Valeria

I was still trembling as I turned away from Rylan, each step feeling heavier than the last. My heart was breaking, shattering into jagged pieces that cut deeper with every breath. I had to leave. If I stayed any longer, I’d lose my resolve. My chest ached with the finality of what I had just done, but I knew it was the right choice. He had already made his decision by binding himself to Seraphina, and I couldn’t compete with that.

But before I could reach the door, Rylan’s hand shot out and grabbed mine. His grip was firm, but not painful, as he pulled me back toward him.

“Valeria, wait,” he said, his voice thick with desperation.

I froze, refusing to meet his gaze. My body tensed as he moved closer, his presence suffocating, but I didn’t have the strength to push him away. Not again. I felt him step in front of me, his hand still holding mine, as if he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go.

“There has to be another way,” he whispered, his voice softer now, more tender. “I’m

    ValeriaI stormed out of the room, my breath coming in sharp bursts, heart beating like a drum in my chest. I didn’t know where I was going; I just needed to be away from everything. Rylan, Seraphina, all of it. My head was a mess, emotions swirling in a chaotic storm that I couldn’t control. How could he? How could they all?Just as I turned the corner, too focused on my fury to watch where I was going, I crashed straight into someone. Stumbling back, I blinked up and found myself face-to-face with Aiden.“Valeria,” he said softly, his hand reaching out to steady me. His touch was gentle, cautious, like he could feel the anger vibrating off me.“Get out of my way,” I muttered, trying to shove past him, but Aiden didn’t move. He stayed firmly in front of me, his gaze calm but serious.“I know you’re angry,” Aiden said, his voice steady. “You have every right to be.”I narrowed my eyes, my patience already worn thin. “You don’t know anything, Aiden. You have no idea what I’m feeling.”

    Valeria The bull’s eyes glinted in the dying sunlight, and its nostrils flared as it pawed at the ground, clearly waiting for me to falter. My heart hammered in my chest as I stood frozen in the arena, my gaze locked on the beast. I could feel the weight of every eye in the crowd on me, but none of it mattered. All that mattered was keeping my focus.But it wasn’t easy.Memories started flooding in, pulling me back, distracting me from the here and now. The first time I had met Kade flashed before me like an old, faded film. He had been arrogant, a smirk always playing at the corners of his mouth, and I would have hated him on sight. Or at least, that’s what I’d told myself. I hadn’t wanted to admit that there had been something more—something magnetic about him that I couldn’t ignore, no matter how hard I tried. His nonchalance had irritated me at first, but then, somehow, it had become comforting. In a world full of chaos, Kade always seemed to be in control.But then came his fath

    ValeriaThe moment I stood back up, the world around me felt like a battlefield. My muscles ached, and every nerve in my body screamed in agony, but my mind was sharp. I had to fight. Not just for my survival, but for something bigger. I needed to prove myself—my innocence, my worth. Yet as soon as I locked eyes with the crowd, their faces twisted in disgust.“Murderer!”“Killer!”“Evil werewolf!”The shouts came fast, spewing venomous words from every corner. I could feel their hatred, sharp as a blade, cutting into me. These people had made up their minds. In their eyes, I was already guilty—guilty of crimes I hadn’t committed, of atrocities I had no part in. They saw me as something wicked, something monstrous.But I wasn’t going to let them win. I wasn’t going to be swallowed by their judgment. No, I was going to prove them wrong.The bull paced before me, snorting, the bull’s dark eyes gleaming with aggression. I had already lost the first part of the trial by breaking eye contac

    Valeria As I left the arena, my body still trembled from the adrenaline and the aftermath of using my powers. My mind was racing, struggling to grasp everything that had just happened. The crowd’s cheers still echoed in my ears—Luna Queen—but I felt distant from it all, as if I were walking through a dream I couldn’t wake from. The pressure of the title pressed heavily on my shoulders, and I wasn’t sure I was ready to carry it.I hadn’t gone far when I saw Jeric approaching me. His usually stern face was different this time, softer, as if something had shifted inside him. His eyes were filled with remorse, and his steps were hesitant. I stopped in my tracks, wary of what he wanted now.“Luna Valeria,” Jeric called out, his voice low and filled with an unexpected vulnerability. He bowed his head slightly, which caught me off guard.“Jeric?” I asked, confused. Was this the same man who had practically thrown me into this trial, who had doubted me from the start?“I owe you an apology,”

    Malachai The moonlight filtered through the dense fog that clung to the edges of the forest, casting silver shadows on the ground. I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming against the wooden armrest, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. The fire in the hearth crackled and flickered, but its warmth was nothing compared to the anticipation burning in my chest. I had been waiting for this moment for so long, watching, biding my time, waiting for my dearest Valeria to fulfill her destiny.Just as my thoughts were beginning to drift, the door to my study burst open, and Dorian appeared, her eyes wild with urgency.“Malachai,” she breathed, her voice a mixture of excitement and panic. “It’s happened. Valeria… she revealed her powers.”I raised an eyebrow, though inwardly, I felt a thrill rush through me. “Did she now?” I asked, my voice steady and calm. I had always known this day would come, but hearing the confirmation from Dorian only solidified what I had sensed through the tr

    Valeria The room was suffocating. Every breath I took felt heavy, like the weight of a hundred eyes pressing down on me. I stood in the center, trying to remain composed as the pack elders and council members whispered amongst themselves, their murmurs thick with distrust. Jeric had just finished his impassioned endorsement of me as the Luna Queen, his words hanging in the air like a fragile thread. But even his loyalty couldn’t quiet the unease that stirred in the room.“She cannot be trusted,” an elder, Lorne, spoke out, his voice low but firm. His eyes locked on mine, and I could feel the judgment radiating from him. “This is the same woman who was banished from the wolf pack. The same woman connected to the death of the Alpha King. How can we, in good conscience, support her rise to power?”I clenched my fists at my sides, willing myself not to react. Not yet. I had to hear them out, even though every fiber of my being was screaming for me to defend myself.“I agree with Lorne,”

    ValeriaThe whispers had started as little more than a faint hum, an annoyance I could ignore in the grand scheme of things. But as time passed, they grew louder, turning into a roar that followed me wherever I went. It was as if every step I took was shadowed by the doubt and fear of those who didn’t believe I deserved the title of Luna Queen.It wasn’t just a few anymore. The dissenters were gathering strength, forming secret factions in the dark corners of the pack. They spread rumors like wildfire, fanning the flames of suspicion until even those who had once supported me began to question my intentions. I’d walk through the halls, and I could feel the eyes on me—glaring, watching, waiting for me to slip up, to prove their worst fears true.It hurt. More than I wanted to admit, it hurt that they thought I had manipulated the trial, that I had somehow used my power to control the bull and steal the title. I had never wanted any of this. I didn’t ask for the power, the responsibilit

    Valeria I sat by the window, staring out into the darkness beyond the trees, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a suffocating fog. No matter how hard I tried to push through, to keep my head up, the doubts kept creeping in. Would I ever be enough for them? Could I ever earn their trust, or would I always be the outcast, the one they feared more than they respected?My thoughts were interrupted by the soft creak of the door behind me. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. His presence was like a pulse in the air, steady and strong, filling the space with a kind of warmth I’d come to crave.Aiden.“You’re brooding again,” he said quietly, his voice low and comforting.I didn’t respond at first, still lost in the storm of my own thoughts. But I felt him move closer, his steps light on the wooden floor until he was standing just behind me. I could feel the heat radiating off his body, and it sent a shiver down my spine.“It’s hard not to brood when the world see

    KadeThe weight of everything pressing down on me was almost unbearable as I walked through the corridors of the Shadowfang packhouse. My mind was still on Valeria—on how much she had been through, how her world had been turned upside down, and how, despite all of it, she was still standing strong. She had gone through so much already, and now she was living with the constant threat of Malachai’s twisted ambition looming over her. I couldn’t help but feel helpless.But I had responsibilities here too. I couldn’t let Shadowfang fall apart while Valeria was away. The pack needed me. The pack needed me.As I walked past the pack’s dining hall, the clinking of silverware and low murmurs of conversation caught my attention. It wasn’t the first time I’d heard this particular voice, but it always grated on my nerves just the same. I paused for a moment, glancing into the room. There, seated at the long dining table, was Mikaela.Her eyes met mine immediately, and the smile that spread across

    Valeria The soft rustle of pages turning was the only sound in the library, my eyes scanning the text before me, desperate to uncover anything that might give me some insight into the Nightshade family. I had found the book myself, tucked away in the far corner of the packhouse’s library, one that had piqued my curiosity. It had an old, worn leather cover, its pages yellowed with age, and the scent of dust and parchment filled the air as I flipped through it.The book wasn’t like the others I’d come across; it wasn’t just about history or magical theory—it was a lineage book, a collection of stories and records about the Nightshade family. My heart beat faster with each page I turned. The further I went, the more details I uncovered about the Nightshades’ legacy. They were no ordinary family. This was no mere royal bloodline. This was the family that had been at the center of everything—controlling not just packs, but holding unimaginable power and magic. They weren’t just royalty—t

    ValeriaSelene took a seat at the dining table, her eyes flicking between Aiden and me with an air of entitlement. The tension in the room was suffocating, a quiet storm building in the spaces between us. I could feel her gaze burning into me as she delicately placed her hands on the table, giving a sweet, mocking smile.“You know, I’ve always found it amusing,” Selene began, her voice light and casual, “how some people think they’re so special just because they’ve been labeled with a title.” Her eyes darted toward me, thinly veiled venom in her tone. “Being called the Luna Queen doesn’t make you royalty, Valeria. It doesn’t change the fact that you’re still… well, let’s just say, inexperienced in a lot of things.”I clenched my hands under the table, willing myself to stay calm. I wasn’t going to let her rattle me, no matter how hard she tried. But her words still stung, especially with Aiden sitting right there. He remained silent, his eyes flicking between us, clearly trying to avo

    ValeriaThe moonlight streamed through the large windows of the packhouse, casting a soft glow across the room as I sat on the bed. My mind was still reeling from my encounter with Selene earlier in the day. It was hard to shake off the tension her arrival had caused, but I knew I needed to focus on more important things—like Aiden. He had been quiet, his face tight with worry ever since Selene showed up, and I could sense the turmoil brewing inside him.I heard the door creak open and glanced up to see Aiden stepping into the room. His brows were furrowed, his shoulders tense. He had been on edge since our conversation with Selene, and I knew it was eating away at him. He paced the room for a moment before sitting down heavily beside me, running a hand through his hair.“I can’t believe this is happening,” he muttered, his voice low and strained. “Selene… of all people, she shows up now. After all this time, when I thought she was—” He broke off, his jaw clenching as if the words wer

    Valeria The morning air was crisp as I made my way down the hall, lost in my thoughts. Aiden had been doing everything he could to make me comfortable here at Stormclaw, and for the most part, it had been working. But ever since that woman—Selene—had shown up, I felt a tension in the air, one I couldn’t ignore. It wasn’t that I feared her, but I knew she wasn’t here without reason. People didn’t just come back from the dead without some agenda.As I turned the corner, I wasn’t surprised to see her standing there, leaning casually against the wall. Her blonde hair fell in perfect waves down her back, and she had this smug expression on her face like she was waiting for me.“Valeria,” she said, her tone dripping with false sweetness. “I was wondering when we’d have a chance to talk. Alone.”I kept my expression neutral, refusing to rise to whatever bait she was trying to dangle in front of me. “Selene,” I replied, keeping my voice calm, though I could feel the heat simmering just benea

    Aiden I stood in the hallway, watching as Selene unpacked her things, her old room slowly coming back to life around her. It felt surreal, like stepping into a memory that had long since faded, but was now being forced back into focus. She moved around the room with a certain ease, as if no time had passed at all, like she hadn’t been gone for months and everything was still the way it had been before. But things had changed—I had changed.She glanced over her shoulder, catching me watching her. “What? You’re just going to stand there?” she asked, raising an eyebrow with a hint of a smirk.I didn’t respond immediately. I was still trying to wrap my head around all of this, the fact that she was here again, alive and unpacking as if she planned on staying. I leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, my mind running in circles.Selene turned back to her suitcase, folding a shirt neatly before placing it in the drawer. “Well, I guess it’s my turn to ask questions now,” she said, her v

    Aiden The moment Selene’s name left my lips, I knew it was going to be a long night. She was standing in the dining room like a ghost from the past, a figure I never thought I’d see again, let alone here, in Stormclaw. My muscles tensed, the familiar scent of her filling the air, though it was tinged with something darker now—something I didn’t recognize.“Aiden,” she said again, her voice smooth and dripping with mock sweetness, “Didn’t you miss me?” Her words were accompanied by a coy smile, one that used to have a hold over me, but now? It just made me wary.I couldn’t respond right away. I didn’t even know where to start. The last time I’d seen her—no, the last time anyone had seen her—she was dead. Or at least that’s what I’d been told. The rumors of her death spread like wildfire, consuming everything in its path. I hadn’t even known how to feel about it back then, but now… standing here in front of her again, I felt like the ground was shifting beneath my feet.Before I could

    Valeria The past few days had been the most peaceful I’d experienced in months. Here in Aiden’s pack, Stormclaw, there was a serenity that wrapped itself around me, quieting the storm that usually raged inside. The constant tension that had followed me seemed to dissipate, allowing me to breathe without the weight of the world pressing down on my chest. I could almost forget about Malachai’s threat and the lingering danger that loomed on the horizon.Aiden had been a constant source of comfort. Every day, he found new ways to make me feel safe, and though I had my moments of doubt, being with him made it easier to believe that things could turn out okay. He even went out of his way to bring me books from the pack’s library—one in particular caught my attention.“This one looked like something you’d enjoy,” Aiden said, handing me the book with a grin. His golden eyes sparkled with mischief, but there was an earnestness to the gesture that made my heart warm.I took the book, examining

    Valeria The air in Stormclaw had a different feel to it—less stifling than in Shadowfang, and certainly less tense than I’d felt back in Lycora. Despite the looming threat of Malachai and the chaos in my life, Aiden’s pack had an almost calming effect on me. It was as if, for a brief moment, I could breathe. But still, the weight of what was happening gnawed at me. I couldn’t forget that I had left Kade behind, and that Malachai was out there, searching for me.That night, after settling in for what was supposed to be a quiet evening, Aiden surprised me. He knocked gently on my door, the soft sound breaking through my racing thoughts.“Valeria,” he said, leaning against the doorframe, his usual playful smirk in place. “I was thinking… how about we get out of here for a while?”I arched a brow, curiosity piqued. “What do you mean, ‘get out of here?’”Aiden pushed off the frame and took a few steps closer, his golden eyes shimmering in the dim light of the room. “There’s a place not fa
