KadenThe muscle in my temple ticked all through the early morning meeting with the executives of our pack's company, the company that brought in millions of dollars we used to survive, making us not only the strongest but most powerful pack in the kingdom.The company was my baby, the only thing that kept me afloat. But that wasn't even working as my mind couldn't stop steering back to that little pain in the neck I kept locked up in the pack.I know Grey wasn't completely pleased with the way I treated her, but she needed to learn.Also that was the only way to keep her away from my sight long enough. I may eventually have to get her her own room and wardrobe. A sigh left my lips as one executive rambled on. Ansel and Grey were supposed to be here suffering with me, but they refused. Grey hated business, so instead, he handled the affairs having to do with the security of the pack, and the training of the warriors and little wolves. He had so much anger, and also liked his things
ValerieA knock woke me up from my brief nap, which I later I later discovered wasn't up to thirty minutes. Trying not to groan, I jumped off the hard uncomfortable bed and opened the door to reveal Lily. Again. I groaned.I hated this bitch.She bowed her head lightly. "Good morning miss."I rolled my eyes at her pretence. "Why are you here, and what time is it?"She glanced at the watch on her hand, "It's eleven am, and I was sent to invite you for brunch. "my brow rose in amusement, "Oh, brunch huh? Thought big bad Alpha kaden wanted to put his foot down?""He changed his mind, miss." Lily replied, "It would be wise to honour this invitation. "My lips turned up in disgust as I glared at her. "And who are you to make these demands, Lily? I'm beginning to think you want some smoke."Lily's eyes widened a fraction, her lips parted slightly in embarrassment. "Not at all, miss Valerie. I just feel the Alphas should be treated with utmost respect for all they've done for our pack, and
Valerie For hours, I was left in my room doing nothing but thinking of what to make of my life now.Why was I here? They weren't giving me answers. They weren't giving me anything but sexual frustration and actual frustration.How long was I going to stay locked up in this ugly room with barely a window? if I was going to be stuck here, they should at least allow me to do something with my life.At this rate, I was going crazy with boredom. I may actually start communicating with mice.If I spoke to them, would they allow me to continue my search for my parents and probable get a job or something? I haven't stated this long without working, and I was losing my mind.I didn't mind helping out with official pack duties. I was slowly coming to terms with whom I was never leaving their grip unless they killed me, so why even entertain the thought?But one thing was sure, I would never submit to them. They may get me to not struggle about being under their grip, but one thing they would h
KADENI bolted out of the Dining room as fast as I could, finding it hard to breathe after what happened in the dining room.my pants tightened as my rock hard boner strained against the material, and I groaned, in need of friction from a certain Violet eyes Seductress. How could it be so easy for one person to have a hold that strong on not just me, but the three of us? I could see the primal hunger in Ansel's eyes as he drank in her presence, his eyes picking up every single movement she did.Grey who usually had little to do with women, and hardly showed his emotions and need, could barely hold himself from losing control.it wasn't a problem that my brothers wanted her too, in fact, I loved sharing with my brothers.The problem was how easy it would be for her to ruin us, thus the prophecy. We still didn't know if she was going to bring ruin, or victory. Getting attached was not an option, and at this rate, we were going to crash so bad, I doubt anyone would come out of it unha
VALERIE Fiona's heels clanked on the marble grounds as she led the way to my new room, or what she said. Hearing they made a new room for me excited me and scared me.It meant they wanted me to be more comfortable. And they cared, to an extent.it scared me, because I wanted to hate them, and this way, I wouldn't be able to.The clanking of her shoes stopped and I almost crashed into her before halting in my steps.She turned to me, disgust in her eyes. "This is your room." The first thing I noticed was that it was on the same floor as the three Alphas room, but I ignored it, squashing up the bud of excitement that grew within me.She then turned the key into the knob and pushed the door opened, and my mouth dropped wide open in awe as my breath caught in my throat.The room was beautiful, and I was in awe as I stepped in. The room was a beautiful blend of Violet and white, with white tulips in vases near the bed and the window, my best flowers in every corner of the room.The bed wa
VALERIE Josh looked livid, while Fiona looked unbothered.Joy filled me at the sight, and I wished I had popcorn."It's not that big of a deal, Josh. I never agreed to anything.""Never agreed to anything?" Josh threw his hands in the air. "We are mates! it's not supposed to be a debate!"Fiona rolled her eyes, checking the time on her watch. "Can we do this later, Honey? I have an appointment to meet.""It's nine thirty, what appointment?" Jsoh asked frustration dripping from every of his words and actions."It's just a girl thing. I'll se you later." She didn't wait for him to reply as she turned and walked away, leaving him frustrated.He let out a angry groan, and his fist landed on the wall, the sound of the wall breaking echoing through the hallway.He silently fumed as his head leaned against the wall, and I found myself feeling sorry for him.Until I remembered his betrayal, and only anger remained. He was barely getting what he deserved. Its karma. Well deserved Karma.I st
ANSELShe mumbled some words before her eyes closed, and u was left to stare at her soft features as I took her to her room.Getting her a room was a joint decision, but all the details, all the specifics I saw as I pushed the door, startled my mouth open.The room was tailored from head to toe to meet her aesthetics. from the Violet to the tulips and the softness of the atmosphere, I knew Kaden did his homework. It filled me with jealousy. Kaden seemed to know everything, and I don't because he always pays extra attention. So he's able to do things like this, despite us agreeing to get rid of her after we figure out where she belongs.Getting a tailored room was a sign of someone settling in. Worry filled me. Was Grey right about us not bringing her here? Into our everyday life? My jaw ticked as I moved my legs one after the other towards her bed. A walk-in closet. A bookshelf.My brother was getting invested. And when he got too invested, bad things happen.I gingerly placed Vale
VALERIE My chest burned as I ran, and I pushed myself to run faster so it wouldn't catch up to me. This time, it took the appearance of Josh, his teeth snarling and jaw snapping as he growled."Give me what I deserve!"Panting wildly, I weaved through the woods, my vision blurred by tears as I struggled to escape him, but he was so close, too close.."I'm going to catch you, Valerie."A scream erupted from my lips as his hand caught my hair, yanking me backwards with so much force, I felt the air knock out of my chest.His canines extended and claws trailed on my skin. "Give up, Valerie. You can't run anymore."And then he bit down on my neck, causing a gut wrenching scream to tear out of my throat. The feeling of being shaken awake brought me back to the present."Wake up Valerie. You're safe. Wake up!"A gasp left my throat as I woke up with a start, and I sprang up, pushing away from the hands on my skin."Leave me alone!" I roared, my vision blurred by tears, and my chest pumpin
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
