Valerian's POVI am known to be ruthless.I am known to be a devil.Both by humans and vampires.I am often labeled as cold.As stern.As hard.I've lived hundreds of years in this lifetime and I already came to terms with that, that even I, myself believed that I am. I had to.But, upon hearing my sister's voicemails to me, I felt weak. Upon hearing that Natasha was crying and that my sister is also in danger in the middle of nowhere, I once again hated being immortal because the pain and worry that I feel felt like it could kill me but I could not be killed and it's the fucking worst. It's hell."Drive faster, Ezra," I ordered Ezra and he did so.I could see him gripping the steering wheel tightly as he drove my car, almost wanting to make it fly."Tell me what happened to Elyse, Valerian." He gritted his teeth.I fell silent.I had outlived my parents years ago. I saw my friends die. But there's nothing like the pain of losing my sister.I breathed sharply as memories of me and Ely
Third-Person Point of ViewAcanthus and his pack prepared everything— from weapons to their skills and strength— before they fled their town to go to war.Acanthus had prepared his whole pack for years and years, getting them ready to get his revenge on his mortal enemy, vampires— the Fenrir's specifically. And now he is ready.Acanthus firmly believes that he has the upper hand upon seeing how devastated Valerian Fenrir looked earlier staring at his daughter, Natasha.He believed that he could surely use that to win and kill Valerian Fenrir.When Acanthus sent his daughter to the city to kill Valerian Fenrir, he was overly confident that Natasha could kill Valerian because he trained her starting from the day that Natasha learned how to walk and he's also aware of Natasha's skills and strength but Acanthus was more than disappointed when instead of killing Valerian, Natasha fell in love with him. He thought that he had already done everything for them to stop being mates.And so he h
Third-Person Point of ViewAs the sun started to rise, more damage from the fight became visible.The fight may have already stopped but the damage it has left from the hearts of the ones that survived can never be forgotten."Valerian!" Victorio yelled at Valerian upon seeing him with Natasha on his arm.Victorio's heart hammered inside his chest as he quickly ran in their direction."Is she okay? What happened to her?" Victorio quickly asked as he kneeled down in front of Valerian who was sitting on the floor."She's fine, she just passed out," Valerian answered. "How about you? Are you alright?" he asked when he saw the blood scattered all around Victorio's clothes and face.Victorio nodded. "Ezra is fine too, I kept him safe.""Thank you," Valerian thanked Victorio.Valerian feels so bad for Ezra. He knows he's been hurting so much from losing Elyse as he is too. They share the same pain so he understands Ezra with all his heart."It's done," Victorio whispered upon seeing Acanthu
Natasha's POV5 years later. . ."Don't be scared. There's nothing to be scared of riding an airplane. You wouldn't even know we're up in the sky.""But, that's scary, Daddy!"I frowned as I glared at Valerian.I remember him telling me those exact words 5 years ago and me getting even more scared of the plane ride."Come here, baby. Mommy will hold you so you will not be scared anymore," I said as I grabbed my daughter from her father.My daughter pursed her lips. "But, I'm really scared, Mommy.""I know, I know, baby. But I'm here, Daddy is here too, we will protect you," I reassured her as I hugged her small body, fragile body."Darling, I think we should not force her, I can drive us to the place," Valerian chimed in.I shook my head. "The car drive will take over 10 hours, she will have a hard time."But, we should not force her, love," Valerian reasoned out."We are not forcing her, we're teaching her to be brave." I turned to my daughter. "Right, baby? You want to be brave, rig
Natasha's POV"I'm going to miss you!" Sayna, one of my friends in the pack said as she clung to my arms.I held her hand. "I know, me too."I'm going to miss everything here in this town. From the people up to the beautiful sunset and sunrise, my favorite."Promise me you're going to be careful there, okay?" she said, as if asking for assurance. She had already told me to be careful once I got there for the nth time already, but instead of getting annoyed with her for repeatedly reminding me that, I chose to understand.I know Sayna. She's the sweetest among all my friends and she's always looking out for us.I quickly nodded at her. "Of course, I promise I will. And, I'm sure I'll be back, so you should not worry too much."She heaved a sigh. "Why can't we come with you? Why can't I come with you?"I laughed lowly at her words. Sayna's been nagging about coming with me ever since she found out about me leaving the town to go to the city to do something."I want to explore the city t
Natasha's POV"Good evening, madame."I smiled at the man who greeted me. "Good evening," I greeted him back."Your invitation please." He offered his palm, waiting for me to give him the invitation that he was asking.I repeatedly cursed inside my head.I don't have any invitation because I'm not invited to this party. It's my first time being at this kind of event in my entire life and I have no idea that this is how it works. All I know is that I need to wear a long sexy dress that exposes half of the skin on my body and a red mask that covers half of my face, and I'm glad I did that, but the invitation. . .I smiled at the man in front of me. He's a big man and looks scary, but at the same time has a gentle aura and smiles back at me.I removed my mask so I could look at him and he could see my eyes clearly."You are very beautiful, madame," he said.I smiled at his words genuinely because I truly feel beautiful right now. I am wearing make-up-- a thing that I haven't done in my l
Natasha's POV"Tell me, Natasha." He stares deep into my eyes. He then smiled mischievously. "What is your secret?"Sh*t.I was taken aback by his words but I quickly put on a smiley face and think of anything to say.Why is he asking me that kind of question?"Am I that obvious?" I chuckled. "Well, maybe I am."The corner of his lips rose and formed into a smirk but he didn't say anything."I was admiring you from afar for a long time now," I added which is half the truth.I just have no idea what he looks like but I know him too much.I knew him ever since I was a little because my father would always tell me things about him and how cruel he is. And, ever since I was a kid, a responsibility fell upon my shoulder and that is to kill him."How is that I only saw you tonight?" he asked.The sound of his voice always sent shivers down my spine but I tried so hard to compose myself and never lose focus."Well, maybe I'm good at hiding," I answered smiling at him.When I left my town and

Natasha's POVWe have arrived at our town after hours of driving.It's been months since I've been here, it has been months since I last saw my parents, it has been months since the last time I was here, and in those times, Sayna was still alive.I thought it would be nostalgic being in here again but it does not feel like it. It feels different, it feels strange. And I know because my comfort is not here anymore.I thought of the city, of the people in there, of Elyse, of Valerian. . .Valerian. . .Hurt is an understatement to describe the pain that I'm feeling in my heart right now.I lost the most important person in my life and it feels like I'm going to lose someone that had become important to me, too.It hurts.It hurts so much I don't have any words to describe what I'm feeling.The heaviness that I felt in my heart was so hard to contain that my eyes would not stop tearing up.I lost Sayna.I lost Sayna and the reason for that loss is the man that I love.Is the man that I l
Natasha's POVThe sun was already rising when we got home.It was a long flight but Valerian and I were fully rested because of how comfortable the insides of his private jet were.I got scared again when we got on the plane but Valerian never let go of my hand and never stopped reassuring me that everything would be okay and that I had nothing to be scared of.I was scared for the first couple of minutes when the plane took off but I eventually got comfortable beside Valerian and the next thing I knew, I was not scared anymore. It was like, I was not even scared of the plane ever.I was able to face my fear of the plane and I'm hoping that the fear of being home again and going back to reality of my life with Valerian will go away.As soon as we were set at home, Valerian immediately told me that he had to go to his office. He asked me if I wanted to go with him but I refused because I knew he had a lot of work to do and I didn't want to get on his way."Drive safe," I told him as I
Natasha's POVI took a deep breath as I stared at the ceiling.Valerian is lying down beside me and he is quiet.We have both been quiet since we got back to our villa from the restaurant.He managed to calm me down and stopped me from crying earlier at the restaurant by promising me a lot of things like he would fix everything for me and I believe him. I genuinely believed that he would do that.I started to trust Valerian unknowingly and I'm glad that I do.We had a quiet and peaceful dinner and when we got to our villa, no one said anything.I was quiet so was Valerian.A lot of thoughts running through my head and Valerian seemed like he was thinking deeply about something too."How are you feeling?" he suddenly asked beside me."Good," I answered. My voice came out hoarse because of all the crying that I had done earlier.Embarrassment started to form in me upon realizing what I had done earlier.I refused to believe that I broke down in front of him and it was even in public but
Natasha's POVThe sail from Athens to Santorini was approximately 4 hours but it became 6 because of all the miracles that Valerian and I did in the middle of the ocean.I can't believe that we even did it outside on the deck!When Valerian finally told me that we were going to Santorini, I got so excited that I just gave in to him and did whatever he wanted us to do and now I'm rethinking my decision because I feel kind of uncomfortable right in the middle of my thighs."Are you okay, darling?" Valerian asked. "Does your feet hurt?""Yeah, I'm okay," I just answered as I did my best to walk properly without limping towards the bed.I sighed loudly when I finally reached the bed and finally laid down."What happened?" Valerian asked as he sat down beside me on the bed."You happened," I replied.We're at the Villa house that Valerian got for us here at a resort in Santorini. I wanted to explore the place even the whole villa but I really felt uncomfortable in between my thighs that I
