Valerie's POVKlaus wasn't joking when he said he wanted everyone to know that I was the future Luna. He had made it known to his family, and this morning, he would be gathering the elders at one of the pack centres. Saying that I was nervous was an understatement. Klaus let me in on what to expect. Not everyone might like or accept me at first, but he assured me that he would be there for me.The past few days, I did try to learn about the Luna duties, and take over some of them from Carrie. She had even taken me to visit some important public places, meet new people, men, women, youths, children. Somehow, I felt like those human politicians before an election, but in truth, I really enjoyed meeting them. Most people already knew that I was the Alpha's mate, and they were guessing that I would be the Luna. A few of them even asked. Well, I left them guessing still.Now, it felt as if I was always busy, but I loved it. It gave me a sense of purpose.Soon, it was time for the meeting,
Niklaus' POV I knew that Valerie was very tensed about the meeting with the elders, but I was very proud of how she answered it in the end. Amelia and her minions tried to humiliate her, but well, I would never allow that. Elder Matilda was a good friend of Amelia, and I would not be surprised that they planned all that together. she was even one of the elders that supported Amelia in trying to make Marcel Alpha instead of me.Valerie let out a long relieved sigh as soon as we entered our room, before she threw herself on the bed."That was... That was an adventure."I chuckled. "I told you you could do it. You were the one overthinking the whole thing." I said as I peeled my jacket off, and placed it neatly on the couch, before walking up to her. "You hungry?"She shook her head. "We literally came from a restaurant.""But you didn't eat much."She chuckled and rolled her eyes. "I stopped eating when I was filled.""I think you should change your clothes." I suggested to her. Well,
Valerie's POV I knew that Klaus was holding back, and I was thankful for it. As much as my body craved to have him right now, the image of Ronald was still there at the back of mind. It still reminded me how horrible and scary sex could be. But with Klaus, I felt safe. He said he would never hurt me, and I believed him.Even though I felt a little scared, his kisses, his touches still left me wanting more. I could not control my yearning and desire for him, and now that he was finally inside of me, I felt... It was wholesome.A whimper escaped my lips as he began to move inside of me. My head fell back as my body arched up."Let me know if you are not comfortable, okay?"I nodded. "I am fine... Don't stop please." I breathed, making him smile."I don't plan to."His pace quickened, and I felt my body tremble with pleasure. His eyes locked with mine, burning with intensity as he moved deeper inside of me. He took one of my legs and wrapped it around his waist, as his thrusts became fa
Niklaus' POVThe next morning, I did something that made everyone look at me like I had suddenly grown two horns and a tail. I joined the family for breakfast. Carrie made Valerie go with her to shop for some things, so she wasn't here with me.The family were all seated quietly, while I walked there, pulled out a seat and joined them. They all gave each other a glance, like I was some kind of evil spirit that had come to possess them."Where is Valerie?" Amelia asked after a while. "Since she forced you here, it is only proper that she joins in as well. She will be the Luna after all." She emphasized the word 'Luna' with a roll of her eyes. I smiled. How satisfying it would be to see her squirm and struggle with herself when Valerie finally becomes the Luna."She didn't force me. I came here on my own." Marcel gave me a suspicious look, his gaze narrowed. The twins stared at each other, while Frederick continued to face his food, not even flinching a bit, like I was not even there. S
Valerie's POV I was in front of the mirror trying on another expensive dress yet again. Going shopping with Carrie usually left my heart skipping. Even though I knew that Klaus was the one paying and he was extremely wealthy, I still could not help but worry. But Carrie didn't mind my reaction though, she just shopped anything that she believed would look good on me.Today I would be visiting another pack with Klaus. I was surprised that I wasn't feeling as nervous as I should be, knowing that I would be meeting Alphas, Lunas, Betas and Gammas from different packs. In fact, the prospect of going to a new place excited me. I had only ever been to Blood moon and Crescent wolves packs.This time I was wearing a red dress with slim hands, a V neckline that left out a small amount of cleavage, and slits at both sides of the dress. I chuckled, remembering Ronald. The idiot would had flipped over a thousand times if I wore something like this, afraid that the next pair of eyes that sees me
Ronald's POVTania indeed proved that she was useful to me. I let her go after my Beta managed to convince me again. She made a friend from the Crescent wolves and since then she had been getting accurate updates about Valerie, and that was how I knew that she would be coming to the Nightshade pack. I wasn't invited as I was not really on good terms with the Alpha here, but that was the least of my concern. I came for what was mine.The moment I entered, all eyes turned to me, but I didn't care. I walked straight to Valerie, I could perceive her scent, and I was already salivating. Fuck, she smelled so good.I knew she was aware of my presence too as her body stiffened. It pained me so much that I could no longer speak in her head like I used to before. I missed those times when I could easily control her with no one knowing.Valerie got up suddenly and everyone at the table and around went quiet. She turned to me, looking at me with an unmistakable look of disdain. But damn, she look
Ronald's POVIt's been four days, I was back in my pack but I could not shake off the thoughts of what transpired between Valerie and I, nor the shame that came with it. I was unusually reserved and my Beta and Gamma noticed it. I still could not shake off the uncertainty of what was going to happen with the Alpha council. Every now and then, I fear a summon, but it's already been four days. Did they decide to let it go? I shook my head. Even if Valerie did, Alpha Niklaus would not. I remembered Luna Nadine's threat, a shiver ran down my spine. She would challenge my Alpha title in front of the council.I looked down at my wrists to see fresh marks again, the ones I got early this morning. Alpha Niklaus was fucking her again. It was almost as if they were in some kind of competition to break the world sex record. Bitterness, jealousy, anger, all of those negative emotions rose up my chest and threatened to suffocate me. This was a lot more than my pride now. I just missed Valerie."Yo
Niklaus' POV"Alpha please I promise, it wasn't me. I would never do such against you after you warned me not to." Doctor Sylvia stood before me, begging for her life. I summoned her to my office and she came immediately.Jamie, Damien and Carrie flanked around me, while Valerie sat on my laps. The doctor tried looking to them for help, but she was only met with deathly glares that threatened to rip her apart if she was indeed guilty, especially from Damien and Carrie."Apart from the people here, you are the only person that knows about her. What did I tell you that day?" I asked her calmly, but she knew better than to think that I was being lenient."Alpha... I promise...""What did I tell you that day?" I repeated my question, and she looked at me in fear, like she was staring into the abyss of her own demise."You said a lot of things, Alpha.""Like?""You said I would be dead if I breath a word of this to anyone."I leaned back in my seat as my gaze narrowed at her, while she was
Niklaus' POVA few days passed, and the pack was slowly going back to normal. Beta Gerald and Gamma Reuben had taken charge of the Blood moon pack, waiting for the day I would release Solana. Jamie and Damien were yet to let me know who they suspected was working with Tania, but I didn't ask. I left them to handle it, and I trusted that they could.Valerie was mostly away, taking charge of Amara's restaurant in her place. Amara was still mourning her mate, and she decided to go stay with her parents for a while. Valerie reasoned that it would not be good for her restaurant to be completely shut down for a long time, so she took it upon herself to help.The Luna's office, which formally belonged to Amelia was under renovation, and it would be Valerie's when it was done. There was nothing wrong with the office before, as Amelia never stopped using it- she held on to her Luna title. But I wanted Valerie to redecorate it how she wanted, everything should be to her own taste.Valerie got b
Valerie's POV Klaus 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 k
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
