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
Jaque POV . . "Huh! This is hard. Can we take some rest?" I asked while panting. I had been doing this push-up for about fifteen minutes, and I could no longer take another move. "That's the simplest, yet you can't even last long!" Witch Anya shook her head in disappointment. "You keep going. It is not even an hour or thirty minutes, tsk tsk tsk!" She placed her hands on her hips while ambling back and forth in front of me. "I have never done this before. Not even once!" I defended, which was the truth. My father never brought me to the training ground or the gym. Although I went there many times by myself, that was to clean them. The Davis family all thought I wasn't warrior material, and if the Blood Moon Pack would ever be attacked, I would be their first bait so they could escape. That was the words of my stepmother and stepsister. "You were treated as a slave. Use that strength you saved now. No more whining like a baby. Stop complaining and start growing up!" She whi
Jaque POV . . I gasped as I woke up. My head was almost slipping on the edge of this tub. I was panting terribly as I sat straight and shut my eyes for a moment, processing my senses on everything that happened to me. 'Shiva, did we travel to the realm in our dream?' I asked my wolf whose eyes were gleaming with joy and whose mouth was glued to a smile. 'Yes, we are, and I got to see my mother again. I got to chat with her in our favorite spot in the garden!' My wolf answered. 'Isn't she beautiful?' She added with a question. 'Yes, she is. I also met Thor and Collen's aunt. What is her name?' The goddess of shape-shifters didn't exactly introduce herself to us. 'Oh! Neptune. Her name is Neptune. I remember everything now, and I will share them all with you if you like!' Shiva was still on cloud nine. 'Of course, I like it. I want to know my wolf's life before she met me !' I winked at my wolf and petted her head, making her purr like a cat. Shiva was acting like a spoiled pup
Jaque POV . . I gulped in anxiety when I noticed I was naked. The moon goddess immediately covered me with a fabric that was designed exactly like their clothing. It was sheer white with a single strap on the shoulder and a pearl belt on the waist. The dress was silk, so soft, and so immaculate. I glanced at the sandals I was wearing. They were decorated with golden beads and my hair... My goddess, my hair. It was perfectly styled, I could even feel its silky strands and smelled its rose petal scent. What had the moon goddess do with me? Suddenly, I wanted to see myself in the mirror now. "You will have your time to praise your beauty or your mate to bask in your godliness, Jaque Davis. For now, you have to focus on me!" Her voice became stern, making me feel anxious and afraid. "Didn't you invite her here to be scolded?" Alectrona butted in. Shiva was snarling inside of me. 'I am going to end you when you don't stop pestering me!' She voiced out. Alectrona just smirked at
Jaque POV . . If this was just a dream, I had no idea what to choose. Could somebody wake me up now, or I would forbid anyone doing that? This place was absolutely perfect. My guts were telling me that I had lived here before, like a long time ago. 'Shiva, where are we?' I asked my wolf. She was also wondering. Her eyes scanned the surroundings. Her paws were pacing back and forth. 'I don't know, but I felt like I have been here before!' She gasped. 'The fountains, the golden pathways, those!" She pointed at the hanging gardens with lavender flowers, gracing the walls and the high ceiling. 'I wish somebody could tell us where we are now!' I sighed as I stepped forward, following the garlands of flowers that were tickling my soles. I just noticed now that I was barefooted. 'Let's keep walking until we see someone!' Shiva beckoned, and I did. 'Butterflies were flying around the gardens. Bees were busy sucking the nectar of some flowers. Goddess, this garden was a paradise. 'Wai
Jaque POV . . "Who did this?" Alaric was also stunned. He was both amazed and anxious. If 'he' could drain all the bloody waters on the ground within just a millisecond, then that 'he' was more powerful than Alectrona. I was just also staring at the dry ground, still dumbstruck. When I glanced at my mate, he was already holding a pair of trousers and a jacket that Peter got for him. The dome was widely open, but the wolves were adamant about staying. They were unsure if it was already safe outside. 'Thanks, Peter!' I heard Logan nod at his delta through mind-link while the latter just gave him room to shift outside the dome. My mate found a huge rock nearby and strode there to transform. After a few minutes, Logan appeared in his human form, and he immediately ran to my side, giving me a sweet, deep kiss. "Missed me this much, my mate?" He whispered, ignoring the crowd watching us from the dome. "Hmm!" I simply hung my hands on his broad shoulders and rubbed my nose on hi
Jaque POV . . I flinched when suddenly somebody tapped my back. It was Alaric, staring at me. "You have to shift, Shiva. I can carry you on my back!" He proposed, but before he could say another word, Logan's roar interrupted him. 'That's my mate, Alaric. I can take care of her!' His possessiveness was screaming to the core. Alaric and I had just rolled our eyes before my brother stepped aside and took Amira instead. Collen rode on Orora's broomstick while me?! I looked around and saw a huge trunk. I knew well that in every branch of a tree, there were always extra bags with clothes inside. They were for emergency cases like this. I immediately sprinted to that tree and reached for the bag hanging on its branch. 'Caught yah!' I heaved a sigh of relief when I opened the bag and saw a t-shirt and pants inside. I hastily shifted into myself and put on the clothes that I had randomly taken from the bag. When I went out from behind the tree, I saw my siblings waiting for me. L
Jaque POV . . I was still in my wolf form, and Shiva was having fun watching Alectrona's vessel scream while her skin was burning and blisters forming everywhere on her body. 'Huh?! That's what you get from aggrieving us!' I sneered. My paws gradually lifted from the ground, their pawprints marked deeply on the soil. I glanced in Collen's direction and caught him staring at me, smiling in satisfaction. 'We won!' He mind-linked us. 'This time, she can't come back. We won for the second time!' He proudly uttered as he lifted his chin and rested his hands on his sides. 'Don't think about that yet!' Amira's words made us all shift a confused gaze in her direction. 'She is a goddess. She doesn't easily give up and lose!' She wasn't staring at us, but her stare was fixed on Tia, who was almost unrecognizable due to her scalds. 'Amira!' Orora was still gasping. Although she didn't have any nosebleeds anymore, her strenuous panting still showed that she was the one who exerted
Logan POV . . It wasn't just one, but the whole descendants of the moon goddess came to rescue all of us. Jaque, in her human form, was leading them. Prince Alaric, with fireballs in both of his palms, Princess Amira was floating in the air, eyes that were stern, denoting danger. At the back was Orora flying low on her broomstick, and Collen covered the huge hole on the land with his power as he majestically strode with his siblings. All of them were coated with grandeur and vengeance, prepared to end Alectrona and her descendants. I saw Alectrona in the aura of Tia stepping back when she saw who was coming. She still had this smug look, but everyone could see she was dumbstruck. Perhaps, just like me, she wasn't able to predict it. Especially when Collen had already sealed the giant hole she created. I felt sorry for those wolves who were buried alive, but this was the only way. "You know no matter how you combine all your powers, you can't defeat me. I am the goddess of dar
Logan POV . . 'The one who can hurt and defeat me is only my mate!' I could feel the gums of my teeth bleed as I gritted them. I just clasped her little neck with my fangs when she jumped toward me. However, I just managed to create a small wound, for she disappeared right in front of me. 'Where did she go this time?' Until I heard somebody making an ev*l laugh. Her voice was everywhere, but I couldn't see her physical figure. 'You may have defeated goddess Alectrona in the realm, turned Serena into dust, or crushed Lycus' heart. But you can never defeat me. Everything is done according to her plan. You have no chance of winning Thorin. The goddess of darkness will prevail!' Her words sparked roars from all the wolves in the kingdom. 'You will all fail even if your powers will combine!' After hearing her cold and shallow voice, the earth shook, creating a crack in the ground. The wind whistled, uprooting the trees. 'Go back to the palace. Go to the dome!' I mind-linked my
Logan POV . . l had just witnessed my own Beta falling to the ground with his eyes wide open. Jackson almost got me. It was a good thing that my mate had trained shooters while I was away before. 'Bring Beta Jackson to the palace. One warrior must guard him!' I ordered through mind-link. 'I will go help him, my king!' That was Kelly, Jackson's mate. I nodded right away, and she carried Jackson in his human form on her back. Kelly was a fast runner. Within just a few seconds, I could no longer see her frame on the border. Everyone howled upon hearing my voice. 'Listen to me!' I lifted my head to the sky. The fiery shade of the sky as the sun was setting gave me a clear sign. It was time for this war to come to an end. I growled three times, my voice echoing in the whole kingdom. My warriors knew. The whole kingdom knew. The wolves in every pack knew. I just raised our flag to the highest level. The horizon was filled with their rage as their growls burst out everywhere. 'Att
