Valkyrie Behati“Then you leave me no choice. I will kill him and everyone you know so that you have no one else to turn to except for me.” His voice echoed from behind, each word sharp and threatening, causing me to freeze.My heart pounded wildly in my chest, a fierce drumbeat that seemed to drown out all other sounds. The words hit me like a sudden gust of icy wind. I hadn’t anticipated hearing such a direct threat from him, not here, not now, before I even faced him.As I slowly turned around, the sight before me was startling. He looked entirely different from how I remembered. His eyes burned with a dark, unwavering determination that made it clear he was prepared to go to any lengths to have me back even if it meant committing murder.The memory of him—cold, ruthless, and violent—haunted me. I recalled the terror of those moments when he had taken my life, over and over, with a cold detachment that left me feeling utterly powerless. It had been a while since I had been so over
Valkyrie Behati“We’re here.” I heard Giovanni say that made me stop staring towards the motionless scenery outside.I turned towards him and he was already outside, waiting for me to get out while carrying some of my bags.Alex would open the door for me. I bitterly smiled before getting out of his car, breathing heavily after seeing that white house.The trauma and all of the bad things that have happened to me came rushing like a flood inside my mind.I bit my inner cheek, trying to calm myself down. I can’t let anyone see me as weak here, I have changed.They have to know that I am not the same girl they know from before. “Are you coming or what?”I looked towards Giovanni. He does not have emotions plastered on his face, but he is pleased to see me around. I can tell.He was smiling while we were on the road a while ago. I am not sure if it’s because he made his Alpha King look frustrated or the fact that he got me back that easily.I clenched my fists, trying to forget his paine
Valkyrie BehatiIt didn't take me long to get ready. As I walked downstairs, fixing my hair to the side, I felt someone's eyes on me.I glanced over and saw Giovanni waiting patiently. He was dressed in casual clothes that matched mine in color. His gaze was fixed on me, almost as if he was mesmerized.“Just as I thought, blue looks great on you,” Giovanni said, wetting his lower lip as he looked me over from head to toe.I felt a wave of disgust but tried to keep my composure. Shaking my head, I approached him. “What are you waiting for? Let's go. I don't want to waste any time.”He guided me towards his car. As usual, he didn’t open the door for me, so I did it myself. I wanted to laugh at the thought of how different he was from Alex. Giovanni could never compare to him. The whole car ride was quiet. I kept myself busy scrolling through my phone, trying to distract my thoughts. I was half-expecting to see some news about what had happened between Alex and me, but there was nothin
Valkyrie Behati“Where the hell are you taking me? It’s pitch black out here!” I protested, my voice irritated as I realized Giovanni was dragging me toward the overgrown garden.“Giovanni! Let me go! What do you want from me?” I strained against his grip, my frustration mounting.He finally released me, giving me a moment to catch my breath from his hurried pace. “I don’t want you under the protection of the Alpha King. Tell him to stop it.”I furrowed my brows in confusion. “I don’t ask him to do such things, he is acting on his own accord—something I can’t freaking control!”“Even so, you need to make him stop!” Giovanni’s voice was a sharp, furious demand, causing me to take a step back in surprise. What the hell is up with him?He began pacing, his frustration evident as he ran his hands through his hair. “He’s behaving this way because you haven’t rejected him yet!”I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I had a sinking feeling about what was coming next.“You have to re
Valkyrie BehatiAlex released all his juices inside me right after he was done. I thought it was over, but he forced me to remove all my dress, the fabric slipped from my shoulders and pooled around my feet, leaving me exposed and vulnerable.“We’re not done yet, Kyrie.” Alex huskily stated while he was taking all of his clothes, his erection still hard and up.I wasn’t protesting anymore. For some reason, I know in the back of my mind that I have been wanting and missing to do this with him.He guided me to face the sink and gently lowered my back, preparing me for what was next. His touch was tender but firm as he entered me again.From the mirror before me, I could see the intense longing in his eyes, and I couldn’t hide my feelings. It was obvious from how my eyes and mouth moved when he took me.It wasn’t long until I felt his warm release inside me again as we both collapsed on the cold ground, but he made sure my butt won’t hit anything aside from his thighs.He pulled me into
Valkyrie Behati“What are you so mad about?” I asked, my voice rising as I watched Giovanni tighten his grip on the steering wheel.“You’re lying to me, that’s why,” he shot back, his tone matching mine. Suddenly, I screamed as the car swerved dangerously close to the vehicle in front of us when the traffic light turned red.“Are you crazy? Giovanni, stop! You could get us both killed!” I yelled, my heart pounding in my chest. Giovanni’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t respond. The rest of the drive was silent, filled with tension. When we finally got home, I headed straight to my room without looking back. I expected Giovanni to follow me, to yell, to punish me, but he didn’t.I didn’t care that he was mad, what is it to him that I lied? I am more worried about my life span whenever I am with him. One wrong move, he could end me.Fine, let him stew in his anger, I thought. I had more important things to worry about. I needed to start my research.I spent hours in my room, engrossed in t
Valkyrie BehatiEveryone fell into a hush after my declaration. The silence was thick until Giovanni broke it with an eruption of laughter. He laughed so hard that he nearly collapsed to his knees.“You think you can take down these fifty ruthless rogues standing before you? I'd like to see that happen,” he said, his voice dripping with mockery and superiority.Giovanni's derision wasn't anything new. He was always quick to belittle me, to make me feel insignificant in the face of his arrogance. I was used to it.He hasn’t changed a little. I wanted to scold myself for thinking he might’ve changed for Laine or his people.I turned to face the rogues, their faces twisted with hunger and determination. They seemed desperate to win, their eyes gleaming with the promise of a meal they had likely longed for days on end.“I told you before,” I said softly, my voice steady despite the tension. I began to tie my hair into a tight knot, each movement deliberate as I prepared for the fight ahea
Valkyrie BehatiI grumpily settled into the driver’s seat, feeling the weight of exhaustion pressing down on me. It was far too early for anyone to be awake, let alone for me, especially after the long night I’d just endured. I had spent the entire evening poring over a mountain of documents I had stolen from Giovanni’s office and study room, each page more incriminating than the last. The thrill of sneaking into his office and getting away with it had kept me awake, but now, as the morning sun glared through the windshield, I was paying the price. My head throbbed, and every bone in my body ached with fatigue.I knew that the missing documents wouldn’t go unnoticed for long. If someone were to come looking, I could easily hide them on the desk in the living room—exactly where I always stashed things when I wanted them to be found.It was a trick I had used before when I wanted to help someone in the pack but they didn’t want my help, and it worked like a charm. They’d never suspect
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
