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
Logan POV . . "That was great, Logan!" The wench human's eyes beneath me were glistening in delight after f*cking her for hours. I thought she couldn't handle my urge, but I was wrong. She surpassed my expectations. This wh*re looked innocent but just like what they always say 'Don't judge a book by its cover' "Get your f*cking clothes and get out of my face!" I roared as I got up and was about to stride to the bathroom when this wench stopped me. "Logan, I thought we had a connection. Why? What happened?!" Confused and worried were all over her now disgusting look. "I don't connect with women, wench. I just f*ck them!" I whispered in her ears, making her step back. "What?! So, you mean after that night, then that's it?!" I smirked at her stupid realization. "You are pretty smart!" As I held the doorknob of the bathroom, a series of punches landed on my back. "I hate you. You are a wh*re. You are disgusting!" The wench was having tantrums, too old for her early twe
Jaque POV . . "That bastard!" I groaned as the pain in my stomach heightened. "Stoooppp!!!" I yelled out in my room. I was already curled up like a ball, and my hands kept pressing my tummy. Every time he would do it, the pain intensified. The wooden door slammed open, and Witch Anya came into view with a bowl of hot herbs, which I was sure was as bitter as h*ll. She rushed to my side and put the bowl on the side table first before helping me to get up. "Jaque, be strong. You have to endure it for a while. Let me help you get up, my dear!" She held my back and helped me to sit. I was crouching while my hands were gripping my tummy, and beads of sweat were now all over my face. "Here! Take this!" She put the soup spoon near my mouth, and the strange scent of the herbs hit my nostrils right away. I squinted my eyes at her, asking what she had put in there. "Don't worry! This will eliminate the pain better and faster!" She told me with concern in her eyes. "Take it now that it
Orora POV . . The beam of light was too much that it could blind our sight. We had to cover our eyes with our hands while watching how the transfiguration of the king happened. He floated in the air while his head was lifted in the sky. The light cracked the strong ancient bricks and shook the towering castle. We heard Collen, who was still in his dragon form, growl. Then his voice at the back of our heads came next. 'Have you found the dragon king? Hurry up! Something is happening here!' 'Yes, we have found him. He is still unconscious, but he got his wings back!' King Logan responded. However, upon replying to Collen, King Arabic Reubus opened his eyes, which were still in full while. But his looks were like that of a god. The sackcloth was gone. He was now wearing a white pair of pants but still topless and barefooted. He gradually landed in front of us, staring at us with such curiosity. "King Arabic Reubus, welcome back!" King Logan greeted with a chest fist, which onl
Orora POV . . "Answer my question, Witch? Where is she now? What did you do to her?" Of course, he was referring to his late wife, the former queen of the dragons. His grip on my neck was getting tighter, and I was now being choked. I could feel the air passage in my lungs restrained, making me gag. "K-king Arabic Reubus, Queen Latifia is just there. She does not go anywhere!" For him to feel that his wife was living in his memory, I never let him feel that way. I never used the past term to make him know that his queen and mate had been dead for millenniums. The king of dragons glanced into the tomb. His eyes glistened when he saw his wife's tomb was indeed on the spot where it was earlier. It just moved to the dark corner for a few minutes, but also came back to where it was. "How? How could that be? I saw it. I saw it was gone!" He shook his head as he blinked his eyes. He was still gripping my neck while I was lifted in the air. Now, I had to hit his chest with my f
Orora POV . . I had to speak with him before it was too late. If he was King Arabic Reubus, then he needed my help. He needed my magic to get his kingdom back. I levitated until I reached the end of the castle, but he was not there. I focused as I closed my eyes and took only one object in my mind. Imagine I was the king and wanted to get my wings back. Where would I go? "The underground!" I whispered to myself. Yes, if the wings were his source of power, Alectrona would keep them away from him. She would make sure that the king would never find them. "Underground, where are you?" I was like a crazy woman conversing with myself. Then I heard a loud thud from my right. I glanced around and saw nothing except for a brick wall and a huge shelf with books. "Who would put a shelf here? This wasn't even a library?" I shook my head and ticked my tongue. I was about to turn around and leave when I heard another noise from the same spot. I levitated to my right and observed the wall.
King Logan POV . . If he was here, then I had to find him. I could guess he could still remember me, if ever. The kingdom was chaos. The shape-shifters shifted into different creatures. Some mimicked Collen as a dragon, but Witch Orora had seen that coming. She put a spell on Collen. They could not copy his image. If they tried hard, they would just end their life. I strode to the entrance of the castle, watching the four warriors on alert. "You!" One of the warriors stepped forward with his sword in his hand. "Glad you remember me!" I sneered as I ambled toward them. "We'll never forget you, Thorin. You are a traitor, and you killed one of us!" The other warrior responded. He also prepared to attack as he swung his sword at me. However, I had just gripped the blade, ignoring the blood spouting on my palm. "What are you doing?" He asked and was shocked when he saw me not affected by the wound. "You are not hurt!" He added. The rest of the warriors immediately surrounded m
Amira POV . . "We are here!" Orora uttered. We glanced down and saw nothing but dark clouds. "We can't see anything. Only these dark clouds!" I told my sister. "Orora, can you do something?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "I can't make these clouds clear, but Collen can!" She made her voice louder so we could hear her. I glanced at the king and noticed his quietness. He might be thinking about Orora's words earlier. "Collen, can you make our path clear?" Orora asked one more time, and Collen, as the golden dragon, let out a menacing growl before he blasted a huge fire, dispersing these dark clouds. When the sky was as clear as immaculate, we looked down and almost fell on Collen's scales when we saw the lost kingdom of Diaphora. I knew it was the lost kingdom of the dragons. The old twin castles were still there, standing magnificently and towering over the remaining towers. "So, it's true!" I uttered. Although my voice was covered by Collen's wings' flapping, I
Amira POV . . I couldn't wait to see Alpha Adam Hayes, and hopefully, we weren't late yet. I had this anxious feeling that something was not right. I was waiting for Orora and King Logan inside this stinky room. I rummaged the room with my eyes and grimaced my nose when the strong smell of a cat hit my nostrils. I couldn't help but rub my nose with my fingers. King Logan and Orora were giving the two betas and the alphas of every pack important instructions for the coming of Alectrona. The kingdom needed to be prepared in advance. They made the dome safer, added more protective layers and spells, and renovated it wider. There were also some stretcher beds for the elderly and the kids. Rooms for pregnant women and their babies were built along with their basic needs. Some healers like Demeter and the imperial physicians were also on alert, preparing herbs, medicines, and some potions to fight wolfsbane and silver, just in case. As for my kingdom under the seven seas, Ayesha
Amira POV . . (The same time of event with the sparring) "You are lucky we didn't kill you right away!" Orora pointed her wand at Delmar, who at the moment was now in the dungeon in the Shadow Rock Palace. The dungeon was located in the 3rd basement of the king and queen's luxurious home. The other day, we made a trap for Delmar. I called him to meet me in the woods. Delmar was very cautious since the girls found his real identity. However, due to my behavior with him, I still got his trust. He obeyed at once when I said that I wanted to meet him because it had been a while since the last time we saw each other. "What's the meaning of this?" Delmar's furious gaze was fixed on me, ignoring Orora's words and Shiva's presence. "Amira, why did you lock me up here? What have I done this time?" He glanced at my sisters, who were just sneering at him. Orora chained him in both hands. The metal chains were attached strongly to the wall. How did we take him here? Easy! I ma
Adam POV . . We both had wounds and bruises everywhere. Swollen eyes and bloody noses and mouths, but the more we prolonged this fight, the more we felt energized. I guessed no one wanted to yield. The cheering was getting louder as the training field was getting messier. "Come on! We want more!" The crowd roared. "Is that the best you both got? We've seen those moves before. We want a fresh fight!" The crowd was uncontrollable. As my sight caught Dameron's sneer while gazing at me, my wolf prepared for his next move. It looked like Kylo had already foretold Dameron's moves. "You heard them, Delmar. They are bored!" Dameron snickered. "It is time to finish this!" He stepped back and forth and then breathed deeply. "Huh! Better yield. You will never win!" 'He is exhausted. He can't take another round. He is just pretending to be strong, but his energy is draining!" Kylo's voice sprang up at the back of my head. Although he had been helping me since this fight had begun, t
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'
