VALERIE Before a scream could escape my lips, Damion dragged me down to the ground and clasped his hand against my mouth. My eyes were as wide as saucers as I stared at the huge creature which didn't have any features of a wolf or a Lycan. It looked like a beast, a terrible-looking beast! Damion's grip on my hand tightened and I could tell that he was staring at what I was staring at. “We need to leave this place immediately," he whispered, showering my neck with his hot breath. I nodded my head, my eyes and attention fixed on the beast which stood at a large clearing, perhaps waiting for any slight noise from its prey We needed no one to tell us that the prey it was waiting for was the both of us. Damion helped me up to my feet and signaled for me to keep quiet and remain cautious. I obeyed him and followed his steps, lifting my feet slowly after the other, even my breath was kept low. Though, I was afraid that the loud thumping of my heart could betray us. My eyes brig
Lucian My fist clenched in anger when her head dropped on Damion's chest. Boalik shifted away from them and bowed submissively to us; the dire wolf did the same, and Killian trudged towards them. "I command you to return to your den," he ordered. The creatures turned around, and each of them went back to where they resided. Our eyes shifted back to Valerie and my heart constricted in indignation. “Why the hell did you bring her here?" I growled in anger, glaring murderously at Damion. “Why don't you help me first before asking questions!" He snapped back and my blood boiled in anger. I balled my fist and marched towards him but Killian held me back. “We need to get her to the Pack doctor before the venom gets to her heart," he whispered into my ear and shifted my attention back to Valerie. Her beautiful skin had gone pale and the venom which covered her body seemed to have permeated into her body through her skin. “It must be flowing in her bloodstream by now," Killian
LUCIAN His head snapped back and his eyes bulged. His lips opened and slammed shut as he struggled to speak, making me feel more suspicious about his behavior.“Don't you remember?" I groused and the blood on his face drained.Killian gripped his chin and forced him to look into his blazing eyes.“What the hell is wrong with your memory, huh? Why can't you remember anything?” He growled, sinking his nails into his flesh.Damion winced, struggling to get Killian off his chin.“You are beginning to make me believe that you are an imposter," I muttered and he stiffened.His glaring eyes found my face and he turned up his lips in anger.“What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that I'm fake?" He snapped.I tilted my head backward and ran my hands through my hair, forgetting all about Valerie, who was struggling with the venom in her body.“Then prove yourself,” I muttered and he huffed loudly.He parted his lips to speak but the voice of the Pack's doctor stopped him.We spun aro
VALERIE I gasped out, my heart shrinking at the words that filtered into my ears. I stared wide-eyed at the three of them, my head swirling at Damion's outburst. I staggered back and gripped the latch on the door, trying to comprehend what I heard. “You killed his mate?" I stuttered, staring at them in disbelief. “You are awake?" Killian asked, no ounce of guilt gripped him. He acted like what I said was irrelevant. “Did you kill his mate?" I snapped, tears gathering up in my eyes. Lucian scoffed and turned around, glaring intimidatingly at me. “How is that your business to know?" He snapped in reply and I huffed, shaking my head at the nonchalant behavior he was exhibiting. “You killed your cousin's mate and yet you–" Lucian's loud groan shut me up. “Get back to the doctor's quarter!" He roared but I remained rooted at the spot stubbornly. “No, I won't go anywhere! You have to answer my question first!" Killian was taken aback by my bold outburst, Lucian's brows shot u
VALERIE My chest constricted as I looked up and found Adriana's eyes on me. I gulped and looked away, avoiding her murderous glare. “I can't believe a lowly sex slave is jumping into where she isn't supposed to be!” She snapped. I scoffed and folded my hands under my breasts, returning the glare. She pursed her lips and strolled towards me before yanking my hair. I screamed in pain and tried to shake off her tight grip but she didn't budge, instead she tightened her grip on my hair. “Stop!" I screamed, my head burning in pain. "First, you caused a rift between the Lycan kings and my cousin. Now you have put Damion's life in danger,” she snarled, and my heart constricted in guilt. I hoped that Damion was safe. I hated myself for bringing trouble into the royal family. “I am going to deal with you!" Her growl shot into my mind as she tightened her grip on my hair. “My lady, please, she hasn't recovered fully from–" She didn't wait for Bianca to finish speaking before slappin
VALERIE His words left an unsettling reaction in my body. My belly flustered and my cheeks heated up.I began to wonder what I had done to him too.“What have you done to me too?" I asked in the same voice, looking directly into those eyes He batted his lashes and my heart leaped at the perfect way he did it. Just that act could make any woman insanely fall for him and surprisingly, I was that woman. I was falling crazily for his deception and seduction. My core was throbbing madly for a mere touch, and my panties, which were soaked, begged to be pulled off.I rubbed his broad smooth shoulders and trapped him in between my thighs, wrapping my legs around his waist.“What have I done to you?" He muttered in the most alluring voice that I had ever heard. “Shouldn't you answer me first, little Val. What in the world have you done to me?" His voice was calm yet serious.I didn't want to believe his words which sounded unbelievable and realistic at the same time.I parted my lips, searc
VALERIE My heart stopped beating and I felt like I would die at the moment as his eyes gazed into mine. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that I had been caught, and it was certain that no amount of words would be able to defend me. I was caught right in the act, red-handed. His chuckle made my pulse race as I wondered what he was planning to do. He slipped the knife out of my grip and pulled me down to the bed, with the blade on my neck. I gasped out in horror and slammed my eyes shut, clenching unto the wet sheets as I waited for him to slit my throat. “Little Val, why do you want me dead?" His whisper was terrifying, it caused chills to rush down my spine. ‘Because you deserve it!’ I wanted to scream those words out but refrained because of the surgical blade on my throat. “Hmmm?" His seductive voice caused a stir in my belly but I waved it off, refusing to succumb a second time. He teased my neck with his breath and I shuddered. “I will let you go for this one but I
VALERIE With my face wrinkling in pain, I winced loudly as he dragged me out of the field. I craned my neck backward, and guilt enveloped me as I stared pitifully at Omar, who was still wiping the blood that dripped from his cracked nose. I felt sorry for him and regretted coming out in the first place. Because of me, he was hit and humiliated; I hated myself for being the reason for people's pain. First was Bianca and Damion, now it was Omar. “Walk faster!" He growled, snapping me back to reality. I quickened my steps, avoiding his anger as much as I could. He didn't say a word to me as he pulled me into the manor and began to ascend the long tiring stairs that led to the royal floor. “Where… where are you taking me to?" I couldn't help but ask as tiredness began to drift into my body. He snapped a glare at me, and I kept shut throughout the rest of the walk to wherever he was taking me. My heart began to tighten in fear when we ascended into the large passageway that led t
VALERIE My throat knotted and my hand shook at her sudden words. "You want to talk about your life? I… I don't think…" She waved her hand and my lips slammed shut. "Don't worry about trust. We seem to share the same fate…" She paused and gulped down another glass of wine. I had the chance to stop her but the curiosity that bubbled in me and the selfishness that resided in my heart wouldn't let me take that step. I simply sat still, turning a blind eye as she consumed bottles of wine alone. "Alright then. I will listen to your life story," I said, smiling lightly. I could feel the eyes of the maidservant standing some inches away from me. I knew she felt disappointed that I let her mistress drink. She leaned into the chair, her fingers wrapped around her chin as she fixed her eyes steadily on the dark wardrobe. "I don't want to talk about my sister," she muttered, throwing her head to the side with an eye roll."Then… what do you want to talk about?" I asked.oyI felt like I
VALERIE "Your sister?" I gasped in surprise.She nodded her head in response and smiled sadly."She must mean a lot to you," I stuttered, cautious of the words that I blurt out."Yes, she does," she whispered and sighed, slamming her eyes shut.I watched her, silently hoping that she would open the wardrobe.She turned around and moved towards the table, my hopes dashing."I store my memories in there…" she spoke as she raised the glass of wine to her lips. She paused and dimmed her eyes, twirling the glass in her hand."Everyone of them." If not that I paid keen attention to her, I wouldn't have grabbed the words she whispered with sadness."Getting mated to the heir of the Nox family must come with lots of memories," I chuckled nervously."Yes, I had the most chaotic memory here in the Blood Moon Pack, especially with Renee around," she muttered and gulped down some of the wine in the glass.My throat knotted when she mentioned Renee.She dropped the glass on the table and waved m
VALERIE I followed Lucian to Killian's room, my heart thumping loudly in my chest in excitement. He didn't bother knocking before pushing the door open. Killian raised his head when we entered the room. He dropped the cup he was holding and leaned back into the bed, his eyes piercing into ours in a suspicious gaze. "Don't tell me you two have been fucking while I'm struggling with my life," he huffed, turning up his lips as he narrowed his eyes at us. "Why should I bother myself when I'm certain that you're going to live," Lucian muttered nonchalantly. I trotted towards Killian and took his hand, rubbing it gently. "I heard you got the antidote," he muttered. I raised my head and our eyes locked. I blushed lightly, my heart skipping beats as those blue eyes that I had always yearned to stare into consumed me. "Did you get hurt on the way?" He asked. I shook my head, too stunned to speak. His hand moved to my hair, and he brushed it back, a smile flickering across his enchan
VALERIE I almost choked when he whispered those words to me. "What… what?" I gasped, feeling the rush of blood in my face.""Don't you want to be sure you haven't lost your voice yet?" He teased, causing a smile to break out on my face. "Then I should see a doctor for my voice," I replied. Despite the desire I had for him, I still couldn't stop my stubbornness from showing up again.His hand moved to my hair, and he patted it gently before combing it down with his fingers."We don't need a doctor here, little Val, not when I'm right here," he whispered, teasing me with his hot breath against my neck. I shivered and giggled slightly.His hand traced up to my breast and he squeezed my hardened nipples, earning a gasp from me.He leaned forward and kissed my neck, placing love bites on my neck.I groaned out in pleasure, biting my lips as my eyes slammed shut in pleasure.My pussy was dripping wet, begging for an insertion of his fingers.He moved away and pushed his wavy hair back,
VALERIE Lucian parted his lips, ready to pass out his judgment on me. "Why should she be treated that way after what she went through to find the antidote?" Lucian questioned me, snapping a glare at Michelle. "Do you even have a conscience?" He snapped at Michelle and her jaws dropped. "How sure are you that she went to the Isle of the Blessed? It's possible that she stayed at a place and returned with a drug prepared by a witch!" She groused, still trying to turn Lucian against me. "Why don't you focus on helping him recover instead of laying blame!" Lucian growled at her and she jumped, embarrassment smeared against her face. "But…" Lucian grabbed me and raised my shirt, pointing at the wound on my belly. "Is that enough to prove that she went there? Will she hurt herself so bad to lie?" He snapped. He sighed and dug his hand into his hair, groaning in anger as he glared at her in annoyance. "She did her part by going to the cursed Isle and getting the antidote, why don't
VALERIE My heart stopped beating the moment his lips pressed against mine. A warm feeling washed over my body and my legs stopped shaking. He pulled away and blinked repeatedly before grasping my hand. His eyes held emotions that I couldn't interpret even though the meaning was clear to me and everyone surrounding us.His lips trembled, and his chest rose and fell, causing a knot to form in my throat."Go on," he whispered tenderly to me, brushing my hair back with his hand before letting go of my hand. He glanced over at Michelle and nodded towards her. "Come on, take her in and prepare the antidote for Killian," he said in a completely different tone. Happiness rippled through me, and I tried hard not to burst into laughter or mockery before everyone. Michelle, who was almost numb from shock nodded slowly and began to climb the stairs with heavy steps. A smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I trailed after Michelle. We didn't say a word to one another as we walked acros
VALERIE "My lady!" Beta Neil exclaimed and rushed towards the car I was in as we drove in. He pulled the door open and stood aside for me with his head bowed. I felt an unexplainable happiness and satisfaction rock my body the moment the car drove into the manor of the Blood Moon Pack. I stepped out of the car, my face radiating with a smile over my accomplishment. The Beta smiled when he saw me, excited that I came back alive with the antidote as well. "Alpha Killian is still alive, right?" I asked the moment I faced him. "Yes. We all have been waiting for your arrival," he replied and bowed again. I smiled and turned to face Theo and Liam. "Thank you for protecting me," I muttered. "No, my lady, we should be thanking you for saving our lives," Liam responded. I chuckled and rubbed their broad shoulders, earning shocked gasps from them before walking away with the beta. Everywhere looked quite different even though I had lived there for months. Perhaps, it was the effect
VALERIE I narrowed my eyes at her question and scoffed. I was certain that she wasn't happy that I was back. "Shouldn't I be asking you that instead?" I asked, glaring at her. "You didn't seem to get punished for your sassy behavior over there," she muttered."Why? Are you disappointed to find out that none of the traumas I faced there broke me down?" I blurted out, making sure that the mockery was evident in my voice.She scoffed and sat up, flipping her long lustrous hair to the side as she admired her manicure. My lips turned up as I watched her, slowly burning out my patience. "Why am I not in the Blood Moon Pack?" I snapped. "Hush!" She snapped, placing her hand over my heavily glossed lips. "You are in a sacred place. Do not make too much noise," she whispered. I twitched up my lips in disgust but unwillingly obeyed her. I looked around the room and realized that it was a living room. "How is a living room your sacred place?" I asked sassily. She darted her eyes in my
VALERIE I rose and stared at her pale body which had already gone limp under the chandelier.I felt no remorse for her or guilt for what I had done. She deserved every bit of the attack and every pain she felt when those glasses sank into her body.I turned around and began to walk away, clutching the pouch, which was the priceless item that I risked my life for.On getting to the door, my heart tightened and fear flashed through me.With shaking hands, I gripped the handles weakly and pushed the door.It pulled open at the slight nudge and my heart skipped in joy.I didn't waste a second more in that hall as I swiftly walked out.The moment my feet stepped out of the tower, I felt a wave coarse through me. A large smile appeared on my face and my feet shook in excitement. I didn't bother taking a look at the tower but proceeded with moving towards the dark waters. I took a deep breath, silently reciting the words that I had seen on the wall. Chills surged through my spine when my
