AnselDivine. That was the word that always came to my mind anytime i laid eyes on Valerie, because thats literally the word that could describe her as she sat on the chair, completely naked, i could bet Grey wishes he still drew.We were all losing control, and while Kaden was the one who pleasured her yesterday, it was my turn today. And my wolf wanted desperately to take control but i want o savor the moment. My hand curled around her throat and I slowly teased down her throat and took one of her perky nipples in between my fingers, twisting it slightly as I teased low with the handle of my knife, the head teasing her wet and slippery entrance. She cried out, her eyes glazed with need as she looked at my brothers, who were under her mercy, even if she had no idea of it. She was enchanting, and as I teased her clitoris with the head of the knife, she cried with pleasure, grinding her hips into it. The blade dug into my palm, but I didn't care, the sight of her letting out soft
VALERIE'S POV★Those werewolves called triplet Alphas were evil.They parade me around like a shiny trophy when it suits them, but the second I ask for something in return, it's "Back to your room, Val." Fine, be that way.I'm not sure of their hatred towards me but hey, I'm going to do something with them. I can't be tortured sweetly and harshly all the time.Boredom gnawed at me like a hungry rat in the attic. They wouldn't let me work, wouldn't let me train, wouldn't let me do anything except eat, sleep, and sigh like a lovesick puppy. I mean, I get it, powerful werewolf triplets trying to kill me and all, but come on! A girl needs some action!I tried reading, pacing, and even attempted to teach myself fancy knots using the curtains (turns out, that drapes make terrible rope). Nothing. Sleep eventually stole over me, promising escape, only to land me square in the middle of my usual nightmare.So, I did the only thing I could – I slept. And you know what greeted me on the other si
VALERIE'S POV★I woke up with the early morning light filtering through the curtains, the weight of the disturbing nightmares prevented a restful night's sleep. I doubted anyone would be awake by this time.But i hope the Alphas, my mates would be.I slipped out of the bed and quietly made my way to the dining room.Surprised. They were all up.Shocking. They were eating breakfast already.As I entered the dining room, the scene before me revealed my mates: Ansel, Kaden, and Grey. All was looking fresh as usual, but something was off. They were engaged in a quiet conversation over breakfast.Very quiet.It was not like anyone would hold them for their words, so why would they murmur while talking? I wondered as I watched them with full suspicion.What could they be talking about?The clinking of utensils against plates as they ate and engaged in talks.Ansel was the first to notice my presence, "You're up?" He asked as his brothers turned towards me. They all went mute.I'm sure they
GREY'S POV★As my relentless punches rained down on the unconscious soldier, an ominous growl echoed through the garden.Suddenly, several werewolves from the pack materialized. Instinctively, they swiftly separated me from the fallen soldier. My fingers were bloody with both a mixture of my own and the beta's own. As I stopped punching the soldier, I could feel my hand healing.That idiot should have known not to mock my mate. I growled at his frail body."What happened, Grey? How could you beat this Soldier to almost his death?" Kaden's voice rose.I panted. I did not reply to Kaden.Kaden looked at the bloody werewolf on the floor and his eyes filled with pity at the soldier. Well, I didn't care and if anyone should disrespect me or my mate, I'd beat them to death again."Take him to the clinic. Right now!" Kaden ordered."Yes, Alpha!" Some voices answered. Gosh, I didn't even notice the servants were that many. Well, it was good that most of them were there: that would be a lesso
Valerie's POV★I could not shake the vivid images of Grey's fierce reaction to the disrespectful soldier from my mind. When Grey had left for wherever the Moon Goddess knew, I took a seat on a bench in the garden. It was so hard to be able to muster the energy to go anywhere.I could not help but feel pity for Grey because it was my fault that he had a fight with the soldier. If only I had minded my business and just stayed away from Grey and given him more time to think about training her but now I had to go snubbing around.I relaxed and looked up to the sky, staring at the birds chirping around in their own exciting world. I closed my eyes and was about to sleep off when a familiar voice interrupted my peaceful rest.'Gosh! Who's it this time?' I groaned inwardly as I sluggishly opened my eyes."Val, what are you still doing here?"It was Skylar: the Alphas' cousin. My mates' cousin and my new friend.I blinked my eyes open widely and saw the pretty crazy enthusiastic friend stand
GREY'S POV★I soon became overwhelmed by emotions and resorted to physical actions since Valerie would not listen to me. I grabbed her wrist, attempting to pull her away but she was fueled by determination to confront the truth.She resisted fiercely as she anchored herself, her fingers gripped onto the edge of the nearby table.Feeling the pull on her wrist, she fought against my force, "Let go, Grey! I deserve answers." She exclaimed, her voice a mix of frustration and desperation.I still held on to her wrist and tightened my grip, pulling much harder. "You're making everything complicated," I shouted, my frustration boiling over.What kind of stubborn and rude lady is she exactly? I was getting tired.Valerie still refused to yield. She seized nearby pillows on the bed and hit them on my face. I let go of her wrist as the pillow smacked against my face. She jumped on my bed, grabbed the pillows, and threw them at me. Using that opportunity to distance herself, she put more space
VALERIE'S POV★I wiped the tears as I walked down the corridor. How could Grey talk to me in such a condescending way? He literally insulted me. I wasn't going to stand there and let him embarrass me for filth so I spoke back. I wanted him to feel how he hurt me. I deserved to feel my pain. I inhaled deeply as I cut a corner in the corridor heading to the stairs. I thought he would have come after me to demand why I left his room because I slammed his bedroom door in his face. I thought of returning to his door, breaking it open, and hurling words at him, but I knew better.I bit those words and continued my little stroll down the stairs, not minding to look back as my wolf wanted. She was doing her very best to turn my head and make me return to his room and maybe find a way to get him to apologize to me and maybe find a way we could both reconcile our differences. I managed to subdue it out of anger. As I neared the staircase to go downstairs, then emerged the maids, three at a
VALERIE'S POV★Silence stretched, thick and awkward, between us. Kaden, usually so quick with a quip, seemed lost for words. Finally, Kaden finally broke it, his voice quiet, almost hesitant, he blurted out, "Why do you hate me so much, Val?" His voice was rough with something I couldn't quite place.His question hung in the air, heavy and unexpected. I laughed, a harsh, brittle sound, expecting it to sting like salt in a fresh wound, that surprised even me. But as I looked at Kaden, his face earnest, his eyes searching, the laughter died. It wasn't a game anymore.He was wearing his usual playful smirk this time, but something genuine, something vulnerable. He wasn't joking. He really wanted to know. The laugh died in my throat."Hate's a strong word, Kaden, that's just... easy. It's easier than the truth." I said, my voice husky.I continued, "But yeah, maybe a little. Why wouldn't I? You made my life hell in school, remember? Treat me like dirt under your paws." I took a shaky bre
CoralPower.It coursed through me the moment the blinding light flashed and every single thing that was attached to Valerie left her body including her soul. The power was intense and I felt it burning through my veins as it went through me. I felt intoxicated with the power, I felt more powerful and happy than I had ever felt in my life. I let out a small gasp as the intensity of Valerie’s powers settled inside me, making me stronger and making more than I ever could have been. The power was a lot but I still accepted it with ease. After all, I was meant for this.Valerie had no idea. None of them did.I finally knew what it was like to have so much power, I had been so tired of being her second in command and listening to all her orders. She was annoying to put up with and I had been playing the long game by pretending that I didn’t want her to give up her powers. She was stupid and she had fallen right into my trap. This… this was what it meant to be the Oracle.And Valerie?S
Kaden Ansel had wanted to leave with Skylar but Grey had stopped him, telling him going after Valarie wasn’t worth it. Even though I could that Ansel was conflicted and wanted to go with Skylar, he stood rooted to his spot and watched her leave the room with a sad look on his face. Skylar hd tried to convince us, telling us that there was more to the whole situation and even though I wanted to believe her words, I didn’t know what the truth was anymore. Long after Skylar had left, the three of had remained in the room silently, lost in our different thoughts and trying to find a way to wrap our head around what really was going on. I let out an exasperated sigh before I stopped pacing and went to seat on the edge of my desk, resting my head in my hand. I was still lost in thought when Skylar burst into the room once again, her eyes filled with fear and she slowly looked at each of us. Grey was looking out the window, trying to act unbothered but I could see how hard he was clen
Skylar I left Valerie’s place angry and desperate to find another way stop her. I had tried to stop her, tried to speak some sense into her but her mind was already made up. She was so stubborn and the only people I knew who could stop her were also not listening to me. I had never felt as helpless and desperate as this as I walked back into the palace. The three of them were still in Kaden’s office. The same place I had left them while they were still trying to decide if they should go after her or not. Not only where they stubborn, they were also stupid but I couldn’t blame them. They could only see half of the truth and that part wasn’t doing any good to help Valarie’s case. “Like I said, whatever you think of Valerie or you saw isn’t the truth,” I spoke up, my voice filled with urgency. “She never was! You don’t remember, but I do! She did it for you- all of you!”Kaden was sitting at his desk, his head in his hands. Grey was standing by the window, looking out silently whil
Valarie The light reflecting from the candle across the room, casting shadows on the walls. The cool air brushed past me once again and I shivered, feeling cold from inside as I turned to look at the stack of letters I had written and placed in a table by the corner of the room. For Kaden. For Grey. For Ansel. For Elara. For Sky.Each word was a goodbye. A silent plea for forgiveness. A final confession of love.I had cried while writing letter and I knew the wetness of my teardrops that had dried would be evident as they read the letters. My heart felt tight as I got up and walked to the table, picking up the letters and tracing the edge lightly with my fingers. Kaden’s letter was on top of others and a ghost of a smile made its way to my lips, knowing he would be furious when he found out what I had done. He’d feel hurt, betrayed and broken like I had taken his most prized possession away from him. Maybe I had. But I needed him to understand that this was the only way.Grey… g
ValarieThe winds blew outside and I sat down with my hand folded together while I waited for coral to arrive.I had already made my decision.It didn’t matter if Skylar had begged me to reconsider or the fact that she had tried to convince me they Kaden, Ansel and Grey weren’t mad. This was the only way to save them all and Elara too and I had no other option, I had to stop this endless spiraling of lies and hurt.After what felt like forever, Coral finally arrived. She looked at me with an unreadable expression but I didn’t think too much about it. All that was on my mind was getting to the witch and successfully performing the ritual. “You asked me to come,” she said in a calm but tense voice.“I did.” I stood, brushing my hands on my skirt to steady myself. “Thank you for coming in such short time.”She closed the door behind her, dusted her coat, pulled it off and walked closer to me. “I knew you would ask me to come soon, but I didn’t know it was going to be this soon.”Her wor
CORAL'S STORYCoralThe minute the call ended between Valerie and i, a wide smirk appeared on my lips. It was all going to end now. All the pretence was getting tiring. I was so fed up of trying to pretend like i wasn't the one rooting for Valerie to give up her powers, hell ii was tired of pretending like my plan coming into place didn't make me happy.Valerie had no idea that from the beginning, this had been my plan. As a naive and trusting person, she instantly took a liking to me, which was unusual because of where i was coming from. That made me pity her the more, but what do i care, i was going to become an oracle. Coral of five years ago could never believe that. They called me many names when they found out what i truly was.In my kingdom, there was a prophecy before i was born, that spoke of a great child that was going to be born into my family. Smart, brave and powerful, chosen by the moon goddess to lead for her. A celebration was thrown the night i was born as they beli
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
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 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
