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
Amira POV . . "Impossible, Ayesha! Impossible!" I had been convincing my servant and myself of the truth that I found out the other day. Convincing that it was not real. It was just a figment of my imagination or a part of my power manifestation. However, the more I said to Ayesha that it wasn't real, the more I felt that I was lying to myself. "My mistress, you said it yourself. You've seen Delmar naked once before, and you've seen his pride fully with your own eyes!" Ayesha was too vulgar to say it, but that was what I liked in her. Subtlety wasn't her best suit. She had no filter at all. "Ahm. Yeah, I did. Was I drunk when I said that? That was sooo a long time ago, Ayesha. How could you remember until now?" I twitched my lips, abashed at her scandalous grin. "Yes, my princess. You were a teen then and had a huge crush on him. If I am not mistaken, that was before your eighteenth birthday. You wanted to sneak out and meet him in the woods before he would go to his missi
Amira POV . . "Princess Amira, greetings to you!" The six-year-old high witch smiled at me while she stepped down from Collen's back. This tiger groaned impatiently, protesting. "Collen, you've never seen your sister for quite a while. Why be mean?" She slapped the tiger's back, making him snarl at me. "Shift Collen, we all need to talk!" I commanded in my princess tone, and he immediately obeyed. Upon transforming into his human form, he raised his hands for a hug. "Amira, our lovely and amazing sister who is head-over-heels in love with her fake destined mate!" There was sarcasm in his voice, earning him a scowl from me. "Oh! Come on. The girls told us everything. It was a heck of drama for all of you. For the first time, aside from simple bickering!" He shrugged his shoulders. "Which happens once in a while. This was the first time that you all argued because of a mere man!" "He is also your friend, Collen. So shvt up!" I was getting pissed, and at the same time, I w
Jasmine POV . . I ran like the wind, tripping on the protruding roots from the ground. I had been running for hours, escaping from these two creatures that were chasing me. They were mere shadows when facing the strong light of the sun, but invisible forces when the giant leaves blocked its beams. I had been gasping for air and wanted to quit, but my mind was set not to let these two unknown forces win. I tripped for the third time, and it hurt a lot. I checked my knee, which was now bleeding. "D*mn it!" I whispered as I crawled to the nearest tree trunk to hide and rest for a while. Although hiding was futile, I still hoped I could run away from them. What did they want from me anyway? I gasped, holding my breath when I heard the rustling of the dried leaves from the ground. My palm clamped my mouth as I curled myself into a ball, hugging my knees. The wound was now healing, thanks to my wolf. "Where are you, oversized pup?" One of the shadows spoke, looking for me.
Jaque POV . . "Jaque!" my stepmother's voice echoed in the whole house like thunder, jolting me from my spot. I was in my room and had just finished cleaning the second floor of this house. As much as possible, I would like to rest for a bit, but it looked like the word resting for me would only happen when I was already dead. "What does she want this time?" I muttered under my breath as I got up and dragged myself to the door. "Coming, Lauren!" I answered before she would yell again. Upon coming downstairs, a black ball gown with a sweetheart neckline covered my petite body. "Here!" I knew that was Lauren even if I couldn't see her face. The sound of her demanding voice was no longer new to me. "Take care of this with your life. Jasmine will wear this for the ball tonight!" "The ball?" I asked, surprised. No one told me about the ball. Oh, well! What's new in this pack? No one told me about special events like this. Except for preparing the pack's food and doing their la
Jaque POV . . I woke up, jolting on my bed when I heard my alarm on my bedside table ring, followed by my best friend's call on my phone. "Hah?! I said just an hour's rest!" I grumbled while groping the alarm. My eyes were still shut, and as I opened them and checked the time, I hastily got up and took my phone. "Hello, Kelly!" "Finally, you answered. I've been texting you, girl!" Kelly grunted. "Where are you? You're late for school, baby!" I groaned. "I know. I was just tired!" I muttered while taking out my PE uniform from the drawer. "I woke up early to clean the whole house!" dragging my feet to the bathroom, my slippers were scratching the floor. I heard a sigh from the other line before Kelly spoke. "I know. That so-called family of yours is horrible. Hurry up now. I asked Andrew to pick you up. Maybe he's on his way!" "Okay! I just uttered before ending the call. Andrew was Kelly's older brother and the future beta of this pack. Just like Adam, he was also as
Jaque POV . . He suddenly got up, not minding that he was naked. He paced back and forth in front of me, feeling confused and stressed. "Adam, what's the matter?" I asked, a bit worried. I sat up and clenched the duvet tight to cover my bareness. My gaze was fixed on him. He abruptly stared at me, his mouth hung ajar. He shook his head when he saw a blood spot on the mattress. "Jaque!" he muttered. I could barely hear his voice, but it sounded gloomy. "I...I didn't expect this!" what?! I got up still holding the duvet and ambled towards him, but he stepped back. Was he avoiding me now? "Adam, we're mates. This is bound to happen. What do you mean you didn't expect this?" He messed his hair, feeling frustrated. A loud groan escaped his lips as he lifted his head like he was asking for an answer from the ceiling. "Why? Why her?" Why me?! Was that what he meant? "Why me what?" I questioned. My tone sounded a bit straightforward. It took him a while before he

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
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
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 . . 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
