I’m running…I’m running as fast as I can. I don’t know who he is, but the terror in my heart is too great to be ignored. It’s raining and I’m freezing from the cold, my clothes are drenched from the heavy downpour, but I can’t think about that right now because he is so close, his footsteps keep getting closer and the more he got closer to me, the more terrified I become.I’ve never been so cold and scared before, The rain is whipping and I feel a sense of loss so heavy that it mulls on my heart. I could hear voices around, it seems like everyone is running away from an imminent danger, but not this guy. No, he wasn’t scared of anything and his only wish is to find me.“Give me that ornament, you wench!” The sound of his voice makes me shiver in fear. His aura is intimidating and scary. So scary, I could feel it as I run away from him. I can tell from his compelling aura that he is not an ordinary werewolf. He is of high rank, he could be an Alpha or Beta, I really can’t say and I’m
Valerie’s POVBeep! Beep! Beep! Beep!“No… No… No… No…”I complained in frustration as the noisy alarm clock on my table vibrated continuously. I reached out and tried to turn it off, but I only succeeded in knocking it off the table.Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!It rang on from the floor, blaring louder with every ring. I had no choice I simple had to stand up and turn it off quickly before it wakes anyone else. Today is not the day to annoy Charlotte or anyone else for that matter. Its bad enough that Charlotte and I would be going to the same school. I’ve dreaded this moment ever since our mom told me that I would be going to college with Charlotte this year.“I should have killed you when I had the chance, Valerie. People are beginning to ask too many questions about you, they want to know why my adopted daughter is working as a slave while my kids are going to school. I wish I can get rid of you without traces, but now I’m forced to approve of you going to college. You are a shame to
Mavericks POVMy name is Maverick Huntington, and I am the Alpha of the Blue moon pack. I am a descendant of Hunter Huntington, the last true Alpha king. “It sounds great right?”Yeah, it should. I am a true Alpha and I am supposed to be the king of all Alphas. But that is mere wishful thinking. I am a wolfless Alpha. I do not have the strength of an Alpha and my wolf is lying dormant within me. It all started with a prophecy and a curse...Many years ago, the Salutary wolves delve into magic and sorcery. They weren’t supposed to, But they did, and it cost them their lives and their gift. Because of the mistakes of my family, the moon goddess placed a curse on us, a curse that made us weak and vulnerable. A curse that can never be broken, unless the prophecy is fulfilled. The curse does not involve the Lycans, they have their supernatural abilities, and that is why they control us.I have been away from the pack for nearly ten years, I had to attend the Academy of Alphas/Betas, that
Valerie’s POVI was packing up used dishes, and dirty laundry around the house, taking them back to the kitchen and laundry room where am still going to wash them, then I felt Malia stirring restlessly in my hard. I could feel a slight shiver in my bones and the hair on my back stood in fear, warning me of an imminent danger.I could have ignored the warning and continued with my work but I just couldn't. Malia always acts this way when I’m about to be attacked. I should have been used to all this by now, I should even be able to anticipate their attacks without Malia's warnings. But I always make the same mistake, I keep doubting Malia and second guessing myself. Before I could react, before I could turn around to check my surrounding, it is always too late. When I turned around, I came face to face with the demoness herself, Charlotte. Her eyes glowed with an evil glint. It’s easy to tell that she has some mean tricks up her sleeve. “Good Mooorrrnnning, sweet sis. How was your nig
Mavericks POVToday is the day that I will finally get my hands on those scrolls. The sorcerers were in that basement doing whatever it is that they always come here to do. It has already been established that only the king and his sorcerers can gain access to that basement, I had to wait for the king to join them in the basement before I could sneak into the palace building. I had to wait for Beverly in her room, I waited for a good few minutes, but she didn’t show up. She left me a message to tell me to wait a little while for her. From her message, it seems like she was attending to some personal matters, or so she claimed. For all I know she could be screwing one of the other Alphas that graces her bed constantly. She is such an insatiable whore!But I waited anyway, I need to get this over with, this is my only chance to steal that scroll and find out why the lycan king has been hiding it from is all along. I got a text from Leroy, he informed me that the king has left the meeti
Five Years Later,Valerie’s POVLife as an independent adult away from her family and friends was not easy. In fact, it was harder than I’d ever imagined and it was humbling. If only I had someone to call family. Janelle and her family were the closest I came to having a family. I couldn’t live in their house because her parents would never take me in if they get to find out that I ran away from home. Besides, I always feel weird whenever I’m around them, it felt like their wolves was calling out to me, begging me to set them free. They feel it too, I can see it in their eyes, but they have no idea what they are feeling, they have no idea that I have a beast within me that is begging to be let loose.I had to avoid living with them, I turned down every offer from Janelle to help me get a family to live with. I used part of the money I got from Liam to get a little a little apartment that just manageable and cheap. I know I would have gotten more assistance from Liam, he cares so much
Mavericks POVFive Years…For five solid years, King Gerald had me and my Beta locked away in his dungeon. He made sure I had no visitors, not even my parents. I was starved and tortured me like a fucking criminal, and every often, his sorcerers come here to visit, and they catty out some crazy examination on me, trying to find out if I had anything to do with the missing scroll. No matter how hard they try, they still couldn’t find anything in me, and their feedback to the king is the same as always, they blame it on the moon goddess, and they warn the king to stop trying to challenge the will of the moon goddess, but the asshole refused to listen to them. No matter what they said to him, he still believed that I had something to do with the scroll, and he vowed to get it out of me, “I know you did it, Maverick Huntington. I know it was you, and I’m going to get it out of you, and I'll end your pathetic life!” he threatens me always. I never bothered about his threats because I know
Valerie’s POV“I’m sorry Alpha. Please forgive her, she is only a human.” Mr. Dawson pleaded on my behalf, acting like a fucking lapdog. I never knew that he is the Alpha that everyone is talking about. And even if I knew he was the one, there is absolutely nothing that I could do about it because there is no way to remedy this situation. I made a mistake,No,What the hell am I even saying?We both made the mistake, so I don’t know why he is looking like an angry bird. We can just let it go and move on with our lives as if it never happened, but he isn’t ready to let go. Even after getting an apology from the manager, he still glared furiously at me. I know I should feel remotes because I just spilled drinks on the Alpha of this pack. But I don’t feel remorseful, I feel no pity for him. In fact, I think he deserves to have drinks spilled on him on a daily basis. He is such an arrogant and proud asshole. I owe him no apology.“Let her speak for her, Dawson!She has a mouth, doesn’t sh
Valerie’s POV“Wake up, sleepy head. It’s almost noon!” Maverick nudged me, trying to get me to wake up.“Go away, I just fell asleep an hour ago!” I respond sleepily, hearing him laugh so hard that you would think that he was at a comedy show.“And what were you doing all night?” He teased me, coming up to lay beside me on the bed, pulling me into his arms, and kissing me so passionately. “You’ve got your answer, Mav. You are the reason I was awake all night. Now fuck off, I need to sleep.” I responded sleepily, turning away from him, but he pulled me back into his arms, trapping me between his legs, kissing me more fervently with his hands on my boobs. He held me so close, letting me feel his erection. His hands on my body, and his lips on mine are enough to wipe the sleep off.“Don’t be like that, my love. I’m only trying to grant your wishes, besides, you weren’t complaining last night, were you?All day and all night, I’ll be here to protect you, I’ll never leave your side, my l
Mavericks POV“We don’t have time to argue and fight, they are so close to finding us. If we ever want to break the curse, it’s now or never!” Devon let out firmly, leaving no room for argument. I tipped my head to gaze at her curiously, trying to figure out what she meant when she said it was now or never. At that moment, we heard an explosion from the other side of the basement, and I know immediately that she is right this time. If we don’t get it done right now, we may never have the chance to be in this basement again because they would have brought it down with their explosives.“Follow my lead and chant with me,” she ordered Val, sounding a bit bossy, or is that fear I hear in her voice?“No, Dev. I need you to follow our lead, and I need you to keep shut and observe. I would tell you when it’s time to chant the spell of compassion to the moon.” Val told her firmly, making her a bit shocked. She thought Valerie is just a child that knows nothing about the healers and their ways
Still Devon’s POV“What the hell, Devon!Why would you barge in on us like that?You scared the hell out of me, what is wrong with you?” Maverick asked me angrily when I used open the door and walked in without prior notice. Hell, I didn’t even knock to alert them of my presence because I’m so fucking mad at them. Could you believe that while I was being chased by Harold Armstrong and King Gerald, these two were in this basement having so much fun, screwing their brains out. Like, how could they be comfortably banging each other when the world is about to end. I know this is necessary for the ritual to work, their mating and bonding is part of the ritual and that is why I stood out there waiting for them to be done with it. But they just wouldn’t stop, they kept going on and on and on, and even when they heard the sounds coming from the other end of the basement, they still wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t wait any longer it seems they can’t get enough of each other, and even if I stand out
Devon POV“Leave and never look back again.”That was the plan when I left that garage. I felt so embarrassed to be outsmarted by that child. She knows nothing about magic, she is not worthy. I can be a better sorcerer, I am the last witch and I have what it takes to stop this war. But her pride and greed got the better of her, or maybe it is because she has fallen deeply in love with Maverick. I don’t know what her reasons are, but she wouldn’t give up her powers to me, even if she knows that she can not perform the ritual on her own, when doesn’t even know the words of the spell.Yet she refused…“The only reason you are still breathing is because of the bond we share. Unlike you, I still try to play by the rules. I know it’s a crime if I take the life of another shapeshifter or human. So I’m going to say this only once, and I hope you don’t let me repeat myself. Let my words sink into that thick skull of yours. It’s either you join our team or you fuck off, stick with me or stay the
Still Valerie’s POVHis mouth left my nipples, moving up to my neck, I felt his canines on my marking spot, making me see stars, and that is when the real magic occurred…First, I saw stars, I mean, that's all it took to push me down the edge, making me gush more of my sweet juices between my thighs. Then we heard howls in the air like all the wolves suddenly woke up from their slumber. The howls kept coming from different directions, sounding so blissful to the ears. It felt like nothing I’d heard before, the howls wouldn’t stop sounding. When one stopped, another picked up from there, and they howled to the moon, making the moment more blissful and magical. It’s not night yet, and the moon is not yet out. But I can feel the presence of the moon already, and bi knows we must be doing it right because I feel so relieved already. It felt like a huge weight has just been lifted off my shoulders. I wanted to know what was happening out there, I want to see if the howls were coming from t
Valerie’s POVHe’s been acting so beautifully since we had that little talk. We bared our hearts to each other, and now we can see that our bond is stronger than it used to be. In fact, now I understand why it took me little time to settle in nicely in this city. This is my city, my home, and it’s so good to be back here with my memories intact. It’s all coming back to me, it’s now beginning to make sense in my head. After shopping for everything we needed, I led him to a secret entrance to the basement and he was so who led because he had no idea that this place existed.I smiled in amazement as I imagined myself playing in these woods as a child. I even saw my mom walking excitedly in this courtyard as she performed her rituals as if her life depended on it. There were other kids in this courtyard with me. I’m guessing they are my sibling or just friend. But we were all happy together and we watched in awe as our parents carry out some experiments with magic.“This is so beautiful, m
Still Mavericks POVCenturies ago, Lakewood and Woodbridge were not separate, it was just huge city that is densely populated by both humans and Werewolves. The lycans and vampires did not allow humans to live around them. We could accommodate the humans because they were of help to us after we lost our powers. We needed the numbers because we couldn’t defend ourselves from all our numbers enemies.We lived peacefully with the humans, my great-grandfather was king and we had the most beautiful pack house in all of the city. Our pack lived in Lakewood, and the mayor's mansion used to be our pack house before we were kicked out of the damn city. The other Alphas moved away after we were cursed by the moon goddess, but we refused to move away because we need to preserve our heritage. The packhouse held many secrets and secret powers that could never be replaced or abandoned.Woodbridge used to be a little city outside our city. It was at Woodbridge that the healers settled in. I could rem
Mavericks POVAt first, I was pissed, I was so fucking pissed, like what the hell is wrong with her, why would she tell me to ditch my guards, is she a traitor or a spy, did king Gerald get to her before me, has she been deceiving me all this while?I had too many questions on my mind, but no answer because I simply don’t know why she is sounding so crazy when our lives are in danger. I guess she was right when she said that I don’t trust her. The truth is that I don’t believe that she is capable of breaking this curse. To me, she is still that naïve girl that didn’t even know her true identity. I’m in being completely honest, I would admit that a part of me wanted her to relinquish her powers to Devon the white witch. I don’t know why I suddenly have this doubt within me, maybe Devon's words are getting to me the wrong way. In any case, I think Devon was right when she said that Val is not fit to wield such power. She knows absolutely nothing about magic and her gifts, she only relies
Still Valerie’s POV “Damn! This is bad! I’m literally shaking in fear, Malia. Are you sure we can do this, are we ready for this?” I asked my wolf, but she wouldn’t say a word to me. I nearly scream in rage as she ignored me, sometimes she can be so damn annoying. I’m sure she would have responded so quickly if this question was being asked by Maverick or his wolf, Hunter. She makes it look like I'm the stupid one who doesn’t understand how the mating bond works. Yeah, while that may be true, I still need to get her to listen to me and speak to me like she used to when it was just both of us. But she couldn’t care less about my feelings, she doesn’t even care if I’m jealous of her relationship with Hunter and Maverick. She still does everything to please and satisfy her mate, and when I get bored or scared and begin asking my many questions, all she would say to me is, “You are stronger than you can ever imagine. You haven’t discovered all your abilities yet because you don’t let
