GREYI delivered another punch to the dummy head, and if it was human or a wolf, it would have been long dead by now because of the force I was hitting the head with.I was supposed to be torturing that useless beta in the cell underground for hurting my mate, but after seeing what I saw at the border just an hour ago, I feared that I would kill him if I saw him.my head whirled with thoughts and contemplations.who dared to kill my most trusted men? my friends?A grunt tore from my lips as I kicked the dummy head, causing it to snap back.who dares to cut off all their heads in my pack, yo show they are more powerful than I was?Another anger filled grunt left my lips as the dummy snapped back.Those guards weren't just guards, or my men. They were my friends. I knew their mates.A grunt left my lips one more time, but this time the head of the dummy flew off, exposing the white stuffing, but instead of the stuffing I could only see red line the blood that flowed from the bodies of m
VALERIE"Lingerie shopping? Really?" I rolled my eyes as Skylar pulled me out of the house.I did care about the fact that this almost stranger was taking me out to get revelaing clothes for me to wear because of her cousins, but I was more scared of her cousins finding out that I left the house.yes, I wanted to rebel, but they were scary men. And they hated being defied, and that was what I was doing.a part of me was excited to see what they would do, but another part of me, the sensible part, wanted me to return back to my room and obey."Of course, Lingerie shopping. You are too sexy not to own at least a pair or ten." She smiled at me as we walked to the exit.Before we exited the large door I only passed through when they stile me from my life, two burly men stood at the entrance and blocked us with spears crossing in front of the door and stopping us from exiting."We can't allow you to pass." The first one echoed, glaring at us.Skylar's eyes burned with anger as she glared b
VALERIE Renee and Skylar both got up and advanced towards me."wait wait wait, what do you guys plan to do to me? is this also part of the shopping?" I asked, worry lacing through my words.Renee laughed. "No honey, this is no more just shopping. It's a makeover."Skylar nodded excitedly while I sat there trying to digest everything. I had never experienced a makeover before. I never had enough friends to do it for me, but I had always longed for it since I was a little teen, and Fiona and her friends used to do it every party night."Okay," I smiled, "Let's do it."Renee clapped excitedly while Skylar smiled knowingly. "Great choice. I can't wait to see the boys' reaction when they see you can even be more beautiful than they thought."For the next hours, I went through thorough cleaning. Turns out a makeover means a pedicure, manicure, waxing, and even exfoliating, but after each procedure, I was left feeling even more beautiful than before. We finished those, and then it was time
Valerie The whole tunnel as we drove down to the location of the club Skylar said little to nothing about buzzed with unspoken tension and music so loud and deep, but still soothing.As we came out to the building, my eyes landed on the fleet of cars parked and the people who wore expensive yet seductive clothing. one thing I immediately noticed was that every single person here was powerful.in fact, too powerful. No one was less than an Alpha pr a Luna here, and apart from being powerful, they were loaded and dripping with wealth.It was an exclusive club, and I feared deep down I would be weeded out and thrown out by the big guards who stood at the entrance and scanning the people's cards."Let's go have some fun! Woo!" Skylar screamed, and she took out an alcohol flask and took a shot of it. "Do you want some booze before we get in?"I shook my head, my thoughts bothering me. "No thanks, I'm more worried about them." I pointed to the bouncers, and Skylar gave a sound."Pfft. Thos
Valerie The next two drinks buzzed in my brain as the song boomed from the speakers, and I moved my body to the sound of the music.The woman had stopped dancing now, and it was a show of lesbians touching themselves, but I wasn't interested in watching that.I wanted to dance, to forget who I was and what my life had become since the minute I was abandoned in front of Mr Hill's House. I could feel eyes on me, and they consumed me all over , and I smiled to myself.I loved the excitement, I love being free."Do you want to check out the special areas? you could learn more about yourself from them." Skylar's voice purred in my voice, and I laughed."Sure, why not?" I giggled, and she led me to the back, where a bouncer stood."Alpha Skylar." Skylar announced. and the bouncer parted and allowed us in without hesitation. The corridor was dark and quiet, unlike the other room, and if my head wasn't fuzzy, I would have panicked if I wasn't drunk yet."Stay close to me at all times, okay
Valerie The feel of their presence behind me as the moans from the performers echoed through the room caused my body to he even more alert, and the fear in Logan the pervert's eyes had my head pounding with pride at the fear they managed to cause an Alpha who was proud jut few seconds ago."I will be taking me leave now," Alpha Logan managed a small bow before going back to the show, but Ansel held him before he could, dragging him back to our front."Wrong direction. Out the door, dick head." He growled, pushing Logan towards the door, and he almost stumbled and fell on his way out before arranging his suit and muttering a series of curses under his breath.I watched him stumble away before being completely aware of the presence of the men behind me and the anger radiating from each and every one of them."And would you mind turning towards us and begun explaining why you are out here without any of our permission?"Kaden's breath fanned my neck, and I swallowed, my hands sweaty as
GRAYThe feeling of breathtaking women's hands on a hot blooded male's body, especially an alpha like me, was enough to get a man fighting for his life after rounds of mind blowing orgams, but tonight it wasn't working for me as I sat in the dimly lit corner of the Seductress, trying to get off steam while my brothers just took shots.I peeled them off my body, not caring about their whines and protests as I zipped up and stormed to where my brother's sat, watching the dancing woman on stage.Ansel sipped his drink, his eyes on the woman but not focusing. He has been silent since our last conversation, and despite the fact that I was right, I shouldn't have said those words to him.it wasn't his fault that experience damaged us. I watched Kaden clean the rim of his glass with his special handkerchief. it wasn't any of our faults.As I reached where they sat, Ansel sighed and placed the cup down. "This place is such a bore today. I can think of a million other things I can do that w
Thirty eightVALERIE The cool air of the night hit my skin as we stepped out of the club, and I shivered as they carried me to the car.They were quiet, but ive come to understand that that was when they were the most deadly, and tried to think of anything except how dead I would soon be, and the feel of Kaden's muscular arm on my waist as he carried me over his shoulder.We got to the car and I was dropped abruptly, vefore the door was flung open and a very quiet yet angry kaden commanded, "Get in."I swallowed, folding my hands. "No. I'm not done with the club."The whole air floated with tension as the three of them stared at me in a manner that was enough to make every other person to run for the hills but not me.Because they are smart, I am not. A growl left Kaden's lips and his hand shot out, hitting the spot of the car just beside my head, and he took steps forwards so my back was pressed onto the cold metal of the car and his body was slightly pressed onto mine.His dark an
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
Valerie“Ansel, leave us.” Were the first words Syklar uttered as her gaze pierced through mine, and i gave her a shaky smile, clutching Elara closer to my chest as if she could protect me from Skylar’s wrath the minute Ansel left. He glanced between Skylar and i before shooting Skylar an irritated gaze.“No thank you for helping your friend in? I get that you hate us right now, but thats a bit harsh.”Skylar folded her hands across her chest as she glared at Ansel. “The only magic word you will get if you dont leave now would be sorry.”Ansel scoffed, and glanced at me one last time, before turning, walking down the hall and away from me, causing my ache and emptiness to return as he walked farther and farther away.But that was rerplaced by fear as Skylar yanked my hand and dragged me into her room in anger.She shut the door loudly, and glared at me so hard i feared i may ignite under the heat of her glare. “Start talking.” She commanded and i sighed.“I missed you so much Skylar.”
