Valkyrie Behati
“I, Alpha Giovanni Malford, reject you, Valkyrie Behati as my mate and the Luna of the Cloud pack.”
What he said was supposed to surprise or even hurt me, but this is the third time I heard this statement.
I counted a few numbers in my mind to match with the pack's pacing and just like what happened in my first and second life, they all murmured in chorus.
“I knew that she would be rejected, she is so dull and plain after all.” Someone commented mischievously.
“Right? I don’t like her style, plus she is so strict with everyone, she is no fun. That’s why we don’t invite her to anything.” Her friend added unfairly.
“Maybe it was because she kept volunteering to do his job, shouldn’t he be happy about that? I don’t know what she did to be rejected. She’s like a perfect Luna to us.” A man from the back claimed.
“Oh, come on, it was so obvious that she is so in love with him, everyone would be tired of it, besides, Laine is much hotter compared to her.” Someone mocked.
“Why did the Alpha reject our Luna? He loves her mom, right?” A pup asked his mom; he was that child I always read stories to.
“Shush, it’s none of our business.”
This rejection, comments, insults, or not, I was starting to get tired of hearing it. Irritated would be the perfect word to describe what I was feeling.
“I, Valkyrie Behati, accept your rejection,” I said without any emotion plastered on my face.
The room crackled with electricity as gasps echoed off the walls, everyone seemed to be surprised with what I said.
Their reaction was nothing new to me, but the satisfaction of seeing them like that just comforts my well-being.
“W-What? How could she react like it was nothing to her?!” I heard them overreact, just like what they did during my second life.
When I was rejected the first time and begged Giovanni to take me back, everyone pitied and laughed at me.
I clenched my fists because I couldn’t protect myself, even in my second life. Why is this even happening to me?
Why did I let him kill me again? Wasn’t accepting his rejection back then the only option for me to stay alive?
This man, why did he follow me? Isn’t rejecting what he wanted in the first place? I breathed heavily before lifting my head to face him.
We are currently having a party inside the white house to celebrate because he is about to be called to the palace the day after tomorrow, where the Alpha King will choose four Alphas to serve him directly to protect the Red Mountain.
And then, he ordered everyone here because he had a big announcement to make, and that was to reject me.
This is the third time I got reincarnated but his mischievous grin never failed to irk me. The effect of his rejection towards me, unlike the first time, seemed to have dulled now.
Back then, I could feel my heart crushing into a million pieces after hearing him say that for the first time, but in this very moment, all I yearned for was an escape from this wretched place.
I shifted my gaze slowly towards Laine, who clung tightly to his arm. I couldn’t forget her radiant smile from behind Van when he delivered the fatal blow the first time around when I begged him to take me back.
In my second life, I thought I had learned my lesson, or they would leave me be when I accepted his rejection, but Laine became a shadow haunting my every move. I think the reason why I kept seeing her in places that I went back then was because she became Giovanni’s dog.
I stared at him again and almost cursed when I realized that he was still smirking, I loved him. Giovanni stood as a beacon of kindness and selflessness towards me and the pack.
His devotion to our pack touched me deeply. As his Luna, my sole desire was to support him and our pack in every way possible. I poured my energy into fulfilling his dreams, relishing the shared vision we built together.
But then, like a sudden storm on a tranquil day, Giovanni made the painful decision to reject me, shattering the dreams I thought we had nurtured together.
Memories of him beating me up until I couldn’t breathe during the first time made me feel too emotional, but I shouldn’t cry in front of them.
I also couldn’t forget the time he raised a sharp silver knife towards my chest just to stab me when I was helpless and beaten up during my second life, he was smiling as if those times we spent together were nothing to him. His smile felt like my life was something he could easily take.
There are a lot of things I want to say about the pack, but I couldn’t waste more time in this place.
I decided to turn my back and walk away from the party. Familiar faces caught my eye, disappointment immediately spread throughout my heart. It hurt me deeply because, despite all the things I did for them, all they did was stand and watch their Alpha violently kill me. Not even a word was stated.
The echoing clicks of my heels reverberated through the pack house, drawing puzzled glances from all around. Their expressions spoke volumes—confusion etched across every face.
It wasn't surprising; after all, they all remembered how utterly infatuated I had been with him. So, my acceptance of his rejection must have seemed like a shockwave for them.
My wolf was agonizing in pain, and it made me weak, my knees were this close to collapsing but I kept trying to ignore it.
But she kept screaming in pain, making it hard for me to move forward. I think she was also reincarnated with me; she is aware.
‘Agatha, I am sure that we don’t have time to mourn for our hearts right now. You know that he hates us, killed us two times already.’ I raised my tone inside my mind.
‘It still hurts, Kyrie. How can we stop this?’ Agatha replied, she sounded broken.
‘I am not sure, but we are getting out of here first so get a hold of yourself. Remember what they did to us.’ I firmly told her.
I can’t believe that she still got hurt when this happened the third time already. She should get used to it now.
We are never going back to this place or welcoming anyone in our lives. The Cloud pack is dead to me.
I surprisingly gasped when someone tightly gripped my wrists, I was startled because this didn’t happen back then.
This is new and extremely alarming. Why is he always reacting differently? He spooks the hell out of me.
“A-Are you telling me you are okay with this rejection?” Giovanni’s voice cracked, almost betraying him.
“I accepted your rejection, of course, I am okay with it. You should let me go now, Alpha.” I firmly said.
He didn’t budge. I stared at his hands that were still holding my wrist, it was getting tighter as if he was warning me about what I was doing.
My body could feel how painful that was but all I could think of was being touched by my murderer and how badly I wanted to get out of it.
“I said let me go!” I gritted my teeth and shoved his hands away. The force I let out was so strong that he bumped towards Laine.
“Ahh!” Laine winced in pain the moment he hit her and fell to the ground like a helpless princess. I rolled my eyes, there she goes, the best actress.
Just a mere touch from him was enough to make my blood boil, I wanted to punch him. It’s too hard to restrain myself right now.
“Answer me! How are you okay with this!” His loud tone piped down everyone who was around the room. Wow, he didn’t even bat an eye on his woman who purposely fell on the ground.
“What do you mean? I am grateful that you rejected me. It’s not my problem that your pathetic mind couldn’t comprehend that.” I told him nonchalantly.
He looked taken aback again by what I said.
I cautiously watched what he did next, he finally helped his woman up and glared at me, “L-Look at what you did! Apologize to her!” he stuttered.
This didn’t happen before; did things change because of what I did? I shook my head; I did nothing but reject him. I also did that back then in my second life, but he didn’t do anything.
“Why would I? You were the one who bumped into her.” I gave him an annoyed glare before approaching Laine, “And why are you hurt with just a mere bump?”
I pulled Laine in the middle and slapped her. Gasps surrounded the whole room, and this angered some of them.
Laine was too shocked to even react, “Now you know what hurt more, didn’t you?”
I could feel their eyes burning as they gazed towards me, they couldn’t even speak because of how I was acting.
Just as I expected, Giovanni harshly pulled me towards him. Anger was evident in his eyes. If I were being honest, it made me nervous. “What the hell are you doing?!”
“Nothing? You’re holding me so what could I be doing right now? Tsk, I will leave now.” I mustered up the courage to say that.
I pulled away from him and turned my heel, but he stopped me again, “I told you to stop touching me and let me go!”
“Van, why are you stopping her? You wanted this, right?” Laine sounded hurt with her tone; I didn’t want to care or even look at her, but her annoying tone irritated my ear.
Giovanni looked like he wanted to say something to be but then he looked at her. His face was clouded with confused expressions, but he only clenched his fists and furiously glared at me.
I took that opportunity to turn my heel again and walked out of the house. I let out a deep breath because that place was suffocating me.
What happened there confused my well-being, but I literally had no time for that. There is another party that is going to take place later, I need to make full preparations before I go.
There was a painting competition today, I painted an art and passed it before this party took place. And tonight would be the awarding of winners.
I am elated. In this painting competition, I gave up this opportunity in my first life because I was looking forward to Giovanni’s promotion as one of the commanders of the Alpha King.
Back then, I thought that he would need me as his Luna, so I did my best to make the party perfect for him. It was one of the biggest mistakes I made back in my first life, I would never make that decision ever again.
To be continued…
Valkyrie BehatiThe smell of different canvases filled my nose as I walked around the hotel where our masterpieces were displayed as if we were inside an exhibition.I was already dressed in my white casual dress while carrying a large brown envelope and observed numerous artists walking around while checking out other’s work.Everyone seemed so skilled and professional. I could hear them talk about their experiences with other competitions, they have been painting for so long.I clutched my chest and breathed heavily. I don’t feel like I belong here, I just started to grasp my dream, everything I see or hear right here overwhelms me.Shaking my head, I decided to sit at the back. I checked the time on my wrist, and the awarding will take place any minute now.“Alright, everyone! Before we start the awarding, we would like you to meet our special guests today, the chosen four commanders and the Alpha king!” I heard the host speak, just as I expected.Unfortunately, my heart sank after
Valkyrie BehatiAs the crowd swirled into the grand hotel hall, its atmosphere brimmed with the vivacity of a thousand stories. Shades of beige, cream, and gold adorned every corner, painting an elegant tapestry of celebration.I decided to isolate myself from the crowd because I felt my social battery had worn out until I heard someone speaking on the elevated stage.For some reason, hearing that he wanted to dance with someone made me curious. I decided to roam my eyes around, trying to look for his eyes but I didn’t have a hard time.His gaze was already locked onto mine, a magnetic pull drawing him closer with each step. Emotions surged within me, an unexpected torrent in the midst of the grand affair.My breathing hitched when he got closer, his disheveled jet-black hair made my heart thump and his silver-grayish eyes bore into mine as if he was looking into my soul.Something inside of my stomach ached, I was getting butterflies just by standing this close to him. None of us sai
Giovanni MalfordA lot of things have happened lately and behind all that, I still can’t believe that Kyrie accepted my rejection. I am sure she accepted my rejection because it’s probably one of her tricks for getting me to want to notice her. She was always like that before. I am sure she is waiting for me to go to her and take back what I said. She was hurt by what I did, and she should have been.That is how she is so obsessed with me that she doesn’t realize she is starting to bore me, but she looked extremely different a while ago.Damn it. I didn’t know she could look that breathtaking when I saw her be awarded a while ago. Kyrie was always naturally beautiful, her deep blue sets of eyes complimented her makeover, and she looked so fresh.It almost seemed like she wasn’t affected by the fact that I rejected her. I shook my head, she is affected by it, I am sure of it.Strangely enough, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her, especially after we arrived at this party. She is probably
Valkyrie Behati“Your mate? That is such a big responsibility to fake.” I was bewildered. Why on earth did he suddenly think about that?“I have my reasons, you have yours, which I will not force out of you unless you want to share it.” he casually told me.I squinted my eyes and massaged my forehead gently because it was slightly aching, “So if I pretend to be your mate, you’ll protect me?”He nodded proudly, which made me sigh deeply before scratching the back of my head. I have to think about this thoroughly.For the record, I don’t know what is happening in my life right now. This doesn’t align with what I experienced back then in my first and second life.I didn’t meet or interact with him, so now, I am confused as to why I am inside his study room and we’re currently having negotiations.“I don’t need your protection, involving with you might make things messy.” I confidently claimed.“Are you sure about that? Why did you turn pale a while ago?” he raised his eyebrows judgingly,
Valkyrie BehatiHe paused, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that seemed to probe the very space between us. “Why did you think I would hit you, Kyrie?”His voice deepened, tension tightening his jaw. “Did someone hurt you before?”I shifted uneasily, my hand clutching my chest. “I-I... I'm not comfortable talking about it right now. Can someone take me to my room?” I asked, lowering my head.The room was silent when Matt gently led me out of the study. A wave of relief swept over me, grateful that the Alpha King chose not to press the issue.A while ago, the atmosphere had been light and easy. Now, it felt oppressively heavy. I couldn't shake the feeling that it was all my fault.“Hey, are you okay?” I flinched when Matt decided to speak beside me, which forced me to look before nodding.“Yeah, I kind of feel bad reacting that way, but can he blame me?” I bit my lower lip before sighing deeply, “You’re probably thinking I am weird now.”He amusingly shook his head, “You ar
Valkyrie BehatiI was making my way toward the meeting hall with Matt, he was the one who gave me all of the things I needed to be prepared for that meeting.For some reason, he wanted me to wear a dress. I was not comfortable with it but decided to wear it either way.After all, my main goal was to piss Giovanni off. My presence together with the Alpha King would do that.Matt was whistling an off-tune song before tapping my shoulders, “Can you tell me something about you?”I turned to him, “What would you like to know? You have already researched about me, I am sure you know half of everything.”“Guilty as charged, is it true that you were rejected recently?” Matt asked, “It’s alright if you are not comfortable to answer it.”“Yes, I was rejected three days ago,” I casually told him, but it seemed like he wasn’t surprised before nodding.“You look like…you’re not affected by it,” he stated the obvious.Me being rejected happened three times already, and it would be strange if I woul
Valkyrie BehatiI woke up when I felt that someone was putting blankets around my body. I opened my eyes slowly and saw him.“A-Alpha King?” I raised my tone, but it broke.He stopped moving before sitting at the edge of the bed, “I heard you were extremely tired and were not feeling well, are you alright now, love?”“I-I think I am.” I rose from the bed and forgot that I removed my dress a while ago and was now half-naked right in front of him.I gasped before hugging myself, “Could you please turn around? I need to make myself look decent.”My mind was still in a daze, maybe it was part of the reason why I was taking this whole situation calmly.“Decent? You look decent to me right now.” Alexander firmly said before pulling me to sit on the side of the bed.I hugged the blanket close to my body while he was pulling me, “I-I am serious, I am half naked right now—then I will remove my top too,” Alexander cut me off and unbuttoned his polo shirt. I watched him casually toss that aside
Valkyrie BehatiThe next day came by, we were finally on our way to Hotel Grandia.I was trying to control myself because I kept fixing my skirt even if there was nothing to fix. Alexander just keeps staring at me.He has been that way ever since we left the mansion. I feel like he does not approve of what I am wearing right now.I should’ve chosen silver instead of cream. I mentally scolded myself and tried to pretend that I was not distracted by his heavy stares.“Alpha, you are making her uncomfortable.” Matt finally broke the silence inside of the limousine, which forced me to shift my gaze toward him.Alexander coughed as if he was trying to compose himself, “What? I am not doing anything, Thew.”“You were staring at her for two hours, five minutes, and thirty seconds. I also have a video of my accusation towards you. Don’t deny it.” Matt firmly stated.I laughed out loud at his statement, my reaction seemed like it surprised them since their eyes shifted toward me.“Tss, fine, t
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
