Logan POV . . "King Logan, reporting!" That was one of my warriors in Rigors' pack. He had been staying there incognito to report everything that was happening in that pack. "Proceed!" I simply replied. "The coffin is here!" He uttered, alerting me. "He has just taken the pack. He is now their new alpha. "Alright. Stay hidden. Keep me posted!" "Copy, my king!" We ended the mind-link. However, after a while, another mind-link from another warrior spy came through. She was from Agatha's pack. "King Logan, there is something unusual going on here. The wolves start acting crazy. Like their eyes were turning gray. They are becoming deranged!" "What?" That shocked me a bit. "Stay hidden. Don't get bitten. We'll be there in a moment!" "Yes, my king!" My she-wolf warrior replied before we ended the mind-link. I needed to tell this to my mate and the rest of the group. I mind-linked Jackson first and told him about the two packs that were Alpha-less. "That's cra
Logan POV . . He was indeed strong. He had the power that Alaric had. He could create a fireball. He had already burned the houses of the pack members here. Their houses were totally burned and turned into dust. He sucked the blood of the elders and pups, making their Luna anguish even more. She was blaming herself for being blind and stupid. "King Logan, my pack is gone!" She told me while kneeling on the ground. "I don't have time to babysit you, Luna. I need to save your pack!" I told her rather. I half-shifted into my wolf and lifted my head into the sky. I let out an unwavering command. 'Stay away from Lycus. You can't defeat him with your claws. Protect the wolves and escape this pack. Find help from your neighboring packs. Now!' 'But King Logan, what about you?' Their Luna asked. I glanced at her and smiled. 'I can handle him. I didn't tell her the truth. Go now. Before he kills all your members!' Their Luna got up and shifted. She let out a howl, sending her me
Jaque POV . . "Orora, what's the news in Rigor's pack?" I couldn't help but ask. I had a strange feeling that something was happening there, and Logan was in danger. "No updates from one of the warriors that you commanded yet!" My sister replied. We had been preparing for the coming of Alectrona, whether in the flesh or through her vessel. I paced back and forth, my hands were fidgeting, and I was shaking all over. Although I didn't feel any chest pain or something else, I was not comfortable staying with the warriors here at all. "My queen, these are your bows and arrows!" One of the blacksmiths in the palace reached me for the special bow and arrows that I personally requested. I hired ten trusted and capable humans as the kingdom's blacksmiths for something. They were the maker of my silver daggers, swords, spears, and bows and arrows. "Thanks, Kelvin. How many arrows have you made?" I asked this young blacksmith. When he first came here, and that was after the war,
Adam POV . . I had just gotten a mind link from Andrew that it was chaos outside of the pack. The councils were all dead. They were caught dealing with the werebear king and were also part of Serena's spies. I couldn't believe Amos and the rest could betray the kingdom. "Adam, son. We have to help them!" My father uttered. I agreed with him, but it looked obvious and easy. Why didn't they touch Blood Moon Pack? "I have a call from our neighboring pack that Amos' wolves were just cured by Queen Jaque. They were all lying on the ground, naked!" My Delta reported. Since Andrew was busy patrolling the borders and updating me about the happenings outside. "Gather ten of our warriors and get the truck. We have to help them!" I wasted no time on this. Since Amos' pack was the nearest to our pack, it was obvious that we were the ones who would help them. That's the law in the kingdom. My Delta drove the car while I sat next to him. "Have you seen the princess lately?" I asked w
Adam POV . . It was already dark when I arrived at the pack. I saw Andrew facing back and forth at the entrance. I got out of the car after parking it in the garage. "Beta Andrew, what's the matter?" I asked. I could see that he was worried and scared. "Adam, Jaque isn't awake yet. Demeter has done everything she could, but she is still unconscious!" Andrew reported. "Where is her room?" I immediately strode to the second floor of the mansion. "Tell me what happened here while I was gone!" "Orora brought Jaque to one of the guestrooms on the third floor. Demeter has been tending her nonstop, but she couldn't wake up!" "She couldn't wake up, or she was too weak to wake up?!" I asked, clarifying things from his words. "Demeter said she couldn't. She was just exhausted, but what baffled her was ~" "Tell me, Andrew. You know I don't want to be kept in the dark!" I told him as I stopped in front of Jaque's room. I was a little bit upset. "When Orora teleported here, s
Adam POV . . "D*mn, what are we going to do now?" Alpha Dylan asked after explaining everything to him. "Do we need to find him?" He sat on a single chair while glancing at everyone. Princess Amira, Andrew, and the Luna of Amos were also waiting for someone to answer that essential question. "Beta Jackson and Kelly have to do their job for a while. Now that the council is gone, all of the work falls under Beta Jackson's shoulders!" I responded. "He needs somebody who can help him do at least half of the job. What about you, Alpha Adam? I think you are the most qualified one to take Alpha Amos' job!" Alpha Dylan's suggestions made me stop and think for a moment. I didn't see that suggestion coming. "I can't just take the leader of the council's job without the kingdom's beta's approval. I wanted to help him, but this kingdom consists of more than twenty packs in this country. King Logan is also the king of the wolves in England. Right now, we are at war, and ~" "And you ar
Adam POV . . After a week, today was my first time taking my seat on the council. I didn't use the former office of the dead council leader. I told the wolves there that I would be renovating the stockroom to be my temporary office. With the help of my warriors, we were able to fix and clean the office. Now, it looked like the one I had at the packhouse. I appointed my delta to help me with the paperwork here since Andrew would be busy with the Blood Moon Pack. "Marco, give me updates on all of the kingdom's packs both in the US and England." That was my first command. Delta Marco's desk was next to my desk. He also had his own laptop and a printer beside his desk. "Yes, Alpha!" He searched for the kingdom's pack on Microsoft Excel. "Alpha, they are all updated except for the three packs that are led by the former council leaders. What are we going to do with them?" He furrowed his brows at me, the same feelings I had, these three packs should have alphas to assist them.
Andrew POV . . 'Can't that wait, Beta? I am in the middle of something now!' I heard the voice of Adam at the back of my head, a tad bit aggressive and threatening. I got confused for a while. When did my best friend set aside his work for whatever something he was doing at the moment? He would never neglect any task, especially when it came to something important... and I just said that I had to report something. 'Adam, this is very important. It is about the three alpha-less packs!' I insisted. I stressed the word alpha-less to juggle his mind just in case he forgot about it. 'D*mn it, Andrew. Give me an hour or two break. Just this one!' I heard a slamming on something. Was he upset? Did he just slam his desk because of me? 'Adam, the packs need the council leader's attention. They ~' I halted in my words. My wolf hearing was loud, and it just caught something inside. I sniffed, using my wolf senses. I could smell something familiar. It was a sweet scent, and it also h
Orora POV . . 'Alaric, Amira! Come to the land of the reptilia. Collen has shifted to his dragon form to save Victoria!' I didn't think twice about telling them about Victoria anymore. They had to come here quickly. Collen was just blowing fire to the vast forest. The reptilians ran and tried to escape the heat and flames, but a few of them had been burned alive. 'What the heck is Victoria doing there? We don't have any problems with the reptilians. Do not touch them, and they won't touch us!' Alaric explained. Everyone knew that the reptilians were dangerous creatures in nature brought to Earth by their reptilian god, Talon. However, they were isolated from other creatures. They had their own lands and own life. They didn't mingle with the other creatures even if they were just separated by forest borders. 'You have to tame Collen. We're on our way!' Amira butted in. 'Goodness, Orora. Talk to Collen now. That wildfire can reach the human lands and the other werewolf packs
Orora POV . . Sometimes, Alaric was really annoying. But I could understand him. All he wanted was for his siblings to be happy and safe. Now, he was using his authority again. However, how could I tell my mate about this? My siblings and I had just talked about my decision to live in Ruben's kingdom, and he exclaimed and refused. He demanded the dragon king's presence in his castle in Yorkshire along with the clans of vampires. "A penny for your thoughts?!" That was Shiva, almost giving me a heart attack. I pressed my chest while giving her a glare. "Wow! The most powerful witch is startled?! Unbelievable!" Shiva shook her head while smiling. "Don't ever do that to me again, Shiva. It isn't funny!" I told her while staring at her belly bump. "How's my niece doing?" I asked as I touched her belly. The baby kicked right away. "I think she already answered my question!" I smiled at her. "Hmm! She is as strong as her aunts. What can I say? By the way, Logan told me about yo
Amira POV . . "There are lots of problems to solve not just here in the Atlantis, but also in the woods. First, we have to focus on the problems here!" "We will do as you command, Princess Amira. Commander-general Amet, what do you think?" One of the leaders of the Seven Seas asked my well-trusted warrior, who I could tell was pissing my mate off in silence. "Hrmm! Before I draw out my opinion about this, I would like to know the future prince's opinion first!" He was deliberately testing Adam's wit. I was aware that Amet had never had a good relationship with Delmar in the past. However, Adam had no idea about that. He couldn't remember Amet as one of his best warriors before. "I agree with your Princess, Commander-general Amet!" Adam made his voice louder. "The Atlanteans are for the water. Therefore, before you deal with the problems on the land, you better fix the problems in your own surroundings first!" He was right. "Since, Amira!" He intertwined his hand with my
Collen POV . . "Hrm! Collen, Victoria is fine now. She said she is still feeling dizzy, but she can already walk normally!" Orora uttered while smiling teasingly at me. 'I'm the one who can't walk normally!' I told myself while my orbs were at her. "I can see that!" My mind was gentle to her, but my mouth was the one that was not cooperating. I saw her twitch her lips upon hearing my aggressive tone. "Victoria, you scared us in the camp. I am glad that you are okay now!" Beta Jackson tapped my arm before ambling towards the grown-up Victoria. "You've changed physically!" He also left a handsome smile, making my heart race in anger. "Thanks, Beta Jackson. I am not used to my new look yet. But I promise to work hard on this!" Goddess, her voice had changed, too. She was indeed a lady now. "Collen, aren't you going to greet Victoria?" Orora called, signaling me to come forward. "Hello, Victoria. I am glad that you are okay now!" I simply couldn't produce any long sent
Collen POV . . "Are you sure about that? Beta Jackson, you are making a huge accusation if that is not true!" I exclaimed. My heart raced faster than usual. I was still gasping for breath when Orora came back, shaking her head. "It is the truth, Collen. I saw it with my eyes. She is now as tall as ~" "Don't say it!" I stopped him right away. "I don't want to hear it!" I whispered. I wanted to calm down, but my mind was foggy at the moment. "Orora, what have you found out?" "I can't find any answers to this phenomenon, Collen. I'm sorry. For now, we have to speak with her. Hopefully, she will allow us!" She reached for my hand and smiled. "I'm sure your friend will be fine, Collen!" I could see the genuine words in her tone. "I hope so. I don't want to see her growing up. I can't handle it just yet!" I told her while looking at the room where Victoria was. "What did you say? She was growing up?!" Orora asked, confirming. "Victoria was miraculously growing up?!" She ex
Collen POV . . What was this I felt at the moment? I was uneasy and somewhat unsettled. I was thinking of someone, and I hadn't seen her for a long time. I glanced around the wide garden in the palace and wandered for a while. My golden orbs flickered upon seeing a bee buzzing on top of this lavender flower. "Lavender!" I burst out in a whisper. I could recall someone who loved lavender so much. "Victoria!" The six-year-old high witch. No! A thousand-year-old high witch but was stuck in the body of her six-year-old self. "Hey, Collen!" Orora came in. "Have you seen Shiva? Or have you seen Amira come by?" She asked. Her face looked plastered. Her hands were sweating while they were clenched. Her eyes were glancing around. "I haven't. Why?" I asked as I observed her. She was anxious, but why? "Do you want to talk to them?" "Yes, I want to say something to you all. I already called Alaric. He is on his way!" If my thoughts were occupied by Victoria, Orora was also som
Adam POV . . I was woken up by the loud ringing of the alarm outside or whatever that squeaking sound that was irritating my ears. My eyes squinted as I spread my arm to my side and felt a soft familiar skin. She was still in a deep sleep and goddess; she looked gorgeous and at peace. I just couldn't wake this goddess-like beauty beside me. I gently touched her soft pinkish cheek while staring deeply at her long and kneeling eyelashes. "What kind of kindness or courageous act have I done to have you as my reward?" I whispered. However, the loud ringing or sound outside was making my ears twitch. I creased my brows at the door and then shifted them to the sleeping beauty, who seemed to not be bothered by that annoying squeaking sound. I kissed her cheek, and she moaned. "Are you awake?" She whispered, smiling at me. I kissed her lips this time, and she wrapped her arms around my neck. "I have been watching you, my love!" I whispered. "That sound woke me up!" I added, a li
Amira POV . . "That was great!" He placed a soft kiss on my lips before he rolled over, lying next to me. He lay sideward and brushed the strands of my hair, making me moan. "My love, when are we going to make our relationship final? I can't wait to announce to everyone that you are my Luna and you only belong to me. You already have my mark!" Adam whined like a kid. Seriously, when did he learn to be cute? I also lay sideward, facing him. "When everything is settled. When there's no more Alectrona on our way. When the peace in every kingdom is reached!" I gently told my mate, touching the little hair growing on his jaw. "Adam, your stubble beard looks good on you!" I told him while my fingers played on its jawline. "Do you like it?" He asked, placing a soft kiss on my forehead. "If you want, I can grow my hair!" "No! I want it this way. Don't grow it into a beard. You look much more handsome this way. Also, I like its roughness!" I smiled at him as I moved closer. The du
Amira POV . . "So you've got this information from the nymphs in the forest?" Orora clarified. "I can't believe it. That Jasmine is really vicious!" She was seething in anger. We were at the Blood Moon Pack packhouse, having a meeting with Adam, Beta Andrew, Demeter, Collen, and Orora. We also summoned Shiva to come and join, but due to her pregnancy, she couldn't attend. King Logan had been keeping her company. My sister was in her 2nd trimester now, and my niece couldn't behave herself inside her mom's womb. Shiva complained a lot about morning sickness and body pain. Well, the last time I saw her, she looked like she had swallowed a whole watermelon. What about now? I bet the princess of Shadow Rock Kingdom was as strong and as fierce as her aunts. In addition to that, as pretty as we were. Collen got up from his seat and strode to the floor-to-ceiling glass window. He watched the scenery outside while muttering something. "What are you mumbling, Collen?" Alpha Adam aske
