Valkyrie BehatiGiovanni’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained guarded after hearing what I just stated.The room seemed to grow quieter as he absorbed my response. The questions he had lingered in the space, unspoken but clearly felt, leaving an almost tangible tension.“I made every effort I could to bring you back to me,” he said, his voice strained and full of emotion. “It was a terrible mistake to let you slip away. But how could you let him claim you? How could you let him have you?”His words were fierce, and I could see the anger and frustration in his eyes. His teeth were clenched tightly, and it seemed like he was trying hard to control his feelings. I stood there, taken aback by his words. The fact that he wanted to get me back was a shock. But why? Why did he cheat on me only to want to have me back? His actions and words only confused me. Everything he did seemed to add to the swirling storm of uncertainty inside me. I couldn’t make sense of his intentio
Valkyrie BehatiAlex and I continued kissing passionately. His lips moved with mine as we tumbled onto the bed. The mattress was soft, but it felt cool against my back.I could feel that most of my clothes were gone. All that remained were my stockings and underwear. Alex's hands were everywhere, exploring my body gently as if he wanted to remember every detail.A soft whine almost escaped my lips as Alex’s lips left mine. His kisses drifted down to my neck, leaving a trail of warmth and pleasure.I could feel the gentle pressure of his touches from the side of my neck, I didn’t bother worrying if he would leave hickeys.Alex pulled away slightly, his gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that made my heart race. He began to slide my stockings down but then paused, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. “For some reason,” he said, his voice low and deliberate, “I want to claim you while you’re still wearing these.”I stared at him, bewildered. “W-What? How on earth would you d
Valkyrie BehatiDays turned into weeks, and I grew increasingly uncomfortable with Tanya's frequent visits. It was starting to bother me.Tanya had good excuses for her visits. They were all related to work, specifically to the client who was scheduled to have a meeting with Alex. Every time Tanya showed up, she had some business-related reason. She needed to discuss important details, go over plans, or prepare for the upcoming meeting.At first, I tried to brush off my unease. Tanya was doing Alex a favor when it came to the known clients. But as the days went by, her visits became more frequent, and my discomfort grew. It wasn't just the professional aspect that bothered me. There was something else, something I couldn't quite put my finger on.Tanya was different like she was a changed person. I am not sure if it’s a good one. She knew I was marked, yet she was calm. She did not overreact just like what happened when I was marked.I couldn't escape these strange emotions building
Valkyrie BehatiWhen he came back, I sat beside Alex, gently massaging his back, he gave a low grunt of satisfaction. “Ah, that part feels good,” he said, his voice rumbling with relief. I could feel the tension in his muscles, the knots, and the stiffness that had built up over time. He had been complaining about the discomfort for days, and I was determined to help him feel better.I continued to apply steady pressure, my fingers working through the tight spots, seeking out the areas where his body held the most stress. “You have a lot of tension in your back,” I remarked, feeling the knots beneath my fingertips. “If this doesn't get worked out, it'll just make you more tired.”Alex sighed, his breath deep and slow, a sign that the massage was starting to take effect. “What about here?” I asked, pressing gently on his ribcage. I felt a subtle shift as a few of his joints cracked, releasing the built-up tension. His reaction was immediate—a deep, almost primal moan of relief and pl
Valkyrie Behati“You’re making it too dark,” Pierre informed me as I shaded a pair of realistic eyes. The white charcoal pen I was using almost turned black from my mistakes.“Sorry about that, I’m still adjusting to how this pen works,” I admitted before starting over again.Pierre leaned over, his eyes studying my work closely. He was always patient, always ready to offer advice, but I could see the hint of concern in his expression. “Try to go lighter with your strokes,” he suggested gently. “This pen is delicate. It’s easy to go too heavy.”I nodded, taking a deep breath. I let my hand move more lightly across the paper, barely touching it. The charcoal glided smoothly, leaving softer, more controlled lines this time. It felt like learning to draw all over again, but Pierre’s presence was reassuring.“That’s better,” he said, his voice warm with encouragement. “Remember, you can always add more layers, but it’s hard to take them away.”I smiled, feeling a bit more confident. “Tha
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
