VALERIE It felt like my whole world crumbled the instant I saw them. “Are you leaving without our permission?" He asked, making chills break out in my body. He frowned deeply at my silence and gripped my chin, digging his fingers into my skin. “Didn't you promise never to step out of this Pack ever again, why are you putting your poor mother in danger?" My heart skipped as his words echoed in my head like a warning. “I… I…" I was too dumbstruck to say a word. He looked up, piercing Bianca with his eyes. Bianca shuddered and cringed back, her eyes filled with fear. “You helped her again, didn't you?" He growled, his eyes fixed on Bianca. Bianca shook her head, her lips trembled in mortification and she staggered back. Lucian let go of me and walked towards her with a clenched fist. I gasped out and gripped his hand, compelling him to stop. “No, she isn't at fault here. I was ordered to leave the Pack!" I screamed out. He craned his head backward and chuckled. “And who
VALERIE I didn't want to believe it. I wished it wasn't what was on my mind. “I will protect you, I will make sure no one stops you from leaving this Pack,” his assuring words sent shivers down his spine. I was afraid that he would get into trouble, I knew Lucian and Killian wouldn't let his action slide just like that. “Damion!" Lucian's growl made the windows in the hall burst open. I shuddered in fear, not for my life but for the safety of Damion. I quickly pushed him away, and an alarm spread across my face. “No, Damion, please let it be," I muttered and Damion only scoffed stubbornly and faced Lucian with a frown on his face. “Let go of her hand!" He snapped. I looked down at my hands and realized that Lucian was still holding my wrist while Damion held the other. “Don't cross your limits, Damion, don't you dare!" Killian snapped and Damion faced him boldly. “Do your worst!" He growled in return. Killian clenched his fist and sprinted towards Damion. “Stop it!" The
VALERIE I should have been scared at his arrival, but somehow I wasn't. Instead, I was furious for barging into my room unannounced. “The Luna Queen instructed you to stay away from me!" I snapped. He chuckled, slipping his hands into his pants pocket. “The Luna Queen?" He scoffed, and Arlene frowned but tried not to show it. “Have you forgotten what position I hold in the Pack? I am the strongest and highest member of the Blood Moon Pack, I am the Lycan king of the entire wolf kingdom!" He snapped, pride dancing in his gray eyes. I narrowed my eyes in disgust and scoffed to his surprise. “Is that why you're using your power to abuse those beneath you? That isn't power…" I paused, slammed my eyes shut, and, with a thumping heart, spat out the remaining words. “That is foolishness!" Gasps escaped from Arlene and Bianca and my feet froze as I awaited his reaction. I heard a low chuckle and that compelled me to open my eyes. My brows snapped up in surprise when I saw amuseme
VALERIE I stared at Lucian's bare back, my hand tightened around the handle of the knife. My heart thumped loudly as I took a few steps towards him, my blood boiling in anger, the desire to sink the knife into his chest grew strongly, completely taking over my mind.I wanted to stare at him till he took his last breath; I wanted to watch his dark blood form a deep pool in the room. I wanted freedom and revenge, I was ready to risk my life to destroy him and his brother.I took a deep breath and raised the knife, ready to bring it down to his back. Before the blade could kiss his skin, he spun around, and the knife slipped out of my hand.I gasped out and took a step back, staring at the knife that managed to give me away.His eyes followed mine and he chuckled while staring at the knife.He bent down and picked up the knife then took a few steps towards me, hitting my face with his hot breath.His face held a smirk as he twirled the knife in his hand.“You want to kill me?" He mut
VALERIE Lucian broke the kiss and I quickly craned my neck backwards. My heart leaped when I saw the Luna's dismayed eyes on us. Her fist slowly clenched as she scowled murderously at me. “You whore!" She growled, sprinting towards us with her hand raised in the air. My paralyzed body couldn't move from where I sat on Lucian's lap. I snapped my eyes shut, ready to accept the slap. Lucian pushed me up and a loud thud forced me to open my eyes. I saw the blood on the Luna's face drain as she staggered back, staring at her hand like there was a monster sitting on it. “My Lord," she stuttered in disbelief, her lips trembling in fear. I glanced over at Lucian and gasped when I saw the red stretches of marks on his right cheek. The thought of the Luna Queen slapping the Lycan king made my heart twitch in pain. That was how I realized the reason for her behavior. “Forgive me," she blurted out in a wavering voice. Lucian chuckled and licked his lips before facing the Luna Queen. “
VALERIE I was taken aback at first when his lips met mine. Slowly, like the casting of a love spell, he pushed me into his domain and took control of my being, leading me, guiding me, and drawing me into an insane passion that might be our ruin. At that heated moment, I didn't care, he didn't care. All we cared about was our hands that explored each other's bodies. I moaned out as my back hit the cold wall behind me. His hands traced my thighs up to the fabric that covered the folds of skin between my thighs. I gasped out and gripped his broad shoulders, sinking my nails into his flesh. His fingers traced my back, and his breath teased my bare neck, sending shivers rushing down my spine. My mind snapped and I pushed him off, panting hard. “Stop!" I snapped and brushed my hair back, wondering what got into me earlier. “We shouldn't do this," I muttered and he nodded, getting back to his senses too. “I am sorry," he replied. We stood in that beautiful garden which was filled
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
ADRIANA We sat in silence, engulfed in fear and the uncertainty of who would be the next to die.Every glance at the dark door brought terror and dread to our souls.I thought of transforming to my wolf form but a bullet wheezed into my body could take me to my grave. I wasn't ready to die yet, I needed my mate and I needed to be happy and free from my family.A grip on my wrist brought me back to reality, I tilted my head around to look at Diana whose face was as pale as that of a ghost.Her cracked lips trembled in fear and her eyes were red and sunken from shedding of tears.“Are we going to survive?" Her voice was ghostly, much lower than a whisper.“Are we?" She repeated, her eyes filled with hope and almost lifeless.“I don't know, Diana, I doubt if we'll survive this," I replied.I thought her voice was ghostly and almost dead but mine was worse. It lacked life and hope, it sounded like that of someone on the verge of death with no hope to fight the sting of death off.Pain
KILLIAN A slam at the door with my feet got it flying open. I and Neil walked into the house and took the small flights of stairs that led to his bedroom. I stepped back from the door and smashed my feet on it and it fell apart. “Fucking get the–" his words to someone on the phone stopped flowing. He spun around, eyes as wide as saucers as he glared from me to Neil. “Who the hell are you?" He stuttered, shifting back in wobbly legs. I sauntered fully into the room, observing the untidy room. Clothes and articles were scattered on the floor and bed. Two suitcases were thrown open behind him and piles of clothes were in them. It was obvious that he was running away. “Miles Sinclair, right?” I muttered and his eyes narrowed. “What the hell do you want?" He snapped hoarsely. “The illegitimate son of Dominic Sinclair, the Alpha of Westwood Pack," I muttered and he twitched up his lips in anger and confusion. “How did you know the circumstances surrounding my birth?" He snappe
ADRIANA A loud gasp escaped from my lips the moment my eyes snapped open. I tilted my head to the side and whimpered as pain shot through my body.After swallowing as much air as I could grasp, I began to observe the unfamiliar environment that I was in.Dismay slowly crept into my body, tightening my chest as I stared at the room that we were in, what surprised me the most was the discovery that I wasn't alone.There were other girls in the room as well, fifteen in number. I recognized about six of them from the VVIP room and the rest seemed to be from somewhere else.Where in the world am I? How did I get there?I slammed my eyes shut and tried to remember the events that took place before I fell unconscious.I remembered the crashing of bottles, screams,, and the shrill ringing of gunshots.I also remembered something hitting my head before I drowned in darkness.But what happened before that chaos began? FLASHBACK My brows raised in question when Diana muttered those
KILLIAN The drive was rough and fast, filled with anger and the thirst for something red, something like blood. When we got to the Hyena, darkness had taken over the sky, and the night crawlers were all out, littering the streets in see-through, inviting dresses and loose jeans. "Jerome has sent the scan code, Alpha," Neil said as he scanned the building. I hummed and turned on my phone. The scan code popped up on my screen immediately after the phone was turned on. "Let's go," I muttered, and we got out of the car. But as we walked towards the building, I paused and turned, facing Neil. "Stay back in the car and watch out for any suspicious activity," I said, and he threw his head back, rebellion dancing in his eyes. "But, my lord—" “Keep silent and obey my order," I snapped, and he flinched back, rebelling in silence. I spun around and continued walking towards the Hyena.When I got close to the men who guarded the entrance, I pulled out my phone and showed them the scan
KILLIAN The door burst open and I looked up from the file before me. Neil walked in with worry etched against his face. I raised my brows, waiting for the bad news he was always good at breaking. “We have a problem, Alpha," he muttered and I scoffed, not surprised. “What is it this time around, Neil?" I asked, glancing back at the paperwork on the desk. “Some of our girls are missing," his answer was almost like a whisper. I snapped my head up and he took a step back, waiting for my reaction. “Missing?" I scoffed, filled with anger and surprise. He nodded, his worried eyes fixed on me as he awaited my decision. “Does my brother know about this?" I asked and he shook his head. I sighed out and dropped the pen then leaned back into the chair, slamming my eyes shut. “Where was the last place they were spotted?" I asked. I could tell that Neil hesitated before answering the question as some seconds passed by before he answered. “At a party.” My eyes snapped open and I jolt
ADRIANA Meg flinched as I screamed and shattered another cup on the tray. After what happened in the throne room, I haven't been myself. To think that my brothers supported that sex slave against my mother and me was thrilling. “I can't believe this, I can't believe that he's supporting her instead of me. She is… she is bewitching my brothers, I can feel it," I gasped out, groaning loudly. "I will destroy her, I won't let her keep controlling my brothers,” I muttered and groaned out again. “My lady, you should eat something," Megan muttered. I spun around and slapped her hard on the cheeks. She gasped and staggered back, blood dripping from her swollen lips. “Keep your mouth shut if you have nothing to say!" I snapped and she whimpered, muttering an inaudible apology. I scoffed loudly and picked up my phone then dialed Diana's number. My relief washed over me as she picked up on the second ring, her assiduous voice filtering into my ear. “You won't believe what happened,
VALERIE I tried to wriggle again but he held my body down with his large hand, his eyes glimmering with emotions that I recognized to be dark and evil. “Stop struggling, it's not gonna help you get away," Lucian whispered, running his fingers along my neck. “Let me go, I promise to obey the Luna Queen for the rest of my life!" I whimpered even though some parts of me wanted them to keep me with them that night. “Really?" Killian snickered as he ran his fingers along my thighs, rubbing them together as his fingers slowly moved up. He grazed the flesh between my thighs, which was hidden under my underwear; my body shuddered at the contact. A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he slipped his fingers into my underwear and slipped one of his fingers into my cunt, I winced and tilted my head to the side, feeling the tightening of my core. I pulled his hand out and waved his fingers across my face. “But it says the opposite," he muttered and I glanced at his finger.
VALERIE “We aren't going to reject her, but we'll make her pay for this,” Killian muttered. Somehow, I felt relief wash through my body and I sighed out. Adriana frowned and shook her head in disagreement. “You have to reject her. You can't keep her after what she did to Mother!” Adriana snapped, the smile that was once on her face some minutes ago dissolved into a dark frown. “Keep quiet and go back to your room,” Lucian muttered coldly, his frightening eyes fixed on her. She shuddered as she stepped away, glaring at me from the corner of her eyes. “Adriana is right, you have to kick her away. Keeping her here will be insulting to me!" The Luna Queen remarked, twitching up her lips in anger as she directed a sharp glare at me. Lucian craned his head in her direction, a scowl on his handsome face. “Do you hate her to the extent of hurting yourself?” Lucian muttered and the Luna Queen snapped her head up. I looked around, wondering who they were referring to. The Lycan b
VALERIE I thought of ways to explain to them and make them understand that this was just a game, but nothing came to my mind. All I could do was sigh and stutter, stepping back as they continued to approach me. “Listen to me, please, I didn't…” “Be quiet!” Lucian growled, his darkened eyes forcing me to keep silent. “You dare try to hit the queen? Because... Because... The moon goddess decided to taunt us by making you our mate?” Lucien muttered and my belly churned. Unbearable pain surged through me and my heart constricted in agony. I couldn't believe that they said that to me, publicly. “Maybe... this discovery is beginning to get into your head,” Killian said and poked my head with his fingers. This unexpected action caused me to stagger back, almost flinching to the ground. Killian stepped forward, and I backed away from them. He snapped his head closer, his eyes dark and threatening as he whispered words that made my blood freeze. “We are going to cut your wings and ma
