Valkyrie BehatiAfter the lunch break, we didn’t do anything aside from focusing on finishing our masterpiece since we only had the whole day.“Are you done?” Shie asked while she was wiping her hands, “I feel like I lost all of my nerves, it’s been a while since I drew and painted this fast.”I smiled before shifting my gaze towards her, “I am proud of you, I don’t want to look at your art right now, I’ll save the view for later.”She chuckled at my statement before heading out to grab some snacks. Shie can't work well without something to chew on.I, on the other hand, love the peace around us. The rhythmic strokes and taps of brushes on canvas are enough to inspire me to keep going.By four in the afternoon, everyone was resting in the corners of the room. Their discipline in not peeking at each other’s work makes me want to commend everyone who decided to delve deeper into art here.I was also done with mine and was drinking some lemon juice when I saw Pierre standing gallantly in
Valkyrie BehatiThe next day came by, I immediately checked my phone to see if the issues circulating online were removed, but it was not.I breathed heavily after reading some harsh comments about him and me. I am not sure what I feel because I am more worried about him.Three knocks from my door made me jolt up in surprise before I composed myself, “W-Who is it?”“It’s me, Kyrie, can you open the door?” I heard Alex’s voice outside, which forced me to stand up.Hearing his voice somehow calmed my well-being before I jogged towards the door to open it for him.“Sorry about last night.” Alex started when he saw me, “We’re supposed to go out for dinner, but I was so preoccupied—Kyrie?”I don’t know what came over me, but my mind and heart agreed that we wanted to do this. I hugged him tightly.His body stiffened but relaxed before embracing me tightly. For some reason, it was a relief to be around his arms. It's warm and comforting.We stayed in that position for who knows how long bef
Alexander Nicholas Astley I quickly looked away when I noticed her restless movements; she wasn't wearing any underwear. Her nipples were visibly pressing against the fabric of her dress.Something stirred within me at the thought of her in that dress, a dangerous notion now that the alcohol was starting to hit.If only I’d known this drink would be this hard, I never should’ve brought this aside from my lemonade.I nervously nibbled my lower lip, toying with my glass. Who was I fooling? Bringing it here was no accident; perhaps deep down, I craved the unexpected.A heavy sigh escaped my lips before drinking the wine in one shot, I downed the wine in one gulp, my eyes shutting against the searing sensation trailing down my throat.When I opened my eyes, she was sitting right in front of me. Her ocean-blue eyes felt like they were tempting me to dive into their depths and lose myself.“W-What are you doing here?” I asked surprised, but she pouted before pointing at the yogurt in the b
Valkyrie BehatiAlex did not let me see him for two days straight. I am not sure if he did it on purpose, but it helped me regain my composure and think about him.My art distracted me from my thoughts as well, but I still can’t forget the fact Pierre cried because of my masterpiece.I almost forgot that I wanted to share that with Alex, but I tend to forget because of his presence which affects my well-being.Right now, I am getting ready with the help of Pau because we have to attend a meeting later where the commanders are going to be present.I am too comfortable in this mansion now. To be honest, this is not a good sign because I am staying here temporarily.“There! You are down, Kyrie.” Pau beamed so my eyes shifted towards the vanity mirror, smiling at her masterpiece.“I look straight out of the canvas.” I playfully winked, which made her chuckle before accompanying me out.My heart raced as we approached the staircase, and there he was, engaged in intense conversation with Ma
Valkyrie BehatiI came back from the mansion by commuting. It has been a long time I walked this far, but I managed to arrive safely.My mind was floating in the air until someone approached me before holding onto my hands, “Kyrie? You’re back alone?”I raised my gaze, noticing that it was Pau. She was roaming her eyes around the garden before looking at me again.“Kyrie? Why are you back alone?” she asked again.The thought of Alex being kissed by someone crushed my well-being. I clutched my chest before lowering my head.“I wanted to walk home, I needed some alone time to think about stuff in life.” I told her while smiling, “I need to go to my room.”I didn’t let her say anything as I walked away and locked myself inside of my room. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.Am I acting like this because I have fallen for him completely? I bit my lower lip, my heart was deeply crushed by what I saw.I didn’t think about the possibility that he might meet his mate. Compared to what we have,
Valkyrie BehatiAfter closing one of my notes, a deep sigh escaped my lips, “After three days, it’s all dead end.”Giovanni’s information about the businesses he holds seems strange, I tried to look for loops that would lead me to evidence that could take him down but I couldn’t find any.I found something, but it’s not valid enough to put them behind bars. I could make an issue out of it online.Matt is the person I ask help for if I plan on doing that. He is an expert on various social media platforms.There’s information that Giovanni is doing illegal work underground. I just need enough proof to release it online so their pack would go in a panic.I bit my lower lip before massaging my forehead. Despite all those distractions, I can’t seem to get Alex off my mind.He just consumes every part of my head. This is really bad, I need to go out tomorrow for a run. Besides, I have to go check the underground business of Giovanni anyway.It’s dangerous, but I am sure he would not be arou
Valkyrie BehatiThe next day came by. As expected, my bots did a great job putting my blog on viral. Giovanni is all over the news now.I was smiling ear to ear when I got out of my room, bumping into someone. I wasn’t prepared for what escalated, but I lost my balance.“W-Waa oh my—woah, um, Alex, it’s you.” I breathed heavily while staring into those deep pools of silver.I can’t believe I was so preoccupied with the news circulating online that I forgot that I was trying to avoid him.Alex helped me up before looking at my phone, “Why are you smiling ear to ear? Are you speaking to someone?”I immediately hid my phone, “N-No, I do not speak to anyone. I do read blogs and news about the media.”“I thought you were not interested in those kinds of things, but anyway, I am so glad to see you again.” he smiled.What happened next surprised me when he hugged me tight, “I have missed you so much, can you please not hide yourself from me again? If I did something wrong, please forgive me.
Valkyrie BehatiSeveral days have passed. I am getting anxious because I couldn’t do anything aside from posting numerous blogs.Still, my bots were making it viral but it seems like Giovanni does not care. He has been here for who knows how long.He is always at the company, accompanying either Tanya or Alex. I am not sure why he is here, but maybe this is about Pierre Legumes' business.Aside from that, Tanya is becoming more annoying day by day. She is trying so hard to get Alex’s attention.She was becoming bossy, and always irritated, sometimes she diverts it to me as if I was her maid watching her have tantrums.“Nicholas has changed a lot, he was not like this before.” Tanya stomped her feet, her arms crossed against her chest.I was making coffee in the pantry. I guess she followed me here to rant about the stuff about Alex again. She has always been like this, I am not sure what to say to her because it feels like she wants me to say something.Aside from that, I am not sure
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
