Adam POV . . All three of us sprinted to the main gate of the pack. My beta and the former Beta were already there, along with five warriors surrounding the open black plastic bag. My mom felt her stomach going to rumble she immediately rushed to the back of the tree trunk and threw up. Anton's head was still fresh with his own blood. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was hanging ajar. My father and I squatted down as we fixed our furious stares on our former warrior. "Give me a pair of gloves!" I ordered, and one of the warriors gave a pair of gloves to Andrew before my beta reached them for me. After putting them on, I checked the edge where the neck and head were originally connected. There were scratches from animals or maybe just one animal with sharp claws. I checked the side as I held Anton's jaw, and my father ticked his tongue upon seeing something. "It's obvious that he fought back!" He uttered, temporarily forgetting that we also almost murdered each other
Delmar POV . . Whew! That was close. D*mn it, this kind of sacrifice was too much to handle. I had to shift to my real form before this pack of dogs found me. I had to hide in this cave for a while and needed to crawl in the mud to coat my scent. I glanced at this pathetic little wolf from its reflection in the water inside the cave. There was a hot stream flowing freely, coming from the mountain. Alectrona had made a lot of effort to fulfill her plan. I was not a wolf and would never be, but with the ingredients provided by the dead wolf Anton, I could shift into their kind in a couple of hours. A cup of his blood running through my veins, a pair of his wolf eyeballs to heighten my sight, and a lick from his saliva to get a portion of his scent. Just that, this wolf was not as big and as strong as them. "Have you found him?" I heard a man's voice just in front of the cave, then some footsteps and rustling of leaves. They were near. It was a good thing that I was finished c
Jaque POV . . I was busy enjoying my whirlpool bath in my own party spa here on our private cruise ship when out of the blue, my beautiful witch of a sister popped out like a jack-in-a-box toy. The only difference was that she suddenly appeared here in my tub, where I was sitting and leaning my back against this massive massage jacuzzi bathtub. "What the heck? Orora, don't ever do that again!" I exclaimed, flabbergasted. "Oh! I certainly will not!" She emphasized her two last words with wide eyes and exaggerated shaking of her head. "I chanted a clear spell of a doorway. Not here, in your tub, while you are having a wonderful, No! Not wonderful. That is an understatement. Fabulous! Yeah! Fabulous whirlpool bath!" She exclaimed back as she stepped out of my tub. She just swayed her hand, and her wet black dress dried up. "Finish that up. We have important matters to do, Queen!" "What?! I have just sunken in. Give me a break, lovely witch!" I shvt my eyes, ignoring Orora's
Jaque POV . . "We should regroup. One from the vampire clans, a healer from any creature, and a powerful witch. You are also included, Shiva. Since you are the most powerful creature here on Earth. Alectrona is anxious to clash with you again!" Orora stressed out as she paced back and forth in front of me. "I agree. You take the witch side, Orora. Alaric can take the vampire side!" I suggested, but Orora just constantly shook her head. She then strode to the island and took a bite of a grape. When she finished with one, she took another round. She also poked a chunk of pineapple with a fruit fork and gobbled it in her mouth. I even heard her moan, satisfied with the sweetness of the fruit. "Ahm. Have you been eating well?" I couldn't help but ask. "No! I starved myself for a week just to find the answer to this mystery!" She nonchalantly responded. "I should empty my mind and my stomach to fill in new information about this. Delmar's case isn't an easy task to solve!" I agr
Jaque POV . . "My queen, calm down. I know you want to kill this bastard!" Demeter uttered with gritted teeth. "Me, too. I just want to end this @ss!" She also couldn't control herself she kicked his chest hard, throwing him at the wall. A groan escaped from his lips as he threw Demeter a glare and an annoying sneer. "Kill me if you want. End my life, but you will never find that Alpha dog to me. You are just wasting my time!" He let out an ev*l laugh, making us all hiss in anger. Orora was so furious that she swayed her hand and that @ssh*le werecat's mouth disappeared at once. "Wow! Orora, what did you just do?" I asked with wide eyes and open mouth, stunned at her sudden actions. "He is loud. It annoys me!" Orora simply uttered. "Nomiko is on her way with Amira. We better prepare!" She slapped the annoying werecat who struggled a lot to speak. His hands were tied on top of his head to a giant silver chain that was strongly attached to the ceiling. "You better behave, j@c
Delmar POV . . Huh! These id!ots thought I hadn't prepared for this. To think they said they had been tracking me. It was indeed a lucky thing that Alectrona gave me the leverage to change into a wolf, at least for a couple of hours before my real appearance popped up. The moment they saw me shift into a tiny wolf, they were all flabbergasted. I howled, confirming to them that I was hurt. Although the only woman I could convince now was Princess Amira, since she was the only one who had not seen me speaking with Alectrona earlier. "Impossible!" This they called Shiva reacted. She circled me like I was an experiment, making me growl at her. She stepped back a bit when she heard my wolf voice. "You're Delmar's wolf? I can't believe you are this tiny. You are just like a husky!" Excuse me?! Comparing me to a dog?! I was a f*cking werecat, b!tch! "You are insulting him, Shiva. Stop circling him around like he is a laboratory specimen!" Amira, my fake mate, scolded her, earning
Adam POV . . Where was I? My head hurt. I felt my temples splitting in half. I groaned as I massaged them and gradually opened my eyes to check the room. It was dark. No windows, just one closed door. One bed where I was lying down and a side table with a glass of water on it. What place was this? I shut my eyes one more time, trying to recall how I got here. Then I remembered that Alectrona had taken me and forcibly put me to sleep. When was that again? I was not sure at all. I glanced at my clothes. They were now different. Somebody had changed my shirt and pants. 'Kylo, are you alright?' I asked my wolf who was sleeping in the corner. 'Kylo, wake up, body. We need to escape this place!' Yet, my wolf didn't answer. I tried to get up, using my elbow as my support while my fingers massaged my temples. Glancing at the water, I was not sure if they were safe or not. But I was thirsty. I was tempted to drink it. My mind said a big fat NO! "Alectrona!" I roared, calling my
Adam POV . . I groaned at the excruciating pain as the last whip hit my back, creating another deep cut on my skin. I felt so weak that my legs gave up. My knees kissed the cold floor as the chains that were wrapped around my wrist clanged. "I am hoping you learned your lessons, human!" One of the warriors sneered. "If I were you, don't be cocky talking to Tashifa. Especially to her brother, Dameron!" He snorted. "You have no idea what those two can do!" "Well, he might be thinking, just because he's been here before we still favor him!" The other guy added. I was way too weak to lift my head and respond to them. But everything they were saying now was stuck in my head. Had I been here before? Was I like Jaque and Logan? Was I reincarnated?! "Let's go. Let's leave him here. Tashifa will come and see him later!" They were about to leave the dungeon when I finally got the strength to speak. "Where is the dark goddess?" It took them a couple of seconds to answer. "She
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
