Valerie blinks her eyes open and feels immense pain all over her body. She whimpered when she felt the silver chain around her wrists and she cried out feeling it burning into her skin. She tries pulling against it even though she knew it would burn deeper in her wrist. She stops struggling to look at her surroundings. She remembered that she can link to her mates."Lucas? Leam? Can you hear me?""Valerie! Where are you?" Lucas said almost immediately."Are you okay, Val?" Leam ask.
••Leam First Person Pov•••It's been a long time since I had cried last but seeing the way Valerie looked and feeling the pain of my brother, I couldn't help but break down. With how long Valerie has been in her coma isn't helping. It's been a couple of months since the brutal kidnapping of Valerie. We know she was still alive because she responded to Lucas's voice and mine. Sometimes it was a twitch with her fingers or her eyes. My favorite was when I saw a ghosted smile on her face responding to our voice.My brother didn't want us to do the plan without her considering she was a big part of it. The worst part about this, my brother has been so sad. He doesn't chuckle at my jokes any more or even break a smile. It was probably because I'm not acting normal either. We knew once sh
Valerie opened her eyes and smiled. She was healed now and her body didn't hurt anymore. She slowly sits up to find Lucas and Leam gone. They must be in the office she thought to herself. She hops off the bed and goes into the bathroom turning on the warm water. She slips her clothes off and steps in the warm stream of water.She brushes her hair out of her face and her eyes land on the long scar on her stomach. She slowly traces it with her finger. She looks at the glass door and watches the disoriented reflection of herself appear. She faces her back to the showerhead and continued to trace her scars. All of these scars.. make her ugly. They make her hate her body and Leam and Lucas, probably do too. She thought to herself and rakes her hand through her tangled hair."You are perfect the way you are Valerie. We would never ha
Valerie had always been an outcast since she was abandoned at the Nighthowler Pack at a young age and was favored by the Alpha, Raymon. For what reason, she doesn't know. He treated her differently from everyone else, special treatment basically. So everyone grew to dislike her. Whispering about her on the dirt streets about her."Oh did you see that the little whore that was dropped here has lost so much weight?""Yeah, she looks like a twig!""Have you noticed her weird eyes?""Yeah! What's with the green in them? That is not normal for a werewolf!"So Valerie gained weight, becoming too fat."Did you see how much weight the pretty Princess gained?""Oh my god, yeah she looks like a hippo!" Unfortunately, nobody knew what all the special treatment was for, or that Raymon liked her with more body fat. It gave him more to cut, slice, burn, and carve into. He was sadistic and abusive, in general, and of his power as the Alpha. When Valerie became 14 years old...she stopped appearing in
Valerie gazes at the painting and photographs on the walls. She stops and looks closely at a photo of her mates when they were younger. Broad smiled on their face holding up an animal of some kind that they had caught with their own hands since they were clearly too young in this photo to shift. She smiled at the portrait as she moved to the next photo. It was a younger looking Khloe standing with the two younger Alphas and their father. Wait a minute... is she their mom? No, if she was their mom wouldn't Leam and Lucas call her 'mom'? Valerie jumped when Khloe called out to her. "OH! Sorry.." She catches up to Khloe who was standing next to a door. Khloe opens the dark wood door and Valerie looks into the room. There was a California king-size bed in the middle of the room. Valerie steps into the room and gazes around."I remember when they were still young. They had fights about who would treat their mate better. They would always start with ‘I will treat my mate well.’" Khloe says
Valerie wakes up in Leam's arms. She smiles softly at the feeling of his arms wrapped around her.“Oh.. I could get so used to this.” Her wolf cooed as Valerie softly ran her fingers in lazy patterns on his arms as she enjoyed the feeling. She realized this was the first time she didn’t feel any fear towards them. She yawns and tries to slip from Leam's grip but his grip tightens around her waist. "Don't move." He mumbled to her."Why?" She felt her lips tug upwards once more."Why?! Because I'm comfortable!""Where is Lucas?" His grip tightens."Why?" His voice was hoarse in a sexy way making Valerie feel warm inside. "I was just wondering where he-" Next thing Valerie knew she was on her back and he was on top of her. "But I am right here. Are you going to ignore me?" He asked as he caressed her face. His eyes looked at her curls as he played with some of them before meeting her eyes. "I..um, of course not. I was-" He cuts her off with a rough kiss and she begins to tear up as an
Valerie looks down at the books that were placed in her hands by Leam. The top book's title said 'How To Be A Good Luna' in gold letters just like the alpha book. She runs her fingertips over the letters on the cover while Lucas and Leam watched her reaction.“Our mom wrote these. She made it so we could give it to our mate if she wasn’t an alpha’s daughter like her. The one you were looking at.. Our dad passed it down to us. It has been passed down for generations… but you.. Are the first generation for our mother’s book.” Lucas explained. "I can't," Valerie said softly "I can't take this from you. It was your mother's. What if I ruin them or something?" Lucas puts his hand on her left shoulder as Leam slowly slid a hand on her other shoulder as well. "We trust that you won't. Besides, you might need it before you become our Luna." Leam says. Shivers go up and down her spine when she hears him say 'our'. She hadn’t even thought about that part. How her mates were the alphas of a pac
Valerie wiggles out of her mates' arms trying not to wake them. She runs to take a quick shower and gets dressed for the day. She peeks out of the bathroom to make sure they are still asleep before slipping out of the room.Valerie wiggles out of her mates' arms trying not to wake them.

She decided to make a big breakfast for them, something she found herself doing often. She wasn’t sure why. If she was honest she didn’t really know how to cook when she first arrived but apparently she had a natural talent for it. She makes pancakes, sausage, bacon, toast, and eggs. She was standing at the stove and jumped when she felt arms wrap around her waist. She felt a chin rest on her shoulder and she looked to see who it was. It was Leam and he still looked tired."What are you making?""Food." Vale
