GreyI didn’t understand the fear that coursed through my veins as th soldiers turned to their wolves to fight off the rogues at the border, but that wasn’t the reason I was as scared.“Where the fuck did you send her, Grey? What if she gets torn apart?” Ansel growled angrily as he switched to his wolf.He was pissed, and I didn’t understand why. We just met her and we were supposed to not like her, right?Then why was I scared to death about her being injured or dead? Why were we willing to endanger ourselves to save her?Why were we all, endangering ourselves?“I’m turning, Grey. You better hope she doesn’t get hurt. She has a baby, you should have thought about that.” Kaden growled as he tore apart his suit, changing mid air.I decided to change too, and we sprinted out of the border, just our minds leading us.The whole border was dark, darker than normal and i instantly felt the drop of the temperature as we left the pack. The rogues already left the pack edge, and I could hear t
ValerieSeeing Ansel, Kaden and Grey’s wolves here, in front of me, covered with blood and grime, i coukldnt describe the joy i felt. The happiness that my ates put themselves in danger to come save me.They had no idea what theyhad done. They had helped me in one challenge in my bid rto break the curse. They risked themselves to save me. Deep down, they were still the men that loved me.A tear slid from my eye. They were still worth saving.And now i had only two challenges before getting them back completely.Grey’s wolf changed back to his human form, and he grabbed a pair of clothes from the back of the tree, a tradition that the pack had incase anyonechanged unplanned. Clothes in parts of the woods.I smiled at him as he ran towards me, while his brothers changed too, but a sharp pain shotthrough my side and i remembered my injury. I winced as i started to fall.But Grey caught me just before i could. “Valerie. Whats wrong?” he asked as he checked my body for injuries before seei
Valerie Days after the rogue incident, I had a fast recovery. I couldn’t explaijn why I had such fast healing, although I knew that Kaden was suspicious because I wasn’t an alpha. On the other hand, he became nice. He helped me so much with Elara who has become so attached to him.Ansel didn’t leave my side, taking care of all my needs, we haven’t gotten close to talking about what happened the night before but I feel that the thought of losing me scared him to his senses.A win is a win, right?And Grey, he and I have been getting along more than before. Ramona hardly showed her face lately after the embarrassment but I had a feeling she was going to get back at me for what happened.This wasn’t my first mean girl. But I could handle it.If I could handle the possibility of losing my family, a mean girl was nothing.And by the time I was healed, I was ready to start working again, especially since the Alphas didn’t hate me anymore.“Kaden, come on, let me go with you for the meeting
ValerieI got out of the car, the cool evening breeze brushing against me as I closed the door. The beautiful gates of the new pack opened for us, revealing a big and beautiful compound that was filled with flowers that showed the strength of the pack. Kaden exited behind me, his imposing frame casting a long shadow under the golden lights. The formal meeting awaited, and while the tension between us had simmered down since Grey had saved me, I knew it was only the beginning.Trust. That was the next hurdle. But, I had no idea how I was going to break that. “Stay close,” Kaden said, his voice steady but carrying an edge of authority.I nodded, straightening my posture as I fell in step beside him. The Silver Moon Pack which I found out was the name of the pack was known for its stringent protocols and deep rooted traditions. They wouldn’t tolerate any breaches, especially not from someone like me- an outsider with secrets.The council chamber was already bustling when we entered, fil
Valerie “The Alpha’s ask that you meet with them,” the guard announced as he walked to me. “Where are they and why?” I asked him cautiously. “I don’t know why,” he replied. “But, they’re in the pack’s office waiting for you.”I gave him a curt nod, stood up and followed behind him. Walking to the pack's office, I felt the oppressive, heavy air. I arrived at the door, pushed it open without knocking, and entered. Kaden sat at the edge of the table, his face expressionless, his arms folded. Grey stood to his left, his hard-lined, sharp features, and Ansel stood next to him, his stern demeanor contributing to the gloomy atmosphere.And then there was Ramona, perched near the far wall like a vulture, her lips curling into a satisfied smirk the moment she saw me.“Valerie,” Kaden said, his voice steady but lacking the warmth I’d come to associate with him. “We need to discuss something.”I walked further into the room and shut the door gently behind me. “What about?” I asked, my gaze f
KadenAfter I watched Valerie walk out of the office, I didn’t wait any longer before I angrily stalked out. Now I was in my room pacing around. The pack was quiet and the atmosphere cold, the cool breeze did nothing to ease my anger. I stopped pacing she hit my hand against the desk, grabbing on to it tightly that I thought the wood would crack. My mind was a whirlwind of different feeling ranging from anger to confusion, but the one question that kept popping up over again was- why? Why had I fallen for her? What had I let Valerie get to me so much? Why had I let her into my heart and my life only for her to betray us at the end of it all? The woman I had come to love and trust, the woman that had always been there and tried to find solution, standing there with us during tough times- she was a liar, she had been deceiving us all. The memory of Ramona showing us the truth played over and over again in my head like a broke record. The way Valerie had looked, the way she had casted
Valerie The weather was cold and the breeze blew violently outside, making the trees bend over and hit the window continuously. Elara, who was seated on the couch and humming a melody I used to sing to her, was incredibly joyful and completely unaware of how much I was breaking down. Staring up at the ceiling, I leaned against the wall. I tried to pretend everything was all right and keep it up till I was positive it was, but who was I fooling? Nothing was fine. My mistakes had caught up to me in the cruelest way possible. Kaden’s words echoed in my mind, sharp and unforgiving- You deceived me. Deceived us. And Ansel’s silence- his refusal to even look at me- had hurt even more. But most of all, it was Grey’s reaction that affected me the most. He had always been the one that was there for me, I had finally regained his trust just recently but now I was back at the start. They had all once loved and trusted me. But now? Now they all thought I’d betrayed them. I let o
OneValerie I walked softly through the hallways of the mansion, where the leaders of the pack lived while holding a ridiculoualy small cake in my hands. How did I, the outsider of the pack, end up in this situation? Josh, my boyfriend was coming of age today. He was among the four greatest wolves in power, he being the beta to the triplet Alphas of the North-Star pack.Today was finally the day he would get to meet his wolf, and while mostmett their mates on this day, I was certain he wasn’t going to meet his. Why? Because we were a match made in heaven,and his wolf wouldn’t recognize me until my coming of age day, which could be any day from now.And if things don't work the way I hoped, josh promised to reject his mate for me. I loved him with all my heart, he was my key to happiness, and when he finally axccepts me as his mate, I would finally be seen as an equal to all who looked down on me, especially Fiona, my worst enemy and my sister in my foster family.And also to the

ValerieOutside the border, the path that wasnt protected by guards like the one i entered through when i returned, had this chilling cold that wrapped its claws around my bones. The cold gnawed at my skin, sharper than Grey’s words and Ramona’s smirks. My wolf whimpered, uneasy in this forsaken place. She knew, just as I did, that this was no ordinary punishment. It was a warning, a reminder of my place—a cruel test disguised as discipline.I stepped forward, the crunch of frost under my boots echoing louder than it should have. The shadows of the trees stretched long and menacing, their skeletal limbs swaying slightly as if reaching for me. Each step felt heavier, my breath visible in the icy air.Forcing my focus on the seconds passing, I counted each heartbeat in my head, willing myself to hold on. “Five minute,” I whispered to myself, though it felt like a lifetime. The air was suffocating, not because of the cold but the weight of everything I carried: the memories, the betraya
GreyAs i watched Valerie storm away, i fought the urge to call her back. She didn't deserve to be punished for just being few minutes late. Hating her was just petty at this point, and my wolf was beating me up for being so mean to her.So i decided to call her back, but as i stepped forward, Ramona stopped me in my steps.“Grey, i can finally do the spell to see if i can your memories back.” I turned to face her, shocked to the extent that Valerie was a distant topic resided at the back of my mind.“Really?” I asked feeling hopeful. Ramona has been around but was unable to do any spells because she needed to make a sacrifice. She being able to do the spell meant that she successfully was able to do the sacrifice, and today, i may be able to remember everything.I didnt know if i was meant to be happy or not. I couldnt remember what the memories were, and even if they were cleared to protect us in the first place, but i had this gaping hole that reminded me that i was incomplete wit
