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
Jasmine POV . . I ran like the wind, tripping on the protruding roots from the ground. I had been running for hours, escaping from these two creatures that were chasing me. They were mere shadows when facing the strong light of the sun, but invisible forces when the giant leaves blocked its beams. I had been gasping for air and wanted to quit, but my mind was set not to let these two unknown forces win. I tripped for the third time, and it hurt a lot. I checked my knee, which was now bleeding. "D*mn it!" I whispered as I crawled to the nearest tree trunk to hide and rest for a while. Although hiding was futile, I still hoped I could run away from them. What did they want from me anyway? I gasped, holding my breath when I heard the rustling of the dried leaves from the ground. My palm clamped my mouth as I curled myself into a ball, hugging my knees. The wound was now healing, thanks to my wolf. "Where are you, oversized pup?" One of the shadows spoke, looking for me.
Amira POV . . "Princess Amira, greetings to you!" The six-year-old high witch smiled at me while she stepped down from Collen's back. This tiger groaned impatiently, protesting. "Collen, you've never seen your sister for quite a while. Why be mean?" She slapped the tiger's back, making him snarl at me. "Shift Collen, we all need to talk!" I commanded in my princess tone, and he immediately obeyed. Upon transforming into his human form, he raised his hands for a hug. "Amira, our lovely and amazing sister who is head-over-heels in love with her fake destined mate!" There was sarcasm in his voice, earning him a scowl from me. "Oh! Come on. The girls told us everything. It was a heck of drama for all of you. For the first time, aside from simple bickering!" He shrugged his shoulders. "Which happens once in a while. This was the first time that you all argued because of a mere man!" "He is also your friend, Collen. So shvt up!" I was getting pissed, and at the same time, I w
Amira POV . . "Impossible, Ayesha! Impossible!" I had been convincing my servant and myself of the truth that I found out the other day. Convincing that it was not real. It was just a figment of my imagination or a part of my power manifestation. However, the more I said to Ayesha that it wasn't real, the more I felt that I was lying to myself. "My mistress, you said it yourself. You've seen Delmar naked once before, and you've seen his pride fully with your own eyes!" Ayesha was too vulgar to say it, but that was what I liked in her. Subtlety wasn't her best suit. She had no filter at all. "Ahm. Yeah, I did. Was I drunk when I said that? That was sooo a long time ago, Ayesha. How could you remember until now?" I twitched my lips, abashed at her scandalous grin. "Yes, my princess. You were a teen then and had a huge crush on him. If I am not mistaken, that was before your eighteenth birthday. You wanted to sneak out and meet him in the woods before he would go to his missi
Adam POV . . I groaned at the excruciating pain as the last whip hit my back, creating another deep cut on my skin. I felt so weak that my legs gave up. My knees kissed the cold floor as the chains that were wrapped around my wrist clanged. "I am hoping you learned your lessons, human!" One of the warriors sneered. "If I were you, don't be cocky talking to Tashifa. Especially to her brother, Dameron!" He snorted. "You have no idea what those two can do!" "Well, he might be thinking, just because he's been here before we still favor him!" The other guy added. I was way too weak to lift my head and respond to them. But everything they were saying now was stuck in my head. Had I been here before? Was I like Jaque and Logan? Was I reincarnated?! "Let's go. Let's leave him here. Tashifa will come and see him later!" They were about to leave the dungeon when I finally got the strength to speak. "Where is the dark goddess?" It took them a couple of seconds to answer. "She
Adam POV . . Where was I? My head hurt. I felt my temples splitting in half. I groaned as I massaged them and gradually opened my eyes to check the room. It was dark. No windows, just one closed door. One bed where I was lying down and a side table with a glass of water on it. What place was this? I shut my eyes one more time, trying to recall how I got here. Then I remembered that Alectrona had taken me and forcibly put me to sleep. When was that again? I was not sure at all. I glanced at my clothes. They were now different. Somebody had changed my shirt and pants. 'Kylo, are you alright?' I asked my wolf who was sleeping in the corner. 'Kylo, wake up, body. We need to escape this place!' Yet, my wolf didn't answer. I tried to get up, using my elbow as my support while my fingers massaged my temples. Glancing at the water, I was not sure if they were safe or not. But I was thirsty. I was tempted to drink it. My mind said a big fat NO! "Alectrona!" I roared, calling my
Delmar POV . . Huh! These id!ots thought I hadn't prepared for this. To think they said they had been tracking me. It was indeed a lucky thing that Alectrona gave me the leverage to change into a wolf, at least for a couple of hours before my real appearance popped up. The moment they saw me shift into a tiny wolf, they were all flabbergasted. I howled, confirming to them that I was hurt. Although the only woman I could convince now was Princess Amira, since she was the only one who had not seen me speaking with Alectrona earlier. "Impossible!" This they called Shiva reacted. She circled me like I was an experiment, making me growl at her. She stepped back a bit when she heard my wolf voice. "You're Delmar's wolf? I can't believe you are this tiny. You are just like a husky!" Excuse me?! Comparing me to a dog?! I was a f*cking werecat, b!tch! "You are insulting him, Shiva. Stop circling him around like he is a laboratory specimen!" Amira, my fake mate, scolded her, earning
Jaque POV . . "My queen, calm down. I know you want to kill this bastard!" Demeter uttered with gritted teeth. "Me, too. I just want to end this @ss!" She also couldn't control herself she kicked his chest hard, throwing him at the wall. A groan escaped from his lips as he threw Demeter a glare and an annoying sneer. "Kill me if you want. End my life, but you will never find that Alpha dog to me. You are just wasting my time!" He let out an ev*l laugh, making us all hiss in anger. Orora was so furious that she swayed her hand and that @ssh*le werecat's mouth disappeared at once. "Wow! Orora, what did you just do?" I asked with wide eyes and open mouth, stunned at her sudden actions. "He is loud. It annoys me!" Orora simply uttered. "Nomiko is on her way with Amira. We better prepare!" She slapped the annoying werecat who struggled a lot to speak. His hands were tied on top of his head to a giant silver chain that was strongly attached to the ceiling. "You better behave, j@c
Jaque POV . . "We should regroup. One from the vampire clans, a healer from any creature, and a powerful witch. You are also included, Shiva. Since you are the most powerful creature here on Earth. Alectrona is anxious to clash with you again!" Orora stressed out as she paced back and forth in front of me. "I agree. You take the witch side, Orora. Alaric can take the vampire side!" I suggested, but Orora just constantly shook her head. She then strode to the island and took a bite of a grape. When she finished with one, she took another round. She also poked a chunk of pineapple with a fruit fork and gobbled it in her mouth. I even heard her moan, satisfied with the sweetness of the fruit. "Ahm. Have you been eating well?" I couldn't help but ask. "No! I starved myself for a week just to find the answer to this mystery!" She nonchalantly responded. "I should empty my mind and my stomach to fill in new information about this. Delmar's case isn't an easy task to solve!" I agr
Jaque POV . . I was busy enjoying my whirlpool bath in my own party spa here on our private cruise ship when out of the blue, my beautiful witch of a sister popped out like a jack-in-a-box toy. The only difference was that she suddenly appeared here in my tub, where I was sitting and leaning my back against this massive massage jacuzzi bathtub. "What the heck? Orora, don't ever do that again!" I exclaimed, flabbergasted. "Oh! I certainly will not!" She emphasized her two last words with wide eyes and exaggerated shaking of her head. "I chanted a clear spell of a doorway. Not here, in your tub, while you are having a wonderful, No! Not wonderful. That is an understatement. Fabulous! Yeah! Fabulous whirlpool bath!" She exclaimed back as she stepped out of my tub. She just swayed her hand, and her wet black dress dried up. "Finish that up. We have important matters to do, Queen!" "What?! I have just sunken in. Give me a break, lovely witch!" I shvt my eyes, ignoring Orora's
