Valeria POVI sat down at the back of the seat with Damien, and we sat in silence. I was lost in my thoughts; I didn’t expect any of this to happen. Not that I am not happy I finally get to be with my mate; I just have so many questions. Was it all planned, or did some unfortunate things that happened work in his favour? “Hey,” Damien called, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him, and I was happy the blood was no longer on his face. He must have noticed how uncomfortable it made me, so he cleaned it, which I am grateful for. “I know you are very confused and have a lot of questions, but don’t worry; when we get to my pack, well fed and taking lots of rest, we will talk about it,” he said softly. I breathe out.“But how did you get so beaten up? I thought you were more powerful than him.” I asked. He chuckled.“It was all part of the plan, mate; I needed to get beaten up. Now don’t ask too many questions; you were woken up from your sleep too suddenly, and you are still
Valeria POV“Wow,” I mumbled, filled with excitement. We are finally in the main pack, and being shocked was an understatement. This looks like a mini-city with lots of buildings everywhere.“I mean, it’s better if the first thing we come into is the offices, businesses, and companies,” he said. I nod my head, agreeing with him. I always wondered how packs make their money, and this is just giving me insights. I mean, the buildings are not as tall as the ones I see in the movies; they are like 2- or 3-story buildings, and the roads are not fancy like the ones in the movies or have highways either. It’s like a small village with houses and companies, but this is more beautiful than that.The buildings are made of beautiful designs, and the houses are beautiful too. As Damien said, nobody was on the street, and I suddenly wished they were. It would be beautiful to see people walking down the street, going about their day. The car continued going, and slowly I started seeing more houses
Valeria POVI yawned on the bed, stretching my body, and I couldn’t help but moan because that felt so good. Being in the car for so long couldn’t make me stretch or have much movement; I don’t ever want to be on such a journey again. I opened my eyes slowly, and I was face-to-face with cobalt blue eyes. I stared at him, not blinking. This was our first night together, and I don’t know how to react to his bed hair and sleepy face. He looks so cute. For an Alpha and a man of title, this was a funny scene.“Good morning, mate,” he mumbled, his voice raspy. I don’t know if I should swoon at his deep voice or cringe at the morning breath.“What? Does my breath stink?” he asked, smiling at me. I nod my head slowly. Damien chuckled, wrapping his arms around me and dragging me close. He snuggled up on my chest, rubbing his face on my body.“Get used to it; we are going to be waking up like this a lot,” he mumbled, holding me tight. I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck. I have never cud
Valeria POVDarcy and I walked around the monumental building, checking all the clothes. This pack is actually bigger than I expected; I had no idea there was a bigger mall a bit far from the pack house. I don’t know how many people are in this pack, but this pack is not like a normal werewolf pack; it’s like a human community. Who is going to attack them? Where do they even start from?“This is cute,” Darcy said, showing me a cute floral gown. She placed the gown on me, and I agreed with her. It’s cute—simple but cute.“How about you change into this?” she asked.“Sure,” I said, taking the gown and going to the dressing room. The gown doesn’t need a bra, and I am wearing one of Damien’s boxers. He had so many boxers he hadn’t worn, and I am happy I wore this, because these things are comfortable. I removed my clothes, looked at the scratches on my arms, and sighed. My wolf is still not back yet; my wounds have healed but not healed enough to get rid of the scars. Can I wear this gown
Valeria POV“Yes, this is Valeria, Alpha’s mate,” Darcy said. The lady gave me a long look. I can’t tell what is going through her head, and I have a feeling it’s not good. Then she smiled, outstretching her hand.“Hello, it’s nice to finally meet Alpha’s mate. My name is Kate,” she said. I smiled back at her, shaking her hand. “Hello, my name is Valeria,” I said back. I noticed the hard grip she had on my hand. I didn’t react to it. Instead, I used all my strength to squeeze back harder, and then I let go before she could increase her grip. I don’t want to look like some weakling. She smiled, taking a deep breath.“Well, I will see you both later,” she said, walking away. Heading to the elevator. I looked at her as she went.“Pretence,” I said when she was out of sight. Darcy growled angrily, and I looked at her.“Tell me about her,” I said, taking Darcy’s hand and walking to the other elevator.“That is Kate. She is a warrior and also a power-seeking bitch,” she said as we entered
Valeria POVDamien looked guilty. Why does he look guilty? Did something happen to them? A lot of thoughts were going on in my head at that point. His expression seemed like something happened between them, and I was hoping I was wrong because I thought he had waited for me, though he kept himself pure for his mate. I mean, what is the use of being around women when you know the moon goddess has given you a soulmate? Suddenly, Damien chuckled.“Calm down, mate; nothing happened between us,” he said, holding me close to him.“Are you sure?” I asked, and my eyes had already pulled up with tears. Damien laughed out loud, hugging me to himself.“Oh mate. If only you knew how I have waited for you all my life. I would never have anything to do with any female that is not my mate; please don’t cry,” he said, rubbing my back. I hugged him back, breathing out in relief. Nothing happened; I would have lost my shit if anything were to happen, because that is technically cheating. I pull back a
Valeria POVI don’t know how long I spent in the pack, but I lost count because I am living each day with pure happiness. Damien kept his promise, and Kate was out of my hair the next day. I didn’t see her leave or anything; the last time and first time I saw her was in the mall. According to Harold and Darcy, she left to work for one of the companies with humans, and of course I was happy. I can now breathe peacefully and enjoy the company of my friend Darcy.“What are we doing today?” I asked Darcy, munching on a cookie. We were in the movie room, but we were not watching anything; we were just munching on the cookie she made, and her hands are so blessed because these cookies are delicious.“Darcy,” I called, shaking her a bit. I noticed she has been off since today; she has been awfully quiet, and I am not used to it. I want the lousy and overly energetic Darcy. “Darcy,” I called, shaking harder. She jerked out of whatever she was thinking, looking at me, and I looked at her susp
Valeria POVI kept quiet, not knowing what to say. They are still my family, and although they hurt me, is it right to hurt them back just because I can? Doesn’t that mean I am also like them? Stooping far below their level.“No,” I said, looking at him. I expected him to be angry and disappointed, but it was the opposite. He smiled at me softly, and I was confused.“Why are you smiling?” I asked.“I am happy you are different from them. It would have been sad if you wanted me to hurt them; they are still your family even if they hurt you,” he said. I smiled, nodding my head.“And that is why you have me to help you make decisions like this. Of course, I am not going to let this go, but I promise not to hurt them,” he said. I smiled, nodding my head.“What are you planning?” I asked. “Don’t worry about that; let’s lay down,” he said. I nod my head, getting into the covers, and I breathe out, remembering what he just said. I just wonder why I can’t be happy for once without them butti
