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
Valkyrie BehatiWhen cameras started flashing before my eyes, I knew that my whole life would change. Those who spend so much time on social media would not take this lightly.It was a good thing I don’t have any social media accounts for them to stalk. My privacy is safe, especially my past.The cloud pack will probably be surprised if they see this on the news, but I couldn’t care less. They can think whatever they want.Everyone started clapping their hands. Most of them looked confused, but some of them were genuinely happy.Matt was nowhere around so anxiety was spreading across my body until the lights went out. Crap, it’s happening!All of my senses heightened and I felt that Alexander held onto my waist tightly, “This isn’t part of the party,”I didn’t mind his statement and observed our surroundings, I stopped when I felt some eerie presence backstage.When that figure slowly approached us and raised its hands, I swiftly pushed Alexander away. I felt my hands burning after th
Valkyrie Behati“You will die here!”“You will never be happy!”“You are mine!”My eyes shut wide open before I rose from the bed I was sleeping in. Sweats were forming on my forehead.Nightmares, they’re finally visiting me now. I blinked my eyes several times and remembered what happened at the hotel.“A-Am I healed? Was I poisoned?” Confused, I touched myself, “Did I reincarnate again?”My eyes wandered down to my body. I was wearing a comfortable nightgown, and a dextrose line was attached to my wrist.I looked around and noticed that the room did not look familiar, “Where the hell am I?” I bit my lower lip before pushing myself to stand up.The door suddenly swung open and revealed to me Alex, whose silver eyes widened when he saw me.“I-I um—Alexander?” My breathing hitched when he rushed towards me to hug me tight as if he had lost me for ages.“You were sleeping for days, thank goodness you’re awake,” he whispered as if he was so worried about me.I shook my head before gently
Valkyrie BehatiThe next day came by. I slept in, waking up late after a night of writing. Everything feels hard to track now; so much has changed.But it seemed like what happened in the past will still happen, only with shifts and changes I can’t quite explain.It’s making me anxious, but I have to keep it together since there is a backup that I never had before. Alexander.After massaging my head several times, my eyes peered on the bedside table and noticed there was a letter, it came from him.“Meet me in the gymnasium, choose the right on the west wing. Wear your training clothes.” I read before putting it back.A squeal escaped from my mouth as I rolled on my bed like a vegetable wrap. I am finally going to learn to get stronger!With no time to spare, I sprung out of bed like a rocket and dashed straight to the shower to get there immediately.After slipping into my comfortable clothes, I dashed towards the gymnasium even though I was not sure where it was located.I halted af
Valkyrie BehatiI was frowning jaw to jaw. I can’t believe Alexander would make such a strange request, he wanted me to cook homemade foods so we could have a candle-lit dinner that he prepared in the garden.Confusion was lingering in my mind while I was frying some chicken, I plan to make this into a sweet soy one.“Someone’s cooking something nice, can I have a taste? It should be a secret because the Alpha wouldn’t allow me to taste one.”Matt was talking from behind. I was surprised by what he said as usual because I didn’t feel his presence from behind.“How can you do that?” I asked before turning to him, ignoring his statement, which made him look as confused as his eyebrows furrowed.“Conceal your presence, I always couldn’t detect you,” I claimed, which made him relax before nodding.“Stealth has always been my expertise, I could teach you that sometimes,” Matt suggested, which made me smile.“You can have one of these when I am done,” I told him. Matt cheerfully clapped his
Valkyrie Behati“I told you not to drop me off.” I pouted while holding onto my art materials. Alex didn’t say anything, “Hey! I am talking to you!”“That is far away, transportation is dangerous around there, I will drop you off or pick you up if I am available.” he finally spoke, “Matt will do it if I am not around.”“I am not a child anymore,” I grunted before staring at the moving scenery on the tinted windows.“Someone is after your life still, right? It’s my job to look after you.” he firmly said so I didn’t argue with him anymore.After sharing such a great night with him, a good lesson about art would take my thoughts somewhere else.The sight of his sinful body at the gym did not help me sleep last night, the candle-lit dinner made me think of silly scenarios and thoughts.I must be going on heat soon, which is not a good sign. I need to stay away from him if that happens or I’ll be so embarrassed that I won’t be able to show my face.My mouth gape wide open after seeing the
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
