Jackson POV . . Palace! I had been running around the palace like a f*cking mutt that didn't know where to go. My dear annoying of a king was gone missing again. I had been mind-linking him, but he was blocking my messages. "Have you found him?" Serena, my cousin, questioned with vexation. Just like me, she had been trying to connect with Logan, but he was also ignoring her. "Not yet. I already ordered Draco and two of the best trackers in the kingdom to look for him!" I told her with a deep sigh. "Where the f*ck could he be again this time?" I pulled my hair out of frustration. I strode to the door and saw Serena follow me from our reflection on the glass wall. "Where are you going?" She asked, still annoyed. "I'm going to Blood Moon Pack!" I responded nonchalantly. This time, I wanted to vex my irritation, and I just remembered a worthy she-wolf to bicker with. "Don't tell me you are going to see your stubborn mate again? Gosh, Jackson, you are just like Logan.
Logan POV . . "Serena, what brings you to my suite?!" Unluckily, Serena had found me. I had been staying at my suite for a week now, and every night, I had different wh*res on my bed. Earlier, before Serena had arrived, I had just finished rolling a she-wolf from another pack in the hay. It was a good thing Draco mind-linked me first that Serena was on her way. "You've been away for a week now, Logan. Your staff in the palace are asking about you. To add to that, Alpha Amos is worried that you are neglecting your duty as the ultimate leader of Shadow Rock Kingdom!" She was just like her cousin, a nagger. I had to admit, I had been indeed outcasting myself to everyone, but neglecting my duties as the king of my kingdom was far from my plan. Thorin was still in grief with the loss of our mate. He wanted to go off the deep end, growl to its loudest, and just create menace in the werewolf world. I, too, couldn't keep my eye on the ball. I had been cheating myself when I s
Logan POV . . "Orora?! Sounds familiar!" I tilted my head to the side, trying to remember where I heard that name first. However, her mesmerizing amethyst orbs caught my sight. "This is our first time to meet, King Logan, and I am here to bring you good news!" She gestured for me to sit across from her next to Alpha Amos. I had no idea what had gotten to me that I followed her at once. It was like she had this magnet that pulled me to her, making me obey everything she would say. "King Logan, Witch Orora~" "You can just call me, Orora. There's no need to mention my job in the world. Humans hate us, and werewolves think we are a threat. The only creatures that validate our existence are the vampires and the faes!" Lengthy explanations, which were somewhat useful. She obviously or maybe accidentally hinted up the faes, which we thought were now extinct. The vampires, there were only a few of them left in our world. The nymphs and the mermaids and mermen remained under the wa
I had to stay still on the helicopter. As it traveled in the sky, my mind was also floating with different scenarios. What did the witches' coven look like these days? The last time I saw a coven was when I was only three years old, and I could barely remember what it looked like. All memories that were retained in my mind about their features were gruesome ones. Why was that? That was the time that my grandfather massacred the whole north coven of witches in California. The only reason: They declined the king's order to be his seer and his king. My grandfather wanted all the witches in the north coven to worship him and acknowledge him as their king. A long time ago, the North Coven was the strongest group of witches in the whole world. They could perform different kinds of powers such as majestic incantations, spells for curses, and summoning of the dead. Their leader could also do soul-swapping, dream travels, and teleport. These were the powers the king wanted on his side to
Logan POV . . Upon mind-linking my warriors that we had arrived at the right place, I felt like my energy was draining. My wolf, Thorin, wasn't responding, and my strength had weakened. I thought I was the only one who could feel it, but when I glanced at my wolves, they were all whimpering in excruciating pain. Even my beta Jackson couldn't utter a single clear word except for a wincing pain. Some of my warriors had already collapsed on the ground while others were trying to fight the discomfort and torment they felt. We had no choice but to shift in our human forms. "What's going on with us?" Beta Jackson questioned, irked in agony and confusion. "These are all the witches doing. We trespassed into their lands and destroyed their trees. We have to speak with them!" Even I, as a king, was terrified at what they could do. I had seen them using their powers on the werewolves before. "What trees?!" Draco asked this time. He was curled up on the ground. "You mean the branc
Logan POV . . "Your wolf will be the deal you help you find your mate!" Orora was enjoying her little success with a smirk and taunt. I, on the other hand, was trapped in a huge and unfavorable deal. The witches were well aware that if I was going to give up my wolf, there wouldn't be the Rogue King anymore. There would only be me, a simple human without powers and super strength. They could easily defeat me and my army. Aside from that, the Shadow Rock would fall. Jackson stepped forward, closer to where I stood. 'Don't do this. There must be another way!' He mind-linked me with his gaze fixed on them. 'Think well. Don't let your heart control you, Logan. Think about yourself. Think about us, the kingdom. The Rogues rely on you!' At that moment, everything that Jackson said was just a wind passing through me. My mind and my heart were filled with the absence of Jaque, and Thorin had been restless since. He howled as he felt my jumbled thoughts. He knew that I was put in
Logan POV . . I was scared to turn around and look. Although I could see the result of her presence in the facial reaction of Orora, I was still adamant about following my heart. "No! How could this be?" Orora freaked out. "I blocked you. I blocked your calling!" She was shaking in disbelief and shock. "You shouldn't be here!" She pointed her index at someone behind me. Someone I was so missed to see but scared to look now that she was here. A wind blew upon us, and a familiar scent caught my nostrils, making Thorin purr. 'She's here!' Thorin was jumping for joy while I was coated with anxiety. "Well, you didn't see us coming!" Somebody was with her, and I couldn't recognize who. I gasped. I clenched my fists tightly. I couldn't afford to see her, so I gradually moved my neck to the side until I saw a glimpse of her outlines. It was indeed her. She was here, and she was alive. "What did you do? How did you find me?" I heard a crisp voice coming from Orora as three fig
Jaque POV . . It took us a lot of effort to reach out to her only to find out that she wasn't the sister Anya said used to be, or she was always that traitor who played under our noses, and we just didn't see it well. We were blinded by her 'victim' behavior and innocent act. I was blinded by pity and the eagerness to protect her because among my sisters and brothers, I thought she was different. However, she wasn't. I could say she was worse than them! "Orora, we're giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Stop this madness now!" I yelled between their chants while Anya tried to reverse their strong spells. What percentage were the chances we had here? We had only one witch on our side and a bunch of snarling and growling oversized dogs ruled by their as* of-a-hole king. "You're giving me a chance, Shiva?!" She sneered. "I'm giving you a chance to retreat and give me Thorin. You will never win against us. We outnumbered you!" She laughed like a mad woman. "It's time for t
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
