Amira POV . . "Why doesn't he want to be with you? I mean, you guys are mates. It is only normal that you and Delmar should stay under one roof. Why doesn't he want that?" My witch sister had been bugging me about it since she came to my sanctuary unannounced. "She must be hiding something!" My princess friend, seconded. I crossed my legs, listening to their bubbles as I raised my well-trimmed brows at them. It was Saturday, and according to them, they were on holiday, which meant they had no job to do. But who were they kidding? Orora was simply making potions and chanting spells in her coven while she trained her fellow witches along with their high witch, Victoria. Nomiko was simply Alaric's wife and was now three months pregnant with their first child. I sighed at the thought that these sisters of mine came here for gossip. "Come on, you girls. That's our friend Delmar!" I should not forget Demeter, the ever-no-filter slash-healer in the group. "But Orora is right. Sin
Amira POV . . What was that strong, ammonia-like odor? I sniffed, moving my face closer to the door of his room to sniff more of that unpleasant scent. However, when I heard footsteps coming, I immediately raised my hand and snapped my fingers. I also covered my scent so he wouldn't notice my presence. The door swung open, and he was just wearing a pair of rugged jeans, no tops. His perfect abs and broad chest were in display. I squinted my eyes on the right side of his chest and saw a black tattoo in the shape of a skull. 'What is that?' I asked inwardly, talking about the meaning or significance of it. When he glanced around, I panicked. Did he sense me? I was hoping not. He snapped his eyes from left to right and then visa versa. His brows furrowed as his nose crunched. Did he just smell my scent? "Hmm! Impossible!" He also uttered as he closed the door and heard a tick inside, locking it. What was he hiding? I could teleport inside, but I was not sure of what's g
Amira POV . . I tried to leave using my power. To just disappear in their pack, but I had no idea what was wrong with my power now. It didn't want me to banish or go back to my sanctuary. 'Oh! Come on! You don't really want me to make a stupid mistake here. Let me disappear in this place, already!' I was now talking to myself, imagining that my power had a life and could understand me. I ran as fast as I could from the oak tree until I found the cave. Perhaps it wasn't bad to stay here for a while until Adam and that she-wolf left the woods. I went inside. The cave was cold, but it didn't bother me. There was water flowing calmly next to the rocks. As I went further, I saw light like an entrance. There was something more in this cage than what Shiva had told us before. I continued to discover until I saw falls. My eyes went wide as my mouth hung open. This was so far the best in this kingdom. Did they know they had a treasure here? This place was precious by itself, a hidden
Adam POV . . It hurt, but this was the only way. To know Delmar's plan, I had to act like she had nothing to do with me anymore. I strode back to the packhouse, meeting Andrew on the way. He was sweating all over, topless, and just wearing rugged jeans. His hair was also a mess. Although it fitted him, I was still curious why suddenly my Beta was showing skin these past few months. He was never concerned with his appearance before. "Alpha!" He smiled. He formed a satisfying grin on his face. He strode side by side with me while gasping. "Where have you been?" He asked, with that grin still glued on his face. "To the woods!" I simply answered. "What about you? You look like you ran a mile!" I asked, and he just chuckled at me. "What's the matter?" I asked again, annoyed this time. "Well, I had sparring with our healer!" He stopped for a moment and glanced around. "I won this time!" He looked like he had just been given an Alpha position in the pack. "I have got the reward
Adam POV . . Early in the morning, I woke up to start my day. The job of being an alpha in the Blood Moon Pack was no longer new to me, but being the council leader was different. Today, I had a meeting with Esteban and Kelly. Camira, Alpha Dylan, and Alpha Cillian were also included. After having a small breakfast, I strode to my Porsche, where Delta Marco was already waiting in the driver's seat. "Good day, Alpha!" He greeted me with an infectious smile. He got out of the car and opened the backseat door. "Good day, Marco. How nice the weather is today!" I told him as I sat in the backseat. Marco gently closed the door and went back to his seat. "You have a meeting with all of the council today, Alpha!" He confirmed. I just nodded at him while he was staring at me in the rearview mirror. "Is Delmar included?" He asked, furrowing his brows. "No! He is not included and will never be!" I told him. My face contoured disgust and disapproval. "Let's go. We have to be early to
Adam POV . . "Alpha Adam! Alpha Adam!" This @ss had been calling my name for like five minutes, but I kept ignoring him. He had been following me since the meeting had finished, but I kept slamming the door in his face. "Alpha Adam!" When he raised his voice, a smirk contoured on my face. That was what I was waiting for. For everyone to see his real character. "Oh! Delmar, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. You know!" I took the airpod out of my left ear and showed him, pretending that I didn't hear him calling me. "Been busy!" I sneered. We were now in front of my office. "Since when do wolves use airpods to communicate? Don't we guys do mind-link?" He asked, sneering back. I ambled forward and sternly stared at him. "So, you are a wolf. How come I can't connect you to my mind-link?" I had been trying to connect with him, but there was always a barrier that blocked me from contacting him. "Are you sure you are a wolf? I don't scent you as one of us!" Indeed, he had no wolf s
Kelly POV . . "What did you say, babe? Alpha Adam hit Delmar on the face?" My mate and husband, Jackson, asked me upon telling him what happened at the Council Office that morning. His eyes went wide, and his mouth hung open, doubting my story. "Yes! Babe, I know that Adam is close to you or has become close to you since he helped the kingdom a lot during the war. But this is too much!" I placed my hands on my hips, raising my voice a tad bit. My heart was gasping. I was still trembling in fury. "And you...punched him for Delmar?!" Jackson asked. There was a hint of something in his voice. I just nodded as I commanded our omega to get me a glass of water. The whole day, I couldn't focus on my job because of that. "You punched your childhood friend for that warrior in the realm?!" He questioned, repeating my claim. "I already said yes. I punched him, okay. He was pushed to the wall in front of his office!" I felt a little proud of what I had done, but also a bit guilty. F
Amira POV . . I had been staring at my twin in the mirror for like half an hour when Ayesha came to my room. "The girls are waiting!" She winked. This was my first time to go to the human territory. This was my first time trying to live their life. I twitched my lips as I glanced at myself one more time. "You look hot, by the way, Princess!" She smiled at me and examined my outfit from head to foot. I had no clothes that were human-wearable. I always wore my princess-mermaid-or-nymph outfit. However, yesterday, Demeter and Orora went to the shopping mall and bought a lot of sexy outfits. I was wearing one of them now. "Thanks, Ayesha. You look nice in your outfit, too!" Ayesha was simply wearing a one-strap black fitted hanging blouse and a white textured polyester mid-thigh skirt. She paired her sexy outfit with a wedged pair of dirty-white sandals and just blow-dried her hair into a wavy look. She looked sophisticated but simple. Her dangling bangles hanging on her earlobes
Orora POV . . The beam of light was too much that it could blind our sight. We had to cover our eyes with our hands while watching how the transfiguration of the king happened. He floated in the air while his head was lifted in the sky. The light cracked the strong ancient bricks and shook the towering castle. We heard Collen, who was still in his dragon form, growl. Then his voice at the back of our heads came next. 'Have you found the dragon king? Hurry up! Something is happening here!' 'Yes, we have found him. He is still unconscious, but he got his wings back!' King Logan responded. However, upon replying to Collen, King Arabic Reubus opened his eyes, which were still in full while. But his looks were like that of a god. The sackcloth was gone. He was now wearing a white pair of pants but still topless and barefooted. He gradually landed in front of us, staring at us with such curiosity. "King Arabic Reubus, welcome back!" King Logan greeted with a chest fist, which onl
Orora POV . . "Answer my question, Witch? Where is she now? What did you do to her?" Of course, he was referring to his late wife, the former queen of the dragons. His grip on my neck was getting tighter, and I was now being choked. I could feel the air passage in my lungs restrained, making me gag. "K-king Arabic Reubus, Queen Latifia is just there. She does not go anywhere!" For him to feel that his wife was living in his memory, I never let him feel that way. I never used the past term to make him know that his queen and mate had been dead for millenniums. The king of dragons glanced into the tomb. His eyes glistened when he saw his wife's tomb was indeed on the spot where it was earlier. It just moved to the dark corner for a few minutes, but also came back to where it was. "How? How could that be? I saw it. I saw it was gone!" He shook his head as he blinked his eyes. He was still gripping my neck while I was lifted in the air. Now, I had to hit his chest with my f
Orora POV . . I had to speak with him before it was too late. If he was King Arabic Reubus, then he needed my help. He needed my magic to get his kingdom back. I levitated until I reached the end of the castle, but he was not there. I focused as I closed my eyes and took only one object in my mind. Imagine I was the king and wanted to get my wings back. Where would I go? "The underground!" I whispered to myself. Yes, if the wings were his source of power, Alectrona would keep them away from him. She would make sure that the king would never find them. "Underground, where are you?" I was like a crazy woman conversing with myself. Then I heard a loud thud from my right. I glanced around and saw nothing except for a brick wall and a huge shelf with books. "Who would put a shelf here? This wasn't even a library?" I shook my head and ticked my tongue. I was about to turn around and leave when I heard another noise from the same spot. I levitated to my right and observed the wall.
King Logan POV . . If he was here, then I had to find him. I could guess he could still remember me, if ever. The kingdom was chaos. The shape-shifters shifted into different creatures. Some mimicked Collen as a dragon, but Witch Orora had seen that coming. She put a spell on Collen. They could not copy his image. If they tried hard, they would just end their life. I strode to the entrance of the castle, watching the four warriors on alert. "You!" One of the warriors stepped forward with his sword in his hand. "Glad you remember me!" I sneered as I ambled toward them. "We'll never forget you, Thorin. You are a traitor, and you killed one of us!" The other warrior responded. He also prepared to attack as he swung his sword at me. However, I had just gripped the blade, ignoring the blood spouting on my palm. "What are you doing?" He asked and was shocked when he saw me not affected by the wound. "You are not hurt!" He added. The rest of the warriors immediately surrounded m
Amira POV . . "We are here!" Orora uttered. We glanced down and saw nothing but dark clouds. "We can't see anything. Only these dark clouds!" I told my sister. "Orora, can you do something?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "I can't make these clouds clear, but Collen can!" She made her voice louder so we could hear her. I glanced at the king and noticed his quietness. He might be thinking about Orora's words earlier. "Collen, can you make our path clear?" Orora asked one more time, and Collen, as the golden dragon, let out a menacing growl before he blasted a huge fire, dispersing these dark clouds. When the sky was as clear as immaculate, we looked down and almost fell on Collen's scales when we saw the lost kingdom of Diaphora. I knew it was the lost kingdom of the dragons. The old twin castles were still there, standing magnificently and towering over the remaining towers. "So, it's true!" I uttered. Although my voice was covered by Collen's wings' flapping, I
Amira POV . . I couldn't wait to see Alpha Adam Hayes, and hopefully, we weren't late yet. I had this anxious feeling that something was not right. I was waiting for Orora and King Logan inside this stinky room. I rummaged the room with my eyes and grimaced my nose when the strong smell of a cat hit my nostrils. I couldn't help but rub my nose with my fingers. King Logan and Orora were giving the two betas and the alphas of every pack important instructions for the coming of Alectrona. The kingdom needed to be prepared in advance. They made the dome safer, added more protective layers and spells, and renovated it wider. There were also some stretcher beds for the elderly and the kids. Rooms for pregnant women and their babies were built along with their basic needs. Some healers like Demeter and the imperial physicians were also on alert, preparing herbs, medicines, and some potions to fight wolfsbane and silver, just in case. As for my kingdom under the seven seas, Ayesha
Amira POV . . (The same time of event with the sparring) "You are lucky we didn't kill you right away!" Orora pointed her wand at Delmar, who at the moment was now in the dungeon in the Shadow Rock Palace. The dungeon was located in the 3rd basement of the king and queen's luxurious home. The other day, we made a trap for Delmar. I called him to meet me in the woods. Delmar was very cautious since the girls found his real identity. However, due to my behavior with him, I still got his trust. He obeyed at once when I said that I wanted to meet him because it had been a while since the last time we saw each other. "What's the meaning of this?" Delmar's furious gaze was fixed on me, ignoring Orora's words and Shiva's presence. "Amira, why did you lock me up here? What have I done this time?" He glanced at my sisters, who were just sneering at him. Orora chained him in both hands. The metal chains were attached strongly to the wall. How did we take him here? Easy! I ma
Adam POV . . We both had wounds and bruises everywhere. Swollen eyes and bloody noses and mouths, but the more we prolonged this fight, the more we felt energized. I guessed no one wanted to yield. The cheering was getting louder as the training field was getting messier. "Come on! We want more!" The crowd roared. "Is that the best you both got? We've seen those moves before. We want a fresh fight!" The crowd was uncontrollable. As my sight caught Dameron's sneer while gazing at me, my wolf prepared for his next move. It looked like Kylo had already foretold Dameron's moves. "You heard them, Delmar. They are bored!" Dameron snickered. "It is time to finish this!" He stepped back and forth and then breathed deeply. "Huh! Better yield. You will never win!" 'He is exhausted. He can't take another round. He is just pretending to be strong, but his energy is draining!" Kylo's voice sprang up at the back of my head. Although he had been helping me since this fight had begun, t
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'
