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
GREY“Fuck!” I held my back, trying to figure out where the claws came from.All of a sudden a huge figure bounced on me. It was a really big wolf.I fought it with everything in me including my pain. I almost had it when another came from behind, tearing me again in this same party as earlier.I fell to the floor with blood gushing out of my back and my face.The wolf made me stand, he growled. He gave me a huge punch in the face, breaking my nose.I staggered, almost falling but was caught by another wolf.But he didn't catch me because he cared. The wolf in front of me came forward and gave me multiple punches on my stomach.“Hmm!” I growled falling to the ground.I couldn't beat them, they were huge and a lot more were coming out of the mountain surrounding the path.I looked around, no one seems to have white hair.I really hope Octavia hasn't lied to us or taken us through the wrong place.Another blow landed on my face, breaking my jaw. I cried out in pain and I heard the soun
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
