Jaque POV . . "Okay, they're gone. What are we still waiting for here? Christmas? New Year?!" Collen uttered with a little sarcasm. I couldn't blame him. We had been here for like hours, just staring at the darkness. "How about a new face?!" Victoria answered back, still upset. "Can't you be a little sensitive, Collen?!" She added. "Do I need to answer that?!" Collen retorted rather. These two were really more of a cat and a dog. "Come on, guys. If there's nothing that I need to do here now, I am going back to my chamber. Chao!" "Collen!" Victoria called him, but he shifted into a crow and flew away. "Really an a$$!" The high witch whispered under her breath. She was a bit cute when she crossed her arms on her chest. It showed the kid side of her when she also stomped her feet. Victoria was more than a hundred years old, who stopped growing when her mother transferred her power to her. It was a bit of pity that she was bestowed with such power and responsibilities a
Jaque POV . . "Jaque is pregnant?!" Adam exclaimed, shocked and not believing. "Are you sure about that?!" His face was as dim as the darkness in the forest. "Alpha Adam, when it comes to a new life, I don't doubt my intuition," Witch Anya exclaimed back. Then she glanced back at me. "Jaque, you're carrying a life inside you. You're carrying the king's heir. The more you need to be protected. I suggest you stay at the Blood Moon Pack until this baby is born!" "Seriously, Witch Anya, I prefer to stay at the kingdom rather than in the pack where I almost died every day. Don't you get me? Blood Moon Pack is more dangerous for me to live in!" I couldn't help but glanced at Adam, who suddenly looked down at the ground, feeling embarrassed and guilty. "No offense, Adam, but I am talking about my own blood there. Jasmine and her scheming mother!" Adam ambled toward me and held my hand. "Jaque, I swear in the eyes of the moon goddess that I will protect you and make you my priori
Jaque POV . . The mansion looked empty. Jackson and some of the warriors of Shadow Rock already went back to the US a month ago. They brought Serena and her omega to justice. I gradually sat on the sofa and accidentally touched my flat tummy. I remembered that I was no longer alone. I was carrying a tiny life. The fruit of our love with each other. "Baby, if your daddy knows you are arriving in the world before he left, he would have more strength to endure the possible hardships and struggles he would encounter there!" I whispered as I caressed my belly. Even if the baby was still a small blood, I felt like it had already a mind to think and a heart to feel. I guessed that was the essence of motherhood. Did my mom feel the same thing when she was conceiving me? "Your mind is flying!" Suddenly, Adam uttered, smiling. He sat beside me while his gaze was fixed on me. He crossed his arms over my chest, now smirking. I couldn't help but jokingly hit his arm. "Shvt up! I am just
Adam POV . . She was after Jaque. That was obvious. The more there was a reason that I should be with her, now that the king was out there fighting for our survival. I stared at her, worried was laced on my din expression. "Jaque, whether you like it or not, I will be with you until King Logan comes back. You can bring Gamma Kyle and Katrina with you if you like!" I was fully aware that Kyle was her gamma, and Katrina was one of her loyal servants. The rest were all just with her if she had some events to attend to, to groom or prepare her outfit. "Thanks, Adam, but I don't think Serena knows where I really am. She thought I was with Logan and staying at the castle. Serena has no idea where Alaric's castle is!" "For now, yeah! But didn't you hear what Andrew said? She used dark magic to escape. She can also use that to locate your whereabouts. Jaque, allow me to be with you until King Logan comes back!" I was this close to losing patience with her. Ever since we were kids,
Logan POV . . "This d*mn place is the world of chaos!" Alaric had been commenting nonstop upon arriving at the realm of the gods and goddesses. "I fully remember that it wasn't like this when mom sent us to Earth. It was a place of magnificence and awesomeness!" He fully remembered, but I couldn't remember anything. What I felt upon stepping into this land of the gods was Thorin would like to surface. My power arose and was overwhelming. I gasped as I felt him wanting to come out again. My wolf was leading us. He was literally the one showing me the way. "Wait! We have to stop and find a place to stay. It is getting dark!" I told Alaric, and he just laughed. "Are you tired, King Logan? We are not even far from the portal yet. Just 10 kilometers away, and you are this exhausted?!" He clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Can you even fight the goddess of darkness with this kind of situation you have?" "I am not sure if I release Thorin now, I might kill you or any living
Logan POV . . We had been walking into the wilderness for hours, passing every leaf that slapped our faces, and sniffing every possible enemy that was lurking behind these old trees and giant bushes. Nevertheless, we haven't stopped yet. The voice of the woman was still leading us. She spoke nonstop, sometimes humming a song or intentionally kicking the dry leaves on the ground just to let us know she was leading the journey. "When will you show yourself to us?!" Alaric, who was like me, already becoming impatient, couldn't help but ask. "I can't really follow a ghost!" He stopped and sharpened her eyes at the invisible force. "I think I can remember you now. You are Collen's aunt!" Collen's aunt?! Suddenly, a dead air... "You never failed to impress me, Prince Alaric. You still remember my little trick!" A blue butterfly just suddenly popped up and shifted into a beautiful middle-aged woman. She also had golden brown hair like Collen. Their only difference was the shape
Alaric POV . . There was only one reason why I didn't want to come back here. The reason why I also left billions of years ago. I had wonderful and mischievous memories of my childhood in the world of the gods and goddesses. I could say I was blessed to be chosen as the firstborn of the most powerful goddess in this realm. Aside from that, she made me her prince and bestowed the power to represent my kind, the vampires. At first, everything was great. Everything seemed to be perfect... Until I met the vampire princess from the South Coven. She was beautiful beyond comparison. She was naive and looked innocent, but the world coated her with the ancient human saying, 'Don't judge a book by its cover!' For she was the best example of that phrase. Behind those sweet smiles and a gentle-looking face, that soft voice and humble behavior lay a venomous woman with a dark secret. Her name was Nomiko, the only vampire princess and heir to the throne of the vampire king, King Hachi
Logan POV . . "The weapon is inside Logan, Alaric. Use your instinct to choose the right door!" The moon goddess was ethereal but, at the same time, cunning. I thought once we got here, we were going to face Alectrona right away. However, it was her whom we met first instead. "How many chances do we have?" I questioned, having Jaque in my mind. "Also, before I choose, I have to ask you about Thorin. Does he really need to die, or is there another way to tame my wolf?" That also concerned me the most. Thorin was my half, my life as well. As much as possible, I didn't want to lose him, too. "Thorin is your embodiment, but when he is in his own comfort zone, he can be mischievous, just like in the old times. All you need to do for your wolf is to remind him of your relationship on Earth. He is indeed a lone wolf here, but not where you were born. Thorin doesn't need to perish. You just have to remind him of his life with you!" That made a lot of perfect sense. How come I d
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
