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
Adam POV . . I missed her. Why was that? I kept telling myself that the bond was gone. That she had nothing to do with me anymore. That she was not important in my life. However! "Ahh!" I hit the punching bag to the extreme that it created a hole before the rope snapped, dropping it onto the floor. "F*ck you!" I roared in the air, cursing Jaque in my thoughts. "What have you done to me?" I was yelling at her, thinking she was with me now, and she could hear and feel my anger with her. My wanders were cut off by Andrew, my beta, when he swung the gym door open, holding his gym bag. He had a white towel hanging on his shoulder. "What's up?!" He asked as he glanced at the boxing dummy lying dead on the ground. "Have you heard any news from the kingdom?" I asked, panting in both anger and exhaustion. My sweat was like waterfalls on my face, flowing down my neck and bare chest. I was just wearing a pair of training pants and training shoes at the moment. I took off the band
Logan POV . . 'She's yours?!' I jumped on his side, targeting his neck. He whimpered in pain and shook me off as I landed on my four legs, steady and still. I saw blood coming out from my bite. 'You're gonna kill me anyway, King Logan. It is better for you to know the truth!' Adam uttered while wincing in pain. His legs staggered, and his eyes exhibited rage under those dizzy orbs. 'I made a tremendous mistake!' 'You better accept it, Alpha Adam, but don't count your luck. No matter what, there's no royal pardon for you. You're gonna die today!' I was seething in rage. However, he just laughed my rage off. 'You're totally mistaken, KING!' He stressed out my title, mocking me as his master. 'That's not what I meant!' I noticed that his bite was healing until the blood stopped to spurt. 'I. MADE. A. MISTAKE. REJECTING. HER. MY. MATE!' WHAT?! It looked like the world had stopped moving. I was just rooted here in my spot with my four legs and ears raised, furious, and was on
Jaque POV . . "It's your fault, King Logan. If only you had calmed yourself down before coming here and declaring war!" In the Council's law, Logan indeed just declared war by challenging the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. Aside from being internally shattered into pieces, I was kept blind to the reason why these two just fought. Why did my mate just rant at me? How could he say I disappointed him? On what ground? "Jaque!" It was Kelly, and she herself couldn't contain the situation here. "Let's go!" She guided me after giving Logan a serious stare. "My apologies, King Logan, but your mate isn't staying at your place for a while!" She boldly told him. "You keep away my mate from me, and I'm going to end your life, right here, right now!" Logan replied before the twenty Shadow Rock warriors snarled at us. "Logan!" I stopped him. Adam and Andrew were also waiting on the sideline. Alpha Drake and my father were also just watching the exchange of conversation between us. "D
Jaque POV . . I stayed in his room for the whole night, just staring blankly at the ceiling. Logan left the villa after we talked. He didn't say anything. He just listened. He just stayed in the library for a couple of hours, and then after that, he left with Jackson. I couldn't believe this was the kind of life I was having in this world. I thought when I found out Adam was my mate, the moon goddess had answered my prayers to be with my first crush, but I was wrong. Then she gave me another chance of happiness. She let me be mated with the Rogue King after Adam rejected me. Far from my expectations, she just let me taste a life of luxury for days and also took it from me in the most painful way. 'Moon goddess Diana, you are cruel!' I muttered nonchalantly. The dark room was joining me in my reflection. I was lying down alone here on this wide king's bed, hands spread on both sides, and my mind wandered far away from the werewolf lands. "Huh?!" I jolted when suddenly the lig
Jaque POV . . "That was a great one?!" Kelly was appalled. "How?!" She raised both of her hands while bouncing her shoulders, asking for an explanation. "Alpha Adam Hayes was bound not to live. He was supposed to die that day if you didn't catch him!" Witch Anya was creating more mess in my head. How could she say such stuff to a fourteen-year-old Adam, I should say? "He was just 14. He was the heir of the Blood Moon Pack. How could you say that? If that happened, he was too young to die!" I shot her a series of questions. "It is the life of everyone to live and die, Jaque. Whether we are too young to leave or too old to die. Just like me!" She shrugged off while opening the small box containing pepper powder, cinnamon, wild roses, and orchid petals that were crushed into pieces. "Ops! I almost forgot the finishing touches!" She smiled while shaking her head. "Forgive my forgetfulness, Shiva!" She was talking to my wolf, and I felt a growl bounce in my chest. "Wait! Yo
Logan POV . . "Noooo!" My legs weakened. My mind was shattered, and my heart was aching. "Jaque!" I muttered in the air. My knees fell on the burned ground, ignoring the pain the scrapes had produced. My eyes were seething, watching my burned villa turn into dust. Who dared to do that crime to a king? Exploding my house was not the only mistake they had made that deserved brutal punishment. It was not the only crime they had done that was punishable by slow torture. It was not the only grave offense that they made that even their fifth generation would be accountable for death. It was the fact that they had killed their queen, my mate, my reason to live sedately. They had murdered Jaque. They had burned her alive. "Jaque!" I let out a menacing growl. Thorin was crushing into pieces as he grieved the loss of our mate. Yesterday, we just talked. She poured out all of her emotions to me. I was ready to rectify everything. I already had a plan. I didn't want to let her go.
Jaque POV . . "How are you going back to the pack?" I asked nonchalantly my best friend, who had been with me since last night. This woods looked far from the Blood Moon Pack. It absolutely looked isolated. "The same thing we did last night. My Aunt Anya will bring me back to my room like nothing happens!" I sighed at her answer and kept prepping my chin with my elbow while watching the scenery from the window. Kelly was busy munching pancakes on the patio with her cup of hot chocolate milk. "Looks like I can't attend graduation, Kels!" I told her with a heavy heart. My mom always dreamed of me being in a graduation gown and graduation cap. "What shall I do now while I'm stuck here?!" I stomped my feet on the wooden floor, earning me a shrug from my best friend. "Aunt Anya said you need to train. Also, she said she would help you shift!" With that, I glanced at her. She nodded as her confirmation. "Your wolf needs to control her powers!" "Aside from being strong, what
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
