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
Ramona “You look so stunning Lady Ramona,” the head maid cooed as she finished up the last touches on my dress. “Of course I do.”Even though they were under mind control and they said everything I wanted so as to please me, I still smiled as a warmth coursed through me. But, I didn't need anyone to tell me how beautiful and fabulous I looked. The remaining maids helped me put on my shoes and what felt like forever, I was finally ready to get married. I had never been more excited than I was at that moment. I twirled in front of the mirror feeling like a child. I snapped my fingers and gestured for them to leave. After which, they all bowed and left the room silently. When they left, I let out a deep breath trying to decide whether to wait for Grey at the altar or go to get him myself. After a few more minutes of contemplation, I decided to go get him myself. I couldn’t wait until the wedding started to see him- my husband to be- in his tailored attire. Taking a sigh to calm my
Ramona Tonight was the night.My night.Nothing would go wrong. I would make sure of that. I had spent years working toward this moment alongside Coral, bending fate itself to ensure that Grey would be mine. He belonged to me and no one else. Not his brothers, not Valerie, not even his own past. I had erased them all from his heart, from his soul.And now, I was finally getting what I deserved.Grey had proven his loyalty to me in the best way possible- he had chosen me over his own blood. He had suggested- no, ordered that Ansel and Kaden be executed tonight, sealing his bond to me in the most permanent way.I couldn’t contain the excitement bubbling inside me.The sheer joy.I turned to him, standing beside me in his usual fitted suit, looking every bit the king he was meant to be. My king.I reached up, brushing a hand over his cheek. “Everything is more than perfect, my love.”His blank eyes that burned with nothing but submission and love for me met with mine, and for a moment,
GreyI had forgotten who I truly was. No matter how much Kaden and Ansel tried to get me to come back, tried to make me remember who I truly was, I couldn’t remember. All that was in my head was love and loyalty to Ramona, I wanted to make her happy no matter the cost and if doing that was getting rid of everyone that stood in the way of our love then so be it. Ramona had ordered the guards to prepare my bloodied and wounded brothers for execution so we could get ready for our wedding. She had even told me to go get ready separately because that way, we would avoid any bad eyes and the wedding would go well. She had placed a soft kiss on my cheek before she sent me off. Now, I was standing in front of the mirror after getting into the tuxedo she had specifically picked out for me. I started adjusting the collar, admiring the perfect embroidery on the left side of the suit jacket as it shone under the light. This was the attire of a man that was about to be bound to Ramona for lif
Ramona“Come,” I purred, trailing my fingers down his arm. “Let’s go remind them why we’re the ones in power.”I walked out of the room, Grey behind me as we walked down the dimly lit hallway of the castle, my heels loudly clicking against the floor with each step that I took as we headed down to the grand hall. They still hadn’t been taken away from there, plus it was easier for me to go to the grand hall than down to the stinky and dirty dungeon where they once kept. Tonight was supposed to be perfect. Tonight, Grey and I were meant to stand before our people and solidify our rule and we were so close to doing that. The wedding was meant to mark the beginning of a new reign- ours.And yet, everything had slipped through my fingers in the quick blink of an eye.Skylar had disappeared.That wretched oracle girl we had been searching tirelessly for had interfered.And now, Coral was becoming more unpredictable by the second, getting mad at me and even arguing with me in front of ev
ValerieCoral had a deadly look in her eyes as she moved to me, after she had walked away from Ramona, she pulled me up and I followed her back to her room. I tried to see what she was thinking but it was hard and after a few more trials, I gave up.I silently looked at her as she ordered me to sit, I felt nothing as I watched her. She was shallow enough to believe that Ramona had it out for her after the little effort I had put into planting doubts into her mind. But, that was the thing about power hungry people- they would believe any lie told to them and try to take out everyone who they saw as a threat. I looked away from her and tried to form another connection, seeing that she was calmer. I didn’t want her to push the doubt aside but I knew her and I knew that she was planning something already, I only needed to make it happen earlier. I was forced to endure as Coral stripped me layer by layer- my power, my emotions, my very essence. Recently, Coral had been feeding on me.
SkylarWe were still in the cave- the air damp and smelling of the residual magic from the time the girl had been glowing and speaking of words straight from whatever she got her magic from. She still refused to tell me her name or how powerful she was, she was now sitting across me on the cold stone floor and her little fingers were flipping through the ancient, falling apart pages of the oracle’s book. I wanted to ask her how she was with it when I saw the book burn in front of me but I knew that wasn’t important and when we were done with all of this, I could ask about it. I watched her silently as I wrapped my arms around myself, I had safely kept the vial and gave it to me in my pocket as my head swirled, trying to wrap my mind around what was happening and what had happened. I had nearly died- had been seconds away from execution- only to be pulled into this place by a girl who, by all accounts, shouldn’t have had the power to do so.But she had.And now, here we were.“You’re
ScottFor a second, I almost let it happen but I suddenly got a grip of myself and pushed her away. She moved away from me and the expression on her face was enough to tell me that she was hurt by my rejection She masked it well, her expression was unreadable and her lips were set in a thin line. But from the way her eye was twitching to the way she balled her fingers into fists tightly, her nails digging into her palm, almost drawing blood. Normally, I would have tried to say something to ease the thick tension that clouded up in the air but I didn’t and neither did she say anything relating to it. “You and the children can stay here for the next few days,” she finally spoke up, her voice clipped and void of any emotion. “You need to rest and the children need food. You’ll be safe here.”Safe.The word felt foreign, like someone that was impossible. Because I had never for once felt safe since the take over, and since the moment I ran away with the kids. I nodded, taking in her
ScottMy head was still spinning. Skylar was alive. Relief washed over me in waves and it battled against the confusion that I felt, the one eating at the edges of mind. A part of me wanted to believe it without having questions, to accept that Skylar truly had sent someone to help me, to lessen the burden I had to carry. But, the other part that had been betrayed, captured, hurt and nearly killed refused to let its guard down and I stared at the woman suspiciously. “What’s your name?” I asked her, my voice cold and void of any emotions. “And why would Skyler even send you to me?”“My name is Tori,” she replied, her smile unwavering. “And like I said earlier, Skylar sent me to come help you.”I studied her carefully and when she moved closer to me, I recoiled. She asked me to calm down and then she gave me a potion. She said it would cure me. I didn’t want to believe her but she had convinced me and I had taken it. It had taken the burning pain I was feeling away but I still didn
ScottI ran and ran until my legs begged me to stop and rest, but I didn’t listen. I couldn’t listen. Only one thing was on my mind and that was getting to a safe place far from where anyone could reach us. Out of nowhere, it started raining and I grew weary. That was the last thing that I wanted, it poured down heavily, my clothes clinging to me and making my wounds. My vision was blurry as the rain lashed against my face, entering into my eyes. I ran through the woods, muddy floor and I had no idea where I was going. Normally, I would have been healed, my wounds closed up and my body stronger no matter how much I had been running. But, every time I tried to focus and heal myself, I would feel nothing but excruciating pain. Vervain. When they had captured me and taken me back to their camp, they had injected me with it. The stupid poison was coursing through my veins and eating away at my essence like fire would burn up a paper. It was even worse because it wasn’t just little
