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
Adam POV . . 'Jaque?!' I repeated in my thoughts. Her name came out with bitterness and longing in my mouth. How long have I been missing her? Five long years. She was declared dead in the whole kingdom even before I could go back to Blood Moon Pack. I was in another country at that time, doing my alpha duty and making alliances with other packs. "Alpha Adam, we are telling the truth here. Jaque is alive, and she...!" Lauren stuttered and couldn't get the exact terms on her tongue. "She has changed!" Her next words came out in a whisper like she doubted her own judgment. "We've come all the way to bring home your husband and your family driver, Lauren!" I roared, annoyed at slandering Jaque's name even in her death. She was gone and not coming back. "Do not slander somebody who is already resting in goddess Diana's care!" Andrew held my hand, but I brushed it off. "Alpha, I also saw here!" I glared at my beta at once. Lauren bowed her head in submission while Jasmine hi
Victoria POV . . Honestly, the way he protected me earlier was making my heart flutter. The way he stared at me could make me melt. But the way he spoke to me could really make my head explode into fury. What was this feeling I had for him? Could he really be my mate? Could this be love? What? Love?! No! No way! There was no way that I would fall for someone I used to play tiger ride or wolf ride just last week. There was just no way! "Hey, what are you thinking?" Orora nudged my arms. "You've been muttering something, but we couldn't understand everything that you're mumbling!" I was muttering?! I didn't even realize that I was doing that. "Nothing! I was just thinking about our situation now!" I glanced at Collen, who was standing near the bars. He was observing the guards outside. At the moment, we were in the dungeon. This place was stinky, dirty, and smelly. It looked like some creatures were left here rotten to die. There were rats and bugs everywhere. I
Orora POV . . 'Alaric, Amira! Come to the land of the reptilia. Collen has shifted to his dragon form to save Victoria!' I didn't think twice about telling them about Victoria anymore. They had to come here quickly. Collen was just blowing fire to the vast forest. The reptilians ran and tried to escape the heat and flames, but a few of them had been burned alive. 'What the heck is Victoria doing there? We don't have any problems with the reptilians. Do not touch them, and they won't touch us!' Alaric explained. Everyone knew that the reptilians were dangerous creatures in nature brought to Earth by their reptilian god, Talon. However, they were isolated from other creatures. They had their own lands and own life. They didn't mingle with the other creatures even if they were just separated by forest borders. 'You have to tame Collen. We're on our way!' Amira butted in. 'Goodness, Orora. Talk to Collen now. That wildfire can reach the human lands and the other werewolf packs
Orora POV . . Sometimes, Alaric was really annoying. But I could understand him. All he wanted was for his siblings to be happy and safe. Now, he was using his authority again. However, how could I tell my mate about this? My siblings and I had just talked about my decision to live in Ruben's kingdom, and he exclaimed and refused. He demanded the dragon king's presence in his castle in Yorkshire along with the clans of vampires. "A penny for your thoughts?!" That was Shiva, almost giving me a heart attack. I pressed my chest while giving her a glare. "Wow! The most powerful witch is startled?! Unbelievable!" Shiva shook her head while smiling. "Don't ever do that to me again, Shiva. It isn't funny!" I told her while staring at her belly bump. "How's my niece doing?" I asked as I touched her belly. The baby kicked right away. "I think she already answered my question!" I smiled at her. "Hmm! She is as strong as her aunts. What can I say? By the way, Logan told me about yo
Amira POV . . "There are lots of problems to solve not just here in the Atlantis, but also in the woods. First, we have to focus on the problems here!" "We will do as you command, Princess Amira. Commander-general Amet, what do you think?" One of the leaders of the Seven Seas asked my well-trusted warrior, who I could tell was pissing my mate off in silence. "Hrmm! Before I draw out my opinion about this, I would like to know the future prince's opinion first!" He was deliberately testing Adam's wit. I was aware that Amet had never had a good relationship with Delmar in the past. However, Adam had no idea about that. He couldn't remember Amet as one of his best warriors before. "I agree with your Princess, Commander-general Amet!" Adam made his voice louder. "The Atlanteans are for the water. Therefore, before you deal with the problems on the land, you better fix the problems in your own surroundings first!" He was right. "Since, Amira!" He intertwined his hand with my
Collen POV . . "Hrm! Collen, Victoria is fine now. She said she is still feeling dizzy, but she can already walk normally!" Orora uttered while smiling teasingly at me. 'I'm the one who can't walk normally!' I told myself while my orbs were at her. "I can see that!" My mind was gentle to her, but my mouth was the one that was not cooperating. I saw her twitch her lips upon hearing my aggressive tone. "Victoria, you scared us in the camp. I am glad that you are okay now!" Beta Jackson tapped my arm before ambling towards the grown-up Victoria. "You've changed physically!" He also left a handsome smile, making my heart race in anger. "Thanks, Beta Jackson. I am not used to my new look yet. But I promise to work hard on this!" Goddess, her voice had changed, too. She was indeed a lady now. "Collen, aren't you going to greet Victoria?" Orora called, signaling me to come forward. "Hello, Victoria. I am glad that you are okay now!" I simply couldn't produce any long sent
Collen POV . . "Are you sure about that? Beta Jackson, you are making a huge accusation if that is not true!" I exclaimed. My heart raced faster than usual. I was still gasping for breath when Orora came back, shaking her head. "It is the truth, Collen. I saw it with my eyes. She is now as tall as ~" "Don't say it!" I stopped him right away. "I don't want to hear it!" I whispered. I wanted to calm down, but my mind was foggy at the moment. "Orora, what have you found out?" "I can't find any answers to this phenomenon, Collen. I'm sorry. For now, we have to speak with her. Hopefully, she will allow us!" She reached for my hand and smiled. "I'm sure your friend will be fine, Collen!" I could see the genuine words in her tone. "I hope so. I don't want to see her growing up. I can't handle it just yet!" I told her while looking at the room where Victoria was. "What did you say? She was growing up?!" Orora asked, confirming. "Victoria was miraculously growing up?!" She ex
Collen POV . . What was this I felt at the moment? I was uneasy and somewhat unsettled. I was thinking of someone, and I hadn't seen her for a long time. I glanced around the wide garden in the palace and wandered for a while. My golden orbs flickered upon seeing a bee buzzing on top of this lavender flower. "Lavender!" I burst out in a whisper. I could recall someone who loved lavender so much. "Victoria!" The six-year-old high witch. No! A thousand-year-old high witch but was stuck in the body of her six-year-old self. "Hey, Collen!" Orora came in. "Have you seen Shiva? Or have you seen Amira come by?" She asked. Her face looked plastered. Her hands were sweating while they were clenched. Her eyes were glancing around. "I haven't. Why?" I asked as I observed her. She was anxious, but why? "Do you want to talk to them?" "Yes, I want to say something to you all. I already called Alaric. He is on his way!" If my thoughts were occupied by Victoria, Orora was also som
Adam POV . . I was woken up by the loud ringing of the alarm outside or whatever that squeaking sound that was irritating my ears. My eyes squinted as I spread my arm to my side and felt a soft familiar skin. She was still in a deep sleep and goddess; she looked gorgeous and at peace. I just couldn't wake this goddess-like beauty beside me. I gently touched her soft pinkish cheek while staring deeply at her long and kneeling eyelashes. "What kind of kindness or courageous act have I done to have you as my reward?" I whispered. However, the loud ringing or sound outside was making my ears twitch. I creased my brows at the door and then shifted them to the sleeping beauty, who seemed to not be bothered by that annoying squeaking sound. I kissed her cheek, and she moaned. "Are you awake?" She whispered, smiling at me. I kissed her lips this time, and she wrapped her arms around my neck. "I have been watching you, my love!" I whispered. "That sound woke me up!" I added, a li
Amira POV . . "That was great!" He placed a soft kiss on my lips before he rolled over, lying next to me. He lay sideward and brushed the strands of my hair, making me moan. "My love, when are we going to make our relationship final? I can't wait to announce to everyone that you are my Luna and you only belong to me. You already have my mark!" Adam whined like a kid. Seriously, when did he learn to be cute? I also lay sideward, facing him. "When everything is settled. When there's no more Alectrona on our way. When the peace in every kingdom is reached!" I gently told my mate, touching the little hair growing on his jaw. "Adam, your stubble beard looks good on you!" I told him while my fingers played on its jawline. "Do you like it?" He asked, placing a soft kiss on my forehead. "If you want, I can grow my hair!" "No! I want it this way. Don't grow it into a beard. You look much more handsome this way. Also, I like its roughness!" I smiled at him as I moved closer. The du
