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 . . "It's wonderful to see you again, My King!" She jeered at him, and Logan just laughed at her. He even lifted her from the ground and twirled her around. "Shvt up! I missed you, too!" He replied, joking. "So, how was your trip around the world?" He asked. I was just sitting at the table waiting for him to introduce me to her. "Oh! Terrific! I wish you were with me. It's more fun if we took the cruise together!" Earlier, her voice was amazing, but now, it's irritating. I just wanted to slap her hands that were hanging on his shoulders. My fists clenched tight while staring at them. If Logan would still forgets that I was here, I might have just walked out. Until it was Serena who noticed me. "Oh! Logan, how rude you are!" She slapped Logan's arm. "You forgot to introduce me to your mate!" She added as she walked past him and walked toward me. I got up right away. Goddess, she was taller than me in flats, how much more in heels. I felt tiny while staring at her
Orora POV . . The beam of light was too much that it could blind our sight. We had to cover our eyes with our hands while watching how the transfiguration of the king happened. He floated in the air while his head was lifted in the sky. The light cracked the strong ancient bricks and shook the towering castle. We heard Collen, who was still in his dragon form, growl. Then his voice at the back of our heads came next. 'Have you found the dragon king? Hurry up! Something is happening here!' 'Yes, we have found him. He is still unconscious, but he got his wings back!' King Logan responded. However, upon replying to Collen, King Arabic Reubus opened his eyes, which were still in full while. But his looks were like that of a god. The sackcloth was gone. He was now wearing a white pair of pants but still topless and barefooted. He gradually landed in front of us, staring at us with such curiosity. "King Arabic Reubus, welcome back!" King Logan greeted with a chest fist, which onl
Orora POV . . "Answer my question, Witch? Where is she now? What did you do to her?" Of course, he was referring to his late wife, the former queen of the dragons. His grip on my neck was getting tighter, and I was now being choked. I could feel the air passage in my lungs restrained, making me gag. "K-king Arabic Reubus, Queen Latifia is just there. She does not go anywhere!" For him to feel that his wife was living in his memory, I never let him feel that way. I never used the past term to make him know that his queen and mate had been dead for millenniums. The king of dragons glanced into the tomb. His eyes glistened when he saw his wife's tomb was indeed on the spot where it was earlier. It just moved to the dark corner for a few minutes, but also came back to where it was. "How? How could that be? I saw it. I saw it was gone!" He shook his head as he blinked his eyes. He was still gripping my neck while I was lifted in the air. Now, I had to hit his chest with my f
Orora POV . . I had to speak with him before it was too late. If he was King Arabic Reubus, then he needed my help. He needed my magic to get his kingdom back. I levitated until I reached the end of the castle, but he was not there. I focused as I closed my eyes and took only one object in my mind. Imagine I was the king and wanted to get my wings back. Where would I go? "The underground!" I whispered to myself. Yes, if the wings were his source of power, Alectrona would keep them away from him. She would make sure that the king would never find them. "Underground, where are you?" I was like a crazy woman conversing with myself. Then I heard a loud thud from my right. I glanced around and saw nothing except for a brick wall and a huge shelf with books. "Who would put a shelf here? This wasn't even a library?" I shook my head and ticked my tongue. I was about to turn around and leave when I heard another noise from the same spot. I levitated to my right and observed the wall.
King Logan POV . . If he was here, then I had to find him. I could guess he could still remember me, if ever. The kingdom was chaos. The shape-shifters shifted into different creatures. Some mimicked Collen as a dragon, but Witch Orora had seen that coming. She put a spell on Collen. They could not copy his image. If they tried hard, they would just end their life. I strode to the entrance of the castle, watching the four warriors on alert. "You!" One of the warriors stepped forward with his sword in his hand. "Glad you remember me!" I sneered as I ambled toward them. "We'll never forget you, Thorin. You are a traitor, and you killed one of us!" The other warrior responded. He also prepared to attack as he swung his sword at me. However, I had just gripped the blade, ignoring the blood spouting on my palm. "What are you doing?" He asked and was shocked when he saw me not affected by the wound. "You are not hurt!" He added. The rest of the warriors immediately surrounded m
Amira POV . . "We are here!" Orora uttered. We glanced down and saw nothing but dark clouds. "We can't see anything. Only these dark clouds!" I told my sister. "Orora, can you do something?" I asked her, and she shook her head. "I can't make these clouds clear, but Collen can!" She made her voice louder so we could hear her. I glanced at the king and noticed his quietness. He might be thinking about Orora's words earlier. "Collen, can you make our path clear?" Orora asked one more time, and Collen, as the golden dragon, let out a menacing growl before he blasted a huge fire, dispersing these dark clouds. When the sky was as clear as immaculate, we looked down and almost fell on Collen's scales when we saw the lost kingdom of Diaphora. I knew it was the lost kingdom of the dragons. The old twin castles were still there, standing magnificently and towering over the remaining towers. "So, it's true!" I uttered. Although my voice was covered by Collen's wings' flapping, I
Amira POV . . I couldn't wait to see Alpha Adam Hayes, and hopefully, we weren't late yet. I had this anxious feeling that something was not right. I was waiting for Orora and King Logan inside this stinky room. I rummaged the room with my eyes and grimaced my nose when the strong smell of a cat hit my nostrils. I couldn't help but rub my nose with my fingers. King Logan and Orora were giving the two betas and the alphas of every pack important instructions for the coming of Alectrona. The kingdom needed to be prepared in advance. They made the dome safer, added more protective layers and spells, and renovated it wider. There were also some stretcher beds for the elderly and the kids. Rooms for pregnant women and their babies were built along with their basic needs. Some healers like Demeter and the imperial physicians were also on alert, preparing herbs, medicines, and some potions to fight wolfsbane and silver, just in case. As for my kingdom under the seven seas, Ayesha
Amira POV . . (The same time of event with the sparring) "You are lucky we didn't kill you right away!" Orora pointed her wand at Delmar, who at the moment was now in the dungeon in the Shadow Rock Palace. The dungeon was located in the 3rd basement of the king and queen's luxurious home. The other day, we made a trap for Delmar. I called him to meet me in the woods. Delmar was very cautious since the girls found his real identity. However, due to my behavior with him, I still got his trust. He obeyed at once when I said that I wanted to meet him because it had been a while since the last time we saw each other. "What's the meaning of this?" Delmar's furious gaze was fixed on me, ignoring Orora's words and Shiva's presence. "Amira, why did you lock me up here? What have I done this time?" He glanced at my sisters, who were just sneering at him. Orora chained him in both hands. The metal chains were attached strongly to the wall. How did we take him here? Easy! I ma
Adam POV . . We both had wounds and bruises everywhere. Swollen eyes and bloody noses and mouths, but the more we prolonged this fight, the more we felt energized. I guessed no one wanted to yield. The cheering was getting louder as the training field was getting messier. "Come on! We want more!" The crowd roared. "Is that the best you both got? We've seen those moves before. We want a fresh fight!" The crowd was uncontrollable. As my sight caught Dameron's sneer while gazing at me, my wolf prepared for his next move. It looked like Kylo had already foretold Dameron's moves. "You heard them, Delmar. They are bored!" Dameron snickered. "It is time to finish this!" He stepped back and forth and then breathed deeply. "Huh! Better yield. You will never win!" 'He is exhausted. He can't take another round. He is just pretending to be strong, but his energy is draining!" Kylo's voice sprang up at the back of my head. Although he had been helping me since this fight had begun, t
Adam POV . . I kept in mind what Reuben just said about Dameron. As I was walking to the training field, I heard the groans and screams of the warriors sparring together. Most of Alectrona's warriors were shape-shifters. According to Reuben, she liked the shape-shifters more than any creatures in our world. Well, of course, since they had more advantages than us. Once they shape-shifted, all of the characteristics of the creature they mimicked, including their powers, were adopted by them. I immediately saw Dameron outside of the circle, staring sternly at the two fighters fighting. Their bodies were already covered by blood, but they didn't stop. What kind of sparring was this? Fight to death?! Maybe Dameron smelled my presence, so he glanced in my direction. He smirked upon seeing me and stood up from his chair. "Quiet!" He roared, and the whole training field fell into silence. "Our main guest is here!" His smirk was getting on my nerves. "Everyone, just in case you don'
