Valerie's POV
I didn't try to take a glimpse behind me until I reached Alpha Haye's office doorstep. I guess I had beat the 30 seconds if he doesn't have his mysterious clock which will do not go my way.
I dare not do unto his office that way without a knock on the door, it will just make me take some more painkillers because I will get bruises from intense wiping. I did the mild knocking as usual and a pup looking like Peacock cane to be the door open. I have to be around a cruel and destructive Alpha like Hayes.
"Ooh! Here come the idiot whom we will make a meal out of the night" Alpha Hayes addresses my presence and I thought mentally, when did I become a meal or have a characteristic of a grilled chicken or spicy crab? Still wallowing in my thoughts. I heard that clearing, Brooks, and two c
Alpha Hayes' POV RECAP "Do you say I should be careful and scared for what please exactly? Why do I have to be afraid I am an Alpha, one of the strongest, if not the strongest of my time. Hear me and hear me well old man seer I will be right here in these pack waiting for whatever or whoever this may be, I am not going to be scared away. Alpha Hayes growled. "You don't know how severe this is, you should be scared of the unknown" the seer answered with a low tone shivering in fear. "What the hell is this whole talk from this old fellow. He didn't just say I should be scared of so, so and so of a thing but the whole thing has no name or face yet he warns. Scared of the unknown? not me and not even will it ever be said of me
Valerie's POV "Valerie go put on something attractive and meet us at the packhouse hunt, your husband is coming to meet you" I heard Luna speaking behind me right from the top of the staircase as she walks down. I thought, ooh, she is already aware that a peeing man is going to be my husband but that's not my problem. My room is far away from me, I am so exhausted to go and change into better clothing as Luna ordered and I don't know how to tell her. Then I thought I should have been notified about all this before now, this is wickedness. One is asking if I want him or not. "Luna, am I not even permitted to have short notice beforehand? I hadn't even said I want a husband to anyone so why do I have to meet someone my mind isn't made up on yet," I asked feeling irritated.
We had left the emotional scene where I saw a man as cute as ever and he is the husband who was invited to see me. I had to try to calm myself after he tried to remind me of my pack and the death they had suffered at the hands of his dictator ruler, Alpha Hayes. I met Tristan on his back from the packhouse hunt where the introduction meeting will be held. I watched Tristan approaching me and I am nervous.I shouldn't be feeling that way because I am about to meet my soon-to-be-husband, who is been forced on me. Cut that Veda, that is not a need to be nervous. I pep talk myself mentally. It is either you accept him or not or he accepts you and dies. A part of me said but I am nervous, I want to look presentable at least to get the attention of the other male werewolf in the pack. I and Kaye made this plan long ago and we hope the moon goddess stays on our side but despite everythin
The same whole pack took me off my father's pack in a pull of blood. Why won't they want to make me believe they got my back? They are getting rid of me, that is what this means and not anything better like the Alpha painted with his elaborate speech.This is not as sweet as I have been convincing me for it to be, no they are finally getting rid of the disgrace, the mess of the pack. I was beginning to think the Alpha has finally had its way on me. He had finally tried to trick them to believe he is meaning well for me but I know we are just getting to begin the real battle now. I will not have myself but down any longer as trash in the hands of people who only want to see your end and nothing more. They will all know what they have made of me soon, very soon. I stood still glaring at the faces of everyone but I could only feel my heart raging in fury like a tiger who is thirsty f
Valerie's POVIt wasn't even up to 12 hours yet after my awful and tongue-latching conversation with my forced groom, Mr. Dickiehead. I woke up to see an unusual atmosphere in the pack. I was in doubt about what was happening so I did my morning business, as usual, thanks to Keya for waking me up early because I was sure not I was going to be up that early after the headache and emotional pain I felt last night from the words of Dickiehead.I had to try to find a way to get my mind and soul back because I was drowning in an ocean of emotional torment. I had never thought a man could have such a thought about a lady he was supposed to be thinking of how to please her when she finally accepts him. Rather the complete opposite happened. I was going to quench like a flaming fire.My goodness! how c
Valerie's POVThe morning of the actual day. I was didn't think everything was alright when I met Tristan at the ceremony ground and the way he looked at me. I am being to feel that a am the worst dressed person today. You know need to confirm that to me just the looks are enough, so if I can get such a look from people who aren't interested in me then what will Dickiehead say to me.I think it would before probably going to leave me frustrated and wanting to commit suicide this time but, hell no. I am way past thinking of committing such an evil thing to my soul. I will not let him take his way anymore on me. He is human and I am human. He has a wolf and I am of less but to me, it doesn't matter anymore. I have has enough of this torment and it just has to end first with this good-for-nothing Dickiehead, who thinks he is all that the last needs to make their li
Bradley's POVRECAP (Valerie's POV)"I see his eyes and make sure not to meet them, and I put my fist onto his nose to eliminate any vision he might have had. He’s hurt, but I keep going. I need to make sure he can’t move by the time I’m done with him. I can smell how scared he is. It pours out of him. It reaches up and stuffs itself into my nose. I see his eyes and make sure not to meet them– he doesn’t want to be associated with this. He is doing it out of duty, for Alpha's good. It’s not something he takes pleasure in. He might even be ashamed of it."Please do kill me, who are you and why are doing this to me?" He begged continuously. I didn't care about his cry. No one will even dare to
Bradley's POV "No, Valerie, don't misunderstand me. I will always get your back, okay" I said, then I tugged at Valerie's hand as we started making out of the hunt-like meeting house. Valerie suddenly lost her balance. I caught her just in time. "What happened?" I asked concerned… "I think I had sprained my ankle but it is fine" Valerie tried to wave the pain away from me knowing she has hurt it I was going to five into her trick. I picked her up in a bridal style and her hands wrapped around my head but then lowered my trunk to examine her ankle. Looking for any kind of injury. "Bradley, what are you doing?" Valerie asked "You have managed to sprain your pretty leg, we have to make it better. I guess the
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
Ruth saw the despaired Valerie in front of her. They decided to meet for lunch. Valerie delayed and they were there at 2.30 P.M.The waiters were removing the heat chafing dishes off the buffet burner, as the lunch buffet ended.A glass board shimmered in bright lights, highlighting the day’s special menu.Under the date, which was written as 5th of March, there were a series of the day’s special menu.Devil potato, dragon baby corn, and honey chili cauliflower topped the list.Ruth saw Valerie doodling in the menu card with her fingertip, with her thoughts struck somewhere.“Just make it two fried rice.” Ruth saw the waiter leave. “One devil potato too.“ Rut
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 of
"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? We just have less than half an hour.” Anu spoke as she peeped inside her daughter’s room.“Almost there mom.” Valarie looked at her reflection in the mirror again. Her green saree was intact as she draped it tightly with
“Cheese?” Jonathan asked as he was looking at his mobile.“Jonathan, for the third time, I want caramel popcorn.” Valerie looked at him puzzled as he was still meddling with this mobile.“Sure, you don’t want cheese on it?” Jonathan still looked at his mobile.There was a sudden silence. When he looked up he saw Valerie glaring at him.“I asked to do whether you want cheese flavor.”“For the fourth time, I want caramel popcorn.” Valerie shook her head.They were there for a movie on a relaxed Sunday evening.The whole theatre broke into hysterical laughter when the stand-up comedian appe
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. He tried to con
“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. I had to change to my casuals again to get this stupid vehicle repaired.
It was her mind playing a fast one on her because there was nobody in the sitting room, she tiptoed to go to her room to pretend she had been in her room because she knew there was someone at home, so she bent down to pick her shoes so that her footstep won't be heard but then the witch Aunt Ava as fondly called by her was right in front of her stretching herself, Valerie knew she was in deep shit. Luna Vanessa didn't get any better with the turn out of events, she felt the whole thing would be a thing to laugh at, but then "who was that beautiful girl I slapped" she thought. "Where have you been, I have searched everywhere for you, the whole compound is full of dirt, the ground is not mopped and the dogs are hungry " shouted Ava who derived pleasure in seeing Valerie in pains and suffering, she knew everything was in order, and that the whole compound had been swept, but she wouldn't blink an eye if
"Valerie, Valerie, Valerie" Damien called from behind, Valerie waited for him to get close to her"I'm sorry Val" for that is what he calls her when he is remorseful, she Smiled and hugged him and they continued their journey home, just then She remembered Ava and her parents, for some time, she completely forgot about them, she didn't tell anyone she was going to a party because her parents had traveled and Aunt Ava was supposed to be out of town, I hope she is still out she thought, so she hurriedly walked home with Damien, she was happy he came and apologized to her, she was happy that someone saw something good in here still have my friend back she said to him, they spoke about the disaster, the party, her awkward dressing, and Sky until they parted ways to their various houses, Io Valerie, it was an interesting journey home because of the relief she got from Damien, but it was a day she would never forget even in a hurry.
