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
Jaque POV . . It had been three days since the war between the West coven witches and Shadow Rock warriors had ended. Orora and her sisters were in the dungeon of Logan's kingdom, and according to my source, they were being punished every day. Although I had no idea what punishment Logan prepared for a witch, I could just guess, based on his ruthlessness and fury, that it was something horrible. "Hey, I am going to order pizza. What flavor do you want?" Kelly, my best friend, nudged me on my little wanders. I had been staying at their place since I came back from my fake death. "Anything. You know I eat any pizza flavor on the table!" I smiled at her. The Newman had been hospitable and caring to me even before I met Logan. Now, they had been even more kind. "Okay, I will order Hawaiian and Pepperoni pizza. I'm starving. I think I could eat a horse tonight!" I creased my eyebrows at her words. Since Beta Jackson marked her, her wolf had become a foodie. "You know well
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
Amira POV . . This was a different creature. This was not a shape-shifter at all. The witches couldn't identify it, for its identity was very much hidden. I could sense it. This wasn't a shifter but a real one. I glanced at my mate, who had been bouncing up and down on the back of this giant python. Kylo looked exhausted, but he didn't want to give up. 'Adam, this is a shape-shifter. This creature is a real giant python!' I mind-linked him. Kylo stopped for a while and then glanced at me. 'Oh! Yeah! Then, the more we should kill it. Watch out, my love. I don't want to lose you again!' A tingling feeling sparked through me, and at that moment, I felt like I was on cloud nine. Well, literally, I was floating in the air. However, at this very moment, I just wanted to go down in his direction and hug him tight. That little wonder gave this giant python a free way to slap me with his tail. I was thrown far away to the sea. I felt my whole body shake, and what I heard last was
Jaque POV . . The snake wriggled like a worm, crashing the invisible dome's wall. As our sanctuary flashed like lights in a dark place, the werewolves inside screamed in both fear and fury. The witches kept chanting the spell to shrink the giant python down, but it was not even dead yet when another giant beast came peeping through the tall trees. "What is that?!" One of the kingdom's physicians asked. I could guess who she was even if I did not look in her direction. She once helped Demeter heal me when I was unconscious. "It's a giant werebear! Where are these beasts coming from?" Another elderly uttered. "They are Alectrona's pets!" Vanessa answered. "Don't be scared, guys. The king promised to protect us. We must have faith in him!" I just want to thank Vanessa now. Even in the middle of a disaster, she had never lost faith in the kingdom. "But where is he now? When is he coming back?" That elderly who spoke earlier was the same old man who kept whining about ever
Jaque POV . . In the Shadow Kingdom... Beta Jackson told me to stay with Kairen in the dome. Witch Anya was with me while Victoria was with the elders. The war outside the dome was visible from the thick glass wall. We could see what was going on, and as much as we wanted to help, we were forbidden. "My queen, I made you a glass of warm milk!" Vanessa, one of my private servants for years, gave me the milk on the tray. Next to it were freshly cut red apples. "Thanks, Vanessa!" I gladly accepted it. She also gave my son a cube of peach fruit and sat beside him. "Thanks for taking care of us, Vanessa!" I smiled at my servant. After what Katrina did to us, Delta Kyle and Gamma Peter had been vigilant in choosing my personal bodyguard. "It is always my pleasure, my queen. You also take care of us well. I am just giving back everything to you!" Vanessa smiled back, then she shifted her stare to the recent battle going on outside. "When will it be finished? Seriously, I just
