Jaque POV . . "We should regroup. One from the vampire clans, a healer from any creature, and a powerful witch. You are also included, Shiva. Since you are the most powerful creature here on Earth. Alectrona is anxious to clash with you again!" Orora stressed out as she paced back and forth in front of me. "I agree. You take the witch side, Orora. Alaric can take the vampire side!" I suggested, but Orora just constantly shook her head. She then strode to the island and took a bite of a grape. When she finished with one, she took another round. She also poked a chunk of pineapple with a fruit fork and gobbled it in her mouth. I even heard her moan, satisfied with the sweetness of the fruit. "Ahm. Have you been eating well?" I couldn't help but ask. "No! I starved myself for a week just to find the answer to this mystery!" She nonchalantly responded. "I should empty my mind and my stomach to fill in new information about this. Delmar's case isn't an easy task to solve!" I agr
Jaque POV . . "My queen, calm down. I know you want to kill this bastard!" Demeter uttered with gritted teeth. "Me, too. I just want to end this @ss!" She also couldn't control herself she kicked his chest hard, throwing him at the wall. A groan escaped from his lips as he threw Demeter a glare and an annoying sneer. "Kill me if you want. End my life, but you will never find that Alpha dog to me. You are just wasting my time!" He let out an ev*l laugh, making us all hiss in anger. Orora was so furious that she swayed her hand and that @ssh*le werecat's mouth disappeared at once. "Wow! Orora, what did you just do?" I asked with wide eyes and open mouth, stunned at her sudden actions. "He is loud. It annoys me!" Orora simply uttered. "Nomiko is on her way with Amira. We better prepare!" She slapped the annoying werecat who struggled a lot to speak. His hands were tied on top of his head to a giant silver chain that was strongly attached to the ceiling. "You better behave, j@c
Delmar POV . . Huh! These id!ots thought I hadn't prepared for this. To think they said they had been tracking me. It was indeed a lucky thing that Alectrona gave me the leverage to change into a wolf, at least for a couple of hours before my real appearance popped up. The moment they saw me shift into a tiny wolf, they were all flabbergasted. I howled, confirming to them that I was hurt. Although the only woman I could convince now was Princess Amira, since she was the only one who had not seen me speaking with Alectrona earlier. "Impossible!" This they called Shiva reacted. She circled me like I was an experiment, making me growl at her. She stepped back a bit when she heard my wolf voice. "You're Delmar's wolf? I can't believe you are this tiny. You are just like a husky!" Excuse me?! Comparing me to a dog?! I was a f*cking werecat, b!tch! "You are insulting him, Shiva. Stop circling him around like he is a laboratory specimen!" Amira, my fake mate, scolded her, earning
Adam POV . . Where was I? My head hurt. I felt my temples splitting in half. I groaned as I massaged them and gradually opened my eyes to check the room. It was dark. No windows, just one closed door. One bed where I was lying down and a side table with a glass of water on it. What place was this? I shut my eyes one more time, trying to recall how I got here. Then I remembered that Alectrona had taken me and forcibly put me to sleep. When was that again? I was not sure at all. I glanced at my clothes. They were now different. Somebody had changed my shirt and pants. 'Kylo, are you alright?' I asked my wolf who was sleeping in the corner. 'Kylo, wake up, body. We need to escape this place!' Yet, my wolf didn't answer. I tried to get up, using my elbow as my support while my fingers massaged my temples. Glancing at the water, I was not sure if they were safe or not. But I was thirsty. I was tempted to drink it. My mind said a big fat NO! "Alectrona!" I roared, calling my
Adam POV . . I groaned at the excruciating pain as the last whip hit my back, creating another deep cut on my skin. I felt so weak that my legs gave up. My knees kissed the cold floor as the chains that were wrapped around my wrist clanged. "I am hoping you learned your lessons, human!" One of the warriors sneered. "If I were you, don't be cocky talking to Tashifa. Especially to her brother, Dameron!" He snorted. "You have no idea what those two can do!" "Well, he might be thinking, just because he's been here before we still favor him!" The other guy added. I was way too weak to lift my head and respond to them. But everything they were saying now was stuck in my head. Had I been here before? Was I like Jaque and Logan? Was I reincarnated?! "Let's go. Let's leave him here. Tashifa will come and see him later!" They were about to leave the dungeon when I finally got the strength to speak. "Where is the dark goddess?" It took them a couple of seconds to answer. "She
Amira POV . . "Impossible, Ayesha! Impossible!" I had been convincing my servant and myself of the truth that I found out the other day. Convincing that it was not real. It was just a figment of my imagination or a part of my power manifestation. However, the more I said to Ayesha that it wasn't real, the more I felt that I was lying to myself. "My mistress, you said it yourself. You've seen Delmar naked once before, and you've seen his pride fully with your own eyes!" Ayesha was too vulgar to say it, but that was what I liked in her. Subtlety wasn't her best suit. She had no filter at all. "Ahm. Yeah, I did. Was I drunk when I said that? That was sooo a long time ago, Ayesha. How could you remember until now?" I twitched my lips, abashed at her scandalous grin. "Yes, my princess. You were a teen then and had a huge crush on him. If I am not mistaken, that was before your eighteenth birthday. You wanted to sneak out and meet him in the woods before he would go to his missi
Amira POV . . "Princess Amira, greetings to you!" The six-year-old high witch smiled at me while she stepped down from Collen's back. This tiger groaned impatiently, protesting. "Collen, you've never seen your sister for quite a while. Why be mean?" She slapped the tiger's back, making him snarl at me. "Shift Collen, we all need to talk!" I commanded in my princess tone, and he immediately obeyed. Upon transforming into his human form, he raised his hands for a hug. "Amira, our lovely and amazing sister who is head-over-heels in love with her fake destined mate!" There was sarcasm in his voice, earning him a scowl from me. "Oh! Come on. The girls told us everything. It was a heck of drama for all of you. For the first time, aside from simple bickering!" He shrugged his shoulders. "Which happens once in a while. This was the first time that you all argued because of a mere man!" "He is also your friend, Collen. So shvt up!" I was getting pissed, and at the same time, I w
Jasmine POV . . I ran like the wind, tripping on the protruding roots from the ground. I had been running for hours, escaping from these two creatures that were chasing me. They were mere shadows when facing the strong light of the sun, but invisible forces when the giant leaves blocked its beams. I had been gasping for air and wanted to quit, but my mind was set not to let these two unknown forces win. I tripped for the third time, and it hurt a lot. I checked my knee, which was now bleeding. "D*mn it!" I whispered as I crawled to the nearest tree trunk to hide and rest for a while. Although hiding was futile, I still hoped I could run away from them. What did they want from me anyway? I gasped, holding my breath when I heard the rustling of the dried leaves from the ground. My palm clamped my mouth as I curled myself into a ball, hugging my knees. The wound was now healing, thanks to my wolf. "Where are you, oversized pup?" One of the shadows spoke, looking for me.
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
