VALERIE
My racing heart only stilled with Alpha Jonas dropped to the ground, unhurt. “Follow me!” He snapped in a hoarse voice, briskly walking into a dark tunnel. Why does he want me to come with him? Why doesn't he let me go and save himself instead? Does he… does he value me? I shook my head at the absurd thought. Not after what he did to me in his room. “Walk faster!” His snap jolted me out of my thoughts. I increased my pace, running at some point to catch up with his fast strides. The body was lying on the floor, and the shadows stuck to my mind, haunting me. The man's face has a striking resemblance to someone that I've come across, but I can't seem to place where I have seen it or who it was. But one thing is certain, he's dead. We kept walking through the dark tunnel till we stopped in front of a door. I stared in astonishment as he dug out a bunch of keys and slipped an old rusting key into the almost invincible keyhole on the door. The door clicked open and he entered, gesturing for me to do the same. I obeyed without hesitation and slipped in. The door slammed shut and it began to move up like an elevator. What is going on? Is the pack under attack? Different questions ran through my head but I didn't dare to voice it out. “You!” His snap made me raise my head in his direction. “We aren't done, are we?” He asked and my belly knotted. “Done with what?” I stuttered and began to move away from him slowly. A smirk danced in his eyes as he took slow strides towards me. The farther I got away from him, the closer he moved to me. My back hit the wall and my heart skipped. So, this was why he saved me. To break my hymen and make me his sex slave. He finally covered the spaces between us, his hot breath hit my face, sending shivers running through my numb body. The tip of his fingers grazed my face, running down my chin. “You pretty angel, you really think I'll let you go?” He chuckled. I slammed my eyes shut, desperately seeking a way out. My survival instinct kicked in, and I snapped my eyes open, glaring into his brown eyes. I raised my knee and slammed it into his balls. He groaned and staggered back, his hands clasped against his groin. “You little witch!” He sneered, twisting his face in pain. I spun around and headed for the door. I gripped the knob and twisted it, but the door wouldn't budge, and the elevator-like room wouldn't stop moving. In my struggle, I forgot about Alpha Jonas. My eyes bulged out when his large hands wrapped around my little neck, pulling me away from the door. He pushed me roughly and my back hit the wall. My back burned in pain and I cried out. He slapped me across the face and kicked me in the belly, tripling the pain throbbing in me. He crouched down before me and ripped off the dress that helped to cover up some parts of my body. I gasped out and looked at the shredded clothes on the ground. “How dare you disobey your Alpha!” He groused, pinning me to the wall. “You are not my Alpha!” I snapped back at him and his eyes widened in shock. Of course, he isn't my Alpha. My Alpha is Alpha Bartholomew Sanders, the weakest Alpha in the wolf kingdom. His lips turned up in amusement and he cackled loudly in a mockery. “Bartholomew?” He muttered and shook his head, grinning widely at me. “Your gambling Alpha can't save you from me. No one can,” he muttered sinisterly and ran his eyes around my nude body, his eyes full of lust. His buckle rattled and I whimpered, my heart constricting. He began to pull his pants down while pressing my nipples with his thumb. The elevator suddenly stopped moving and a loud bang sounded outside. Alpha Jonas stopped and listened for another sound but when he heard nothing, he continued pulling off his pants. As his cock sprang out of his briefs, the door burst open and I froze. Alpha Jonas raised his head, staring at the men standing at the door. “You?” My brows raised in curiosity when I heard him gasp. I raised my head and stared at the green eyes which was fixed on my face. “Hello Jonas, it's been a long time,” the man with the startling green eyes said Alpha Jonas trembled and quickly pulled up his pants before getting up. My face heated up in embarrassment and I curled up my body, covering my breast with my hands. The man's eyes darted down to me but I saw nothing in it aside from coldness. “Let's talk about this, we can sort it out evenly, huh?” Alpha Jonas's quivering voice made my eyes dim in surprise. Why is he shaking before that man? Who is he? The ‘he’ changed to ‘them’ when another man joined us in the room. He has a striking resemblance to the green-eyed stranger. Aside from that, he looked younger with dark blue eyes that sparkled attractively. “Not when you're running away,” the deep, cold voice of the green-eyed man made me drift my eyes away from the other man. “No, I wasn't,” Alpha Jonas defended in a calm voice. “What did you do with the emissaries we sent?” The blue-eyed man asked, and I saw Alpha Jonas's jaw drop. This is the perfect time to run away. From the look of things, the men looked more dangerous than Alpha Jonas. “Help me,” I whimpered, and Alpha Jonas snapped his head in my direction, threatening me to keep quiet with his eyes. But I didn't care about his threats anymore. Why should I fear a man who is afraid of other men? The grey-eyed man smirked and left Alpha Jonas, trudging closer to me. My heart skipped as I watched his steps get closer to my body. He squatted before me and touched my hair tenderly, making me shudder. “Help you?” He chuckled sinisterly then a dark wave swept across his attractive face. “Do you want our help?” My throat tightened at his question. What does he mean? Won't he help? Am I getting out of trouble or getting deeper into it? A loud thud at the corner of the room made me raise my head in the direction of Alpha Jonas. My eyes widened when I saw him lying on the floor with blood flowing from his head. Who are these men? What do they want? My head snapped back in shock and I looked at the men. “Who… who are you?” I asked, glancing from one to the other. I felt like I was burning in the deep depths of their eyes. “You are the Luna, are you not?” The one with the green eyes asked. “Huh?” That was all I could stutter out as my mind was filled with confusion. Somehow, the way he roamed his eyes around my body made me shiver slightly. I shifted back in discomfort and moved away from him. “Who are you?” I asked again and the one with the blue eyes chuckled. “Who are we?” The grey-eyed man scoffed and looked across my shoulder to the other man. “Who are we, Killian?” He laughed, his eyes on the other man. My heart started beating loudly as the footsteps of the man behind me got closer. “Do you want to know, honey?” He asked and clasped his hand around me. I shuddered when his hands touched my skin. It felt colder than that of the grey-eyed devil. With a smug smile tugging at the corner of his lips, he moved closer, hitting his cold breath on my face. “Have you heard of the Lycan Kings?”VALERIE “Have you heard of the Lycan kings?” His voice came out hoarse yet pleasing to my ears. “Huh?” I stuttered and the beat of my heart accelerated. He glanced over at the other man and twitched his lips, leaning closer till our lips were just a hair's breadth away. My body began heating up slowly and my pulse raced. I wanted to move back but the other man was right behind me, compelling me to remain stuck at that spot. I was trapped between these two devilishly handsome and dangerous-looking men. “Who are you two?” My voice quivered as I spoke with a heart gripped with fear. “We just told you, sweetheart,” the one behind me said in a soft singsong voice which strangely sounded appealing to my hearing. “You are his Luna, aren't you, honey?” He muttered in a sultry tone that made my belly knot. Luna? Whose Luna? Alpha Jonas's Luna? No, they're wrong, I'm not his Luna. I shook my head and parted my lips to spill out the truth but a loud thud behind me made m
VALERIE My lips parted yet no words came forth. I was short of words, I was confused. I wanted to speak up for my defense, but I couldn't; it felt like Alpha Jonas's words had paralyzed me. “So, you are his Luna, after all,” Killian said, a mischievous smirk dancing at the corner of his little plump lips. Lucian remained unmoved as he glared coldly at me. “Why did you say you weren't?” He muttered in the iciest voice that I've ever heard. The hoarseness was somehow gone, its absence added fear instead of relief to my soul. “I… I,…” I stammered and glared at Alpha Jonas, hoping he would have a change of heart and tell them who his real Luna was. But the useless devil did nothing of such, instead he pursed his lips in anger and shook his finger accusingly at me. “You lied to them? You told them you weren't the Luna. How shameless can you be, Valerie?” He snapped, calling me by my name.My eyes batted in shock, I was petrified in wonder that I was dumbstruck.The two men stared
VALERIE I stumbled for the fourth time as I ran far off into the woods. I couldn't tell where I was or how I would get out; only one thing stuck to my mind: this was the perfect escape plan, and I had to stick to it no matter what. As I ran, my mind drifted back to those Lycan kings and I felt my heart skip a beat. They must have noticed my absence by now. The thought of them coming after me made me quicken my pace. The cold air grazed my parched skin, stinging me without mercy as my body shuddered from the cold. I sneezed and clenched my belly as it rumbled yet I couldn't stop to catch a breath. My heart froze when I heard a twig snap behind me. I stopped running and listened cautiously for any rattle of leaves but heard nothing. I wanted to continue running, but my wolf, Jade, urged me to stop and listen longer. My heart thumped loudly and my hands shook as I stood in the dark forest. What if it's a wolf hunter? Or worse, the Lycan kings? ‘Jade, I can't wait anymore, I ha
VALERIE “I am not the Luna."A lump formed in my throat as I tried to sink in her words.“You… you are not the Luna?" I found myself sputtering.She smiled and took a step closer. My heart sank when she fell on her knees and bowed her head to the ground.“Forgive me, Luna; I know you've always hated me because the Alpha claimed me too, but it wasn't my fault. I begged him to have mercy, but he wouldn't listen,” she blabbered, and my eyes widened in shock.I turned around, searching for the person she was talking to.But when I saw no one behind me or close by, it dawned on me that she was referring to me.“What… what are you saying? I am not the Luna!" I snapped.I glanced over at Killian and Lucian. I found their amused eyes staring at me.“I…" I trailed off and glared at her.I understood that she wanted to escape Killian and Lucian's wrath. She wanted to put me in her place and make me suffer in her stead.It finally dawned on me that she didn't love her mate, perhaps, that explai
VALERIE I felt a chilly sensation on my arm when I tilted my head. I tried to snap my eyes open but couldn't; I felt like something was holding me down. Two different scents slipped into my nostrils and I gasped out, enjoying the scents of dark musk and rich sandalwood that intermingled and played with my senses. The chilly sensation came again, but this time, it was on my waist. I felt something slide up my thighs, heading in between them. My heart skipped a beat and I forced my eyes open. The first thing that hit me was the grey and blue eyes that flickered blackness the moment they met mine. My mind reeled, my pulse raced and my mind shot back to the previous tragic events that took place before I fainted. I wasn't dead, I was still alive and trapped with the devils that threatened to ruin my life. “You?" I gasped and shifted uncomfortably. I tried getting away but found that impossible as they were both hovering over me, caging me down to the soft mattress. “Stop, let
VALERIE The door creaked open, and I raised my head, expecting to see Lucian and Killian, but to my disappointment or perhaps to my relief, it turned out to be a girl who seemed to be my age mate. My eyes trailed after her as she walked over to a table and set down the tray she was holding. She turned in my direction, walked up to the bed, dropped some clothes on the edge, and turned around to walk away without saying a word. My heart constricted at her cold attitude. “Hello," I whispered and her feet stopped shuffling to the door. She cranked her neck and stared at me with blank brown eyes which seemed to have a layer of pain and sadness behind them. "Hello," she replied and bowed her head then quickly averted her gaze. I needed to get out here, but firstly, I had to know where I was. “Where is this place?" I asked, still clenching the duvet. She switched her gaze towards me and I saw a flash of disgust dart across her eyes as she looked at the duvet covering my nude body.
VALERIE “Hello, who is this?" Her voice sounded more like a ghostly whisper. My heart tightened and I regretted calling her at that moment. I would only be a burden to her again. But then again, I couldn't stop myself from yearning for her lost warmth. “Mom," I muttered in a weepy voice. The silence that loomed from the other end of the line made me think that she had hung up on me. I was about to put the phone down in despair when her voice came up again; this time, it was filled with surprise and fear. “Valerie, is that you?" She said in a hushed tone that got me wondering if my stepfather was at home. Mom, it's me," I replied and heard her release a breath of relief. “I heard about what happened to the Pack, you aren't hurt, are you?" She said in the same tone. “No, mom, I'm fine." Silence trailed after my reply and after a couple of minutes, she spoke up again. "Are you still in that Pack? I heard that lots of people were killed and… and Thomas isn't doi
VALERIE I peeked into the dark tunnel Bianca led me to and sighed out loud in relief. “Go through the tunnel; you will find your way out to the Pack’s boundary, but be mindful of rogues; lots of them lurk around the boundary of Dark Moon Pack,” she advised, waving her hands towards the entrance of the frightening tunnel. I sucked in a deep breath and muttered a word of appreciation before taking the flashlight she extended toward me. “You won't get into trouble, right?" I asked for the third time and she smiled, shaking her head. “No, I won't." I nodded at her words and began to shuffle into the tunnel. “Valerie," her voice made me pause and crank my head backward. “Be careful. Survive." My throat knotted at her last words. I nodded when I couldn't find my voice and bade her goodbye before walking into the tunnel, with my heart in my hand. I jumped in fear when I saw a skeleton leaning on the old dark walls of the tunnel. I shuddered and cautiously walked past i
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
