Mavericks POVHunter alerted me that my mate is in trouble. It’s a good thing that I am the owner of this building, and I have access to everything around here, including the security cameras. When I felt him being cranky, I knew it has got to be pretty serious, so I took out my iPad and I searched for her all over the building, I even went as far as searching all the private showrooms to see if she was giving a striptease to a client as usual, but I couldn’t find her anywhere in the building. Suddenly, I had a hunch that she could be outside the building. I don’t even know if it is my hunch or a tip from Hunter, but I decided to view the cameras outside. Behold, There she was, in the parking lot, creating a scene as usual. Of all the people to pick up a fight with, it just had to be Cameron. I think she is a magnet for trouble, she has a way of attracting unwarranted attention to herself. And if she is not careful about it, she is going to get us both killed. The fact that she is n
Valerie’s POV“Due to the arrival of the CEO, we are currently cutting down on our workforce and rebranding the business. Your services are no longer required in this company, Mia.You are fired!” I kept reading his message over and over again, trying to figure out what is going on. We have cameras all over the building, I’m sure that they would have watched the recording and seen that it wasn’t my fault. She came at me, she fucking pushed, all I did is evade her attacks, I never laid a finger on her, I never even wanted to stand there and exchange words with that stupid bitch, then why the hell am I being fired?I tried calling Mr. Dawson a couple of times, but he wasn’t taking my calls. I called Janelle, and all she could say is that there is nothing she can do about it tonight because she is still on duty and the manager had refused to see her or speak with her. I couldn’t possibly go back there tonight, I’m too exhausted to do anything tonight. I just have to wait until tomorrow,
Still Valeria’s POVI tried so hard to come up with a better plan to solve my problems, but it seems as if the universe is against me. Everything is just going the wrong way, nothing seems to be working for me anymore…I spent a few hours with Janelle, she kept trying to convince me to come to the Alphas welcome party and apply for a position in the company. I think she is going crazy, there is absolutely no way that Alpha Maverick would let me work with him, not after I spilled drinks on him and assaulted his betrothed. If anything, he would even have me locked up. She kept singing his praise, trying to convince me to work in his company. With the way she is seriously marketing the Alpha to me, you would think that she has been paid to bring me to that party. She wanted to take me there at all costs, but I’m not willing to be bullied by anyone Besides, I don’t think I should be anywhere near the gorgeous Alpha at this moment. I tend to lose control of my hormones whenever he is arou
Still Valerie’s POVJanelle called and took me out of the house, and we met with a few of her friends along the way. They are werewolves too, I can smell it on them. I’ve never had time to meet with these girls, I practically spend all my time at work and in school. Who would’ve ever thought that I would still be fired after putting in so much effort in that damn job. I wish I’d never worked there in the first place, I wish I never crossed paths with Alpha Maverick.I think I’m the only one who thinks the Alpha is a jerk. Every other girl here wishes to be in Cameron’s shoes. They would give anything to be by his side. I’m amazed at the way these girls are spending so much money on themselves, just to look good for that rude Alphas party. For crying out loud, the guy is betrothed, he has no time to fool around with anyone of them and even if he did, I’m sure they would most likely get bored with his arrogant attitude.First, Janelle dragged me to the spa for professional head-to-toe m
Mavericks POVYou have no fucking idea how I feel right now. My mate, my Luna is walking towards me, with her arm locked in a guy's hand, smiling excitedly and looking so beautiful. You know, I didn’t see her at first, I mean, I wasn’t even looking out for her, I was not expecting to see her here tonight, not after all the things she has been through today. I was doing my normal duties at the entrance to the banquet hall, I had to show respect to the highest-ranked werewolves by personally welcoming them into my banquet hall. Cameron insisted on standing beside me tonight, she has always loved being in the spotlight, she keeps perching around me like a fucking leech. I would have sent her away this time, I know I am never going to mate with her, I never had any feelings for her in e first place. But I need to keep her close by to avoid suspicion. I’ve always let her hang around me all the time. If I stop doing it now, it will raise a whole lot of questions that I am not yet ready to
Still Mavericks POVI almost laughed out loud when I looked at Dominic’s innocent face. He has no idea that he has been used. When I first told him that I wanted this place to be used for the new hospital, I knew it was going to be the perfect spot because I have already analyzed it carefully before making my decision. But I know the people would still want to hear a few words from him because he is the doctor after all, so he is expected to know more about the hospital than I do. I had him make a short video to assure everyone that we got the perfect spot for the new hospital. To be honest, I never thought I would be using this video to destroy his relationship with my mate. I had no idea that he even had a relationship with her, I never even thought that they would come together to my party and flirt shamelessly in front of me. He has no idea that I chose that building to hurt her, he doesn’t even know that she lives there. I’m sure he would have said something if he did, he certai
Valerie’s POVHis lips were soft, almost silken, and pillowy against my own. I could feel the soft tickle of his breath beneath my nose, his fingers carding through my hair as we breathed each other in. Our bodies pressed together heatedly against the wall, breathing heavily as our lips pressed together. I could taste our shared breath, and feel the thud of our combined heartbeat as we fumbled and groped at each other.His lips were warm and soft. I loved the warmth he provided me, and I melted in his arms, and I parted my lips slightly, allowing his tongue to slip inside, and he prodded my mouth, searching every corner, sucking my tongue and lips. Our tongues tangled and went to war in our locked mouths, battling madly for dominance, with him winning obviously.It went on for a few minutes, w both lost track of time, and we let ourselves to be pulled in by our desires. We only parted for air, then he moved his lips down to my neck and he dropped light feathery kisses down my neck, se
Still Valerie’s POVI couldn’t help shaking my head at her, she is so unbelievable. What is so special about this guy, why are they hell-bent on getting him to notice them. I guess they have no idea that he is a fucking asshole. They must be drawn to him by his good looks and position. Yes, he is so cute, but I can’t throw myself at him this way, he ain’t worth it. If I’m given the chance to pick, I would pick the blue envelope. That would get me a job now, and that would keep me far away from Mr. grumpy, silly Alpha. I would have even preferred to work in the other buildings that are under construction. But I can’t stay jobless and wait for them to finish building it. I need a job as soon as possible. So while the other girls are praying for a white envelope, I am busy praying for a blue one.I felt that tingling on my skin once more, and I knew without being told that he is the one, he must be staring at me again. I’m beginning to think that he likes this game he is playing with me
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
