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
Logan POV . . If only I could tell her, I already knew her secret. If only I could tell her that she had revealed everything when she was drunk. The only missing was the shifting part. If only! However, I didn't want to hasten the time. It was now a great chance to see her not buried six feet under. It was the best gift I had ever received in my life. There was just one big problem here. That Alpha Mutt! I saw what he did. He was enjoying his time making fun of me in the presence of that human girl at dinner. He knew I couldn't just unleash Thorin in front of Jaque's friend. He was taking advantage of my patience. But his celebration would be over soon. "My king, you called me!" Indeed. I called you, mutt. "Do you need anything?" I was sitting on my throne inside the library near the fireplace. In my right hand was a glass of brandy. This mutt was standing behind me. I couldn't see his face, but I could feel his aversion. I let him wait for a while. I gradually sip
Adam POV . . King or not, he had no right to impose his position on me when it came to her. Whether she was Jaque in the past or Lily in the present, I would do everything to correct the mistake I had made to her. I thought Goddess Diana gave me this second chance to make things right. Six years ago, when the news of her sudden death spread like wildfire in the werewolf clan, I made the final decision to end my mistake and regrets. Under the full moon, in the forest, I talked to my future Luna, my chosen mate. She was ecstatic that she even brought a secret crew to film whatever the f*cking things she thought I would be doing. She thought I was going to propose. These werewolves who hid behind the giant plants even asked an expert, the pack's doctor, to coat their scents from me. Jasmine planned everything well. She planned for everything except for one thing. She didn't see that coming. That night, under the embrace of the full moon, her rejection from me as her chosen
Jaque POV . . These as$holes had gotten the nerve to create trouble, totally ignoring the presence of a human in their place. They had high positions and power in the kingdom and their pack, but they also had tiny brains. I was in the forest at that time. Shiva was supposed to run and just had the best night she could ever have. I had never unleashed her for weeks now. As a she-wolf, it would not be good for both of us if I would not let her out at least once in a while. We were both having a wonderful night. Shiva's snout was slapping the leaves blocking her path as she ran at full speed. The winter breeze was freezing, but my wolf embraced the cold. She missed this. She loved this. She wanted to do this over and over again. I fully remembered well that she was thrilled, jumping on the rocks and digging the soil with her paws. Shiva even shouted in her wolf language, 'This is what we call life. Full of freedom. Full of fun!' I laughed with her joy. Supported her freed
Jaque POV . . I needed some rest, both physically and mentally. I was exhausted and worn out. I was in my room at the moment, and Ayesha went out somewhere. She said it was something important and hadn't come back yet. I glanced at my phone on the side table and pondered if should I call Witch Anya or just mind-link her. It had been five days and four nights since the last time I had seen her. I missed her a lot already. Ahhh! I had decided. I took my phone and looked for her number. "Hello!" Her crisp, joyful voice emerged on the other line. "Mom, I miss you!" I told her. My tone was like a little girl who needed the embrace of her mother. This might be the effect of losing a mom at an early age. I sniffed a little, too. "Honey, are you alright?" Witch Anya suddenly got worried. "Hmm!" I shortly replied. I started narrating everything that happened since I left, and she was cracking up with laughter when I told her about the two retarded jerks. "They must have b
Amira POV . . Was Victoria's vision true? She was the high witch and seldom made mistakes in her vision. Only once in a blue moon, her vision wasn't accurate. Now, she said our sister, who was dead for a year, had come back to life! "Victoria, are you sure about that?" I asked as I glanced at Shiva, who was still trying to decipher Victoria's words. "Yes, last night. She appeared in my dreams. She said she was coming here. The moon goddess gave her a second chance to live!" Victoria would never lie. Among all the witches I knew, she was the one who never dared to tell the truth. "That must be the reason why King Arabic Reubus wanted to meet all of us!" Shiva finally spoke. "Maybe the moon goddess rewarded her for her sacrifice!" It could be. "If Orora is indeed alive, then let's celebrate!" Our sister was back, who would not be glad. "Shiva, tell your omegas to change the colors of your curtains!" "Got it!" Shiva immediately mind-linked her twenty omegas to change th
Orora POV . . The first thing I did was destroy the glass coffin. I ran to the two-door entrance and greeted the soldiers, guarding the royal tomb. "My...My queen?!" One of the soldiers exclaimed in both shock and horror. "Good day, soldiers!" I told them, and one soldier couldn't control his emotions that he fainted at once. "I am alive. Don't worry. I am not a ghost!" These dragons were scared of ghosts?! That was the first time. I chuckled when the soldier remained speechless. However, when I began ambling, he also got terrified and ran away while screaming. To tell they were guarding the royal tomb. I ran with him, trying to play with him for a while. When he reached the library, he knocked on the high and wide door. "My king, my king!" He screamed in fear. What was the matter with this warrior? Was he that scared of me? When the door swung open, I held my breath and hid in the corner. "It is in the middle of the night, warrior. What are you screaming for? Aren't yo
Orora POV . . After one year... I had been staying in the realm for a year now since my own mother, the moon goddess, took me back from Earth. I had been watching my siblings having a wonderful family. King Logan and Shiva were now blessed with two children. Kairen and Aurora. My nephew was now more than one year old, and I could see a lot of Thorin's behavior from him. He got Thorin's temperamental attitude and King Logan's authoritativeness. He was chaos in the palace. It was a good thing that he also had Shiva's human's patience and gentleness. Kairen was a mixture of his parents. For sure, someday, he would be a ruthless but great king just like his father. As for Aurora, my heart faltered upon hearing her name when she was baptized. Shiva and King Logan spoke about it. They would name their daughter under my name, Orora. My niece. My beautiful niece. She was learning magic on her own at an early age. She could talk to animals like her uncle Collen and could summon the
Amira POV . . "Thank goddess, it is finished!" I couldn't help but exclaim in gladness. Adam gave me a tight hug and kissed my temples. "Finally, we can go home safe and sound!" "No more fears!" Adam added before he sealed my lips with his kiss. We were just interrupted when we heard a loud thud. When we glanced around, we saw King Arabic Reubus landing in his human form. Adam immediately covered my eyes with his palms, and for sure, King Logan did the same thing to Shiva. I could tell, for King Logan even scolded the Dragon king. "Just a reminder, dragon king. You just don't shift in front of our women, okay. You can use that oak tree to ask for some covers!" "My bad. I am just excited to hug my queen!" The king of the dragons uttered. "I am covered now. Thank you, Beta!" That could have been Beta Jackson. He was the designated Beta to carry heavy loads today. "No problem!" Indeed, it was Beta Jackson who gave him clothes. When we opened our eyes, we saw him kissing
Alectrona POV . . 'You can never defeat me!' These five descendants circled me. The golden dragon in front of me, the vampire prince and the princess of the sea on both sides, and the witch and the she-wolf behind me. That jet-black dragon was looming over us and the packs of wolves on my claws. I was surrounded. I could feel my end, but I didn't show them fear. I was one of the goddesses. I was their eldest and well-respected. Until that moon goddess Diana created life on Earth and she got everyone's reverence. 'Guys, we know what to do?' Shiva, the one who defeated me in the realm, spoke at the back of my head. I kept turning around, acting vigilant for any move that they were going to make. 'You are doing great, Jaque, my dearest!' Thorin, my first choice of a descendant but who also betrayed me was here. I growled at him while looking down on the ground. He growled back in his wolf form. The five alphas surrounded me on the ground. 'You have no way to escape now, Al
Alectrona POV . . 'What the heck is going on outside? Where is Dameron? What keeps him waiting? All I told him was to rain my blood so these wolves would be infected. What's keeping him staying longer outside?!' I was acting insane, talking to myself here in the cave. Since all my warriors and servants were killed by these creatures of my sister, I was acting weird. I talked to the walls to keep me sane. Sometimes Dameron would keep me company, but he was the only one who could carry out my tasks now. All of them were dead. However, if these wolves were affected by my blood, I was going to have a new army. How wonderful would that be if Delmar was their leader? Huh?! I couldn't wait any longer. I stood up from this disgusting temporary throne of mine and nonchalantly got out from the barrier I made. "Dameron, have you finished the task I ordered you to do?" I questioned without glancing ahead. I was familiar with this cave, and even if I closed my eyes, I knew the safe pat
Dameron POV . . I went back to the cave in my bird form and updated everything to my dark goddess. I knew for sure that she would reward me greatly again. Even if it was just the two of us now, goddess Alectrona had never felt the scarcity of warriors. She always found some pets to control with. As I reached the doorway, I called her name. "Goddess Alectrona, I built the trap for those stupid wolves. Their king can never enter. We can make them our pets now!" "Great, Dameron. That is great!" Now that they were under my control, no one can stop me. Come forward, Dameron. This is your last task for today. Shift into an eagle and fly high in the dark sky. Take this and pour it to them. Make sure they will feel the rain of my blood!" She reached for me a big bucket with red liquid inside. "My goddess, this is your blood?!" I asked, confirming. It smelled different. I couldn't identify it. "Yes, Dameron. Once my blood pours upon their bodies, they are now under my control. Th
Dameron POV . . These maggots thought they had killed the reptilian king. They have no idea that goddess Alectrona could bring him back to life. All she had to do was snap her fingers and bring his ashes together. I had been watching them from afar. That black dragon in the sky was now their ally. All because he was mated to that witch. That witch should die. I willed the snake man to bite her and transferred his venom to her so she could die. My first mission was almost finished. That witch would face death in a few moments. No one could save her. The snake that bit her was now in ash. No one could cure her except that snake. Her death could make the dragon king vulnerable. It could lead to his losing in the war. I was hiding here on top of the branch of a tall tree, watching them below. Until I couldn't see them disappear, I could not go back to the cave where the reptilian king hid that high witch. I had to stay here to watch. It was a good thing that I was a shape-shif
'The... The Dragon King!' This reptilian king was still in denial that the one taking a shape in the sky was the dragon king. 'Dragons are extinct. Goddess Alectrona told me herself that they were her slaves in the dark world. You are lying!' So, he knew about the dark world. "Your dark goddess lied to you. The dark world is the lost kingdom of Diaphora, and that's the dragon kingdom. So, if I were you, better release us now and apologize if you don't want your kind to perish. Now that I am still merciful!" I was losing consciousness. 'Shiva, I am poisoned with venom. I am losing my strength!' I mind-linked my sister, and she responded right away. 'I will convey your message to them. Don't worry. Hang in there. By the way, your dragon mate is cool!' I could imagine Shiva smiling in satisfaction at the moment. When we heard a growl from the rogue king and more growls followed from the alphas, including Alpha Adam. However, I also felt the press of his claws from my back, pinning m
