Orora POV . . In the Kingdom of Diaphora King Arabic Reubus had managed to bring everything back to normal, almost half of it. The kingdom was still in the process of fixing the ruins the previous war had made, but at least the dragons were working together. They were doing their best to have the glory of their lost kingdom with them once again. I saw my mate commanding one of the dragons about the vast empty lands. Based on their body movements, his king was telling him about his plan for that brownish ground. I felt so curious that I strode toward them. The white thin dress I was wearing had reached my ankles, and every blow of the wind made its hem wave, dancing freely with the breeze. I heard my mate sniff and turned around to greet me with his captivating smile. "My queen, what brought you here?" He asked. The dragon next to him smiled at me before he lowered his head as his greeting. "I felt bored staying in the room. I want to see what you guys are doing. Also,
Adam POV . . "This is just a misunderstanding, Queen Anicia. I was brought here by the water. I was in the Atlantis, talking to my mate Princess Amira. I was supposed to go back to my pack but the water brought me here by accident!" "It wasn't an accident, Alpha Adam. It was fate that brought you here!" Seriously, this queen was getting on my nerves. Kylo snarled at her. 'Is this how she repays our kindness? Has she forgotten that we saved her kingdom from her abusive mate before?' Kylo snapped it loud. 'Need I to remind her that, perhaps!' I told my wolf while my jaw ticked. We had been having an argument for my stay here in their kingdom. These werebears forbade me to even walk to the door. They literally made me their prisoner here. All because of this mentally ill werebear woman standing next to me. "Why not tell that to my mate? We'll see what's going to happen!" I questioned. My orbs were seething in rage. I was losing patience, and at the same time, my wolf wa
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
Jaque POV . . It had been three days since the Masquerade Ball was held, and for those days, I focused on my studies. I was glad that I didn't see Adam lurking around the packhouse and the campus. He also graduated from this school a few years ago, and as the future Alpha, he was required to check the development of every facility and the status of everything in the pack. I hadn't seen Jasmine's shadow loitering around either. The last thing I heard was that Adam called for her presence in the mansion. She must have been jumping around like a five-year-old kid, considering her wish would be fulfilled someday. Or perhaps...SOON! "Hey, girl!" Kelly tapped me from behind. I was sitting alone on a picnic bench under these tall pine trees at the back of the school. My classes had ended 30 minutes ago, but I didn't want to go home yet. "Hey!" I greeted back with a smile. She sat across from me and placed a plastic cup of iced sweet americano in front of me. "I know you're gonn
Adam POV . . I couldn't shake the feeling when I saw Andrew's hand resting on her shoulder. The possessiveness I felt was strong. My wolf would like to snap his hand now if I didn't shove it away from the back of my head. 'That's my mate, he's touching' I heard Kylo, my wolf grumble. 'She's no longer our mate. Remember that. Jasmine is our mate now,' I roared back, earning me a growl. 'That slut is your mate, id!ot, not mine. That slut isn't my Luna. She doesn't deserve the title. Jaque is my only Luna,' I shoved Kylo far away from my sanity. Since I rejected Jaque, he had been bugging me every day and didn't want to take a run at night. He wanted me to apologize to Jaque and accept her as my mate. However, it was too late. Something had already happened between Jasmine and me the other night. It was so fast; we were both drunk, and I couldn't even remember having sex with her. The next day, I woke up naked with her sleeping beside me. How I wished I also felt something
Jaque POV . . Within abrupt seconds, King Logan was already in front of me. His face was buried in the crook of my neck, sniffing my scent. His hand caressed the strands of my long auburn hair while I was just standing there like a freaking statue. While everyone else was watching with awe, most guests in the Ceremony Night gave us cursing scowls. Like I could hear what they were saying at the back of their heads. 'Why her?' 'How arrogant is she?' 'She doesn't deserve to be the king's mate!' 'She is just a low-leveled servant. An omega!' And me... My vision clouded, and my breathing became rapid like a herd of horses racing in my chest. My mind was fighting against my heart. The mate bond that was snapped before was bound stronger, and the pull was harder to resist. No! No! This wasn't happening. Not this again. I didn't want to have mates anymore. I couldn't afford another rejection. I was shaking my head while my gaze was fixed on him. "My queen, why are

Adam POV . . "Who is he in your life, Amira? Why do you have to distance yourself from me? Amira, give me at least a clear explanation, so I also know what to do!" I was on the edge of a cliff with my situation right now. "I can't tell you yet, Adam. Give me a few months. A couple of months to be exact. Then I will tell you my decision after that!" "A couple of weeks of not seeing you is a h*ll in my life, Amira. What about a couple of months? Amira, seriously, tell me the truth. Who is that Amet to you?" "I already told you, Adam. I can't tell you yet. In the meantime, you have to trust me. If you can't wait!" She paused for a while. "Then we can reject each other and just forget everything!" "No one is talking about rejecting here, Princess Amira!" I roared as I gripped her waist and held her tightly. "Don't even think about it!" I sternly told her. Every word I uttered was a bullet piercing her heart. "I will wait. If that's what you want. A couple of months then. But if I
Adam POV . . "Adam? Is that you?" My dear mate had the audacity to ask. Could she not recognize me? "How did you get here?" Wrong question! That even made me more furious. "What am I doing here?!" I asked, repeating her words with sarcasm. I stepped heavily toward the two. My fists clenched when the merman stepped forward and spread his arm, blocking my sight to Amira. "Step aside, stinky fish!" My blood was boiling in fury that I pushed the merman aside, but he didn't even move. "Adam, stop that!" Amira roared, upset. The water around her suddenly produced bubbles. "My princess, just one word!" This annoying merman glanced over his shoulder. I had to admit he had the body physique of a great warrior. He had muscles everywhere, and the height like mine, King Logan, Prince Alaric, and Collen. He was holding a triton in his right arm and a pearl necklace hanging around his neck. "Who is he, Amira?!" I asked, but it was this merman's slap that answered my question. I
Adam POV . . 'Ayesha, where is she? Listen! That was all a misunderstanding, okay? Let me speak to her!' I was almost begging through mind-link. I was pacing back and forth in my office and had no clue how to reach her. 'Can you just tell me where she is?' 'She's in her castle in Atlantis. Alpha Adam, if I were you, I would give her space to think and reflect on her feelings about you!' 'What do you mean by reflect?' I roared. I was taken aback by her words. 'There's nothing to reflect on her feelings for me, okay? I'm serious about her. She is my mate and my Luna. Just show me the way to get to Atlantis. Give me now!' I was getting enraged. This servant of Amira was stern. 'Nope, can't do it, Alpha Adam!' I imagined her crossing her arms over her chest. 'I have to go. I have some matters to do for my mistress!' 'Like what?' Sometimes Ayesha just burst our words that could trigger me and my wolf. And this one was already giving me goosebumps, and she didn't even tell m
Adam POV . . The death of my parents took a toll on my life. We had a werewolf funeral, and it ended for 40 days. First, my parents were mourned by the Blood Moon Pack members in the first week. The alphas of different packs came after, and they stayed in the pack for a week, then the people in the palace led by our king and queen came on the third week and stayed for two weeks in the pack. In the last week, all the werewolf packs paid tribute to the former Alpha and Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. Queen Anicia from the werebear clan also gave her final respect on the fourth week. At sunset, it was a tradition to burn the body of the werewolf and watch the smoke fly to the sky. Then we all shifted into our wolf forms and lifted our heads, howling as we grieved for the loss of our loved ones. That day was the most painful day of the Blood Moon Pack, for it was not just my parents who were burned under the shade of the moonlight. There were almost two hundred of them. The king and
Alectrona POV . . "Alectrona, what brought you here?" Magenta, Diana's long-time servant, met me at the door instead of her. Dameron and I strode towards Diana's chamber rather, ignoring her presence. My cloak danced swiftly in the air as I marched down. The annoying servant hastily ran past us and spread her arms, blocking our way. "You can't go in!" She sternly stopped us. "The moon goddess is not interested in seeing you today, Alectrona!" I just chuckled at her and passed my attention to Dameron, who had been gritting his teeth on her. These two had an unresolved grudge in the past. "Dameron, you know what to do!" I told my servant, and he sneered at once. His snarl signaled the beginning of their unfinished business. Dameron was a shape-shifter while Magenta was a she-wolf. I wanted to watch this once-in-a-lifetime show, but I had bigger fish to catch. As I strode towards Diana's chamber, a dozen warriors immediately lined up in rows to stop me. I just swayed my
Alectrona POV . . I watched my best weapons banish in front of me. The snake that I secretly took care of since it was small, fed it with fresh blood from both humans and animals, and trained it to be loyal and obedient was now just vapor in the wind. The werebear that I wielded and experimented with had turned into its normal size, a useless naked human slave wriggling like a worm. His body was covered with bruises, claw marks, and canine bites. "Useless fools!" I couldn't help but freak out, shaking the whole enormous cave with my voice. "I only have one weapon left!" I thought about it. However, I was not even sure if this one could be trusted. She had a dark heart, but she was new. "My goddess, I have news!" My one and only warrior, who managed to escape in that dragon's kingdom, came in. He bowed to me. He had lost his right arm when he dared to fight Delmar. That traitor! He was just like Thorin. I fed them, drank my wine, sat on my throne, and then what did the
Amira POV . . "What the heck had just happened?" Alaric was pissed. The giant hawk landed on the rock, and Alaric jumped down, furious. There were still fireballs on both of his palms, and they hastily disappeared when he clenched his fists. "Is that some kind of a trick again just like before?" He pointed at the imaginary spot where the two giant beasts disappeared. "Obviously, it is!" King Logan answered. He was now in his human form and wearing his original king warrior uniform. "Alectrona did not want to lose. She always has replacement plans!" King Logan glanced around, devastated. "Princess Amira, where is Alpha Adam?" He suddenly asked. "As much as I want to join in your conversation, King Logan, brother Alaric. I have to attend to my mate first!" I told them. I almost forgot about Adam's parents. I turned around, my eyes roaming the disastered area. I could not find Adam anywhere. The battle had temporarily stopped an hour ago, and some of the casualties were now te
