Valeria POVI walked into the empty pack house drenched in blood. Adrain really prepared for us; just when we thought that was all the men, more came in carrying weapons. No one was losing or winning, but we made our way through the border and killed lots of their warriors. Now I am in the pack house with Julius, which is so empty, but I can smell them and also hear them; they are all hiding in their rooms. This pack doesn’t have an emergency bunker? That is very bad.“Where could he be?” I asked myself as we walked to his study. He wasn’t there, and he was smart enough to drench the entire room in cologne; I can’t get his scent.“Follow me,” I said, running to the third floor. Coming here gave me good and bad memories—the loneliness I felt and the happiness I felt having my mate close to me. We checked all the rooms, and we couldn’t find Adrain.“I don’t think he is in the pack house,” Julius said.“Yes, you are right. Let’s go,” I said, and we walked down to the pack house. We got o
Valeria POVEverything was calm and still as I looked around confused. Ruby sat on the floor, her head bowed flat, and I am just noticing everybody here has their heads bowed except Dmitri, Damien, and me. Which means he is right; the moon goddess is truly here.“There she is,” Dmitri said, and I looked up. At first, all I was seeing was a white satin cloth. I couldn’t put a face to it, but I could see the shape of her body from the curves of the gown. She was descending from the dark sky; she felt ethereal, her presence calming. And as she got closer to the ground, I could finally put a face. I never expected what the goddess would look like. There are no words to describe her, but she looks like any other wolf with her black straight hair reaching her by the waist. She put on a white satin gown, which is long enough to her feet. Her beautiful skin is so milky that it glows in the dark. She looked around, her ocean blue eyes absorbing her environment. She might be like any other wol
Valeria POVThe loud sound of a pup crying rang out in the hospital ward, and I fell to the bed, weak. I looked at the nurses as they carried my pup, wrapping him up with a white blanket.“It’s a boy, Luna,” they said, their eyes shining with nothing but happiness.“Bring him,” I said, my voice hoarse as I sat up weakly. They brought him to me, putting him in my hands. He immediately stopped crying the moment he was in my arms; he squirmed around in my arms, making sounds that were melting my icy heart.“Leave,” I said. They bowed their heads, walking away. I looked at the little boy in my arms, and my heart was only beating in happiness I hadn’t felt in months.“He looks so much like him,” Sofia said. She was right; he looks so much like Damien; I have never seen a pup look so much like their parents as a newborn. You might be wondering what happened after that tragic night. Well, as the moon goddess said, I woke up the next day, and I was in the Midnight Pack hospital, passed out on
Valeria POV“When will they be arriving?” I asked, staring at Collin.“They are on their way, Luna,” he said, and I nodded my head, looking at the papers.“Is there anything else you need?” he asked. I shook my head no, and he bowed his head, leaving. I continued with my paperwork, checking the names of the pack arriving. Houses are provided for them; they will be able to settle in this month. The door burst open, and I looked up, breathing out.“How many times do I tell you both not to barge in when I’m working?” I asked, staring at the brown and blue-eyed boys. They smile sheepishly, walking in like they own the room.“What are you doing, mom?” Egan asked me, finding his way to my laps, and Daus did the same thing, and I sighed, carrying the both of them up. They are not little pups anymore, but just loved to be carried. “What is this?” Daus asked, looking at the papers.“It’s adult work, little pups like you can’t understand,” I said. They continued looking at it, and I sighed, wo
Valeria POVIt was the next day, and Collin and I were inside the study together.“Has he replied?” I asked, growing anxious.“No,” he replied, and I sighed. I really need him to reply to me. I have lots of questions to ask about what transpired between the goddess and Lux. Collin looked at me like he had something to say, but chose to keep quiet. That’s how our relationship has been—strictly work and nothing else. He is still the beta, and I allowed him to live because I needed someone from this pack to give me information. I didn’t want any close relationship with Adrain or anything that would make me go to him, so Collin was the right person. Over the years, I have noticed changes in him, and he is truly hard-working. I saw a new side of him. I didn’t appreciate what he did back then, but I have learnt to forget about it and see the good side of him.“Speak,” I said. He looked at me, biting his lips nervously.“I just wanted to say you should relax, Luna; if he doesn’t respond, you
Damien POVI sat down in my study, mindlessly going through the papers on my table. I don’t know what is going on in my mind, but I know I am not concentrating on this paper. It’s been my usual habit to often pace off, staring at the walls mindlessly or just sitting around with my eyes closed. It all started after she left. She is a topic everyone avoids bringing to me; what is she doing? What is she up to? Is she Luna now? Does she and that bastard have pups together? I have no single clue. I sometimes wonder what goes on with her or the pack after that unfortunate night. I didn’t chase after Adrain after that night; my longing for war has long since reduced; I just don’t have any more purpose to do that. My phone rang, and I looked at the unknown number calling. I breathe out, deciding not to pick simply because I am not in the mood too. The phone rang again, and I wondered why this person was calling; this is my private number; not many people know it. The phone rang for the third
Damien POVI roam around the living room, biting my lips anxiously. We are in the night around 8, and Dante has informed me of her arrival. He didn’t give me any details except she came alone with the warrior driving the car, and I was even more anxious. She is not coming here to say hi after four years, right? “What is wrong with you, Damien?” Darcy asked, carrying her pup, Sean. He is 2 years old, and he is just like his dad. Personality-wise and looks. I sometimes see both of them together and wonder how me and my son would have looked together. Would he look like me? Would he look like her? Whose personality would he have? Would he be naughty and stubborn? I always wonder, but I never have an answer.“Can you stop roaming about? You are stressing Sean out,” she said, trying to calm the fuzzy pup. And I still continued ignoring her, and she groaned. It was just me, mom, Darcy, Joey, and Sam in the living room. I have no idea where dad is, but right now, I don’t care.“Seriously, D
Valeria POVSeeing Damien holding Egan so closely to him was the best thing a single mother like me can see. A single mother who had been hoping one day her son would meet his father. I try not to get affected by Daus being around his dad and getting to do whatever he wants with his dad, while my son watches on sadly. Sometimes I could only hug my son closely as he cries; what would I tell him? Your daddy and I separated so unjustifiably? The goddess who is supposed to protect us has been unfair by breaking the bond she gave us. Even if I had told him, he would have never understood.I am happy Adrain had given me a push to bring him here. I needed it all this time because I was contemplating and didn’t know how Damien would react to knowing he had a son. So that is why I left the pack house unnoticed. I took my son and a guard, and I only informed the guard I would be back soon after I was almost away from the pack house. Now seeing their hug made up of four years of him not being in
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
