Scott They have discovered me, and now I was fast enough to run, but I chose not to. I was fast enough to kill and well, I did it. As they attacked, they ran to their deaths, with my speed, I attacked them as they attacked me, and shortly enough, I littered the hallways with bodies, the only thought in my head was rescuing Skylar. My heart ached with anticipation of seeing her, and I let out a shaky sigh. One of the things she wanted me to give up was killing, and I was literally going to show up with blood of a hundred guards on my hands, literally. The hallway was silent, too silent, only the sound of my feet stepping in the hall echoing back at me. I turned in my super hearing , and heard nothing. It was strange, did I kill everyone? Then I heard something. In the distance, I heard tropes of guards running and the sound of a helicopter hovering. I rushed to the balcony and surely enough, Egnar and the guards filled vehicles, and they seemed to be headed somewhere in a hear
Scott “Ansel should be in one of the cells under the house, but I don’t think it would be easy to access them. A lot of guards are stationed in front of the cells and they are the worst of them.” Skylar said as we walked towards the cells. I ignored the way her body curved as she walked in front of me. I ignored everything. I didn’t have the right to notice. Pushing the thought of her away, I focused on what she was saying. “To get in, we need a plan. A stable plan. We can’t just rush in there and hope we kill them before they kill us, Scott.” She gave me a glance, and I forced a smile which came out as a grimace. She let out a sigh. “I couldn’t wait for you to come back forever. Neither could fate.” Her words rang in my ear and I felt my fangs dig into my lips painfully. She was right. I could have chased after her. I could have promised to change, but I let her go. I chose this. Her eyes met mine, “I hope you meet someone who would love you more than I did-“ “No.”
Grey Octavia chuckled as we came running towards her with Amelia behind us, and two witches left Valerie and came to us, trying to stop us. One of them faced us and the other faces Amelia. The witch in front of us smirked, and rose her hand up, but Kaden leaped on her. She narrowly dodged his attack, and used her powers to push him back, but I didn’t relent as I waited for my turn to leap on her. But with a hand, she let out a blast of power and I felt my body fly and collide with a tree. The collision caused my body to ache, but I refused to stay down, Kaden’s voice coming into my head. “Get up, Grey. We can’t afford to lose now.” I struggled to my paws, my body screaming in protest. The witch Amelia was battling with was getting beaten by Amelia, but she was also powerful. I held my breath. Amelia would beat her. Octavia was still chuckling, clearly enjoying the spectacle. “How nice to see you fools try so hard to stop something that is bigger than you.” "Come
Valerie For hours, I was trapped in that void, the only thing I was hearing was the chants of the witches as they tried to unleash my last power. They trapped me in this void, and I couldn’t move, I couldn’t scream. I just waited for them to find out my power was unleashed. I had given up. I hid at the back of my mind, my heart breaking. If she was able to get my powers then that was the end of everything I’ve tried to stop. What was the use of stoping Egnar when someone just as bad was going to do the same? I felt something open, and I realized it was the dam of my powers that I forced to close. They were successful. I closed my eyes and a tear dropped from my eye and landed on my arm. I sobbed lightly. I let everyone down. Kaden warned me and I kept pushing him away and away and I let her deceive me all because I wanted a family. My chest burned with self hatred, and I sobbed away into the darkness, but a hand tenderly touched my shoulder. “Don’t blame yoursel
Scott Skylar was unsettled as she paced far away from the clinic where Ansel and I sat, and we brainstormed on how to stop her from self destructing. The only way out was Killing Egnar. That was the thing, we couldn’t hunt him down, not when Skylar was adamant on staying with Miles because she caused all this, her words, and we couldn’t leave Skylar to stop her from killing Miles and us, in an hour. We sat in silence, the only noice from the clinic and Skylar’s tiny feet pit patting on the floor as she viscously paced. “When I go berserk, kill me please.” She suddenly spoke, her eyes wide with plea. Ansel took one glance at her and said, “No.” She sighed, and nodded, turning to me. “Scottie?” My heart tugged at the use of her private name for me, but the thought of losing her physically hurt and I’d rather die instead. “I’d rather die, Sky.” Was all I muttered, and her eyes widened in realization. She knew that was true. I would never let anything happen to her. A
Scott The look on Skylar’s face was one I recognized from the first day we met. She had told me that her parents had just died, but she was glammed up, beautifully dressed and sitting on my party yacht like nothing had happened, but with that smile on her face. When we finally ended up in the next morning after the party was over and our clothes were gone, did she break down with tears. I was a vampire, I’ve seen many women and stopped looking for my mate long ago, but here she was, sobbing like a broken doll. I couldn’t leave her. And I sure as hell wouldn’t leave her to deal with this with that smile on her face. Miles growled angrily. “That’s a bloody lie and you know it.” She stared at him, before rolling the other miles off her back. “Well, no use of saving him anymore.” The other miles rolled off the floor, groaning weakly and I wondered who that is. She gestured to the Miles on the floor. “Who is he, anyway?” Miles shrugged. “A clone? Egnar did most of it.” “So you ju
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 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
