Valeria POVI turned in my sleep, hugging the most comfortable pillow I have ever owned in my life. Why is it so comfortable? I didn’t want to wake up, but I felt eyes on me. And who owns that comforting scent? I usually sleep alone or with Egan, but I know my son doesn’t smell that way, so I slowly opened my eyes, and Egan’s blue eyes were staring at me.“Good morning,” he chirped excitedly, and I wondered what was getting him so excited. I was confused a bit, but when I looked down, it all finally made sense. Damien’s blue eyes were staring at me, a smile on his face.“Good morning,” he said, his morning voice coming through. I took a deep breath, not minding our morning breath. I lived with that for months before, and we kissed and did the nasty, so I am used to it. I cleared my throat, sitting up.“Good morning,” I said, running a hand through my hair. Egan giggled, looking at my flush cheeks. Then he squealed as Damien carried him up from his hips, throwing him high up in the air
Valeria POVWe sat down in the car, Egan sitting on Damien’s lap so he could see out the window.“I wonder how they would react to this,” I said, looking at Damien. He smiled, holding Egan’s waist so he wouldn’t fall over with the rocky road.“Well, I guess they’d be happy,” he said, looking at Egan. I nod my head, looking away. I am actually so excited to see them all. I thought about them a lot in the past, and now I am here, but with a pup instead. I know they will be happy and I can’t wait to see their excited faces. Slowly, the car got to the border, and the guard drove to the conference room. Everything is still the same, not much difference. The warriors go about their days, some training, some sharpening their already sharpened weapon. Nothing’s changed.“It’s so sharp,” Egan said, his face glued to the window, and Damien laughed.“Soon, you will train like them and hold swords,” he said as the car packed. Egan looked so intrigued by that statement, but I ignored them coming d
Valeria POV“I am going after the pillars,” I said, and they looked at me, shocked.“Pillars?” Dante asked.“Yes, the pillars,” I said.“Have you forgotten who you are? What the moon goddess said the last time you killed people in a war? What did she do to us? Now you want to lead warriors to attack the pillars?” Damien asked. “Moon goddess already made a mistake doing what she did years ago. I have no mates; the only thing stopping me is my son, and I know she won’t dare to touch him because then she is only going to make matters worse,” I said, and they kept quiet.“Valeria, what you are about to do is dangerous. The pillars are not someone to look down on,” Dante said. I smiled.“I never looked down on them; I need a challenge anyway.” I said, my mind already made up. Attacking them is something I have planned after what happened; now I have gotten the pack up to their feet, have enough warriors, nothing is stopping me.“I have really decided to keep war off me after what happened
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
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 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 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 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 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
