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
VALERIEI was given a stool to stand on while being dressed in the most outrageous and provocative wedding gown I have ever seen.It was big and bogus. Had a lot of fangs and feathers. It had no design just a big gown with different embroidery.But somehow it looked perfect on me, the way my hair blended with it. I almost fell in love with it and the wedding.Thinking about the wedding, I hope Fiona holds up the end of the deal we made. Even though it was stupid of her.She just wants to be a Luna, she didn't even think about it. I told her I wanted to get rid of Egnar. So how is she going to be a Luna with Egnar dead.I can't wait for this to be over, so see the look on Egnar's face as he draws his last breath.While the women dressed me I just get thinking how things will look once I destroy the wedding. It wasn't a good plan but it was the only one I got in a short while.I just wish the Alpha's are alive. This will only work if they are alive. Egnar made sure he never brought them
ANSELThe sound of the crowd made me raise my head up.There she was in the most elegant white dress I have ever since. There she was alive, not dead."My god she is alive!" I muttered it underneath my breath, I felt myself struggle to breathe as I watched her walk towards the platform.As she walked past us my heart skipped a beat. It was like watching an angel for through the platform. Her white hair blended elegantly with her white dress."White hair." I thought, I couldn't tell what It meant. "Did she dye her hair?" I thought to myself. I tried getting her attention but she ignored every attemptShe looked different, more beautiful. Somehow I could sense an aura of energy around her, she felt powerful. I love the way she held head high. She didn't feel scared anymore.I felt my eyes tearing up, I could feel the tears gather in my eyes. If felt weird but I love the feeling.I love the feeling of looking at her, i love the feeling it have me. I had felt nothing but pain when I thoug
VALERIEMy heart broke to see the Alpha's faces. They looked like I had betrayed them.Technically I have but it was better than having their necks cut off.I didn't want suspicion from Egnar. It could ruin the whole plan.Maintaining an expressionless face was the way to go. Egnar knows when someone is lying to him. I don't know how it does it but he knows.I looked at their faces as they begged me."Stop begging, don't make this hard for me." I whispered silently to myself. This only increased my hatred for Egnar. I can't wait for all this to be over with. I will be free from his grip.I knew I had to look as emotionless as possible. So I tried not to look their way offen. I can't come out as too sad or too happy. It has to be perfect.I couldn't even be seen as too eager. Egnar will see right through me and he has already threatened to cut off the Alphas head if I defile him.The thought of that made me tremble. What if the plan doesn't work? Will he really kill them?"Positive tho
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
SkylarI felt dizzy and the world spun around me. I barely had time to figure out what was going on or what had happened when I felt myself shift and my knees hit a cold and hard ground. I was supposed to be dead. I was this close to getting my head chopped off. The last thing I remembered was the guard with empty eyes raising a machete while Ramona and Coral watched me with amusement as I was about to be killed. I had accepted my fate because not only was I helpless, it was Grey who had asked for me to be killed but-Light. A light erupted, bright and blinding as it shone through the room, affecting me even more because it appeared so close to me. And now, I was here. A cave. The air was thick with the smell of moss and something I couldn’t quite place my hand on, the air was also moist and shadows were cast on the stone walls by the moonlight that shone into the tiny opening of the cave. A lantern was on but it was not bright and I blinked rapidly as I tried to figure out wh
KaidenI was in shock. Skylar was gone. One minute, she was kneeling in the middle of the hall, bleeding, wounded, her voice hoarse and broke as she begged Grey to tell them to stop. She was screaming, scared and trembling from all the exhaustion. Then in the next minute, as the guard raised the machete to behead her, a bright light shone through the room. And a figure emerged out of nothingness. It was the girl that had saved me- the one that had healed me and found a way to lessen the effect of the poison that had been given to me. The girl was facing away from us so I could see the look on her face. Coral looked surprised and so did Ramona- they had been looking for the girl and she had just appeared in front of them out of nowhere. Before I could figure out why she was here, she placed her hand on Skylar and they both disappeared. Gone. Like they had never been there in the first place. I stared at the empty space- the place she had once been, begging- and my body went ri
RamonaAfter Coral stalked away with a cold unreadable expression on her face after we had argued and I was left standing there confused. I didn’t understand why she looked at me like that. Like she was hurt that I had gone against her and she wanted to hurt me and draw my blood. I didn’t mean to go against her but, her saying I should stop my marriage to Grey was unbelievable. She knew this was what I had wanted for a very long time. I wouldn’t just throw all of it away because I wanted to please. Because Skylar had disappeared. We were in power now- in control, no one was going to win against us and I was sure we would find Skylar in no time. So, I didn’t know what the fuss was about. I dismissed everyone and stormed back to my room, not waiting for Grey to follow me. If he was really under my control, he would know what to do. Getting to my room, I slammed the door shut behind me. The sound of the door closing had echoed through the room and it felt like the walls were comin
CoralThe anger I felt was like none I had ever felt in the past. It burned hot, unrelenting and through my veins as it clawed its way to my chest like a beast that hungry blood, and would do anything to get it.Skylar was gone.Gone.Vanished before my very eyes like smoke in the wind.That girl—the one I had been desperately searching for had appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant, almost like she hadn’t appeared in the hall at all, she had stolen what was mine and had disappeared with it.And now, Skylar that was once wounded, bruised, and broken was no longer in the middle of the hall where I was getting the satisfaction of watching her bleed and beg in pain. My fists curled at my sides and turned away from the crowd towards Ramona, glaring daggers at her.“This is all your fault,” I gritted out through clenched teeth, my voice dangerously low and venomous. Ramona blinked, surprised but quickly regaining herself. She let out a scoff, rolling her eyes as she waved her hand i
ValerieI smiled in my head, satisfied when I saw that Coral was now plotting against Ramona. One thing about who has a thirst for power that wasn’t theirs or people who loved making people suffer was that they didn’t trust anyone- not even theirselves. And now that Coral had asked Ramona to do something not Ramona straight up rejecting and refusing to do it, Coral mind was made up that she was going to be eventually betrayed by Ramona. But my victory was bitter because even as I savored my success, I learned something else- something that made my insides burn.Ramona was planning her engagement to Grey and the thought of it alone made me sick.Even after all she had done, after taking away his free will, after turning him into her puppet- she still wanted more.She wanted to own him completely and I wanted to scream. To fight.To burn everything to the ground before I let her take him.But I couldn’t because I was nothing.An echo. A prisoner. A ghost trapped in my own body, curs
GreyI was drowning.Not in water. Not in blood.In her.I had to put up with Ramona, be with her all the time while acting lovingly. Her presence felt suffocating, filling every part of me, twisting my thoughts, coursing through my mind and making me desire her even if I really didn’t want to. I could still feel her magic coursing through me, strong, unrelenting and taking away my willpower as she forced me to do as she wanted. My body obeyed each and every of her commands- in fact, she didn’t need to tell me to do something before I did it sometimes. The words that came out of my mouth were what she wanted to hear and my hands did as she wanted- whether it was a massage, a hug or a cuddle. And I hated it.I hated every second of this existence.Hated the way my own body betrayed me, the way I knew I was doing something monstrous but couldn’t stop myself.Most of all, I hated what I had done to them.Kaiden. Ansel. Skylar.I hated myself because I had whipped them. Over and over a
CoralI raised my hand to her mouth and held it together, cutting her off with one quick movement of my hand. She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at me like I was crazy, making me drop my hand and roll my eye in response. She pulled me close to her and wrapped her around me for a hug. I stood stiffly in her arms and wondered why she was hugging which spiked up my suspicion. I pulled away from her and eyed her with suspicion. Ramona blinked at me, her expression smug. “Why did you hold me by my mouth?” She asked in amusement. “Now, I’ve lost my train of thoughts and I can’t remember the last thing you said. Plus, you looked tense, that’s why I hugged you, maybe that would help.”“You never stop talking, do you?” I asked as I slightly bent my head to the side, studying her. She let out a small and soft laughter, it was the best sound ever and on normal days, I would have laughed along with her but now? It only made my skin crawl. “I had a vision,” I said, my voice blunt a
