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
Jaque POV . . "What's going on? Why is it dark? It's still ten in the morning!" I was carrying Kairen in my arms when I was awakened by the noises of the omegas outside of the room. When Witch Anya came, she was already carrying our usual escaped bag, and now, she added an extra gym bag for my son's needs. "We have to go back to Vermont, Jaque. That darkness means something dangerous!" She told me. She glanced in my direction once in a while while picking up some of Kairen's clothes and diapers. "Victoria, please help us!" She told the high witch when Victoria entered the room. The high witch seemed to know what she was about to do, and with just a snap of her finger, all of my son's milk bottles and formulas were already in the bag. "We need Collen to help Adam carry our stuff!" Victoria suggested as she also packed some of the potions they just made a few weeks ago. "Alright, let's go!" We all went out of the room. The happenings outside of the castle were chaos. I could
Jaque POV . . "Jaque, we have to go to the dome now!" Witch Anya nudged me. "We have limited time. Come on!" She took two bags from the bed while Victoria took my son's stroller. Just in case he would like to lie down, at least, it wouldn't be hard for me. "Alright, I am ready!" I told them as I carried my son in a baby sling. We all went out to the room, and as we climbed downstairs, we heard the uproar outside. The omegas in the mansion ran everywhere while some of the warriors came to our side. "Our queen, we are ordered to bring you to the dome!" One of the warriors uttered as he took the two heavy bags that Witch Anya was carrying. "No need!" Victoria butted in, making the warriors surprise. "We can teleport there!" She added as she held the warrior's hand. "She is the high witch. She is telling the truth. We can teleport there!" I told the warriors, and they just bowed to us. "Protect the pack and your Alpha!" I told them before we disappeared from their sight.
Logan POV . . I fixed my shield and tightened my leather belt. My sword was attached to my waistline on my side. My gear was intact. My helmet was on the marble table. The door of my room opened, and Alaric came into view from the door frame. "Hey, are you ready?" He asked, serious. He was just wearing his usual outfit. Black leather pants and a long English black coat. He had his powers, so he didn't really need to prep like me. This was my first time wearing a warrior's armor. "I am. I am doing this for Jaque and Thorin!" I told him as I picked up my helmet. We were going to Alectrona's kingdom. The great war was imminent. There was just one feeling that had been bothering me for a long time. "I wonder what is going on with them now!" I whispered as I sternly stared at Alaric. "You mean Shiva and the rest!" He confirmed. "They are fine. Your mate is heavily guarded. Plus, the fact that she has power on her own!" He smiled. That was true. Confirming that Jaque had indeed
Logan POV . . My energy was draining, but every time I thought about Jaque, it gave me the spirit and strength to fight. We were outnumbered, but I could feel that the moon goddess had given us the will to finish this battle. I looked around and saw pools of blood everywhere. My face was full of sweat, and I was gasping for breath. I searched for Alaric and saw him as good-looking as before. D*mn the power of being a vampire. Even the strands of their hair were always in style when they jumped or lunged at their enemies. I glanced at the wolves, whom Shiva once trained, and I could tell, they were very good. Their healing powers were heightened, so every time they had cuts or deep wounds, they were cured fast. However, our enemies were decreasing in numbers. Some of them were burned alive. Thanks to Alaric's fireball. Other werewolf warriors were wounded deeply, and it took them a while to heal their wounds. We were also fighting with the werebears from the 6th mountain. Th
Logan POV . . I was stunned when the whole militia of Alectrona ran to the side, protecting whoever it was who had just arrived. They all shielded someone from our sight. I smelled Alaric's scent coming near me. He was covered with blood and dirt, but it wasn't his blood. It was the blood of our enemies. He tapped my shoulder and glanced at me meaningfully. "She's here!" He whispered, good enough for the werewolves and vampires near us to hear it. "Alectrona?!" I asked, confirming. Alaric just nodded. So, she was the one who stopped the battle for a while. "Great. Now, I don't need to look for her anymore!" I told Alaric as I stepped forward. Alaric followed a few steps away from me. He was showing everyone that I was still their leader, even if my wolf abandoned me. I stopped in the middle, about a hundred meters away from our enemies. My eyes rummaged through the hundreds of warriors. Valto was in the middle, smirking like a crazy man. Then their line dispersed in half.
Orora POV . . I was feeling dizzy. The venom of this snake was strong. I wanted to lie down and sleep, but I couldn't. Every time they shook me, I felt like my brain was also being shaken. I was praying to the moon goddess that my mate had been informed by Collen. That was his plan. Since Amira and Alaric had already told the king of Shadow Rock about us, Collen needed to do the last task. "Who among them dared to challenge my authority?!" The lizard king was furious. "I am!" Both Victoria and I answered with the same tone. I was never scared of him, even when he was that enormous. He might have forgotten who made him wriggle like a little worm. "It was me, lizard king!" I uttered with sarcasm. "She is lying. How can she challenge you when she is this weak now. By the way, your warriors just exposed your plan!" Victoria exclaimed. We were both trying to buy them some time until the rescues arrived. The reptilian king glanced at his warriors. I smirked at how scared t
Victoria POV . . Honestly, the way he protected me earlier was making my heart flutter. The way he stared at me could make me melt. But the way he spoke to me could really make my head explode into fury. What was this feeling I had for him? Could he really be my mate? Could this be love? What? Love?! No! No way! There was no way that I would fall for someone I used to play tiger ride or wolf ride just last week. There was just no way! "Hey, what are you thinking?" Orora nudged my arms. "You've been muttering something, but we couldn't understand everything that you're mumbling!" I was muttering?! I didn't even realize that I was doing that. "Nothing! I was just thinking about our situation now!" I glanced at Collen, who was standing near the bars. He was observing the guards outside. At the moment, we were in the dungeon. This place was stinky, dirty, and smelly. It looked like some creatures were left here rotten to die. There were rats and bugs everywhere. I
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
