Jaque POV . . We arrived at the palace, and thousands of warriors and staff were already waiting for us from the gate to the field. I was astonished at the same time terrified. "Did the king just order the whole armada to look for us?" Kelly was also stunned. "D*mn, Jaque. You're screwed!" She even added tension to my already trembling aura. "To think that shape-shifter said the king didn't care about my absence at all!" I mumbled before letting out a deep, frustrating sigh. "I think he just tricked us into getting mad at your mate. But... what was his purpose, though? I couldn't get it. King Logan helped them find a shelter to stay!" Even I was puzzled about that. Of all the things that happened yesterday, my mind was getting baffled as time passed by. There was just one thing that validated my theory, though. "That shape-shifter is powerful. He has the same vibes as Orora!" I held the reins of my horse tight, preparing myself to bring my presence to my king. "Or
Jaque POV . . Inside his vast room... "Logan, I admit what I did was wrong. I admit I disobeyed you countless times. But the last time wasn't entirely our fault. The shape-shifter tricked us. You know his power. You've also been tricked by him before. Logan, please reconsider!" I was already beseeching in front of him. "You disobeyed me countless times, and I saved you from everyone's judgment countless times, Jaque. I don't want us to be like this, but you are the one forcing me to be like this to you!" He cupped my cheeks with his palms, and also, with a pleading look like mine, I could feel his heart tearing apart. "I don't have anywhere else to go, Logan!" I sniffed like a child. I don't want to go back to Blood Moon Pack. I... I don't really have a home!" I looked down at the carpeted floor. "I gave you a home at Shadow Rock, but you ruined it. Jaque, what I am doing now is for your own good. Rather than you being thrown at the dungeon again or being whipped a hundre
Jaque POV . . I felt like the world had turned upside down with what I heard. A year?! A freaking year?! I was unconscious for a freaking year! How did that happen?! "Well, I know you have plenty of questions!" It looked like Witch Anya really had this mind-reading power. I was just staring blankly at her while she explained everything. Only a few registered in my mind. "You unleashed your power, and it broke down the palace into two parts. King Logan's room was totally wrecked. Before that happened, I heard you calling for my help, so I went to your aid, only to find out that you were covered with bricks and shattered glasses!" "Huh?!" I blinked my eyes several times, trying to comprehend her words. While she was mixing some substances in a big bowl, she continued narrating. "Everyone thought you were dead. Some people in the palace were injured, and luckily, nobody got hurt seriously!" She then glanced at me. "Except you!" "Kay!" Was the only word that replied to he
Jaque POV . . Weeks had passed, and I was getting used to being alone, not having Logan around me. Humans said moving on after a breakup wasn't that easy. It was difficult and could drain your energy and sanity. You would miss that person you once shared your secrets, happiness, and love. You would reminisce about the places you both went to. You would cry over old photographs either from your phone or from your homemade photo album. You would always stare at your twin in the mirror and ask yourself, "What have I done?" However, on my part, I chose the harder path to take. The path where there was a promise to myself. A promise of self-respect and self-love. A promise that there would be a goal to pursue. That goal was to succeed in the battle of life, to not quit, no matter how painful the struggles were. I promised not to cry over men again. Two heartbreaks were enough. F*ck to both of them, Alpha D*ckhead and King Jacka*s! I was Jaque Davis, half human and half she-wolf
Jaque POV . . A woman was dressed in her doctor's suit. The hem of her laboratory gown flapped around her knees as she marched, enjoying her new uniform. She adjusted her rectangular-shaped glasses with her finger and smiled at everyone she met. "HI! Good morning!" She was glancing from left to right and then visa versa. "How are you today?!" She was excited as she hugged the clipboard on her chest. "Good morning to you, too!" Her little daydream was stopped by Witch Anya's greeting. "Are you thrilled with your new task?!" She asked the girl, looking in the mirror, still smiling beautifully. "Lily Swanson, I am talking to you!" "Ops! That was me! "Yes, I hear you, Witch Anya. Oh! I mean, mom!" I giggled, clamping my mouth with my hand. Witch Anya scowled at me, but it was just for a second. "Let's have breakfast. You will be late for your internship!" Yes! I was now an intern at a small hospital here in Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire, England. Five years had pass
Jaque POV . . 'Hmm! This is a wonderful sight!' Shiva kept on talking to me while the presenter was speaking in front. She was explaining our tasks as interns, but I couldn't focus because of my annoying wolf. She had been staring at Doctor Williams, who was sitting next to me. 'Shut up, will you?' I scolded her for the 10th time. 'I need to concentrate here!' I gritted my teeth at her, giving her a warning, which the doctor mistakenly saw. "Are you alright?" He immediately asked in a whisper. "Yes, Doctor. I am fine!" I replied right away, avoiding his gaze at me. 'My hooman is fine, Doctor, but I am not. I am sick and I need your care!' Shiva was trying to ascend as my eyes flickered from moss green to emerald, and I was this close to yelling at my perverted wolf. I closed my eyes so he couldn't see they flickered, and I hoped that he would also stare in the other direction, not just in mine. "Are your eyes alright?" He asked this time. He mistook my shutting as an ill
Jaque POV . . 'It can't be!' I told Shiva. 'He can't be wounded!' How did that happen?! 'Maybe something happened in the pack!' Shiva answered. 'I can smell something on his wounds. It is wolfsbane. No wonder his wounds don't heal by themselves!' 'I realize that now. Shiva, we need Mom for this. The hospital staff can't heal a werewolf. He needs us. Dad needs us!' No matter how cruel they were to me in the past, he was still my father. And I had not seen him for years now. 'Remember, Jaque. You are Lily now. You're no longer Jaque Davis. You are Lily Swanson now!' 'I will always keep that in mind, Shiva. Come on, let's mind-link mom!' I was about to leave the emergency room when the nurse earlier held my arm. "You are a doctor intern. Where do you think you're going?" "To the restroom. I have to pee!" I lied. She stared at me for a moment before releasing my hand. I sprinted right away. I looked for a quiet corner to mind-link Witch Anya for the restroom was not
Jaque POV . . I was in our department, waiting for the updates for my dad and the other guy. My fingers tapped the table rhythmically as my eyes were fixed on the door. Once the door swung open, I got up and strode toward Ayesha at once. She was told to accompany the nurses in the ICU for that day. Tomorrow would be my schedule. "How's d-the patient?" I almost said, Dad. It was a good thing Ayesha didn't notice it. "He is still weak, but his wounds are getting better. I mean, like really healing. No scratches or scars!" Ayesha replied as she ambled to her desk. "Even the nurses are amazed. He is still unconscious, though!" This wasn't good at all. Dad and his companion needed to be transferred to any werewolf hospital in London as soon as possible before the people at the hospital could notice their differences. "What about the other guy?" Ayesha then glanced at me and shrugged her shoulders. "Same. Weak and unconscious. Also, some of his wounds disappeared like magic
Adam POV . . "So, you're telling me that Katrina, one of Jaque's private servants, was Serena's spy?!" I repeated what Andrew had just told me. I was sitting on my swivel chair in my office, just resting a bit. I leaned on the headrest while waiting for Andrew's answer. "Yes. Right now, she is serving her punishment. I've heard from Kelly that the day after tomorrow, all of the spies in the kingdom will be whipped 100 times in the plaza. Everyone is going to witness their punishment. Miranda is one of them!" Andrew took the snowball from the table and shook it. "Isn't this the snowball Jaque gave you before you went to Alpha Training?" He furrowed his brows, curious. I just smiled at him. I glanced at the drawer of my desk and opened it. The tiara was still there, wrapped beautifully. "What's in there?" Andrew asked. "This? It's a tiara I bought on the island. The owner of the antique shop said that this belonged to a nymph. Her tiara was washed away by a typhoon a long tim
Logan POV . . "Where's Jaque? Where's my son? Where are they?" I threw these vamps a series of questions, as they kept glancing at each other. We were now in the palace, but we couldn't find any of their presence here. Not even a tiny aroma of my mate's scent wasn't here. "All we know is if there is an emergency, Christopher will bring the queen here. Since Orora is here, she hid your son from that crazy she-wolf!" One of the vamps explained as she twitched her lips. "Alright! Where is that doctor?" I turned around and faced these vampires. My fists clenched when they couldn't answer my question. D*mn it! I just brought these bloodsuckers back to life, and they couldn't even protect my own family. "Answer me, d*mn it!" "King Logan, we apologize. We don't know!" The one who spoke earlier uttered, earning her a growl from Thorin. "King Logan, please don't get mad at us. We really have no idea where Christopher is at the moment!" I was about to snarl at them when one of the va
Jaque POV . . Thorin lunged at Serena at a great speed, targeting her neck. And it was because she was still gripping my neck when Thorin bit the crook of her neck, she had no choice but to let me go. My wolf had fallen half-unconsciously to the ground, but I could hear some painful screams and growls from my surroundings. I could hear Collen and Doctor Williams coming towards me with their loud steps and voices. "Shiva, you have to shift!" Doctor Williams uttered. His voice was begging. I was trying, but my wolf and I were too weak to shift. "You have to get her out of here. I will help Thorin finish that crazy she-wolf!" Collen told the doctor. I had no idea what happened, but I felt Shiva's body was lifted. After a while, I felt foreign. The place was quiet, and the scent was something familiar. With my half-open eyes, I glanced at Doctor Williams, asking for a question. "You are in Master Alaric's room. Orora gave me a stone for teleportation in case of emergency. Shiv
Jaque POV . . I was shocked! My eyes widened in disbelief. We were frozen by time. Serena's snap was suspended in the air while I was watching my brother perform his power. Both Serena and Shiva couldn't move, but they were both awake, and their minds were active. Collen raised his hands, spreading them in the air while he chanted something in language, only the creatures in the realm of the gods and goddesses could understand. Orora told me once that we had chants and spells, and their languages were different from those ordinary spells, even a high witch couldn't understand them. But now, Collen was using them to save me, and I had to admit that when his body glowed, he looked exactly like a god. Serena tried to move her fingers gradually while my brother stopped the time. Even the furniture was hanging in the air. The simple chandeliers had moved to the side, and then it froze. I had to do something. I had to fight and help Collen. Once Serena had snapped her fi
Jaque POV . . I was watching Orora putting my son to sleep while Collen was petting his favorite leopard. I got to use to the present of different creatures in the house anymore. At first, it was a bit awkward seeing either a black bear or a leopard in the living room. But now, it felt like they were part of my little family. I left Shadow Rock for one reason. I ambled towards my siblings and kissed Kairen's forehead, who was now quietly sleeping. "Is the leopard staying here for tonight?" I asked Collen, who stopped petting his pet and shifted his gaze at me. "My babe is our guard tonight!" He smiled. "Why not rest now. Let Orora take care of Kairen, and I will see the surroundings!" He got up and was about to leave the back door when Orora stopped him. "Do the vampires lurk around?" She asked. "Yep!" Collen shortly answered. He strode to the back door and left. His leopard was left in the living room, along with some faes flying and humming. They surrounded my son wh
Jackson POV . . At the palace... This was one good operation that needed an enormous vacuum. All the spies should be put in sealed bags and thrown away into the ocean. Would Princess Amira like such gifts, though? I bet she wouldn't. "Take them all to the plaza. Let the whole kingdom know of these traitors in our lands. Whip them until they bleed and slowly die!" I was fuming in anger. With the help of some of our warriors in every pack and in the Shadow Rock, we had caught over a hundred spies working for Serena. Werewolves and she-wolves of different ages and ranks. But... The one I was looking for was not here. I knew she had changed the moment King Logan left the kingdom for over a year. I was aware that she had had a crush on the king since she was brought here to the palace. She thought she could hide it, but there were countless times I saw her stealing a glance at the portrait of King Logan in the library and talking to it like it was real. "Beta Jackson!" T
Serena POV . . I threw the glass of wine at the wall, shattering it into pieces. I had been hiding in this dilapidated house since goddess Alectrona signaled me to retreat. I wanted to end Jaque at that time, but her calling was way stronger than my urge. I had no idea what happened in their world that made her stop, but I was pretty sure it had something to do with Logan and his wolf. "That too!" I loudly spoke what was running at the back of my head, Tia came rushing along. I was gasping in fury when she saw me in this room. I couldn't even say that this was my room. I would never choose a rundown place to stay, not even for a day. "My lady, are you alright?" Tia asked, worried. She immediately crouched down to pick up the pieces of glass on the floor. Although she was an omega, goddess Alectrona had left a small amount of her power in her body, making her a little stronger than her fellow omegas. "Do I look like I am alright, Tia? I hate this!" I roared as I kicked th
Logan POV . . Upon landing, I almost broke the exit door with my bare hands. I couldn't wait to see Jaque. Kyle had called Draco, and he said that both the ladies and the children left the palace. Seriously, this had been Jaque's hobby when she was mad, and it was getting now on my nerves. "Any clue where those two go?" Jackson asked, leveling my strides. "D*mn it, Kelly. If something bad happens to you and our son, I'm going to put you in a cage!" He gritted his teeth as his jaw ticked. He was as furious as I was. "Did you call her brother? Maybe Beta Andrew has an idea!" I suddenly remembered. I glanced over my shoulder and noticed the Alpha mutt talking to someone on the phone... in secret. "Who is he speaking to?" I nodded as Jackson followed my gaze. "No idea. Let me find out!" He was about to approach the Alpha mutt, but I stopped him. "When it comes to him, let me do the talking!" I told Jackson, and he just bobbed his head. I strode toward the Alpha of Blood Moon
Logan POV . . "Can this plane get any faster?" Jackson slammed the door frame of the entrance door, startling some of the wolves sitting comfortably on their seats. I couldn't blame him. I also wanted to leave this flying metal and just summoned one of our witches to teleport us. However, for some unknown reasons, they all suddenly became unattended. I took a deep sigh, trying to formulate random reasons to fire back just in case my mate would go feral again, just like the last time. I still felt the pain in my shoulder every time I recalled her furious bites. "I promised myself that the last thing I would do was to make her upset again. How could that happen? Jackson, I thought you planned it well!" I was vexing my anger on my Beta, who was also at the edge of firing out. "Are you blaming me now, Logan?" His voice was loud, forgetting who he was speaking with. His eyes were also burning in both rage and anxiety. I got up and faced him. "Are you yelling at me, Beta?" I as
