Valerie After that night Coral saw Skylar, I haven’t heard anything about the men finding out, or getting their memories back. I should be happy, but all I could be was miserable. Selene wasn’t bringing any solutions to me, and every night I dreamed, the laT dream was worse than the one before. Elara hardly cried. That made me feel things weirdly. If they were with me, we could have sang her praises together, so that our little baby girl doesn’t cry. About how perfect she was and her rosy little cheek.A tear slid down my face as I bit into Ansel’s favorite cookie I baked because the smell reminded me of home, in their arms. I miss Ansel the most today.His beautiful sandy blonde hair, his soft lips… my mind trailed to my favorite memory of him, a year ago. We all went to Hawaii. And Kaden and Grey were fast asleep, leaving he and I awake, beside the ocean. He knew how much I was scared of the ocean, so he held me until I got over my fears of the ocean. And then he had sweet love w
Valerie “Can I come in?” She asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement it made me slightly irritated and uncomfortable. I didn’t even know her and she was already getting on my nerves.Her eyes trailed down to Elara and they rose in surprise. “Oh my goodness that’s a very beautiful little baby!” She squealed, her hands reaching towards Elara. “Can I touch her?” I pulled away quickly, eying the stranger that dared to touch my baby, unable to get a read on her, except the fact that I didn’t like her. Who dared to touch the baby of a woman she didn’t even know? “Uhm, no, you cannot come in, Patricia. I don’t even know you.”Patricia's smile faltered for a split second, but she quickly composed herself, that infuriating cheerfulness resurfacing. She tilted her head, her brown curls bouncing, and let out a light laugh. "Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to intrude," she said, her voice still far too bright. "I just got so excited when I saw the baby. She's adorable. I’m sorry that I spook
Valerie “Hey Patricia!” Coral came in, her face bright with happiness as she saw Patricia. “Coral!” Patricia squeled as they embraced each other, and their high pitched voices overlapped each other as they spoke over each other and I rolled my eyes in annoyance as Elara began crying, which she almost never did.I rocked her in my arms, whispering to her in an attempt to keep her quiet. “Shh, shh baby. Mummy is here. Mummy is here okay?”Her cries subsided as I rocked her and Coral softly laughed.“I’m so sorry about the noise, Elara baby.” She cooed to Elara, then shot me an apologetic look.“I know you’ve been stressed Valerie. And I’m sorry I didn’t properly invite her before letting her come over, but this is my friend Patricia. We have been friends for like- what, fifteen years?” Coral turned to Patricia with a big smile as Patricia nodded.“Yes it’s been fifteen years, we are practically family at this point. Little Coral learnt most of what she knows from me.” Patricia beamed
Valerie “So, what do we need to do?” It was already an hour after the wine and watching Corwl and Patricia chat my ear off, while I pretended to listen, one mind on the conversation but my heart away from the building, far away in the hands of three men who do not remember who I was. It’s been two weeks since I last saw them. I needed to see them again. From afar, or in a disguise. I just needed to know my men are okay.Patricia stopped laughing, and Coral cleared her theoat as she glanced at the finished bottle of wine. As I promised her, I wasn’t going to bring it up after we got rid of the wine and the cheese. I may have been waiting for the last drop of wine to be gone, but well, my family was the one who was torn apart. “I waited for the wine and cheese to be gone now didn’t I? I think it’s time to heat the solution Patricia the strong has for me, no?”The air was tense as Coral gave me an annoyed look, while Patricia let out a forced cheery laugh, her hand laying uncomfortab
Valerie Patricia have a wary glance, causing me to shake in fear. I knew it was too good to be true. It was a prophecy from the moon goddess to me, Oracle. One of the most powerful beings to exist. I should have known it wasn’t going to be easy to change. Especially not from one ritual with a witch I didn’t even know how strong she was, or even trusted. Patricia sighed. “The ritual is one that would work. It’s only been done by few beings. And it is the most draining ritual to ever exist. But it is possible to change your fate. You just need to sacrifice one thing that means a lot to you.”“Sacrifice what?” I asked, my voice trembling as I swallowed. I only had few things that mattered to me and that was my family. I couldn’t ever sacrifice them. Patricia closed her eyes and then hummed. “You have to make a choice. It has to be one thing. I would never tell you to sacrifice a life. So that leaves one thing that means the most to you at this moment in your life.”“What is it?” I co
Here is your edited text with grammatical errors corrected: --- The cold bit harshly at the skin of my face as I wrapped Elara closer to my chest while we approached the pack grounds. The feeling of being back in my kingdom made blood flow through my veins, and my wolf stirred within me, knowing we were closer to our mates. Elara let out a soft cry, and I knew it was due to the power flowing through her too. Being away from your kingdom as a royal werewolf diminishes your power and weakens you. It makes you more vulnerable to external attacks, leaving you as weak as a normal wolf. Pulling my coat tighter around us, I didn't do much with my disguise. They already didn’t recognize me, so I only hid my scent to avoid detection, knowing their memory could be triggered if they caught a strong whiff of it. The pack was just as I remembered. Home. The chatter of the pack members, the cars and technology we constantly received from humans, the guards at nearly every corner because of wha
Valerie“Ansel, leave us.” Were the first words Syklar uttered as her gaze pierced through mine, and i gave her a shaky smile, clutching Elara closer to my chest as if she could protect me from Skylar’s wrath the minute Ansel left. He glanced between Skylar and i before shooting Skylar an irritated gaze.“No thank you for helping your friend in? I get that you hate us right now, but thats a bit harsh.”Skylar folded her hands across her chest as she glared at Ansel. “The only magic word you will get if you dont leave now would be sorry.”Ansel scoffed, and glanced at me one last time, before turning, walking down the hall and away from me, causing my ache and emptiness to return as he walked farther and farther away.But that was rerplaced by fear as Skylar yanked my hand and dragged me into her room in anger.She shut the door loudly, and glared at me so hard i feared i may ignite under the heat of her glare. “Start talking.” She commanded and i sighed.“I missed you so much Skylar.”
Valerie Skylar pulled away, her nose red from her sniffling, and I was sure that I looked the exact same way. A giggle escaped my lips, and she rolled her eyes as I called her a crybaby, teasing her despite being one myself. She slapped my arm playfully, and at that moment, I felt like everything was the way it used to be, but it wasn’t, so I was back to reality. Skylar noticed the change in my demeanor, and she sat upright, clearing her throat. “You mentioned a solution earlier at the door. I thought the Moon Goddess wasn’t replying to you any longer? How did you get a solution?” I ran my hand through my hair. “I found a seer. Well, Coral found one. She helped me with the vision.” Skylar raised a brow. “Coral? Really? The same Coral who I don’t trust and absolutely hate found you a seer, and you’re just going to go with it?” Skylar hated Coral the minute I built a temple for the Moon Goddess and she was assigned to me. I always felt it was a rivalry thing, and till now, I haven't
AnselI swallowed hard. “What do you want?” I asked her, my voice filled with caution because I knew she could ask for the most precious thing to me. She didn’t answer, instead her smile became even bigger as she stared down at me. Kaden stirred and I quickly made to go to him, holding him against me as his body kept shaking, worse than before. His breathing that was uneven was now shallow too and it felt like he was using the little amount of strength him in to breathe. I could take it anymore, I was panicking and I needed to know what she wanted. I needed to save Kaden before it was too late. “Kaden… please, find it in you to stay strong,” I said as I pressed one of my hands against his sweaty skin. “Please, stay with me.”His eyes opened and I could see nothing but pain in his blood shot eyes, I had never seen my brother like this and now he was such in a vulnerable state that I fear for the worst. “It… hurts, answer,” he choked out, his voice barely audible and sounding nothin
Ansel I watched as Grey took off the only piece of clothing he had on just to save Kaden from dying. Ramona had wanted him to beg, to suffer, to see him crumble and he had done all of that just to save Kaden from dying. I watched in silence even though every fiber of my body wanted me to go forward and do something, but, it was impossible. Not only was I being held down by the guards, I also had no power against the two witches that toyed with out life like it got them off.“Take them away,” Coral ordered the guards, looking at us like we were nothing more than dirts. “Both Kaden and Ansel. To the dungeon.”“Don’t you dare touch him!” I yelled through gritted teeth, my voice a low growl. “I’ll hold him myself.”The guards looked at her for permission and she nodded, they released me and I got up as fast as I could I made my way to Kaden who was laying still on the ground, he had gone though so much pain in just a short time. I leaned forward, hauled him up and started to walk away,
ScottWhen Grey has asked me to go get Elara, I had taken the back door and quickly escaped, not waiting an extra minute or watching what was going to happen. I had hurriedly made my way back to the palace with a sleeping Elara. I was still in the castle when Kaden had mind linked with the guards and told them of the situation of things. I knew the guards would be powerless against both Ramona and Coral. I mean if they had defeated all four alphas- Skylar included- what could they possibly do?Not wanting to find out if my theory was true or not, I had stayed hidden in the castle with both Elara and Dennis. I had watched through clenched teeth as Coral had put everyone under mind control and did just had she wanted. I watched as she humiliated the three alphas, how she had turned Valerie into nothing more than a pet and I also watched as she treated my Skylar and I wanted to so badly go there and rip her head off. But, I knew that was a stupid move and that wasn’t what I needed to
Skylar “Take her away,” Coral commanded the guards, her voice clipped and worry etched on her face.She and tried to break me just to get answer and even though I was in pain, I was happy that she didn’t succeed. The guards moved closer to me, roughly grabbing onto my hands before they pulled me away from the field. I tried fighting against them even I knew it was pointless. I could hear Coral dismissing the crowd and saying something to Ramona but I couldn’t make out what it was. I also saw Grey standing silently beside Ramona and I wondered what that was about. The cold stone of the dungeon came in contact with my skin as I was finally dragged back there. My body was still aching from the way Coral had tormented me but, my soul was on fire and I was burning hotter than I was before. I was helpless and that alone was the reason why I was angry. I was mad at myself for not knowing how to save Valerie or even get rid of Coral and Ramona. If it were to be Valerie, she would have a
GreyI watched in silence as Coral and Skylar exchanged words. I badly wanted to go there and stop Coral from hurting Skylar, tell her that Skylar really knew nothing about Elara’s whereabouts.But, I couldn’t do that. I was now Ramona’s slave and it was whatever she asked me to do that I could do. After torturing Skylar for a bit more and seeing that she knew nothing, Carol stopped and sighed in anger. Skylar was still running her mouth when coral ordered for her to be taken away. She fought against the guards and tried to break free but their hold on her was to tight. Coral dismissed the pack and asked them to go back to their various houses, saying she’ll call on them whenever she needed them. And with that, the ceremony came to an end. I expected the worst for myself. When Coral walked away, I was dragged by the guards as we filled behind Ramona. I steeled my mind, bracing myself for whatever she was going to do to me. I had expected her to humiliate me, torture me and even ma
CoralBeing in control felt so good and I was enjoying every bit of my newly acquired power. The smell of blood wafted mixed with the smell of the fire and wood wafted though the air. Everyone present was silent after they had watched Grey surrender and proclaimed himself as Ramona’s slave. Not like they could say anything anyways, they were under my- our control Valerie was curled up like a dog by my feet and I smiled at myself, proudly. Not only had we taken Valerie’s powers, we had always stripped the Alphas of any remaining pride they had. My legs were crossed and I watched as Kaden struggled to regain himself while the vein on Ansel forehead popped as he struggled to break free from the guards that were holding him back. I was bored of it and I wanted them out of my sight as fast as possible. “Take them away,” I ordered, looking at the guards that were standing around them. “Both Kaden and Ansel. To the dungeon.”One of the guards made to move closer to Kaden but Ansel let o
Grey“Come,” Ramona said, beckoning for me to come closer to her. I was standing with my hands twisted behind my back. My body was aching, my muscles were tense from the beating and struggles I had suffered against my brothers when we had been ordered to fight. The crowd looked at us with empty eyes and the light that had been set on for to illuminate the field casted eerie shadows all around us. I had agreed to being Ramona’s slave all because of Valerie. They had found a way to always made sure we bent and danced to their tune using the one person we cared about. She was unmoving, a cut on skin from Ramona’s dagger as he stared into space. She was empty and soulless, and it was all because of me. I wanted to ruin everything, kill everyone and behead whoever came in my way but I knew I was powerless against them. Kaden and Ansel were forced to be on their knees beside me, their faces were battered and bloodied. Ansel’s was worse because he had offered himself as the one to die t
Ansel“STOP!” Coral’s voice rang out like a whip, sharp and commanding.Blood was dripping down from my lips to my cheek and all the way to my neck. The taste of my blood was overwhelming and I felt sick but I didn’t let it bother me because, I was confused as to what Coral was up to.I could tel that Kaden and Grey were just as confused as me because we all turned to there both her and Ramona were seated. They had a malicious smile plastered on their face and their eyes glinted with mischief, making me all the more worried. We were bloodied and battered form the fight, me worse than the others because I had chosen to sacrifice myself and had made sure they had hit me hard enough so that they would believe we were really going against each other. I waited with my heart in my stomach, wanting to know what they were going to say next. What they would tel us to do just to save Valerie. Ramona got up, tugging on the leash that was wrapped around Valerie’s neck and making her walk close
AnselThe taste of blood was thick on my tongue.The dirt beneath me was soaked in my sweat and the unbearable pain I was feeling.I staggered, my body screaming in agony as Kaden circled me, his chest heaving, his eyes glassy with unshed tears. The pain of each blow, each strike from Kaden and Grey, dulled into a distant throbbing.We weren’t really fighting. Because if they really were fighting me, I’d have been knocked out. My brothers weren’t fighting me as much as they should, I had even tried saying things they hated, bringing up buried memories and even cutting open healed wounds they still wouldn’t put their all into fighting me. Not the way Coral wanted us to.We were stalling.They fumbled, missing easy openings, our movements sluggish- deliberate. They dodged all of my hits barely gave me any, and even the ones they gave me was weak and had no passion to it. Grey even went as far as to drop his guard completely at one point, barely dodging a swing from Kaden’s blade.It
