VALERIE The first thing that hit me the next morning was the pain that throbbed between my thighs. I groaned in agony and clenched onto the sheet, which was covered in semen, sweat, and drops of my blood.As I stood up, my wobbly feet refused to keep me steady and my sour clit only worsened the condition.I dropped down to the bed again and groaned in pain. Tears fell freely from my eyes as the painful memories of last night came flooding into my head. I was raped, I was made to see hell before me.Not only was my freedom taken away from me, but my dignity and happiness were taken away as well. I was left with nothing but sorrow and constant pain.The door burst open, taking my mind away from the overwhelming thoughts that surrounded me. I forced a smile into my face when I saw Bianca trudge. She flashed a smile back at me, but both of us could tell that the smiles on our faces were fake and full of sadness.My eyes drifted to her exposed neck and guilt enveloped me when I saw a slas
VALERIE The smile laced against my face vanished when I suspected that I was suspended in the air. My heart raced in anger when I noticed that my body was being dragged up and not down. I wrestled with whatever strange force that was, but unfortunately, I didn't win. My body dropped from the railings and back to the rooftop. I groaned loudly and hit my hand on the floor in rage, cursing whatever stopped me from dying. “Are you okay, Miss?" A melodic voice whispered into my ear and forced me to raise my head I glared at the handsome face that stared worriedly at me. “Are you trying to kill yourself?" He asked in a calm voice. “Are you so dumb that you didn't notice that?" I snapped at him. His eyes widened and he was taken aback by my response. His lips parted and slammed shut and he shook his head, running his eyes over my body. “Why don't you stop running away from your troubles and fight them instead, that will make you less weak,” a smirk tugged onto the corner of his li
VALERIE My jaws fell open in shock as I glared at him.He smiled in return and looked at the Luna, who was stunned by his response.“I want to dance with her," he repeated, waving his hands towards me.From the corner of my eyes, I watched Lucian approach us. My heart constricted, and I curled my toes into the ground, hoping nothing catastrophic would happen.The Luna sent an intimidating glare at me and forced a smile onto her face.“Fine, you are permitted to dance with her," she said with an unnoticed eye roll.Lucian stopped walking and glared at Damion as he walked towards me and took the tray.“Let's keep this aside for a while, huh?" He beamed.Adriana gasped out when Damion forced the tray into her hand and took mine.With a thumping heart and with the eyes of the royal family and the entire guests on me, Damion led me to the middle of the ballroom.His russet eyes twinkled as he dropped my clammy hand on his shoulder. I shuddered slightly when he wrapped his hand around my w
VALERIE “Be careful," Bianca muttered, her voice filled with concern as she watched me limp towards the bathroom. I got to the door and sighed, letting the tears drop out as much as they wanted. The memories came rushing in, playing with my mind. I parted my lips and broke into cries, dropping to the ground. Not only my pussy was hurt, my heart was hurt as well. I wished that I hadn't listened to Damion, I wished I had brushed his words aside and carried on with committing suicide Perhaps, if I had died, I wouldn't have gone through the hell I went through last night. It seemed like the torture for each night doubled over the other. “This is worse than death," I muttered in a quivering voice as I tried to suppress the pain that throbbed between my legs. Bianca rubbed her palm on my back, whimpering. “This is all my fault–" “No, it's not. I blame the moon goddess for giving me such a terrible fate," I muttered, my throat tightening. I glanced at the wounds they inflicted o
VALERIE It felt like the world stopped rotating when our lips met. His lips tasted like coffee, and I couldn't help but want to get drowned in it. I clasped my hands around his neck, totally forgetting the reason why I did it. Damion moaned and grabbed my waist, slamming my body against his. My senses returned and I broke the kiss. We stared into the eyes of each other, breathing heavily and reminiscing on what just happened between us.“I… I…" I stuttered, too dumbstruck to say a word.Damion smiled and let go of my waist, helping me stand upright.“I loved it," he said with a grin on his face.I blushed and secretly looked across to the window. My heart skipped when I saw Killian still standing there, staring blankly at me.I wanted to tear my gaze away, but something that I couldn't understand pushed me to maintain awkward eye contact, neither blinking nor filled with fear.He moved away from the window and disappeared into the room, closing the shutter.“Did you do that…" Damion
VALERIE Her presence made me shudder. I slipped out of Killian's grip and bowed low to the ground.She took a few steps towards us, anger laced against her face.“You…" she paused and swerved her head in another direction.“Isn't that Damion?” She gasped, alarm laced in her voice.The servants surrounding her rushed towards Damion who was unconscious."Take him to the Pack's doctor, hurry!” She growled, waving the servants away.She swerved around and glared at me, shaking her accusing fingers.“What have you done to him?" She growled, burning me alive with her blazing eyes.“It's him," I said, pointing at Killian.Her brows snapped up in disbelief, and she looked at Killian, who grunted and looked away, less concerned.“I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen, he–”"Be quiet!” The Luna growled, raising her hand in the air.My heart shrank in despair and I bit my lips, looking at Killian with haughty eyes.Killian chuckled and furrowed his brows, narrowing his eyes at me.“Get ou
VALERIE My jaws dropped and I stared at the Luna in disbelief.“Huh?" I whispered, wishing she would repeat what she said, but she didn't. Instead, she scowled at me and got up from the throne.As she sauntered towards the doors, she paused but didn't turn around.“You have until tomorrow morning," she said, confirming her previous words.I gasped out and clasped my hand against my mouth. I didn't dare plead with her as she left.“You heard what she said, right? You better leave immediately!" Adriana snarled with a triumphant smirk on her face.“Stop it, Adriana!" Arlene snapped and cast a sympathetic glance at me before dragging her sister off.The pain on my face slowly disappeared and my downcast face lit up. A large grin spread across my face and I chuckled loudly as happiness rippled through my body.The sound of a clap made me spin around. The smile grew wider at the sight of Damion.“You did it," he said, covering the distance between us.My heartbeat increased as I watched hi
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 My jaw dropped and I stepped away, tilting my head as I stared at him in confusion.“What do you mean?" I asked, my heart thumping loudly in my chest.He smirked and pulled my hands into his pant pocket, a glee in his eyes.The room began to feel suffocating as silence trailed after my question.I spun around and stared at my mom, my eyes demanding an explanation.She darted her eyes towards Lucian's hardened face and fear swept across her pale face.“You won't tell me too?" I asked, huffing loudly.She picked on her nails and avoided my eyes, looking down at her feet.“Mom!" I snapped, filled with aggression.“Ugh…quit the noise already!" Killian snapped, narrowing his eyes at me.I glared at him and swerved my attention to Lucian who was leaning nonchalantly on the wall.“Who do you want me to kill?" I snapped, heaving loudly.He stared blankly at me and shrugged.“Your little brain is still active, right? Use it," he muttered.His words stung me greatly, making my heart tw
VALERIE I raised my brows in question and turned to face Killian.“What are we doing at my place?" I asked.Killian squared his shoulders as he looked down intimidatingly at me.“Have you become so attached to us that you can't let us go?" Killian smirked.Valerie twitched her lips up in disgust and scoffed loudly.“Attached?" She scoffed again and narrowed her eyes.“I only asked because I thought we… we were heading to the Blood Moon Pack," I stuttered, pouting out my lips in embarrassment.Killian chuckled and glanced at the house before leaning close to me.I winced and tried to flinch back but Lucian was sitting right next to me, preventing my attempt to move away from Killian.“What are you doing?” I snapped when I couldn't take in his behavior anymore. He chuckled, not moving back. His face was just a hair's breadth away from mine, and his breath brushed teasingly against my face, causing my face to flush red. “We are your mate. Why are you so frightened?” Killian muttered, a
VALERIE The sun rays that hit my eyes forced me to drag them open. I cried out as pain shot through my body. My heart skipped a beat as everything that happened last night came, haunting my memory, flooding in with no obstruction. They were my mates and they had marked me! I sprang up from the bed and gasped, touching my neck which was a bit swollen from the bite. I darted my eyes around the room only to find out that I was the only one in it.I couldn't believe it. Why do they have to be my mates? It should have been someone else. It shouldn't be them. Of all the women, why did the moon goddess choose me to spend the rest of my life with them? I couldn't bring myself to accept it. I couldn't imagine being their mate and having to endure them for the rest of my life. I wanted freedom, not slavery in the facade of being a Luna or the Lycan kings' mate. I shook my head in disagreement at the realization and got out of bed. Immediately my feet touched the cold floor, my pussy thro
VALERIE “Mate!” I gasped out and my heart tightened, threatening to shrink life out of my burning body. Their eyes dimmed and turned dark, causing me to flinch. Lucian grabbed my waist, almost crushing my bones to pieces. I saw shock dance around Killian's eyes as he drew his face closer. “You know?" Killian muttered and confusion sneaked into my distorted mind. My lips trembled as I tried to control the heat bubbling in me. Killian didn't wait for me to reply before slamming his lips on mine. I moaned out, the heat getting intense. Lucian's warm moist lips on the nape of my neck caused me to shiver in desire. I gasped out and grabbed Killian's shirt, pulling him closer. Lucian jerked me off the wall and slammed my body against his, leaning on the wall instead. He grabbed my left breast and squeezed it, causing me to groan in pleasure. Killian broke the kiss and stared intently into my eyes, burning me with the fire in his orbs. “Should I stop?" He whispered in a husky v
VALERIE The sound of Killian's voice caused my belly to flutter and my heart to shrink at the same time. I could have run away, but somehow, I couldn't. Maybe because he held me, or maybe because I just couldn't find the desire to run away any longer. He wrapped his hands around me protectively, drawing me close so that there was no space left between our bodies. “Little fox, you want to run away again? You want to have more people killed for your sake again?” My heart leaped at those words. I didn't want any more dead bodies, I didn't want any more blood, neither did I want any more accusations. I just wanted to be free from them and to have other people free as well. “No,” I snapped. He let out a dark chuckle, teasing my earlobe with his cold breath. “Then come back to us, and don't even think of running away again, because we will catch you, even if you go to the ends of the earth. Do you understand?” He muttered. I couldn't help but nod my head in response.
VALERIE My heart began to break, bit by bit as I stared at her pale face. My breath began to cease and my body started going stiff as well. I felt my breath leaving me and it felt like death was staring right at my face, laughing mockingly at me. Tears dropped from my eyes. As I lay still, letting him choke me down to the abyss. I was dying, yet I wasn't struggling. What was there to struggle about? I had lost everything. People had died because of me, even those who tried to save me. “Die, you little witch! Die!” He groaned, clenching harder onto my neck. Somehow, the pain wasn't there anymore. It felt like he was doing nothing, yet I could see my life slipping out of my grasp. I wanted no one to save me any longer. I wanted to die like he wanted. I didn't want to live anymore. I wanted to grant him his wish. But just as my eyes were about to shut down, the door burst open and I felt the weight of his hand on my neck being lifted. I coughed out loudly, wheezing as I
VALERIE I gasped out in shock and stepped back, my heart clenching in fear as I stared at his horrifying face. “Stay away from me!” I snapped and spun around to run back up the stairs but he grabbed my hand and dragged me back, slamming my back on the wall. “What do you think, that I'll let you go after causing such chaos in my town? Do you know how long it took me to build these people and gather them around? These same men attacked us; they attacked our original Packs and destroyed everything that belonged to us, including these people!” He growled, his eyes darkening in indignation.“I gathered these people around and formed a Pack outside the wolf kingdom, just to maintain peace and order. And then you… you come to destroy it?” He snapped, clenching onto my arm and digging his fingers into my flesh. I groaned out in pain and poked his chest, but he didn't budge. Instead, he moved closer, hitting my face with his hot, furious breath.“You…I'm going to kill you. Not because you
VALERIE My head snapped up and my eyes widened in shock as the familiar voice echoed in the assemblage. Only two people possessed that kind of authority in their voices— Killian and Lucian Nox.Confusion broke out in the crowd, and I staggered back, glancing around the place which had gone chaotic.“Run, Valerie, run!" Jade warned and I quickly nodded.I made to push past the priest and run off but the blade that wheezed into his neck caused me to flinch back, screaming out in horror.My scream alerted the people, and a series of screams of horror filled the air as everyone began to scamper away in different directions.My blood froze as I watched the priest throw up blood and drop down to the ground, going limp.I gasped for air, my eyes dilating.The screams that pierced the air and the blood that splashed on the podium messed up my mind.I crawled to a corner and hid there, shivering violently as arrows that flew in the air struck people down as they ran helter-skelter.“Valerie!
VALERIE “Oh my, you look like a goddess, my lady,” One of the girls commented, brushing my hair back. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and narrowed my eyes.On a normal day, I would have screamed in excitement at the transformation. But this wasn't a normal day. This was a bad day. In fact, the worst day. “I don't like it,” I muttered.The smiles on their face disappeared and they looked at me in confusion. “Maybe I'll have the makeup artist redo it,” the girl said but I huffed in response."No need of that," I snapped, pushing her out of the way as I stood up. “Try to put a smile on your face, my lady. It's your wedding day,” One of the girls commented, wearing a fake smile on her face. I spun around, directing a deadly glare at her.“Didn't I say a few minutes ago that I don't want to get married? “ I growled and they shifted back, muttering inaudible apologies. “Who cares if you like it or not!” A hoarse voice pierced the air, causing me to turn around.Right before m
