Serena POV . . "She is alive?!" I repeated it twice just to confirm if I heard it right. Jackson had just received a call from Draco that Logan had fallen unconscious. He has never gotten weak. He was always strong, and he... he... he saw Jaque in the flesh...Alive! "She is not alive, Serena. She met someone who had a similar look to Jaque. That's what Draco told me on the phone!" Jackson was in the middle of packing his stuff when I barged into his room and asked him a series of questions about Logan's trip to Middlesbrough. "Do not confuse those two, and what are you doing in our house, in our room?" He stopped folding his clothes for a while and stared at me. "I just missed my nephew, that's all. I was supposed to visit him in his room when I heard you talking to Draco on the phone. Jackson, why don't you want to tell me these kinds of stuff? Don't you trust me?" I had noticed since that b!tch died six years ago, Logan kept a distance from me. He still brought me to his p
Serena POV . . "Can you stop pacing back and forth, Jackson? We are flying for Pete's sake!" I crossed my arms over my chest as I scowled at my cousin, who kept watching me like I was a five-year-old kid. He then stopped and placed his hands on the cushioned headrest. He fixed his gaze on me and sternly spoke. "You better behave there, Serena. I still have no idea how you fooled my wife to approve of your coming to Middlesbrough, but I am watching you!" I sighed at his boring speech and glanced at the window. We were on a private plane going to Middlesbrough. How did I make that she-wolf witch agree? Easy peasy! I just told her that I was going to keep an eye on Miss Lily Swanson, whether she was indeed her dead best friend or not. If there was one she-wolf that she hated the most in Shadow Rock, that was me, and I was going to use that to my advantage. "Jackson, I am going to Middlesbrough for the same reason you have. Logan is also important in my life. Aside fro
Serena POV . . We still had an hour left, and I was already on the verge of jumping out of this car and just shifting. I was faster than this metal. However, that witch's words were ringing in my ears. She told me to wait for a coming surprise. I had no idea what that surprise was. I was edgy. I felt something unusual. We were now in the middle of the mountain forest, and something was lurking in the woods. I couldn't see it, but I could totally feel it. "Keep your eyes open wolves. Something is wrong with the trees. Their movements are strange!" Jackson uttered, giving us a warning. I noticed that, too. There was no wind, but the leaves were moving frantically. "We have to mind-link Alpha Adam since King Logan isn't stable now. Beta Jackson, there is a fog ahead of us!" Kyle uttered. Oh! No! I knew that fog too well. I held the headrest of the driver's seat and stared at the fog coming our way. "Jackson, you have to stop!" I calmly told my cousin. Even if I worked with
Serena POV . . "Oh! Alpha Adam Hayes, welcome. Thank you for coming to our little party!" The Witch laughed even more, but with just one loud growl from the Alpha, his pack members attacked the witches in a swift move. Orora was dumbstruck, and I could tell she didn't expect that. "You just made a huge mistake, Adam Hayes. You are going to regret this!" Orora was furious, but Adam's wolf just let out a menacing growl, showing Orora, she shouldn't have messed with him. He hastily lunged at her, putting Orora in a complete daze. The rest saw what happened, and even Aspen was furious that he jumped at one of the witches riding a broomstick and bit her shoulder right away. The witch cried in excruciating pain while the rest backed down. Orora was trying to get off Adam's claws, but his wolf was strong. She began enchanting a spell, but Kylo had just scratched her face with his sharp claws and bit her neck, giving Orora a lot of pain. One of the witches used her claws to scratch Ky
Jaque POV . . She was here. Did I hear it right? She had a special relationship with Logan. I shouldn't be affected, right? But what was this feeling now? Why did I feel like I wanted to unleash Shiva and just tear her into pieces? I was on my way to my father's room when Ayesha suddenly tapped my shoulder. "Hey! Do you know what happened? Why did Mr. Hayes and Draco leave earlier?" Her eyes were glistening for some juicy news. "Isn't it about picking up the new people?!" I asked, my eyes were squinting. I honestly didn't pay attention to that one, as I was busy talking to Logan in his sleep. "No! The new people, like you said!" She chuckled at my choice of words. "Had met an accident, and they left to help them!" "What accident? They seemed fine to me. " I strode to the east wing of this mansion where my father and his family were while Ayesha kept entertaining me with her juicy gossip. "That surprised me, too. But didn't you know about the whirlwind that happened in
Jaque POV . . "I think Mr. Knight is awake!" Adam whispered. He was just behind me, and his chest was poking my back. "Oh! I am sorry, Miss Swanson. I am too close. I am just happy that he is now awake. Don't you want to check on him, too?" He asked as I turned around, preparing to leave. "It's too late for that. I mean, I still have some stuff to do in the laboratory room. Besides, he is with his girlfriend, Mr. Hayes. I don't want to disturb them!" I walked in a quick stride, going downstairs. I ignored Adam's baffled look and just strode to the laboratory room near the west wing, where Andrew and some Blood Moon Pack members were resting. "Miss Swanson, wait a minute, please!" Again, Adam followed behind, rushing. "I want to help you with the stocks. I mean, I also have some knowledge about medicine. My friend, Jaque, taught me when we were still teens!" He smiled genuinely, making me think twice to be hostile to him. "Alright, since you insist. But if you make a mista
Jaque POV . . The tension in the air was strong. I held the headrest of the chair tight to keep me still. Logan's orbs were directed at me, flickering from sapphire to their wolf's eyes, glowing red. Thorin would like to surface. I could tell that even if the mate bond was long gone, Thorin still cherished Shiva, his mate... and the possessiveness of the wolf king was something no one could measure, not even an alpha. "But Logan, I sat here first!" Serena insisted. Everyone was now shifting their glances to us, from Logan to Serena to Adam, who was gently patting my back, and to me, who was shaking at the moment. "Mr. Knight, Miss Swanson wants to sit next to me for this dinner. We have some stuff to tackle!" Adam explained while his eyes never left Logan's gaze. They were both showing dominance. "Enough!" He roared. "That will be your last chance, Serena and Mr. Hayes. Disobey me once more, and you will face the consequences of your actions!" He was not bluffing at all. E
Jaque POV . . I walked to my father's room in big strides when I noticed familiar footsteps following me. As I was about to turn left, going to the east wing, someone suddenly grabbed my arm and pinned me to the wall at the corner of the mansion. "Ah!" I screamed, but even before I could utter another word, he already clamped my mouth. His hostile glare was stinging my eyes. I tried to free myself from his hold, but it was futile. He was five times stronger than me, and that was the fact. "Tell me the truth. Did something happen between the two of you at the lab?" He was enraged. His snarl was audible, and his breathing was brushing on my face. I creased my brows at him and aggressively took his hand off my mouth. "Let go of me, Mr. Knight. What do you think you are doing?" If he was on the verge of exploding, I was on the brink of flaring up. "My private life is none of your business!" He gritted his teeth while fixing his glare on me. "Don't make me regret something, w
Jaque POV . . "They did what?!" I exclaimed upon hearing the news about Logan and the three Alphas early in the morning. I almost spilled the warm milk I was drinking when I heard what Katrina said. "My queen, King Logan had summoned the three witches to create a portal from the three large packs to the werebear kingdom on the island!" Katrina shakingly answered. She feared me when I was upset. She said my wolf was scary. She was fidgeting her fingers while biting her lower lip. I could tell that there was more information from her update. "Go on, Katrina. What else have you heard?" I leaned on the backrest of my chair and sternly stared at her, giving her a warning not to leave any words. "Hmmp!" Now, she paced back and forth across from me. "News from the island saw King Logan and Queen Anicia enter a luxurious hotel!" My breathing began racing. My eyes were getting sharp. My lips were tightly zipped. I was on the brink of exploding again. "But let's not jump to conclu
Logan POV . . After Queen Anicia told us everything that we needed to know, we formulated a new plan. She guided the four warriors into the dungeon. She promised to help us as long as we kept her father safe after this. With this, we asked for reinforcement. We kept our phones active just in case we needed to contact the warriors of the three strongest packs in the kingdom. Well, I included the Blood Moon Pack for obvious reasons. They had the second strongest warriors next to Shadow Rock. I would have to pay the price after this, of course. Since their annoying Alpha demanded it. Once the new information about the deranged werebears was revealed, Jackson called the three Alphas at once. They were Alpha Adam, Alpha Dylan from the Nightwalker Pack, and Alpha Cillian from the Moonshade Pack. With the help of the three portals made by the three witches in the kingdom, they came here without a fuss. They brought their best then warriors in their packs. I was on the verge of br
King Bodvar . . "He is probably having a good time with Anicia now, right Henry?" A smirk formed at the corner of my lips. "Make sure the cameras are working well, and don't forget to cover my wife's face!" "We got it, our king. Protect the queen while we profit from her!" Henry uttered. He always got the objective of our hidden job. "I have been wondering why King Logan has changed his mind to stay at the palace!" Henry rubbed his chin while creasing his brows. "Don't you see their objective, Henry? They are here for the deranged werebears. I am pretty sure Anicia would never spill a single bean. She knows how I explode, and she loves her father so much. That old bastard is the only family she has. If they are going to do the deeds in the palace, they know that their secrets aren't safe!" I clenched the armrest of my throne and lifted my head. The feast continued, and the council was still here, but Anicia's father had already left a long time ago. Henry and the counc
Logan POV . . "The Presidential Suite it is. Aren't you going to finish the feast, King Logan?" King Bodvar asked. "I am very much eager to be with your wife, King Bodvar. So, if I may. I would like to rest now!" I told her as I gripped Queen Anicia's hand, making her whimper. "Huh! The queen of the werebear kingdom is yours for tonight. Let me know in the morning at breakfast if she satisfies you!" He even winked. He didn't care if his first wife was being raped by anyone. I glanced at the queen, whose eyes were still pleading. I had to do something before it would be too late. I turned around and stared deeply at her. I glanced at my beta, and he secretly nodded. He spoke to the king about the food to distract his attention. "You understand what I signed earlier?" I whispered as I moved my lips closer to her ears, pretending I was kissing her. "Yes, I do. Let's go before he changes his mind!" She replied. Without further ado, we exited the banquet and left the kin
Logan POV . . We had been wasting time for a couple of hours. Every time I would open the topic about the deranged werebears, he would start a new story about his kingdom. He would command his wives to entertain us. He would always find ways to channel the main reason why we came here into another conversation. Just like now, he began speaking about how the werebear kingdom had started. "My grandfather was ruthless!" He let out a crazy laugh, enough to get my ears twitch. "He invaded four small werebear tribes and began a small kingdom. He made those tribe chiefs his advisers!" "Impressive. Making your enemies your advisers!" Beta Jackson chuckled. "He was vicious!" Henry butted in with a sneer. "Indeed. The vicious werebear king of all. Those tribe chiefs couldn't do anything. They were all under his feet. Even their wives were offered to him, and their sons became the warriors of his kingdom!" "Hmm!" I just reacted. That reminded me of someone. My own grandfather. He cre
Logan POV . . We were on our way to the werebear kingdom. It was reported that King Bodvar's grandfather bought the whole island to build his kingdom, and now, as time passed by, it was progressing. Upon arriving at the airport, my Beta and five warriors took our luggage and strode straight to the exit. The Immigration checked our belongings. One of the officers sternly stared at us while opening the zipper of our luggage. This officer was not human. He was a~ "You must be King Logan from the Shadow Rock!" He whispered, making me gaze deeply at him. "I am Henry, assistant of King Bodvar. I am here to pick you!" He uttered as he raised his hand, and five brawny and bearded men appeared at the door. "I see!" We let them carry our stuff and followed them closely. The airport was crowded, not because of the passengers waiting for their flight, but because these humans couldn't stop staring at us. We were like celebrities being surrounded by our fans. It was a good thing I was we
King Bodvar POV . . At the Werebear Kingdom... "My king!" The door slid open in my office. I lifted my head and closed the book I was reading. I creased my brows at my assistant and slammed the book on my mahogany desk. "Forgive me, my king. This is a letter from the Rogue King, King Logan Knight!" "What's the matter?!" I took the envelope from my assistant and read his letter. It has his stamp marked in red at the bottom of the paper. The logo of his kingdom was on top, along with its name, Shadow Rock. "Hmm! Prepare a feast. We will have important visitors tomorrow night. The mighty Rogue King and his Beta are coming to our kingdom!" I placed King Logan's letter in the drawer and got up. I fixed the collar of my suit before patting Henry's shoulder. He had been my assistant for years and the only one I could trust. "My king, what is the purpose of his visit?" He asked, curious. I walked past him and stood straight near the glass wall, watching the sunshine. My building
Logan POV . . "I want to buy their new branded phones. I have read on their news that they have new models of phones every day. And their sauna there is wonderful. Logan, can we go tomorrow? I will ask Katrina to pack our stuff in a jiffy. She will also go with us, right? Witch Anya, too!" She was thrilled that she couldn't stop talking. She paced back and forth with excitement. "Can Jackson and Kelly go with us? Oh no! They can't, right? Jackson has some work to do here while we are gone. But Kelly and Jack can go, right? A hundred percent they can go with us!" I had to stop her from imagining wild. "Sweetheart, you have to stop there for a while and think about this through!" "But why? The kingdom has three private planes. There is no problem, just in case. We can bring five to ten omegas and warriors with us. There won't be any danger, Logan!" What was going on with my mate? She suddenly changed, I thought. "I know. You are right. Let's go home first and talk about th
Logan POV . . I was irked in pain while the royal doctor healed my wounds. I had a wolf, but Shiva had done so much that even my healing ability couldn't heal them. "Sh!t! That's hurt!" "Forgive me, King Logan, but your wounds are deep!" The royal doctor uttered. "The queen is scary!" He added. Our imperial physician had been with us since my grandfather's reign, and he was like a grandfather to me. He was one of the wolves who could comment like this about Jaque. "Doctor, you have no idea!" I told him. When she was biting me earlier, I felt she also bit my clavicle. "Could you also check my bones?" The doctor coughed hard at my question. "Why?" I sternly asked him. "Yes, you are right on that one. Your clavicle is broken. We have to put on a bandage and you must wear this for a while!" He showed me the sling, and my eyes widened. "You have to wear this until it is completely healed. And no sparring or sports for you!" "F*ck! I have never worn any of that in my entire
