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 . . "You must be hungry. C'mon, I ordered the chef in the palace to prepare snacks for you!" He intertwined my hands with his and gestured me to follow him. I thought my kitten heels shoes were comfortable compared to stilettos, but the moment I began my first step, I tripped and almost sprained my knees. It was a good thing Logan's reflex was fast. He immediately caught me before I could hurt myself more. "Are you all right?" He asked, worried and scared. "I'm fine. It's my first time wearing shoes with heels!" I confessed. "I usually wore flats or sneakers in Blood Moon Pack!" Or sometimes I wore slippers or sandals or nothing at all. I would like to add, but I chose to just keep it to myself. "I see. Wait!" He just said and saw his orbs turning into complete white. He was mind-linking someone. How I wished I could also do that. Then Shiva appeared in my thoughts. She had been manifesting in my dreams a lot lately. I wondered when she would come out. I also want
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
