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 . . "There's a possibility that they are mates. The way they stare at each other in the courtroom. Jackson, didn't your cousin say anything about her mate or something?" Logan was more curious than ever. While I leaned my head on his broad chest, Kelly also leaned her head on Jackson's shoulder. "Not a clue. She doesn't share her private life with me these days. She became secretive!" Well, I had a notion about the reason. That's probably because of me. "I can see that she is close to Miranda!" I butted in as I sat straight, but Logan gently held my head and leaned it back on his chest. 'Why?!' I asked through mind-link. My eyes squinted at him. 'I've never seen you for more than two weeks, and then the moment I came back, you were put here in prison. What do you think will I feel?' Well, I could guess he had a valid reason. I wrapped my hands around his waist to calm him down. 'My bad, my mate!' I smiled at him, and he smiled back. 'Don't worry, when I'm bac
Jaque POV . . We were waiting for her words. Kelly glanced at me from time to time. My eyes also wondered as my ears were itching, holding back from a big announcement she was going to say. "I can't tell you here. I know somebody was inside my cell. I can't see it, but I can feel it!" F*ck, she was indeed powerful. Kelly and I pursed our lips and shut our eyes at once. Plan failed! 'Let's go. She can feel us no matter what cloak we have!' I told my best friend, and she nodded. We both recited the retreating spell and in just a snap, we were once again inside our cell. "What now?!" Kelly asked, stern and anxious. "We have to tell our mates about this!" I tried to concentrate, reaching Logan through mind-link. What I discovered was that in the dungeon, we couldn't converse through our thoughts if one was inside and the other was outside. Logan said it was for safety purposes. "How?!" Kelly creased her eyebrows at me. "They are not coming down until tomorrow. They exp
Logan POV . . "The Presidential Suite it is. Aren't you going to finish the feast, King Logan?" King Bodvar asked. "I am very much eager to be with your wife, King Bodvar. So, if I may. I would like to rest now!" I told her as I gripped Queen Anicia's hand, making her whimper. "Huh! The queen of the werebear kingdom is yours for tonight. Let me know in the morning at breakfast if she satisfies you!" He even winked. He didn't care if his first wife was being raped by anyone. I glanced at the queen, whose eyes were still pleading. I had to do something before it would be too late. I turned around and stared deeply at her. I glanced at my beta, and he secretly nodded. He spoke to the king about the food to distract his attention. "You understand what I signed earlier?" I whispered as I moved my lips closer to her ears, pretending I was kissing her. "Yes, I do. Let's go before he changes his mind!" She replied. Without further ado, we exited the banquet and left the kin
Logan POV . . We had been wasting time for a couple of hours. Every time I would open the topic about the deranged werebears, he would start a new story about his kingdom. He would command his wives to entertain us. He would always find ways to channel the main reason why we came here into another conversation. Just like now, he began speaking about how the werebear kingdom had started. "My grandfather was ruthless!" He let out a crazy laugh, enough to get my ears twitch. "He invaded four small werebear tribes and began a small kingdom. He made those tribe chiefs his advisers!" "Impressive. Making your enemies your advisers!" Beta Jackson chuckled. "He was vicious!" Henry butted in with a sneer. "Indeed. The vicious werebear king of all. Those tribe chiefs couldn't do anything. They were all under his feet. Even their wives were offered to him, and their sons became the warriors of his kingdom!" "Hmm!" I just reacted. That reminded me of someone. My own grandfather. He cre
Logan POV . . We were on our way to the werebear kingdom. It was reported that King Bodvar's grandfather bought the whole island to build his kingdom, and now, as time passed by, it was progressing. Upon arriving at the airport, my Beta and five warriors took our luggage and strode straight to the exit. The Immigration checked our belongings. One of the officers sternly stared at us while opening the zipper of our luggage. This officer was not human. He was a~ "You must be King Logan from the Shadow Rock!" He whispered, making me gaze deeply at him. "I am Henry, assistant of King Bodvar. I am here to pick you!" He uttered as he raised his hand, and five brawny and bearded men appeared at the door. "I see!" We let them carry our stuff and followed them closely. The airport was crowded, not because of the passengers waiting for their flight, but because these humans couldn't stop staring at us. We were like celebrities being surrounded by our fans. It was a good thing I was we
King Bodvar POV . . At the Werebear Kingdom... "My king!" The door slid open in my office. I lifted my head and closed the book I was reading. I creased my brows at my assistant and slammed the book on my mahogany desk. "Forgive me, my king. This is a letter from the Rogue King, King Logan Knight!" "What's the matter?!" I took the envelope from my assistant and read his letter. It has his stamp marked in red at the bottom of the paper. The logo of his kingdom was on top, along with its name, Shadow Rock. "Hmm! Prepare a feast. We will have important visitors tomorrow night. The mighty Rogue King and his Beta are coming to our kingdom!" I placed King Logan's letter in the drawer and got up. I fixed the collar of my suit before patting Henry's shoulder. He had been my assistant for years and the only one I could trust. "My king, what is the purpose of his visit?" He asked, curious. I walked past him and stood straight near the glass wall, watching the sunshine. My building
Logan POV . . "I want to buy their new branded phones. I have read on their news that they have new models of phones every day. And their sauna there is wonderful. Logan, can we go tomorrow? I will ask Katrina to pack our stuff in a jiffy. She will also go with us, right? Witch Anya, too!" She was thrilled that she couldn't stop talking. She paced back and forth with excitement. "Can Jackson and Kelly go with us? Oh no! They can't, right? Jackson has some work to do here while we are gone. But Kelly and Jack can go, right? A hundred percent they can go with us!" I had to stop her from imagining wild. "Sweetheart, you have to stop there for a while and think about this through!" "But why? The kingdom has three private planes. There is no problem, just in case. We can bring five to ten omegas and warriors with us. There won't be any danger, Logan!" What was going on with my mate? She suddenly changed, I thought. "I know. You are right. Let's go home first and talk about th
Logan POV . . I was irked in pain while the royal doctor healed my wounds. I had a wolf, but Shiva had done so much that even my healing ability couldn't heal them. "Sh!t! That's hurt!" "Forgive me, King Logan, but your wounds are deep!" The royal doctor uttered. "The queen is scary!" He added. Our imperial physician had been with us since my grandfather's reign, and he was like a grandfather to me. He was one of the wolves who could comment like this about Jaque. "Doctor, you have no idea!" I told him. When she was biting me earlier, I felt she also bit my clavicle. "Could you also check my bones?" The doctor coughed hard at my question. "Why?" I sternly asked him. "Yes, you are right on that one. Your clavicle is broken. We have to put on a bandage and you must wear this for a while!" He showed me the sling, and my eyes widened. "You have to wear this until it is completely healed. And no sparring or sports for you!" "F*ck! I have never worn any of that in my entire
Jaque POV . . I was enraged when that vamp put her hands on my mate's shoulders and moved her annoying face near his cheek. I didn't care if she was saying something, but as a responsible mate, he should have pushed her. But heck no! He also moved his head to the side, meeting her lips. From my angle, they were almost kissing each other. I couldn't control Shiva's emotions at that time she shifted right straight into his room, making Katrina clamp her mouth in shock. She even sprinted to the corner when she saw how big Shiva was. They had never seen me shift before. They just saw my claws, my fangs, and the glow in my eyes. Some of them had never seen my wolf yet. This would be the first time. I printed quietly out of the room, remembering my goal. I didn't want to create a show in front of these vamps. It's not yet the right time to appear in my wolf form in front of them, especially to that vamp b!tch. But I could take exception to my mate. I hid in the corner while waiti
Logan POV . . "Amber is right, King Logan!" Cassius seconded. "There is someone in the room who is more qualified to be Prince Alaric's temporary successor!" This old vamp didn't want to give up. This was what Alaric was telling me before. There were hard-headed elders in the council who were also greedy for power, and the first one on the list was Cassius. "Alright, like I said. Present me that qualified member of yours!" I gently slammed the table, a tad bit impatient. I glanced at the doctor who had been silent since the meeting commenced. I had no idea what was running in his mind, but his calmness was somewhat intriguing. "King Logan, that vampire is no other than me!" Suddenly, Amber, the Council leader's daughter, answered. Some of the vampires at the table nodded, agreeing with Cassius and his daughter. However, Doctor Williams was just staring at everyone. His head didn't move, but his orbs were glancing from left to right. He was stealthily observing his fellow va
Jaque POV . . "Logan, you're back!" I hastily ran toward him and hugged him tightly, ignoring that I was wet all over. Logan hugged me back while his stare was with Doctor Williams. The doctor had just looked down at the floor. His lips formed a thin smile. "I had just arrived from the mansion of the leader of the Vampire Council. Since not all vampire leaders can come tonight, I just gave Cassius a ride to the palace!" He cupped my face and kissed my lips, much to my surprise. The kiss was possessively deep and somewhat threatening. When he released my lips, he glanced back at the doctor, who was still bowing his head. "What about you, my queen? What have you been doing since you woke up?" There was some hidden meaning in his questions, and the tone of his voice was sarcastic. "Oh! I was swimming with Katrina when Doctor Williams arrived for the meeting!" I glanced at Katrina, who was carrying a towel. She hastily strode toward me and hung the towel on my shoulders. "I s
