VALERIA“Don’t do it Valeria.” Both KAden and Ansel said to me at the same time, I thought of obliging them but I saw Grey shaking, he couldn’t stop because of the amount of pain he was feeling. He kept wailing and groaning in pain. Egnar smirks. “No!” i said to them, “I won't let you guys suffer anymore.'' I said to them.“We can handle it, but your clothes stay on.” Ansel said through gritted teeth, his expression a mix of determination and concern. Egnar moved angrily toward Ansel and stabbed him with a silver knife. A silver knife is the most dangerous weapon against werewolves. He twisted the knife in his leg.“Bastard.” Ansel caused in between breaths.“Bastard? I believe you are referring to yourselves.” Egnar smirks. His face turned to me. I shook in fear. I was scared of his next move. “I'm not seeing you strip Valeria.” he said walking towards me. “Don’t you remember your promise to me.” he stopped walking, standing near me, I could feel his breath on my face. His finger
ANSELI closed my eyes shut as I took in the pain in my leg. The knife was still in it. “Fuck!” I tried removing the knife, the pain that came with it was exhilarating.My mind flashed back to Valeria's naked body and the look on Egnar’s face. The way he stared lustfully at her. My whole body is filled with rage.“That traitor!” I screamed trying to break away from the chains I was tied up with but yet again. They were soaked in wolfbane. “He is not going to get away with any of this.” I muttered.I looked at my brothers, Kaden was trying to wake up Grey, who was still unconscious. I could see the stab marks on his chest and how his eyes rolled every time he felt the pain.“We haven’t felt this helpless in a long time,” I said to Kaden. “No, we haven’t,” he said, turning his back to me. Remembering just enough for this torture not to be enough. My memories were still fresh in my head.“Let my children go, Egnar. They have nothing to do with this,” I remembered my mother’s voice. I tri
VALERIAI woke up to the sounds of trees making waves with each other. I opened my eyes, I could feel that I was clothed. My mind flashed back of at me removing my clothes in front Egnar in his throne room.I realized I was wearing a white garment and laying on a slab with my hands tied, preventing me from moving. The room was dark but I could see three strange looking fellows all in clock. I tried to get up but the slab didn’t let me, but the sounds of their chants terrified me. I felt like I was been offered as a sacrifice, I could only see their clocks not their faces or their body.Egnar walked into the room with a smirk on his face. “What’s the meaning of this Lord Egnar?” He looks at me but didn’t respond. “Let me go. At once!” I said struggling with the ropes on me. I was getting weak and my breath were getting slow. Egnar looks at me but ignores me, “can we begin?” He asked one of the clock person. This was beginning to look more like a ritual than a sacrifice.“Yes we can.
VALERIAI opened my eyes, this time it was easy, no blur or dizziness. I opened it easily like i don't normally do. I didn't feel my head and my body didn't feel weak/Instead I felt stronger, I could feel energy flowing through me. It feels so overwhelming. How could I be this strong? How could my legs not feel weak after such an horrifying thing/My hands moved to my stomach. I didn’t feel any pain, nor did I feel the scar. At this point my legs began to shake, but it stopped almost immediately. Whatever power is flowing through me, is making me stronger.I stood up and sat on my butt, and I looked around the room I was in. everywhere is either covered or painted in whites and there are no windows or a door. I realized I was sitting on a slab like the one from the ritual. But this one was different, it was also in white. Not like the black one I was tied to.I jumped off it immediately, my foot landed well on the floor. I have never felt this strong all my life. I have only heard of
VALERIEI closed my eyes as the tears flowed down my chin. “They died protecting me.” I whispered.“Because that was their job.” Mel said.“But they shouldn't have to be dead, Why did they have to fight?” I asked, hitting the slab with my hands.“Because protecting you was their Job and I know they will do it in a heartbeat again.”“You don't know that.” I shot at her.I heard her take a deep breath, “I do Valerie. I actually do. Remember I was there right at the beginning.”The tears just couldn't stop coming, I kept slapping myself hoping this was all a dream, technically it is. Because I'm in a white room with no windows“I am powerful, '' I screamed. I couldn't believe it. All this while I had powers. All this while I could actually have put Fiona in her place. I can't wait to see her face when she finds out about this.“I wish I could meet them.” I whispered, they would have been the best parents I could ever ask for.Dieing to protect me, that's hardcore. My Tears couldn't stop
FIONA"No!" I screamed. How can this be happening? It wasn't supposed to be like this. This wasn't the plan and it clearly isn't my reward.I screamed as Listened to Lily, she was telling me what she heard Egnar say to Valerie.My breath was shuddered and I felt so much rage."When did this happen?" I asked her."She just woke up, and Egnar..." I cut her off immediately."It's Lord Egnar. If any of his loyalists hear you, they will have your head" I said to her."Yes, Fiona""So, go on.""He told her, Lord Egnar, that they will be getting married tomorrow."I shot her a confused look "why tomorrow?""I don't know, but I saw something. There was something different about Valerie.""What do you mean?" I asked."She has white hair, but I could have sworn she wasn't the one until I looked closely.""Shit!" I muttered underneath my breath. She has gotten her powers. Valerie is now powerful."She is powerful!" I spat out."What do you mean?"Lily asked.I sighed deeply, closing my eyes, thin
VALERIEI got up from the bed and walked towards the dresser in the room. My reflection amazed me.I held some parts of my white hair. It was beautiful. I have never seen anything like it, and it's on me.I saw a mini clock on the table. I picked it up and checked the time. It was ten hours away from my doomsday wedding.And I still don't have a plan yet. Marrying Egnar won't be good for the park and the people. I need to stop it.If only the Alpha weren't imprisoned. All this would have been a lot better.It's been twenty hours since Egnar told me he was going to marry me, whether I want to or not."How will I be able to save myself and my mates? Especially when I am confined to this room." I thought to myself.I moved to the door and tried to open. I picked the lock and the door open. As I tried to walk out I was faced with two mean looking men."What do you think you're doing?" One of them asked."I'm on my way to see Lord Egnar." I said.Both of them look at each other and busted
Chapter 56ANSELI looked around the cell, we have been here for days. Rotting in this cell for days!Rotting in a cell, because we didn't have our powers and our wolves were binded.And the most painful reason, Valerie was dead.My mind flashed back to he picture Egnar showed us. She was laying down on a slab in a white dress with a knife in her stomach.Why he did it. I don't know and I don't care. The only thing keeping me sane. Is the thought of ripping him apart limb by limb.She didn't look peaceful in the picture, she looked scared and unhappy.I looked at my brother, they look weak and angry at the same time and so was I.Now I know why they were angry with me when I put her into a coma. It wasn't because they were weak, they acted that way. It was because they thought she was dead.And now, she is really dead. For real this time.Everyday the guards came in and punish us. We took every punishment and insults without complaints, except the first day of course."You all are wea
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
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 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
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
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
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
