Well, three or four more chapters to go. So, how did we enjoy this baby? And I am guessing that we are ready for the new one that is coming after it?
Valerie: “Hi, baby,” I said, smiling at my little one as she woke up from her sleep. It was around eight in the morning, and though it was a bit early for me to wake up, especially considering the fact that the pack doctors asked me to rest, I still wanted to take the chance to see her. And I knew that she was happy about me being there as I saw her smile and heard her gentle coos of happiness. She looked up at me with big beautiful blue eyes, and I couldn’t help the feeling of contentment that I got, knowing that she was here in my arms, safe at last. And though a part of me knew that Alaric ensured her safety, something in me was never going to be content when it came to the fact that my child was not in my arms, and I knew that everyone that knew us understood that. Alessandro, who was in the changing room when I got out of bed, walked inside her nursery and raised an amused eyebrow. It made my heart swell, but I was more than a little happy to know that we were finally home and
Alessandro: It took everything in me not to avoid my mate’s eyes as I spoke to her. I didn’t even know how to describe what I felt, but it seemed to me that she understood everything that I wanted to tell her, without the need of me actually voicing it out. “Leonardo and I grew up together, literally. Mom used to change both our diapers, I didn’t even think, not for a second, that this would have come out of him.” I said, and she nodded. “I cheated on Rheniera, in theory at least, with Daniella. I don’t even know how I was able to look her in the eye when I heard of what Daniella was doing, and the worst part about it was the fact that I didn’t even know why she would be doing so. I didn’t hurt her, I was sure never to do so, at least, before I met you.” The fact that I slept with Valerie was something that I regretted when it happened, and though I am more than a little thankful for my mate and for my daughter; I knew that it wasn’t something that I would want for my daughter to b
Valerie:Alessandro wrapped his arms around me, turning me around before he laid me back on the pillow.He connected his lips with mine in a kiss that made my chest swell before he pulled away to rest his forehead against mine as he grinded against me.I knew that this was not something that he expected to hear from me after the conversation that the two of us just had. But I knew one thing, and it was me wanting to be his and wanting him to be mine. At this point, it wasn’t something that I had to ask, and it wasn’t something that I had to tell anyone against. He looked me in the eye as he pulled away from me, and for a second, I felt like I was a virgin who was going to have her virginity taken. The nervousness that I felt was one that I could tell Alessandro saw in my gaze, and I couldn’t help but blush when he chuckled and leaned in to kiss my forehead.“If you want me to stop or if you are having your doubts…”I shook my head in response. If anything, I wanted this more than eve
Alessandro: I ran my finger over Valerie’s bare shoulder, smiling as I looked down at her as she slept in my arms. The fact that she was now officially mine was something that made my heart swell in ways that I never thought possible. To say the least, I knew that I got everything that I could have ever wished for, and I knew that my wolf was more than just a little content with everything that had happened. I leaned in and kissed her shoulder gently, letting my lips linger there for a few seconds before I put the blanket over her shoulder, covering her. Everything that happened up to this point played in my head, and I got up from the bed, knowing that tomorrow was going to be the third full moon after finding out about everyone’s lie and scandals. I never did expect to find myself being allies with those that I thought were my enemies, and not for one second did I consider that my best friend and ex lover, regardless of when it had happened, would turn their backs on me the way
Valerie: I smiled as I looked at myself in the mirror, my heart skipping a beat at the sight of myself in my wedding dress. I put my hand on my stomach as Rheniera, the last person that I expected to be the best friend that would be by my side through it all, helped me with my veil. “You look beautiful.” She said, making my heart swell. “Do you think that he is going to like it?” I asked, feeling somewhat insecure for a moment. The fact that I knew that I would be walking down the aisle alone was not something that I was going to deny. I neither had a brother or father to do it by my side, but I knew that even if they were alive, neither one of them was going to be there for me today. “He is going to be a blind man if he doesn’t find you as gorgeous tonight.” Alaric’s voice caught me off guard as he walked inside the room. Rheniera smiled at the sight of her brother, and he walked toward us, looking at me. “You look like a beautiful princess. Though most would be fooled by the t
Valerie:“Where the fuck?” I asked, frowning in confusion as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. “Good morning,” he said, entering the room. His blue eyes met my green orbs and I couldn’t help but frown in confusion as I tried to remember where I was or how I got here.“I was drunk, wasn’t I?” I asked, and the man smiled, putting a cup of coffee on the bedside table beside me. I looked down at it for a second before turning to face him. My heart raced and I couldn’t help but frown as my blood boiled. I grabbed the cup, and the man chuckled before wrapping his hand around my wrist.“Not so fast, huntress.” He said, and I let the cup go, knowing that I would be harming myself if I choose to do anything too rushed. He took a step back, and I covered my body with the blanket as he kept his eyes on mine. “Or should I say, mate?”“There is no…”“Believe it or not, as much as feeding my wolf’s hunger was tempting as I felt you, this was the last thing that I wanted to find myself dealing with.
Alessandro:“I am fine, baby, I just had a few things to work on and had to sleep in the hotel.” I said, assuring my girlfriend through the phone. The fact that she was the one who called and woke me up was something that took me by surprise, and I was thankful for the fact that the huntress didn’t wake up when the phone rang. Otherwise, I might have had to deal with more shit than I could handle from Daniella, my woman, and that wasn’t something that I wanted.“You could have at least called me, Alessandro. I stayed up almost all night waiting for you.” She said, and I purred, knowing that she liked it when I did that. “I know, baby girl, I was just a little too busy.” I said, and she hummed. “I’ll see you when I get home, yeah?”“As if you have another choice.” She said, making me chuckle. I knew that I was going to need to take a shower before I saw her. The last thing that I needed was to have her catching a different female scent on me. It was a risk that I was not willing to ta
Valerie:“Where the hell were you last night?” Vadim asked, snapping at me and I raised an eyebrow. The fact that the man was in my apartment was confusing enough as it was, and to think that he was asking such a question was even weirder.“I doubt that I need to answer to you at the age of twenty-six, do I?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. I was forcing myself to ignore the clench that I felt in my chest as anger boiled through every cell in my body, and though I didn’t even understand why I was feeling this way because of a wolf, I knew to keep it quiet. “I waited for you almost all night only to find out that you went clubbing…”“Again, I don’t need to answer to you, Vadim.” I said, reminding him of his limit. The man was my twin, and though we were both close, I hated when he tried shoving his nose in what didn’t concern him. “I’m sorry,” he said, avoiding my eyes. “I was worried when I didn’t find you in the house and when I found out that you were clubbing at the wolf

Alessandro: If anyone would have told me that I was going to be happy seeing the Lycan alive, I would have punched them in the face. But when my mate ran to him, wrapping her arms around him, hugging him as if he was the one person that she wanted to see right now, I couldn’t help but find myself smiling. Both of them pulled away, and I watched as Valerie stepped back for a second, looking at him before he raised her pendant. “You had one wish when I stole it, and it came true.” He said, looking her in the eye. He wiped her tears before looking at me, and I smiled and nodded. “If I am alive today, it is because you truly didn’t want me dying.” “How would I want you dead when I knew that you were giving your life up for me?” She asked, and I looked at the man. “For me to live, you chose to burn alive. You asked me to go back to Alessandro, and I knew for a fact that he was the last person that you would have wanted me to go back to. You put me first, and…” “And I would do it aga
Valerie: Had I been told that the man would have done this I wouldn’t have allowed him to. Hell, I wasn’t going to be taking part in this in the first place. His mum’s pain made my stomach churn and it took everything in me not to vomit at the sight of her crying the way that she was. It hurt me more than I was able to let out, and that was something that I knew that my mate saw. Kai and Arianna stood a step back, and I knew that even they were in pain. Whatever was going on with them, and the damage that they had with their mothers, they both left them without an explanation to why anything was happening, and I knew firsthand what it was to have so many questions that wouldn’t be answered. Dean and Nicholas rushed toward us just as Dante and Aurora reached us, and I couldn’t help but find myself looking away at the sight of blood that each one of them had on his body. “Valerie?” Dante asked, and I squeezed my eyes shut as I found myself thinking of how the man had burned himself
Alessandro:I wrapped my arm around Rheniera, pulling her from the man that nearly stabbed her chest before breaking his back, causing him to fall to the ground.Her eyes were wide in surprise, and I looked her in the eye, wanting to see whether or not she was hurt; but I was thankful when she nodded in thanks, letting me know that she was okay.It wasn’t until an eclipse made the sky red that we all stopped. My chest ached, and I couldn’t help but find myself knowing what that meant. The idea of her not walking out of that building was one that I’ve been trying to distract myself from for the past few hours as we fought, but now that we were going to have to deal with it; I didn’t know how I was supposed to react. Rheniera, catching the pain in my eyes, put her hand on my shoulder, squeezing it in assurance, and I put mine on her hand, hoping for the best of this to come. Men fought, others ran, and I knew that we were going to have to go through this and we were going to have to en
Valerie: I looked through the portal that Esther opened for us, and knowing that I was going to go in there to face everything that I once knew was not something that I wanted to deal with. It pained me to go against my mother but I also knew that if things were to proceed this way, then I was going to have to end them the way that I knew best. And that was going to be with the fire that I was born with. Alaric looked at me, and for a second, I couldn’t help but find myself being thankful for him being by my side. To say the least, I knew that Alessandro would have weakened me, he was my weak spot, and I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to do anything with him being by my side. I was going to be scared of something happening to him in the process, and that was going to be more of a distraction for me, and I knew that he understood that very well. The idea of my daughter being away from me was something that broke me inside too, and I had to admit, I was counting the minutes for t
