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 POVI sat in front of a mirror, looking into my soulless blue eyes. My lips twisted into a frown as I could hear the sound of someone’s heart beating loudly. The sound was obviously very annoying and uncomfortable. The sound was also very painful to hear; it seems the person is in pain as the heart trumps loudly.“It’s you, you dummy!” my subconscious yelled at me. Me? Am I the owner of the thumping heart? I slowly placed my hand on my chest, and I could hear my heart beating loudly. Sadness was over me in great waves as I struggled to keep my tears in. The door opened, and my mother came in.Her lips were stretched in a wide smile, and a bright red lipstick sitting pretty on her round lips. Her eyes glowed; they glittered. Today was the happiest day of her life. She was getting rid of the one thing she hated, the one thing she hated looking at, and the one thing that almost got her killed. That thing is me.“Oh, Alpha Adrain is almost here,” she shrieked, almost jumping on he
Valeria POVI sat by the window of the car, looking outside into the endless woods. The dinner ended with sour faces and two smiling faces. Mother and father were happy to have gotten rid of me, while the rest were not happy with their Alpha’s choice, but they couldn’t argue with him. Ruby was disappointed, throwing a fit of temper and storming out of the dining room. Father was, of course, embarrassed; she embarrassed his guests and him, and he had apologised to the young Alpha by bowing his head. His cheeks were a bright red, and it was a funny scene. This is not the first time she embarrassed him, but he never said a word, and this he couldn’t overlook.“Are you sure of this, Adrain?” a deep voice across me asked. I didn’t turn my head. I don’t know who this man is, but he seems to talk to the Alpha like he is his brother, and from his aura, he is probably the beta of the pack.“No,” he replied.“So, why did you choose her? She looks timid; our pack would not survive a week in her
Valeria POVI sat down on the swing, looking at how the pups played around. I smiled at their little screams and squeal; they all seemed so innocent and full of life. In my former pack, going to the pups’ school or staying in the garden was my favourite thing to do. Although the parents make sure I’m not near their pups, but I just love watching the innocence of pups; I never got to play like them, get my clothes dirty, or play tag. I never had any friends, so watching pups being themselves was pleasing to me.“Hey!” I heard a high-pitched voice breaking me out of my thoughts. I looked down, and a pup, not more than 3 years old, was looking up at me.“Me?” I asked, looking around. No pup has ever talked to me or approached me; they avoided me like plague, so this was new.“Are you new here?” the little boy asked. I smiled at him, nodding my head. His lips formed into an o shape, and his long, curly hair moved around with the breeze. He is such an adorable, chucky pup with blue eyes an
Valeria POVI sat in front of the mirror, my eyes lifeless. It’s been two weeks, and the pack has been hectic. The omegas have been working extra hours getting everything ready. It’s obvious the mood in the pack changed; they were all bubbly, with girls chirping away about meeting handsome men from different packs and boys all talking about their haircuts to look their best for the night. Everyone was glad; it was too obvious to miss. Then what have I been doing for the past 2 weeks? Soil my pillow, punch the wall angrily, dress up, and try out dresses—dresses I have no say in. Jessica doesn’t like this dress; change it. Jessica doesn’t like the colour; change it. Jessica doesn’t like the design; change it.I wore so many dresses; she just wasn’t satisfied, and I had no say whatsoever. I kept silent and kept doing as she said. I always wondered how my first ball would look one day when my parents finally allowed me to go, but now I am suddenly not excited about the ball. Realising I m
Valeria POV“Mate!” my wolf yelled loudly, almost blocking my ears, but I didn’t mind that. I was just speechless. I never thought a day would come when I would clock eyes with my mate, feeling the euphoric power of the mate bond. But that only lasted for a split second as he stared at Adrain’s hand wrapped around my waist. My heart fell faster than it has ever fallen. I just met my mate, but I am in the arms of another wolf; he would never want me. He walked close and looked directly at Adrain, who was getting angrier by the second.“Alpha Adrain,” his deep voice booms with so much authority, and my heart flutters, my stomach bursting with joy I have never experienced. I never thought I would hear a voice more authoritative and deep after hearing Adrain’s voice. Guess I was wrong.“Alpha Damien,” he replied, using the exact same tone my mate used, if not harsher. My mate smiled, his full plump lips shaping into a thin line. I almost smiled at how handsome he was.“Lovely party you ha
Valeria POVI sat beside Adrain, who was drinking. It was human alcohol, so it won’t make him drunk, but he has drank a lot, staring at my mate in pure hate. Everything Ruby said is so true. Since my mate arrived, the ball has been a bit awkward. They all avoided going towards my mate pack, but I could see some of the pack members going towards other packs; I guess they found their mate. I looked at Adrian and sighed; he actually looked so angry, sucking in his teeth and folding his palm in a punch, but my mate, on the other hand, was sitting calmly, sipping his drink.I guess now I know why he holds that title. He is calm; you can’t tell what is going on in his head. My mate is like a gentle smoke—a smoke that can cause a raging fire if not quenched. But Adrain, on the other hand, is allowing his emotions to get to him. Something I have learned while growing up in the pack is that people can use your anger against you; they can get into your head while being angry. It’s good to know

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
