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
Valeria POV“Adrain was her mate,” he said, and time froze as I looked up at him in shock. Adrain was his sister’s mate. How? I thought he didn’t have a mate. “Really?” I asked, short of words. He nods his head.“Aliana was a sweet little girl. She had no worries, spoilt rotten; my parents trained me harshly; they trained her with love and anything she ever needed. Not that I was complaining; we all loved her, and we were not afraid to show it,” he said, chuckling.“She met her mate during the annual ball Adrain father organised, and we were happy her mate was him because the pack is well-to-do and powerful, but we didn’t know his parents and the pillars had a connection. Truly, the pillars stayed out of our way, but they never stopped resenting us. Adrain wasn’t an Alpha then, but he was about to be, so Alaina went to his pack so they would both be crowned together. We thought she was happy; at her crowning ceremony, she was all smiles; mother wouldn’t stop crying happy tears; fathe
Valeria POVSo many grunting, groaning, swords clashing later, Lux was still standing on her feet. Blood all over her body. She stood away from us, her sword out as she tried to catch her breath. I wasn’t even tired; I must say she put up a good fight. She definitely lasted longer than I would have imagined; it was nice to see her still fit after so many years. But she knows this is a fight she won’t win.“Give it up, Lux,” I said, looking at her. She chuckled dryly.“Nice to see I haven’t lost my touch. I had some hits,” she said, looking at all of us. She is right; her sword cut into my arm, and that is all. Everyone has injuries too, but just in a few places. But for her, it’s all over her body. She almost got beheaded by Dmitri; she moved out in a millisecond. “You are already dead,” I said. She smirked.“Not if I have something to say about it,” she said, running to me with speed, aiming for my neck. I could tell she put all her remaining energy into that run; she already knew s
Valeria POVI walked inside the pack house, heading to the conference room and before I got there, I could hear them discussing. I entered the conference room, and it was a full house. I have never seen so many Lycans together before.“Just the wolf we were waiting for,” Dmitri said as I walked in. He looked the same as he was, not much different. “Sorry I kept you all waiting,” I said, smiling at Damien.“She apologies,” Dmitri said, with heavy sarcasm. I turned to him.“How are you doing, Dmitri?” I asked. He smiled.“I am the same as ever. I can’t say about you though,” he said. I gave him a long look, breathing out. I really don’t have strength for his energy.“Did you tell him everything?” I asked Damien. He nods his head.“Yes,” he replied. I turned to all the men.“So, I’m guessing you all understand,” I said. “Yes, we do. But I hope you know killing Lux is going to affect the moon goddess,” he said. I nod my head.“She deserves it; I blame her for everything that’s happening
Valeria POVI got back to the pack, and I headed to the dungeon.“How is he doing?” I asked Collin.“He has gone crazy; he keeps growling and scratching his neck. I tried to stop him, but he is strong and needs more than one wolf to tame him,” he said. And before I got to Adrain, I could hear his loud growling.“Are you with his phone?” I asked.“Yes, it’s with me,” he replied, and I nodded my head. We got to the dungeon, and of course, only he was here. He was rolling on the floor, growling at everyone and everything.“Open the gate,” I said. Collin looked at me wearily, but opened it, anyway. I entered the cell, and he was still rolling on the floor, trying to get rid of his mark.“Adrain,” I called, and immediately he tensed up. His muscles moved, and slowly, he turned around. At first, he looked like a crazy animal, with no ounce of humanity behind those eyes, but when his eyes fixed on me, he became normal. He fell to the floor, crying out.“What have you done?” he cried out. I r
Valeria POVI continued sprinting to Damien’s pack, and when I got near his pack, I was jumping on the censor so they knew I was coming. When I got to the pack, I saw the guards and Dante looking at me from the walls, and they were shocked. I can’t mind link them as I am no longer in this pack. I moved back, then I ran with all speed, growling as I tried to jump off the high wall. The warriors all yelled, causing a commotion as I jumped over the wall, landing on my paws.“Valeria? What’s going on?” Dante asked, running to me. I howled, ignoring him and running to the pack. Dante shifted, running after me. I know he was trying to catch up, but I was in momma bear mode. It was late at night, and I was worried about my son. Who did Titus send to take him? How are they even going to take him in this pack filled with security? Dante growled behind me, and I hoped he was talking to Damien. I continued running, ignoring people’s yells of surprise as I passed them.After a few minutes, I was
Valeria POVA horror filled scream left Daus lips and before he could run to his mom, I blocked him, carrying him out of the room. He fought with me, screamed and scratched me to let him go but I was barely affected. I took him to his room, dropping him on the bed and I stared at him blankly. I’m sorry you had to see that Daus, no child deserves that, but your momma is evil. She definitely didn’t think of my son and what he would go through if I was dead because no way would I live with that bastard mark on my neck.“Daus,” I called. “Mommy, I want my mommy,” he cried out loudly. I sat on his bed, carrying him on my lap and petting his back softly.“I’m sorry,” I said, not sorry for what happened to Ruby. I am just sorry he has to see that and live without a mom and possibly a dad.“Mommy,” he cried. I pulled back, and I sighed.“Sleep,” I commanded. He blinked his eyes repeatedly, looking all drowsy. And slowly, he fell into my arms, passed out. I sighed, patting his back softly.“I
Valeria POVAdrain trashed around on the bed, trying to get the mark off him, but he can’t undo what I already did. The only thing he was doing was getting blood on my white sheet, which annoyed the fuck out of me. But I wasn’t worried; he would have to wash that later. My door burst open, and I turned to look; it was Ruby. She rushed in with urgency, looking around, and her eyes widened when she saw Adrain trashing on the bed. She probably thought it was me screaming.“You thought it was me?” I asked, sitting on the comfortable sofa not so far from the bed. She turned to me, and her eyes widened in shock.“What did you do to him?” she snapped, looking at Adrian in shock. A soft laughter left my lips at what she said.“What did I do to him?” I asked. She looked at Adrian, running to him and trying to keep him from hurting himself, but he pushed her away. He is mine now; his loyalty lies with me.“What did you do to him, you bitch?” she yelled. Anger rose deep within me as I looked at
Valeria POV“Are you enjoying Daddy’s Pack?” I asked Egan with a small smile on my face.“Yes, Daddy Pack is the best,” he said, moving all around the phone. I could just tell Damien was holding the phone, and Egan was walking all around talking.“I am glad. Have a goodnight rest. Mommy missed you but would see you soon,” I said.“How soon?” he asked, his voice louder. Now he is closer to the phone. “Very soon. Make sure you sleep early. Don’t sleep past bedtime, and also don’t disturb Daddy too much,” I said.“Okay!” he yelled, still so active. I sighed; he is definitely sleeping past his bedtime. Damien chuckled.“How are you doing?” he asked. I smiled.“I am the same,” I said.“Have you started working on what you said?” he asked.“No, I haven’t informed the warriors about the war yet; I would like to talk to Dmitri first. Then we can get everything in motion,” I said. “Okay, when you are ready to just keep me updated,” he said, and I smiled, nodding my head. I hung up the phone,
Valeria POVI got to my pack, entered the pack house, and I was welcomed with Adrain, Ruby, and Daus sitting on the couch watching a movie. They looked like a family, just chilling on the couch, having some family time. Of course, I didn’t inform anyone of my arrival; I asked the guards to keep it very low key. I guess I just wanted to see what was happening when I was not around. And this confirms what Egan was saying.“Hey guys,” I said, smiling widely as I entered my living room. They turned to me, a look of shock on their faces, and Ruby jolted away from Adrain, dusting her body shakily.“V.valeria, you are back,” she said, her voice sounding high-pitched. I smiled.“Yes, I’m back. I got you all some gifts,” I said, bringing the bags up. They smiled, and I walked to the kitchen with them following me.“Where are you coming from?” Adrain asked. I placed the bags on the counter, looking at him. “Went on a little errand,” I said, bringing out all the gifts.“And where is Egan?” he a
Valeria POVI frowned at her as she cackled evilly. She may look like me, but she is nothing like me. She is evil.“Moon goddess created you to save the wolves, not try to overthrow her,” I snapped. She looked at me, her eyes nothing but dark. How did I not notice this the first time I saw her? The dark energy I felt was all from her. She has been locked up here for so long that her anger and frustration keep getting worse. How can someone have this much rage?“That was truly her goal of creating me, but then I desired something more,” she said. I chuckled.“She is your creator; how can you desire something more? How can you put everyone at risk? Everything going on right now is all your fault, and you dare still desire more?” I asked. She smiled, going back to where she was seated.“She is a coward; she would have saved the wolves if she wanted to, but no, she wanted to be a goddess. Seat on her throne all day and had her little minions do everything for her; she is supposed to prote
