VALERIE Ansel and I both stared at Skylar in shock as the words left her mouth, and her eyes darted between the two of us. She rolled her eyes, folding her arms. "Oh I see what's happening here.""Cousins?" I blurted out, still trying to wrap my mind around that.My eyes darted to Ansel's, ignoring the blush that crept u to my lips as he stared at me with confusion written all over his face."She's your cousin?"I instantly felt stupid as he nodded slowly at the stupid question that left my lips, while I struggled with myself. I really thought she was his girlfriend. But they were just cousins?And what she said about-I gasped, ny hand flying to cover my mouth as my face heated on its own accord. "We aren't in laws!"Skylar roared with laughter at my out burst, while Ansel's eyes gleamed with mischief."What's so wrong with her being your in law, little wolf? Does the idea of being with us irk you that much?""Yes! You guys are pigs!"Skylar's laugher doubled, and I rolled my eyes
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
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
