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
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
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
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
Logan POV . . Thank goddess Diana, you are awake. Don't you ever scare me like that again!" The first thing that my mate heard upon waking up was my scolding, earning me a grimace from her. "I meant it, Jaque. What are you thinking fighting Serena by yourself?" "I didn't fight her by myself. She defeated the rest, and I was the only one surviving. I had no choice but to face her!" She was still angry because of that video that surfaced the entire kingdom. "Also, it's none of your business whether I will get killed or ~" "No talking about dying here, Jaque Davis. Keep that in mind!" I immediately cut her off. Didn't I just tell her that she scared me to death when I saw Serena strangling her neck? What's wrong with her comprehension today? "Alright!" She roared back. "No need to yell!" She crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the window. "What's the matter anyway? You are the king of a great werewolf kingdom. Someday, you might also take the werebear kingdom. You can ge
Logan POV . . "Whew! That was refreshing!" I rolled to her side, gasping and just staring at the ceiling. I moved my head to her side to see her reaction. I could see the glisten in her eyes, yet she still looked upset. I placed my hand on her naked body and kissed her cheek. "I love you!" "Refreshing, and I love you, your ass!" She moved to the side, facing me back. Instead of getting mad, I hugged her tightly and kissed her back. "Stop it!" She moved her shoulders, feeling tickled by my kisses. "Logan, stop. I mean it!" Her voice was a bit louder this time. She was indeed still upset. "I'm sorry!" I gently told her. I saw how she struggled when I forced myself on her, but in the end, she also stopped and began to enjoy it. And... Just like before, we made love non-stop. I loved it when she screamed my name out of love, but tonight, she screamed it out of anger, and she was even sexier than before. "Hmp! I hate you!" She whispered. She pulled the duvet, leaving me uncov
Jaque POV . . Even I was shocked to find out I was born from a lost pack, and it was also just situated in the kingdom. I leaned on my mate's shoulder while watching Amira and Logan bicker about Tia's sudden visit. My sister was on the edge of yelling at my mate, who was too stubborn to admit that he failed to check on the history of his kingdom. A lost pack was special, and the myriad of every pack's history. "We checked the books here, and it did say that there was once a lost pack before Shadow Rock had been built!" Collen butted in one more time. He was the one who led the search earlier, and with Orora's help, we found a thick from the restricted section, which was as ancient as the forgotten time. "Okay, so which pack was that?" Logan finally gave in. "Tell me so we can save it before Alectrona will harm the wolves there!" "I am the only one who can answer that, Logan!" I finally spoke. I saw his eyes anxiously staring at me while waiting for my answer. It says
Orora POV . . This one has been puzzling me since this morning. Why did indeed she choose the rogues in the white mountains wherein there were stronger and far larger packs in the kingdom? Unless the legend was true that the Alpha of Silver Crest was still there, hiding. He was known to be the ruthless and most terrifying Alpha before King Logan's grandfather arrived. I had been searching for that book that had the same content as one of the books in the moon goddess kingdom. I rummaged through the old books on the top shelves, but I couldn't find it. "Orora, how long are you going to look for that book?" Shiva asked. I had to look down at them, for I was floating in the air just to reach the top shelves. I glanced at the books scattered on the floor, stunned that they were almost covered by those thick and big books. "Are you trying to kill us with these pieces of paper?" That was Collen. "Let me just remind you that you are not the only one who can levitate!" He was ir
Amira POV . . My fists landed on his sturdy back while my roars went up the roof. I saw Ayesha run to me only to be stopped by Marco on her waist. "Alpha Adam put me down!" I hit him many times, but he just did the same thing to me by slapping my butt. "Shvt up!" He roared back, accompanied by another slap. "Until you learn, spoiled princess, you must be treated with such!" "Treated with such? Hey! Do you even know what you're saying? I have a mate. You shouldn't be touching me like this!" Too late to realize my words. It was really too late to take them back, for the next stuff my butt felt was a hard leather couch. "Ah! I was irked in pain as I scowled at him. "You bastard!" I got up and tried to defend myself, but he just held my wrists and pushed me back to the couch. "Don't push my button, Amira!" He roared, upset. "Because of your stubbornness, the werewolf kingdom is in trouble!" I was about to get up again when he stopped me with his growl. "You stay right there!"
Amira POV . . There was that incredible feeling inside me that I couldn't deny when Adam got mad at this perverted human. When he gripped him by his collar and lifted him up. He was not scared that he also just exposed our kind. When he roared, I was his. It was just so nice to hear it. I couldn't help but amble toward him and pat his shoulder. "Adam, calm down!" I whispered near to his ear, glancing at me a bit and creasing his eyes on me. "You are now choking him!" I told him as I nodded at the guy who was literally on the brink of his death. "Didn't you do the same thing earlier?" He uttered, still furious. "Let him die slowly. I don't care if he dies in my hand!" He gritted his teeth and tightened his grip. "Adam, put him down and let the king punish him for what he did!" I moved closer to him, creating a tiny spark from the contact of our skin. He was still adamant, but when he glanced around and the only ones watching us were our kind, he gradually put the guy down.
Adam POV . . I was in my study room at the packhouse just doing some stuff for the Blood Moon, when suddenly a loud knock on the door made me squint my eyes. Who could that be could also mind-link me, no need to knock. "Come in!" I made my voice loud, showing not pleased with that continuous banging on my door. When it swung open, I was stunned to see Marco rushing with an anxious look. "What's the matter? You look like you just saw a ghost!" I told him, still a bit annoyed. "Oh! Believe me, Alpha. I am more than that today!" I raised my brow at him, still baffled at his words. He took a deep sigh and looked like he was organizing his thoughts. "Have you watched the news on human territory recently?" He asked, and now he was shaking. I just chuckled at him, thinking that was just a waste of time. I leaned back against the headrest and stared deeply at him. "You banged my door hard just to ask me such useless questions. Marco, I know you better than this!" "Alpha, I am
Amira POV . . I missed Adam. What I meant was I missed him. All of him. This was crazy. I had a mate, but I couldn't feel any special fondness for him anymore. I didn't even know when it started. "Ahh! This is insane!" I pulled my hair out of stress, and this was the one that Ayesha saw when she entered my room. "Princess Amira, are you alright?" She immediately came to my aid and brushed my hair with her fingers. "You know well that your hair is the crown of your glory. Why are you ruining it?" She ticked her tongue as she began adorning my hair with pearls and diamonds. "By the way, I came to say that Princess Nomiko wanted to invite you for tea time. She just summoned me this morning!" "Great! I will go. When will that be?" I immediately accepted Nomiko's invitation. I had never seen her for a month now, and I also needed her company. I needed someone to talk to about this. Someone who had no idea that much yet about us, about me and Adam. "That will be tomorrow?" Aye
Adam POV . . I got up and fixed the hem of my sleeves while Camira helped Delmar get up. I was so furious that when he got the chance to stand steadily, I gave him a strong hit on the jaw, making Camira startle as he fell back to the floor. "Alpha Adam, what do you think you're doing?" She immediately stepped between us, shielding this impostor from me. He groaned, getting up for the second time. Still smirking at me while Camira faced my rage. "You can't pretend for d*mn too long, j@ck@ss!" I roared. "You are lucky, Camira is here. If not, I would have torn you into pieces!" I pointed at him, Camira snapping my hand. "That's enough!" She roared at me. "He doesn't fight you, okay? Whatever that is that makes you upset again!" I shifted my glare at Camira and mind-linked her. 'Believe that j@ck@ss all you want, but I am telling you!' I glanced back at him, who was now standing still while touching his jaw. 'He has a hidden agenda, and we are all in great danger if we do
Adam POV . . Just one ordinary day at the Council. I was busy flipping the pages of some documents Camira sent me this morning while browsing some of the reports on my laptop. I creased my brows when my eyes caught something. 'Camira!' I mind-linked our budget officer at once. 'To the office!' I gently uttered. Being the leader, you should be tough and aggressive. That was the teaching Amos planted to the staff here, but I was not Amos and would never be. I treated the staff here as my friends, at the same time putting a wall between us. Meaning, we should all know our positions. 'Yes, Alpha!' Camira responded. 'Shall I bring you something, Alpha?' She also asked. I could already smell her scent coming to my office. 'No! Just you!' I told her. I had my laptop, and the budget for next month's emergency funds for every pack was flashing on the screen monitor. 'Alpha, what's the matter?' She asked as she arrived at the door. I just nodded at her, signaling her to take the s
Adam POV . . "Witch Orora, can I come in?" Since last night, aside from that overwhelming feeling I shared with Amira, I felt something different. Something unexplainable. Something that only the witches could tell. When she just left this morning, I felt devastated, like I had lost something that was part of me. Like I had lost my heart and my soul. The door creaked open, and Orora's stern face welcomed my desperate look. "What is it, Alpha Adam?" Her tone was also nonchalant. Did something happen before I came here? "Alpha Adam, if you are just going to stare at me in front of my door, you can take a photo and leave!" I was nudged by her aggressive voice. "My bad. Can I come in? I need your help with this one. It is about Amira!" I heard her sigh and saw her roll her eyes before she opened the door wide and let me in. "Would you like some tea?" Her voice was still stoic but a little bit nicer this time. Also, yes, I was going to need a liquid to calm my nerves. "T
Orora POV . . Something was odd. I had been searching for that book in my library for hours but I couldn't find it. I had been floating in the air for hours and circling around these stacks of ancient books. I hadn't read that book for disguise in a long time, and now that I needed it, I couldn't find it. "Arrg! Orora, think! Come on!" I swayed my wand, and it formed a glitter in the air. That wand was a gift from the moon goddess itself. She told me to use it if something important needed to be fixed. For now, Amira's situation was THAT something very important. "Orora, we have a visitor!" One of my witches knocked on the door. "It is Princess Amira's mate, Delmar!" I immediately went down to the floor and stuck my wand on the side of my waistband while forming a fake smile. "Vina, stock them back. Hurry!" I told my witch, and she hurriedly used her power to put all the books back on the shelves while I went to the door. Delmar was indeed here, and he was waiting outside t
Amira POV . . "Delmar, I...I am just here. I won't leave!" I told him as I tapped his shoulder and tried to step back, but his hug was tight, and he was trying to catch my lips. "I miss you, my darling!" Before I could stop him, his lips had already sealed mine. However, the feelings were not the same. I felt my lips burning, and I was suffocating. I tried to suppress it, but the more I did, the more I felt I was drowning. Until I did my best to be released from his tight wrap. "Delmar, I am sorry. I just had a headache now. I drank too much last night!" I saw something in his eyes, but I couldn't put a name to it. He looked still upset and disappointed. "Alright! I will give you time to rest. I will come back this afternoon. No! Tomorrow! I will visit you tomorrow!" He said with a stern face. I was pretty sure he didn't like my reaction to the kiss he just did. "Okay, Delmar. See you tomorrow!" I just told him. When he left, I dropped myself to the floor. I felt weak
