VALERIE

I stood by the window, resting my weight on the crutch, staring at the running kids in the field.

A day had passed since I woke up and yet no sign of them or Michelle. This was enough, wasn't it?

I had made up my mind to leave whenever these invisible wounds healed up and whenever I had gotten my revenge on Michelle.

I swore to make her pay, and relenting was no option for me. I was going to be a monster, I had to get ready for the sacrifices, and that included locking up my feelings.

“How are you feeling?" The last voice I wished to hear echoed behind me.

I took a deep breath and turned around, staring blankly at Damion's face.

Sadness darted across his eyes when he glanced at the crutch I held onto.

“I heard…" he paused and bit his lips, that innocent action causing my heart to flip.

“Yeah, we fell, and she was the only one that ended up with a serious injury. Stupid, right? I chuckled, hoping that the pain in my voice didn't reach his ears.

He sighed and tucked his hands

    VALERIE The cheerful chatter in the kitchen made me stretch my lips into a smile. Two days have passed since that passionate kiss with Damion on the rooftop. It seemed that the kiss was the real reason for my quick healing. Michelle hadn't woken up or she wasn't satisfied with her pretense and the Lycan kings' endless care for her “How are you feeling now?" Monica asked as she ran her curious eyes over my body. “Better than before," I grinned and she giggled. I and Damion had decided when to kick off with our plans of running away. However, I still felt worried about the risky decision that we had made. But life is all about risk, isn't it? So, I was ready to take the risk for the one that I love. “You are making a mistake, Val," Jade's weak voice sneaked into my mind, and I scoffed, narrowing my eyes. “No, I'm not!" I snapped at her and she slid back into her shell. Ever since I decided to leave the Lycan Kings, Jade had refused to talk to me. Though I didn't care about be

    VALERIE “Are you sure you want to do this?” Bianca asked as we tiptoed across the corridor that led to the room where Michelle was.“I have to. This is the only way to clear my name," I muttered, unwavering from my decision to get the truth out of her and get her punished.“But—" I stopped sneaking towards the room and looked at Bianca's face which had worry etched against it."You don't have to do it. I will get this done by myself to avoid implicating others in my mess,” I said.Guilt washed across her pale face and she quickly shook her head in disagreement."No, I will come along with you,” she muttered and my lips stretched into a smile.“I am not upset with you. I just don't want you to get hurt,” I said, and rubbed her shoulders, smiling warmly at her."Are you sure that you want to do this?” She asked again and I nodded firmly.She sighed and rubbed my cheeks before stepping back."I wish you all the best,” she whispered, and I nodded before spinning around and heading toward

Michelle cried out, and flung my hand off her hair before rolling over, grasping her leg and belly as she faked bitter tears.Lucian's fist clenched in fury as he watched her pretend to be hurt by me.“Michelle!" He snapped and walked fully into the room, rushing towards her.He dropped to a knee beside her and turned her over, muttering words that I couldn't hear to her.My heart twisted in pain at the betrayal that was happening before me. I was astonished that he could care for a woman that way, yet he never seemed to care if I was dead or alive.He cupped her into his arms and dropped her carefully on the bed, sitting beside her and he took her hand into his.“Oh, Lucian, why does she hate me that much?” She muttered and faked a sob.I turned up my lips in anger and scoffed.Lucian craned his neck backward and glared at me.I narrowed my eyes at him and began to stride to the door, filled with anger.“Stop righ

    KILLIAN “Will she be fine?" I asked the Pack's doctor and she nodded her head, taking a step back.I stared blankly at Adriana's face which was slowly getting some life into it."If Lady Michelle was okay, Miss Adriana would have been awake by now," she muttered, and my fist clenched in indignation.“Well… she is still alive," I muttered and ran my hands through Adriana's hair before getting up from the couch I sat on.“Take care of her. I will be back," I instructed, and she bowed slightly as I walked out of the room.The thought of Valerie pushing Michelle off the hill still amazed me. It was hard to believe as Valerie would never do such a thing. If it was the other way around, then it would have been believable.I pushed the door open and walked in without announcement.Michelle, who was seated on the bed, flinched, almost throwing the cup she held to the ground.“You scared me!" She snapped and narrowed her eyes, drinking from the cup again.“You seem to recover your voice quick

    VALERIE I shrieked in fear when the gates fell open. Killian rushed in, sweat dripping down his broad chest. My brows shot up as I wondered what he wanted again. “Little fox, come with me!" He snapped and before I could protest, he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room. As he dragged me along the dark corridor, my heart, which had almost left my body, slowly returned. However, it didn't stop skipping beats as thoughts of what he wanted to do with me haunted my mind. I hoped he wasn't planning to use me to satisfy his sexual urge. I swore within myself to kill him if he dared try to pull me to his bed. “Where are you taking me?" I asked when we stepped out of the corridor and climbed the old creaking stairs out of the underground. He didn't reply, instead, he pulled me roughly and briskly through the passageways, ignoring all greetings thrown at him. He dragged me to the garage and shoved me into a car then slid in beside me and ignited it before driving out of the m

    VALERIE I gasped in disbelief and staggered back, my eyes as wide as saucers. “You… you believe me?" I said in almost a whisper and he smiled, nodding his head. Tears gathered in my eyes as I stared at him. Who would have believed that he would help me to prove my innocence? I dropped my head on his chest, crying silently. " Hey,” he cooed, digging his hand into my hair as he rubbed my scalp. “You don't have to worry, hmm," he muttered and traced the back of my neck with his finger. “Let's leave this place," he muttered and I pulled away from him. But as I turned around to leave, my heart sank when I saw Damion, standing some distance away from us. Sadness and anger rocked his orbs as he watched us. “Damion," I whispered, filled with guilt. He gulped hard, cast a glance at Killian then turned around and walked off. My belly knotted, and I felt my head spin in circles as his figure disappeared slowly into the dark forest. “Damion!" I shouted and began to run after him but

    VALERIE I slammed my eyes shut, my body shook as I muffled gibberish under my breath.“Please… don't…don't hurt me," those were the only words that I made out from all the gibberish that I had been muttering.A cold hand gripped my arm and I yelled in fear, still unable to open my eyes. My body was so paralyzed that I couldn't shrug off his hand.This was all Killian's fault. If he hadn't brought me here to abandon me, I wouldn't have been trapped in a monster's trap.“Please…let me go,” I whispered in a quivering voice and heard a low, dark chuckle.“Really?" The voice sounded familiar, yet dark and sinister.“Little fox?" That nickname forced me to open my eyes and look up.Relief washed across my body when I saw Killian's face instead of that of a monster.I sighed loudly and slowly got up, burying my head in embarrassment.“What was that?" He asked, and I raised my brows in question, even though I knew what he was talking about.“Huh?" I muttered, narrowing my eyes.He smirked an

The man grinned, revealing a set of disgusting teeth. “Killian Nox, your days have come to an end," his hoarse voice filled the air, making my heart sink. Killian scoffed and ran his eyes over his body before pushing me behind him. “So… that is a threat?" Killian chuckled and stepped forward, making sure that I was right behind him. The man waved the silver blade, slicing it through the air before releasing a loud growl. "Don't move from there," Killian instructed and shook me off, marching towards the ugly rogue. I watched with my heart in my hand as the rogue swung his large blade, running towards Killian. Despite the hatred I had for him, I still couldn't help but wish that he would survive. The rogue, towering over the underbrush, charged through the forest with reckless abandon, his eyes suddenly becoming fi

    KILLIAN Lucian pushed the door open and walked in when we got no response after countless knocks. I trailed after him into the room and slammed the door shut behind me. My eyes fell on a body under a duvet and I needed no one to tell me that she was the one curled up in there. "Little Val?" Lucian called out to her but got no response. I sighed in frustration and made to move closer but Lucian held me back.My eyes dimmed in shock at his strange behavior towards me."Lucian?" I muttered, slowly getting enraged.He turned and faced me, dropping his hand which held me back."You've caused enough trouble for everyone. I'll advise you to stay away from her if you want her to be happy," he muttered, and my heart clenched in fury."You think I'm the cause of her unhappiness?" I scoffed in disbelief, glaring at him.He took a step closer, his brows furrowing together."If you hadn't started this mess in the first place, little Val would have been alright and happy," he spat.I balled my

    MICHELLE A smile spread out across my face as I watched her struggle to stay alive inside Valerie's body. "Give it up, Asmodeus, Valerie Garrett has returned," I snarled. Her head jerked up, and she growled in fury, then leaped towards me, knocking out my hand, which gripped her shoulder. Her hand reached for my neck and she pushed me roughly, hitting my back on the wall. My heart skipped but I maintained my stance and sank my nails into her flesh, sinking my teeth into my bottom lip. A dark cloud darted across her eyes and her grip around my neck tightened. "What did you say about my father, bitch?!" She growled in rage. I stiffened in shock and my eyes darkened as the realization hit me Valerie was back. She had subdued Asmodeus, and she wasn't just back to dominate her body and save the Lycan kings; she was back to seek revenge, to destroy. "If you didn't hear what I said then you wouldn't unlock yourself and come out," I wheezed, struggling to breathe as she choked me.

    VALERIE (Asmodeus)The hall was silent as all eyes were fixed on Michelle, demanding an explanation for her behavior. My fist clenched under the table as I glared warningly at her. Sweat broke out on my back as I thought of ways to stop her without creating more suspicions around me. "I think we're being attacked," Michelle blurted out. My nails sank into my palm and my throat knotted, my burning gaze fixed on Michelle's face. She turned and stared at me, her lips twitched into a smirk. She turned and faced the Luna again, that sinister smile lurking around her sharp dark eyes. "There is something that I must confess, Luna," she mumbled I figured out that she might have nothing to lose in this as Damion was behind her and would support her against me. I had to do something before it was too late. "Luna…" she paused and looked at me before facing the Luna, fake tears gathering in her eyes. "There is a—" I screamed in agony and gripped my stomach, dropping out of my chair. E

    VALERIE (Asmodeus)Damion glanced at me again and looked away, fidgeting slightly in his seat. I smiled ruefully and swerved my head in Michelle's direction. Her eyes locked with mine and she quickly looked away, shivering slightly. My lips twitched in excitement at how I had trapped them in my nest. The only way they could escape was to obey my words and demands. I looked at the woman again, knowing exactly how to use them as my pawns to accomplish what I had in mind. "The Lycan kings aren't here yet?" The Luna Queen asked for the fourth time since everyone arrived and took their seats. "No, my lady," her maidservant replied and she sighed in disappointment, shaking her head. "Luna, are you sure they'll come? I heard that they hardly attend gatherings," the woman muttered. The Luna pouted in anger and sighed again, unable to defend her sons. "I wonder who told you that," a hard voice echoed in the hall and everyone swerved their head in the direction of the voice.

    VALERIE (Asmodeus)I hummed as I analyzed the bracelets before me. I smelled of citrus and the suffocating scent of Valerie Garrett. "You should try this on," Bianca said, extending a bracelet towards me. I raised my head in her direction and stared down at the pearl bracelet dangling in her outstretched hand. I forced a smile into my face and took the bracelet then slipped it around my wrist. I stared at the pearl bracelet strapped around my wrist and chuckled in excitement.It was hard to believe that Valerie lived happily in the Nox household while I was locked away underneath the freezing dark waters of the Isle of the Blessed.A cold touch on my shoulder caused me to flinch in fear. I sighed in relief when I saw Bianca's face staring down at me with worry etched against her face. "You seemed to be lost in deep thoughts," Bianca blurted out. I forced a smile into my face and shook my head. "No, no, it's nothing serious," I muttered, adding a low, nervous laughter at the e

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   What happened to Damion?

    VALERIE We swerved our heads in the direction of the scream, and my eyes dimmed when they fell on Michelle. I narrowed my eyes, the worry that sprang up in my heart slowly settling down."Shit!" Garam spat in rage and let go of my neck. Michelle marched towards us, her eyes blazing in anger and her clenched fist swinging beside her. "You bastard!" She growled and grabbed his collar, throwing him off me. His back slammed against the wall and it cracked while he groaned out in pain. "What the fuck did you do to Damion?" She groused and slapped him hard on the face. My brows raised in surprise as I watched her land hit after hit on him. She raised her fist to slam his fist for the umpteenth time but he grabbed her fist, shoving her back. He staggered up and wiped the blood that dripped from the cut on his lower lip. "You are no different from me, bitch!" Garam spat at her. She was taken aback by his outburst, and for a moment, they stood still, fuming in anger and glaring at e

    VALERIE I watched her pour the tea in silence, a smile plastered against my face. She straightened up after pouring the tea and sighed loudly, a smile on her face. "Here," she chipped and pushed the teacup closer, grinning widely. I chuckled, grazing my finger over the tip of the cup. "Anything else?" I asked. "Of course not, I just want to make sure that you are alright," she said. I raised my head and forced a smile into my face to please her. "Well… as you can see, I am fine," I replied in a sharp tone that made her brows raise. "Why do you talk that way with me, Valerie?" She asked. The happiness in her voice slowly faded away. I tilted my head to the side and folded my hand over my chest. "You're just a maidservant? How else do you want me to talk to you, huh?" I taunted, adding a mocking laughter at the end. His brows knotted, and I saw shock dart across her flushed face. "I can't believe this," she muttered, scoffing loudly. I felt happiness swell up in me as I st

    KILLIAN My breath hitched the moment the cold metal got pressed down on my neck. A pair of pitch-black eyes glared down at me, and a pair of gloved hands gripped tight unto the blade. "You sent you?" I asked between clenched teeth. The face was masked, making it impossible to view the expression on his face. "My lord says your time is up. You shouldn't have dared mess with him," he muttered in a throaty voice that shook at the end. My eyes dimmed and I began to wonder which of the Alphas would dare try to assassinate me. I slowly reached for the gun I had on me and pulled it out. "Well… tell your boss you tried your best to accomplish the task," I mumbled, and before he could slit my throat with the blade, I pulled the trigger into his abdomen. He froze and his eyes widened in horror. Drops of warm liquid fell on my thighs, causing me to groan in disgust. I pushed the rogue off me and snatched the blade out of his slackened grip before reaching for the mask over his face. I

    KILLIAN I gripped her shoulders and forced her to look into my eyes. "What did you just say?" I asked in an alarmed tone. Her lips stretched into a wide smile, an unknown glee floating in her eyes. "Should I say it out loud? Should I say what I saw in there?" She muttered, her head tilting to the side. My heart clenched and confusion and disbelief settled down within me. Was she truly possessed? "Should I?" She whispered in a chilling voice that sounded more like someone else's voice. "See—" I raised my hand, cutting Michelle off, my eyes still fixed on Valerie's grinning face. "Leave us, every one of you," I muttered, daring not to take my eyes off her. I waited till everyone had shuffled out of the room before gripping her shoulders again and glaring into her eyes. "Tell me the truth, what did you see in the secret room," I asked. She threw her head and laughed loudly, sinking her nails into my arm. I didn't care about her nails that sank into my skin, all I cared about
