Alexander Nicholas AstleyI got back from the city with the conviction I need to tell her. She is my mate, not by the agreement that we made, but because she truly is.There was this business I needed to take care of in the other country days ago, I had to leave immediately to take care of it.I mostly left the city partly because I was hurt by the fact that she willingly gave me to another woman, she does not want me the same way I want her.It made me overthink that all those special private moments we shared means nothing to her.All this silly nonsense I do around her has to stop, my wolf badly wants to claim her even if we are not sure why she doesn’t feel the same way.At first, I thought she was messing with me that she was acting like I was not her mate to play games with me, but I found out that she did not have any idea at all.Kyrie only knows that we are mates because of the agreement that I offered to her. This confuses me up until now, even Matt. We are looking for clues
Valkyrie BehatiI blinked my eyes several times, trying to clear my vision. Pain shot through my face, making my muscles twitch uncontrollably. As my surroundings slowly came into focus, a wave of realization washed over me, heightening all my senses.The last face I remembered seeing was Laine's. A wave of confusion washed over me. Did I reincarnate again? Did Giovanni manage to kill me once more? The realization hit hard, tears streaming down my cheeks.Would I ever live a life that wasn't constantly stolen from me? The cycle of death and rebirth felt like an unending nightmare. Each time, the hope of a normal life slipped further from my grasp.I clutched my chest. I realized that if I had indeed reincarnated, Alex wouldn't know about my presence now.The realization hit me harder than anything else. The idea of being completely unknown to Alex, of having no place in his world anymore, was a pain deeper than any physical wound.But he wouldn’t care, he loves somebody else. He care
Valkyrie BehatiIt didn’t take me half an hour to managed to take them all down. I don’t know exactly what happened, but there they were, lying below my feet, unmoving and bleeding.Maybe my training finally paid off? Alex's lessons were definitely something. Their movements were so much slower compared to his. That must be why it was easier than I expected.Still, it took a toll on my body. I could feel my muscles straining, aching with every breath I took.“W-What the hell did you do!” Laine screamed, her voice contained a mix of fear and confusion.I faced her before smirking, “What? You couldn’t believe I was this strong? Remember, Laine, I was once a Luna.”“And I am not letting anyone take my life away from me again.” I gritted my teeth before turning my back against her, “Take this as a warning, you don’t want the Alpha King going after you, right?”I knew, deep in the back of my mind, that I had to tell Alex about what happened. But for some reason, I didn’t want to get him in
Valkyrie BehatiSilence surrounded the whole dining room after I said those words. I bit my lower lip before breathing heavily. Why does it hurt so much?He stood up, shocked and confused. “Where is this all coming from? Why are you suddenly acting this way?”“We can’t just cut off the agreement we shared just like that, Kyrie. I need some explanations.”I clenched my fists, trying to steady myself. “You don’t need my help anymore to keep up your image, and I managed to protect myself from that group of murderers thanks to you.”“I can protect myself now. We can go our separate ways. Thank you.” I said, turning to leave, but he grabbed my wrist, stopping me.“I don’t understand. You still need to stay here to recover. You can’t leave this mansion until you’re fully healed. And I don’t want you to leave. I want you to stay with me,” he said firmly.I tried to pull away, but he held me tightly. “Let me go, Alex. I need to leave now. Pierre has already offered me private art classes.”“I
Valkyrie BehatiThe next day came by. Pau managed to calm me down that night and I was able to sleep, Alex did not come to bid me good night.I guess he was preoccupied with whatever his beta aligned with him. I was still over the moon, I know I should’ve said something last night.But I was just so overwhelmed with his confessions, how can I tell him that I fell for him despite not having this bond connection with him?“You’re smiling ear to ear again.” I heard Pau say, chuckling while she was getting me some glass of water.I pouted, feeling my cheeks warming up. “Sorry, I am causing you so much trouble for looking after me in a state like this, I-I just couldn’t help it.”Pau shook her head, “I wanted to tell you last night that I was so worried about you, but I didn’t want to cut off your train of thoughts about the Alpha.”I flinched with her statement, causing her to burst into laughter, “You’re too easy to read, Luna. But I am glad you are alright.”“I am not yet your Luna, Pau
Valkyrie BehatiAs I stepped into the dining hall, the aroma of delicious food made my stomach rumble. I was embarrassed, but I didn’t care anymore.The table was filled with an array of mouthwatering dishes. Alex filled my plate without me asking, insisting I needed to eat it all to get better quickly.He gave me space for me to eat my meal while I was dying to know what he did yesterday and today. “Sorry it took me so long to come to check on you again, it was hard to go back when we feel like we are getting closer to what almost took you away from me.” he started.I stopped eating before putting down my fork, “You got closer? What leads did you find?” I worriedly asked.It would be easy for them to know who was behind all those if I said something, but I don’t know what Giovanni is exactly planning.I have to be extra cautious with my movements. He already started his moves, I had to make sure no one I cared about would get involved.The last thing I need is someone dying because
Valkyrie BehatiI shivered as his intense gaze bore into me, it was like he wanted to consume every inch of my being. His eyes, shifting from silver to black, flickered with desire.“May I touch you before I mark you?” Alex's voice quivered with a mix of longing and uncertainty.I nodded immediately, feeling excited as he peeled off his shirt. His hands trembled as they hovered near the hem of my shirt as if he was eager to explore and caress.It seemed like he used my eyes as a signal to remove my top, leaving me half-naked before him. I thought he was going to remove my bra, but instead, he caressed it from the outside, making me groan in desire.“A-Alex,” I whimpered softly, his hands continued to caress that sensitive part gently. The sensation was overwhelming, making me shiver in desire.He moved slowly, his fingers almost brushing against my skin as he began to remove the undergarment that covered them. Every movement was slow and deliberate, to the point that it drove me insan
Valkyrie BehatiNo one answered my question so I shook my head in disappointment, “Wow, did you guys not hear anything?” “Laine?” I called before shifting my gaze towards her. She seemed startled, but clenched her fists as she shook her head.My eyes darted towards her arms and I saw a huge bruise there. She covered it immediately when she realized I was looking.I made sure not to make her feel more uncomfortable as I turned to Giovanni, who focused his gaze on my neck.His expressions are unreadable, but I am sure he is unhappy that Laine failed her task. He hurt her, does he always do that?I shook my head. I have no place to care about her after what she has done. “E-Excuse me, I need to go do some errands. I’ll see you at home, Van.” Laine almost stammered without looking at anyone before she exited the office. She looked like she was about to burst into tears.Just what the hell are they all doing here? I was expecting Laine to stay away for a while after what had happened.I
Three years had slipped away, and sometimes it felt like time had passed in the blink of an eye. Other days, it felt like a lifetime ago. It still amazes me that I somehow managed to escape the cycle of death that once seemed so inevitable. There were moments I had been sure I wouldn’t survive, and yet, I was, standing on the other side, a different person but still whole.I hadn’t heard from Giovanni since everything had ended, despite asking Alex about him more times than I could count. Alex, and even the others, seemed determined to keep the truth from me, perhaps to protect me from any lingering darkness. But I could feel it, deep down—I knew Giovanni had faced the consequences for his actions. Whatever fate had met him, it was just. The silence only confirmed what I already suspected: his suffering had been immense.The cure for the rogues and vampires still hadn’t been found. Some of them, the ones who had been captured, perished in their cells over time. The food they were g
Valkyrie BehatiAfter a long and exhausting week, the city was finally beginning to recover. The damage that had shaken everyone was slowly being repaired, and the streets, once filled with chaos, were now finding their rhythm again. People were astonished when the story of the attack hit the media. It was all over the news—how Giovanni had plotted to take control of the city, how the vampires and rogues had unleashed terror, and, most unexpectedly, how I had stepped in to stop him. The fact that I, carrying Alex’s heir, had been there in the heart of the battle left many speechless. Some called it reckless, while others found it admirable.Even now, as the city heals, I can barely wrap my mind around the fact that it’s truly over. Giovanni’s dark plans have been shattered, and the city is safe—for now. But there’s a sadness that hangs heavy over us all. We lost some of our own, members of the pack who fought bravely to protect us. The losses weigh on me, a reminder that victory o
Valkyrie BehatiHis words sent a shiver down my spine, paralyzing me in his grip. My mind raced, desperately searching for any possible escape from this nightmare, but nothing came to me. I was trapped in his arms, and the weight of his presence felt suffocating.“Love me?” I echoed, my voice trembling with disbelief and anger. “Please, you thought about killing me just because you couldn’t have me. You’re insane.” My hands pressed against his chest, trying to push him away, but my strength felt like nothing compared to the grip he had on me.Giovanni chuckled darkly, a sound that made my stomach churn. “You’re sharper than I gave you credit for,” he admitted, his words laced with mocking amusement. My eyes widened in horror as I realized what he meant. Then I saw it—the syringe gleaming in his hand, inches away from my skin. He was going to inject me with whatever deadly concoction he had prepared. Panic surged through me, but before I could react, Alex moved, faster than either o
Third Person PovThe air was thick with tension as Alex faced against Giovanni, every muscle in his body coiled in preparation for a move that could turn the tide. His mate, Kyrie, stood a short distance away, her eyes locked onto the battle, her heart racing. She knew Alex didn’t want her to get involved just yet. He was looking for an opening, a chance to gain the upper hand, and she had to trust him. But watching him struggle, her instincts screamed at her to act.Then, in a flash, everything changed. With a cruel smirk, Giovanni managed to slip away from Alex’s grasp and teleported across the battlefield, materializing dangerously close to Kyrie. Her breath hitched as his fist swung toward her, but she reacted quickly, dodging just in time. The blow narrowly missed her, and she stumbled backward, crashing against a rough rock. A gasp escaped her lips as her back met the hard surface of a tree trunk, pain flaring through her body.The sound of her distress caught Alex’s attenti
Valkyrie BehatiGiovanni let out deep, guttural grunts and moans as if his body was preparing to morph into something far more terrifying than I could ever imagine. The sound was unnerving, and I braced myself, uncertain of what monstrous form he was about to take. Yet, as I watched him contort and strain, I couldn’t help but think—did it really matter? He was already a monster in every sense of the word.Alex had seen enough. Without hesitation, he lunged toward Giovanni, determined to stop whatever was happening before it was too late. But the moment he got close, Giovanni lashed out, sending Alex stumbling back, clutching his chest in pain. His face twisted in frustration.“He’s much stronger now, love,” Alex warned, his voice strained but urgent. “You need to back away, please.”I shook my head, my resolve solid. “No. This is where I need to be. I’m staying right here, okay?”Alex glanced at me, his worry evident, but he didn’t argue. We both turned our attention to Giovanni as
Valkyrie Behati“Where are you, Kyrie?!” Giovanni’s voice echoed through the forest, his rage clear, but I couldn’t pull my gaze from Alex. His eyes were distant, glazed over, and though I wanted so badly to ask if he still recognized me, my lips stayed sealed. There was a knot in my throat, the question weighing heavy on my heart.Suddenly, both of our heads snapped toward the far edge of the woods. And saw him there walking toward us. Giovanni had been preparing this whole time before he even got chosen as a commander. He was willing to take down everyone who got in his way to be king of werewolves.The crunch of leaves signaled Giovanni's approach. He had found us. Alex remained unnervingly silent beside me, and my stomach churned with worry. What had they done to him? The man who stood by me now felt like a stranger.“There you two are,” Giovanni sneered, but his tone was filled with disdain as if the sight of us disgusted him. His lips twisted in amusement, though his eyes burn
Valkyrie BehatiJust when I thought I could drive the blade into his neck, something sharp whizzed past me. A syringe hurled with precision. My senses kicked in just in time, and I instinctively moved back, narrowly avoiding it. The adrenaline coursed through me as I turned to the side, my gaze locking onto the culprit. There stood Tanya, her eyes filled with a fiery rage, glaring at me like she was ready to rip me apart.Her presence didn’t shake me, though. I stood my ground, unwavering, and met her fury with a calm smile. “Oh, hey, it’s you. Laine got caught,” I said, my voice light, as though I was greeting an old friend. “You must be over the moon now that you’ve all the time in the world with Giovanni.”Her face contorted with anger, and she screamed at me, her voice raw and full of venom. “Shut up! You ruined my life! You took Alex away from me, you snake!”I didn’t flinch. “You ruined your own life, Tanya,” I said, my tone steady but firm. “You let yourself get manipulated
Valkyrie BehatiSo many thoughts are swirling in my head as I stand rooted to the spot, trying to absorb everything he's saying. It feels like the weight of the past is pressing down on me, and the more he talks, the more it all comes crashing in.Back in my previous life, I watched as Alex spiraled toward his destruction. It all began after the accident at Hotel Grandia. From that moment, he changed. Ruthlessness took over, not just toward his pack and commanders, but to everyone in the city. At the time, I couldn’t understand why, but now, hearing it from Giovanni makes sense. Alex had been drugged.I don't know why I wasn’t affected the same way. Maybe it was pure luck that I only ended up poisoned instead. Still, there are so many unanswered questions swirling in my mind. Why had it come to this? Why had he gone so far as to hunt me down? Why was he so determined to kill me? Even now, I struggle to understand the depth of his madness.“Why do you still want me back?” I ask, my v
Valkyrie BehatiAfter my furious screams, a sinister laugh echoed from the distance. I recognized that sound all too well. It sent a shiver down my spine.Before long, Giovanni emerged from the thick fog. Once sharp and calculating, his eyes were now bloodshot, glowing with an unnatural red hue. Something about him had changed drastically. He looked... broken, like a man who had tampered with forces beyond his control, and the result was terrifying.“Ah, finally, the woman I’ve been longing to see,” Giovanni breathed out in a slow, menacing tone, a twisted smile stretching across his face. His voice was ragged like he had lost a part of his sanity. It was clear to me now—he was no longer the same man. He had descended into madness.“I escaped that wretched prison just to find you,” he said, his steps closing in, but before he could get any closer, Matt moved swiftly, standing protectively in front of me. Arnold followed, positioning himself beside Matt, their presence a solid barri
