VALERIEMy eyes were getting blurry, there was a stingling feeling in my throat. The sight of the food on the dinner table made it worse. I could help but feel sickening in my stomach.What does lily mean by it is done. Is this another ploy. The look on look Darius's face when it was something of great importance.He still wore the ugly smug on his face, Fiona and Lily stung on him like he was their savior.“What do you mean?” I directed my question at Lily. She just scoffed and her lips curved in to smile.I will do anything to take it off her lips this very moment but I felt really strange and my head was beginning to hurt.But then she wasn't my friend, she was my enemy. And I will do anything to get rid yny enemy. I got up from the chair and stormed to her.I held her by her dress, “what do you mean! What do you mean!” I said, shaking her violently.Fiona came from behind, pulled me away from Lily and I fell to the ground.They both started kicking and punching me. Lord Darius jus
KADENI woke up to the feeling of the dart that was earlier pieced in my skin. My eyes were blurry as I tried to open them.Then it all came to me, the ambush, meeting up with Lily. We were supposed to be one setting the ambush, not walking into an ambush.Opening my eyes was hard, I felt a sharp pain as I tried. I tried pulling my hands to my face. It was then I realised I was tied up.I felt numb, my hands were tied to the wall, I could barely feel my fingers, but I could feel the pains from the wolfbane injected into my system.My eyes had started adjusting to the darkness. I could see the marks on the wall. They were from the fangs from a full grown werewolf.I saw my brothers dangling from the ceiling. Their hands were tied up to the ceiling and they looked unconscious.“Ansel! Grey!” I whispered, trying to wake them up. I could see Ansel flinch but Grey didn’t respond.“Be quite.!” I heard a gruff voice from the shadows. I tried to see who was talking but all I got was the darkn
VALERIEI watch as the alphas exchanged words with Egnar. Their eyes are filled with pure hatred and distaste. And he knew just the right button to press to get the alpha howling in anger.My stomach flinched as to the way they all reacted when Egnar said he was taking me for a mate. Including Ansel who I thought didn't like me. I could see their pains coursing through me, like a piercing into my soul.“That will never happen.” Grey growled at Egnar in anger.I watched as Egnar laughed, his mockery was something of a different level. “You think you have a choice, or the power to stop me.” he stopped talking and gave her a hard look. “I will show you all what real power is like.” we all looked on wondering what he meant.All of a sudden he grabbed and shoved his tongue in between my mouth. His hands were all over me, holding tightly like his property. My stomach twisted, and I felt disgusted. With a wave of nausea coming I knew I had to do something. “Haaa! You little cunt.” he said l
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
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
