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
Adam POV . . "I said you are a Princess Brat!" I stressed the words on her face. Well, unlucky for me, I was greeted by a loud crisp slap. My head was moved to the side, and I felt the world spinning for a while. I touched my cheek, which was still hot with her slap, and even could feel her palm on it. Well, I deserved that! "How could you say that to someone who saved your life?" Jaque exclaimed, angry. "Adam, I am disappointed in you!" I could see that in her facial expression. She didn't need to accentuate it. "You bastard alpha. You think of me that way after~" She paused and took a swift glance at Jaque. She retreated her index that was pointing at me and stepped back. "Shiva, I have to go now!" Without any delay, she teleported in front of us while glaring at me. It looked confusing, but I thought I saw some tears fall down from her aqua-blue eyes. There was an eerie silence for a while, and even Jaque was just gawking at the spot where her sister disappeared. It was
Adam POV . . Right straight to her room! I didn't ask for this! D*mn it! Anya, you were getting bolder, huh?! I was about to leave when I heard footsteps coming toward the door. My wolf senses wouldn't play a trick on me. I could hear her steps and smell her scent. D*mn, where was I going to hide now? "Ahhh! Ahm!" I paced back and forth in her room. My eyes rummaged through the stuff inside and saw a wide golden two-door type at the corner. I rushed to that door and opened it. "A bathroom!" I whispered, talking to myself. The bathroom was wide and luxurious, fitted enough for a princess like her. Everything was made of gold, pearls, and diamonds. Some were from other precious stones like ruby, topaz, and sapphire. I was so busy admiring the luxurious water closet that I forgot, I was hiding from the owner herself. I immediately saw the wide tub and jumped into it, submerging myself in the water. I gasped at the cool water coating my whole body. I forgot that she had a me
Adam POV . . I slammed the door of my room, creating a loud thud. I heard footsteps afterward. I could perceive the scent. It was Jasmine. Then her knock came next. "Alpha Adam, I have heard you have arrived. Can we talk? It is about the infected wolves in the healing room!" I was trying to avoid her, but when it came to the pack, I had to face her. Jasmine and I finished our relationship a long time ago. It was me who ended it. That was the time when I realized how I messed up my life. When Jaque found her second-chance mate, a deep-rooted feeling of jealousy and longing carved my well-being. When she was reported dead for the first time, I also almost lost my life. I rejected Jasmine on that day. She didn't accept it at first, but when I told her what she did to Jaque and the bracelet, she finally accepted my rejection and made a deal to remain civil for the sake of the pack. "Wait up!" I called and fixed myself first in the mirror. I was still wet and I needed to chang
Logan POV . . What had just happened? My head hurt, and I felt like a dozen trucks had just hit me. I shut my eyes and tried to open them again, only to feel the same thing. Then I heard some whispers around me. Women's voices and some men's, too. Where really was I now? "His hands moved!" One of the women uttered. "Call Prince Alaric now!" I heard some footsteps rushing, either coming in or going out. But who was Prince Alaric? I gradually opened my eyes and squinted them for a while. Faces were staring back at me. Blurry, and how were there plenty of people in this room? Who were these people? "Who are you guys?" I asked. My voice was a hoarse. I cleared my throat and asked again. "Where am I?" "King Logan, glad you are awake!" One of the men wearing a white laboratory gown spoke. "We are the medical staff in the palace. Prince Alaric will be here soon!" The nurses checked my eyes with a tiny flash and my pulse. "I am a king, and who is Prince Alaric?" I saw
Logan POV . . The physician in the palace told me to visit the woods, so my wolf could scent the natural smell of the forest. This was what I had been doing for a week, but it looked like Thorin had taken a huge hit. He was not showing any signs of recovery. He was also unresponsive when I talked to him. At the moment, I was strolling in the deepest forest in this realm, and everything was not exactly natural in colors and views. It honestly reminded me of Collen's sanctuary when I met him the first time. No wonder he liked colorful jungles with different species of animals. This was his original home. I sat on the grassy ground under this tall tree with protruding roots and leaned my back against its sturdy trunk. I lifted my head and glanced at the leaves that were covering the sky. Although this was the realm of the gods and the goddesses, it looked like Earth. It had the rays of the golden sun, the blue ocean, and the wide meadows. The animals were a variety of colors.
Adam POV . . He was standing dominantly in the middle of the winder stairs. His hands were gripping the handrail. He then climbed down, his steps were regal and domineering. He stood next to the princess, and now both of them were staring at me from the strands of my hair to the tip of my leather plain-toe shoes. "The king is asking you, Alpha Adam?!" Princess Amira even seconded. "Why do you want to see his mate?" There was sarcasm in her tone, and something more. Something that... I couldn't put my words on it. "Jaque is my friend. It is just normal that I will visit her and~""She is your queen, Alpha Adam!" The king cut me off, roaring. "You can't see her now. You can go back to where you came from!" He uttered and was about to turn around when he glanced at the gift I was carefully holding. "Is that the one you~""From the island?" I also cut him off. I was never afraid of King Logan, but I had to be honest. I admired his way of ruling. It was just that we were really op
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 fin
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
