VALERIEIt's been a few days but I can say, Octavia is finally on her feet. She has been able to move and give out instructions to members of her park.They all seem to love and worship her. I could feel the love they have for her radiating out of them. Especially the children, immediately she came out of the room she has been in since I brought her, they all ran to her, hugging her.It felt good seeing her receive so much love in a place. I only wish Kaden could see this and stops his madness against Octavia.Over the past few days she has introduced me to some members of the park. Most of them welcome me with warm hearts, others gave me the exact cold treatment Silvia gave to me.One woman said to me, “she shouldn't be here. Her place is not here.”Octavia reprimanded her immediately telling her, “Valerie's place is here. With her kind. She is a white wolf.”Sometimes I wonder about the mixed reactions to me being in their midst. My mind can't help but make me think about it most of
VALERIE“Oh my goodness, Kaden!” I screamed, “what happened!”“She did this.” Grey pointed at Silvia, sounding furious and turned into his world, preparing to attack Silvia.Silvia also turned into a wolf immediately, she turned into a silver wolf.“Both of you stop at once.” I tried to calm them down.But they were both groaning and howling at the same time.“Aunt Octavia, help.” I pleaded with her. “They will kill each other.”“You are a white wolf, there is power in your voice.”Grey turned back into his human form but not Silvia. She took off towards Grey.“I said stop this at once!” I screamed and the whole ground shock with a wave of wind washing all over us, sending Silvia to the floor.I was shocked beyond words, I didn't know I could do that.“How dare you?!” Silvia yelled as she turned into her human form.“I'm sorry, I didn't know what happened.” I said to her.“Don't be sorry, Valerie. Silvia got what she deserved.” Aunt Octavia said to me.“But, Octavia—”She cuts her off,
VALERIEI ran into the woods, feeling the leaves all around my body,the grass trying to take a piece of my legs. I can hear the birds around and the sound of the trees dancing with the waves. I could feel more tears pouring down my face as I ran.I stopped trying to catch my breath but it didn't seem to reach a level of calm, so I started running again.“Haa!” I felt something go into my leg. I bent down to look at it. “How bad is it?” My wolf asks “It's not bad at all, I don't even know why I screamed.” I said“Probably because you are angry.” She says“Probably…” I replied to her. “Do you hear that?” I ask her“It's a lake!” I screamed while sighting the water.Oh my goodness, it's been a while since I have seen a lake. Or have I seen one.I ran towards it and jumped into the water, taking all its coolness and spirits with me. I bent over and placed my hands inside the lake, it felt really cold and I loved it.I sighted a rock from where I was standing and walked towards it.The
KADENShe just kept running and didn’t look back. I could hear her sobbing on her way, an instinct told me to go with her but I needed to be here to search through Octavia.I started pacing up and about in Octavia’s room. I didn’t mean to deny her my promise but I need to make sure that Octavia isn’t playing her. She has been hurt a lot of times and I just don’t want it to happen again. I kept looking through her things, trying to find a clue regarding the white wolves or why information concerning the white is being decimated. But I also don’t want to fight with Valerie, she means a lot to me and fighting with her or making her cry, a part of me bleeds because of that. But her safety is very important. Her not being hurt by anyone including someone posing as her family is a priority for me. I need to see this through.If at least I get a shred of evidence against Octavia, maybe, just maybe for once Valeria will believe me and not see me as a villain. It hurts when she sees me as a v
ANSELThe wolf bond was becoming stronger and more painful. That means whatever Valerie is going through must be hell.“Can you see this?” I faced Kaden and Grey, holding my chest. “This, whatever is going on between the both of you, is a behavior I can't stand.”“Ansel–” Kaden called out to me.“Enough!” I screamed, all the birds around flew away immediately.“I can't deal with your fight anymore. I'm suppose to be tracking down Egnar, not be in the bushes because both of you can't protect her “ I said to them“I can protect her.” Grey said, staring hard on Kaden.“Oh really, when you didn't see her with Kaden. Your first instinct was to pick a fight with him and not find her.” I said to him“And you.” I faced Kaden, “when will you let go of these accusations. Valerie found you going through Octavia's things and she ran because she was mad at you.”“I can fix it.” He says“Fix it.” Grey said before I could speak, “with your obsession how are you going to fix it.” He said.“Grey, that
VALERIE“It's not true.” I shook my head violently.Silvia laughed like a crazy person, “which part isn't true, because I will be happy to enlighten you.” She says, staring down at me.“Aunt Octavia is taking my powers and you aren't either. We are here because you are just a spiteful little girl.”I saw her right hand raised and it came across my face.I tried to touch myself but the ropes on my hands won't let me, “you slapped me.” I whispered.“Yes, and I will do it again.” She says hashly“Aunt Octavia will come for me, Kaden, Ansel and Grey will come for me and you will be a pile of dust.”“You need to stop saying that.” She says“Saying what?!” I shot at her“That Octavia will save you, when she is the one coming to harm you.”“She will never hurt me, I'm her family and you will be punished for doing this to me.”“Wow! I thought you were empathetic.” She saysI gave her a puzzled look, “what do you mean?” I swallowed my saliva, my throat began to ache.“You just said I will be p
KADENThe gas seems to stop us from moving or even changing the direction of our heads. I watched as Octavia walked away with a smirk on her lips. She has planned this from the beginning. She knew exactly what to do to push our buttons, to let our guard down in protecting Valerie.She put me beside her room because she knew I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to sniff through her room and if Valerie finds out she wouldn't want to stay with me.Saving Grey was definitely part of the plan, she had to know it will change him and make him sympathetic towards her but most importantly how did she know he will do that.“I can't believe this is happening. This is all my fault.” Grey said“You need to get yourself together, and figure out how we are going to get out of here.” “I think I can move my fingers.” We heard Ansel say“Are you sure?” I asked him“Yeah, try yours.” He saysI tried to move my fingers but I ended up moving my entire body.“Shit!” I got control of my body and so did A
VALERIEMy head was spinning in different places, I could hardly see what's going on in the room.Everyone seems to be moving in motion, doing one thing or the other.Octavia passed my me, so with my tied arms, I held her hands. “Aunt Octavia, this isn't real right. You are just messing with me?” I asked her, my whole body was shaking.“Of course not honey, this is all a dream.” She said caressing my hair. I gave a huge breath out of me.“Thank the goddess.”“A dream of me taking your powers.” She says.“But it still is a dream. That means it's not real.” My words came out in a shaking voice.“What are you twelve?” Silvia spoke, “you can't tell the difference between reality and the dream world?” she asks“In reality, my Aunt Octavia will never hurt me. Right Aunt Octavia?” I asked, trying to squeeze her hands.She slapped my hands away and moved away from me. “I'm not your Aunt.” She says“What!” It was supposed to come out as a scream but it came out of my mouth in a whisper.“I don
ValerieI ran out of the room, unable to bear the way they all looked at me, especially Kaden with the hatred in his eyes. These men were the men who would have killed anyone who spoke to me in that manner, but because they lost their memories, i was nothing but a stranger who killed tried to kill their cousin. I even thought Ansel wouldn't be so hard on me because of the moment we had the last time, but it seemed like that meant little to nothing to him now. I meant nothing now. How was i supposed to accomplish my mission and stop doom if on my first day, they hated me? I almost caused harm to Dennis. I could have gotten that little angel injured because i was stupid enough to request for Skylar to do something that risky.I finally stopped in an emoty hallway, and cried into my hands. Maybe it was a good thing i already placed Elara in Sky’s room with the spare key I have. All the tears and frustration i felt came pourig down, and i couldnt keep it in. i was such a failure,and i ha
Valerie's POVThe first thing I saw when I stepped through the pack’s border was chaos. Blood stained the earth, and the metallic tang of it filled the air. Wolves fought viciously, claws tearing into flesh as the sounds of snarls and cries filled the forest. I froze for a moment, the intensity of it all overwhelming me. This was not the kind of welcome I’d anticipated.Then I saw her—Skylar—her usually vibrant energy now subdued as she cradled her son in her arms. My heart clenched at the sight of her cowering near a fallen tree, a rogue looming over her with deadly intent. Before I could move to help, a flash of fur blurred past me, and I saw Grey—his wolf form tearing into the rogues with feral determination..When Grey reached Skylar, she was already bleeding, her abdomen slashed open by the rogue’s claws. My stomach churned as I watched the strange woman step in, her magic weaving a protective barrier and then healing Skylar with her spellIt wasn’t long before the battle subsid
GreyAfter we left the office, Ramona let out a loud sigh. “Gosh i dont think ive ever felt that intimidated before. You alphas are sexy but damn.”I let out a chuckle, knowing that she was right, but they werent always bad. But now was a time where we had to be cautious. We were alreadfy under a lot of pressure. This wasnt the time to trust foolishly like Kaden may think i currently am doing. Yes i attracted to her but that dudnt mean i trusted her with my life. I already made up my mind to put her under survelliance. “Butr you arent like that are you? Yes sexy, but not that intimidating? Or you are more of a sneaky type?”Flirty little Ramona batted her eyelashes at me, and i rolled my eyes in response, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. “Sneaky isn’t my style. I’d rather people know exactly where they stand with me,” I said, my tone even. “And right now, you’re somewhere between mildly useful and highly suspicious.”Ramona feigned a gasp, pressing a hand to her chest drama
KadenI sat at the desk in the pack's office, flipping through reports with little interest. The usual mess of figures and documents had all but blurred together, but my mind wasn’t on the pack's business. It wasn’t on anything at all, really, except the pit in my stomach that hadn’t left since Patricia had slipped through our fingers and since i saw that cloaked Sky’s friend."Another dead end?" Ansel's voice broke through the silence, making me glance up. He was leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, his expression a mirror of my own frustration."Yeah," I muttered, tossing the report aside. "Nothing. No one’s seen her for days, and the trail’s gone cold."He gave a sharp nod. "I don’t like it. Feels like we’re being played."I rubbed my eyes, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on me. I wasn’t used to feeling like this—helpless, like I was chasing shadows. It hadn’t even crossed my mind until now, but the way Ansel had said it… we’re being played."Any luck wit
GreyPatricia has been unavailable for a few days since we went on that date, and we lost the only lead we had. Kaden refused to let me live that down, blaming me for letting her slip away and also blaming Ansel for treating her badly in the past. How were we supposed to know she was going to slip away? I did feel a good vibe from her that day, and although I felt bad for trying to use her, I believed we had reached a head way in our plan.This just confirmed she was hiding something and I was on edge trying to figure it out.The young soldiers trained hard as the assistant general, Hans, trained them while I texted Patricia for the tenth time, and still got no reply.“Fucking hell.” I grunted as I refrained from slamming my phone against the training dummy at the opposite side of the field. “At ease, Soldiers. You have ten minutes to rest. Regroup immediately after the break is over.” Hans commanded and the young soldiers bolted away, wanting to use their break well.Hans walked tow
alerie“How could you give up your powers just like that? You are the strongest being under the Moon Goddess, and you would just give that up for some witch with a vendetta? What the hell were you thinking?”Coral screeched at me the minute I got up from the spell circle, and I sighed in anger.I could feel a migraine coming on, and I knew Coral wouldn’t let this go. She was the right hand. If I lost my powers, there wouldn’t be a shrine for them.But that's nothing compared to letting that prophecy come to pass. And I do not regret my sacrifice. But one month? My spell was supposed to be strong because of their will to find me, but now I realized that was going to be a big problem. I had to trigger their memories.I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the pounding in my head as Coral’s words cut through the air, her worry mingling with her anger. She had every right to be upset, and yet I couldn’t afford to dwell on my regret or second-guess my choice.“Coral,” I said, my voice resolut
Valerie My heart thundered against my ribcage as i hurriedly left the presence of Ansel, Kaden and Grey, who stared me down as i left Skylar’s room. I could swear i saw Kaden glaring at me, which made it harder for me to make my decision. There was a way i could get us all out of this, and it may even ruin everything. But i wasn't going to give up without trying my best to have my mates back, our life back. So i left the pack with Elara, and headed back to my cottage where Coral was livid as she kept calling my line. Patricia was busy with a spell and I peeled my eyes off her, clearing my throat so that they could know i was in front of them. “Hey guys.” Coral’s eyes widened as she took me in, and she let out a sigh, which instantly turned to anger as she stormed towards me. “What the hell were you thinking, Val? Why would you leave without letting me know? I was worried sick something happened to you and Elara and Patricia couldn't locate you with a locator spell..” She took a
Ansel Grey rumbled on as Kaden chirped in reply but i couldnt concentrate as i stared at them. Only ne thing was in my mind. The cloaked stranger, Skylar’s weird friend. She was the most beautiful woman i had ever seen in reality, and ve seen, been and been inside millions of women. No one was as beautiful as she was. Maybe the baby in her hands. For some reason, i couldnt just get her out of mind, despite not being able to see her face well, but the little i saw seems to have a lasting effect. I just couldnt concentrate on anything except her soft lips, her violet eyes… I couldnt concentrate on the plan to ffind out the memory wiper when this woman plagued my mind. “Hey asshole.” Grey threw a squeezed sheet of paper at me, pulling me out of my trance. Kaden rose a brow at me, and i could see him calculate what i was thinking behind his cocky stupid brain. A smirk appeared on his face and i knew he figured it out. “The cloaked woman, wasnt truly a skank was she now? If she was, yo
Valerie Skylar pulled away, her nose red from her sniffling, and I was sure that I looked the exact same way. A giggle escaped my lips, and she rolled her eyes as I called her a crybaby, teasing her despite being one myself. She slapped my arm playfully, and at that moment, I felt like everything was the way it used to be, but it wasn’t, so I was back to reality. Skylar noticed the change in my demeanor, and she sat upright, clearing her throat. “You mentioned a solution earlier at the door. I thought the Moon Goddess wasn’t replying to you any longer? How did you get a solution?” I ran my hand through my hair. “I found a seer. Well, Coral found one. She helped me with the vision.” Skylar raised a brow. “Coral? Really? The same Coral who I don’t trust and absolutely hate found you a seer, and you’re just going to go with it?” Skylar hated Coral the minute I built a temple for the Moon Goddess and she was assigned to me. I always felt it was a rivalry thing, and till now, I haven't
