2024-10-29 19:42:56I woke up and could feel my head hurting.
"Ouch! I sat up and groan in pain, looking around the unfamiliar surrounding I began to panic, " Ooh my god, Where am I?"
I heard my voice reverberate in the room, no one, not even a sign of anyone around the room or maybe patrolling outside the door.
My thought snapped and I remember I was attacked. Someone took me, I was kidnapped. Who will kidnap a hateful girl and keep her in a royal room like this? Who even desires me to get kidnapped?
I was still thinking through all that is happening to me and I heard the doorknob turning anti-clockwise. The door began to open slightly, then came the rushing and scratchy sound of a stainless tray sliding through the tiled floor towards me. The tray stops at my

I would wish to think that all that will happen to me the next day will suddenly turn out to be a dream but I have come to realize that wishes are not horses.I woke up with the sound of the roaring cold wind and birds singing. I didn't know how to react to the serenity at the moment, I stood up to look through the window. The singing bird perching on the tree close to the prison catches my eyes and I thought they were happy but here I am all saddened not sure I will make it to tomorrow.I groan and sat back, leaning my back to the wall. If those birds knew what day it is for me today, perhaps they will not be singing happy but they are in my shoe. You know they say it is he who wears the shoe that knows where it hurt. They are not part of my life and will never feel any remorse for me. I know I am alone in all this mess.

I raised my head scanning the room. Sitting at the right side of the podium were 24 council Elders and on the left were the evildoers, Grayson, Tristans, and his co. friends in crime.My gaze caught up with Elder Theophilus who had been like a father to me and I couldn't tell how sad he felt from his expression. he looks like he was going to give everyone a fight in a jiffy.I stood still with my tiny toe jerking in anxiety. I had no other option than wait for the first question. I do have thought of running away but where will I run to. Patiently waiting upon the first question that will determine my fate. The council elder began to whisper to themselves silently. I didn't bother to lean my ear to know exactly what they are trying to deliberate on about me. I just kept mute, face up and hands crossed.

"You are making your point clear, notwithstanding lets us continue to hear you out. I will find a way to talk to the Alpha about this new evidence " The female council member who spoke earlier urged me.Then I heard a deep bass voice, it seems as it was coming from the oldest council member because his deep bass voice quoted everyone off the council members. They had to give him the audience even though some were murmuring and had something to say at the moment before they forget it. The old member in focus is about to speak for the first time since this council trial of me began.I didn't seem to want to allow him to speak because his word might be taking a final since he is elder. I quickly increase the pitch of my voice and continued with my narration." I have had this change most of the intone the

"You are making your point clear, notwithstanding lets us continue to hear you out. I will find a way to talk to the Alpha about this new evidence " The female council member who spoke earlier urged me. I was in between making a gasp of sudden happiness when I heard her say she will talk to the Alpha.Then I heard a deep bass voice, it seems as it was coming from the oldest council member because his deep bass voice hushed every one of the council members. They had to give him the audience even though some were murmuring and had something to say at the moment before they forget it. The older member in focus is about to speak for the first time since this council trial of me had just begun. Several thoughts were running through my mind.I didn't seem to want to allow him to speak because his word might be ta

"What if I truly have magic and I didn't know, Does this mean will I am dying? What if they discover something else that poses a threat to the pack at large? What will be my fate? All this was the thought that clouded my mind as the Alpha called on the sorceress. The night looks like a day to me at the moment and the day looks like the night.What if the sorceress has been brided by Grayson and his team?"Just a few seconds after Alpha Hayes had been called upon to invite the sorceress. The hall room was suddenly filled with threatening and disturbing noises. The female pack member was clinging to the male pack member's body, while the men were all staring from right, left front, and back just to identify where the sound was coming from. In a blink of an eye, there appeared a

I could feel the intense glare from everyone, it didn't hide the fear emitting from their faces. Grayson was shivering, I squinted my eyes to be sure he was peeing already on his pants. Moreover, if that happens at this point I will be the happiest person in this hall room. If that is all I am going to achieve with this sudden power surge of mine before the sorceress revealed my penalty I will be fulfilled. I gave him the evil stare with my berry eyes, I took a relatively short quick step away from the inner hexagonal circle and smashed the chains off my leg as if it's nothing and a gasp of sudden surprise fulfilled the hall room.I back-stepped into the inner hexagonal circle, at this point, I could have decided not to hide from anyone's authority in the hall room, be it the Alpha or the council members but I ignore every right to do so and went in

I didn't know why I did, what I did. I just felt right to do it. So I just lay out my hands and give him the soft and warmest hug. I believe that will do. I honestly didn't know Bradley would take such a risk to come to find me, even though I was not with him when I was kidnapped. He almost drew his lips into mine but I had to swerve my head, calmly.He had my waist with one hand and pulled me closer. His other hand tangled himself in my hair, suddenly I noticed I move my hand around his neck. He licked my bottom lips, then he squeezes my hips a little and I gasped. He took the chance and slipped jis to gut into my mouth, fighting for dominance, and eventually won. Soon I was gasping out of breath and need some air. He drifted and rested his forehead on my shoulder. His eyes were still close but he licked his lips, smiling."That was amaz

Valerie's POVAfter dinner, we were all at the table, talking about everything and everyone said something only Brooks was quiet, and when he would to some words it was short and it will be killed off the humor in the previous statement made by another person. I have never known Brooks to be a man of little words but if he has changed to be so then it serves him right. I did have not an interest in carrying his cross, not me that is overladen.While we were done eating was as if everyone was about to start dozing off but Bradley didn't think that was the right time. He kept on talking about the pack's funniest shifting ceremonies everyone who was with us could relate to his narration and they got as active as life left these eyes magically. I was the only one who seems like didn't get to understand or be able to relate with the shifting ceremonies, not because I have got his gis

Valerie sat on the sofa, hugging her knees. It was the next evening- Monday evening.“A girl child is not supposed to sit that way.” She heard her mom’s voice from the kitchen.She sighed and sat cross-legged.She appealed to her parents to eschew their questions regarding Jonathan. She lied that they were in a fight. Though the latter was true, she lied about the intensity. “I am angry with him. I will talk to him once my anger subsides.” She gave a wry reply, subduing every small instinct to break into bitter tears.Her head was woolly from the recent happenings of her life. She did not accompany her Dad to their office. She hesitated to even take a bath and moved around in the same dress she wore the previous evening. Every single threa

Valerie adjusted the peach-colored stud she wore, which complemented her salwar color. Jonathan took her to her favorite fashion outlet and gifted her that beautiful dress for her previous birthday.She felt, it was the best idea to wear one of his gifts, as she was meeting him after a trifling misunderstanding. She shot a final glance in the rearview mirror before she got down. She walked straight into the showroom.The blank cheque her dad had given her was safe inside her handbag.“Anything between 40-60L will do.” Her dad told her in the morning.“What Color?” She had asked.“That is your choice.” Her dad shrugged his shoulders. “This is just to convert liquid cash into an asset.

"Anything and everything looks so beautiful on you because you are just so beautiful.’ She remembered his words when she wore the same green silk saree for the first time for a family function.“Valarie.” She heard her mom’s voice outside. She smiled to herself.Jonathan's family was coming home today. ‘Everything has to be at its best.’ She thought and took meticulous care.“Valarie.” Her mom’s voice was louder.“Valarie are you ready?

That meant she was upset and he knew it.“I was just trying to understand.” He shrugged his shoulders as he bought the vehicle to a halt. He looked around. It was almost 1.30 A.M. There were none in the avenue that led to her house. She stayed in Bishop M. Avenue, one of the poshest areas of the city.“Hey, Listen, I am sorry.”“That is ok. You will not know how difficult it is for me when you try to bring up the financial status as one of the topics. Your dad owns a 2 crore property in Chennai, right? So economically speaking, you are not poor. Please don’t make me feel insecure by judging me based on the number of maids I have or the nail polish I use. “She looked at him, as she replied in a low tone.“I am sorry.” He held her chin.

“Are you sure there is one at the end of this street?” He raised his voice, just to make himself audible.“Yes, Carlos. I saw a two-wheeler repair shop there.” Valerie assured.Carlos changed from his formals to a t-shirt and tracks. “Hell with this Scooter.” He gritted his teeth. His scooter, which he had owned for the past one year, which even survived an accident a few days ago, was now starting to trouble him more. Yet another time, it failed to start even after filled-up up the Petrol tank, several kicks, and a couple of tilts.“Calm down.” She advised.“Don’t you see? I was almost ready.
