“Oh my goodness!” I whispered.“I don't believe you. Seize her.” The guards immediately held her down, but she escaped from their struggle.“I said seize her.” I commanded.“You have the voice.” She said.“What voice?” I asked confused.“The voice of a commanding white wolf.”I looked stunned, “we know each other, how can you believe I'm a white wolf if I can't tell you are one.” She said.“Her hair gave her away.” Grey said, I turned around to look at him.She looks at me and turned around, “what about her.” She pointed to someone with white hair as well but not as white as mine.“Not white enough for you?” Ansel asked sarcastically.“I'm having a hard time believing her.” I said to Mel.“Me too, I can't find her wolf but I know she is a white wolf.” She said“How sure are you, this could be a trap made by Egnar.”“True but I don't think a white wolf would attack another white wolf.”“Release her.” I said to the guards, they hesitated looking at the Alpha.“Valerie— we don't know her
VALERIEI jumped up from my bed, took a veil and walked towards my door.“Hopefully, there won't be any guards.” I said to myself as I opened the door. Fortunately there weren't any.Ever since Octavia arrived, Kaden has confined me to my room. He practically forbidden me from seeing her.I walked out, not caring of the looks around me. It's just a bikini, hasn't anyone seen a bikini?“They haven't seen it on a white wolf.” Mel said.“That's ridiculous. Anyone can wear a bikini.” I responded to her.When I got to the pool, I could see my reflection in it. I loved the way my body radiated, I felt so confident but I didn't want to get into the water.I sat down and put my feet in the water, it felt really good and refreshing. I tried to close my eyes and tried to block out the noises from the maids. I opened my eyes to look at them, but they seem to be engrossed in their conversations.“They don't seem to care that you need your peace.” I heard Octavia's voice behind me.I looked ov
VALERIEI looked around it was dark, that increased the fear rising inside of me.I couldn't breath, I held my throat trying to gasp for air.What was that? How can I be this sacred and don't know why.Or rather, I can't remember why. I closed my eyes as I held my throat, trying to remember my dream.This has never happened before, for some reason I always remember my dreams whether bad or good. This is the first.“Haa!” I screamed as I heard some noise behind my window.“Valerie,” I heard my name, it was Ansel. I have totally forgotten he is in the room with me.“What's wrong?” He asked.I could speak, I wanted to but my lips weren't moving.“It's okay, it's okay.” He hugged me. “It's just a dream.”“I can't remember.” I said to him.He sighed, “you don't have to, it's a bad dream.” I pulled away from him, “I have I remember.” I stood from the bed and moved towards the window.I looked out, trying to see who was there, “there is no one there, come to bed.” Ansel says.“Why can't I
VALERIEI rested my head on the bathtub, trying to catch my breath.I stared at Kaden's bare chest. His eyes were closed. I watched as his chest matched the rhythm of his breathing.“That was intense.” I whispered.His eyes were still closed but he smiled, “I thought it was fun.” I splash the soapy water on his body. He opened his eyes immediately.“I don't like fun.” I said.“But I do, and I know it pisses you off.” I rolled my eyes at it. He gave me a shocked look, “did you just roll your eyes at me.”I rolled my eyes again and replied, “I did.” “You shouldn't do that.” I rolled my eyes again and whispered, “what do you want to do about it.” He stood up from the bathtub in all his glory. I watched as he walked out of it. “Where are you okay?” I asked, confused about what he was doing.“I'm about to punish you.” He said.His hands came into the water, he picked me off the bathtub.“What are you doing?!” I screamedHe carried me out of the bathroom and landed me on the bed.“You
SKYLAR.I placed my hands on the rails in my bedroom. “You need to sleep.” I heard Miles behind me.“I know, I will be with you in a second.” I turned and said to him.He gave a huge sigh and landed on the bed.I looked up to the sky, it wasn't bright at all today.The moon wasn't even there and it has been like that for a while now.“Maybe that's why I have been having these nightmares.” I thought to myself.There have been weird dreams and anytime I wake up I can't seem to be able to understand them. I hardly remember, I was frightened anytime I woke up after such a dream.I kept staring at the sky, thinking I will see even if it's a half moon. I will feel fine when I go to sleep.I stood there watching the sky, I checked my phone. It has been an hour since I have been standing.I sighed deeply, and walked towards the bed. Took off my robe, placed it on the stand and laid beside Miles.I chuckled as he drew me closer to him myself. He does that whenever we are sleeping together.Bu
VALERIE“Skylar?” I asked stunned, “the only thing Skylar has attention for is Miles.” I said.“He is a person not a thing.” Grey inserted.“I know that, but the thing is—”“The thing is nothing.” He cut me off, “Skylar will have to rise to the responsibility along with Miles, because you are not going out of this park on your own.”“But—.”“But nothing,” he placed his fingers on my lips. “But nothing, Valerie. I love you too much to let you go by yourself.” He looks at me affectionately, “even if your Aunt is going with you.”I sighed deeply, I wasn't going to win this battle with him. His mind was already made up and his face looked like it.“Okay.” I agreed. I took his fingers and kissed them, smiling, I placed his fingers on his chest.“You better go get ready then.” He drew me closer and placed his lips on mine.He teased me with his lips, breathing on them. Making me shudder under his touch.“You can't keep doing that–.”My words filled his mouth as he crashed his lips on mine.
KADEN“Make sure that the meat doesn't go stale.” I told some of the servants, “if the people in the palace don't want it, give it out.”“Yes my Lord.” The eldest among them said.I opened the door to my office, “walk with me.” I said to my assistant.“Have you written all the letters I asked you to write?” I asked him.“Yes, my Lord. And each one of them has been sent.” I sensed a hesitation in his voice. “What is it?” I growled.I wanted him to know, whether he wants to tell or not, he has to tell me.“Only the letter to Lord Glover, my Lord.”“And why is that?” I asked him.“I thought My Lord, sinuhe supported Egnar—”I cut him off, “Lord Glover and his people are still members and citizens of this park, which means they're under my authority.” I paused for a while“Which also means, you're sending him that letter.” I stared at him in the eyes “At once, my Lord.” He said and ran away.I placed my hands behind me and continued my walk down the hall.My mind was filled with many th
GREY“We need to get to the Car, immediately.” Ansel said immediately he saw Octavia.My mind flashed back to the arrow running towards me and me being in a different position.“Grey, we need to move.” Ansel shot at me.“Of course.” I brought myself up from the trance.“We need to move in a way that the arrow doesn't change in the slightest positions.”“How can we do that?” Valerie asked.“First you need to get down.” I said to her.“I'm not leaving her.” She cried out.“No, no. That's not what I'm asking you to do.” Ansel held her, she still had her hands around Octavia's chest.“I just need you to let her go for a while, until we get her in the car.”“But I need to keep trying to heal her.’ she says.“I know that, but for it to be less worse. You need to let her go.” “Okay.” She said, crying. “I will let her go.” “Okay, just do it gently. Don't try to shake her.”“Oh my goddess. My Lady.” Lisa, her Lady in waiting ran into the room.“Do not move.” I command her.“Yes, Alpha.” An
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
