Jaque POV . . I was having a lunch break when Ayesha came to me, gasping. "Lily, I have something to tell you!" She told me in between her pants. "Take a deep breath first. Okay, what is it?" I furrowed my brows at her. It must have been something special or important. Ayesha didn't need to come all the way to the cafeteria to tell me something nonsense. "The older man yesterday. He just woke up, and he was fighting everyone in the ICU. He is dangerous!" I got up right away. "Lily, don't go there. The man is very strong and he is a little different!" 'Yeah, I know who he is, Ayesha. I also know he is different!' I told her in my thoughts. With my wolf speed, I finally reached the ICU and heard my father's voice at once. "Let go of me, you filthy humans. You don't know who I am!" He seemed to have forgotten the code of ethics of the werewolf council. 'Never put doubts in the minds of the humans.' Three brawny guards were already holding him, but he just shook them off, a
Jaque POV . . "That was what I call a jaw-dropper!" Ayesha high-fived me as we were on our way to our department. "That girl is horrible. She called us slut. Hello! Can she not see herself in the mirror?" She couldn't forget what Jasmine said to her. "I think she is the ~ Ops!" Then she stopped. "What's the matter?" I glanced in the direction she was staring and became curious about what was happening near the lift. "Why are there so many people coming out in the lift? Who are ~" I blinked my eyes and adjusted my glasses. I didn't need to ask who had just arrived. I knew them and lived with them for years since I was ten. They were the warriors of Blood Moon Pack and... NO WAY!!! I turned around, pretending to be looking at something as I fixed the strands of my hair to cover my face. Adam and Andrew had just arrived! "Wow! I wonder whose family they are? I want to stay with them!" Ayesha jokingly uttered while holding the sleeve of my lab gown. "That guy is handso
Adam POV . . 'Jaque?!' I repeated in my thoughts. Her name came out with bitterness and longing in my mouth. How long have I been missing her? Five long years. She was declared dead in the whole kingdom even before I could go back to Blood Moon Pack. I was in another country at that time, doing my alpha duty and making alliances with other packs. "Alpha Adam, we are telling the truth here. Jaque is alive, and she...!" Lauren stuttered and couldn't get the exact terms on her tongue. "She has changed!" Her next words came out in a whisper like she doubted her own judgment. "We've come all the way to bring home your husband and your family driver, Lauren!" I roared, annoyed at slandering Jaque's name even in her death. She was gone and not coming back. "Do not slander somebody who is already resting in goddess Diana's care!" Andrew held my hand, but I brushed it off. "Alpha, I also saw here!" I glared at my beta at once. Lauren bowed her head in submission while Jasmine hi
Adam POV . . "You don't need to do that, Miss Swanson. We ~" "It's my responsibility, Mr. Hayes. I was the one who told them to handcuff him, so it is just normal that I will be the one to remove those!" Her look was stern like she was either holding grudges on me or had not known me at all. "But...!" "But what, Mr. Hayes? They are just handcuffs with keys. What's the big deal with that?!" She was about to touch the silver handcuffs that were wrapped around Louis's wrist when my instinct kicked in, and I accidentally held her hand, keeping it away from the silver metal. "What are you doing?" She roared as she brushed her hand off, like feeling disgusted by my touch. "Alp~" Jasmine almost burst out of my position in the pack. She stopped when her mother nudged her. She pursed her lips tight and stayed close to Lauren at once. "My apologies, Miss Swanson. It's just that!" "Seriously, what is wrong with you, people?" She burst out, upset. "They are just silver handcuff
Adam POV . . Jaque, no!" Everyone glanced at me when I accidentally called her name. Then their eyes were shifted to the woman, who successfully removed silver handcuffs without flinching. Both Lauren and Jasmine gasped when they came back to the room and saw everything. We had the same questions in our minds. Although the humans in the ward found it weird when I reacted, they didn't say a word. However, their stares at us were hard to decipher. "What's the matter, Mr. Hayes? Am I the one you're calling Jaque? How many times do I have to tell you that I am not her? And what's with that attitude you just showed now? Isn't this what you people want? To take off his handcuffs. So, why are you yelling?" She shot me a series of questions I couldn't respond to without telling her the truth. "I really thought you were Jaque. She was my friend. She passed away five years ago. She was the daughter of the one lying on the bed!" The doctors and nurses glanced at her with wide eyes
Jaque POV . . I went home and climbed upstairs straight to my room before Witch Anya could feel my presence. "You're back. Hurry up and change. Dinner is ready!" Or she already did even before I could park my car outside. I just smiled at her while she was waiting for me at the foot of the steps. After a few minutes, we were now sitting across from each other, and as always, on the table was a sumptuous meal from seafood to fresh green vegetables. "No meat this evening, mom!" I cooed, making her raise her brow at me. While taking off the bones of the Striped Bass with Herb-Olive Salsa, her eyes were fixed on me. "What?!" I asked while chewing my meal. "Ops, I forgot!" I pursed my lips and put my thumb and index together, moving them from the left side of my mouth to the right, gesturing a 'zip your mouth' motion. Witch Anya chuckled at my expression. "My nephew and his Alpha were at the hospital this afternoon, right?" I really couldn't hide anything from her. I was a
Jaque POV . . I had been edgy since Witch Anya told me he was coming. Though she didn't tell me when, for she had no power to reveal the future, I still felt like he was coming at any moment. 'So, what if he is here? I think it is better!' My dear lazy wolf could feel my uncertainties and anxiety. She could also feel the tinge of rage we both have for Logan and Thorin. Those rascal mates of us would surely pay a hefty price. Not unless Adam or any member of my former pack already told him that I was still alive. Speaking of the Blood Moon Pack, words from Witch Anya kept plugging in my thoughts. My happiness for Kelly's new life gave away my perfect disguise. Did he twist my story, making me upset at first to trigger my emotions? If so, then that was a new Andrew I was meeting for the first time. Also, why didn't he have a mate yet? Aside from that, what happened between Adam and Jasmine? The way they interacted with each other yesterday, and she called him by his title,
Jaque POV . . "Ahm! Mr. Knight, she is Miss Lily Swanson, and she is the ~" Logan didn't let Doctor Smith finish her words. He immediately raised his hand, forming a stop sign. The doctor was appalled that she pursed her lips right away. "Six long years that you left us and enjoying the company of the humans, huh, Jaque Davis!" It was so fast. He was just sitting on a swivel chair earlier. Now, he was standing close to me and whispering in my ear. I tried to push him, but he was as strong and sturdy as a tree. "I am not Jaque Davis, Mr. You people better stop saying that name to me!" I tried to be firm, but my voice almost gave me away. His presence still affected me. This wasn't about the bond anymore. That bond had been snapped for a long time. However, Logan didn't seem to care about my struggle. He had just caged me against the wall, not affected by the doctor's presence, who at the moment was just stunned and rooted in her spot. He touched my cheek, and I flinched,
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
