Synopsis

In a world of magic, monsters and lurking beasts. The brutal royals of the North have maintained rule for hundreds of years. But a darkness has stirred, the Royals have since been defeated and a new ruler takes their stead. When the recently crowned king makes his presence known by proclaiming Valerie his betrothed. Who is she to oppose him? At a time when creatures of the night cower at their very shadows, nothing is as it appears. The dead soon become the living and it is only a matter of time before chaos unfolds. Valerie, an optimistic young wolf, has a secret. She is The White Wolf carrying the burden of prophecy. When her twin sister Vivian is taken prisoner of the King as leverage to accept the proposal, Valerie will stop at nothing to save her. Once in the castle Valerie has a plan, a dangerous one at that. The only issue is when your heart's on the line nothing really goes to plan.

Chapter 1

The Beginning

If I had learned anything from my father it was that family was above all else. No matter the situation it is your honour to protect and cherish your blood. As a packwolf that responsibility falls to the rest of the pack. The pack is your family. The pack is your home. Until of course rumours spread and soon you are in the doghouse.

And that brings me here. Alpha Woods’ office. Having his penetrating gaze critiquing me and probably debating whether to suspend my privileges or stick me on night patrol for the month.

I hadn't don't anything. I simply existed. Which of course meant the odd comment about my training for the Beta position to turn sour in my packmates minds. I had dismissed the odd rude comment but what that male Warrior said was by far out of line. He mocked my father who had died defending the border from vampires. It was an honorable death and not one to be mocked.

Alpha Woods exhaled leaning back in his chair, “Why must you press this issue?”

I bristled biting my tongue preventing myself from saying something I would regret. “He insulted my blood.”

“So you decided to publicly humiliate him by beating the daylights out of him?” He raised a brow crossing his arms.

I rolled my eyes, I did not publicly humiliate him. I just beat him in combat in front of the entire pack. I guess he was a sore loser. I may of been a tad harsh with my fists though. “He disrespected my blood and mocked me. That gives me full right to kill him. He should be thanking me for sparing his life and teaching him his place in the pack.”

Alpha smiled, “I would of killed him.”

“If he does it again I won't hold back.”

“I know.” He stood stretching, “I still need to give you some form of punishment. I don’t tolerate unnecessary violence, you know this.”

I bowed my head looking to my lap “Yes, Alpha.”

“That is why you and your sister will be guarding Kayla at the mating ball tonight.”

Kayla was his daughter. The future Alpha of the pack and in no way, shape, or form needed protecting. Kayla could protect herself just fine. I leapt from my chair clenching my fists, “That isn't fair! Vivian had no part in this.”

He opened the door motioning my dismissal, “If you do well I will appoint you both Beta tomorrow morning.”

I left seething as I stalked down the hall of the Packhouse searching for my twins room. We had lived at the Packhouse since our father was killed, one of the many things we had to thank our Alpha for. Vivian would be far from happy, she had been looking forward to attending our first mating ball and finding herself a mate. This would crush her.

Reaching her room I barged in slamming it shut. Vivian was surrounded by a pile of dresses caught between red or blue. She let out a short yelp at my entrance her sharp emerald eyes zeroed in on me. “What in goddesses name are you doing!”

“Don't bother with a dress. We’re not going.” I uttered leaning on the door huffing in frustration.

Vivian gaped at me in disbelief, “This is our first chance to attend, I’m going.”

I shot her a look the temperature dropping. “Alpha promises to grant us the Beta position if we do well tonight.”

Vivian rolled her eyes scrunching up her face, “It’s always about that bloody position to you isn't it? Why? It’s just a title!”

I closed my eyes counting to ten, “Father was the Beta. A great one at that. But he has joined the stars Viv, the pack needs to move on. I need to move on. It is in our right as his blood to be first in line.”

“Father wouldn't want you to do this out of blood honour.” She started picking at the dresses placing them back in the closet. “We are powerful, more powerful than we can even imagine. As a Beta we would be in the spotlight. Wolves would watch our every move, they would find out about us.”

She was right. Our packmates were already attempting to sabotage our chances of achieving the position. Like vultures they were constantly waiting for a flaw or secret to pop up where they would then latch on for dear life. “Nobody suspects.” I murmured.

She snapped her head to me, “We are different. I can summon flippin' flames from mere thought! For crying out loud, you can summon ice and freeze over the entire town! We aren't children anymore we need to leave before we are discovered.”

“Alpha wouldn't harm us.”

“Really?” She exclaimed flames sparking in her irises, “He loves our strength, can you imagine what he could use us for? What he could have us do? He could use us as weapons to conquer other packs or worse. He could use us to make offspring for more gifted wolves.” She spat the words venomously.

I averted my gaze, she had a fair point. “Father wouldn't of wanted us to run.”

“Valerie, father is dead. He did not even know of our powers!”

My heart pricked at the memory. He was on patrol when the neighboring clan of vampires attacked. He was one of many who had not survived along with a handful of our good warriors. I took it upon myself and hunted each vampire down skinning them alive out of spite. I doubt they would return for a while. It wasn't pretty, but it was satisfying.

“Just this once. After the ball if you still wish to leave I will join you.” I ran a hand through my blonde hair in exasperation.

Vivian huffed giving me a once over, “Fine. I don’t care if we are guarding Kayla, you are not attending like that.” She took in my boots and leather fighting attire dragging me to her closet.

This would take awhile...

Ball
We were ready. The ball would start when daylight faded and twilight emerged. I peered in the mirror my ice blue eyes were alert and ready for trouble my hair ribboned down my back resting at my waist. Tonight would be my last in the pack. Vivian was slipping on cleanly polished boots before double checking her silver moon necklace around her neck. Out of habit I played with my own matching necklace my fingers looping around the intricate chain. Matching. A gift from our mother.“Well let’s do the best job we can and then skedaddle.” Vivian joked running a brush through her hair once more.I shrugged suddenly realizing I needed to do something tonight. I would have to find Jacob. He was my... Lover? I guess... that would be the term. He would be at the ball meaning I’d have to seek him out and end it. If he found his mate I was not going to be in the way, besides I was leaving at dawn.“Val, let’s go!” Vivian broke my thoughts jumping up and down in excitement.I gave her a smile, “Le

To Much Troubles
After the crying fit in the bathroom we had cleaned ourselves up looking presentable once more. Before quietly slinking back to our post. My fear was to be caught slacking on my job here tonight. Something that just wouldn't do. I felt slightly better about the whole situation now that we had discussed it. “I wish they had told me.” I spoke softly to Vivian.Seeing her nod her head in response.I went back to observing the room when my eyes locked on a figure dressed in black. My best guess a male. He ducked his head down before turning away. He wandered about not seemingly too interested in anything. Or anyone for that matter. Strange. Most people were always at the Mating Ball for something.He had neatly trimmed black hair. Definitely pale. Paler than normal anyway. I tried to catch his scent but it seemed to have vanished.“Who are you looking at?” Vivian leaned towards me. “Some guy catch your attention?” She quizzed, “I am impressed, who is it?” She said slowly slipping her eyes

Looming Shadows
Darting towards Kayla I stepped in front of her in a defensive stance. Willing my necklace out into dagger form, I quickly slashed out at the nearing Shadows. The dagger passed right through even though it was a blow to the chest. Impossible!I guess the Shadow dude altered his Shadows a bit. As Vivian was now struggling with her blade as well. The Shadow seeing my hesitation quickly lunged talons ready to slice me to ribbons..I ducked sending my dagger back into necklace form. Our blades were pointless when facing a creature like this. Kayla was still in the corner crying which sparked irritation in me. I understand her father died and all but come on, I’m facing off with two of these Shadow creatures over here. While she is going into shock.The second Shadow lunged at Kayla while I dodged another blow twitching my finger ever so slightly. A wall of ice now separated Kayla from the Shadow. In doing so it also separating her from me.“Kayla get out of here!” I hollered over the Shad

Protection
-Justin-We had no real reason to crash this party besides the fact that Eric was bored. He claimed that he was in need of more souls to turn into shadow creatures. But honestly he was bored and wanted to drag me from my much needed rest.Eric taunted the girl as she sassed back. I forced my expression to be bored as he toyed with the twins for awhile longer. No matter how my feet itched to intervene, I stopped myself. As one of the girls revealed magic. I smirked to myself, This could get interesting…I watched the girl banter with Eric a bit more as he assessed her. He seemed to enjoy the fight even more with her cold exterior. More wraiths appeared and I tensed, Eric was a Shadow weaver meaning he had control over them, supposedly. Eric could weave and manipulate shadows to travel and even capture dead souls and turn them into wraiths. Yet wraiths were still somewhat feral creatures. They had talons which could slice through bone if given the chance. Not how I wished to spend my ti

Surprise
Guess what? I am updating again! Shocker I know, anyway I hope you enjoy as Valerie continues on. Today I had a substitute teacher in class they started every conversation with "And my good people..." Swear to god I was cracking up in the corner by the end of it. That was probably the most interesting thing of my day. Please like and comment or even add to your library if you haven't already! It really helps motivate me to continue.Read on my Loves!_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________To say I was surprised was an understatement. A wide training room spread before me. Targets lined one wall, training dummies on the other. An array of weapons were on display glinting in the sun on a wall polished so cleanly I could see my reflection. What surprised me most of all was the ceiling. Glass. Entirely glass, so clear it appeared as though it wasn't even there.I couldn't help

Authority and Wealth
It has come to my attention that I hate castles. I remember as a kid, wishing to live a life of luxury. Being a princess like in the pack stories which were passed around. I now realize that royal families with twins always end with blood being spilled or horrors in their wake. I decided to let that dream crumble.Yes, I wanted authority and wealth. Who wouldn't? All I knew was that I was content to have Vivian by my side. Knowing that nothing could ever come between us.That was until I arrived here. Vivian was alive. At least for now anyway. Having no idea where she was currently located was an issue. More importantly where we were was less than comforting. Justin navigated me through the winding halls which made my sense of direction and chance of escape seem pointless. So far I could sum the castle up into three words; dark, mysterious, and terrifying.This was not the typical stone castle. Oh no, the castle was made of obsidian blocks. A rare, heavy, durable rock which can only be

Powerful charm
,_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A warm bath was drawn. Emma soon came beckoning me in.“How did you wind up here anyway?” I asked carefully.I swear her eyes shadowed but she replied, “I'm like you in many ways.”“Oh.”Emma nodded, “Now strip. I have a time limit to have you by Eric's standards.”My ears turned pink “What! Look by his standards? That is not happening!” I spluttered in embarrassment.“Oh my lord.” Emma rolled her eyes “We are all ladies, now get in the bath.” She said sternly putting her hands on her hips.I gulped, “Okay, okay.” I quickly threw my clothes off and leaped in the tub.Emma huffed in amusement quickly folding my discarded clothes. “Don't worry I have another outfit which should arrive shortly.” She spoke in a monotone voice not looking pleased.I closed my eyes as the steaming water rolled over me calming my nerves.“Here.” Emma handed

Throne room
I skipped breakfast. Soon having second thoughts on the matter. My stomach was turning in knots, from fear or hunger I couldn't tell. I wouldn't be surprised if it was both.Emma had been lecturing me about bad eating habits all morning. In hopes to lure me to the dining room. I hadn't told her what Damion had tried to do. It didn't concern her and she didn't need to know, all she would do is worry more. And her worrying would lead me to worry. Luckily by morning my wrist had healed and was back to normal.“You know what? If you want to starve fine!” Emma snapped crossing her arms. “Don't come whining to me about it.” She sniffed turning to the window watching the pine trees sway in the wind, the tiny needles fluttered past the window as snow fell lightly.“You do know that I’m older than you right?” I pointed out holding in a laugh.“Val you won't even tell me what happened at dinner.” She drew in a deep breath to calm herself. The flowerpot on the table suddenly burst to life with a

Conversation
“Sit.” Eric pointed to a table tucked in the far back away from the bustling of people.I gulped sitting down. Silently watching Eric talk to the staff. He sat down at the table and immediately a waitress dropped off a bottle of wine. She gave Eric a once over smiling seductively before backing off to attend other tables.“Has Emma and Justin been good to you?” Eric asked, eyes skimming the menu.“Yes.” I said not making eye contact. Keep it simple, remember manners and good behavior, the opposite of how I usually behaved. These were Vivian’s tips for dinners, dates and douches.“What are you ordering Love?”I hadn't read the menu not feeling hungry. “Pasta. Surprise me.” I replied while my eyes wandering around the tavern.Eric raised a questioning glance at me. He leaned over pouring wine. “You seem tense.”No really. I'm alone with the king and I have no idea why. I kept my mouth shut and didn't an
