Jaque POV . . "Lalaine Swan, my favorite teacher!" Serena walked past me and hugged this Mrs. Swan. So, her first name was Lalaine. "I'm sorry that our queen spoke to you that way!" "Excuse me, Serena!" I was about to clarify something, but she just raised my hand to my face. "This is the reason why I asked you to come!" She was smiling from ear to ear while I was still panting in anger. I glanced at Logan, asking for a little help, but he just fixed his gaze on me. "Thank you, Serena. You think too highly of me!" Mrs. Swan answered while taking a little glance in my direction. "I understand that our lady here acted that way. She is not refined and delicate yet!" She twitched her lips and cringed her nose. Her eyes were speaking in volumes while staring at Serena. Then she turned and glanced in Logan's direction, who was standing at the door frame. "My king, greetings to you!" With a slight bow like she did to me earlier, she gave Logan a sign of respect. "Good day,
Jaque POV . . Inside the Lambo, the atmosphere was silent and cold. I would like to speak and break this ear-piercing quietness, but I was kind of scared of my mate. "Do you want to say something?" Logan questioned without glancing at me. His eyes were focused on the scenery outside of the window. "Are you mad at me?" I asked, anxious. I heard him sigh and then shifted his stare at me. "Life in the palace isn't as sweet and exciting as everyone thinks it is. Jaque, I am aware that the staff are giving you a hard time!" He was aware of that?! I stared back at him with a baffled expression. "But consider it as a training. You're going to be the Shadow Rock Kingdom queen, and you will experience more than that in the future!" "Are you trying to tell me that I have to accept everything even if it's not right?" I was more confused than ever. "You're still young. You will learn a lot more as time passes by. Jaque, I'm not saying that you have to swallow everything. I'm j
Jaque POV . . Morning! The weather was getting chilly, and the sky was getting dark. It was the first month of winter. I woke up as early as six, thinking that I was going to move out today. I glanced at the man sleeping soundly beside me. His face was serene like he was not a ruthless and demanding king. My eyes traveled down the tip of his note, and then his slightly parted lips. Those lips were so warm when they gave me a good night kiss last night. I moved to the side and kept on checking my mate. He had a hard jawline. Goddess, he was handsome. I pretended to be asleep when I saw his hand that was wrapped around my body move. He groaned, then mumbled something. I thought my mate was dreaming. "Jaque!" He called my name. His voice was soft, I could barely hear it. My eyes were shut, so I didn't know if he was already awake or still sleeping. "Good morning, my beautiful mate!" He gently kissed the tip of my nose, making it cringe. He released a soft chuckle at my react
Jaque POV . . After three days! At school... I was in the same spot where I usually had my rest day. Not far from me were my so-called warriors. Next to my side was Katrina. Logan had strictly instructed them to be with me, but I begged him to at least be discreet. Not everyone at school knew that I was the king's mate, and I wanted to remain that way. "My Lady, I bought you these snacks outside of the school!" Katrina put an expensive-looking sliced tiramisu cake and creamy milk tea with black pearls inside. "They look delicious. Please, try them!" She gave me a teaspoon and smiled from ear to ear. "Katrina, you don't have to. The snacks outside of the school are expensive!" Logan gave the owners of restaurants a go-signal to serve me and give me the food I wanted. He also ordered the branded boutiques in the city to give every clothes I chose for free. He said to them that he would take care of everything. Logan indeed kept his promise while I was away in the palace
Logan POV . . "King Logan, the issue about you having a wolfless half-human mate creates some noise in our world. They don't exactly appreciate it, and they're kind of adamant about accepting Jaque Davis as their queen. We have to discuss this with you in private because ~" "Isn't that what we're doing now, Alpha Amos?!" F*cking been in this Council's conference room for almost an hour. Alpha Amos had been speaking about Jaque and her qualifications as my mate and my queen. "Alpha~." Amos was shaken by my deep tone. I had not used that tone for a long time, and the last time I used it, a group of rogues were slaughtered in just half a day. Alpha Amos once stayed in Shadow Rock. He was actually born there under the care of my grandparents. It was my grandfather who gave him his position in the Council. He knew most of the secrets of the kingdom. He was aware of the reason why I killed the original Rogue King. "What Logan was trying to say was you already seem to choose
Kelly POV . . I was dumbstruck. I had no idea what to do or what to say at the moment. I was just foolishly standing here next to my best friend with her mate, and in front of me was my... mate! He was dropped-dead gorgeous, a hunk I should say. D*mn, those muscles protruding in that tight-fitted shirt he was wearing. His eyes... tantalizing. I was completely mesmerized like I had been bewitched. I was usually a chatter girl, but now it looked like I had just lost my tongue. Also, it seemed that my ears were now damaged. What did he say earlier again?! 'Mate' My wolf, which I just met two months ago right after my eighteenth birthday, answered my question. 'He is our mate. Isn't he the most beautiful werewolf we've ever seen, and his touch? Oh, yeah! Can we f*ck him now?' My perverted wolf couldn't control her carnal desire. Well, who could blame us? I was eighteen and hadn't been kissed yet, so when he touched my cheek earlier, I felt weird. There was this heat coming out
Jackson POV . . 'D*mn that she-wolf!' I was cursing Jaque's friend in my thoughts. I had been waiting for my mate since I had Aspen. I had been praying to the moon goddess day and night to grant me my wish. I was a good beta in the kingdom. I obeyed every law Logan approved. I sacrificed my life and happiness only for one favor... to meet my fated mate before I reached thirty. Yes! When I said life and happiness, that meant she-wolves, beautiful women, hooking up, and one-night stands. I preserved my manhood for the sake of my mate. The feeling of having my first time with her enticed me a lot. The experience of exploring each other, touching every curve she had, and passionately kissing her till we both gasped for air. Those feelings... were ruined in not even a day! 'F*ck her!' I slammed the steering wheel with my hands, creating a painful impact which also disappeared in a second. 'Yeah, f*ck her next time!' Aspen barged in. He was purring in delight, enjoying my
Jaque POV . . "Jackson, I'm asking you. What did you tell him? What did you talk about that made him upset?" I was beseeching Beta Jackson to explain to me what had just happened. Not a long time ago, Logan and I were just delighted enjoying the food and each other's company. We were sharing stories about what we did for the past three days at his work and at my school. However, it was not a long time ago that he went out of the restaurant with Beta Jackson. I could see earlier from the glass wall that they were talking about serious matters, but why did my mate suddenly abhor me to the core? What could be the reason? "I'm sorry, Jaque. It's not my story to tell. You have to speak to him privately about that!" Jackson simply stated. "We must go back to Providence Villa. We are in the territory of humans, and they are now circling us like we are dead meat!" I just nodded at him. He placed his hand on my back, guiding me to the car where Kyle, Katrina, and I usually rode.
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'
Amira POV . . "Okay, we can solve the first option. What about the second? What's the second option anyway?" Shiva asked. "By the way, Orora, do you have at least some drinks here?" Shiva added, making us both glance in her direction. "Oh! I forgot to serve our dearest sister slash queen!" Orora joked, earning her a slap on her arm. "Don't tell us that you're pregnant again. Goddess, Shiva, Kairen isn't one year old yet!" Orora scolded her while sneering. "Shut up, you!" Shiva just smiled back. "I'm not pregnant, okay? And if so, won't you foretell it? You are the witch in the family!" I liked it when we had bonding like this. It built a stronger relationship for the three of us. However, we had more important matters to deal with at the moment, and I just didn't want to waste time. So, I did what I had to do. Twirling my index over an empty glass, forming some liquid. Shiva and Orora were just watching me, and when I asked Shiva what flavor she liked, she just sighed.
Amira POV . . My fists were clenched over my chest. I had been pacing back and forth in front of Orora and her ancient book. We were in her potion room in her coven, still looking for solutions to find, Adam. He had been missing for months now. Beta Andrew was already back on track and was acting as the substitute Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. Their members voted for him to replace Adam for a while. I jolted on my spot when Orora suddenly closed the thick, dusty book, making a loud thud. "What? Have you found something?" I asked my sister, whose eyes were shut, and breath was held. "Orora, do not scare me like that!" I exclaimed. She then opened her eyes and took a deep sigh. "There are two choices!" She calmly said. However, I could tell that there was more to say about those two choices than what her facial expression and tone of voice were screaming. "What are they?" I asked. The front door swung open, and Shiva's queenly look blocked the door frame. She then glanced
Adam POV . . He chuckled softly. Doubt was visible in his eyes. "What's the matter? You don't believe me that I can help you get your wings back!" I sternly told him, a tad bit pissed. "Oh! I do believe you. You are the Great Delmar. Her best warrior. I am just doubting your loyalty. Are you sure you won't go against your own words?" He asked me this time, squinting his eyes at me. "Look! I don't really remember my past life, but perhaps there is a reason why the moon goddess allowed me to come back here!" He twitched his lips at the mention of the goddess Diana. "Do not let anyone hear you saying that. This world is not a fan of your moon goddess!" I creased my brows at him. It was obvious from his words that he, himself, wasn't Diana's worshipper. "I lost my faith in them. She let me stand in front of the court with my neck and hands chained in big metals. I was denied to speak!" He gritted his teeth, and his jaw ticked. The veins on his neck were visible, and his rage
Adam POV . . I had to get out of here. I had to find a way to leave. I had to find that portal to go back to Earth. Now that I have found out the truth about my past life, I had to clear everything to her. I was Delmar in my past life, and Princess Amira was and would always be mine. She was my woman, who I treasured since she had come of age. Although any memory of my past was still a blank space, I would find a way to figure this stuff out. I had been in this realm for almost a month and was considered one of the slaves here. At the moment, we were in this dry land where the sun never shone and the sky was dim. One of the slaves who had been here longer than anybody else said that it was always like this. We dug dry soil and put them in the mold to make bricks. While we spent our days here on the ground, Alectrona's warriors spent their time looking down on us. The bricks we made were for the building of their defenses. "What a stupid act!" I reacted as I threw the hoe o
Jasmine POV . . Delmar's kiss was hot. I was not sure if it was because of the mate bond that I loved it or if he was just a good kisser. I found myself moaning as my tongue danced with his tongue while our lips were tangled. Aside from that, the feeling of pleasure was mindblowing. Who could not feel this highly alert sensation when a gorgeous guy in front of you was kissing you deeply while he raised your leg on his hip. His hardened member was poking the between of your thigh. Plus, someone behind you, another good-looking guy, was pinching your nipple from behind while kissing the crook of your neck. Sh!t! This was too much for me to handle, but when I checked my wolf, she was completely fine. She was enjoying the two werecats a lot. I moaned in between our kisses. My palms pressed Delmar's shoulders when he thrust his member into my wet folds, ignoring that we still had our clothes intact. My wolf protested when he stopped and just stared at me. I flinched a tad bit when
Jasmine POV . . I ran like the wind, tripping on the protruding roots from the ground. I had been running for hours, escaping from these two creatures that were chasing me. They were mere shadows when facing the strong light of the sun, but invisible forces when the giant leaves blocked its beams. I had been gasping for air and wanted to quit, but my mind was set not to let these two unknown forces win. I tripped for the third time, and it hurt a lot. I checked my knee, which was now bleeding. "D*mn it!" I whispered as I crawled to the nearest tree trunk to hide and rest for a while. Although hiding was futile, I still hoped I could run away from them. What did they want from me anyway? I gasped, holding my breath when I heard the rustling of the dried leaves from the ground. My palm clamped my mouth as I curled myself into a ball, hugging my knees. The wound was now healing, thanks to my wolf. "Where are you, oversized pup?" One of the shadows spoke, looking for me.
Amira POV . . "Princess Amira, greetings to you!" The six-year-old high witch smiled at me while she stepped down from Collen's back. This tiger groaned impatiently, protesting. "Collen, you've never seen your sister for quite a while. Why be mean?" She slapped the tiger's back, making him snarl at me. "Shift Collen, we all need to talk!" I commanded in my princess tone, and he immediately obeyed. Upon transforming into his human form, he raised his hands for a hug. "Amira, our lovely and amazing sister who is head-over-heels in love with her fake destined mate!" There was sarcasm in his voice, earning him a scowl from me. "Oh! Come on. The girls told us everything. It was a heck of drama for all of you. For the first time, aside from simple bickering!" He shrugged his shoulders. "Which happens once in a while. This was the first time that you all argued because of a mere man!" "He is also your friend, Collen. So shvt up!" I was getting pissed, and at the same time, I w
Amira POV . . "Impossible, Ayesha! Impossible!" I had been convincing my servant and myself of the truth that I found out the other day. Convincing that it was not real. It was just a figment of my imagination or a part of my power manifestation. However, the more I said to Ayesha that it wasn't real, the more I felt that I was lying to myself. "My mistress, you said it yourself. You've seen Delmar naked once before, and you've seen his pride fully with your own eyes!" Ayesha was too vulgar to say it, but that was what I liked in her. Subtlety wasn't her best suit. She had no filter at all. "Ahm. Yeah, I did. Was I drunk when I said that? That was sooo a long time ago, Ayesha. How could you remember until now?" I twitched my lips, abashed at her scandalous grin. "Yes, my princess. You were a teen then and had a huge crush on him. If I am not mistaken, that was before your eighteenth birthday. You wanted to sneak out and meet him in the woods before he would go to his missi
