CHAPTER 65 : SHAPESHIFTERS (PART 1)
CHAPTER 65 : SHAPESHIFTERS (PART 1)
Alexander and Jace were still in their wolf forms as they played around with each other.
They were having a good time together as Alexander lay down on the grass with Jace next to him.
Jace laid his head on top of Alexander, causing him to relax even more as he closed his eyes to sleep.
Jace looked up at the sky as he walked towards his clothes, quickly transforming into his human form.
Alexander trailed Jace but remained in his wolf form while Jace wore his clothes.
Alexander shifted into his human form as Jace hid Alexander's body with his jacket once Jace was fully
clothed.
Jace didn't want anyone to see his mate's body, so he covered it. Alexander quickly changed into his
boxers and jeans as Jace took a step back.
Jace stared at Alexander, who quickly wore his shirt and jacket as he smiled at Jace, who returned the
smile.
“I had a lot of fun,” Alexander said as Jace hummed and replied, “It's been so long since we had fun
like this,” while Alexander nodded.
Jace sat on the bench, sighing and rubbing his brow, which worried Alexander.
“What's the matter, babe?” Alexander questioned as he sat on Jace's lap and Jace hugged him.
“I don't know, whatever I do, I always end up worrying about Draco, Loukas, Ronin, and their mates,”
Jace explained as Alexander cupped his cheek and pecked his lips.
“Why don't you tell or ask them?” Alexander inquired. Jace sighed and replied, "I don't know."
Jace's response perplexed Alexander, so he asked again, "What do you mean?" Jace replied, "I feel as
if something is wrong."
“Yeah, something is wrong, and you feel this way because you're afraid Kim, Amy, and Sam will attack
soon,” Alexander explained as Jace shook his head.
As Alexander smiled at Jace, he said, "I don't know, I just don't feel right after I came out of the
dungeon."
"Why don't we go there and see what's bothering you?" Alexander inquired, to which Jace replied,
"Nathanial is there, and he is an asshole who can fool us."
Alexander replied, "Yes, but you've got me by your side, and if you're forgetting, I don't get fooled
easily," as Jace smiled and hummed.
“Cub, he is a witch and can cast a spell on you,” Jace said, as Alexander shook his head and said, “No,
he can't because I am wearing Ruby's special bracelet that protects me from all spells,” as Jace
nodded.
“All right, if that's the case, let's go see what Nathanial is up to.” As Alexander hummed, Jace said,
"Let's go."
As they entered the dungeon, Jace and Alexander held hands and Alexander tightly hugged Jace's
arm.
“What's with all the negative energy?” Alexander asked, feeling dizzy, as Jace shrugged his shoulder.
“I'm not sure, but it wasn't there yesterday,” Jace said as he grabbed Alexander's waist and drew him
closer to himself.
“So, your guess was correct, something did happen,” Alexander said as Jace hummed while staring at
the door, adding, “We need to go inside, and if you want, you can stay here.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“NO, I will accompany you no matter what.” Alexander spoke as he stared at Jace, who smiled and
nodded his head as he said, “All right, let's go.”
As they entered, Jace opened the final door to see the negative energy emitting from Nathanial's
dungeon, which was fully locked.
“DRACO, LOUKAS, RONIN.” After hearing Alexander's yell, Jace quickly turned to see Draco, Loukas,
and Ronin locked up and out of energy in a dungeon room.
Jace noticed an inhibitor collar around their necks, which convinced him that their powers were being
sucked.
Alexander and Jace rushed over to Draco, Loukas, and Ronin as they opened the dungeon door and
entered.
Jace grabbed Alexander's hand and drew him behind him.
“How do we know they are the real ones when Draco, Loukas, and Ronin are also inside the castle?”
Jace questioned as Alexander nodded understandingly.
“How do we know they're your cousins?” Alexander inquired as Jace shrugged his shoulders and
stared at them.
Jace inquired, "What was my first name when I met you?" Draco chuckled in pain as he replied, "D-
Dragon, and you were wearing cat pajamas with a white wolf plushie in your hands," as Jace laughed
and shook his head.
"When I first met you, what was the first thing you said to me?" Jace questioned Loukas, who replied,
"M-Man, you are so s-short, and I want that a-action figure," as Jace smiled and looked at Ronin, who
was breathing heavily, which concerned Jace.
"He was worried about Jewels, so he tried using his powers with the inhibitor, and now he is really
weak," Draco explained as Jace nodded and looked at Alexander, who was kneeling in front of Ronin.
"Was I scared when you guys first rescued me?" Alexander inquired, as Ronin smiled and patted
Alexander's head.
In pain, Ronin stuttered out "Y-you were terrified of us because we were so powerful and tall. You
began to cry, but when I spoke with you, you relaxed "Alexander cast a glance at Jace, who nodded.
"Where did we find Alex?" Jace asked Ronin, who replied, "in the basement and he was locked, and he
was all bruised up, which worried and angered us a lot."
Alexander smiled as he removed Draco's inhibitor, while Draco sighed as he removed Loukas's and
Jace removed Ronin's.
“What happened?” Jace questioned as Draco replied, "Nathanial put a spell on us, and we felt weak
while he walked out of the dungeon and opened the door as three boys from the dungeon who
kidnapped and hurt our mates. They escaped" as Jace's eyes widened.
“I had a feeling something wasn't right last night.” while Alexander sighed sadly.
Loukas said, "Those guys shapeshifted into us, and as a result of that, they got tired and locked us in
here." as Jace groaned.
Alexander's eyes widened as he stood up and yelled, "THOSE SHAPESHIFTERS ARE ALONE IN
THE CASTLE WITH YOUR MATES," as Jace quickly stood up and helped Draco, Loukas, and Ronin
stand.
They quickly exited the castle as they looked at each other, unsure who to rescue first.
“We need to go to Juliet now” Jace spoke as he heard Juliet’s voice in his head calling for help while
Loukas and Draco nodded their heads.
Loukas, Ronin, Draco, Alexander, and Jace went to Juliet first because they were concerned that she
was with a shapeshifter and had no idea.
*******
Juliet entered the room and sighed as she sat on the bed with the shapeshifter who pretended to be
Ronin.
“Everything is a mess,” Juliet sighed as she flopped on the bed, staring at the shapeshifter who
hummed.
“I know, princess, but everything will be fine soon,” the shapeshifter said as he turned around and
smiled at Juliet, who returned his smile.
“Really?” Juliet inquired, and the shapeshifter replied, "Yes," making Juliet happy.
Juliet had no idea that the man in front of her wasn't her mate Ronin, but rather a shapeshifter
pretending to be her mate.
“I just can't wait because we are mated, and mating means marriage,” Juliet said, staring at the
shapeshifter, sensing something was wrong.
“You are entirely correct.” Juliet stared at him, perplexed, as the shapeshifter spoke.
Juliet was well aware and remembered that whenever she flopped on the bed, Ronin flopped with her.
“I want to settle down with you and start a family with you. I had so many plans, and everything has
come to an end because of Amy, Kim, and Sam,” Juliet shrugged as the shapeshifter hummed in
agreement.
As Juliet sat up, perplexed, the shapeshifter said, "I agree with you, but if you want, we can always
have a family now."
“What? But you said it was dangerous,” Juliet stated sternly, to which the shapeshifter replied, “Yes, but
this is what you want,” as Juliet stared at him.
Juliet paused for a moment, looking around, and then said, "Um...I don't know," her doubt confirmed as
she could feel something was seriously not right.
“Let's do it now and start a family.” Juliet stood up as the shapeshifter spoke.
Juliet said, "But..." she couldn't finish her sentence because the shapeshifter cut her off and said, "No
buts, will you say no to your mate?" I thought you adored me and would go to any length for me?”
“I…I…” Juliet stuttered as she looked around, then picked up a bat and pointed it at the shapeshifter.
“YOU ARE NOT MY RONIN BECAUSE MY RONIN WOULD NEVER WANT THIS OR ENDANGER
ME OR MY FUTURE KIDS.” Juliet screamed, her gaze fixed on the shapeshifter, who shook his head.
“I am your Ronin,” the shapeshifter said as Juliet screamed in anger “NO, YOU FAKE ASS BITCH
STAY AWAY FROM ME OR ELSE I WILL CALL JACE AND HE WILL RIP YOUR THROAT APART.”
Juliet was at a loss for what to do because she had no idea where Ronin was, so she turned to Jace for
assistance because she knew she could rely on him.
“GO AHEAD ... CALL HIM” The shapeshifter yelled, bringing Juliet back from her thoughts, as she
yelled “JACE” all scared.
“Oh, look, he isn't here yet,” the shapeshifter said as he transformed back as Juliet realized she was
correct, and he wasn't Ronin.
Juliet was terrified, but she didn't give up hope while she pointed the bat and swung it as she hit the
shapeshifter and stood in the corner once more.
The door busted open as Juliet noticed Ronin standing with Jace, Alexander, Loukas, and Draco.
“RONIN,” Juliet yelled as she threw the bat and ran to him, tears in her eyes, hugging Ronin, who
smiled and hugged her back.
Juliet looked up as her gaze was drawn to Draco and Loukas as she quickly wiped away her tears.
“A-Alyssa and Luna are with the people who look exactly like you,” Juliet said, terrified clutching Draco
and Loukas' hands.
Ronin inquired, "Where did they go, babe?" Juliet replied, "They took them to your rooms because they
said they wanted to discuss something."
Loukas and Draco exchanged glances as they nodded and dashed to their respective rooms to save
their mates.
Juliet saw Draco and Loukas run away to save their mates as she sighed while she hoped they
wouldn't be late.
“I-I was so scared,” Juliet said as she fell to her knees, causing Ronin to sigh as he helped her stand
up.
“It's okay, everything is over now,” Ronin said as he kissed the crown of Juliet's head, who pushed
Ronin away, terrified.
Juliet stuttered, "W-what if you're also a fake Ronin?" I'm looking for my mate and maybe you are not
my Ronin,” Ronin sighed as Alexander held Juliet's hand.
“I went out with Jace to have fun, but he felt uneasy, so I told him to go to the dungeon because he had
been feeling uneasy since last night. Jace was correct; we discovered Ronin, Draco, and Loukas
imprisoned with inhibitor around their necks.” Alexander explained as Juliet sobbed more.
“You need to take care of him because he used his powers a lot just to warn you and rescue you,”
Alexander said as Juliet quickly hugged Ronin, who hugged Juliet back.
“Alex, I'll take care of this guy, and you go to Loukas or Draco right away,” Jace said as Alexander
nodded his head as Jace gripped the prisoner tightly.
Alexander warned, "Be careful because they are very sneaky," as he observed the shapeshifter
attempting to break free but Jace kept a tight grip.
“Don't worry, I put the inhibitor on him, and all the guards are with me,” Jace said as Alexander
hummed and the guards rushed over to grab the shapeshifter.
“When did you call the guards?” Alexander inquired, and Jace replied, "I alerted them through mind link
when we found my cousins. Now go to Loukas and Draco," as Alexander nodded and hugged Jace.
“Yell my name loudly, but if I don't come, just yell my name through mind link if you get into any
trouble,” Jace said as he kissed Alexander's forehead, and Alexander nodded.
“I will and please call me if you need me” Alexander said while Jace winked as he replied, “I always
need you my cub” Alexander giggled shaking his head.
“Stop being cheesy and do your job, idiot,” Alexander said as Jace replied, “Yeah, you go as well”
Alexander cast one last glance at Ronin and Juliet before sprinting towards Loukas.
Jace saw Alexander run away as he turned around while he smirked at the shapeshifter.
Jace used his earth-power to trap the shapeshifters by encircling his body with rocks, making him
unable to move.
The guards took the shapeshifter to the hall and put an inhibitor on him while keeping an eye on him.
Jace rushed over to Ronin when he noticed him laying on the bed with Juliet next to him.
Jace took a deep breath and closed his eyes, sniffing Alexander's scent as he quickly followed his
mate's scent to Loukas' room.
Loukas was concerned for Alyssa, not realizing that Alyssa had not realized the Loukas she was alone
in her room with was a shapeshifter.
