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.
Jaque POV . . I had to do this. I had to help them. Our enemies were getting stronger and bigger in numbers. Where did they come from? It seemed to me that they never decreased at all. Adam and Andrew had been doing everything to protect the pack, but it looked like something was missing, and I had no clue what it was. 'Moon Goddess, I have just given birth to the heir to the throne, and his father is in your world at the moment. Please, show me a sign that he is alright. Show me any signs that Logan and Alaric are fine!' I couldn't help but kneel in prayer, asking goddess Diana for help. I shut my eyes and bowed down, feeling the immense power surging in me. 'Goddess Diana, allow me to help fight our enemies. Allow your daughter Shiva to reign her power. This isn't just for the goodness of every good creation but to cease the darkness that is devouring your children. Allow Shiva to cooperate and unleash her power that once dominated and defeated the goddess of darkness!' I pra
Jaque POV . . Shiva let out a menacing growl, terrifying the werewolves and werebears coming our way. I searched for my target, the one and only, Serena Rinks. However, she was nowhere to be found. I glanced at Amira, who was busy drowning the wolves and spinning them in the air. I felt proud of her. She had come at the right time. Although I was curious why she suddenly became a stranger these past few weeks. I almost got caught when a werewolf planned to lunge at me. It was a good thing that Shiva's agility was faster, for it was heightened. All that she had was heightened, honestly. Her height and width. She was bigger than the last time we shifted. Her speed, sight, and hearing were five times faster and clearer. She was different. She was very strong. She just bit the head of the big werewolf and shook it like nothing. Then she threw it away like it was just a piece of a small rock, hitting three werewolves. The impact was so strong that the three werewolves were also
Jaque POV . . "Hello, Shiva!" Serena sarcastically greeted me upon shifting. She ignored being naked in front of everyone. Well, she was always like this. I could vividly remember how she tried to seduce Logan on our first meeting. When they were both naked in the swimming pool. "Or should I say, Jaque Davis!" Her tone changed to stern, and her stare was deadly. I knew even in my wolf form, I could still mind-link her. I was a Shadow Rock member, and even if it was unofficial, I was their queen, which meant I could link every member that was associated with the kingdom. Shiva ambled toward her while Kelly followed just two steps away. She fixed her gaze on Serena, but I could see her eyeballs move from left to right once in a while. My best friend was vigilant. 'Don't forget the branches of these trees, Kelly dearest!' I mind-linked her, reminding her of the dogs that could fly. She snarled, giving me a sign that she got what I meant. Then, I shifted my focus back to the b!
Jaque POV . . I was irked in pain and growled at that creature, who used its power on me. I was surprised when I saw who she was. An omega. A very thin and short omega. An omega that looked like she could be flown away by the wind. I could recall her. She was Tia. She once deceived me with her innocent look. It was a good thing that Katrina was not someone who was to be trifled with. She immediately found out that she was Serena's spy, and Katrina, as she was, kicked her out. She literally kicked Tia out of our small sorority group. That's what my girlfriends called our small circle of friends. But now, she looked taller and powerful. There was something different about her that I couldn't put a name to it. She fixed her gaze on me while helping Serena get up. The latter snickered, knowing somebody would always help her. "Huh?! You think you can defeat us, Jaque?" She strode towards me. The impact of being thrown away to the trunk of this sturdiness tree was strong and excr
Logan POV . . This was not going to be easy at all, but the price was too d*mn humongous. My freedom from Alectrona and my wolf. I badly missed my half. Valto swung his sword in the air right just after piercing it through my shoulder. We had been fighting for a couple of hours, and I had to say, the only thing that was keeping me breathing was my mate, Jaque, and my wolf, Thorin. "Huh?! You are not challenging enough to be my opponent!" Valto spat out. "You are unworthy to be called Rogue King. What are you going to do now, human?" Valto snickered. "Even the prince of vampires can not do anything for you. Look!" He pointed at Alaric, who paced back and forth and had no idea what to do. It was whether he would help me or watch me die. "He can't even help you now. He will watch you die in my hands, Logan Knight!" Valto raised his sword in the air, ready to swing it to my neck. "You can meet your grandfather now in h*ll!" That I wouldn't let it happen. I could barely get up.
Jaque POV . . The cool breeze of the spring blew upon my skin. Strands of my hair danced to the whistles of the wind. Warmness clothed me. Life's satisfaction engulfed my well-being. I felt peace. "Finally, you are awake!" A familiar voice nudged my senses. "You've been out for weeks!" Witch Anya said. "Weeks?!" I was out for weeks. "The war!" What about it?! Had it been finished? Did we win? I tried to get up, but Witch Anya stopped me. Now, I realized I was in Logan's room in the palace. That's why it felt comfortable. I was in my mate's room, and his scent lingered everywhere. I missed Logan so dearly that I couldn't keep myself from hugging his pillow. "The war was interrupted. Victoria and Orora are still looking for some answers. The moment Serena and Tia left, the deranged wolves also disappeared. The cured one, however, stayed. They are still recuperating!" Witch Anya replied. "What about Adam? How is he?" I got up and tried to get out of my bed, but my fake mom
Orora POV . . The beam of light was too much that it could blind our sight. We had to cover our eyes with our hands while watching how the transfiguration of the king happened. He floated in the air while his head was lifted in the sky. The light cracked the strong ancient bricks and shook the towering castle. We heard Collen, who was still in his dragon form, growl. Then his voice at the back of our heads came next. 'Have you found the dragon king? Hurry up! Something is happening here!' 'Yes, we have found him. He is still unconscious, but he got his wings back!' King Logan responded. However, upon replying to Collen, King Arabic Reubus opened his eyes, which were still in full while. But his looks were like that of a god. The sackcloth was gone. He was now wearing a white pair of pants but still topless and barefooted. He gradually landed in front of us, staring at us with such curiosity. "King Arabic Reubus, welcome back!" King Logan greeted with a chest fist, which onl
Orora POV . . "Answer my question, Witch? Where is she now? What did you do to her?" Of course, he was referring to his late wife, the former queen of the dragons. His grip on my neck was getting tighter, and I was now being choked. I could feel the air passage in my lungs restrained, making me gag. "K-king Arabic Reubus, Queen Latifia is just there. She does not go anywhere!" For him to feel that his wife was living in his memory, I never let him feel that way. I never used the past term to make him know that his queen and mate had been dead for millenniums. The king of dragons glanced into the tomb. His eyes glistened when he saw his wife's tomb was indeed on the spot where it was earlier. It just moved to the dark corner for a few minutes, but also came back to where it was. "How? How could that be? I saw it. I saw it was gone!" He shook his head as he blinked his eyes. He was still gripping my neck while I was lifted in the air. Now, I had to hit his chest with my f
Orora POV . . I had to speak with him before it was too late. If he was King Arabic Reubus, then he needed my help. He needed my magic to get his kingdom back. I levitated until I reached the end of the castle, but he was not there. I focused as I closed my eyes and took only one object in my mind. Imagine I was the king and wanted to get my wings back. Where would I go? "The underground!" I whispered to myself. Yes, if the wings were his source of power, Alectrona would keep them away from him. She would make sure that the king would never find them. "Underground, where are you?" I was like a crazy woman conversing with myself. Then I heard a loud thud from my right. I glanced around and saw nothing except for a brick wall and a huge shelf with books. "Who would put a shelf here? This wasn't even a library?" I shook my head and ticked my tongue. I was about to turn around and leave when I heard another noise from the same spot. I levitated to my right and observed the wall.
King Logan POV . . If he was here, then I had to find him. I could guess he could still remember me, if ever. The kingdom was chaos. The shape-shifters shifted into different creatures. Some mimicked Collen as a dragon, but Witch Orora had seen that coming. She put a spell on Collen. They could not copy his image. If they tried hard, they would just end their life. I strode to the entrance of the castle, watching the four warriors on alert. "You!" One of the warriors stepped forward with his sword in his hand. "Glad you remember me!" I sneered as I ambled toward them. "We'll never forget you, Thorin. You are a traitor, and you killed one of us!" The other warrior responded. He also prepared to attack as he swung his sword at me. However, I had just gripped the blade, ignoring the blood spouting on my palm. "What are you doing?" He asked and was shocked when he saw me not affected by the wound. "You are not hurt!" He added. The rest of the warriors immediately surrounded m
Amira POV . . "We are here!" Orora uttered. We glanced down and saw nothing but dark clouds. "We can't see anything. Only these dark clouds!" I told my sister. "Orora, can you do something?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "I can't make these clouds clear, but Collen can!" She made her voice louder so we could hear her. I glanced at the king and noticed his quietness. He might be thinking about Orora's words earlier. "Collen, can you make our path clear?" Orora asked one more time, and Collen, as the golden dragon, let out a menacing growl before he blasted a huge fire, dispersing these dark clouds. When the sky was as clear as immaculate, we looked down and almost fell on Collen's scales when we saw the lost kingdom of Diaphora. I knew it was the lost kingdom of the dragons. The old twin castles were still there, standing magnificently and towering over the remaining towers. "So, it's true!" I uttered. Although my voice was covered by Collen's wings' flapping, I
Amira POV . . I couldn't wait to see Alpha Adam Hayes, and hopefully, we weren't late yet. I had this anxious feeling that something was not right. I was waiting for Orora and King Logan inside this stinky room. I rummaged the room with my eyes and grimaced my nose when the strong smell of a cat hit my nostrils. I couldn't help but rub my nose with my fingers. King Logan and Orora were giving the two betas and the alphas of every pack important instructions for the coming of Alectrona. The kingdom needed to be prepared in advance. They made the dome safer, added more protective layers and spells, and renovated it wider. There were also some stretcher beds for the elderly and the kids. Rooms for pregnant women and their babies were built along with their basic needs. Some healers like Demeter and the imperial physicians were also on alert, preparing herbs, medicines, and some potions to fight wolfsbane and silver, just in case. As for my kingdom under the seven seas, Ayesha
Amira POV . . (The same time of event with the sparring) "You are lucky we didn't kill you right away!" Orora pointed her wand at Delmar, who at the moment was now in the dungeon in the Shadow Rock Palace. The dungeon was located in the 3rd basement of the king and queen's luxurious home. The other day, we made a trap for Delmar. I called him to meet me in the woods. Delmar was very cautious since the girls found his real identity. However, due to my behavior with him, I still got his trust. He obeyed at once when I said that I wanted to meet him because it had been a while since the last time we saw each other. "What's the meaning of this?" Delmar's furious gaze was fixed on me, ignoring Orora's words and Shiva's presence. "Amira, why did you lock me up here? What have I done this time?" He glanced at my sisters, who were just sneering at him. Orora chained him in both hands. The metal chains were attached strongly to the wall. How did we take him here? Easy! I ma
Adam POV . . We both had wounds and bruises everywhere. Swollen eyes and bloody noses and mouths, but the more we prolonged this fight, the more we felt energized. I guessed no one wanted to yield. The cheering was getting louder as the training field was getting messier. "Come on! We want more!" The crowd roared. "Is that the best you both got? We've seen those moves before. We want a fresh fight!" The crowd was uncontrollable. As my sight caught Dameron's sneer while gazing at me, my wolf prepared for his next move. It looked like Kylo had already foretold Dameron's moves. "You heard them, Delmar. They are bored!" Dameron snickered. "It is time to finish this!" He stepped back and forth and then breathed deeply. "Huh! Better yield. You will never win!" 'He is exhausted. He can't take another round. He is just pretending to be strong, but his energy is draining!" Kylo's voice sprang up at the back of my head. Although he had been helping me since this fight had begun, t
Adam POV . . I kept in mind what Reuben just said about Dameron. As I was walking to the training field, I heard the groans and screams of the warriors sparring together. Most of Alectrona's warriors were shape-shifters. According to Reuben, she liked the shape-shifters more than any creatures in our world. Well, of course, since they had more advantages than us. Once they shape-shifted, all of the characteristics of the creature they mimicked, including their powers, were adopted by them. I immediately saw Dameron outside of the circle, staring sternly at the two fighters fighting. Their bodies were already covered by blood, but they didn't stop. What kind of sparring was this? Fight to death?! Maybe Dameron smelled my presence, so he glanced in my direction. He smirked upon seeing me and stood up from his chair. "Quiet!" He roared, and the whole training field fell into silence. "Our main guest is here!" His smirk was getting on my nerves. "Everyone, just in case you don'
