In one life, Valerie, Luna of the Eclipse pack had died for a man who didn't love her, for a sister who betrayed her. She had spent her life in misery with a family who didn't care for her and a man that wished her dead. But no more. After her untimely death, she woke up to find herself a year in the past. This time, she knows what she has to do; renounce her Luna position and start afresh as a rogue. Yet what happens when they reunite and the man who hated her with a passion suddenly looks at her differently? When another Alpha vies for her attention, who will she choose?
View More2 Weeks LaterTristanIt was said that dying or having a near death experience was life changing. It was no doubt the same for having twice the amount.Life had become good to say the least. Nothing could probably compare to the high I was in now. It seemed to make all the weeks of limbo worth it Valerie was with me. We were together.Now, I was waiting for her to arrive.It was a date.This one however was going to be important, because I had a surprise.“Tristan?” The sound of her voice brought me out of my thoughts. I looked up and my world stopped.Valerie was at the head of the stairs. Her silvery blonde hair was let down, letting it rest in its soft waves. The blue dress she wore flattered her frame perfectly, sending a twist of desire through me. She was…“Beautiful.” The words left my lips before I could think it through, but it was worth it to see the flush rise on her face.“Shut up,” she muttered, loud enough to hear, yet whatever snarky she was holding muddled underneath
ValerieThe pack hall had cleared itself in no time. My final glance at Alyn was a final hollow look she gave. As the guards dragged her out, she looked indifferent, completely unresponsive to everything around her. Like she was catatonic.Perhaps some things…some people weren't capable of change.I pushed the thought aside. After talking to the servants to help clear the hall. I turned away, ready to leave-“Valerie,”I froze at the voice behind me. The urge to run away pricked at my skin but this time I turned around. For the first time in days I met the gazes of my parents. It seemed like they had aged nearly ten years with the way they looked at me. Their faces held more wrinkles, their expressions weary and stricken. It felt like deja vu. Once in this same hall I'd escaped before they could see me. Now as they walked towards me this time I wasn't going to try to escape.They moved closer, stopping a few steps away from me. A weight formed my chest as I saw their expressions, a
Valerie The remaining two days flowed by like water. I hadn't realised how exhausted I was until I'd practically fallen dead asleep after returning from the hospital. Immediately I woke up that day I made all the provisions for his return in the meantime. Sophia and the other maids helped attend to me during that time and the rest of the servants deferred to me for orders. For the past few days I had been making any arrangements I could. I was no longer Luna yet it felt like it while I gave orders, organising things. I hadn't realised how much I missed it until now. I felt more at peace, the weight of the responsibility lighter, more welcoming. I constantly moved between the pack house and back to the hospital whenever I was done, staying with Tristan throughout. Whether it was talking, joking or staying in complete silence, I remained with him as long as possible. Throughout those two days, we never talked about Alyn, my parents or the trial that was looming. Perhaps th
Valerie 'What?’ A sharp prickle rose up my skin in shock. Of all the things he would say this was the most unexpected. “Tristan, You can't…” “It's fair and lawful.” He said, his voice neutral, “The consequences for the attempted murder of a Luna is death.” “I'm no longer Luna,” I countered, heart racing. He frowned for a moment, looking at me “Former Luna then. And no matter Alpha,” Something in me clenched. His words were correct, but still. He, who had protected her for most of her life. Even now that he'd cut all ties with her and didn't regard her anymore than as a pack member, Tristan wasn't cruel. But to easily decide this? ‘To kill her?’ “Tristan…” “Valerie,” he responded, turning to me. My breath hitched at the ashen look in his eyes. The shadows of memories I knew nothing of were reflected in them in a way that made my heart clench. “I know everything now.” He breathed out, “The maliciousness in her heart is too deep.There's no way I can let her stay in this pac
Valerie Sitting at the far corner of the room, I watched as Dr Gerard gave light orders to Tristan, checking on him. Despite the high from moments ago I'd still called on the pack doctor to check on him. I had to look at the floor to keep myself composed. I'd been staring too long, and there was only a limit when minutes of tracing the lines of his face, would seem too much. I couldn't help it though. It was proof. Proof that he was alive, with me. That the past few minutes were real. He LOVED me. The feeling settled inside me. After weeks of the strange limbo we were in, it felt like it had finally rested. I thought I could have time to think things over. Seeing him bloodied and pale, sacrificing his life for me, it all became clear. The thought had stated with me for the entirety of the wait. Sitting alone as his sole visitor and tracing his features over and over again, I'd prayed countless times with that one thing in mind. He couldn't die. I couldn't lose him witho
TristanI vaguely heard myself groan as blinding light pierced my eyes. A faint pain dulled my senses, yet as I adjusted to the brightness I could recognize where I was.The hospital.The blur of Alyn's threats, Valerie and the gunshot remained in my mind. And what happened after I lost consciousness…I shifted, attempting to sit up only to halt at a heavy sensation. Turning to my bedside I realised I wasn't alone. I would recognise that hair anywhere.'Valerie...'She was asleep, her arms intertwined on the empty space on the bed to pillow her face. Her platinum blonde waves swam across the blue matress. Her eyes were flushed, and I quickly understood why as I noticed the dried sheen tracking her cheeks. Tear stains. “Tristan! No! Stay with me!” the echo of her frantic voice remained in my mind. A knot formed in my throat. I remembered everything now. The remaining memories of my past life following her death. The burden in my chest felt even heavier.Just like now, I had realised
Tristan After that day, everything changed. Alyn had returned to her parents home and I barely saw her. The few times I did, I couldn't find it in myself to look at her, the memory of what she'd tried to do- attempting to take advantage of me- was still fresh in my mind. She grew more erratic over the next few days after, often making up an act. Unlike the past however, I could see it clearly now. The clear victimhood. The image I had of her was cracked, and now I couldn't help but wonder; why? I ignored her, simply distancing myself. I was too piled up in waves of guilt and self loathing to fully entertain her actions anyways. Perhaps it was naive, but I forced it aside. Surely that was a sole incident that would eventually be forgotten. That was what I thought until one day, I woke up in the middle of the night to find her naked atop me. I'd opened my eyes with an uneasy feeling. It wasn't until I saw her frame in the darkness that I realised what was happening. What Alyn w
TristanI didn't notice how I'd moved or how I'd managed to get there in time. The moment I saw the flock of the trigger everything felt like a blur. Then the gunshot came and then…Pain.It was like an out of body experience. I could feel the seating bullet lodged in my body yet at the same time everything was completely numb. I didn't fully process it until I saw the red stain on Valerie's hands and dress. ‘Valerie,’ She was all I could think of.Facing her tear filled eyes and stricken look made my heart hurt. For the first time I held hope that we were getting somewhere, no matter how long it took, only for this to happen. A gunshot and Valerie once again, except this time I was on the other end of her shoes.Call it déjà vu, karma or the universe's sick sense of humour. At this moment, it didn't matter which was which. I would make the same decision again and again.If I was going to die saving her life like she did mine once, then it was worth it.As the darkness crept in, I f
ValerieI closed my eyes, bracing myself for the impact. The pain.Was this going to be my end? Was history going to repeat itself?All this time, avoiding everything all to end up like this. Things being different but the same.Maybe I shouldn't have egged her on. I should have been softer. Begged and pleaded for my life. If not for anything else, for the sake of my child. But I hadn't. And if time was turned I probably wouldn't. Not after everything I'd heard.How ironic it was that I'd caused my own death, this time more directly. A twinge of guilt and shame filled me. ‘I'm sorry,’ I whispered to my child. Perhaps I deserved it but they didn't. But it was too late. I was dying and so will they. I wasn't foolish to beg the moon goddess for a second chance. The life I'd lived had gone past my expectations, no matter how many regrets I left behind this time, I'd have no choice.Time seemed to tick on as the screams reached my ears. Waiting for the hot searing pain that followed bef
Valerie ‘So, this is how it ends’I felt faint despite the noises surrounding me. The only sensations I had was blinding pain, the warm wetness on my hand and the knowledge that I was shot.Colors filled my vision before everything became clearer. I was on the ground, hands surrounding me that I recognized as Mina, my maid's.“Luna Valerie,” she cried. The memory of what happened moments before filtered in my mind.A simple meeting regarding the pack when a maid suddenly aimed a gun at him. Nobody else noticed.“Alpha Alistair sends his regards,” I heard the assassin say,Before I knew it, I ran to block him and now…I was here.I shifted to the side to find him.My husband, mate and only love, Tristan was dragging Alyn, my sister away from the scene, pulling her back as she tried to reach me. Not once had his eyes crossed here.I sacrificed myself for him, yet he couldn't even look at me or pay attention to me. His eyes, just like his heart and attention, had solely been on my sister...
