Inside the limo was what I expected. It was quite big and with colors beige and white. It could accommodate ten people, do a little party with champagne, and/or do anything that the king wanted. It was wide, but with the ear-piercing silent, it looked narrow. Logan was sitting across from me, a poise of a king who seemed not to even age for the past six years. He was still the Logan who looked domineering and ruthless. The Logan who used to stare at me with dote and gentleness, but this time, his gaze was laced with judgment and contempt. He was trying to be calm, but his chest bounced up and down. "Mr. Knight, I am not comfortable when people stare at me this much!" I tried to speak normally, hiding the anxiety I felt inside. "Is there something wrong with my face?" I sternly met his stare, calming my nerves and hiding my fists while clenching the strap of my purse. "Why did you fake your death again?" His tone was strong and unwavering. "Mr. Knight, I told you. I am not t
Logan POV . . The moment I saw her at the doctor's office, I would just want to cage her in my embrace and feel as if she was real. However, her cold demure toward me gave me enough reasons to hate her at the moment. Even Thorin was exalted, seeing his mate alive and looking beautifully mature now. She was d*mned perfect in that lab gown and those glasses she was wearing. The cut of her short hair and its color accentuated her small face, making her look younger than her age. But beyond those captivating looks, she had laced a defiant behavior directly pointing at me. I sniffed her scent, which I had missed for a long time. My wolf's tail wagged, expecting to bask in that aroma again. My brows furrowed, and my eyes turned into slits when I couldn't smell anything special from her, except for that ethanol alcohol the hospital staff was using to wipe their hands. Then that dawned on me when my orbs crawled down to her neck where my mark was once proudly sitting. It was now cov
Logan POV . . My face was as dark as the evening sky. Draco even stepped back a bit when he came to open the car door. My surroundings were filled with different scenarios at the moment, and with some foul smell, too. I swore I had to teach this woman a lesson while she was with me. 'Ahm, my king, did she just puke on your suit?' Draco mind-linked me while covering his nostrils with his index. We both glanced at the woman drooling on my shoulder. I pursed my lips hard, controlling myself to gouge her droopy eyes so she would wake up. "As*hole king. You are not even that handsome!" Or maybe stitch her mouth so she could not talk again. 'My king, what are we going to do with her?' Draco was as stressed as I was. 'Bring her to the cage!' Furious, I threw her to Draco. 'Lock her up till she wakes up!' 'But we have a human here!' I almost forgot her friend, who was busy admiring the villa, ignoring the fact that her annoying friend was drunk. 'Fine! Bring her to t
Logan POV . . A deep sigh engulfed me as I ended the flashbacks and got out of the tub. I put on my white robe to cover my nakedness as droplets of water from my hair were wetting the marble floor. "Sir, it is me, Draco!" A knock came at the door, and Draco's voice after, beckoning me to open it. As I slightly opened, his anxious face welcomed me. "Sir, Miss Swanson, I mean Miss Davis is throwing some pieces of stuff in the room. We can't stop her!" "Wait for me!" I hastily put on my shirt and shorts and strode straight to her room, which was just adjacent to mine. Upon opening, her loud, upset voice pierced my ears. "What the heck?" The room was a complete mess. Even her friend couldn't stop her. "I apologize on her behalf, Mr. Knight. She is drunk. I don't know why she got drunk. I... Ahm....!" Her friend stuttered, obviously, scared. "Leave us, both of you!" My roar startled the human. She immediately held Draco's hand, making him frown. The two left right away when
Logan POV . . He could figure it out. This Alpha mutt could figure it out. While I was already aware that Lily and Jaque were the same person, he still had no idea about that. That was great. It was better to keep it that way! "Let's add that to our investigation, Alpha. For now, let's ~" "Is Miss Swanson here now?" How dare he cut me off? "Miss who?" I feigned I didn't hear him. At the moment, all I wanted was to rest. My eyes formed into slits upon seeing his unsettled expression. "Who are you asking?" "I mean, Miss Lily Swanson, the intern at Saint Paul Hospital, where my father was treated!" He looked very stern, and his words laid a different meaning. "Yes! She is resting!" I answered with a sigh, silently telling him to quit this talk and let's just all call it a day. I was really exhausted to the extent that I needed a pillow and blanket now. I could lie down here on the carpeted floor in my library. "That's... good to know. Where is... all right, my king!"
Unknown POV . . "So, these mutts are here?" His eyes turned red. As red as the blood, he was drinking from an ancient goblet. "Finally, they took my bait!" His sinister smile was dangerous. Although he had the looks of a god, inside him was a dark soul. I also sneered at the realization that everything happened for a reason. Fate brought everyone here. The pieces of the ancient puzzle were almost finished. There were only a few pieces left. Within the blink of an eye, goddess Diana's descendants would be revealed, and goddess Alectrona would wake up from her long slumber. "Summon them. We have a present to prepare for that king!" He tidied up the cloak that was hanging on his shoulders. His ancient-style English coat was shining from the light of the sun. His wavy short hair was silky black and shining, he was the epitome of a perfect firstborn. "Yes, master!" I was the loyal servant for centuries. Like my master, I was gifted with an immortal life and the ability to walk
Serena POV . . "She is alive?!" I repeated it twice just to confirm if I heard it right. Jackson had just received a call from Draco that Logan had fallen unconscious. He has never gotten weak. He was always strong, and he... he... he saw Jaque in the flesh...Alive! "She is not alive, Serena. She met someone who had a similar look to Jaque. That's what Draco told me on the phone!" Jackson was in the middle of packing his stuff when I barged into his room and asked him a series of questions about Logan's trip to Middlesbrough. "Do not confuse those two, and what are you doing in our house, in our room?" He stopped folding his clothes for a while and stared at me. "I just missed my nephew, that's all. I was supposed to visit him in his room when I heard you talking to Draco on the phone. Jackson, why don't you want to tell me these kinds of stuff? Don't you trust me?" I had noticed since that b!tch died six years ago, Logan kept a distance from me. He still brought me to his p
Serena POV . . "Can you stop pacing back and forth, Jackson? We are flying for Pete's sake!" I crossed my arms over my chest as I scowled at my cousin, who kept watching me like I was a five-year-old kid. He then stopped and placed his hands on the cushioned headrest. He fixed his gaze on me and sternly spoke. "You better behave there, Serena. I still have no idea how you fooled my wife to approve of your coming to Middlesbrough, but I am watching you!" I sighed at his boring speech and glanced at the window. We were on a private plane going to Middlesbrough. How did I make that she-wolf witch agree? Easy peasy! I just told her that I was going to keep an eye on Miss Lily Swanson, whether she was indeed her dead best friend or not. If there was one she-wolf that she hated the most in Shadow Rock, that was me, and I was going to use that to my advantage. "Jackson, I am going to Middlesbrough for the same reason you have. Logan is also important in my life. Aside fro
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
