Adam POV . . In the absence of the king and queen, Beta Jackson and I stepped forward to maintain the stability of the kingdom. I, as the new leader of the council, had the biggest task to do. To hear complaints from every pack. I was flipping through the pages of the documents that my Delta gave me when the door swung open. "Marco, what's the matter?" I asked without glancing but also stood up alert when I sniffed another scent. "What are you doing here?" With my speed, I immediately rushed toward him and grabbed his collar. I had been dreaming of killing this @ssh*le. "I am asking you, moron!" I snarled at his face. "Calm down, Alpha Adam. I am here to work. It is my first day. Is this how you welcome your new staff?" I could feel the ill will in his tone. He held my hand, trying to free himself from my clasp, but he just twitched his lips. He was not that strong enough to defeat me physically. "You get out of here. Nobody wants you in this kingdom, j@cka$$!" I gritted m
Adam POV . . She frantically glanced at the door, anxiety and guilt were written all over her face. "Alpha Adam, let me go. It's a mistake coming here!" She whispered as she kept looking at the door. "It's not. You are in the right place, Amira. It was me who whispered your name, not him. Amira, I have something to tell you. Delmar is ~" "Alpha Adam, is my mate with you right now? I can smell her scent from your door!" That was Delmar gently knocking at the door. I snarled at the possessiveness he was showing. Jealousy was killing me and my wolf. Kylo just wanted to tear that @ss apart. "Adam, let me go!" She was now upset. "Don't make me do this!" She was about to use her power on me, but I was faster. I immediately sealed her lips and stopped her from chanting a whatever spell. She struggled so hard, but I used my Alpha power to keep her still. 'I don't want to do this!' She mind-linked, earning her a warning groan. "Alpha Adam is Amira there!" That @ss kept kept knock
Adam POV . . I groaned, feeling my head would explode at any moment. My eyes were still shut for the only thing I could see was darkness, but I could hear whispers and footsteps. Where the h*ck was I? "He moved!" I heard a sound from a she-wolf but couldn't recognize who she was. "Dad, Adam moved his fingers!" Oh! That was only Jasmine. But why were they here? Then, the incident at my office came back as a flashback in my head. I gradually opened my eyes and saw five people in my room. The Davis family was on my left side. My parents were on my right. "Adam, finally. My goddess, we thought we lost you!" My mom hugged me so tight that I couldn't almost breathe. The reason why I was out. "Ops, sorry. I was just worried. You've been out for three days!" "W-what?" Three days?! I immediately sat straight but also dropped myself back to bed. I thought I was still feeling unwell. "What happened?!" I knew Amira used her power at me, but I wanted to know how the h*ck I was bro
Amira POV . . I had been in my room for quite a while since that incident happened at Adam's office. I had been trying to understand everything. I was weighing both sides. Alpha Adam's side and Delmar's side. "No! No! Delmar can't lie to me. I have known him since we were kids. Also, he is my mate, but Adam!" Well, Adam and I just shared a little... I sighed, couldn't exactly describe what we had in the past. There was a spark when Adam kissed me. A spark that lulled me to his arms, to his care. A spark that screamed unfathomable feelings. A spark that I longed to have and keep for the rest of my life. But every time I thought about my mate and our ancient past, guilt was drowning me. Delmar was a good warrior of the moon goddess. He was actually one of the best men in the realm next to my brothers and Thorin. Delmar was my childhood sweetheart. My hope, my love. Love?! I couldn't even decipher the true and hidden meaning of that word anymore. This guilt was killing me
Amira POV . . "Why doesn't he want to be with you? I mean, you guys are mates. It is only normal that you and Delmar should stay under one roof. Why doesn't he want that?" My witch sister had been bugging me about it since she came to my sanctuary unannounced. "She must be hiding something!" My princess friend, seconded. I crossed my legs, listening to their bubbles as I raised my well-trimmed brows at them. It was Saturday, and according to them, they were on holiday, which meant they had no job to do. But who were they kidding? Orora was simply making potions and chanting spells in her coven while she trained her fellow witches along with their high witch, Victoria. Nomiko was simply Alaric's wife and was now three months pregnant with their first child. I sighed at the thought that these sisters of mine came here for gossip. "Come on, you girls. That's our friend Delmar!" I should not forget Demeter, the ever-no-filter slash-healer in the group. "But Orora is right. Sin
Amira POV . . What was that strong, ammonia-like odor? I sniffed, moving my face closer to the door of his room to sniff more of that unpleasant scent. However, when I heard footsteps coming, I immediately raised my hand and snapped my fingers. I also covered my scent so he wouldn't notice my presence. The door swung open, and he was just wearing a pair of rugged jeans, no tops. His perfect abs and broad chest were in display. I squinted my eyes on the right side of his chest and saw a black tattoo in the shape of a skull. 'What is that?' I asked inwardly, talking about the meaning or significance of it. When he glanced around, I panicked. Did he sense me? I was hoping not. He snapped his eyes from left to right and then visa versa. His brows furrowed as his nose crunched. Did he just smell my scent? "Hmm! Impossible!" He also uttered as he closed the door and heard a tick inside, locking it. What was he hiding? I could teleport inside, but I was not sure of what's g
Amira POV . . I tried to leave using my power. To just disappear in their pack, but I had no idea what was wrong with my power now. It didn't want me to banish or go back to my sanctuary. 'Oh! Come on! You don't really want me to make a stupid mistake here. Let me disappear in this place, already!' I was now talking to myself, imagining that my power had a life and could understand me. I ran as fast as I could from the oak tree until I found the cave. Perhaps it wasn't bad to stay here for a while until Adam and that she-wolf left the woods. I went inside. The cave was cold, but it didn't bother me. There was water flowing calmly next to the rocks. As I went further, I saw light like an entrance. There was something more in this cage than what Shiva had told us before. I continued to discover until I saw falls. My eyes went wide as my mouth hung open. This was so far the best in this kingdom. Did they know they had a treasure here? This place was precious by itself, a hidden
Adam POV . . It hurt, but this was the only way. To know Delmar's plan, I had to act like she had nothing to do with me anymore. I strode back to the packhouse, meeting Andrew on the way. He was sweating all over, topless, and just wearing rugged jeans. His hair was also a mess. Although it fitted him, I was still curious why suddenly my Beta was showing skin these past few months. He was never concerned with his appearance before. "Alpha!" He smiled. He formed a satisfying grin on his face. He strode side by side with me while gasping. "Where have you been?" He asked, with that grin still glued on his face. "To the woods!" I simply answered. "What about you? You look like you ran a mile!" I asked, and he just chuckled at me. "What's the matter?" I asked again, annoyed this time. "Well, I had sparring with our healer!" He stopped for a moment and glanced around. "I won this time!" He looked like he had just been given an Alpha position in the pack. "I have got the reward
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
