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
Logan POV . . Although the whip made a grave impact on my back, cutting my skin off, I didn't make a single sound as it landed on my bare skin. Because my healing abilities were faster than usual, wolfbane was thrown on my wound, and I grunted at that, my eyes closed. The council declared a two-whole-day punishment for me for challenging the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack and for creating chaos in the human territory. Somehow, my roar at Jaque in front of the restaurant created some news flashes on every broadcasting channel on every news. Since yesterday, I would be brought out to the training ground where I would be whipped a hundred lashes, and after every whipping, wolfsbane would be rubbed into my wounds. I grunted in excruciating pain at the last whip that hit my back, and when the punisher dropped the whip, signaling the end of the punishment, I fell loudly to the ground with my hands tightly tied with thick ropes. My beta immediately came to my rescue along with Serena
Logan POV . . We had been wasting time for a couple of hours. Every time I would open the topic about the deranged werebears, he would start a new story about his kingdom. He would command his wives to entertain us. He would always find ways to channel the main reason why we came here into another conversation. Just like now, he began speaking about how the werebear kingdom had started. "My grandfather was ruthless!" He let out a crazy laugh, enough to get my ears twitch. "He invaded four small werebear tribes and began a small kingdom. He made those tribe chiefs his advisers!" "Impressive. Making your enemies your advisers!" Beta Jackson chuckled. "He was vicious!" Henry butted in with a sneer. "Indeed. The vicious werebear king of all. Those tribe chiefs couldn't do anything. They were all under his feet. Even their wives were offered to him, and their sons became the warriors of his kingdom!" "Hmm!" I just reacted. That reminded me of someone. My own grandfather. He cre
Logan POV . . We were on our way to the werebear kingdom. It was reported that King Bodvar's grandfather bought the whole island to build his kingdom, and now, as time passed by, it was progressing. Upon arriving at the airport, my Beta and five warriors took our luggage and strode straight to the exit. The Immigration checked our belongings. One of the officers sternly stared at us while opening the zipper of our luggage. This officer was not human. He was a~ "You must be King Logan from the Shadow Rock!" He whispered, making me gaze deeply at him. "I am Henry, assistant of King Bodvar. I am here to pick you!" He uttered as he raised his hand, and five brawny and bearded men appeared at the door. "I see!" We let them carry our stuff and followed them closely. The airport was crowded, not because of the passengers waiting for their flight, but because these humans couldn't stop staring at us. We were like celebrities being surrounded by our fans. It was a good thing I was we
King Bodvar POV . . At the Werebear Kingdom... "My king!" The door slid open in my office. I lifted my head and closed the book I was reading. I creased my brows at my assistant and slammed the book on my mahogany desk. "Forgive me, my king. This is a letter from the Rogue King, King Logan Knight!" "What's the matter?!" I took the envelope from my assistant and read his letter. It has his stamp marked in red at the bottom of the paper. The logo of his kingdom was on top, along with its name, Shadow Rock. "Hmm! Prepare a feast. We will have important visitors tomorrow night. The mighty Rogue King and his Beta are coming to our kingdom!" I placed King Logan's letter in the drawer and got up. I fixed the collar of my suit before patting Henry's shoulder. He had been my assistant for years and the only one I could trust. "My king, what is the purpose of his visit?" He asked, curious. I walked past him and stood straight near the glass wall, watching the sunshine. My building
Logan POV . . "I want to buy their new branded phones. I have read on their news that they have new models of phones every day. And their sauna there is wonderful. Logan, can we go tomorrow? I will ask Katrina to pack our stuff in a jiffy. She will also go with us, right? Witch Anya, too!" She was thrilled that she couldn't stop talking. She paced back and forth with excitement. "Can Jackson and Kelly go with us? Oh no! They can't, right? Jackson has some work to do here while we are gone. But Kelly and Jack can go, right? A hundred percent they can go with us!" I had to stop her from imagining wild. "Sweetheart, you have to stop there for a while and think about this through!" "But why? The kingdom has three private planes. There is no problem, just in case. We can bring five to ten omegas and warriors with us. There won't be any danger, Logan!" What was going on with my mate? She suddenly changed, I thought. "I know. You are right. Let's go home first and talk about th
Logan POV . . I was irked in pain while the royal doctor healed my wounds. I had a wolf, but Shiva had done so much that even my healing ability couldn't heal them. "Sh!t! That's hurt!" "Forgive me, King Logan, but your wounds are deep!" The royal doctor uttered. "The queen is scary!" He added. Our imperial physician had been with us since my grandfather's reign, and he was like a grandfather to me. He was one of the wolves who could comment like this about Jaque. "Doctor, you have no idea!" I told him. When she was biting me earlier, I felt she also bit my clavicle. "Could you also check my bones?" The doctor coughed hard at my question. "Why?" I sternly asked him. "Yes, you are right on that one. Your clavicle is broken. We have to put on a bandage and you must wear this for a while!" He showed me the sling, and my eyes widened. "You have to wear this until it is completely healed. And no sparring or sports for you!" "F*ck! I have never worn any of that in my entire
Jaque POV . . I was enraged when that vamp put her hands on my mate's shoulders and moved her annoying face near his cheek. I didn't care if she was saying something, but as a responsible mate, he should have pushed her. But heck no! He also moved his head to the side, meeting her lips. From my angle, they were almost kissing each other. I couldn't control Shiva's emotions at that time she shifted right straight into his room, making Katrina clamp her mouth in shock. She even sprinted to the corner when she saw how big Shiva was. They had never seen me shift before. They just saw my claws, my fangs, and the glow in my eyes. Some of them had never seen my wolf yet. This would be the first time. I printed quietly out of the room, remembering my goal. I didn't want to create a show in front of these vamps. It's not yet the right time to appear in my wolf form in front of them, especially to that vamp b!tch. But I could take exception to my mate. I hid in the corner while waiti
Logan POV . . "Amber is right, King Logan!" Cassius seconded. "There is someone in the room who is more qualified to be Prince Alaric's temporary successor!" This old vamp didn't want to give up. This was what Alaric was telling me before. There were hard-headed elders in the council who were also greedy for power, and the first one on the list was Cassius. "Alright, like I said. Present me that qualified member of yours!" I gently slammed the table, a tad bit impatient. I glanced at the doctor who had been silent since the meeting commenced. I had no idea what was running in his mind, but his calmness was somewhat intriguing. "King Logan, that vampire is no other than me!" Suddenly, Amber, the Council leader's daughter, answered. Some of the vampires at the table nodded, agreeing with Cassius and his daughter. However, Doctor Williams was just staring at everyone. His head didn't move, but his orbs were glancing from left to right. He was stealthily observing his fellow va
Jaque POV . . "Logan, you're back!" I hastily ran toward him and hugged him tightly, ignoring that I was wet all over. Logan hugged me back while his stare was with Doctor Williams. The doctor had just looked down at the floor. His lips formed a thin smile. "I had just arrived from the mansion of the leader of the Vampire Council. Since not all vampire leaders can come tonight, I just gave Cassius a ride to the palace!" He cupped my face and kissed my lips, much to my surprise. The kiss was possessively deep and somewhat threatening. When he released my lips, he glanced back at the doctor, who was still bowing his head. "What about you, my queen? What have you been doing since you woke up?" There was some hidden meaning in his questions, and the tone of his voice was sarcastic. "Oh! I was swimming with Katrina when Doctor Williams arrived for the meeting!" I glanced at Katrina, who was carrying a towel. She hastily strode toward me and hung the towel on my shoulders. "I s
Jaque POV . . I slept for dinner. I guessed Logan made me exhausted. The moment I woke up, his scent lingered on the pillow beside my head. However, his presence in the room was gone. Where could he be? I glanced at the digital clock flickering on the wall. It was late nine at night. I got up right away and went to the bathroom first. My legs were still shaking when I tried to walk, and aside from that, my private part was sore. 'Logan, what did you do to me?' I gritted my teeth, now regretting that I allowed him to make love to me the whole day. He was indeed the king. His actions proved that. His strength was the evidence. I washed my face while staring at myself in the mirror. 'Goodness!' I cried out in my thoughts. Red spots everywhere on my neck and on my chest. 'Seriously, how can I even get out of the room with this look?' It was so unfair that wolves could heal fast when it came to wounds and bruises, but why could that not happen to love bites? I tried to pu
