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
Serena POV . . "Bring me to her!" I commanded condescendingly. Miranda led the way right in an instant. "How long has she been in the kingdom?! How come I didn't know?!" All the while, I was kept blind by what was happening in our world. I knew that Logan and Jackson left the kingdom a few months ago, but the only information I got from the council was that they had to take care of something very important. "Miss Serena, do you remember when the king and his beta left a few months ago? After that, they brought home some witches in secret!" A gasp escaped from my agape mouth upon mentioning the word witches. "Some of them are in the dungeon, and this one is at the inflammatory!" Miranda turned left as she narrated the events a few months ago. "What makes this one special? Shouldn't she be in the dungeon, too?!" I was already enraged that Jaque came back breathing like she really reincarnated, and now a group of ugly witches were roaming the kingdom. Although they were in the
Jaque POV . . "Witch Anya!" I screamed upon seeing her lifting her hand in the air. She was still shaking, and I could see that she was not totally healed yet. She had drained her powers to fight Orora last time, and that caused her to fall into a slumber for months. Now, she was using her power again to hang Serena in the air in her wolf form. Serena's wolf howled as she tried to free herself from that invisible force that was holding her, but Witch Anya's power was strong. "Aunt Anya, you are not healed yet!" It was Kelly, and she was now in her human form, naked. One of the warriors draped a cape around her shoulders to cover her body, which she nodded in appreciation. "We can take care of her!" Kelly added as she tried to come near her aunt. "Stay back!' Witch Anya uttered in a hoarse tone. Her voice was a mixture of a beast and her own. "This wolf tried to hurt my master!" Witch Anya hardened her fingers like she was gripping something, and when we saw how Serena wince
Logan POV . . While we were searching for that unknown force that trespassed our lands, Jackson kept on looking at his watch, and I couldn't help but ask. "What's the matter?" I squinted my eyes at him. He just gave a quick glance and gazed at his watch again. Then he stood up and observed the woods. "Beta Jackson, I am asking you a question!" I was annoyed when he just ignored me. "My king!" Finally, he spoke and strode toward me. "Don't you notice something strange?!" He asked rather, making me crease my brows at him. He also glanced at our warriors, who were sniffing and searching around. Some even climbed up the trees to see further, while some ran to the deepest parts of the forest, but also aware that they could still be reached through mind-link. "What something strange are you talking about, Beta Jackson?" I questioned with a little annoyance. How come he could see something that I couldn't or feel something that I couldn't? "How long have we been searching in
Logan POV . . "Col?!" I asked, repeating his name in my mouth. "Just Col?!" He nodded. His stern gaze was fixed on me. "What are you doing in my territory?!" I had a notion that these were the unknown forces that trespassed into our kingdom. "Just passing by. We don't know where we're going. We came from a faraway land, and we just arrived in this place two weeks ago. One of your warriors smelled our scents. We actually came in peace, but it looked like your warriors were trained to treat passersby this way... very hospitable!" His words were laced with sarcasm, but I just sneered at them. "We are just being vigilant!" I came up with a short reply, then glanced at Jackson. 'Is your watch working now?' I asked through mind-link. Jackson almost jolted in his spot when he heard my voice and then observed his watch and shook his head. 'Negative!' He responded with a snarl. 'These creatures are powerful. What are we going to do?!' 'Let me continue talking with their leader!'
Jaque POV . . 'Wow, this is like Mission Impossible in the Werewolf World!' Kelly mind-linked me while we were stealthily passing by the corridors going to the dungeon. Guards were everywhere, standing alert with their complete armor. There were lamps attached to the brick walls to give light to this unending path. 'Yeah! The only difference is that we're like filming a horror story here!' I told her, making her chuckle at the back of my head. 'Witch Anya said she is at the far corner of the cell, and her sisters are at the opposite side!' 'Uhu! That corner. The oil Aunt Anya rubbed on my skin tells me she is in that cell!' We both glanced at a cell covered in pure bricks, and the door was a thick metal. There was no window except for a small rectangular hole, where we could just peek if we wanted to know what she was doing inside. "How can somebody live in a dungeon? I can't imagine myself in this place!" I whispered, forgetting that we were wearing an invisible cloak.
Jaque POV . . "Who gave you stupid permission to go down the dungeon?!" Logan's voice echoed in the whole courtroom. My head was hung low, and so was Kelly's while we were standing in front of him, his beta, and that f*cking wh*re, Serena. 'What is she doing there?' I asked Shiva, who had been dormant since the dungeon scene. My eyes side glanced at the other audience, and on the right was the council. On our left was Delta Peter, Gamma Kyle, and the seer of the kingdom, whose name was Maritha. "I asked you a question!" Logan roared, making me and Kelly startled. Our shoulders bounced up as we met his gaze. In there, I saw the face of a ruler, ruthless and merciless. However, there was also something lacing behind that tyrant look. It was the sorry and pity he felt for his mate. "No one!" I answered in a low tone. "If there's no one, then how did you get this invisible cloak?" It was Serena who asked this time. "I took that cloak from my aunt when she stayed in our
Jaque POV . . "This isn't bad!" Kelly whispered as she rummaged through the small room they brought us in. She was right. There were two small wooden beds inside and a window. Kelly ambled to the window and tiptoed to take a glimpse of the sky. "Hey, Jaque! Are we near the cliff? I can hear the sound of water!" I also walked to the window and checked it myself. "I think we are. The breeze is different here. It's stronger and cooler!" I told her. I went back to one of the beds and sat on the edge. This cell reminded me of my old bedroom at the Davis household. It's almost the same as this, including the bed. There was a small bathroom at the corner and a separate toilet. I thought prisoners' rooms were horrible. However, this one didn't even look like one. The wall was even painted in white, and the beddings were neatly folded on the bed. "It's like we're just having a small vacation. Did your mate arrange this?" I thought he did. I could see from his look at the courtroom ea
Jaque POV . . "Hello, Shiva!" Serena sarcastically greeted me upon shifting. She ignored being naked in front of everyone. Well, she was always like this. I could vividly remember how she tried to seduce Logan on our first meeting. When they were both naked in the swimming pool. "Or should I say, Jaque Davis!" Her tone changed to stern, and her stare was deadly. I knew even in my wolf form, I could still mind-link her. I was a Shadow Rock member, and even if it was unofficial, I was their queen, which meant I could link every member that was associated with the kingdom. Shiva ambled toward her while Kelly followed just two steps away. She fixed her gaze on Serena, but I could see her eyeballs move from left to right once in a while. My best friend was vigilant. 'Don't forget the branches of these trees, Kelly dearest!' I mind-linked her, reminding her of the dogs that could fly. She snarled, giving me a sign that she got what I meant. Then, I shifted my focus back to the b
Jaque POV . . Shiva let out a menacing growl, terrifying the werewolves and werebears coming our way. I searched for my target, the one and only, Serena Rinks. However, she was nowhere to be found. I glanced at Amira, who was busy drowning the wolves and spinning them in the air. I felt proud of her. She had come at the right time. Although I was curious why she suddenly became a stranger these past few weeks. I almost got caught when a werewolf planned to lunge at me. It was a good thing that Shiva's agility was faster, for it was heightened. All that she had was heightened, honestly. Her height and width. She was bigger than the last time we shifted. Her speed, sight, and hearing were five times faster and clearer. She was different. She was very strong. She just bit the head of the big werewolf and shook it like nothing. Then she threw it away like it was just a piece of a small rock, hitting three werewolves. The impact was so strong that the three werewolves were also
Jaque POV . . I had to do this. I had to help them. Our enemies were getting stronger and bigger in numbers. Where did they come from? It seemed to me that they never decreased at all. Adam and Andrew had been doing everything to protect the pack, but it looked like something was missing, and I had no clue what it was. 'Moon Goddess, I have just given birth to the heir to the throne, and his father is in your world at the moment. Please, show me a sign that he is alright. Show me any signs that Logan and Alaric are fine!' I couldn't help but kneel in prayer, asking goddess Diana for help. I shut my eyes and bowed down, feeling the immense power surging in me. 'Goddess Diana, allow me to help fight our enemies. Allow your daughter Shiva to reign her power. This isn't just for the goodness of every good creation but to cease the darkness that is devouring your children. Allow Shiva to cooperate and unleash her power that once dominated and defeated the goddess of darkness!' I pr
Logan POV . . I was stunned when the whole militia of Alectrona ran to the side, protecting whoever it was who had just arrived. They all shielded someone from our sight. I smelled Alaric's scent coming near me. He was covered with blood and dirt, but it wasn't his blood. It was the blood of our enemies. He tapped my shoulder and glanced at me meaningfully. "She's here!" He whispered, good enough for the werewolves and vampires near us to hear it. "Alectrona?!" I asked, confirming. Alaric just nodded. So, she was the one who stopped the battle for a while. "Great. Now, I don't need to look for her anymore!" I told Alaric as I stepped forward. Alaric followed a few steps away from me. He was showing everyone that I was still their leader, even if my wolf abandoned me. I stopped in the middle, about a hundred meters away from our enemies. My eyes rummaged through the hundreds of warriors. Valto was in the middle, smirking like a crazy man. Then their line dispersed in half
Logan POV . . My energy was draining, but every time I thought about Jaque, it gave me the spirit and strength to fight. We were outnumbered, but I could feel that the moon goddess had given us the will to finish this battle. I looked around and saw pools of blood everywhere. My face was full of sweat, and I was gasping for breath. I searched for Alaric and saw him as good-looking as before. D*mn the power of being a vampire. Even the strands of their hair were always in style when they jumped or lunged at their enemies. I glanced at the wolves, whom Shiva once trained, and I could tell, they were very good. Their healing powers were heightened, so every time they had cuts or deep wounds, they were cured fast. However, our enemies were decreasing in numbers. Some of them were burned alive. Thanks to Alaric's fireball. Other werewolf warriors were wounded deeply, and it took them a while to heal their wounds. We were also fighting with the werebears from the 6th mountain. T
Logan POV . . I fixed my shield and tightened my leather belt. My sword was attached to my waistline on my side. My gear was intact. My helmet was on the marble table. The door of my room opened, and Alaric came into view from the door frame. "Hey, are you ready?" He asked, serious. He was just wearing his usual outfit. Black leather pants and a long English black coat. He had his powers, so he didn't really need to prep like me. This was my first time wearing a warrior's armor. "I am. I am doing this for Jaque and Thorin!" I told him as I picked up my helmet. We were going to Alectrona's kingdom. The great war was imminent. There was just one feeling that had been bothering me for a long time. "I wonder what is going on with them now!" I whispered as I sternly stared at Alaric. "You mean Shiva and the rest!" He confirmed. "They are fine. Your mate is heavily guarded. Plus, the fact that she has power on her own!" He smiled. That was true. Confirming that Jaque had indee
Jaque POV . . "Jaque, we have to go to the dome now!" Witch Anya nudged me. "We have limited time. Come on!" She took two bags from the bed while Victoria took my son's stroller. Just in case he would like to lie down, at least, it wouldn't be hard for me. "Alright, I am ready!" I told them as I carried my son in a baby sling. We all went out to the room, and as we climbed downstairs, we heard the uproar outside. The omegas in the mansion ran everywhere while some of the warriors came to our side. "Our queen, we are ordered to bring you to the dome!" One of the warriors uttered as he took the two heavy bags that Witch Anya was carrying. "No need!" Victoria butted in, making the warriors surprise. "We can teleport there!" She added as she held the warrior's hand. "She is the high witch. She is telling the truth. We can teleport there!" I told the warriors, and they just bowed to us. "Protect the pack and your Alpha!" I told them before we disappeared from their sight.
Jaque POV . . "What's going on? Why is it dark? It's still ten in the morning!" I was carrying Kairen in my arms when I was awakened by the noises of the omegas outside of the room. When Witch Anya came, she was already carrying our usual escaped bag, and now, she added an extra gym bag for my son's needs. "We have to go back to Vermont, Jaque. That darkness means something dangerous!" She told me. She glanced in my direction once in a while while picking up some of Kairen's clothes and diapers. "Victoria, please help us!" She told the high witch when Victoria entered the room. The high witch seemed to know what she was about to do, and with just a snap of her finger, all of my son's milk bottles and formulas were already in the bag. "We need Collen to help Adam carry our stuff!" Victoria suggested as she also packed some of the potions they just made a few weeks ago. "Alright, let's go!" We all went out of the room. The happenings outside of the castle were chaos. I could
Serena POV In a faraway land... . . "My queen, we have news. Jaque Davis has given birth!" Hmm! I just sneered at the news I had just heard. I was expecting this. I raised my hand and signed my spy to leave my chamber. The poor and scared wolf sprinted right away. Yes! Since the dark goddess had given me this power to rule the lands, I was invisible and inevitable. They had no idea that I had been watching them. They were unaware that I had spies everywhere. They were ready to serve their new queen. Some were forced to kneel before me. With just a little trick, scaring them to take away their loved ones, they agreed to obey my commands. "Give my orders to the leader of Yorkshire!" I willed. I stood up to my golden throne gifted to me by my mistress. I had never met her, but I heard her voice once when she entered Tia's body. She gave me orders to destroy Shiva. At first, I had no idea who she was talking about. However, when I remembered that Jaque's wolf's name was
