf sprinted right away. Yes! Since the dark goddess had given me this power to rule the lands, I was invisible and inevitable. They had no idea that I had been watching them. They were unaware that I had spies everywhere. They were ready to serve their new queen. Some were forced to kneel before me. With just a little trick, scaring them to take away their loved ones, they agreed to obey my commands. "Give my orders to the leader of Yorkshire!" I willed. I stood up to my golden throne gifted to me by my mistress. I had never met her, but I heard her voice once when she entered Tia's body. She gave me orders to destroy Shiva. At first, I had no idea who she was talking about. However, when I remembered that Jaque's wolf's name was S
Orora POV . . 'Alaric, Amira! Come to the land of the reptilia. Collen has shifted to his dragon form to save Victoria!' I didn't think twice about telling them about Victoria anymore. They had to come here quickly. Collen was just blowing fire to the vast forest. The reptilians ran and tried to escape the heat and flames, but a few of them had been burned alive. 'What the heck is Victoria doing there? We don't have any problems with the reptilians. Do not touch them, and they won't touch us!' Alaric explained. Everyone knew that the reptilians were dangerous creatures in nature brought to Earth by their reptilian god, Talon. However, they were isolated from other creatures. They had their own lands and own life. They didn't mingle with the other creatures even if they were just separated by forest borders. 'You have to tame Collen. We're on our way!' Amira butted in. 'Goodness, Orora. Talk to Collen now. That wildfire can reach the human lands and the other werewolf packs
Orora POV . . Sometimes, Alaric was really annoying. But I could understand him. All he wanted was for his siblings to be happy and safe. Now, he was using his authority again. However, how could I tell my mate about this? My siblings and I had just talked about my decision to live in Ruben's kingdom, and he exclaimed and refused. He demanded the dragon king's presence in his castle in Yorkshire along with the clans of vampires. "A penny for your thoughts?!" That was Shiva, almost giving me a heart attack. I pressed my chest while giving her a glare. "Wow! The most powerful witch is startled?! Unbelievable!" Shiva shook her head while smiling. "Don't ever do that to me again, Shiva. It isn't funny!" I told her while staring at her belly bump. "How's my niece doing?" I asked as I touched her belly. The baby kicked right away. "I think she already answered my question!" I smiled at her. "Hmm! She is as strong as her aunts. What can I say? By the way, Logan told me about yo
Amira POV . . "There are lots of problems to solve not just here in the Atlantis, but also in the woods. First, we have to focus on the problems here!" "We will do as you command, Princess Amira. Commander-general Amet, what do you think?" One of the leaders of the Seven Seas asked my well-trusted warrior, who I could tell was pissing my mate off in silence. "Hrmm! Before I draw out my opinion about this, I would like to know the future prince's opinion first!" He was deliberately testing Adam's wit. I was aware that Amet had never had a good relationship with Delmar in the past. However, Adam had no idea about that. He couldn't remember Amet as one of his best warriors before. "I agree with your Princess, Commander-general Amet!" Adam made his voice louder. "The Atlanteans are for the water. Therefore, before you deal with the problems on the land, you better fix the problems in your own surroundings first!" He was right. "Since, Amira!" He intertwined his hand with my
Collen POV . . "Hrm! Collen, Victoria is fine now. She said she is still feeling dizzy, but she can already walk normally!" Orora uttered while smiling teasingly at me. 'I'm the one who can't walk normally!' I told myself while my orbs were at her. "I can see that!" My mind was gentle to her, but my mouth was the one that was not cooperating. I saw her twitch her lips upon hearing my aggressive tone. "Victoria, you scared us in the camp. I am glad that you are okay now!" Beta Jackson tapped my arm before ambling towards the grown-up Victoria. "You've changed physically!" He also left a handsome smile, making my heart race in anger. "Thanks, Beta Jackson. I am not used to my new look yet. But I promise to work hard on this!" Goddess, her voice had changed, too. She was indeed a lady now. "Collen, aren't you going to greet Victoria?" Orora called, signaling me to come forward. "Hello, Victoria. I am glad that you are okay now!" I simply couldn't produce any long sent
Collen POV . . "Are you sure about that? Beta Jackson, you are making a huge accusation if that is not true!" I exclaimed. My heart raced faster than usual. I was still gasping for breath when Orora came back, shaking her head. "It is the truth, Collen. I saw it with my eyes. She is now as tall as ~" "Don't say it!" I stopped him right away. "I don't want to hear it!" I whispered. I wanted to calm down, but my mind was foggy at the moment. "Orora, what have you found out?" "I can't find any answers to this phenomenon, Collen. I'm sorry. For now, we have to speak with her. Hopefully, she will allow us!" She reached for my hand and smiled. "I'm sure your friend will be fine, Collen!" I could see the genuine words in her tone. "I hope so. I don't want to see her growing up. I can't handle it just yet!" I told her while looking at the room where Victoria was. "What did you say? She was growing up?!" Orora asked, confirming. "Victoria was miraculously growing up?!" She ex
Collen POV . . What was this I felt at the moment? I was uneasy and somewhat unsettled. I was thinking of someone, and I hadn't seen her for a long time. I glanced around the wide garden in the palace and wandered for a while. My golden orbs flickered upon seeing a bee buzzing on top of this lavender flower. "Lavender!" I burst out in a whisper. I could recall someone who loved lavender so much. "Victoria!" The six-year-old high witch. No! A thousand-year-old high witch but was stuck in the body of her six-year-old self. "Hey, Collen!" Orora came in. "Have you seen Shiva? Or have you seen Amira come by?" She asked. Her face looked plastered. Her hands were sweating while they were clenched. Her eyes were glancing around. "I haven't. Why?" I asked as I observed her. She was anxious, but why? "Do you want to talk to them?" "Yes, I want to say something to you all. I already called Alaric. He is on his way!" If my thoughts were occupied by Victoria, Orora was also som
Adam POV . . I was woken up by the loud ringing of the alarm outside or whatever that squeaking sound that was irritating my ears. My eyes squinted as I spread my arm to my side and felt a soft familiar skin. She was still in a deep sleep and goddess; she looked gorgeous and at peace. I just couldn't wake this goddess-like beauty beside me. I gently touched her soft pinkish cheek while staring deeply at her long and kneeling eyelashes. "What kind of kindness or courageous act have I done to have you as my reward?" I whispered. However, the loud ringing or sound outside was making my ears twitch. I creased my brows at the door and then shifted them to the sleeping beauty, who seemed to not be bothered by that annoying squeaking sound. I kissed her cheek, and she moaned. "Are you awake?" She whispered, smiling at me. I kissed her lips this time, and she wrapped her arms around my neck. "I have been watching you, my love!" I whispered. "That sound woke me up!" I added, a li
Amira POV . . "That was great!" He placed a soft kiss on my lips before he rolled over, lying next to me. He lay sideward and brushed the strands of my hair, making me moan. "My love, when are we going to make our relationship final? I can't wait to announce to everyone that you are my Luna and you only belong to me. You already have my mark!" Adam whined like a kid. Seriously, when did he learn to be cute? I also lay sideward, facing him. "When everything is settled. When there's no more Alectrona on our way. When the peace in every kingdom is reached!" I gently told my mate, touching the little hair growing on his jaw. "Adam, your stubble beard looks good on you!" I told him while my fingers played on its jawline. "Do you like it?" He asked, placing a soft kiss on my forehead. "If you want, I can grow my hair!" "No! I want it this way. Don't grow it into a beard. You look much more handsome this way. Also, I like its roughness!" I smiled at him as I moved closer. The du
Amira POV . . "So you've got this information from the nymphs in the forest?" Orora clarified. "I can't believe it. That Jasmine is really vicious!" She was seething in anger. We were at the Blood Moon Pack packhouse, having a meeting with Adam, Beta Andrew, Demeter, Collen, and Orora. We also summoned Shiva to come and join, but due to her pregnancy, she couldn't attend. King Logan had been keeping her company. My sister was in her 2nd trimester now, and my niece couldn't behave herself inside her mom's womb. Shiva complained a lot about morning sickness and body pain. Well, the last time I saw her, she looked like she had swallowed a whole watermelon. What about now? I bet the princess of Shadow Rock Kingdom was as strong and as fierce as her aunts. In addition to that, as pretty as we were. Collen got up from his seat and strode to the floor-to-ceiling glass window. He watched the scenery outside while muttering something. "What are you mumbling, Collen?" Alpha Adam aske
