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
