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
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.
Jaque POV . . "Jaque!" my stepmother's voice echoed in the whole house like thunder, jolting me from my spot. I was in my room and had just finished cleaning the second floor of this house. As much as possible, I would like to rest for a bit, but it looked like the word resting for me would only happen when I was already dead. "What does she want this time?" I muttered under my breath as I got up and dragged myself to the door. "Coming, Lauren!" I answered before she would yell again. Upon coming downstairs, a black ball gown with a sweetheart neckline covered my petite body. "Here!" I knew that was Lauren even if I couldn't see her face. The sound of her demanding voice was no longer new to me. "Take care of this with your life. Jasmine will wear this for the ball tonight!" "The ball?" I asked, surprised. No one told me about the ball. Oh, well! What's new in this pack? No one told me about special events like this. Except for preparing the pack's food and doing their la
Jaque POV . . I woke up, jolting on my bed when I heard my alarm on my bedside table ring, followed by my best friend's call on my phone. "Hah?! I said just an hour's rest!" I grumbled while groping the alarm. My eyes were still shut, and as I opened them and checked the time, I hastily got up and took my phone. "Hello, Kelly!" "Finally, you answered. I've been texting you, girl!" Kelly grunted. "Where are you? You're late for school, baby!" I groaned. "I know. I was just tired!" I muttered while taking out my PE uniform from the drawer. "I woke up early to clean the whole house!" dragging my feet to the bathroom, my slippers were scratching the floor. I heard a sigh from the other line before Kelly spoke. "I know. That so-called family of yours is horrible. Hurry up now. I asked Andrew to pick you up. Maybe he's on his way!" "Okay! I just uttered before ending the call. Andrew was Kelly's elder brother and the future beta of this pack. Just like Adam, he was also a
Jaque POV . . He suddenly got up, not minding that he was naked. He paced back and forth in front of me, feeling confused and stressed. "Adam, what's the matter?" I asked, a bit worried. I sat up and clenched the duvet tight to cover my bareness. My gaze was fixed on him. He abruptly stared at me, his mouth hung ajar. He shook his head when he saw a blood spot on the mattress. "Jaque!" he muttered. I could barely hear his voice, but it sounded gloomy. "I...I didn't expect this!" what?! I got up still holding the duvet and ambled towards him, but he stepped back. Was he avoiding me now? "Adam, we're mates. This is bound to happen. What do you mean you didn't expect this?" He messed his hair, feeling frustrated. A loud groan escaped his lips as he lifted his head like he was asking for an answer from the ceiling. "Why? Why her?" Why me?! Was that what he meant? "Why me what?" I questioned. My tone sounded a bit straightforward. It took him a while before he
Jaque POV . . It had been three days since the Masquerade Ball was held, and for those days, I focused on my studies. I was glad that I didn't see Adam lurking around the packhouse and the campus. He also graduated from this school a few years ago, and as the future Alpha, he was required to check the development of every facility and the status of everything in the pack. I hadn't seen Jasmine's shadow loitering around either. The last thing I heard was that Adam called for her presence in the mansion. She must have been jumping around like a five-year-old kid, considering her wish would be fulfilled someday. Or perhaps...SOON! "Hey, girl!" Kelly tapped me from behind. I was sitting alone on a picnic bench under these tall pine trees at the back of the school. My classes had ended 30 minutes ago, but I didn't want to go home yet. "Hey!" I greeted back with a smile. She sat across from me and placed a plastic cup of iced sweet americano in front of me. "I know you're gonn

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 T
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 . . 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
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 T
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
