Adam POV . . There was something going on in this place. Something very unusual, especially in this mansion. The king's beta and his chosen warriors weren't saying anything, but I could feel it. Even Andrew, I could tell that he was hiding something from me. Someday, I would make my friend talk. Whatever that was that he was hiding from me must be very important. "Alpha, my dad wants to speak with you about something!" Suddenly, Jasmine's voice sprang behind me. I was in the lounge at the moment, looking at the scenery outside through the high glass walls. I was in deep thought about my next move. Now that former beta Louis and Pablo were both all right, we all could go back to Blood Moon Pack. However, upon thinking of leaving the place, I felt a pang of pain. I wished I could bring Lily with me. Just the thought of being away from her made me miss her a lot already. "What is it about?" I asked while glancing over my shoulder. My tone was as nonchalant and cold as before.
Adam POV . . I was preparing for my meeting with that woman whom Louis mentioned when Andrew entered my room. I glanced at him in the mirror while I fixed the collar of my navy blue long sleeves. "Are you sure you don't need me?" Andrew was adamant for me to leave without him. "I can help you better than Marco!" He uttered while taking off my suit from the hanger. "You are already helping me by taking care of the pack, Beta. I can't trust anybody in the pack who has the strength and loyalty to lead Blood Moon. If this meeting isn't successful, you are the first in line to take my post!" I took the suit from him and met his serious look. "Don't say that. The more I want to go with you. You are coming back here alive and kicking Alpha. Now that you have the ultimate reason to live, then stay alive. Not just for the pack, but for yourself as well!" If there was someone who could scold me in the pack except for my parents, that would be my best friend. I patted his shoulde
Adam POV . . She was one of the goddess's descendants. She, who was so simple, so plain, and so naive, was one of the most powerful creatures in the world. How on earth had I not seen this coming? Well, no one hadn't seen it coming. Not even the king, I guessed. What Princess Amira told me was still fresh in my mind. It was stuck like glue at the back of my head. I shvt my eyes, recalling that once in a blue moon meeting with a nymph. Our kinds thought they were gone, but no! They were just living quietly in a secluded world, nevertheless, they were updated with everything that was happening in the modern world. "Alpha, are you alright?" Delta Marco called me. He was staring at me in the rearview mirror. "I am fine, Marco. Don't worry. I am just resting!" If recalling the scenes earlier was a kind of rest, then I could say I was resting. I continued to close my eyes as the pictures from earlier formed like slideshows in my thoughts. "Mistress Amira!" I repeated in a wh
Logan POV . . "Where could they have gone?" Jackson told me that the Blood Moon Pack Alpha mutt and his Delta left the mansion before sunset, and it was now almost midnight. "He said to look around, but I doubt that. If he wants to look around, then he should have brought not just his Delta but also one of his pack members. He also lied about Andrew having a bonding time with me. My brother-in-law never said that to him!" Jackson was as pissed as I was. What we hated the most was being kept in the dark and, worst, people lying on our faces. "How do you know Andrew was lying!?" I asked while taking some of my clothes off the closet. I had a heart-to-heart talk with Jaque earlier, and whether we liked it or not, I had to do this. "When Andrew lies, he twitches his lips and can't see the person in front of him eye to eye. That's what he did to me today. When I asked him if he talked to his Alpha about us going out tonight, he stuttered and couldn't look me in the eye!" "Th
Logan POV . . "She's gone!" I whispered to her as I began pecking the crook of her neck. "Hmm, you smell good, sweetheart!" She giggled as my lips touched her skin. "Did you miss me? Hmm?!" "What do you think, my king?" She whispered back between her moans. "Mom left the house to give us some privacy now. I saw her tiptoed at the back door!" She announced in whispers, making me growl, and carried her to the second floor. Our lips were still attached as I let my instinct and my wolf senses lead the way. Although Thorin had been dormant since this morning after her attack on our mate, I still had the wolf's senses raging in me. I opened a random room, and the smell of herbs and liquid potions assaulted my nostrils, making my nose cringe. I detached my lips from her lips, and her brows creased at the confusion. "Is this your room?" I asked as I glanced around. "Nope. Obviously, this is Witch Anya's room. She works even when she sleeps!" Jaque answered while chuckling. "My
Serena POV . . "Miss Rinks, it is true. Lily Swanson is Jaque Davis. I overheard the two betas talking about her yesterday. Beta Andrew said he didn't know where Alpha Adam went, and Beta Jackson told him that King Logan already knew about Lily Swanson. That she is the same as Jaque Davis!" Tia, my servant, reported. I crashed the champagne glass with my grip, blood spouting on my fingers, but with my wolf healing, the cuts were also beginning to cure. "Fate always brings them together, no matter what. I only want one thing in life!" I gritted my teeth, my jaw ticked, and my temple throbbed at its impact. "What is it that you want, my lady?" Tia asked, concerned and curious. She began massaging my feet while I sat on this single chair in my room. I stared at my servant and observed her movement. She had changed a lot. From that of a naive omega to a woman with a fierce look hiding on her innocent face. "Get me another glass of wine. I have some important stuff for you t
Serena POV . . "Prepare our stuff, Tia. We're both leaving the mansion!" We were in a hurry to leave. After what happened tonight, for sure, Jackson and the rest were going to interrogate us. "Where are we going, my lady?" Tia asked, fear evident in her eyes. "Are we going rouge?" She trembled with that word. Although she was an omega and the king we followed was the so-called Rogue King, she still couldn't take the idea that she would not have any permanent places to live in. "No, Tia. We are going back to the US, and we have to stay there until Logan comes back!" I glanced over my shoulder and walked out of the forest like normal people. "Remember, our rehearsal!" I reminded her about our scripted lies. "Don't worry, my lady. I know what to do?" Tia was confident that we couldn't get caught. However... "Serena Rinks and Tia Monroe, you violated the law of the kingdom by conspiring with the fugitive Witch!" It was my cousin, Jackson, welcoming us with a warrant of a
Jaque POV . . This was so far the best days of our lives after six years. Logan and I traveled to the neighboring countryside of North Yorkshire using his shiny blue Aston Martin convertible car. He was maneuvering the steering wheel while I took pictures of the scenery of the mountains. The fiery red and bright yellow colors of the maple and ginkgo leaves were like a painted canvas of the century. I glanced at the love of my life and saw him staring at me. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, I could tell that his gaze was fixed on me. "What?!" I asked, joyful. I shrugged my shoulders off while the strap of my Canon camera was hanging around my neck. "Nah! Just delightful. Finally, we can enjoy our life like this!" He uttered, confident. I got worried at his words. "Logan, please stop the car!" I gently told him, and he pulled over to the emergency lane. "I don't like the way you talk!" I immediately hugged him tight and sniffed on his chest. "What's the matter, sw
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
