Valerie By the end of the day, everything was being repaired. Our soldiers who rebelled against us with Egnar were punished, prisoners taken under his regime were freed and a fest was planned for the successful takeover and the fact that we have destroyed our enemies once and for all. Kaden as been stressed as he made calls with our partners on end, while Grey has been ensuring the security of the pack was all high. Ansel came to me after he finished reprimanding the soldiers who rebelled and joined me in the shower, where he showed me just how much he missed me on the days where I was away. The party was already on, and I got dressed as I prepared to talk to Skylar. Scott seemed like he had it under control, but I knew she needed me. I pulled away from Ansel’s kisses, instructing him to go and change as I left room, heading for Skylar’s room. I heard her before I saw her. She was sobbing and I pushed the door away, stepping in to help her immediately. Skylar was sitt
THIS BOOK IS A SEQUEL OF THE FORMER ONE. IF YOU LOVED THE LAST BOOK, YOU WILL LOVE THIS ONE.THE CURSE OF THE ORACLE I winced at the painful kick I felt on my bladder, and Ansel held my hand tightly as I was pushed out of the house in a wheelchair, unable to walk. I was heavily pregnant today was the day the baby was due. And as Grey opened the door of the car after screaming at the poor driver to get out, I smiled to myself. I couldn’t wait to raise this kid with my lovely mates. After three years of marriage, not for one second have I loved them less, and finding out I was pregnant was the best day of our lives. I couldn’t wait to welcome my beautiful baby into the world. Ansel stopped the wheelchair In front of the back seat and carried me out of it, not feeling the extra pounds I added, and placing a soft kiss on my lips. “You are so strong baby. I’m sorry we stressed you like this by putting our sperm into you so frequently.” I feigned being angry as I slapped his shou
Valerie The message I received usually as the oracle, the mouth piece of the moon goddess were mostly prophecies of many happenings in the kingdom. Warnings of unfortunate circumstances, plans from the enemies, many visions of the future of many, especially new borns. I never understood most of the vague messages and dreams I had. Often times, I translated it the way I knew. Most times I was right, and the prophecy happens the way I say it would. But this dream. This dream must not happen the way I think it would. Oh goddess don’t let it happen this way. My hands shook as I laid on the hospital bed, trying to think of other meanings, other translations. Begging the moon goddess that everything that I’ve had doesn’t go down the drain. Selene doesn’t always answer when I call. She only tells me what she wants me to know. And this, I needed her to reply. I don’t want to lose this life. Flashes of the dream crossed my mind and I gripped my hair hard to push it away. I
Kaden A sigh left my lips as I rolled over in bed, my hand landing on Valerie’s belly and I smiled trailing my fingers down her tonned belly.Until I remembered she didn’t have a toned belly. So my eyes sprung open to see my hand on my stupid brother’s belly. And I groaned, immediately pulling my hand away and punching him in his stupid toned abdomen. He let out a groan as he gripped his belly, his eyes pulling wide open and they landed on my face with a scowl.“Why did you do that, asdhole.” Ansel gruffly asked as he tried returning the punch, but I gripped his hand before he could land one on my face.“I hate sharing a bed with you assholes. But we share a mate, so what can I say?” Grey stood up from his side butt naked, and I rolled my eyes as I pushed Ansel away and got up from the bed at least covered in briefs.I stretched and a yawn left my lips, “Seems like Valerie woke up early. Weird, I thought she would be so tired after last night.”Grey’s brows furrowed. “Wait, I didn’t
Kaden Move on? Move on? If this whole situation wasn’t so messed up, I probably would have laughed or something. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t think. Was this a joke? If it was then so help me goddess, I may never forgive Valerie for this badly planned out joke. Ansel was nowhere to be found as I stormed to the temple of the oracle, while Grey was locked up in his room.We had different coping mechanisms. Ansel loves to rip things apart, while Grey locked himself up. I found solutions. Or answers. I needed an answer. What was the vision and why did Valerie run away with our daughter?I arrived at the temple, my chest heaving with every breath as I pushed the heavy doors open. The scent of incense filled the air, mingling with the chill that seemed to seep from the stone walls. The temple’s silence felt like a living thing, wrapping around me, pressing down. It was a place of answers, but it also held secrets. Too many secrets.The oracle’s servants were there, robed, going about thei
AnselA growl left my lips as I stormed out of the building, my head whirling with a million thoughts, all a prerequisite of one thought.Valerie left. On our mating ceremony, she promised to never leave and now, she was not even bothered enough to leave a note. She left with our daughter and I felt only one thing, rage.“Your highness please calm down! Killing the prisoners would do anything to help you!” The Jailer tried reasoning with me, but my wolf was in vontr and I needed anything to restrict the pain and hurt I was feeling.Valerie abandoned us, and stole from me what I loved the most, her and now Elara, who I haven’t even been able to tell her how much I loved her. Was it all just a plot? To make us let our guard down? Was it just to get back to us for what happened in highschool?Stupid reasons right? I just couldn’t think of what we could have possibly done to be betrayed this way.The anger coursed through my veins as I went to the execution grounds, where the prisoners wh
Grey Skylar tried talking to us, trying to reason with us that there was a reason Valerie didn’t want us to look for her but none of us even paid her a drop of attention. She hid the location of Valerie from us and watched us suffer. Hell, she even consoled me and made me feel better.I loved Skylar, that was the only reason I wasn’t ripping her head of her body at this moment. And little Dennis would hate me for life. I didn’t want to be the uncool uncle. He already has Kaden.Skylar followed us to the car, while we pretended she didn’t exist. Ansel had already worn his clothes and he slipped into the driver seat, while Skylar held my hand, causing me to tense up as I glared at her palm on my skin.“Skylar, I’m hanging on thin ice. I don’t want to hurt you.” My words dropped coldly, because that was all I could feel towards her. She betrayed me.“Stop it Grey. You would never hurt me. Just… let me follow you guys okay?” I glanced at Kaden who seemed like the last thing he wanted wa
Valerie Earlier that day, I stared at the letter I was about to drop for them, my eyes hurt from crying. I didn’t want to leave them this way. I wanted to explain, to make them understand I wasn’t leaving because I didn’t want them again, but that was difficult to put down on a piece of paper. I knew my mates. They were going to look for me no matter what I wrote in the letter, and I wished I could figure it out with them but I couldn’t. Leaving them without an explanation was the best choice. I left Skylar and explanation, and gave her another letter to give them after months, to make them understand. But as I stared a them standing at my front door, I wanted nothing than to come back home. I almost broke down just by thinking about it. But that wasn’t an option. I wanted to turn back a million times as i and Coral drove out. Coral followed me because she was the second in command and the one who could help me in raising Elara to be the next oracle. I also didn’t want to be o
For almost 300 chapters, I wrote the story of six imaginary characters, and somewhere along the line, I forgot that they were just a figment of my imagination. I fell in love with their pain and their stories, and for one year, they were the one constant in my otherwise unbalanced life. If you are reading this, then they grew on you, too. Thank you for staying with me as I poured my imagination onto paper. Our journey has to end here, but this journey would have been nothing without you, my precious readers. I hope you stay back and become more than just a reader but part of the family. If you hang on a bit longer, we could also grow along with the new characters in my new books.I love every one of you. And loyal readers, even the grammar correctors and inline comment editors, are the reason I wake up, and writing is what keeps me going every day. Thank you, and I hope to see you in my next project.
ValerieThe palace was filled with the sound of laughter and music. It had been years since we had conquered the people that almost ruined our lives, tried to kill us and also tear us apart. Today, we celebrated.Elara was eighteen.My baby- the little girl who had been taken, nearly lost, and fought for- was now a woman. And not just any woman. She was stronger, beautiful and much more powerful than she had been as a baby. And most importantly, she was loved. She was standing at the center of the hall, her beautiful golden eyes glowing under the light and her white gown cascading around her. I was standing at the balcony as I stared at her and made sure everything was going on right at the party. “You’re going to cry aren’t you?” A familiar voice asked. I turned around to see that it was Kaden and he wore a smug smirk on his face. “I’m not one to cry,” I replied him with a scoff“Now, you’re lying,” Grey said as he walked to stand beside me. “You cried when she turned ten.”“
ValerieThe battle was over.The war was won.And yet, the weight in my chest remained.We had survived. We had fought against powerful people that threatened to end life as we knew it, we had lost people but we still managed to come out victorious though injured and weak. I looked around at what remained from the intense fighting- the floor was stained with blood, broken and bloodied weapons were scattered all over the floor and then the bodies- they laid uncountable and badly battered as life had left them. So many bodies. Some were ours, but most belonged to the Revolutionaries who had dared to challenge us.And then there was Scott who had fought so hard to protect my daughter and kingdom. He had lost his father in the process. He was kneeling close to his father’s body, his body was tense and he was silent, an unreadable expression on his face as he stared at the lifeless body of the man who had protected him instead of leaving him to die. A true father. I wanted to comfort hi
ScottI couldn’t wrap my mind around anything that was going on. It was all a blur and I could see nothing but red. The shouts of battle as the triplets surged forward, the sound of sword against slow, claws tearing against flesh and the sound of bodies hitting the floor all faded into the background. All I could see was him. My father. His now lifeless body was laying on the floor, his once powerful and mighty body was nothing more than a dead body now. His blood stained the floor beneath him, it was dark- darker than a normal blood should be and it pooled all both of us and my body too as it polled beneath him also. His eyes that were once sharp, the same eyes that had intelligence, history and a lot of battles surging through them were now more than empty- lifeless. Gone.The father I had just begun to understand. The father who had saved me. The father I thought hated me- only to realize too late that he didn’t.He had never really hated me, he just didn’t know how to show
Valerie Elara cried in my arms, her little body trembling against my hold on her. Scott was still battling against them, stronger than Kaden, Ansel and Kaden while Skylar stood by the side, fear written all over her face, looking traumatized. Andrea and her second in command were no more fearful, instead they were angry as they looked at the floor that was soaked with the blood of their men.“Give the baby to me,” Andrea snarled, her voice as sharp as a razor. I held Elara tighter, stepping back instinctively. “Over my dead body.”He smirked. “That can be arranged.”Others were still fighting as she made her way to me. I barely had time to react when she reached for me, clawing at Elara. Her movement was fast- too fast. A low growl ripped past my lips before I could stop it as my wolf howled in anger. I wasn’t going to let her touch my baby. My body was burning as my wolf took over, my bones shifting and snapping out of place. My muscles stretched and my fur sprouted along my
Valerie Elara’s cry stopped me dead in my tracks as her cries pierced through the air, their grip on her tightening. The sliver blade of the dagger hovered dangerously close to her neck as it glinted under the bright moonlight. Everything inside me was burning and screaming at me. I had to save her.But I wasn’t fast enough.The moment I moved, the leader pressed the blade closer. “If you take one more step,” she said, her voice filled with warning as a cruel smile curled at her lips. “I’ll kill her and I’ll made sure it’s a slow and enjoyable death for me.”I froze in place, my heart racing and my nerves all over the place. Kaden and Ansel tensed up as they stood beside me with clenched hands and anger coursing through their bodies, barely able to control the frustration they were feeling. Grey on the other was shaking with a barely suppressed anger as he halted daggers at Andrea. The air was heavy and suffocating. Then, all of a sudden, something shifted. I heard a low and dee
Valerie Scott looked uncertain. His eyes glowered between us all, the expression on his face was unreadable as if he was having an internal battle with himself on what he had to do next. I could feel the tension that was radiating off Ansel, Kaden and Grey’s bodies. We were all ready to fight even if it was the last thing that we did but we were weak and we needed Scott to make a choice, we needed him to do something. The men and women of the revolution stood on the other side path there weapons and out and ready, waiting for either us or Scott to do something against what they wanted. Skylar was kneeling by Andrea’s legs, her jaw was clenching and tears were running down her face. I knew she was feeling stupid because Kaden had said they weren’t to be trusted and she hadn’t listened. She had been so stubborn and all of this was partially her fault. She was so desperate to have her family back that she forgot that no one was to be trusted. Scott let out a small sigh as he ran hi
Valerie“So how do we get there?” Grey asked, his voice filled with urgency.“That’s simple, this…” i trialed off before it turned to look at the woman. “I didn’t get your name, what name do you go by?”“My name is Andrea,” she replied with a tight smile and I nodded. “So as I was saying, since she knows the way to the vampire kingdom, we just have to follow behind her and pray we get there as fast as we can,” I explained and the guys nodded in approval while Skyler just looked at us indifferently. “So we go now? Without any plans of anything happens?” Ansel asked, the anger he was feeling evident in his voice. “Nothing is going to happen, Ansel,” Skylar said thejugj gritted teeth. “I already told you that there’s nothing to worry about. Just because you’re now finding out that Scott is a vampire doesn’t make him any different from the man that you’ve known since.”“Oh please, what if he’s about to show that he really ha-“ Ansel started but a look from me was wvkugh to shut him up.
Scott I walked out of my father’s presence and walked back to the maids to get the baby. I had thought that I was only going to be there for a few minutes before I headed back out and look for somewhere safe but there really wasn’t anywhere better than the heavily guarded estate of my father’s kingdom. But when my hand reached for the door knob, I stopped, realizing that I needed to take a shower and get my powers back if I really wanted to win this battle. The babies were with Raye- the maid that had brought me and my brother up and I was that they were in safe hands. I turned on my heels and headed towards the healers part the house. When I got there, her mouth fell open as she bombarded me with questions. “After years of you staying away from here, you come back with so many injuries and a weak body?” She asked as she ushered me to a sit by the corner of the room. “It’s not like I intentionally did this to myself,” I replied coldly but soon regretted it when I saw the look on
