Valeria POVI sat on the bed, allowing the doctor to do his thing to my stomach.“Everything looks good; she is healing well,” he said, looking at my stomach after removing the bandage. “Can she leave the hospital now?” Luna asked, and I hope he will say yes. I have been here for 2 days, and I am tired of the hospital smell and paint. It’s driving me nuts, and I haven’t seen my mate either. I’m worried and frustrated.“Yes, I would put another bandage on. She needs to be changing it and cleaning it, and try not to do anything so the stitch won’t open up again,” he said, cleaning my stomach with one thing that always stings. After putting it on, he covered the stitch, and I put down my clothes.“That would be all,” he said.“Thank you, doctor,” I said, smiling at him. He packed his stuff and smiled at us while bowing his head. Luna turned to me.“I guess it’s time to go; I packed your stuff,” he said, and the door opened, revealing a guard.“Is the pack house far from here?” I asked.
Valeria POVIt’s been a day since I was discharged, and Damien is still not back. My injury is still painful, especially since the anaesthesia has worn off, but I have been taking a lot of bed rest, and Luna has been so helpful and kind.“You didn’t finish your food?” Luna asked, entering the living room. She attended to me this morning, brought me food and some snacks, and I guess I wasn’t that hungry, so I decided to munch on my snacks while watching movies.“Yes, I am not that hungry. But I can eat it later,” I said so her effort wouldn’t be wasted. She smiled.“Okay,” she said, sitting beside me.“I have seen this movie before when I was with the humans,” she said. I smiled; I was watching SING.“It’s interesting,” I said, looking at the human creation. I would like to go there one day. She nods her head.“It is,” she said. We sat in silence, and I was so lost in the movie that I didn’t notice someone sneaking behind me.“What are you watching?” the voice I have been wanting to he
Valeria POVDamien and I climbed down the stairs. I held his hand tightly, wondering why the hallway was so dark.“I can feel the dark energy here,” I said. “Yes, that’s how the library has always been. Dad said it’s because of the spell the witches put here,” he said. I breathe out.“Did the witches practice dark magic? I know it’s forbidden for them to,” I said.“That I don’t know,” he said, stopping. I looked around, and there was no door. He pressed his hand into the wall, and the stone went inside, revealing a door. He walked in, and I wasn’t expecting to see what I saw.“Wow,” I said, shocked. “I know, I was shocked too,” he said. I thought it would be an old library with old books and some spiders crawling everywhere and making disturbing cobwebs, but I wasn’t expecting to see this. It looked like a greenhouse. It was covered with glass and I could see the bright sky from the glass; it was shining so brightly, the clouds a beautiful bright blue. The books were arranged in row
Valeria POVI flutter, my eyes open, my head banging. I groaned, holding my head as I struggled to stand up. I feel so weak.“You’re awake,” a soft voice said. My eyes flung open, and I looked up. I gasped, looking at the woman in front of me. She looks just like me, but the only difference is that she is so full of grace and elegance. This would be me if I had discovered who I am, what power I hold, and how destructive it is. “Finally, I am happy to meet you,” she said. I sat up.“Who are you?” I asked. She smiled, even her smile was just like mine.“I think it’s obvious,” she said. She looks like the sketch I drew.“Lux,” I said. She smiled.“Finally, after waiting for years, I finally met you,” she said. I stood up, looking around.“Where is my mate?” I asked. “Don’t worry, he is fine. Asleep at the moment; you and I have a long talk,” she said. I breathed out, sitting beside her on the wooden chair. It’s a spacious room filled with books, two chairs, and a table. Everything look
Valeria POVI opened my eyes, and I was lying on the floor. I sat up, groaning, and I heard a groan. I looked to my side, and Damien was waking up; we were both on the floor.“Damien,” I called, going to him. I helped him up, and he looked at me with drowsy eyes.“Are you okay?” I asked. He breathed out, looking around.“What happened?” he asked. “I don’t know; I woke up on the floor,” I said. He groaned while standing up, then his eyes widened as he saw the book on the floor with the rope beside it.“The book,” he said, picking it up. “I never thought it would be like this,” he said. I walked to him, looking at him as he opened it. The book is comprehensive, so I thought it would be filled with endless pages of writing, but to my surprise, it was plain blank.“What?” Damien said, flipping the book. There was nothing.“I can’t believe this,” I said, looking at the book. Why did Lux give me a blank book? Or is it someone retreating from seeing what is written there because if we can
Valeria POVThe whistle blew loudly, and I smiled, falling on the field and breathing out.“New record,” Damien said, walking to me. I smiled, looking up at him. It’s been two months since we completed the mating process and two months since we found out about Lux. I have been training endlessly since then; my life is like a repeated circle. Train, eat, and spend the entire night doing the nasty with my mate. Ever since knowing he could be killed or taken away from me, I have tried my best to spend time with him, get a feel of his warm, sweaty skin pressing against mine, and I am happy he feels the same way too.“How can she complete that obstacle in 1 minute?” Darcy asked, walking towards us. I smiled, looking at her slight bump. Yes, she is pregnant again. She and Sam were really not giving up, and we were all excited to find out. She’s been going for a checkup, and Sam has been treating her like an egg. Well, we all have.“Isn’t it obvious?” I asked, standing up. She frowned, rolli
Valeria POVToday is finally the day of the meeting, and we left the pack a few hours ago. I don’t know how the meeting would go, but we came with men, just for our safety. I know nothing of the sort would happen, but Damien said we should be on the safer side.“We are almost there,” he said. I looked outside the window, and I could see a tall wall. The car kept going, and soon we were at the gates. The cars were rolling in slowly, so I knew they were checking the cars.“What are they checking for?” I asked.“Weapons,” he said. I looked at him, confused.“We can’t take weapons in. This is not our territory,” I said. “Don’t worry; of course we are not going in without weapons. It’s well hidden,” he said. I nodded my head, and when it got to our car, we actually came down from the car, and they checked us. After the whole check, we were allowed in. “It looks like a palace,” I said, looking at the vineyard as we passed.“Well, technically, they are royalty,” Damien replied. We passed b
Valeria POV We all sat down in silence, waiting for him to make a decision. I was a bit nervous; obviously Damien would win, but I didn’t want to look down on Adrian, and he might just pull a nasty move like Kate and it would favour him. There is really no need to keep me with him; Damien would always challenge him. “Time wastes for no one, alpha Adrain,” Damien said. Adrain looked at me, and I recognised the anger in his eyes. They used to scare me, but now it’s more of a challenge. I feel challenged. He licked his lips, looking away from me. “I will give up my rights to your Luna. From now on, she will cease to be my bride or mate,” he said. My parents and the man sitting at the edge of the table looked at him in anger. “Surely you don’t mean that alpha Adrain; you promised to get my daughter back,” my father said. I rolled my eyes at him; he had totally turned me into an object. “Your daughter doesn’t want to be with you; give up and stop pestering me,” he snapped, standing up
Valeria POV“Get your sisters here,” I heard Damien say as Darcy and I set the table. The house is very noisy, the kids crying here and there. It’s absolute chaos. “Food is ready!” I yelled, and in a minute, they all rushed down to the long rectangular table. I chuckled as they all jumped over each other, trying to get a seat.“Careful,” Darcy said, and I smiled, serving the plates. Well, 5 years have gone by. The werewolf world has been peaceful; no more pillars that control the rules; their palace has been broken into pieces. Everyone has been living in perfect harmony, and I am certain a lot of people have forgotten what happened during the war. Everyone has long since moved on and has recovered from the war, which I was happy about. It took a lot of effort to fix all the damages, but today, the werewolf world is now very peaceful, all living in harmony, and I couldn’t be happier.After the war, it took time for Damien and me to get back as we were; we were still very frightened b
Third Person POV The fight continued, and they were both physically tired, but no one was backing down. “I should have killed you when I had the chance!” Selene growled, swinging her swords at Valeria, but Valeria blocked it weakly. They are both weak. “But you didn’t because you were a fool,” she said, laughing weakly, and Selene tried to stay on her feet. She was exhausted; she could no longer feel her arms, and Valeria felt the same way. Dmitri shook his head at them, but suddenly, he looked up, and he smiled. “They are here,” he said, and Damien was confused. “Who is?” he asked. He walked to them, and Damien followed suit. Valeria turned to them, and her eyes widened in shock, looking at Damien. “I told you to keep him away,” she growled, and Selene looked at Damien, and a smirk rose on her face. Using her last strength, she ran to Damien, and Valeria’s eyes widened. “No!” she screamed in horror, and Damien closed his eyes, expecting the pain. But it never came; he opened h
Third Person POVDamien and Valeria got outside, and it was a mess. Bodies everywhere, injured warriors. But Dmitri stopped the bloodbath by raising Titus’s head to the air; the pillars had been defeated; time to stop fighting.“The war is finally over; now we await the moon goddess,” Dmitri said, dropping Titus’ head carelessly. The air became colder, and the sky grumbled. Valeria held Damien’s hand tightly; she wasn’t letting go. Everyone had their heart in their hands; they were all nervous about what was about to happen, but Valeria remained strong.“She is here,” Dmitri said, and truly she was here. She slowly appeared, dressed in a white gown. She looked pure, looking like she would never cause anyone any harm, but Valeria knew it was the opposite. Selene’s heart is dark, she derived joy from harming her wolves. She is the cause of everything, the one who is to be blamed for everything, and she doesn’t deserve to be the moon goddess. Selene’s eyes match with Valeria’s, and her e
Valeria POVMy horse gallops down the woods, my army behind me all crying out tears of war. Today is finally the day we get rid of the pillars, just a week after we killed Lux. Am I excited about this war? No, but do I want them all dead? Yes. I have been anticipating this for a week. I know the aftermath is going to be terrible, and I am prepared for everything. I just want the Pillars dead and the werewolf world to be taken back to normal.“Alpha Damien is way ahead,” Collin said, and I nodded my head. I pushed my horse to ride faster; we are supposed to move first according to our plan, but I guess they went before us. We got to the palace where they have been hiding all this while, and it’s already a bloody battleground. Titus definitely came prepared, but there is no way he is overpowering three different armies. Mine, Damien’s, and Dmitri’s. He is outnumbered.“Remember all we have trained for and make me proud.” I mind-linked, and they all roared. I left them, leaving Collins t
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
