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
Serena POV . . 'How can that be? She's nothing but a bastard human!' I threw away the first thing that I grabbed on the table in my room, and it smashed right into the window. "Miss Serena, calm down!" Miranda had been watching me since we both left the grand ball and strode straight to my chamber in the palace. Logan gave me the east wing to stay for as long as I wanted, and this has been my home since I was in high school. We had our own place outside of the palace, which was twenty minutes away from here. "How can I calm down, Miranda? He already marked her. That b*tch!" I picked up another vase and threw it on the floor far away from the table. The broken pot cut my fingers, and blood sprouted on the carpet. "Miss Serena, your fingers!" Miranda was about to come closer, but I raised my hand to stop her. My finger was beginning to heal when I checked it. "Tell me, Miranda. How did that b*tch still alive? I thought she was burned alive a year ago. How could that happ
Jaque POV . . "Jaque!" my stepmother's voice echoed in the whole house like thunder, jolting me from my spot. I was in my room and had just finished cleaning the second floor of this house. As much as possible, I would like to rest for a bit, but it looked like the word resting for me would only happen when I was already dead. "What does she want this time?" I muttered under my breath as I got up and dragged myself to the door. "Coming, Lauren!" I answered before she would yell again. Upon coming downstairs, a black ball gown with a sweetheart neckline covered my petite body. "Here!" I knew that was Lauren even if I couldn't see her face. The sound of her demanding voice was no longer new to me. "Take care of this with your life. Jasmine will wear this for the ball tonight!" "The ball?" I asked, surprised. No one told me about the ball. Oh, well! What's new in this pack? No one told me about special events like this. Except for preparing the pack's food and doing their la
Jaque POV . . I woke up, jolting on my bed when I heard my alarm on my bedside table ring, followed by my best friend's call on my phone. "Hah?! I said just an hour's rest!" I grumbled while groping the alarm. My eyes were still shut, and as I opened them and checked the time, I hastily got up and took my phone. "Hello, Kelly!" "Finally, you answered. I've been texting you, girl!" Kelly grunted. "Where are you? You're late for school, baby!" I groaned. "I know. I was just tired!" I muttered while taking out my PE uniform from the drawer. "I woke up early to clean the whole house!" dragging my feet to the bathroom, my slippers were scratching the floor. I heard a sigh from the other line before Kelly spoke. "I know. That so-called family of yours is horrible. Hurry up now. I asked Andrew to pick you up. Maybe he's on his way!" "Okay! I just uttered before ending the call. Andrew was Kelly's elder brother and the future beta of this pack. Just like Adam, he was also a
Jaque POV . . He suddenly got up, not minding that he was naked. He paced back and forth in front of me, feeling confused and stressed. "Adam, what's the matter?" I asked, a bit worried. I sat up and clenched the duvet tight to cover my bareness. My gaze was fixed on him. He abruptly stared at me, his mouth hung ajar. He shook his head when he saw a blood spot on the mattress. "Jaque!" he muttered. I could barely hear his voice, but it sounded gloomy. "I...I didn't expect this!" what?! I got up still holding the duvet and ambled towards him, but he stepped back. Was he avoiding me now? "Adam, we're mates. This is bound to happen. What do you mean you didn't expect this?" He messed his hair, feeling frustrated. A loud groan escaped his lips as he lifted his head like he was asking for an answer from the ceiling. "Why? Why her?" Why me?! Was that what he meant? "Why me what?" I questioned. My tone sounded a bit straightforward. It took him a while before he
