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 . . "The news was credible, Adam. Jaque was burned alive!" My father spoke. I hit the glass wall of my office. I was by the window, watching the views outside. Well, I wasn't really watching anything, for my mind was occupied by the news that reached my ears. A lot of stuff had happened in just a blink of an eye. For the past three or four days, everyone could narrate such huge events in the werewolf world. First was the rant King Logan did at a restaurant in the human territory. Second, his coming into my pack challenged me to fight to the death, but it didn't happen because Jaque's wolf stopped us. Third, his arrest and punishment for two days for attacking me and for creating a disaster in the human territory, almost exposing our world. Fourth, his villa exploded at night with Jaque inside, being burned alive. I hit the glass wall one more time, and this time, Kylo ascended. A snarl escaped my lips, hurting and furious. Fifth and the most worrying news, King Logan
Adam POV . . I kept in mind what Reuben just said about Dameron. As I was walking to the training field, I heard the groans and screams of the warriors sparring together. Most of Alectrona's warriors were shape-shifters. According to Reuben, she liked the shape-shifters more than any creatures in our world. Well, of course, since they had more advantages than us. Once they shape-shifted, all of the characteristics of the creature they mimicked, including their powers, were adopted by them. I immediately saw Dameron outside of the circle, staring sternly at the two fighters fighting. Their bodies were already covered by blood, but they didn't stop. What kind of sparring was this? Fight to death?! Maybe Dameron smelled my presence, so he glanced in my direction. He smirked upon seeing me and stood up from his chair. "Quiet!" He roared, and the whole training field fell into silence. "Our main guest is here!" His smirk was getting on my nerves. "Everyone, just in case you don'
Amira POV . . "Okay, we can solve the first option. What about the second? What's the second option anyway?" Shiva asked. "By the way, Orora, do you have at least some drinks here?" Shiva added, making us both glance in her direction. "Oh! I forgot to serve our dearest sister slash queen!" Orora joked, earning her a slap on her arm. "Don't tell us that you're pregnant again. Goddess, Shiva, Kairen isn't one year old yet!" Orora scolded her while sneering. "Shut up, you!" Shiva just smiled back. "I'm not pregnant, okay? And if so, won't you foretell it? You are the witch in the family!" I liked it when we had bonding like this. It built a stronger relationship for the three of us. However, we had more important matters to deal with at the moment, and I just didn't want to waste time. So, I did what I had to do. Twirling my index over an empty glass, forming some liquid. Shiva and Orora were just watching me, and when I asked Shiva what flavor she liked, she just sighed.
Amira POV . . My fists were clenched over my chest. I had been pacing back and forth in front of Orora and her ancient book. We were in her potion room in her coven, still looking for solutions to find, Adam. He had been missing for months now. Beta Andrew was already back on track and was acting as the substitute Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. Their members voted for him to replace Adam for a while. I jolted on my spot when Orora suddenly closed the thick, dusty book, making a loud thud. "What? Have you found something?" I asked my sister, whose eyes were shut, and breath was held. "Orora, do not scare me like that!" I exclaimed. She then opened her eyes and took a deep sigh. "There are two choices!" She calmly said. However, I could tell that there was more to say about those two choices than what her facial expression and tone of voice were screaming. "What are they?" I asked. The front door swung open, and Shiva's queenly look blocked the door frame. She then glanced
Adam POV . . He chuckled softly. Doubt was visible in his eyes. "What's the matter? You don't believe me that I can help you get your wings back!" I sternly told him, a tad bit pissed. "Oh! I do believe you. You are the Great Delmar. Her best warrior. I am just doubting your loyalty. Are you sure you won't go against your own words?" He asked me this time, squinting his eyes at me. "Look! I don't really remember my past life, but perhaps there is a reason why the moon goddess allowed me to come back here!" He twitched his lips at the mention of the goddess Diana. "Do not let anyone hear you saying that. This world is not a fan of your moon goddess!" I creased my brows at him. It was obvious from his words that he, himself, wasn't Diana's worshipper. "I lost my faith in them. She let me stand in front of the court with my neck and hands chained in big metals. I was denied to speak!" He gritted his teeth, and his jaw ticked. The veins on his neck were visible, and his rage
Adam POV . . I had to get out of here. I had to find a way to leave. I had to find that portal to go back to Earth. Now that I have found out the truth about my past life, I had to clear everything to her. I was Delmar in my past life, and Princess Amira was and would always be mine. She was my woman, who I treasured since she had come of age. Although any memory of my past was still a blank space, I would find a way to figure this stuff out. I had been in this realm for almost a month and was considered one of the slaves here. At the moment, we were in this dry land where the sun never shone and the sky was dim. One of the slaves who had been here longer than anybody else said that it was always like this. We dug dry soil and put them in the mold to make bricks. While we spent our days here on the ground, Alectrona's warriors spent their time looking down on us. The bricks we made were for the building of their defenses. "What a stupid act!" I reacted as I threw the hoe o
Jasmine POV . . Delmar's kiss was hot. I was not sure if it was because of the mate bond that I loved it or if he was just a good kisser. I found myself moaning as my tongue danced with his tongue while our lips were tangled. Aside from that, the feeling of pleasure was mindblowing. Who could not feel this highly alert sensation when a gorgeous guy in front of you was kissing you deeply while he raised your leg on his hip. His hardened member was poking the between of your thigh. Plus, someone behind you, another good-looking guy, was pinching your nipple from behind while kissing the crook of your neck. Sh!t! This was too much for me to handle, but when I checked my wolf, she was completely fine. She was enjoying the two werecats a lot. I moaned in between our kisses. My palms pressed Delmar's shoulders when he thrust his member into my wet folds, ignoring that we still had our clothes intact. My wolf protested when he stopped and just stared at me. I flinched a tad bit when
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.
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
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
