VALERIE

The knock on the door sounded soft and almost silent. I jolted up from the bed and brushed my hair back, before getting out of the bed.

I shuffled to the door and with a heavy heart, I pulled it open.

Jasmine raised her head and tugged on the hat on her head before sliding into the room.

"Are you ready?" She whispered like there was someone else who would hear us.

"Yes," I replied.

She sighed and pulled off the hat, slumping down on the stool at the foot of the bed.

"My heart isn't ready to lead you to the Isle of the Blessed," she muttered in a quivering voice.

I could tell that there were tears gathered in those eyes hidden in the darkness of the room.

Only aided by a little stream of moonlight, I shuffled to the box of clothes and pulled out the shirt and pants that I wore to the Pack.

I untied the rope of the gown I wore and slipped it down my body, shivering as cold air from outside brushed against my bare skin.

"I don't think I have seen anyone ready to sacrif

    VALERIE The fire spread so fast across the tunnel, causing panic to set into my body. I cried out in fear and cringed back to where Jasmine lay.I gripped her hand, panting heavily, my eyes still glued on the spreading fire that had lightened up the dark tunnel. "Alexander?" Jasmine's horror-stricken voice waved into my ear, forcing me to swerve my attention away from the fire. A knot formed in my throat as I stared at the face that glared down at us. "What are you two doing here?" He growled in anger, causing me to shiver in fear. I exchanged glances with Jasmine, both of us expecting the other to speak up. "I can't believe this," the lycan prince whispered, swerving his head. "The two of you are under arrest for breaking one of the most important rules of the Pack! He snapped and bent over, reaching for our wrist. I snapped my head in Jasmine's direction, alarm laced against my face. She had the same expression too, and her skin was as pale as that of a ghost.

    VALERIE I sprang up, glaring back at Alexander who stood outside the cell. "Are you here to take us away to be killed?" I snapped. He remained stiff, not saying a word as he watched us."You won't say anything?" I snapped, gnashing my teeth in anger. I expected Jasmine to stop me from yelling at him but she did nothing. "What are you going to the Isle of the Blessed for?" He asked after a long stretch of silence. My throat knotted and I blinked severally in surprise. Jasmine jerked up in surprise, hovering behind me. "The– the Isle of the Blessed?" Jasmine gasped, tugging on my sleeve. "Tell him about it quickly!" She whispered. I slowly slipped back into reality and parted my lips to speak. "I have to get the antidote kept in the dark tower of the Isle of the Blessed," I said. "Someone that I love is dying. I have to save him."His lips twitched up in disgust and he scoffed, narrowing his eyes."You are doing this because of a man?" He groused, disdain scrunched up on his

    VALERIE The shock she felt was so heavy that it made the walls of the cell shake when she fell to the ground. I was still for a moment, waiting for the next reaction before jumping to a conclusion. "What did you say?" Her quivering voice filled the dark cell, causing a smirk to tug at the corner of my lips. "You are a witch, Renee. I'm certain about it," I repeated, earning another horrified gasp from her. She slowly gripped the bars and leaned forward, her eyes as wide saucers. "Who are you?" She whispered in a ghostly voice. I smiled and leaned closer, my brows raised in pride. "Someone that you can never beat." I saw her throat bob when those words left my mouth. Silence fell on her and all she could do was stare at me like she had seen a ghost. I got tired of waiting and flickered my fingers over her face.She jumped and blinked severally, trying to put her distorted mind in order. She took slow steps forward, her face scrunched up in a deep frown. "What do you want?"

    VALERIE "But…" I paused and pouted in anger. He narrowed his eyes and began to trudge away. I huffed in disappointment and forced my feet to shuffle after him. "I need to save someone!" I snapped. His silence only made my heart heavier and almost brought tears to my eyes. I had to get away as fast as I could, even if it meant committing another crime upon the crimes that I had already committed. I clenched my fist, my heart constricting in anger. I looked down at the pants that I wore, and my throat knotted. This was the only way I could escape from him and save Jasmine as well. My hand moved to the belt strapped around my waist and pulled out the blade from its sheath. I took quick steps towards him and raised the blade in the air, ready to sink it into his neck. Jasmine's words snapped into my mind and my hand froze. It felt like a force was holding me back, preventing me from committing murder. "Get back to your senses, Valerie, get back to your senses!"

    VALERIE I stood at the spot, dazed and confused. "What did you say?" I muttered, my breath almost ceasing. He pulled the prison door open and grabbed my wrist, pulling me out of the cell. A breath escaped my parched lips as my body got dragged out of the suffocating cell room. He swung back into the cell and grabbed Jasmine, dragging her out as well. He turned and faced me, a deep frown laced against his face. "If you have anything to say to her then do it quickly!" He snapped. My heart leaped for joy and my jaws dropped, my eyes widening in surprise. I turned around and faced Jasmine, my hand wrapping around her arm. "I will miss this Jasmine," I whispered, tears gathering in my eyes. She sniffed, her face heating up and tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you for showing up in my life, Val," she whispered. I hugged her, sniffing in the lavender scent that hung on her. "Don't ever let anyone bring down your esteem. Lift your head high no matter what people think of you

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   A genuine smile

    VALERIE I couldn't overcome the temptation to take a nap anymore. I slammed my eyes shut and dropped my head into his chest, drifting into darkness. I was afraid of getting trapped by the fake Valerie or another creature, but I didn't dream about them. The only thing that I saw was the dark tower standing some distance away. My brows raised as several voices followed a mocking laughter, laughing exactly the way the first voice laughed.Whispers of my name filled the air, making me shiver. I looked down at my feet and gasped when I realized that I was standing in the dark waters. I noticed that I wasn't sinking and I wasn't feeling the water beneath my feet. Everything seemed so real, including my feelings. I looked around and realized that there was nothing in sight aside from the dark waters I stood on and the dark tower some distance away from me. There was not even a single flying insect or bird flying around. The place was as silent as a graveyard— even a graveyard made more

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Before it began

    VALERIE The man rowed the boat slowly and silently, his eyes fixed on the peak of the dark tower a distance away. I itched to say something to him to ease off the tension weighing on me. "How long will it take to row to the other side?" I asked, staring at his scarred face. He darted his one eye towards me, his lips stretched out in a thin line. He seemed to be triggered by the harmless words that I had said to him. "You… you don't have to worry about answering," I quickly added. He grunted and looked away, staring at the tower behind me. We were sitting across each other in the boat and this made it quite hard to notice anything behind me. I stared at the man's wrinkled face again, having a sickening feeling in the pit of my belly. His left eye looked like it was forcefully gouged out years ago. Perhaps, that was how he got the scar that ran down to his cheek. I wondered if it was done by the demons that always wake up when darkness takes over the sky. I didn't ask any que

    VALERIE The faces of ghosts surrounded me, their mouths wide open and eyes as white as snow even though they had no life in them. I raised my hand, struggling so hard to survive the water. Is this where it all ends? I remembered my promises to Jasmine, Lucian, and Alexander. Even the promise I made to Renee and myself. Will it all end here? In the dark waters? I pinned my lips against each other, daring not to open my mouth. One of my hands touched a skull in the water and a sickening feeling inhabited my body. My heart had stopped beating, and the dull light that sneaked into the water was slowly fading away, making the underneath as dark as the surface. Just as my eyes were about to slam shut forever, a hand delved into the water, and I was grabbed by the collar. I felt myself being dragged up and out of the water before the ghosts could find a way to enter my body and eat me up from inside. I parted my lips and breathed heavily, my life returning to me as I hit the surface.

    VALERIE My heart tightened and I gasped in surprise. "What?" I snapped. Bianca nodded and moved closer to me as if I was attempting to do something stupid to myself."Yes, she was killed by rogues while trying to protect master Damion. Even up to today, no one has dared talk about her death for Damion's sake," she muttered Rachel's laughing face flashed before my eyes and a sickening feeling filled the pit of my belly. I staggered back and lost my balance. Bianca caught my wrist before I could touch the ground and pulled me up to my feet, wrapping her hand around me."Calm down, just calm down," she whispered, patting my hair slowly.I broke into tears, sobbing loudly.I couldn't believe that she died that terrible way despite her kindness and good heart."She never deserved that kind of death, Bianca!" I blurted out, unable to subdue the pain within me anymore."I know, but what can one do? It's all in the hands of fate and destiny—""Fuck fate and destiny!" I screamed, pushing

    VALERIE My trembling hands slowly slipped away from the edges of the stone, fear bubbling in me. His cold hand was still wrapped around my wrist as he waited for me to get up and explain the act I was caught in. I couldn't dare imagine the disgusted look that would be on Lucian's face, worse, Killian's. I gulped hard and slowly turned, but the fear tightening in my chest eased up as my terrified eyes fell on the person clenching my wrist. "Damion!" I sighed in relief. His lips turned up in suspicion and his eyes darted to the fake flagstone on the ground before he released my wrist."What are you doing here?" He asked, nodding towards the spot he found me squatting down. "Uhm…" I trailed, fixing my eyes on the flagstones on the ground with the true intention of avoiding his prying eyes. "Are you scared of saying the truth to me?" He questioned. I remained silent, my eyes still fixed on the ground. I shivered slightly as he wrapped his hand around my chin, turning my head to

    VALERIE Bianca scoffed and narrowed her eyes, glaring haughtily at her. I sighed, aware of what she was talking about. Michelle smirked and didn't wait for my reply before striding fully into the room. I stood up, my heart clenched in fear. Even though I needed to know the cause of my father's death, I knew deep down that I wasn't ready to bear the heartbreak that would come with the truth. "I don't think I want to talk about it yet," I muttered, glancing at everything in the room aside from Bianca and Michelle's faces. "Why?" Michelle's voice bore shock and disappointment. "I have a lot to deal with at the moment. I'm not ready to hear it," I muttered. She huffed and stepped back. I finally looked at her, forcing a smile into my face. She huffed, fuming in anger as she glared at me. "Are you scared of the truth?" She asked, her lips turning up in a mocking smirk. I sighed and tilted my head to the side, staring confidently into her eyes. "Yes, I am scared of the truth."

    VALERIE My jaws were still dropped in shock as I stood rooted at the spot. "Valerie? Are you okay?" Bianca's words shot into my mind, causing me to raise my head. Her head tilted to the side as she watched me, confusion scribbled across her face. "Why were you acting that way when I mentioned the name of Luna Queen's sister?" She questioned, her eyes filled with suspicion. I released a false laugh and shook my head. "It's nothing. I… I thought I had heard the name somewhere." She narrowed her eyes in disbelief but said nothing concerning my attitude. "Well… mother said that she died some months before her wedding to an alpha prince," she said. My fist clenched and I bit my lips at the discovery. "Was she getting married to Lycan prince Alexander?" I bobbed my head and asked. She threw her head back and narrowed her eyes, letting the silence haunt my curiosityI hoped silently that I was wrong with my guess. "No, it was rumored that the Lycan king Alexander never had any lo

    VALERIE "I am disappointed in you, Valerie!" He groused with a glare before turning to help his mother up from the seat. I gulped hard and slowly stood up, dropping my head. "Forgive me—" "Don't say a word!" I shifted back at the harsh tone of Lucian's voice. "Hey, don't yell at her!" The Luna Queen snapped, hitting him on the chest. Lucian sighed in disappointment and threw me a glare before leading his mother to the bed. The maidservant turned and stared at me coldly then moved closer to where I stood. "You should have stopped her, my lady," she muttered. My heart clenched and I gripped the edge of the table, getting overwhelmed with guilt. "I'm sorry. I never meant to let her drink so much," I whispered, avoiding her accusing eyes. She huffed in annoyance and trudged off to attend to the Luna Queen. I sighed in disappointment, muttering curses under my breath. If Lucian hadn't intervened, she would have told me how she killed Renee. I needed to fix the dot

    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

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

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.
