AnselAs I walked away from Valerie and my nosy cousin, a stirring occurred in my chest, one that gas been happening way too often when I was around her. It wasn't a coincidence. She was causing it, but I didn't like it.This just deepens my need to get rid of her. without my brothers knowledge, of course. Neither of them wanted to let go. They claim to hate her, but only i know the signs because I have felt love once. At least, what seemed like love. I was fifteen and weak. A phase in my life I would fight heaven, and he'll make sure stays buried forever.She caused Ansel to die. This Ansel would never let another woman come close to hurting him.She would be gone before she knew it, and that was what would happen to Valerie.Oh no, I wouldn't kill her if I don't need to. she was connected to our destinies.But i would make sure we never see her again.Before she ruins my brothers and I. kaden didn't notice. He was obsessive. That was his flaw. He hyperfixates, then becomes obsessed
VALERIE"Are you telling me you do not have a single lingerie here? wait, do you even know how a lingerie looks?"Skyler, my self-proclaimed best friend who I just met a few minutes ago, yelled as she destroyed my closet, making it resemble the aftermath of an elephant stampede in the jungle.I rolled my eyes as I snacked on some cookies I found in my cupboard. she was such a drama queen. What the fuck woykd I need lingerie for? I had no love interest, and I'm so not dressing up in that way for her stupid cousins to see.If they wanted to see a half-naked woman juts for therm, I'm sure Fiona woykd be happy enough to give them a show."Stop ignoring me, you." She threw a shoe at me, but I expertly dodged, years of things been thrown at me have finally come in handy.She peeled herself from the floor where she sat in the closet, and ran towards me with so much speed, making sure I couldn't avoid her as she crashed into me like a sea diver."ughh, what do you want?" I groaned as I attem
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
RamonaAfter Coral stalked away with a cold unreadable expression on her face after we had argued and I was left standing there confused. I didn’t understand why she looked at me like that. Like she was hurt that I had gone against her and she wanted to hurt me and draw my blood. I didn’t mean to go against her but, her saying I should stop my marriage to Grey was unbelievable. She knew this was what I had wanted for a very long time. I wouldn’t just throw all of it away because I wanted to please. Because Skylar had disappeared. We were in power now- in control, no one was going to win against us and I was sure we would find Skylar in no time. So, I didn’t know what the fuss was about. I dismissed everyone and stormed back to my room, not waiting for Grey to follow me. If he was really under my control, he would know what to do. Getting to my room, I slammed the door shut behind me. The sound of the door closing had echoed through the room and it felt like the walls were comin
CoralThe anger I felt was like none I had ever felt in the past. It burned hot, unrelenting and through my veins as it clawed its way to my chest like a beast that hungry blood, and would do anything to get it.Skylar was gone.Gone.Vanished before my very eyes like smoke in the wind.That girl—the one I had been desperately searching for had appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant, almost like she hadn’t appeared in the hall at all, she had stolen what was mine and had disappeared with it.And now, Skylar that was once wounded, bruised, and broken was no longer in the middle of the hall where I was getting the satisfaction of watching her bleed and beg in pain. My fists curled at my sides and turned away from the crowd towards Ramona, glaring daggers at her.“This is all your fault,” I gritted out through clenched teeth, my voice dangerously low and venomous. Ramona blinked, surprised but quickly regaining herself. She let out a scoff, rolling her eyes as she waved her hand i
ValerieI smiled in my head, satisfied when I saw that Coral was now plotting against Ramona. One thing about who has a thirst for power that wasn’t theirs or people who loved making people suffer was that they didn’t trust anyone- not even theirselves. And now that Coral had asked Ramona to do something not Ramona straight up rejecting and refusing to do it, Coral mind was made up that she was going to be eventually betrayed by Ramona. But my victory was bitter because even as I savored my success, I learned something else- something that made my insides burn.Ramona was planning her engagement to Grey and the thought of it alone made me sick.Even after all she had done, after taking away his free will, after turning him into her puppet- she still wanted more.She wanted to own him completely and I wanted to scream. To fight.To burn everything to the ground before I let her take him.But I couldn’t because I was nothing.An echo. A prisoner. A ghost trapped in my own body, curs
GreyI was drowning.Not in water. Not in blood.In her.I had to put up with Ramona, be with her all the time while acting lovingly. Her presence felt suffocating, filling every part of me, twisting my thoughts, coursing through my mind and making me desire her even if I really didn’t want to. I could still feel her magic coursing through me, strong, unrelenting and taking away my willpower as she forced me to do as she wanted. My body obeyed each and every of her commands- in fact, she didn’t need to tell me to do something before I did it sometimes. The words that came out of my mouth were what she wanted to hear and my hands did as she wanted- whether it was a massage, a hug or a cuddle. And I hated it.I hated every second of this existence.Hated the way my own body betrayed me, the way I knew I was doing something monstrous but couldn’t stop myself.Most of all, I hated what I had done to them.Kaiden. Ansel. Skylar.I hated myself because I had whipped them. Over and over a
CoralI raised my hand to her mouth and held it together, cutting her off with one quick movement of my hand. She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at me like I was crazy, making me drop my hand and roll my eye in response. She pulled me close to her and wrapped her around me for a hug. I stood stiffly in her arms and wondered why she was hugging which spiked up my suspicion. I pulled away from her and eyed her with suspicion. Ramona blinked at me, her expression smug. “Why did you hold me by my mouth?” She asked in amusement. “Now, I’ve lost my train of thoughts and I can’t remember the last thing you said. Plus, you looked tense, that’s why I hugged you, maybe that would help.”“You never stop talking, do you?” I asked as I slightly bent my head to the side, studying her. She let out a small and soft laughter, it was the best sound ever and on normal days, I would have laughed along with her but now? It only made my skin crawl. “I had a vision,” I said, my voice blunt a
CoralI woke up with a gasp. My breathing was unsteady and there was as sweat all over my body, making my hair and cute cling to my body like a second skin. I opened my eyes and tried to separate the couple by things I had seen in my dream to what was in front of me. The room dark, except from the silver of moonlight that shone into the room through the curtains and the windows. I had been twisted uncomfortable while asleep that my bed was now tangled and the pillows on the floor. The blanket I had used to cover myself was all tangled up with my legs and it felt like I was being dragged to my death- a cruel death with unending torture. For a moment, I could still feel myself falling, I could still hear the cruel and malicious sound of Ramona’s laughter as she pushed me off the edge of a cliff, making me fall down to my death. My hands trembled as I curled my fingers around the sheets, gripping the mattress. I let out a small sigh as I forced myself to take slow, steadying breaths.
ScottThey chained me up inside a old and worn out barn- half the roof missing, open to the relentless glare of the sun that was beginning to rise on the horizon.And worst of all…They took my ring.The sunlight ring that I had always worn- the ring that had protected me for years was hurriedly removed from my finger and carelessly tossed aside like it was of no importance. I could already feel the intensity from the sun breaking my skin and I felt hot all over. The leader approached me- the one who had looked me in the eyes and lied to me from the very first day I had started living in their camp. She looked at me with sharp eyes and a malicious smile plastered on her face as she walked closer to me. She stared at me dead in the eyes, her voice loud and sweet but filled with undeniable venomous intent. “Did you really think you could escape and outrun us, Scott?” She asked, her tone degrading. “That’s so stupid of you.”I clenched my jaw, wanting to break free and teach her a le
ScottI knew exactly what I had to do to get away from here as quietly and quickly as possible without raising suspicion or a cause for alarm. Elara and Dennis- those two tiny souls- were in danger. Not just from Coral or Ramona but from these so called rebels who had promised freedom and revenge but, instead I had found out that they had the same hunger for power like Coral had did and I didn’t know just how much ruthless they were.I’d been a fool to trust them.They treated me decently, and for a moment, I believed- believed that maybe there was a chance for us here and I was willing to use my powers to make sure we won when we went to war. But the way I had caught them taking Elara away while she slept- while they thought I was soundly asleep, slipping her into that secret room and doing whatever it is that they wanted. How could they even have the mind to do evil things to a child? Didn’t they have a conscience? As I finalized my plan in my head, I checked on Elara again and I
ValerieI was trapped.Not behind bars, not in chains- but within my own body. A hollow shell, moving and breathing on command like a puppet dangling from invisible strings. Every movement wasn’t mine. Every breath I took belonged to someone else.But I was still here.Buried deep beneath Coral’s suffocating control, I was nothing more than a silent scream echoing in an endless void. No power. No voice. Just… emptiness.Until I felt it.A flicker.Small, barely noticeable- but there.Coral thought she had complete control, but she didn’t realize I was still lingering, like smoke refusing to clear. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t move. But I could feel… and deep within the cracks of her mind, I discovered something far more dangerous than any blade or spell.Her visions. Taking a page from her playbook. Her precious foresight- so flawless, so unbreakable- wasn’t as invincible as she believed.And if I couldn’t fight her physically, then I would break her where she was most powerful.In h
