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?

    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

    Valeria As the night grew darker and quieter, I found myself wandering the grounds of the packhouse, trying to make sense of the chaos that had become my life. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale glow over the trees, and the crisp air filled my lungs, helping to clear my head. I needed this. A moment to breathe, to think, to figure out what the hell I was going to do next.Returning to Shadowfang with Kade felt like my only option. With the council and half the pack against me, staying here was too dangerous. And yet, the thought of going back to Shadowfang didn’t exactly fill me with relief either. Kade had lied to me. He had kept the truth about who I was hidden, and while I understood his fears, it didn’t erase the betrayal I felt. I didn’t know how to feel about him now.And then there was Rylan. I sighed, rubbing my temples as I remembered the confrontation earlier.“Do you still want to reject me?” Rylan had asked, his voice raw with emotion. His piercing eyes searched

    ValeriaThe journey to Shadowfang pack was shrouded in a thick, uncomfortable silence. I glanced at Kade from time to time, his profile hard and unreadable as he drove us through the dense forest that separated the two territories. The tension between us was palpable, almost suffocating, but I wasn’t ready to break it just yet. There was so much left unsaid, so much I didn’t know how to address. His betrayal still stung, the fact that he had kept such a monumental secret from me,my identity, my powers,made it difficult to trust him fully again.I crossed my arms and leaned back against the seat, staring out the window at the blurred scenery. My mind was swirling with thoughts about everything that had happened,the council’s dissent, being named the Luna Queen, the mysterious figure from last night who claimed to know more about my power than I did. And then there was Rylan, whose question still echoed in my mind: Do you still want to reject me?I sighed softly, trying to clear my head

    ValeriaThe night air felt thick as I stood before Malachai, my heart pounding with the weight of his words. Valeria Nightshade. The name echoed in my mind, unfamiliar and unsettling. I crossed my arms, narrowing my eyes at him, trying to keep my composure.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said firmly. “I’m Valeria Blackthorn. The Nightshades are… they’re dead. The royal family was wiped out… the Alpha King and his entire bloodline.”Malachai’s lips curled into a smile, dark and knowing. His eyes, gleaming with amusement, seemed to pierce through me. “Is that what you think?” he asked, his voice low and mocking. “Do you really think that’s the whole story? Or do you just believe whatever you’ve been fed by those around you?”I clenched my jaw, resisting the urge to snap at him. His arrogance grated on my nerves, but there was something else there, something unsettling, as if he knew more than I could comprehend. He was toying with me, playing on the doubts that had alread

    Valeria The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silver glow over the forest as I shifted into my wolf form, my fur rippling under the cool night breeze. The events of the day weighed heavily on me… Mikaela’s incessant jabs, the constant whispers of doubt from those around me, and the looming threat of Malachai’s words still echoing in my mind. I needed space, a moment to breathe away from all of it.The ground beneath my paws was soft, the familiar earth giving me comfort as I ran through the woods. The wind rushed past me, and for a brief moment, I felt free… free of expectations, of doubt, of the burdens that had been placed upon me. It was just me and the wild, a part of me that no one could take away. But as much as I wanted to lose myself in the peace of the night, something in the air felt off, like the shadows themselves were watching.Suddenly, I caught a scent. It was faint at first but unmistakable, Malachai. A low growl rumbled from deep within my chest as I slowed my pac

    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
