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
Logan POV . . "What the heck is she still doing at Blood Moon Pack? Draco, get the car ready!" I was fuming in anger, and my wolf was restless. Since we arrived from the West Coven, Jaque had never talked to me. Not even once. She caged herself in her best friend's place and never allowed anyone to speak to her. Anyone except for the family owners, of course. "My king, are we going to pick up our future queen?" Future queen her beautiful as*. She was annoying me most of the time. I didn't even know if she still deserved to be called that. "I've heard from Katrina that Alpha Adam is back, and he went to his beta's place to see her!" "What?!" Definitely not deserving to be called the queen. I was seething in rage confronting Orora at the dungeon, yet I couldn't crack her no matter what I did. "That woman is getting on my nerves!" I strode out, walking past Draco, who immediately followed me in a haste. He hastily opened the backseat door and gently closed it when I got in. D
Amira POV . . Was Victoria's vision true? She was the high witch and seldom made mistakes in her vision. Only once in a blue moon, her vision wasn't accurate. Now, she said our sister, who was dead for a year, had come back to life! "Victoria, are you sure about that?" I asked as I glanced at Shiva, who was still trying to decipher Victoria's words. "Yes, last night. She appeared in my dreams. She said she was coming here. The moon goddess gave her a second chance to live!" Victoria would never lie. Among all the witches I knew, she was the one who never dared to tell the truth. "That must be the reason why King Arabic Reubus wanted to meet all of us!" Shiva finally spoke. "Maybe the moon goddess rewarded her for her sacrifice!" It could be. "If Orora is indeed alive, then let's celebrate!" Our sister was back, who would not be glad. "Shiva, tell your omegas to change the colors of your curtains!" "Got it!" Shiva immediately mind-linked her twenty omegas to change th
Orora POV . . The first thing I did was destroy the glass coffin. I ran to the two-door entrance and greeted the soldiers, guarding the royal tomb. "My...My queen?!" One of the soldiers exclaimed in both shock and horror. "Good day, soldiers!" I told them, and one soldier couldn't control his emotions that he fainted at once. "I am alive. Don't worry. I am not a ghost!" These dragons were scared of ghosts?! That was the first time. I chuckled when the soldier remained speechless. However, when I began ambling, he also got terrified and ran away while screaming. To tell they were guarding the royal tomb. I ran with him, trying to play with him for a while. When he reached the library, he knocked on the high and wide door. "My king, my king!" He screamed in fear. What was the matter with this warrior? Was he that scared of me? When the door swung open, I held my breath and hid in the corner. "It is in the middle of the night, warrior. What are you screaming for? Aren't yo
Orora POV . . After one year... I had been staying in the realm for a year now since my own mother, the moon goddess, took me back from Earth. I had been watching my siblings having a wonderful family. King Logan and Shiva were now blessed with two children. Kairen and Aurora. My nephew was now more than one year old, and I could see a lot of Thorin's behavior from him. He got Thorin's temperamental attitude and King Logan's authoritativeness. He was chaos in the palace. It was a good thing that he also had Shiva's human's patience and gentleness. Kairen was a mixture of his parents. For sure, someday, he would be a ruthless but great king just like his father. As for Aurora, my heart faltered upon hearing her name when she was baptized. Shiva and King Logan spoke about it. They would name their daughter under my name, Orora. My niece. My beautiful niece. She was learning magic on her own at an early age. She could talk to animals like her uncle Collen and could summon the
Amira POV . . "Thank goddess, it is finished!" I couldn't help but exclaim in gladness. Adam gave me a tight hug and kissed my temples. "Finally, we can go home safe and sound!" "No more fears!" Adam added before he sealed my lips with his kiss. We were just interrupted when we heard a loud thud. When we glanced around, we saw King Arabic Reubus landing in his human form. Adam immediately covered my eyes with his palms, and for sure, King Logan did the same thing to Shiva. I could tell, for King Logan even scolded the Dragon king. "Just a reminder, dragon king. You just don't shift in front of our women, okay. You can use that oak tree to ask for some covers!" "My bad. I am just excited to hug my queen!" The king of the dragons uttered. "I am covered now. Thank you, Beta!" That could have been Beta Jackson. He was the designated Beta to carry heavy loads today. "No problem!" Indeed, it was Beta Jackson who gave him clothes. When we opened our eyes, we saw him kissing
Alectrona POV . . 'You can never defeat me!' These five descendants circled me. The golden dragon in front of me, the vampire prince and the princess of the sea on both sides, and the witch and the she-wolf behind me. That jet-black dragon was looming over us and the packs of wolves on my claws. I was surrounded. I could feel my end, but I didn't show them fear. I was one of the goddesses. I was their eldest and well-respected. Until that moon goddess Diana created life on Earth and she got everyone's reverence. 'Guys, we know what to do?' Shiva, the one who defeated me in the realm, spoke at the back of my head. I kept turning around, acting vigilant for any move that they were going to make. 'You are doing great, Jaque, my dearest!' Thorin, my first choice of a descendant but who also betrayed me was here. I growled at him while looking down on the ground. He growled back in his wolf form. The five alphas surrounded me on the ground. 'You have no way to escape now, Al
Alectrona POV . . 'What the heck is going on outside? Where is Dameron? What keeps him waiting? All I told him was to rain my blood so these wolves would be infected. What's keeping him staying longer outside?!' I was acting insane, talking to myself here in the cave. Since all my warriors and servants were killed by these creatures of my sister, I was acting weird. I talked to the walls to keep me sane. Sometimes Dameron would keep me company, but he was the only one who could carry out my tasks now. All of them were dead. However, if these wolves were affected by my blood, I was going to have a new army. How wonderful would that be if Delmar was their leader? Huh?! I couldn't wait any longer. I stood up from this disgusting temporary throne of mine and nonchalantly got out from the barrier I made. "Dameron, have you finished the task I ordered you to do?" I questioned without glancing ahead. I was familiar with this cave, and even if I closed my eyes, I knew the safe pat
Dameron POV . . I went back to the cave in my bird form and updated everything to my dark goddess. I knew for sure that she would reward me greatly again. Even if it was just the two of us now, goddess Alectrona had never felt the scarcity of warriors. She always found some pets to control with. As I reached the doorway, I called her name. "Goddess Alectrona, I built the trap for those stupid wolves. Their king can never enter. We can make them our pets now!" "Great, Dameron. That is great!" Now that they were under my control, no one can stop me. Come forward, Dameron. This is your last task for today. Shift into an eagle and fly high in the dark sky. Take this and pour it to them. Make sure they will feel the rain of my blood!" She reached for me a big bucket with red liquid inside. "My goddess, this is your blood?!" I asked, confirming. It smelled different. I couldn't identify it. "Yes, Dameron. Once my blood pours upon their bodies, they are now under my control. Th
Dameron POV . . These maggots thought they had killed the reptilian king. They have no idea that goddess Alectrona could bring him back to life. All she had to do was snap her fingers and bring his ashes together. I had been watching them from afar. That black dragon in the sky was now their ally. All because he was mated to that witch. That witch should die. I willed the snake man to bite her and transferred his venom to her so she could die. My first mission was almost finished. That witch would face death in a few moments. No one could save her. The snake that bit her was now in ash. No one could cure her except that snake. Her death could make the dragon king vulnerable. It could lead to his losing in the war. I was hiding here on top of the branch of a tall tree, watching them below. Until I couldn't see them disappear, I could not go back to the cave where the reptilian king hid that high witch. I had to stay here to watch. It was a good thing that I was a shape-shif
'The... The Dragon King!' This reptilian king was still in denial that the one taking a shape in the sky was the dragon king. 'Dragons are extinct. Goddess Alectrona told me herself that they were her slaves in the dark world. You are lying!' So, he knew about the dark world. "Your dark goddess lied to you. The dark world is the lost kingdom of Diaphora, and that's the dragon kingdom. So, if I were you, better release us now and apologize if you don't want your kind to perish. Now that I am still merciful!" I was losing consciousness. 'Shiva, I am poisoned with venom. I am losing my strength!' I mind-linked my sister, and she responded right away. 'I will convey your message to them. Don't worry. Hang in there. By the way, your dragon mate is cool!' I could imagine Shiva smiling in satisfaction at the moment. When we heard a growl from the rogue king and more growls followed from the alphas, including Alpha Adam. However, I also felt the press of his claws from my back, pinning m
