Valkyrie BehatiI didn’t know what to feel as the sound of that voice reached my ears, resonating in the depths of my soul. Slowly, I opened my eyes, only to find myself suspended in an endless expanse of white. The space around me was vast, seemingly infinite, and soft and ethereal clouds floated gently all around. I felt weightless, drifting through this surreal realm, my heart pounding with uncertainty.“M-Moon Goddess?” My voice trembled as I spoke, rising slightly in pitch, betraying the uneasiness within me. I wasn’t sure if I had guessed correctly, and the thought of embarrassing myself in this otherworldly place gnawed at me.But there was no response. Silence enveloped me, thick and oppressive, and I began to grow anxious, unsure of what to do. My movements were hesitant as I floated—or was I walking?—through this vast, unending space. Was there something I should be doing? Some task I was meant to complete?My teeth sank into my lower lip as I continued to move forward, u
Valkyrie Behati“Though it is disappointing, I must admit, that William has chosen to join forces with Giovanni,” James said, his voice carrying the weight of his disappointment. “He was the first to claim he would back out, especially when he knew the two of you would eventually find your mates.”Arnold, standing beside him, nodded in agreement. “Same here,” he added, his tone thoughtful yet laced with a hint of frustration. “But, who knows? Maybe something happened. Giovanni offered him something so tempting and blinding that William couldn’t resist.” James claimed.The room seemed to fall into a heavy silence, every one reflecting on William’s betrayal, but Alex broke through it with a steady, determined voice. “For now, one thing is certain,” he said, looking around at all of us. “This isn’t over. It might seem like things have quieted down but stay on your guard. Giovanni might target people we’re close to, and we can’t afford to let our guard down.”I nodded in agreement, tak
Valkyrie Behati“You can’t come today, Kyrie.” Alex’s voice was low, but its firmness was unshakable. His hands curled into tight fists, his knuckles paling under the strain. “You are staying here, and that’s final.”My chest tightened, but I refused to back down. Crossing my arms, I stood my ground, determined. “No, Alex. I’m coming with you, whether you like it or not.” The words came out steady, but I knew this was only the beginning of the battle. The look on his face told me how much he hated the idea of me being anywhere near this situation, especially around Giovanni.Alex didn’t want me near Giovanni. He feared that seeing me would stir in him, the memories and the past. But it wasn’t just about Giovanni but also about me. They had to understand what they did to me. They had to feel the weight of their actions, the fear they should’ve always had but didn’t.“No,” Alex said again, his jaw clenched, eyes burning with a mix of anger and concern. “I told you, it’s unsafe for you
Valkyrie Behati“Giovanni has always been abusive,” I said, my voice firm but shaking ever so slightly. “He threatens verbally, physically, in ways no one could manage, but he could. Not just to me, but my previous pack.”The effect was immediate. The crowd, which had been murmuring softly among themselves, fell into a deep, uneasy silence. Even Laine, who had avoided eye contact with me all this time, looked up. But her gaze was strange—there was something there, a flicker of recognition or understanding. Could she relate to what I had just said? I couldn’t tell, and I couldn’t bring myself to care at that moment.I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I had a mission here, and it was crystal clear: to put Giovanni behind bars, to ensure that we never had to live through the horrors of the past again. The war, the pain, the destruction—I think it was all tied to him, and I needed to stop it, once and for all. I wasn’t sure if I could succeed, but I had already made up my mi
Valkyrie BehatiShie gently led me to my room, her arms steady as I stumbled under the weight of my tears. I hadn't realized just how exhausted I was until my body collapsed onto the bed, my mind too weary to resist sleep. The overwhelming emotions, the endless sobs—they had drained me completely. I wasn't even sure when I fell asleep, but I knew I did when the sensation of someone combing through my hair stirred me awake. The motion was soft, comforting, and warm and when I opened my eyes, I found Alex sitting beside me on the bed.He was watching me, his eyes filled with something between worry and relief, as if he'd been waiting for me to wake up. His gaze softened when he noticed I was awake, his lips parting with a quiet sigh of relief.“You're awake,” he whispered, his voice gentle as he leaned forward to press a tender kiss to my forehead. “You've been crying all morning.”I blinked slowly, trying to shake off the fog of sleep, and mumbled, “W-What time is it?” My eyes flutte
Valkyrie BehatiI can't wrap my head around it. Why would he want to do that now, after rejecting me in the first place? It doesn't make any sense, and it’s only getting more confusing as I think about it.What’s really going on in that murderer’s head? I shivered, almost hugging myself for comfort. If it weren’t for Pau, I wouldn’t have known what he was planning. She saved me from walking into something much worse.Pau’s voice softened, her expression darkening as she continued. “That’s when the vendor noticed me. The rest… it’s too much. I don’t want to talk about it. It’s just... too painful. No one should ever have to go through that.”Her words lingered in the air, heavy with the weight of her unspoken trauma. The silence in the room stretched, each of us grappling with what she had revealed. There were no words strong enough to respond, just the feeling of shared horror hanging between us.“It’s okay,” Matt finally said, his voice soft but steady. “Don’t push yourself to say m
Valkyrie BehatiHis chest barely rose and fell, but he was alive—thank the goddess. However, his body was covered in wounds, each one worse than the last.“He’s badly hurt! Matt, call someone from the pack! We need help now!” I shouted, trying to keep my voice steady as panic began to claw at me.Matt growled low in his throat, his expression darkening. “A rogue was here,” he muttered, his tone filled with barely controlled rage.A loud noise shattered the tense silence outside, sending a jolt of terror through me. My arms instinctively wrapped around Pierre, holding him close despite the blood that soaked his clothes. His breaths were shallow, and his pale face faded with each passing second. I can’t bear to see him in that kind of state.“Luna, please, you need to hide. We don’t know if the rogue is still here,” Matt urged, his voice steady but urgent. He pulled off his shirt as he spoke, revealing his readiness to fight. “I can smell two distinct scents. We're outnumbered.”I swa
Valkyrie BehatiDays passed slowly, the anticipation building with each one, until finally, Alex's birthday arrived. The excitement was palpable, though everyone made sure to prepare discreetly, following my carefully laid-out plans. They all worked hard to avoid crossing paths with their Alpha, fearing that they might let their excitement slip and greet him before the surprise.This year, though, they told me that something was different. Alex hadn’t requested any meals for his birthday, which was odd considering how much he usually enjoyed the pack’s celebrations. I overheard them saying it might be because he probably had something special planned with me after the competition, and the thought made my heart flutter. I wanted to squeal and roll around in my bed, overwhelmed by his sweet gestures. Alex could be so thoughtful and romantic, and I could hardly believe how lucky I was to be loved by him.To be loved like this—deeply and without reservation—had always been something I
