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.
Logan POV . . I was enraged! I felt darkness devour my remaining sanity. Thorin was growling nonstop at the back of my head. 'That Alpha mutt dared to touch what is mine!' He had been reciting the same words over and over, and I couldn't blame him. I, too, would like to rip Adam Hayes into pieces until even his parents couldn't recognize him. I was the king. I knew that even without using most of my powers, I could tear that mutt in a snap. 'He touched Jaque!' I repeated what was Thorin saying since Jackson found that out. And my mate, my so-called innocent sweet mate. What had she done to me? The possessiveness within me was kicking so strong that I just wanted to put Jaque in a cage now. 'She is mine!' I growled. I drove at a breakneck speed going to Blood Moon Pack. I decided to challenge their Alpha, Adam Hayes. I wanted to know what made Jaque lie down and spread her legs for him. Was he better? 'Was he a better f*ck?!' 'F*ck, I'm going to kill him!' I was explo
Logan POV . . We had been wasting time for a couple of hours. Every time I would open the topic about the deranged werebears, he would start a new story about his kingdom. He would command his wives to entertain us. He would always find ways to channel the main reason why we came here into another conversation. Just like now, he began speaking about how the werebear kingdom had started. "My grandfather was ruthless!" He let out a crazy laugh, enough to get my ears twitch. "He invaded four small werebear tribes and began a small kingdom. He made those tribe chiefs his advisers!" "Impressive. Making your enemies your advisers!" Beta Jackson chuckled. "He was vicious!" Henry butted in with a sneer. "Indeed. The vicious werebear king of all. Those tribe chiefs couldn't do anything. They were all under his feet. Even their wives were offered to him, and their sons became the warriors of his kingdom!" "Hmm!" I just reacted. That reminded me of someone. My own grandfather. He cre
Logan POV . . We were on our way to the werebear kingdom. It was reported that King Bodvar's grandfather bought the whole island to build his kingdom, and now, as time passed by, it was progressing. Upon arriving at the airport, my Beta and five warriors took our luggage and strode straight to the exit. The Immigration checked our belongings. One of the officers sternly stared at us while opening the zipper of our luggage. This officer was not human. He was a~ "You must be King Logan from the Shadow Rock!" He whispered, making me gaze deeply at him. "I am Henry, assistant of King Bodvar. I am here to pick you!" He uttered as he raised his hand, and five brawny and bearded men appeared at the door. "I see!" We let them carry our stuff and followed them closely. The airport was crowded, not because of the passengers waiting for their flight, but because these humans couldn't stop staring at us. We were like celebrities being surrounded by our fans. It was a good thing I was we
King Bodvar POV . . At the Werebear Kingdom... "My king!" The door slid open in my office. I lifted my head and closed the book I was reading. I creased my brows at my assistant and slammed the book on my mahogany desk. "Forgive me, my king. This is a letter from the Rogue King, King Logan Knight!" "What's the matter?!" I took the envelope from my assistant and read his letter. It has his stamp marked in red at the bottom of the paper. The logo of his kingdom was on top, along with its name, Shadow Rock. "Hmm! Prepare a feast. We will have important visitors tomorrow night. The mighty Rogue King and his Beta are coming to our kingdom!" I placed King Logan's letter in the drawer and got up. I fixed the collar of my suit before patting Henry's shoulder. He had been my assistant for years and the only one I could trust. "My king, what is the purpose of his visit?" He asked, curious. I walked past him and stood straight near the glass wall, watching the sunshine. My building
Logan POV . . "I want to buy their new branded phones. I have read on their news that they have new models of phones every day. And their sauna there is wonderful. Logan, can we go tomorrow? I will ask Katrina to pack our stuff in a jiffy. She will also go with us, right? Witch Anya, too!" She was thrilled that she couldn't stop talking. She paced back and forth with excitement. "Can Jackson and Kelly go with us? Oh no! They can't, right? Jackson has some work to do here while we are gone. But Kelly and Jack can go, right? A hundred percent they can go with us!" I had to stop her from imagining wild. "Sweetheart, you have to stop there for a while and think about this through!" "But why? The kingdom has three private planes. There is no problem, just in case. We can bring five to ten omegas and warriors with us. There won't be any danger, Logan!" What was going on with my mate? She suddenly changed, I thought. "I know. You are right. Let's go home first and talk about th
Logan POV . . I was irked in pain while the royal doctor healed my wounds. I had a wolf, but Shiva had done so much that even my healing ability couldn't heal them. "Sh!t! That's hurt!" "Forgive me, King Logan, but your wounds are deep!" The royal doctor uttered. "The queen is scary!" He added. Our imperial physician had been with us since my grandfather's reign, and he was like a grandfather to me. He was one of the wolves who could comment like this about Jaque. "Doctor, you have no idea!" I told him. When she was biting me earlier, I felt she also bit my clavicle. "Could you also check my bones?" The doctor coughed hard at my question. "Why?" I sternly asked him. "Yes, you are right on that one. Your clavicle is broken. We have to put on a bandage and you must wear this for a while!" He showed me the sling, and my eyes widened. "You have to wear this until it is completely healed. And no sparring or sports for you!" "F*ck! I have never worn any of that in my entire
Jaque POV . . I was enraged when that vamp put her hands on my mate's shoulders and moved her annoying face near his cheek. I didn't care if she was saying something, but as a responsible mate, he should have pushed her. But heck no! He also moved his head to the side, meeting her lips. From my angle, they were almost kissing each other. I couldn't control Shiva's emotions at that time she shifted right straight into his room, making Katrina clamp her mouth in shock. She even sprinted to the corner when she saw how big Shiva was. They had never seen me shift before. They just saw my claws, my fangs, and the glow in my eyes. Some of them had never seen my wolf yet. This would be the first time. I printed quietly out of the room, remembering my goal. I didn't want to create a show in front of these vamps. It's not yet the right time to appear in my wolf form in front of them, especially to that vamp b!tch. But I could take exception to my mate. I hid in the corner while waiti
Logan POV . . "Amber is right, King Logan!" Cassius seconded. "There is someone in the room who is more qualified to be Prince Alaric's temporary successor!" This old vamp didn't want to give up. This was what Alaric was telling me before. There were hard-headed elders in the council who were also greedy for power, and the first one on the list was Cassius. "Alright, like I said. Present me that qualified member of yours!" I gently slammed the table, a tad bit impatient. I glanced at the doctor who had been silent since the meeting commenced. I had no idea what was running in his mind, but his calmness was somewhat intriguing. "King Logan, that vampire is no other than me!" Suddenly, Amber, the Council leader's daughter, answered. Some of the vampires at the table nodded, agreeing with Cassius and his daughter. However, Doctor Williams was just staring at everyone. His head didn't move, but his orbs were glancing from left to right. He was stealthily observing his fellow va
Jaque POV . . "Logan, you're back!" I hastily ran toward him and hugged him tightly, ignoring that I was wet all over. Logan hugged me back while his stare was with Doctor Williams. The doctor had just looked down at the floor. His lips formed a thin smile. "I had just arrived from the mansion of the leader of the Vampire Council. Since not all vampire leaders can come tonight, I just gave Cassius a ride to the palace!" He cupped my face and kissed my lips, much to my surprise. The kiss was possessively deep and somewhat threatening. When he released my lips, he glanced back at the doctor, who was still bowing his head. "What about you, my queen? What have you been doing since you woke up?" There was some hidden meaning in his questions, and the tone of his voice was sarcastic. "Oh! I was swimming with Katrina when Doctor Williams arrived for the meeting!" I glanced at Katrina, who was carrying a towel. She hastily strode toward me and hung the towel on my shoulders. "I s
Jaque POV . . I slept for dinner. I guessed Logan made me exhausted. The moment I woke up, his scent lingered on the pillow beside my head. However, his presence in the room was gone. Where could he be? I glanced at the digital clock flickering on the wall. It was late nine at night. I got up right away and went to the bathroom first. My legs were still shaking when I tried to walk, and aside from that, my private part was sore. 'Logan, what did you do to me?' I gritted my teeth, now regretting that I allowed him to make love to me the whole day. He was indeed the king. His actions proved that. His strength was the evidence. I washed my face while staring at myself in the mirror. 'Goodness!' I cried out in my thoughts. Red spots everywhere on my neck and on my chest. 'Seriously, how can I even get out of the room with this look?' It was so unfair that wolves could heal fast when it came to wounds and bruises, but why could that not happen to love bites? I tried to pu
