Valerie's POV
I ignored every threat and warning Alpha Ronald was giving to me as I followed the stranger to the dance floor. "Who are you?" I asked, the moment he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me close. I could already feel the sparks of the mate bond the moment I touched him, but now, I felt like I was going to explode from it. "My name is Niklaus Blackthorn, CEO of Blackthorn automobiles, and the Alpha of the Crescent wolves." Alpha? My heart thudded loudly. Why was I mated to two Alphas? "I am an omega." I knew that he would already figure it out from my scent, but I wanted to tell him myself. Most Alphas would want nothing to do with omegas, and they might even feel insulted to be mated to one, just like Alpha Ronald. From the corners of my eyes, I noticed that almost everyone was staring at us. I knew that it was mostly because of Alpha Niklaus and his compelling presence. "And what is an omega doing here?" He spun me around, and I ended up with my back against his chest, his hand still around my waist as we swayed to the music. Goddess! His scent was intoxicating, and I was beginning to feel light headed. "I scented you." I spun my way around to face him again. I was staring at him, hoping that he would acknowledge the fact that we were mates, my heart thudding loudly at the fear of his rejection. We spun again, but instead of me to end up in his arms, someone else dragged me, and I found myself dancing with Alpha Ronald. 'You disobeyed me.' 'He asked me to dance with him.' He frowned. 'And I ordered you not to. Look at the way his hands were all over you. Next thing you know, he would be fucking you.' I did my best to hide my disgust. I always knew that he was sick in the head. He spun me around, his hands gripping my waist tightly, almost bruising me. I jerked forward in fright when I felt his erection poking my ass. 'I will teach you a lesson.' Another spin, and I found myself back at Alpha Niklaus' arms. "You don't seem alright. Is there a problem?" "Take me out of here, please." I begged him, my hands now around his neck, clinging onto him desperately. "Is he hurting you?" He asked me in a whisper. No one had ever asked me that before, and I had not dared to say it out. I knew no one would save me. The Alpha was the most powerful man in this pack, and no one would go against him. But this man... I noticed that even Alpha Ronald seemed to respect him. He could save me. So I nodded at him. "Once I goes back into the room, I will be locked up." The music ended at that moment, and just like the other men, Alpha Niklaus bowed to me, making me blush. He took my hand and was leading me out of the ballroom when Alpha Ronald blocked our path. He smiled at Alpha Niklaus, but it was obvious that it was forced. "You seem to be attached to the Omega." "She is a rather interesting one if you ask me. She is quite the charmer." "I believe she is. But I want a moment with her. Now." Alpha Niklaus smiled. "Oh, but I am still having my moment with her." "Only a moment." He pleaded, but I knew that he was fuming inside. Alpha Niklaus turned to me. "It depends on her. Do you want to go with him, Love?" 'You better bring your ass here and stop fooling around with him, before he fucks you.' Alpha Ronald yelled in my head, and I flinched at the intensity of his voice. "Alpha..." I called out, my voice shaking. "I want to go with Alpha Niklaus." "YOU HAVE NO FUCKING RIGHT..." He began to yell in his rage, but when he noticed that he was drawing attention, he calmed down. "You have no fucking right to decide anything or go anywhere when I say otherwise. Now leave him and go to your room." Out of the fear I was already accustomed to, I left Alpha Niklaus' hand and made to leave, but the Alpha took my hand again and pulled me to himself. "Do you fancy this Omega, Alpha?" Alpha Niklaus asked. "Hell no! She is just an Omega." "Then why are you so adamant?" Alpha Ronald clenched his jaw. "She has work to do." "Why does she have a room in the pack house? You just asked her to go to her room." "You are undermining my authority in my own pack, Alpha Ronald. You are going against the protocol that bind us all." Alpha Ronald said, loud enough for everyone to yell. The other Alphas, Lunas, Betas and everyone present turned to us, and Alpha Niklaus had no choice but to leave me, and I felt the cold of his absence immediately. Alpha Ronald took my hand and dragged me out of the ballroom. I thought he was going to order the guards to escort me and lock me up, but instead, he dragged me to his room himself. My heart was heavy and squeezing in pain. This was an opportunity I had not had in three years, and it just slipped out of my fingers. Just like that. Now we were alone in the room, the door locked and no where for me to escape to. My other mate wasn't even looking for me. I was an Omega, why would he bother? Alpha Ronald walked over, closing the distance between us. He grabbed the back of my head in a tight grip and crushed his lips against mine. He was kissing me so roughly, bruisingly, I couldn't breath, but he wouldn't stop. I began to hit him. "Please, Alpha please." "It seems you have forgotten who owns you." I whimpered, trying to get out of his hold, but he was too strong for me. "I can't breathe. Please Alpha." Now the tears was streaming down my face. I felt so helpless. Why was I given such a mate? Mates were meant to love and protect each other, but mine kept shredding my soul. He grabbed one of my breasts, roughly squeezing it. "Stop it please." I cried weakly, no longer having the strength to fight him. He suddenly stopped and pulled away, and I guessed that he had gotten a mindlink. "I will be back to finish with you." He then dragged me to the bathroom, pushed me inside it and locked the door. I was alone again, hopeless and helpless. I rested my back on the door, before slumping gown and burying my face in my hands. Then I cried.Niklaus' POVSince the moment I stepped into this pack house, I had not been myself. I was smelling something, and I knew what it was. The scent of a mate. That was something I didn't expect, and I was not even looking forward to. I was a very busy Alpha, and I believed that a mate would only be a distraction to my meticulous and carefully planned out life. I tried to ignore the scent, even if it was driving me insane. The mate pull was stronger for Alphas.But then, the scent began to draw closer, until I sighted her, not too tall, dark skin with voluptuous curly hair, a picture of beauty and elegance, yet she was a bundle of nerves, looking so unsure of herself as she stepped in. I couldn't ignore her anymore, and I had no choice but to ask her for a dance.Now, seeing how she was being treated here by Alpha Ronald made my blood boil. I didn't know what they had between them, but I intend to find out.Alpha Ronald had taken her away some moments ago, but I could still smell her.I d
Valerie's POV I was stunned beyond words when I heard Alpha Niklaus admit to the other Alphas that I was his mate. I thought he would be ashamed of being mated to an Omega. Alpha Ronald was ashamed, and he told no one about it. He even warned me never to mention it to anyone."You are fucking lying!" Alpha Ronald yelled, a growl rumbling out of his chest.I knew that he would not believe Alpha Niklaus because he would not think that I had two mates. It was not unheard of though, but it was very rare."You can ask her." Alpha Niklaus stated, making every eye turn to me inquisitively. "What I want to know is why my mate was locked up, not just in his room, but his bathroom? You were hurting her, weren't you?"There was a collective gasp from the people surrounding us, and most of them seemed confused by the whole dilemma."First of all, she is not your fucking mate..."Alpha Ronald was not done talking when I interrupted him. "He is my mate."I looked into his eyes, and I saw the shock
Valerie's POV I was couped up in a soft sofa in Alpha Niklaus' room, quietly munching on the chocolates and cookies he gave me. My eyes would occasionally roam around the room, as I was still in awe of how luxurious it looked. The majestic bed four poster bed in the middle of the very spacious room was the most eye catching thing there, closely followed by the beautiful art works on the wall. The Alpha must have a thing for arts and paintings. I had one of my legs down, my feet brushing against the cream coloured carpet, so soft against my feet. I could lie on it. To my left was glass doors that led to a balcony that gave a wonderful view of the pack's ground. I would had loved to explore there, but I didn't want to overstep. Everywhere I looked was a testament of Alpha Niklaus' wealth, and his impeccable taste. He didn't spare anything in getting his suite to look this classy. "You know you are actually free to get up and walk around if you like." The Alpha's voice startled me.
Valerie's POV I woke up to find myself in Alpha Niklaus' bed. The moment I realized where I was, I jumped out of the bed."Whoa! Slow down."I found Alpha Niklaus seated at one corner of the room, in front of a table. It seemed like he was busy before, but he turned to me."Good morning, Alpha.""Niklaus." He corrected me."That might take a while for me to get used to." I admitted, feeling shy.He gave me a once over, and I was reminded that I was still wearing his shirt. I didn't change out of it last night even after Carrie brought me clothes. I liked his scent on me anyway."Are there other people in the pack apart from your Beta, Gamma and Carrie?" I asked curiously. He didn't introduce me to anyone else."They are a lot more you have not met. It is your choice if you want to meet them or not.""Do they know that I am your mate?" I asked curiously, and he chuckled."Since the moment I introduced you as my mate in front of the Blood moon pack house and all those Alphas, everyone
Valerie's POVCarrie and I were strolling around the pack ground. We weren't saying anything, and I didn't have anything to say to her either. But I preferred her silence to the breakfast table earlier."What do you think of Alpha Niklaus?" She finally asked me, and I turned to her."He has been good to me ever since we met." I smiled, thinking of it. I still didn't know what my plans were for our relationship, or maybe I had no plans at all.At first, I just saw him as the key to my freedom. I wanted him to help me escape Alpha Ronald, and then we would go our separate ways. I was just taken aback by how accepting he was of my Omega status."So any plans of getting a new Luna?" Carrie asked."You are getting a new Luna?"She rolled her eyes. "You are our Alpha's mate. Isn't it obvious that I am referring to you?"Me? A Luna? A small chuckle escaped my lips. "No, no. There is no plan. I am an omega."She rolled her eyes again. "I knew that you were an omega before I asked you the que
Valerie's POVNiklaus provided me with a phone, and there was a TV in the living room, but I still felt bored and lonely without him here. We weren't really chat partners, but I was comfortable with him.It was mid afternoon when I decided to go downstairs. The Alpha's siblings were occupied with one thing or the other. David and Dante were not in the pack house, Fredric was in his room, and Marcel was outside, talking with some people. It seemed like he was discussing business with them. Adeline was in the longue, while an Omega helped her do her nails. She was looking a little too pleased with the outcome.I decided to help out the Omegas in the kitchen. It was better than sitting and getting bored to death.They were four young Omegas in the kitchen, and they all turned to me as I stepped in. Their looks were curious, and it was very obvious that they were talking to each other through the mind link."You must be the Alpha's mate. Valerie, is it?" The girl with ginger hair came for
Niklaus' POVAfter spending a long busy day at my company, I was on the way back home. Mario was driving me, while I was busy on my phone at the back seat.My wolf was making me restless, knowing that I would be seeing Valerie when I get back. And the nearer we got, the more restless I became.I finally kept my phone and closed my eyes, placing my head on the headrest of my seat.I thought that the mate bond was a stupid thing. Why was I feeling attracted to a person that I knew nothing about? I was lusting after her every single time of the day, even though I knew that I shouldn't, considering what she had been through. I wondered how mated couples who found their fated mates were able to differentiate between love and lust. And because I was an Alpha, the bond had even more effect on me.It's been a day now, and I still didn't know what to do with her.I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts when a car crashed into ours with full speed, causing ours to lose control and swerve rough
Valerie's POV I was taken aback when the Alpha said he was taking me to the hospital. I was not sick, why on earth would he be taking me there? But I didn't argue, and I quietly followed him into the car. For some reason, he was pissed off, and his Alpha aura was everywhere, making me uneasy. I was just hoping that he was not mad at me. "Calm down, Valerie. I can hear your heart beat." He stated after a moment of driving. Truly, my heart was pounding. "Are you mad, Alpha?" I asked cautiously, and he turned to me. "Yes." "Did I do something wrong?" His gaze softened, before he let out a sigh. "I am angry, but not at you." I felt as if something was dropped off my shoulders at that assurance, but it did not last long at all, as his next words sent my anxiety spiralling. "I saw Alpha Ronald today. He ambushed my car and he was demanding for you." My heart skipped, and I felt my bones shake in terror. The thought of going back there, of having to endure all that he put me throug
Valerie's POVKlaus and I walked quietly up the stairs to our room. I knew that he was angry at me, and it made me uneasy. When we entered the room, he locked the door and faced me."What Tania said, is it true?"I lowered my gaze before I nodded."Why?" He sounded disappointed, and I felt a pang in my heart. I didn't like that at all."I was trying to help, I'm sorry." I murmured."You don't trust in me or what? You know that is against the rules." His voice was laced with hurt and betrayal, and I didn't expect my heart to hurt the way it did.He never liked the idea that I saw Tania in the first place, but now... I hated how he felt like I betrayed him.I shook my head, desperate to make him understand. "Nik, I was just worried. I know that Ronald will never play fair. I was sure of it, and I just couldn't bear the thought of losing you.""Why didn't you tell me since then?""The fight was over. We won, many stuff happened since then. I didn't even remember it."He brows knitted in
THIS CHAPTER IS WRITTEN IN THE THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWThe next morning, Niklaus was informed that the Beta and Gamma from the Blood Moon Pack had arrived. He instructed Jamie to lead them to the patio outside, while Damien went to fetch Tania. As much as he didn’t want her presence, she still technically held the position of the Luna of the Blood moon pack.Later, he and Valerie joined them, walking hand in hand.The seven of them took their seats around the table. The Beta’s face was contorted into a permanent frown, as if even the air around him irritated him, while the Gamma maintained a neutral expression."We demand to see Alpha Ronald." Beta Gerald said, almost growling, making Niklaus want to roll his eyes."You are in no position to make demands. I only allowed you here to determine whether I will be keeping your pack or letting you have it." Klaus responded, leaning back in his seat. Beta Gerald clenched his jaw in anger, but he could not do anything."Now that the title
Niklaus' POVI had much to do, especially now that I had the Blood moon pack. I needed to talk with the Beta, Gamma and Luna there. Even though I had Tania imprisoned here, I still shifted the meeting to tomorrow. I just wanted to spend time with my mate.But as soon as we got back into the pack house, that wish was pushed aside.Right in the living room, Amara and Sofia were yelling at each other. No, Amara was the one doing most of the yelling, drowning out Sofia's voice.What made the scene even more absurd was the fact that my brothers, Beta and Gamma were there. Fredrick was on his phone, pretending like the scene in front of him didn't exist. David and Dante— those two— they were excitedly watching the drama. Marcel was absent minded, which was very strange. Usually, he would either cheer them on, or try to make them stop.My Beta was staring at them with rapt attention, probably waiting for the perfect moment to stop them. While my Gamma... goddess, Damien looked like he was ju
Valerie's POVI opened my eyes the next morning to see Klaus beside me. His hand was around my waist and he was holding me possessively like someone told him they would steal me away.A smile graced my lips. Last night was amazing, I could almost still feel him in my core."You are staring so much, it's becoming creepy." Klaus suddenly uttered with a groggy voice without opening his eyes."I don't care. You look so perfect." I whispered, as I grazed my hands over his face. He let out a small sigh of satisfaction, before opening his eyes."Good morning, my Luna."My heart did a little dance at that. "Good morning, Alpha.""I added 'my' to yours, but you are going to call me just 'Alpha', and you don't see how that is unfair?"I stared at him for a short while, before giggles burst out of my mouth.He got up halfway, his body just supported on the bed by his right elbow. He then leaned in and kissed my lips."Can I get a little quickie from you, my chocolate beauty?" He asked this, but
Valerie's POVKlaus carried me to the room in quick strides, like he just couldn't wait to get there. And frankly, I couldn't wait as well. The mating sent us both into a sexual frenzy, I felt like I would die if my pussy don't get filled this instant.I was already undoing the buttons of his shirt, while my lips kept sucking on the spot in his neck where I marked him even before we got to the room. Omegas saw us, but I couldn't bring myself to care at the moment.The moment Klaus put me down, I ripped his shirt open, sending some of the buttons flying away. His hard chest came into view, and I swallowed hungrily, feeling the throb between my legs intensify.He didn't give me any time to admire the artwork that was his body, before grabbing my waist and pulling me to himself.He grabbed a fistful of my hair, tilting my head back before his lips crushed against mine, kissing me roughly and possessively. But I wanted more.His free hand came to my dress, wanting to tug it off, but he wa
Ronald's POVI was stuck in this dark place for goddess knows how long, held strongly by these thick chains. I had struggled against them over and over again to no avail. The chains were strong and made to hold powerful wolves, even Alphas. Maybe I might has managed to escape, but the sick Gamma here kept coming to check on me.Check? That was a way of putting it lightly.I was basically a ragdoll in his sight. He was even more obsessed with dealing with me than Niklaus was, like he had a personal vendetta against me. My whole body was opened and covered with whip marks and cuts from hot knives or any metal he could find. He would not let the old wounds heal before inflicting new ones.As if I wasn't going through enough already, a pain suddenly hit my chest, and I knew that Valerie was wrapped up in Niklaus' arms. But this was a different kind of pain. It had always hurt so bad, but this right here, this was hell, my body was on fire.I could only think of one reason. The bastard fin
Valerie's POV It was the night of the full moon, the night I would officially become the Luna of this pack. I was supposed to be happy, but I wasn't, I couldn't even bring myself to smile. Amara went to see Jared's parents yesterday, and she came back this morning looking worse than she was before. And I didn't know how to help her. Klaus had made plans for this day. He wanted to throw a big party that would last through the night and the next day, but now, I didn't even want that. I just wanted a small private ceremony with just a few close friends and his family. Carrie and Nadine were with me as I get dressed. Nadine and Andrew decided to stay in our pack until after the ceremony before they go back. While Carrie made sure I looked perfect, Nadine was briefing me about being a Luna. She told me stories of her Luna ceremony, the things to expect, and how I needed to shift into my wolf. The last part bothered me because I had not shifted since I got to this pack. In fact, had no
Niklaus' POV I didn't know how I was going through function tonight. One moment, I thought it was finally over. I planned to discuss the situation with the Blood moon pack with my Beta, Gamma and some trusted elders, before deciding what to do. But now... I had known Amara all my life, and I had never seen her broken down like this. Damien picked her up, while my brothers carried Jared's lifeless body. "Where are you taking her?" I asked Damien. "To the pack house. I am not living her all alone in her house." He said, and I nodded in agreement. His eyes were red rimmed, like he was trying to hold back his own tears. Jared was a warrior under him. He had always been loyal, selfless, easy going, and he was good at what he does. But I knew that he was also saddened because of Amara, since he loved her... He had always loved her. Valerie was holding on to me tightly, her face buried in my chest as she cried silently. I ran my hand through her back, trying to give her whatever comfor
Valerie's POVCarrie, Amara, Nadine and I stayed in the pack house together with Jamie and Damien. Klaus had his most trusted men stay with us, while they went to find Adeline. Though Amara and Nadine tried to lighten the environment up, I was so quiet, as I was still reeling from the fight earlier. Klaus almost lost... Almost. I didn't even want to bring myself to think of what I would had done if he had been killed."Drinks everyone?" Amara offered, bringing some bottles of alcohol from wherever she got them from. "These are strong, but I believe we need something strong right now." She said as she popped one bottle open. Those were werewolf alcohol."You know I can't drink." Carrie said, pouting. She looked down at her stomach, rubbing her hands over it."Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot... Maybe I can get you juice?"We all chuckled."What can juice do for me?" She asked, glaring at Amara."The sweet taste can keep you distracted." Amara responded teasingly."If I want distraction, I will
