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 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 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 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 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 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
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 POVI woke up from my sleep, and I was in an unfamiliar bed. I looked around me, and I could hear the sound of birds chirping. The room was big and comfortable, with not too many designs. And the big window was opened, allowing the gentle breeze to come into the room. Something about the breeze, the chirping sounds of the bed, and the serenity makes me feel so calm.I smiled, coming down from the bed. I left the room and burst into the hallway. The hallway was spacious, and there were some vintage-looking lamps hanging on the walls. The floor was wooden, and the walls were a creamy colour. I walked down, and I got to the stairs. I walked down the stairs, and I was in the spacious living room. Instead of walls, it was a transparent glass wall, and I could see what was going on outside. We were surrounded by more beautiful green trees. The front yard is filled with soft green grass, and it looks so beautiful.“You’re awake,” Dmitri said, and I turned around. He smiled at me, wal
Dmitri’s POVI smiled, watching Valeria dance with some little children. The trip has been going way better than I imagined. I knew I needed to do something to get her out of her comfort zone, to show her a new world. All the things I said about my flings were true; I was never the man to fall in love with any woman. The last woman I loved genuinely was my mate, and she died so many years ago that I have forgotten some memories of her. I had flings, and they were there for sexual pleasure. It was nothing more than that. But with Valeria, it was different. Something about her captured my soul, and I have loved her for a long time.I am ready to take it step by step with her, ready to make her fall in love with me at her own pace. What she went through was sad; it shaped her into the life she lived today. But I know that is not who she is. Valeria just wants love; she wants to be loved, and she wants happiness. She may be stubborn, but that is a facade, and I saw right through her. Seei
Valeria POVI sat in the passenger seat, jamming to the song playing on the radio. It was three days later, and Dmitri and I were on our way to this surprise he organised for us. I have no idea where we are headed, but I am happy to be with him. He left two days ago to fix everything, and then he came back with some bags. He told me to wear the floral yellow sundress with a pair of brown sandals. The dress is a free long dress with a very fitted waist. It has spaghetti strap arms, and the gown cups up my breast, showing a bit of cleavage. Dmitri brushed my hair, leaving it messy as it fell down my back. He used some lip balm on my lips, and I was looking so beautiful and simple. I have never dressed that way; it was new, refreshing and simple. I loved it.I remembered how Egan looked at me. He was in awe, and his eyes were teary. I suddenly got shy, and they laughed at me. Dmitri was keeping his words, and I was welcoming it. The way he dressed me up, I looked so feminine. It was givi
Valeria POVI pulled back after crying my eyes out, and he cleaned my tears.“I’m sorry,” I said, looking at his body. He was shirtless, as usual, and I just cleaned my face on it. He looked down at his chest and waved it off.“It’s okay,” he said softly. He stood up, and I watched him go; soon he came back and lay down beside me.“You alright?” he asked, and I nodded my head, smiling. Felt good to get that off my chest.“You look cute when you cry,” he said, and I laughed.“Do I?” I asked, and he nodded his head. I smiled, lying down, and we both looked at each other.“You should get rid of your flings,” I said, and he raised his brows.“Why?” he asked.“If you claim to love me, then you need to stay loyal to me,” I said, and he chuckled.“But you are not mine,” he said.“You are lying on my bed, beside me,” I said, and he smiled.“Is that a yes?” he asked. I turned around, smiling.“Do it the right way and I will reconsider,” I said, fighting my smile. That was a beautiful speech; e
Valeria POVDmitri lay down beside me, his arms under his head. We have both taken separate baths, and now we are on the bed, with a small distance between us. It was awkward, all my fierce attitude of the window. Am I supposed to move closer? Am I supposed to drag him to me? I hated how I was acting like a teenager in love. I glanced at him, and he seemed lost in thoughts. What could he be thinking? What is going through his mind? I looked away, swallowing hard. I should try to make a conversation, say something to get rid of this awkwardness. I cleared my throat.“So, when was the last time you had sex?” I asked, and a deep laughter left his mouth. I looked at him, and he was laughing at my question. He was laughing so hard I was surprised because I have never seen him like this. I rolled my eyes.“What’s funny?” I asked, and he breathed out. Running a hand through his hair.“I’m sorry, pardon my laughter,” he said, and I rolled my eyes at him again. Well, don’t blame a girl for ask
Valeria POVSoon, night settled, and Egan and Cassidy left. I guess she was taking him to her quarters. I was left with Dmitri in this big-ass apartment, and I was quite nervous. We were still in the kitchen, seated on the island, and his stare was making me uneasy. I shifted in my seat nervously, looking at him.“What?” I asked, and he smiled slightly.“I am excited to see you nervous,” he said, and I raised my brows.“Why?” I mumbled. He shrugged his shoulders.“Nothing, it’s just amusing to see. You have some emotions in you,” he said, and I rolled my eyes.“When have I ever not been emotional?” I asked, and he breathed out.“The girl you killed, you didn’t care much for her,” he said, and I rubbed my neck.“It was a mistake,” I said, and he shook his head.“She was innocent,” he said, and I breathed out.“Well, I compensated her family,” I said, and he raised his brows.“You did?” he asked, and I nod my head.“I told Cassidy about it. Her family is super wealthy now,” I said.“Tha
Valeria POVWe finished eating, and Egan took the plates, clearing them.“So, why have you decided to grace us with your presence?” Cassidy asked. Egan didn’t tell her, I guess.“Vladimir”, I said, and she raised her brows.“What happened to him?” she asked, and I smiled.“I went to a strip club and met his son. He actually drugged me and tried to rape me,” I said, and her mouth hung open.“And you shove out his dick, literally,” Dmitri completed my statement, drinking his juice. Cassidy’s eyes widened, then she burst into loud laughter.“He deserves more than that. You never take advantage of a woman. We are terribly against it,” she said, and I nod my head.“Grace must have called you,” she said, and I nodded my head.“The bitch wants my apology. Obviously, she only wants to humiliate me because she and Vladimir won’t let it go. They will surely want their revenge,” I said, and she nodded her head.“Yes, she doesn’t like you, anyway. She feels threatened,” Cassidy said, and I nod my
aleria POVWe pulled apart and stared at each other. Was I betraying Damien by doing this? Was I committing a grave sin? Should I be regretting this and locking myself up as I hide my face in shame?“Hey, don’t overthink it,” Dmitri said softly, searching my face.“I am not,” I said, and he raised his brows.“You are, Valeria. Don’t overthink it,” he muttered. I smiled softly, my body still tingling at the thought of the kiss. It’s been so long since I had a kiss, a kiss where I genuinely wanted to, a kiss where I shared the same amount of passion. I have kissed a lot of me, but those are all hungry kisses, no emotions, and it was not in the least affectionate. But this one it was everything I could ever imagine. I wrapped my arms around him, hiding my face in his shoulders, and I took in his scent. He smelt different; he smelt like home, and he smelt like warmth, and it made me happy. He rubbed my back slowly, his hand trailing down my spine.“You are so strong,” he whispered in my e
Valeria POVI could tell Egan and Dmitri were confused, but this is something I have kept to myself for years. Of course, I wasn’t going to joke around all my life and not have anything to fall back on. I made this, me alongside all these women. We had only one goal, and it was to use our power or influence to do the right thing because everyone here has been wronged by the world. We all have our story, ranging from worse to better. And I am happy that, after so many years, this organisation was finally going to be helpful to me. I heard a low growl as Cassidy and I pulled apart, and I turned to Egan. He was staring at Cassidy with hooded eyes, and she also looked back at him with the same gaze. I gasped.“Is she your mate?” I asked, excited. But of course, they both didn’t reply to me. Their gaze was fixed on each other, and I smiled. Finally, he has found his mate.“Let’s give them some privacy,” I said, dragging Dmitri with me. I held his hand, going fully into the palace. We enter
