Second chance, Betrayal, Revenge and Age Gap. 23 year old Valeria Poland is fresh out of college and optimistic about her life outside the school walls. However, the night of her graduation, the rose coloured lens she uses to view the world are destroyed when she arrives home in a drunken stupor to find her parents murdered in cold blood. Just like that, an animalistic side that she has occasionally seen but forced back appears, and she unleashes her despair and pain by letting out a loud howl. That's when she realises she's a werewolf. Her mind still reeling with varying emotions of shock, anguish and anger, Valeria is led by her wolf (Kala) to her dad's study, where she finds various documents, some stained with blood. After thorough study, she discovers the people she's been calling her parents are not her biological parents, and that her real parents- obviously werewolves- are also dead. Her quest for more knowledge about it all and her wish to get revenge for her adopted parents cause her to stalk someone that is repeatedly mentioned in most of the documents; a 31 year old man named Garrett Holmes. Garrett is depicted as a ruthless man in the documents, with a history of deception, violence and a thirst for blood. Despite all this, he is said to own a multi-million dollar company in the heart of the city, with branches worldwide. Coincidentally, Valeria's recently completed course of study is in his line of work. Valeria decides to find a job in the company and charm her way up the position ladder till she can find a way to get more information on him.
View MoreValeria- For a couple of seconds, I stare at the piece of paper that has caused me to rethink my entire existence with just one glance. Henry and Jacqueline Johansson? Were my parents using different names before they came to the United States? Have I been living a lie all this while? Is this why Father became less welcoming to my antics as I grew up? Did I remind him of the life he left behind? But…Mother is Asian. She speaks Mandarin so darn fluently it is impossible to say that she doesn't originate from Asia. And…this Kala situation. Does that mean they knew I'm a werewolf all this time? Perhaps they thought I would never uncover the truth because I hadn't met my wolf in my teens. They probably believed that she'd died and that I'd become a normal human. Kala growls within me, and I say a quick sorry before returning to my assumptions. Or, maybe, just like all those books and movies I've read and seen, Father was an Alpha, and badly wanted to see me grow into a powerful Luna
Valeria- My wolf- Kala- leads me through a short lesson on werewolves. It's not too far from what the stories say, even though she keeps saying that the stories are absolutely wrong. Werewolves are also creatures of the night like the vampires, but unlike vamps, werewolves can walk in the sun and transform into normal human form. There's a certain age at which one gets connected to their wolf, which is their inner beast, and apparently, I'm a late bloomer. Or, I'm a very good suppresser. Because this isn't the first time I'm hearing Kala speak, but I haven't been very inviting nor have I been accommodating. Probably she'd almost rot away in my head and had used the first opportunity she had to break free. And it just had to be on my parents death day. At that thought of mine, I hear her whine in sympathy. But I do not speak. Instead, I focus on my arrangement of Father's study, placing the files back in place according to the guides he put in place. My heart clenches as I see h
Valeria - Numb. That's exactly how I feel. I feel like my entire existence is disappeared, leaving behind an empty space. But soon, that space is filled, with anger, with a thirst for vengeance, and with an animalistic voice that keeps snarling at the back of my head for…Wait. Voice? Snarl? My foggy head slowly clears, and I can hear fully well the sound coming out of my mouth. Or, if I'm to be more specific, my snout. Even though I'm thinking relatively straight, I'm afraid that the alcohol must have worked more than its usual wonders on me. Else, why on earth would I be seeing paws instead of hands, and why does every voice around me seem so loud? Just then, my gaze falls on something. No, not something. Someone. Dad's eyes are still wide open, emotionless. The entire incident comes flooding back to me all at once, and I slump to the ground, the newfound energy getting zapped out of me all at once. "*We must get revenge,*" the Angry Voice in my head says, and I nod, still t
Valeria - Just like we planned, the girls and I arrive at the graduation venue late. Which is obviously against the school rules, if I recall the head of my department's words as he dictated the rules guiding the graduation ceremony to us, his forehead sweaty and his face twisted in wrinkles. But, hey. Who cares? It's graduation. No one listens to that stuff. Or, maybe they do?When we arrive at the venue (which is a huge hall on a private property), the entire compound is silent, with cars lining up the parking lot. It's obvious from the low hum we can hear that everyone is inside the Hall.The five of us exchange glances. "I knew this was a bad idea," Shirley begins, but Anna sends her a glare that makes her shut up immediately."Oh be quiet," one of the twins says. "So we're the only sensible ones who decided to be rule breakers on our graduation day. So what?" I nod. "Let's just go in. All we need to do is walk in and find seats. No biggie. It's graduation, Shirls. Loosen up.
Valeria - "Wear the 3-inch heels," Anna says, grinning as she walks with Jonas, her fiancé, to his Range Rover. I grimace at the thought of murdering my poor feet with those shoes, but then brighten up when I think of the reason why I'll be doing that. Because it's graduation, that's why. I've looked forward to that day ever since I stepped into college. The day I would leave the four walls of this damned institution, armed with a college degree and with a mega-watt smile on my face. "I'll try," I yell as Jonas opens the door for her. She beams at me before giving him a peck for being such a gentleman, and I feel a prick in my heart from seeing that. She's so lucky; they met in our second year and have continued in their relationship- about three years gone now. And they're engaged to marry next month.I had a boyfriend for a month, and that was just before first year ended. However, because she's happy, I force a smile on my face at the gesture, and wave to her as he drives off.
