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
Jaque POV . . I was having a lunch break when Ayesha came to me, gasping. "Lily, I have something to tell you!" She told me in between her pants. "Take a deep breath first. Okay, what is it?" I furrowed my brows at her. It must have been something special or important. Ayesha didn't need to come all the way to the cafeteria to tell me something nonsense. "The older man yesterday. He just woke up, and he was fighting everyone in the ICU. He is dangerous!" I got up right away. "Lily, don't go there. The man is very strong and he is a little different!" 'Yeah, I know who he is, Ayesha. I also know he is different!' I told her in my thoughts. With my wolf speed, I finally reached the ICU and heard my father's voice at once. "Let go of me, you filthy humans. You don't know who I am!" He seemed to have forgotten the code of ethics of the werewolf council. 'Never put doubts in the minds of the humans.' Three brawny guards were already holding him, but he just shook them off, a
Jaque POV . . "That was what I call a jaw-dropper!" Ayesha high-fived me as we were on our way to our department. "That girl is horrible. She called us slut. Hello! Can she not see herself in the mirror?" She couldn't forget what Jasmine said to her. "I think she is the ~ Ops!" Then she stopped. "What's the matter?" I glanced in the direction she was staring and became curious about what was happening near the lift. "Why are there so many people coming out in the lift? Who are ~" I blinked my eyes and adjusted my glasses. I didn't need to ask who had just arrived. I knew them and lived with them for years since I was ten. They were the warriors of Blood Moon Pack and... NO WAY!!! I turned around, pretending to be looking at something as I fixed the strands of my hair to cover my face. Adam and Andrew had just arrived! "Wow! I wonder whose family they are? I want to stay with them!" Ayesha jokingly uttered while holding the sleeve of my lab gown. "That guy is handso
Jaque POV . . "Okay, they're gone. What are we still waiting for here? Christmas? New Year?!" Collen uttered with a little sarcasm. I couldn't blame him. We had been here for like hours, just staring at the darkness. "How about a new face?!" Victoria answered back, still upset. "Can't you be a little sensitive, Collen?!" She added. "Do I need to answer that?!" Collen retorted rather. These two were really more of a cat and a dog. "Come on, guys. If there's nothing that I need to do here now, I am going back to my chamber. Chao!" "Collen!" Victoria called him, but he shifted into a crow and flew away. "Really an a$$!" The high witch whispered under her breath. She was a bit cute when she crossed her arms on her chest. It showed the kid side of her when she also stomped her feet. Victoria was more than a hundred years old, who stopped growing when her mother transferred her power to her. It was a bit of pity that she was bestowed with such power and responsibilities a
Jaque POV . . We were here. We were now here at the final destination of the Rogie King. We clasped our hands as we approached the wooden fence near the entrance of this forest. It was just a simple barrier for human eyes, but for creatures like us, it was the doorway to the realm of the hollies. The fence was just beside the highway where a few cars passed by. This highway was in the middle of mountain trees, and the only lights that served as the vision of the drivers were the post lamps with a distance of ten meters away each. "So, this is it!" I breathed. "Are you ready, my king?" Forcing a smile, but my hands were shaking. I just couldn't imagine Logan parting with me again, and this one had no chance of returning. If he failed, then he failed. If he won, then it would be a great victory for everyone. "I am, sweetheart. Don't be anxious, okay? I promised to be back, hence I will be back!" He smiled back with the reassurance to return to me alive. I hugged him tight
Logan POV . . At night... "This is ridiculous!' Alaric snorted under his breath. Victoria commanded us to stay in the middle of the forest to reflect. It took them a couple of hours to convince us to agree to their stupid plan. Alaric picked up a stone and threw it in the dark. "F*ck!" I scoffed and rolled my eyes at his exaggerated expression. Getting up from the ground, I stepped away for a while. I couldn't stand being with this bloodsucker for just a second. How about more days or months? "To sh!t this!" I whispered good enough for him to hear it. He glanced over his shoulder before he gradually turned around. Our stares met, burning and bleeding in both rage and disgust. "You think I also approved of this, werewolf king?!" He sarcastically uttered, making me raise my brow at him. "No matter what we do, there is no way that vampires and werewolves will be at peace!" He stressed out. "You think I also want that, vampire prince?" I also told him with the same tone

He stressed out. "You think I also want that, vampire prince?" I also told him with the same tone
Logan POV . . There was no way in this world, and in the realm of the gods and goddesses, would I team with this bloodsucker. I hated their kind and his guts! "I can go there alone, Jaque. I don't need anybody's help. Especially not with him!" Everyone could tell who I was talking about based on my glare in his direction, and the same with him, Alaric was throwing me a dagger stare. "I can't even stand his face in my castle. What do you think you're doing, Shiva?!" Alaric was also upset. His fangs were protruding in his gums. "If ever!" But then the wind had suddenly changed its direction. Alaric was massaging his chin while staring at me from head to foot. "Although I like the idea of having a special snack. A king's blood might be tastier than a normal wolf's blood!" My blood boiled at his words, and I sprinted toward him right away. Even if Thorin was dormant, I still had the wolf's speed in my system. "Say, that again, bloodsucking moron!" My voice vibrated with that
Jaque POV . . "How is he?" I was waiting outside of our designated bedroom for a couple of hours when Witch Anya finally came out with some potion in her hands. "What are those bottles for?" I pointed at the two small plastic bottles that had the colors green and yellow in them. "For your first question, King Logan is getting better, but still unconscious. Your second, these are vials for taming Thorin and making him weak a little bit!" She walked past me and turned around after. "Jaque, you can see him now!" Witch Anya smiled. "Victoria is watching him!" I just nodded and stood up. I went straight to his bed, where he was lying unconscious. Victoria was just calmly watching him. "Logan, can you hear me?" I whispered in his ear. I heard him groan and was delighted to see that he was responding. He was so pale. Thorin had taken a lot of his energy earlier. "Logan!" I sat on the edge of his bed. Victoria was just watching my every move. "I am just here!" I whispered again. Wi
Jaque POV . . "Where are they? Are they still outside?" Witch Anya questioned upon appearing in front of us. Victoria was with her, just like her neutral expression, calm and cold. When the blast of something like thunder flashed on the door, creating an ear-deafening noise, the usual calm Victoria jumped on her post and gripped Witch Anya's arm tightly. "We have to stop them now. We are wasting too much time!" I yelled at them, making them all glance in my direction. When they saw how serious I was, even Logan, who was a high and mighty king, obeyed at once. "Let's go. You stay behind me, sweetheart!" He whispered as he placed himself in front of me, shielding me from the enormous fight outside. "Witches, form a small circle!" Orora commanded. I was stunned that none of the two protested at her demanding tone. As they began chanting a spell in Latin, Collen also shifted into an eagle and flew toward Alaric, who was shooting fireballs at Amira. On the other hand, Amira
Jaque POV . . Logan and I were still resting when shattering broken glasses made me jolt from my sleep. My hand involuntarily went onto my chest as I gasped loudly, making Logan crease his brows and his still-sleepy eyes open. "Logan, did you hear that?" I whispered as I glanced outside. That was indeed ear-deafening. "Looks like something is going on outside!" However, his attitude seemed not to be bothered by the noises at all. He wrapped his strong arm around me and pulled me back to lie down instead. "I'm still sleepy!" He also buried his face in the crook of my neck and sniffed my hair. Within just a split second, I could already hear his calm breathing. "But Logan, it looks like there is a huge fight going on!" I struggled to get up. His arm was like a metal, heavy enough to lift. "Logan, I need to check~ whoaaah!" I screamed in fright when I saw Alaric just crush on the bricks of the castle by the window where our room was. It seemed like somebody or something strong
Adam POV . . "Never mind!" She just also shrugged her question off. She turned around and was about to leave when she tapped my shoulder. I felt chills down my spine when her skin touched my shirt. "You appear to be anxious when I come closer, Alpha?!" I could hear a tease in her tone. I couldn't even afford to glance at her. "Of course not, my princess. I am not worthy to feel anything for you except my respect!" That was the truth, although I could hear Kylo snarling at me, disapproving of my choice of words. "Then why do I hear disapproval from your wolf?" With those words that she just released from her mouth, I was rooted in my spot. Kylo was also dumbfounded. Could she hear him? "I... I... don't know what you mean, Princess Amira!" I was stuttering. 'Pick up your brain on the ground, idiot!' I heard Kylo roar. Princess Amira suddenly burst out laughing. "Your wolf is funny, Alpha Adam. What's his name?!" Should I tell him? An idea popped up in my mind. "Make a g
