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
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
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 . . 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
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 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 . . 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.
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!"
Adam POV . . "This is just a misunderstanding, Queen Anicia. I was brought here by the water. I was in the Atlantis, talking to my mate Princess Amira. I was supposed to go back to my pack but the water brought me here by accident!" "It wasn't an accident, Alpha Adam. It was fate that brought you here!" Seriously, this queen was getting on my nerves. Kylo snarled at her. 'Is this how she repays our kindness? Has she forgotten that we saved her kingdom from her abusive mate before?' Kylo snapped it loud. 'Need I to remind her that, perhaps!' I told my wolf while my jaw ticked. We had been having an argument for my stay here in their kingdom. These werebears forbade me to even walk to the door. They literally made me their prisoner here. All because of this mentally ill werebear woman standing next to me. "Why not tell that to my mate? We'll see what's going to happen!" I questioned. My orbs were seething in rage. I was losing patience, and at the same time, my wolf wa
Orora POV . . In the Kingdom of Diaphora King Arabic Reubus had managed to bring everything back to normal, almost half of it. The kingdom was still in the process of fixing the ruins the previous war had made, but at least the dragons were working together. They were doing their best to have the glory of their lost kingdom with them once again. I saw my mate commanding one of the dragons about the vast empty lands. Based on their body movements, his king was telling him about his plan for that brownish ground. I felt so curious that I strode toward them. The white thin dress I was wearing had reached my ankles, and every blow of the wind made its hem wave, dancing freely with the breeze. I heard my mate sniff and turned around to greet me with his captivating smile. "My queen, what brought you here?" He asked. The dragon next to him smiled at me before he lowered his head as his greeting. "I felt bored staying in the room. I want to see what you guys are doing. Also,
Adam POV . . "Who is he in your life, Amira? Why do you have to distance yourself from me? Amira, give me at least a clear explanation, so I also know what to do!" I was on the edge of a cliff with my situation right now. "I can't tell you yet, Adam. Give me a few months. A couple of months to be exact. Then I will tell you my decision after that!" "A couple of weeks of not seeing you is a h*ll in my life, Amira. What about a couple of months? Amira, seriously, tell me the truth. Who is that Amet to you?" "I already told you, Adam. I can't tell you yet. In the meantime, you have to trust me. If you can't wait!" She paused for a while. "Then we can reject each other and just forget everything!" "No one is talking about rejecting here, Princess Amira!" I roared as I gripped her waist and held her tightly. "Don't even think about it!" I sternly told her. Every word I uttered was a bullet piercing her heart. "I will wait. If that's what you want. A couple of months then. But if I
Adam POV . . "Adam? Is that you?" My dear mate had the audacity to ask. Could she not recognize me? "How did you get here?" Wrong question! That even made me more furious. "What am I doing here?!" I asked, repeating her words with sarcasm. I stepped heavily toward the two. My fists clenched when the merman stepped forward and spread his arm, blocking my sight to Amira. "Step aside, stinky fish!" My blood was boiling in fury that I pushed the merman aside, but he didn't even move. "Adam, stop that!" Amira roared, upset. The water around her suddenly produced bubbles. "My princess, just one word!" This annoying merman glanced over his shoulder. I had to admit he had the body physique of a great warrior. He had muscles everywhere, and the height like mine, King Logan, Prince Alaric, and Collen. He was holding a triton in his right arm and a pearl necklace hanging around his neck. "Who is he, Amira?!" I asked, but it was this merman's slap that answered my question. I
Adam POV . . 'Ayesha, where is she? Listen! That was all a misunderstanding, okay? Let me speak to her!' I was almost begging through mind-link. I was pacing back and forth in my office and had no clue how to reach her. 'Can you just tell me where she is?' 'She's in her castle in Atlantis. Alpha Adam, if I were you, I would give her space to think and reflect on her feelings about you!' 'What do you mean by reflect?' I roared. I was taken aback by her words. 'There's nothing to reflect on her feelings for me, okay? I'm serious about her. She is my mate and my Luna. Just show me the way to get to Atlantis. Give me now!' I was getting enraged. This servant of Amira was stern. 'Nope, can't do it, Alpha Adam!' I imagined her crossing her arms over her chest. 'I have to go. I have some matters to do for my mistress!' 'Like what?' Sometimes Ayesha just burst our words that could trigger me and my wolf. And this one was already giving me goosebumps, and she didn't even tell m
Adam POV . . The death of my parents took a toll on my life. We had a werewolf funeral, and it ended for 40 days. First, my parents were mourned by the Blood Moon Pack members in the first week. The alphas of different packs came after, and they stayed in the pack for a week, then the people in the palace led by our king and queen came on the third week and stayed for two weeks in the pack. In the last week, all the werewolf packs paid tribute to the former Alpha and Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. Queen Anicia from the werebear clan also gave her final respect on the fourth week. At sunset, it was a tradition to burn the body of the werewolf and watch the smoke fly to the sky. Then we all shifted into our wolf forms and lifted our heads, howling as we grieved for the loss of our loved ones. That day was the most painful day of the Blood Moon Pack, for it was not just my parents who were burned under the shade of the moonlight. There were almost two hundred of them. The king and
Alectrona POV . . "Alectrona, what brought you here?" Magenta, Diana's long-time servant, met me at the door instead of her. Dameron and I strode towards Diana's chamber rather, ignoring her presence. My cloak danced swiftly in the air as I marched down. The annoying servant hastily ran past us and spread her arms, blocking our way. "You can't go in!" She sternly stopped us. "The moon goddess is not interested in seeing you today, Alectrona!" I just chuckled at her and passed my attention to Dameron, who had been gritting his teeth on her. These two had an unresolved grudge in the past. "Dameron, you know what to do!" I told my servant, and he sneered at once. His snarl signaled the beginning of their unfinished business. Dameron was a shape-shifter while Magenta was a she-wolf. I wanted to watch this once-in-a-lifetime show, but I had bigger fish to catch. As I strode towards Diana's chamber, a dozen warriors immediately lined up in rows to stop me. I just swayed my
Alectrona POV . . I watched my best weapons banish in front of me. The snake that I secretly took care of since it was small, fed it with fresh blood from both humans and animals, and trained it to be loyal and obedient was now just vapor in the wind. The werebear that I wielded and experimented with had turned into its normal size, a useless naked human slave wriggling like a worm. His body was covered with bruises, claw marks, and canine bites. "Useless fools!" I couldn't help but freak out, shaking the whole enormous cave with my voice. "I only have one weapon left!" I thought about it. However, I was not even sure if this one could be trusted. She had a dark heart, but she was new. "My goddess, I have news!" My one and only warrior, who managed to escape in that dragon's kingdom, came in. He bowed to me. He had lost his right arm when he dared to fight Delmar. That traitor! He was just like Thorin. I fed them, drank my wine, sat on my throne, and then what did the
Amira POV . . "What the heck had just happened?" Alaric was pissed. The giant hawk landed on the rock, and Alaric jumped down, furious. There were still fireballs on both of his palms, and they hastily disappeared when he clenched his fists. "Is that some kind of a trick again just like before?" He pointed at the imaginary spot where the two giant beasts disappeared. "Obviously, it is!" King Logan answered. He was now in his human form and wearing his original king warrior uniform. "Alectrona did not want to lose. She always has replacement plans!" King Logan glanced around, devastated. "Princess Amira, where is Alpha Adam?" He suddenly asked. "As much as I want to join in your conversation, King Logan, brother Alaric. I have to attend to my mate first!" I told them. I almost forgot about Adam's parents. I turned around, my eyes roaming the disastered area. I could not find Adam anywhere. The battle had temporarily stopped an hour ago, and some of the casualties were now te
