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 . . "What do you mean by Goddess Alectrona's descendant? How do you know they are coming?" I got up from where I was sitting and held her hand tightly. She looked deadly seriously and a tad bit scared. "Alectrona has only one child, and this child was adopted. She never disclosed the gender of the child to protect her or him from the moon goddess' children. Jaque, among her children, your wolf was the only one who saw the face of goddess Alectrona's descendant!" I was more shocked now than before. How could my simple life get complicated like this? "Why was that? Why was it that my wolf was the only one who knew about the look of her child? I don't understand!" I shook my head while pulling my hair, I was having a headache, thinking about my situation now. "That's because you were close to that kid. You were playmates. Although you didn't grow up together, you two usually hid your friendship from them. You had a meeting place with that kid. You just stopped seein
Adam POV . . It was already dark when I arrived at the pack. I saw Andrew facing back and forth at the entrance. I got out of the car after parking it in the garage. "Beta Andrew, what's the matter?" I asked. I could see that he was worried and scared. "Adam, Jaque isn't awake yet. Demeter has done everything she could, but she is still unconscious!" Andrew reported. "Where is her room?" I immediately strode to the second floor of the mansion. "Tell me what happened here while I was gone!" "Orora brought Jaque to one of the guestrooms on the third floor. Demeter has been tending her nonstop, but she couldn't wake up!" "She couldn't wake up, or she was too weak to wake up?!" I asked, clarifying things from his words. "Demeter said she couldn't. She was just exhausted, but what baffled her was ~" "Tell me, Andrew. You know I don't want to be kept in the dark!" I told him as I stopped in front of Jaque's room. I was a little bit upset. "When Orora teleported here, s
Adam POV . . I had just gotten a mind link from Andrew that it was chaos outside of the pack. The councils were all dead. They were caught dealing with the werebear king and were also part of Serena's spies. I couldn't believe Amos and the rest could betray the kingdom. "Adam, son. We have to help them!" My father uttered. I agreed with him, but it looked obvious and easy. Why didn't they touch Blood Moon Pack? "I have a call from our neighboring pack that Amos' wolves were just cured by Queen Jaque. They were all lying on the ground, naked!" My Delta reported. Since Andrew was busy patrolling the borders and updating me about the happenings outside. "Gather ten of our warriors and get the truck. We have to help them!" I wasted no time on this. Since Amos' pack was the nearest to our pack, it was obvious that we were the ones who would help them. That's the law in the kingdom. My Delta drove the car while I sat next to him. "Have you seen the princess lately?" I asked w
Jaque POV . . "Orora, what's the news in Rigor's pack?" I couldn't help but ask. I had a strange feeling that something was happening there, and Logan was in danger. "No updates from one of the warriors that you commanded yet!" My sister replied. We had been preparing for the coming of Alectrona, whether in the flesh or through her vessel. I paced back and forth, my hands were fidgeting, and I was shaking all over. Although I didn't feel any chest pain or something else, I was not comfortable staying with the warriors here at all. "My queen, these are your bows and arrows!" One of the blacksmiths in the palace reached me for the special bow and arrows that I personally requested. I hired ten trusted and capable humans as the kingdom's blacksmiths for something. They were the maker of my silver daggers, swords, spears, and bows and arrows. "Thanks, Kelvin. How many arrows have you made?" I asked this young blacksmith. When he first came here, and that was after the war,
Logan POV . . He was indeed strong. He had the power that Alaric had. He could create a fireball. He had already burned the houses of the pack members here. Their houses were totally burned and turned into dust. He sucked the blood of the elders and pups, making their Luna anguish even more. She was blaming herself for being blind and stupid. "King Logan, my pack is gone!" She told me while kneeling on the ground. "I don't have time to babysit you, Luna. I need to save your pack!" I told her rather. I half-shifted into my wolf and lifted my head into the sky. I let out an unwavering command. 'Stay away from Lycus. You can't defeat him with your claws. Protect the wolves and escape this pack. Find help from your neighboring packs. Now!' 'But King Logan, what about you?' Their Luna asked. I glanced at her and smiled. 'I can handle him. I didn't tell her the truth. Go now. Before he kills all your members!' Their Luna got up and shifted. She let out a howl, sending her me
Logan POV . . "King Logan, reporting!" That was one of my warriors in Rigors' pack. He had been staying there incognito to report everything that was happening in that pack. "Proceed!" I simply replied. "The coffin is here!" He uttered, alerting me. "He has just taken the pack. He is now their new alpha. "Alright. Stay hidden. Keep me posted!" "Copy, my king!" We ended the mind-link. However, after a while, another mind-link from another warrior spy came through. She was from Agatha's pack. "King Logan, there is something unusual going on here. The wolves start acting crazy. Like their eyes were turning gray. They are becoming deranged!" "What?" That shocked me a bit. "Stay hidden. Don't get bitten. We'll be there in a moment!" "Yes, my king!" My she-wolf warrior replied before we ended the mind-link. I needed to tell this to my mate and the rest of the group. I mind-linked Jackson first and told him about the two packs that were Alpha-less. "That's cra
Tia POV . . It was a good thing I was informed earlier by Amos before they killed him. Of course, it was automatic. The next place that they were going to track was the werebear kingdom. Hmp! I really never cared if that perverted king would die or his kingdom would lose. Just like goddess Alectrona said, we just used them to keep them busy. While they were busy chasing after us, we were already finished with our plan. Vicious and well-detailed! "Tia, it's me, Lycus!" That old bastard was knocking on my door. If only we didn't need his strength and power, I would never agree to babysit him. "Come in, Lycus!" I told him. I would never call him Alpha Lycus. Since he didn't have a pack anymore. Lycus opened the door and stepped into my room. "I'm still starving!" He sneered. "Oh! Come on! You just had three packs of blood. Don't make me go hunt again!" I stomped my feet, screaming my protest. Since I brought him to my hideout, he never stopped asking for blood. "Also,
Jaque POV . . "Hello, darling. How are you?" I ambled towards Logan, but he strode towards me and gave me a deep throbbing kiss right away. It lasted for a few seconds before he let go of my lips. "Sweetheart, we have an audience!" I told him as I glanced at Jackson and Queen Anicia, who was just standing next to me. "Who cares? I missed you, my mate!" He whispered and was about to kiss me again when the werebear queen spoke. "Goddess sake, get a room!" She exclaimed, making me chuckle. "We are here to give you information about your council, King Logan!" Logan had no choice but to stop hugging me and start listening to us. Jackson strode toward us and nodded at the queen right away. "What's up, brave warrior?" He jokingly uttered. "Been good, Beta Jackson. What about you? Have you solved your problem with your mate?" The queen teased. "You have to help me with that. When we're finished with this, you have to come with me and explain to her!" Jackson demanded. The qu
Logan POV . . We entered the door of Amos' office without him around. He knew we were coming but didn't even bother to welcome us. "That sick old mutt is looking for trouble!" Jackson was upset. "I'm gonna give him a lesson once I see him. Just tell me what to do!" He was gritting his teeth the entire time. "I will give you the floor once we find out that my assumption is true!" I told him as I rummaged through his stuff. "Where the h*ll is he?" I couldn't believe I was also asking myself the same thing. Until he arrived, adjusting his necktie a tad bit. "King Logan, I am sorry. I just went to the washroom. I think I may have eaten something that is not delectable!" "Hmm! I see!" I just said. The corner of my lips curled up into a sneer. "You are a werewolf, Alpha Amos, not a human. Your wolf can cure a simple stomach ache!" Jackson sarcastically told him, making him cough. "I guess my wolf isn't strong today!" He chuckled at his own joke, but we didn't even bother
Logan POV . . "Where the h*ll is he?" I roared, making the floor and the wall shake. Some of the nurses had to hold something so they wouldn't fall on the floor. The doctors jolted into their spots and bowed their heads. "I am asking you once again. Where is Lycus?" "My king, he has escaped!" One stupid doctor had the nerve to tell me what was obvious. I gripped his neck and lifted him up, His feet were dangling in the air. "M-my king!" He was trying to escape from my grasp. "You think I can't see that. What I am asking you is how he escaped?" I gritted my teeth and was this close to breaking his neck. I heard him gag, but I was deaf and blind at the moment. Deaf to his cry and blind to his situation. "My king, I think I have an answer to your question!" One of the nurses butted in, shaking in fear. "I saw Marliza talking to someone before she!" She glanced at the dead body of the nurse on the floor. "She died!" I dropped the stupid doctor and nodded to get off my sig
