Amira POV . . How stupid I was. I let that happen. I slept with Alpha Adam last night. I was no longer drunk. I was sober. But I still did a tremendous act, betraying my mate. How stupid could I get? I scolded myself as I paced back and forth in my room. Ayesha still had no idea that I was already home. 'What will I do now? Did Delmar feel my betrayal? Did he feel my unfaithfulness?' I bit my thumb. A mannerism I had since I was a kid every time I was anxious or even scared. I shvt my eyes, trying to think whether to tell Delmar about it or not. However, instead of imagining Delmar's face, Adam's annoyingly good-looking feature last night flashbacked in my mind. The way he caressed me. The way he moaned my name. The way he claimed me. The way he called me his love. The way he stared at me dotingly. They all melted in my mind and stayed in my heart. 'Amira, you are mine and mine only!' I could still remember how he claimed me with possessiveness. It tickled my heart. It gav
Amira POV . . "Delmar, I...I am just here. I won't leave!" I told him as I tapped his shoulder and tried to step back, but his hug was tight, and he was trying to catch my lips. "I miss you, my darling!" Before I could stop him, his lips had already sealed mine. However, the feelings were not the same. I felt my lips burning, and I was suffocating. I tried to suppress it, but the more I did, the more I felt I was drowning. Until I did my best to be released from his tight wrap. "Delmar, I am sorry. I just had a headache now. I drank too much last night!" I saw something in his eyes, but I couldn't put a name to it. He looked still upset and disappointed. "Alright! I will give you time to rest. I will come back this afternoon. No! Tomorrow! I will visit you tomorrow!" He said with a stern face. I was pretty sure he didn't like my reaction to the kiss he just did. "Okay, Delmar. See you tomorrow!" I just told him. When he left, I dropped myself to the floor. I felt weak
Orora POV . . Something was odd. I had been searching for that book in my library for hours but I couldn't find it. I had been floating in the air for hours and circling around these stacks of ancient books. I hadn't read that book for disguise in a long time, and now that I needed it, I couldn't find it. "Arrg! Orora, think! Come on!" I swayed my wand, and it formed a glitter in the air. That wand was a gift from the moon goddess itself. She told me to use it if something important needed to be fixed. For now, Amira's situation was THAT something very important. "Orora, we have a visitor!" One of my witches knocked on the door. "It is Princess Amira's mate, Delmar!" I immediately went down to the floor and stuck my wand on the side of my waistband while forming a fake smile. "Vina, stock them back. Hurry!" I told my witch, and she hurriedly used her power to put all the books back on the shelves while I went to the door. Delmar was indeed here, and he was waiting outside t
Adam POV . . "Witch Orora, can I come in?" Since last night, aside from that overwhelming feeling I shared with Amira, I felt something different. Something unexplainable. Something that only the witches could tell. When she just left this morning, I felt devastated, like I had lost something that was part of me. Like I had lost my heart and my soul. The door creaked open, and Orora's stern face welcomed my desperate look. "What is it, Alpha Adam?" Her tone was also nonchalant. Did something happen before I came here? "Alpha Adam, if you are just going to stare at me in front of my door, you can take a photo and leave!" I was nudged by her aggressive voice. "My bad. Can I come in? I need your help with this one. It is about Amira!" I heard her sigh and saw her roll her eyes before she opened the door wide and let me in. "Would you like some tea?" Her voice was still stoic but a little bit nicer this time. Also, yes, I was going to need a liquid to calm my nerves. "T
Adam POV . . Just one ordinary day at the Council. I was busy flipping the pages of some documents Camira sent me this morning while browsing some of the reports on my laptop. I creased my brows when my eyes caught something. 'Camira!' I mind-linked our budget officer at once. 'To the office!' I gently uttered. Being the leader, you should be tough and aggressive. That was the teaching Amos planted to the staff here, but I was not Amos and would never be. I treated the staff here as my friends, at the same time putting a wall between us. Meaning, we should all know our positions. 'Yes, Alpha!' Camira responded. 'Shall I bring you something, Alpha?' She also asked. I could already smell her scent coming to my office. 'No! Just you!' I told her. I had my laptop, and the budget for next month's emergency funds for every pack was flashing on the screen monitor. 'Alpha, what's the matter?' She asked as she arrived at the door. I just nodded at her, signaling her to take the s
Adam POV . . I got up and fixed the hem of my sleeves while Camira helped Delmar get up. I was so furious that when he got the chance to stand steadily, I gave him a strong hit on the jaw, making Camira startle as he fell back to the floor. "Alpha Adam, what do you think you're doing?" She immediately stepped between us, shielding this impostor from me. He groaned, getting up for the second time. Still smirking at me while Camira faced my rage. "You can't pretend for d*mn too long, j@ck@ss!" I roared. "You are lucky, Camira is here. If not, I would have torn you into pieces!" I pointed at him, Camira snapping my hand. "That's enough!" She roared at me. "He doesn't fight you, okay? Whatever that is that makes you upset again!" I shifted my glare at Camira and mind-linked her. 'Believe that j@ck@ss all you want, but I am telling you!' I glanced back at him, who was now standing still while touching his jaw. 'He has a hidden agenda, and we are all in great danger if we do
Amira POV . . I missed Adam. What I meant was I missed him. All of him. This was crazy. I had a mate, but I couldn't feel any special fondness for him anymore. I didn't even know when it started. "Ahh! This is insane!" I pulled my hair out of stress, and this was the one that Ayesha saw when she entered my room. "Princess Amira, are you alright?" She immediately came to my aid and brushed my hair with her fingers. "You know well that your hair is the crown of your glory. Why are you ruining it?" She ticked her tongue as she began adorning my hair with pearls and diamonds. "By the way, I came to say that Princess Nomiko wanted to invite you for tea time. She just summoned me this morning!" "Great! I will go. When will that be?" I immediately accepted Nomiko's invitation. I had never seen her for a month now, and I also needed her company. I needed someone to talk to about this. Someone who had no idea that much yet about us, about me and Adam. "That will be tomorrow?" Aye
Adam POV . . I was in my study room at the packhouse just doing some stuff for the Blood Moon, when suddenly a loud knock on the door made me squint my eyes. Who could that be could also mind-link me, no need to knock. "Come in!" I made my voice loud, showing not pleased with that continuous banging on my door. When it swung open, I was stunned to see Marco rushing with an anxious look. "What's the matter? You look like you just saw a ghost!" I told him, still a bit annoyed. "Oh! Believe me, Alpha. I am more than that today!" I raised my brow at him, still baffled at his words. He took a deep sigh and looked like he was organizing his thoughts. "Have you watched the news on human territory recently?" He asked, and now he was shaking. I just chuckled at him, thinking that was just a waste of time. I leaned back against the headrest and stared deeply at him. "You banged my door hard just to ask me such useless questions. Marco, I know you better than this!" "Alpha, I am
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
