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
Logan POV . . This stubborn mate of mine kept on mumbling even if her mouth was taped and her hands were tightly tied. She had been stepping on my feet a lot, causing me to irk once in a while. Her sweat was pouring like a fountain on her face, and the strands of her hair were all over her face. I couldn't even recognize her if I hadn't looked at her eyes, which were glaring furiously at me. We were both sitting in the backseat. Draco was driving, and once in a while, I caught him staring at us in the rearview mirror. "Argh!" I was irked in pain when the heels of her shoe strongly stepped on my Italian leather boot that I was wearing this time. "F*ck it, Jaque!" I roared at her, but she also roared back through mind-link. 'F*ck you, too, as*hole! Take this off. Untie me, Logan. Now!' Her crisp tone was booming at the back of my head, giving me migraine. Even Thorin was having a difficult time handling her and her wolf, who at the moment was snarling at him. Shiva was ready
Jaque POV . . Why was I so weak? When it came to him, I was so useless, and I felt I could not really get mad at him that long. No matter how many times I planted at the back of my head that I would not forgive him and would never come back to his palace, here I was in his car, my wounded lips tangled with his. My mind would like to retreat to this possible regret later on, but my heart was too stubborn and would like to stay. I clenched my fists tightly while his mouth ravished mine. His hand was at the back of my head supporting me. His other hand was busy groping every curve I had, making me gasp once in a while. 'Untie me, Logan!' My sultry voice entered his thoughts, commanding him to release me, and he groaned in his response. I felt his hand release my nape, and I bit his lower lip as a punishment. He mumbled something that was not that audible, but when the rope had been loosed, my hands seemed to have their own minds. They went straight to his chest, touching and t
