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
Jaque POV . . We arrived at the palace with our lips connected. I told him to wait till we got to his room, but he feigned being deaf and just carried me bride-style right after we got out of the car. He caught my slightly agape lips at the entrance right away, making me blush when the warriors and the omegas gathered around to welcome us, well, especially me. I tried to push him in secret, but I felt weak as I was drowned in his great kiss. I had no choice but to close my eyes, pretending to also ignore the palace staff's presence. "Greetings, Your Majesty!" I heard the palace's staff announce in chorus, and surely, they also bowed. Logan just walked past them with me in his arms. When we arrived in his room on the second floor, he opened the door with his hand and also closed it with his foot. He hastily and gently lay me down with still our lips tangled together. He groaned when he felt my hands unclutching his belt. He then finally released my lips and stared at me wi
Jaque POV . . "Hmm, that was refreshing!" He uttered as he lay down beside me and kissed my shoulder. I was still catching my breath when I felt his d*ck hardened again. "Ready for another round?!" He asked, winking. His fingers began drawing circles on my breast. "Are you serious?!" I turned my head to the side to glance at him. I asked with my eyes widened in shock. "Aren't you exhausted?!" I moved to the side to meet his cocky look. "Are you kidding me? My dear Jaque Davis, I didn't even use seventy percent of my vigor here. Can't you see?!" He pointed at his d*ck using his lips and raised his eyebrow while an annoying smirk appeared at the corner of his lips. "Wow! Thorin indeed deserves to be called the king!" I praised his wolf with a little sarcasm, making him not only laugh loudly but also feel proud. "Thanks for the praise for my wolf, my mate. Thorin is purring with what you said!" He gave my shoulder another slight kiss, and before I could say anything, he w
Jaque POV . . I spread my hands on the bed and stretched out, welcoming morning, or should I day afternoon. "Hello, world!" I exclaimed in the quiet room. I glanced at the pillow beside me and felt empty when I saw no presence of Logan. I bet he woke up early and also left early again. A knock made me jolt from my bed, and I went straight to the door. "Wait, please!" I was already aware of what was going to happen next. That could either be Miranda or my four personal maids. I just hoped it was the latter. I ran to the bathroom and fixed myself. After about ten minutes, I went out with a little better version of a human who didn't sleep well last night. I went straight to the door and opened it. Miranda's stern look greeted my plastered smile. "Hello, Miranda!" I told her as I swung the door open. The dear strict assistant or head of the servants just slightly bowed without saying a word. She gasped, though, when she saw my mark. I purposely touched it with my index to
Logan POV . . At the banquet... I was holding a flute glass with a Chardonnay wine inside while glancing around. Beside me was my beta, who was looking nicely in his three-piece suit. Aside from looking neat and nice, he was also plastering a plastic smile every time werewolves would greet us. Whereas I? I had been edging inside. I was adamant about giving her a banquet with not enough time preparation. However, Serena suggested that this banquet wasn't only to welcome her but also to make her known to my constituents. "Where the f*ck is she?!" Beta Jackson mumbled, stressed and annoyed. He was referring to his mate, who promised to come, but it had been thirty minutes, and no signs of Kelly Newman yet. "She lives far away. You should have picked her up!" I reminded him, and he just gave me a quick scowl, which I just shrugged off. "You ordered me to stick with you until your mate comes, remember? By the way, she is just in the palace. How come she is not here yet? It
Jaque POV . . A round of applause was given to us by Logan's advisers in the palace, the councils, and Alphas and Lunas in every pack. I noticed that the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack was not here, but the former Alpha and my dad were around. Where could Adam and Andrew be? I forgot to ask Kelly about it. "Everyone, thanks for coming to our future queen's Welcome Party!" Logan began his speech, and the rest started paying attention. The orchestra stopped playing, and the silence was ear-piercing. "Tonight is very important for the kingdom. We have lost our future queen for almost a year...!" I observed everyone in the room. Some were thrilled and grateful that I had returned. I could tell it based on their facial expressions and the bond that was linked between us all. Some were also glaring at me, eyeing me from head to foot. They were throwing daggers at me while forcing a plastered smile. I, on the other hand, couldn't care less what they thought and felt about me. What wa
Adam POV . . I got up and fixed the hem of my sleeves while Camira helped Delmar get up. I was so furious that when he got the chance to stand steadily, I gave him a strong hit on the jaw, making Camira startle as he fell back to the floor. "Alpha Adam, what do you think you're doing?" She immediately stepped between us, shielding this impostor from me. He groaned, getting up for the second time. Still smirking at me while Camira faced my rage. "You can't pretend for d*mn too long, j@ck@ss!" I roared. "You are lucky, Camira is here. If not, I would have torn you into pieces!" I pointed at him, Camira snapping my hand. "That's enough!" She roared at me. "He doesn't fight you, okay? Whatever that is that makes you upset again!" I shifted my glare at Camira and mind-linked her. 'Believe that j@ck@ss all you want, but I am telling you!' I glanced back at him, who was now standing still while touching his jaw. 'He has a hidden agenda, and we are all in great danger if we do
Adam POV . . Just one ordinary day at the Council. I was busy flipping the pages of some documents Camira sent me this morning while browsing some of the reports on my laptop. I creased my brows when my eyes caught something. 'Camira!' I mind-linked our budget officer at once. 'To the office!' I gently uttered. Being the leader, you should be tough and aggressive. That was the teaching Amos planted to the staff here, but I was not Amos and would never be. I treated the staff here as my friends, at the same time putting a wall between us. Meaning, we should all know our positions. 'Yes, Alpha!' Camira responded. 'Shall I bring you something, Alpha?' She also asked. I could already smell her scent coming to my office. 'No! Just you!' I told her. I had my laptop, and the budget for next month's emergency funds for every pack was flashing on the screen monitor. 'Alpha, what's the matter?' She asked as she arrived at the door. I just nodded at her, signaling her to take the s
Adam POV . . "Witch Orora, can I come in?" Since last night, aside from that overwhelming feeling I shared with Amira, I felt something different. Something unexplainable. Something that only the witches could tell. When she just left this morning, I felt devastated, like I had lost something that was part of me. Like I had lost my heart and my soul. The door creaked open, and Orora's stern face welcomed my desperate look. "What is it, Alpha Adam?" Her tone was also nonchalant. Did something happen before I came here? "Alpha Adam, if you are just going to stare at me in front of my door, you can take a photo and leave!" I was nudged by her aggressive voice. "My bad. Can I come in? I need your help with this one. It is about Amira!" I heard her sigh and saw her roll her eyes before she opened the door wide and let me in. "Would you like some tea?" Her voice was still stoic but a little bit nicer this time. Also, yes, I was going to need a liquid to calm my nerves. "T
Orora POV . . Something was odd. I had been searching for that book in my library for hours but I couldn't find it. I had been floating in the air for hours and circling around these stacks of ancient books. I hadn't read that book for disguise in a long time, and now that I needed it, I couldn't find it. "Arrg! Orora, think! Come on!" I swayed my wand, and it formed a glitter in the air. That wand was a gift from the moon goddess itself. She told me to use it if something important needed to be fixed. For now, Amira's situation was THAT something very important. "Orora, we have a visitor!" One of my witches knocked on the door. "It is Princess Amira's mate, Delmar!" I immediately went down to the floor and stuck my wand on the side of my waistband while forming a fake smile. "Vina, stock them back. Hurry!" I told my witch, and she hurriedly used her power to put all the books back on the shelves while I went to the door. Delmar was indeed here, and he was waiting outside t
Amira POV . . "Delmar, I...I am just here. I won't leave!" I told him as I tapped his shoulder and tried to step back, but his hug was tight, and he was trying to catch my lips. "I miss you, my darling!" Before I could stop him, his lips had already sealed mine. However, the feelings were not the same. I felt my lips burning, and I was suffocating. I tried to suppress it, but the more I did, the more I felt I was drowning. Until I did my best to be released from his tight wrap. "Delmar, I am sorry. I just had a headache now. I drank too much last night!" I saw something in his eyes, but I couldn't put a name to it. He looked still upset and disappointed. "Alright! I will give you time to rest. I will come back this afternoon. No! Tomorrow! I will visit you tomorrow!" He said with a stern face. I was pretty sure he didn't like my reaction to the kiss he just did. "Okay, Delmar. See you tomorrow!" I just told him. When he left, I dropped myself to the floor. I felt weak
Amira POV . . How stupid I was. I let that happen. I slept with Alpha Adam last night. I was no longer drunk. I was sober. But I still did a tremendous act, betraying my mate. How stupid could I get? I scolded myself as I paced back and forth in my room. Ayesha still had no idea that I was already home. 'What will I do now? Did Delmar feel my betrayal? Did he feel my unfaithfulness?' I bit my thumb. A mannerism I had since I was a kid every time I was anxious or even scared. I shvt my eyes, trying to think whether to tell Delmar about it or not. However, instead of imagining Delmar's face, Adam's annoyingly good-looking feature last night flashbacked in my mind. The way he caressed me. The way he moaned my name. The way he claimed me. The way he called me his love. The way he stared at me dotingly. They all melted in my mind and stayed in my heart. 'Amira, you are mine and mine only!' I could still remember how he claimed me with possessiveness. It tickled my heart. It gav
Adam POV . . I willed Jasmine to come here. In the meantime, I had no idea where Jasmine's loyalty lay. Sometimes, she looked different. She was someone who could be trusted in small matters. Other times, she was confusing. Her personality had changed a lot since the time I stripped her of her title as the future Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. Jasmine obeyed at once when I told her what to do. She didn't say anything nor ask for any condition for her little sacrifice. She performed the task well. I knew that my nanny for years was scolding Amira in the dining room. With my wolf hearing, I could hear her clearly. A smile crept on my lips on how Myhesni protected and fought for me. She was indeed my mom outside of the womb. I knew that Jasmine heard them, too. I told Jasmine to bring my suit now, at three in the morning, which was very unusual for me. I commanded her to stay in my room for at least 30 minutes or less. When the time was up, I deliberately knocked the books on my
Amira POV . . He brought me to his villa. I had been here once before. I heard he had three omegas, serving him. One was taking care of his meals and groceries. One was cleaning his place and gardening. The last one was taking care of his clothes and some appointments or schedules. I glanced around, still familiarizing myself with the choice of colors he used. 'Not bad, but it's not his personality!' I murmured, uttering inwardly. He brought me here to speak about that bar incident. But he also let me wait for him in the living room. I ambled to the stairs, lifting my head on the second floor, where he went about thirty minutes ago. I took a deep sigh, counting the ticking of the clock on the wall. 'One, two, three!' It was now three in the morning, and here I was still awake and in another place. Ayesha, Demeter, and Orora were being taken care of by the two betas. I was about to go to the dining room when suddenly, the digital door lock produced a sound. Somebody was coming
Amira POV . . We were teleported by Orora in front of the Blood Moon Packhouse. I was still trying to escape from his grasp when he deliberately held my waist instead. "Try to run away, and you will see how I get angry, Princess Amira!" He whispered in my ear. I flinched when his lips touched my earlobe. I gradually turned my head to see his reaction. I bit my lower lip, controlling myself to punch that sneering face. "I still have an effect on you, haven't I?" "Hmm! Don't be cocky, Alpha Adam. A drunk man did the same thing to me at the bar, and my reaction was the~" "What did you say?" He cut me off with his loud roar. His hold on my waist was too tight, I had to tiptoe and place my hands on his chest. "What are you doing?" I roared back, ignoring the stares we earned from our friends. "Let me go!" "Ahm! I was just wondering if Delmar felt betrayed by this scene!" Demeter had no filter at all. "I can ask him tomorrow if you just let us pass!" This time, Beta Andre
