Valerie's POV
"Harder, Alpha." My elder sister, Tania held tightly onto the bed, while the Alpha who happened to be my mate ravaged her insides from behind. I was seated on a wooden chair, facing them, forced to watch them. My arms, bound to the chair, were filled with marks of infidelity, the type that would only appear when your fated mate was cheating on you. But even though the marks hurt, I was not screaming or even grimacing or reacting to the pain at all, not even the one in my chest. I was used to it. For three years, since I found out that Alpha Ronald Ewan was my mate, I had been forced to endure this. He would not let me go or reject me, because being with one's fated mate 'felt good'. He would also not make me his Luna, because I was not worthy of the position. He wanted to eat his cake and have it. "What do you think, little mate? You think she is taking my cock nicely?" He asked me, his smile mocking. I rolled my eyes, ignoring his question. But as usual, the Alpha would not have it. He pulled out of my sister and strolled to stand in front of me. He gripped my chin tightly, and forced me to look up at him. He was standing before me, completely naked and hard, yet I felt nothing but utter disgust. No sparks of the bond, no pull, no scent, nothing, unlike when I first felt the bond three years ago, before I discovered that he was the devil. The hate I had for the man was stronger than the mate bond itself. The hate had eaten so deep into my heart that it overpowered the force of the bond. "Answer me, before I stuff it in your mouth." My stomach churned. Not just because of what he said, but because I knew that he would do it. He had done such to me numerous times. My greatest desire was to be free of him. But I could not reject him. He was an Alpha, and I was only an Omega. Rejecting him would kill me. Even if I survived it by any slim chance, my wolf would surely die. "Yes." I hissed. "She is taking your fucking cock nicely." I then glanced at the girl in front of me, my sister. The face of betrayal itself. Evil made flesh. There was a smirk on her face as she watched me. She was enjoying this too much, my humiliation. Before I turned eighteen and found out that Alpha Ronald and I were mated, I had a crush on him. But then, I found out that my sister liked him too, so I backed off so she could have him. Not until that fateful day, when our pack hosted the mating ball, and I happened to be mated to the Alpha. Tania was hysterical. She accused me of being a witch, and taking everything she ever wanted. She then promised that she would have her revenge, a kind of revenge that would break me so deeply, I would not be able to recover. And she did it, because I was broken. "Can I get up now?" I asked the Alpha, wanting to be away from the both of them. I just hoped deeply that he would spare me today, that he would not ask me to join him in bed. He smirked, and I felt my hope crush. "You know how I love finishing up with you, little omega. No matter how many I taste, you are still the best." I saw my sister's burning gaze on me, her jaws clenching. She hated the attention the stupid Alpha gave me. She did everything for him, but he just fucks her. I hated the attention too, but I would endure it just to see that look on her face. "Disgusting bastard." I murmured, but I knew that he heard me. Tania heard it too, and she hated it. She hated that I could insult him and get away with it, but if she dared, it would be her death. The Alpha smirked down at me, sensually rubbing his hand on my cheek. "Your filthy mouth..." He suddenly trailed off as if something called his attention. I guessed that someone sent him a mindlink. Today was the mating ball after all, and our pack was hosting it this year. His attention would be needed. The stupid smirk on his face soon disappeared, and was replaced by a deep frown. "Some bastard want to take my attention from you, Omega. But I will be back and I will fill your mouth with my cum." I wished that I could attend, but as usual, I was not allowed to attend any function. I was just locked up in a room, clothed and fed, then used for the Alpha's satisfaction. Still holding my chin, he tried to kiss me, but I moved my head away. There must really be an emergency, because he didn't try to force me as he usually did. He then left the room in a hurry, leaving me with my sister, as she picked up her clothes and began to dress up. I tried to stand up to go to my room as well, but the binds on my hands held me down. Thankfully, it wasn't too tight, as the bastard Alpha planned to lose me soon to fuck me. Tania began to say something to me, to mock me perhaps, but I didn't hear it at all, as a scent hit me. A scent so strong and inviting, I was almost knocked out. No! This kind of scent, I had experienced it before, the scent of a mate! My wolf which had been dormant for a while stirred and purred in my head. What could this mean? I already had a mate, and this was not the way he scented. Why was I smelling my mate again, and why was the pull so strong? Ignoring my sister, I walked out of the room in search of the source of that scent.Valerie's POVI went back to my room to shower and change into one of the few decent dresses I had. Alpha Ronald preferred buying me scandalous ones, just for his own gratification.I was so glad for whoever called him, because he was not here to lock me up."Where are you going?" One of my guards asked me, as I stepped out of the room. Alpha Ronald made sure that I was always guarded, so that I would never be able to escape him."The Alpha wants me to join him." I stated confidently, but there was a skeptical look in his eyes as he stared at me. "Look, if you delay me and the Alpha come here to get me by himself, you know too well how he will punish you. So better get out of my way, so I can be done with all these." I didn't bother to hide the irritation in my voice. All my guards and the other omegas that the Alpha specifically chose to watch me knew that I hated him. They knew that I was his play thing, and they had heard me lash out at him a few times.He then nodded, but he insis
Valerie's POVI 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 hi
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
Valerie's POV My heart was pounding violently against my ribcage, my palms sweaty and my body colder than usual as I stood face to face with Ronald. The memories came flooding down my head, threatening to drown me, but I would not let it. I would be here and I will see this man exposed, I would witness his embarrassment and watch him punished."Oh, sweetie, you can't go about throwing rape accusations. You might have climbed the social ladder, find yourself becoming a Luna soon, but that does not give you the right to tell such blatant lies." Ronald yelled, the same cold voice he used to threaten me, the same voice he used to instill fear in me, while I stay in a room, waiting for the worst to happen.I turned to Klaus who was barely holding himself from speaking. He knew that I needed to have this moment for myself.I was mad at him at the moment, but he was still my biggest strength, always by my side, never wavering. And at that moment, he sent me a mind link.'Don't let him scare
Niklaus' POVI knew that Valerie had traumas because of her experience with that good for nothing retard, and I had seen her react to it, but never this badly, not even when we had sex. To say that I was scared was an understatement, I was fucking losing my mind. I kept calling and tapping her for a while before she heard me, and even then, she still looked haunted and scared.We were outside the building now, and I hoped this would at least help her make more sense of her surroundings. I kept her down, but didn't let her go. My hand remained firmly on her waist."Valerie, look at me."She did. Her beautiful eyes were clouded with tears, and I felt as if someone dug into my chest and pierced tiny holes in my heart."Baby...""Nik... There is so much blood."I shook my head, my heart heavy in my chest, I could feel it sinking. "No, Love. There is no blood, it's all in your head. You are clean, and it's just me and you here."I was already quick to come up with solution and ideas when i
Warning: Trigger aheadValerie's POV I was yet in another place that I didn't envision that I would ever be- the Alpha council. It was a big building with marble floors, high ceilings, and walls adorned with intricate carvings. The air was thick with the scent of old books and power. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I stepped into the grand hall, surrounded by the most powerful werewolves in the region. The Alpha council was a place where decisions were made, alliances were forged, and fates were sealed. It was almost like the human court of law. The only thing making me not feel out of place was Klaus' constant reassuring presence.We walked into the hall where our cases were to be held. Some of our neighbouring Alphas and Lunas, including Alpha Killian, Alpha Andrew, Luna Nadine were here, amongst others. Carrie, Amara, Florence and Ambrose were also here in support of me. Jamie and Damien stayed back to watch over the pack.There were two rows of seats, and we occupied the one
Niklaus' POVI was in my office, together with my mate, Betas and Gamma. We were discussing the date for the Luna ceremony. I wanted it to happen as soon as possible, but they all said that it would be better to push it to the night of the next full moon which was coming up in the next three weeks."When should we meet the elders and tell them about it?" Carrie asked."I think tomorrow would be perfect." I said, and Jamie sighed, making us turn to him."What if they are not eager... You know, with this recent case of..." He paused, careful to make Valerie feel bad. But Valerie just gave him a carefree wave, as if saying 'say whatever it is, I am not that fragile'.Jamie nodded. "You know, most of them are not in agreement to make you the Luna now. What if...""Fuck the elders!" Damien said, cutting him off. That was the difference between my Beta and my Gamma. While Jamie was cool headed and reasonable, Damien didn't really give a fuck about people he thought were unnecessary. The bot
"Val, what the hell is going on?" Carrie asked, as she stormed in. She just watched Amelia being dragged away, and she looked confused as hell.I was overwhelmed with so many emotions right now, I couldn't even bring myself to talk. I wasn't even sure that I made the right decision by having Amelia locked up, but I let my anger get the better of me for once.As if Carrie wasn't enough, Damien stepped in, looking all worried. I could tell that Klaus was not home, because he would had been here by now. The Gamma walked to me and cupped my face, his brows knitted in concern."What happened between you two? Did she say something to you?" He asked so tenderly, I felt my heart skip, a lump forming in my throat. His closeness and warmth made him feel like a protective older brother, and I found myself wanting to cry."She knows that I can't have children and she was mocking me about it. I didn't mean to take her out like that, but she...""You did the right thing." Carrie cut me off, making
Valerie's POVMy heart thumped violently against my ribcage, like my chest could not contain it, at Nik's sudden confession. I could barely contain the storm sea of emotion brewing inside of me, and all I could do was just break down in front of him. There was no way I could qualify what I was feeling in simple words. The moon goddess just looked for the best man out there and gave him to me as a mate.He suddenly got up, carrying me, my legs wrapped around his waist and my hands around his neck. He held me securely, his hands supporting my bum and my back. I chuckled, thinking that he treats me like a baby sometimes."Where are you taking me?""To the room. You need to freshen up. Your eyes are so swollen."I could not stop my smile. "I thought you had work to do here.""That can wait." He said, before taking me to our room. To be exact, to the bathroom. He had one in his office, but for some reason best known to him, he took me to our suite.I stood aside as I watched him prepare a
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
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
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
