Logan POV . . "Ahh!" I snapped the marbled desk, and it split into two. My fury couldn't contain my wolf, Thorin, from what happened tonight. "F*cking find her!" I growled at my beta and delta, and they sprinted at once. 'How dare she reject us?' Thorin was furious, and so was I. 'How dare she not accept us in front of everyone?' Thorin would like to ascend. 'Let me find her!' 'You know d*mn well that you can't control yourself if you're this enraged!' I reminded him. 'That Jasmine said she is wolfless, so she can't shift. Beta Jackson and Delta Peter can find her!' I would just wait here in my suite at the hotel. Alpha Adam's family owned this building, and we're going to stay here for three days. 'What's her connection with the Alpha and future beta?' I was wondering myself. The reaction of Adam when that future Beta Andrew held her shoulder screamed possessiveness. Something I should only possess when it came to Jaque because she was my mate. 'We need to figure that
Logan POV . . Upon emerging at the entrance of the cave, Beta Jackson and Delta Peter were both waiting for me with our clothes in their hands. "Our king, you have found our queen!" Beta Jackson inquired with a wide smile. A smile of joy and excitement coming from a childhood friend. "I'm so happy for you, my king!" he added while giving me my clothes. "Thanks, my friend!" I gently put Jaque down while reaching for my three-piece suit from my beta. The moment her flat shoes touched the wet ground, she immediately hid herself in front of Jackson and Peter. She buried her face on my bare chest and hugged me tight. Based on the spark of the mate bond, I could feel two different emotions coming from her: One was fear, and the other was doubt. My beta's and delta's mouths hung ajar, showing a shocking expression. I gave them a slight snarl and mind-linked them to leave, giving us some privacy. The two bowed right away. "It's wonderful to finally meet you, our queen!" Peter g
Jasmine POV . . At the same time... "It can't be, mom. It can't be!" I was freaking out. My mother and I were inside my room here at the Hayes mansion, wondering what had just happened. I paced back and forth in front of my mother. I could tell she was as agitated as I was. "I know, Jasmine. I know exactly what you feel right now, but you have to calm down!" My mother was as upset as I was, but she was still calm while I was on the verge of attacking my stepsister. If only I had already had my wolf, I would have lunged at her and snapped her neck. But I was not officially eighteen yet. "Mommy, I don't want to be Jaque's servant!" I told my mom as I halted in front of her, holding her shaking hands. "We have to do something. We have to get rid of her!" My mind was clouded with darkness. "You can never be her servant, Jasmine!" "Yeah! But she is the king's mate, and I am just a Luna. She is higher than me!" I stomped my feet, feeling frustrated. All I thought at the
Jaque POV . . "King Logan, we need to discuss things further at my office, if you may!" King Logan and Alpha Adam had been debating about my stay here at Blood Moon Pack. My second-chance mate wanted me to leave with him tonight, but my former mate wanted me to stay in the pack for a while. "You are in no position to command me, Alpha Adam!" his voice vibrated as his wolf would like to emerge. He would like to take control. "You are forgetting your place here, mutt!" King Logan's patience was long gone, and it was his wolf who was commanding now. Alpha Adam felt insulted being called mutt based on his dark expression and his attitude that I knew. He always considered himself high and mighty, and this was maybe the first time he was called a mixed-breed dog. However, he couldn't do anything for the one who called him that was higher and mightier than him. "My king, my deepest apologies, but as the pack's rule, Jaque Davis can only leave Blood Moon Pack with my consent!" I
Jaque POV . . The kiss was deep and passionate. I could tell, based on how he used his lips, that he had lots of experience with women. It stung me a bit thinking about it. That he had s*x with different beautiful and sexy women of his age. I couldn't help but feel inferior and insecure. I was just an ordinary girl who didn't even shift yet at the age of nineteen. He groaned when he noticed I stopped responding. He held the back of my head and pulled it closer to him, gaining him more access. I shut my eyes at the extreme sensation that was devouring me, forgetting those women in his past for a while. When I moaned, it gave him extra confidence to go further. His tongue was now searching for my tongue inside of my mouth. It twirled, looking for its partner, and when it found it, they both danced in the rhythm of our hearts. As his kiss took my breath away, my hands seemed to be asking for more. They hastily wrapped themselves around his head and pulled his hair. My body felt
Adam POV . . I swung my office door, creating a loud creaking sound. Striding quickly as I could, looking for my future beta. I passed by an omega whose name I couldn't recall. Was it Vicky, Nikki?! "You!" I condescendingly called instead. "Good evening, Alpha!" This omega bowed at me in fear. She was holding a tray with two bottles of wine in a bucket full of ice. "Have the guests left?" I was out for a couple of hours now, and for sure, all of the guests had already gone home. I really didn't have the appetite to entertain them anymore after what happened. "No, Alpha Adam. Some of them stayed with Alpha Drake!" the omega replied. "Who are they?" Curious, who could they be? "I think it's the Werewolf Council!" Of course, I almost forgot about them. I could guess the reason why they stayed. It was almost midnight. "Thanks, Vicky!" I walked past her, and before I could open the door to the conference hall, I heard her mumble. "It's Nikki, Alpha. I've been your
Jaque POV . . 'Hello, Jaque!' She was running to the meadow. 'Play with me!' She began circling me while wagging its furry tail. In this wide and greeny hills, where the sun shone proudly on the bright blue sky and the grass danced freely with the wind, her white fur swayed with the rhythm of its breeze She was as soft as cotton, as fluffy as cloud, and as white as snow. 'I don't know. I like to sit here and just bask in the glory of this beautiful scenery!' I heaved a sigh, swallowing the fresh air that hit my nostrils. Its earthy scent merged with the sweet fragrance of the garlands of small flowers around me. The yellow daffodils touched my bare feet, and the tip of these young grass tickled my sole. 'C'mon! Don't be too comfy sitting down!' This lovely creature was too adorable to ignore. My hand touched its head, making her whimper. When I touched her ears, she purred. I also felt some electricity stirred up in me. 'You should get up and do something!' I narrowed my
Jaque POV . . After about an hour, I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror. I felt like I was reincarnated into a beautiful nymph. "My Lady, you are stunningly beautiful!" Alma, my now fashion designer, smilingly praised my look. "This dress is fitted perfectly for you!" She added. "Yes, my lady!" Vanessa agreed. "You are truly and naturally beautiful!" She fixed my one-sided hair style, showing my slender neck. She just gave me minimal makeup, which I desiredly requested. "Your neck is gracefully thin, My Lady!" Katrina giggled. "King Logan might suddenly bite you on your marking spot when he sees you!" She covered her mouth with her palm while chortling. The rest followed. They were young adults acting like teenagers around me. Well, I could follow them, for I was also a teenager myself. "Oh my goodness!" Vanessa commented. "Careful, Miranda might hear us!" She warned, but even she was also giggling while jumping around. "My Lady, you and King Logan are perfect m
Jaque POV . . We were here. We were now here at the final destination of the Rogie King. We clasped our hands as we approached the wooden fence near the entrance of this forest. It was just a simple barrier for human eyes, but for creatures like us, it was the doorway to the realm of the hollies. The fence was just beside the highway where a few cars passed by. This highway was in the middle of mountain trees, and the only lights that served as the vision of the drivers were the post lamps with a distance of ten meters away each. "So, this is it!" I breathed. "Are you ready, my king?" Forcing a smile, but my hands were shaking. I just couldn't imagine Logan parting with me again, and this one had no chance of returning. If he failed, then he failed. If he won, then it would be a great victory for everyone. "I am, sweetheart. Don't be anxious, okay? I promised to be back, hence I will be back!" He smiled back with the reassurance to return to me alive. I hugged him tight
Logan POV . . At night... "This is ridiculous!' Alaric snorted under his breath. Victoria commanded us to stay in the middle of the forest to reflect. It took them a couple of hours to convince us to agree to their stupid plan. Alaric picked up a stone and threw it in the dark. "F*ck!" I scoffed and rolled my eyes at his exaggerated expression. Getting up from the ground, I stepped away for a while. I couldn't stand being with this bloodsucker for just a second. How about more days or months? "To sh!t this!" I whispered good enough for him to hear it. He glanced over his shoulder before he gradually turned around. Our stares met, burning and bleeding in both rage and disgust. "You think I also approved of this, werewolf king?!" He sarcastically uttered, making me raise my brow at him. "No matter what we do, there is no way that vampires and werewolves will be at peace!" He stressed out. "You think I also want that, vampire prince?" I also told him with the same tone

Logan POV . . There was no way in this world, and in the realm of the gods and goddesses, would I team with this bloodsucker. I hated their kind and his guts! "I can go there alone, Jaque. I don't need anybody's help. Especially not with him!" Everyone could tell who I was talking about based on my glare in his direction, and the same with him, Alaric was throwing me a dagger stare. "I can't even stand his face in my castle. What do you think you're doing, Shiva?!" Alaric was also upset. His fangs were protruding in his gums. "If ever!" But then the wind had suddenly changed its direction. Alaric was massaging his chin while staring at me from head to foot. "Although I like the idea of having a special snack. A king's blood might be tastier than a normal wolf's blood!" My blood boiled at his words, and I sprinted toward him right away. Even if Thorin was dormant, I still had the wolf's speed in my system. "Say, that again, bloodsucking moron!" My voice vibrated with that
Jaque POV . . "How is he?" I was waiting outside of our designated bedroom for a couple of hours when Witch Anya finally came out with some potion in her hands. "What are those bottles for?" I pointed at the two small plastic bottles that had the colors green and yellow in them. "For your first question, King Logan is getting better, but still unconscious. Your second, these are vials for taming Thorin and making him weak a little bit!" She walked past me and turned around after. "Jaque, you can see him now!" Witch Anya smiled. "Victoria is watching him!" I just nodded and stood up. I went straight to his bed, where he was lying unconscious. Victoria was just calmly watching him. "Logan, can you hear me?" I whispered in his ear. I heard him groan and was delighted to see that he was responding. He was so pale. Thorin had taken a lot of his energy earlier. "Logan!" I sat on the edge of his bed. Victoria was just watching my every move. "I am just here!" I whispered again. Wi
Jaque POV . . "Where are they? Are they still outside?" Witch Anya questioned upon appearing in front of us. Victoria was with her, just like her neutral expression, calm and cold. When the blast of something like thunder flashed on the door, creating an ear-deafening noise, the usual calm Victoria jumped on her post and gripped Witch Anya's arm tightly. "We have to stop them now. We are wasting too much time!" I yelled at them, making them all glance in my direction. When they saw how serious I was, even Logan, who was a high and mighty king, obeyed at once. "Let's go. You stay behind me, sweetheart!" He whispered as he placed himself in front of me, shielding me from the enormous fight outside. "Witches, form a small circle!" Orora commanded. I was stunned that none of the two protested at her demanding tone. As they began chanting a spell in Latin, Collen also shifted into an eagle and flew toward Alaric, who was shooting fireballs at Amira. On the other hand, Amira
Jaque POV . . Logan and I were still resting when shattering broken glasses made me jolt from my sleep. My hand involuntarily went onto my chest as I gasped loudly, making Logan crease his brows and his still-sleepy eyes open. "Logan, did you hear that?" I whispered as I glanced outside. That was indeed ear-deafening. "Looks like something is going on outside!" However, his attitude seemed not to be bothered by the noises at all. He wrapped his strong arm around me and pulled me back to lie down instead. "I'm still sleepy!" He also buried his face in the crook of my neck and sniffed my hair. Within just a split second, I could already hear his calm breathing. "But Logan, it looks like there is a huge fight going on!" I struggled to get up. His arm was like a metal, heavy enough to lift. "Logan, I need to check~ whoaaah!" I screamed in fright when I saw Alaric just crush on the bricks of the castle by the window where our room was. It seemed like somebody or something strong
Adam POV . . "Never mind!" She just also shrugged her question off. She turned around and was about to leave when she tapped my shoulder. I felt chills down my spine when her skin touched my shirt. "You appear to be anxious when I come closer, Alpha?!" I could hear a tease in her tone. I couldn't even afford to glance at her. "Of course not, my princess. I am not worthy to feel anything for you except my respect!" That was the truth, although I could hear Kylo snarling at me, disapproving of my choice of words. "Then why do I hear disapproval from your wolf?" With those words that she just released from her mouth, I was rooted in my spot. Kylo was also dumbfounded. Could she hear him? "I... I... don't know what you mean, Princess Amira!" I was stuttering. 'Pick up your brain on the ground, idiot!' I heard Kylo roar. Princess Amira suddenly burst out laughing. "Your wolf is funny, Alpha Adam. What's his name?!" Should I tell him? An idea popped up in my mind. "Make a g
Adam POV . . In the dining room, everyone was silenced. While three servants placed different meals on the marble table, Andrew and I stared at the food. Obviously, no seafood was served. There was pork, beef, and salad. Fresh fruits such as papaya and cantaloupe were also at the corner. One of the servants was serving the princess by putting different food on her plate. The other servants were busy pouring white wine into our glasses. "Alpha Adam, what do you know about my siblings?" Suddenly, Princess Amira asked. I was about to put the steak in my mouth, but I had to stop and put the cutlery down to answer her question. "I have met Orora in a battle. She is quite fierce like you!" She snorted and rolled her eyes upon hearing my comment to her sister. "Collen, on the other hand, as I have heard, is a trickster. He can change his appearance to different forms!" "Indeed, he is. He can change into a woman and ant, too, if he wants!" Princess Amira continued. "What about
