Valerie
Though it’s perfectly reasonable for Mr. Drakos to regard my behavior as a lubricity from a rapacious slave, and I had understood very well that there’s no right or need for me to explain. I still got a strong compulsion of sounding off and clearing for myself, caused by my useless ego.
But it would be more ridiculous if I did so, because I had the grievance against myself that I had absurdly behaved like a whore in front of that Alpha. I couldn’t really forget how tightly his body pressing against mine, the burning heat of that huge aroused maleness and a heavy scent of musk and woods easily intriguing my sexual desire. It felt like my treacherous body had taken the control of my brain and forced it to react lasciviously to his lure.
The feelings were still vividly clear when I had got back to the castle. Fortunately, the strenuous work offered me a best distraction, enabling me to retrieve calmness and tranquility in
ValerieMy heart flinched like being clenched by a strong force, a pain washing over my body making me trembled uncontrollably.I had no idea where this feel came from but it overwhelmed me instantly when I saw Xavier Murphy took the princess in his arm.A lump in my throat choked me and I couldn’t breathe smoothly.I heaved in anger, depression, hatred and jealousy, neither of which emotions were supposed to be mine. A strong impulse to leap up and slit the girl’s throat formed in my chest, and I had to dig my nails deeply into flesh to control myself stay still.Something was deeply wrong inside of me.My heartbeats didn’t slow down until they finally disappeared into the lounge. It was fortunate that I don’t have to serve in the lounge, otherwise I was pretty sure of lose my mind there.“Are you alright?” Benjamin came to me and asked in a concerned face when we were preparing th
Valerie I froze at the Alpha’s callous stare of inspection. He was obviously skeptical about of the two masters’ reaction to me. Rubbing my hands together anxiously, I swallowed the lump in my throat before stuttering, “I…I’m s…sorry, Alpha Felix—” “It’s not your turn to speak with an Alpha!” His tone hardened, as he cut me off, turned to Xavier and said in provocation, “Am I right, Alpha Xavier? I have never known that humans in the South would be so boorish.” The Alpha was apparently trying to sound Xavier out about his excessive attention on me. He
ValerieI should have been happy that I finally got what I wanted. But I wasn’t. Every time I thought about the disappointed eyes Mr. Lang glanced at me with before leaving, my chest was stuck with something sore and painful that prickled my heart as each breath I took. Maybe Mr. Drakos was right in his commentary on me. I was grabby, pompous and shameless. I couldn’t really tell right from wrong. What I had done was contradicting what I believed to be correct. I claimed that I loathed them all, all of those sup
Valerie Once the grand feast started, there’s no time for us to take a break. We had to bring out a mountainous plie decadent dishes of finest cuisine to all the guests with hearty smiles to show our respects. Celebratory chatters echoed in the air with flavors of delicious food. The guests, laughing and toasting in pride, all seemed to enjoy themselves, except a group of vampires seated near the Alpha families that, if I didn’t take it wrong, would be Mr. Lang’s relatives as Benjamin had mentioned, royal vampires from The Lang family. The wineglasses served in front of them were filled with animal bloods, which they seemed to have no interests in tasting. They didn’t talk, smile or even take their black robes off, as if they just came here for a rest stop. Despite their gloomy faces, they still got the decency not to flare in public. I had seen either Mr. Lang since the feast began. There’s a spare seat next to the only female vampir
Valerie Though the chaos had trailed off, the atmosphere was notably changed. The guests all looked strained and white, with no appetite for the cates served on tables. They seemed to force-feed themselves hastily in complete silence, not interested in chitchatting anymore. The explosive conversations they just made planted a guess in my mind. These three elderly peerage were obviously sharing a same secret that they were too fear to reveal in public. And the only possible incident, as we all knew, that might be relevant to both vampires and werewolves was the anti-human war. When the war began, I was only 10. It had lasted 3 years until humans finally surrendered, during which my family was constantly on a move. Even though the city we lived didn’t actually under military attacks, mom and dad insisted we should change our residences more frequently. They never explained in details why vampires and werewolves unexpectedly colluded to
Valerie I didn’t want to die. Though I did want to reunite with my family, I didn’t want to die like that. I couldn’t die at this point, when I was getting closer to the truth behind the war and my parents’ death, when I had new clues to the mystery behind myself. How could I die just now? I did my utmost to raise my arm and grabbed the coarse hand cupping on my throat. When the werewolf was distracted by it, I gathered all my strength to lift my foot and kick hard on his shin. With a groan in pain, he loosen the force on my neck and crouched down instinctively. I caught the opportunity to break away and rush towards the doorway. But suddenly, I thought about Benjamin. I couldn’t just leave him here. Looking back in panic, I saw Benjamin collapsed on the floor limply. I wasn’t sure if he fainted out or he had just been killed. And both werewolves now targeted at me for savaging, eyes blazing in anger.
ValerieThe closeness with Mr. Drakos made me tense especially we remained utterly silent on the way going downstairs. I tried to come up with some topics for a small talk so as to ease the awkwardness between us, but I finally gave up. There’s literally nothing I could “chat” on with either of the masters.I didn’t care about what they wanted, and I supposed they didn’t wanted to know what I cared about as well.It was out of my expectation that Mr. Drakos would have the mercy to save me from the wolves. And the favor I asked from him wasn’t just a whim. I was very skeptical of him, his presence and his intentions at this place.Apparently, he was more powerful than any of the known creatures in the region.I wouldn’t necessarily be suspicious if he hadn’t used the powers in front of me. Because no one else would be able to manipulate electronics, winds or fires, except the demons in
XavierThe place fell into silence while a storming rage was waging inside me. Ares was eager to come out, bellowing a furious growl in my chest. I could feel the muscles on my back being sore after tightening up for so long, eyes prickling and burning for prolonged staring at where she left.She would be intact under Sebastian’s protection. She would be safe without me.I knew it very well.But the extreme pain in my chest was devouring my sanity. I longed to stay by her side, touch her, kiss her, hug her, making her mine.I couldn’t.I couldn’t give up my responsibility as the Alpha of Red Moon Pack. And I couldn’t let her involve in the dispute either. Any trace of a clue showing she was my mate would endanger her life.I wouldn’t never allow that to happen.“Am I late?” Lucas appeared at the doorway, speaking with an amused voice, “Why so quiet?
LucasWhen I looked into her eyes, a rosy blush spread across her cheeks. I chuckled and gently pressed my lips to hers."Too late to feel embarrassed," I whispered against her breath."I... I'm not embarrassed," she mumbled, her eyes blinking. She averted her gaze, as if making eye contact was too strong for her. Her eyelashes danced like the wings of butterflies.I smiled. A surge of joy bubbled up within me. "Remember what happened last night?" I asked.Valerie's eyes widened, her blush now turning a deeper shade of red. She cleared her throat nervously and stammered, "W-What?""It seems that you don't remember," I said, "Well, I don't mind helping you recall. First, you touched your body to seduce me. Then—""No more details!" She extended her hands hastily and covered my mouth, stopping me from continuing.Teasing her always gave me a lot of enjoyment. I gently grabbed her wrist and brushed her skin as I started kissing her hand. She tried to pull away, but I wouldn't allow it."
ValerieLucas didn’t bite me. It was me who went out of control that night. And I didn’t realize what I had done until the next morning. When I woke up naked with Lucas, I found myself in shitty trouble. That night, the only thing I felt was exhaustion. I was extremely impatient with the discomfort in my body. My flesh was on fire, burning, flaring. Every inch of my skin felt like being nibbled by small bugs. They bit me in a rather tickling way. I touched my body in hasty, trying to find a way to stop it.But I couldn’t. I trembled and panted when Lucas put me somewhere soft and cool. I didn’t know where I was. I didn’t care. All I cared about at that moment was the man above me. He looked at me with those flaming eyes as I struggled to get away from his grip. My wrists were cuffed by his large hand. That’s disturbing. I snarled as I lift my head like a beast, threatening to dig into his flesh. But I wasn’t one of those wolves with sharp canines. My teeth were blunt. Lucas didn’t
Valerie This might be a wrong decision. The escape. But I didn’t have any other choice. Did I? The reason why I came here was simple. That’s the only place I could possibly get away from the wolf guards. They were afraid of getting close to this garden, the wolves. Just like they were afraid of Lucas Lang or any other bloodsuckers. Wolves had extraordinary olfaction. I supposed they had already found my trace, but didn’t dare to break in, especially on a night like this, with no blessing from the moon. The garden was nicely cultivated, remaining almost the same as last time. A fresh smell of rose and meadow hang in the air, trying to calm my nerves. It was romantic, I had to say. Lucas must be in deep love with a girl named Chelsea. Just thought about how he treated me, the one who he thought was Chelsea’s reincarnation. It wasn’t hard to find the pave to that beautiful statuary. Reaching out my arm, I brushed over the sleek surface of Chelsea. She looked at me with determined eyes.
ValerieAlyssa was rather candid or even blunt, to some extent. I supposed it’s not easy for people who had suffered from such a trauma like her to speak out their miserable stories in a frank way. But Alyssa, on the opposite, was eager to share.After being confined with the secret for so long, she desperately wanted someone to listen to her, comfort her and guide her, like a lamb missing her flock.Alyssa Woodland, as the only daughter of Alpha Felix, princess of the strongest north pack, was an Omega.“See, it was quite straight-forward, isn’t it?” She shrugged, trying to sound indifferent. But her voice was shaking as her eyes flared at me. “That’s why I can never inherit the throne. No wolf would be willing to submit to someone like me. Omega’s leadership? Fuck it! Even the most ordinary werewolf could easily topple it and put me to death!”Her utterance left me in complete shock
Valerie“Get into the bathroom!” Alyssa signaled to me while pressing her ear against the door to check the movements of guards.I darted into the small room on the right side, hiding myself behind the door which I left ajar for keeping an eye on what was going to happen out here.A hasty knock tense me up, goosebumps spreading across my arms.Alyssa opened the room door slovenly, grunting, “For god sake, do you guys know how late it is?”She sounded annoyed while pointing at the clock on her nightstand. “Don’t you understand that it’s very impolite for a guy to knock at a lady’s door after the sunset?” She grumbled.“Ms. Woodland, my apology.” The leading guard bowed respectfully, “We’re looking for a human slave who just escaped. Have you seen any suspicious human girl passing across?”“I know.” Alyssa rolled up her eyes,
ValerieI had stayed in this room for two days.Other than Samantha and the guards, I didn’t see anyone else coming, which I had no idea if it’s a good sign or not.Samantha had explained a bit more about the current situation of The Red Moon to me. Though she acknowledged very few about what had exactly happened, she gave me some useful clues to put together for the whole picture.She told me that Caser Murphy was never willing to hand over the crown but his physical condition had been deteriorating continuously after losing his left arm in the war. Shortly speaking, he had never been qualified for being an Alpha’s role.The Red Moon had been the greatest wolf pack across the continent for such a long time. Wolves would die for the becoming the leader of it. As upheavals grew intensively within the territory, they were in need of a new Alpha.Despite of Caser’s reluctance, he would still rather to cr
ValerieI regretted for my stupid hesitation.There had been enough time for me to explain my concern to Xavier that my parents could possibly be related to the horrible incident Amelia had experienced many years ago.But I spoiled it by being timid and reluctant.It’s my fault.When I plucked up the courage, the right opportunity had already slipped away, as a sudden knock broken up the peaceful tranquility abruptly“Alpha Xavier! Something emergent I have to report!” A hasty yelp of the guards came from the other side of the door.Hearing about this, Xavier frowned, his facing turning into a stern look.He tapped my hand softly and kissed my cheek, “I’ll be back in minutes. Stay here and wait me, Valerie. Whatever problems you are afraid of, we’ll always be together to face them.”Xavier eyed at me seriously before leaving the room.I had waited in compl
ValerieIt felt a bit awkward to have breakfast here alone with Xavier. I could sense his gaze was lingering around me all time, even if he was eating or drinking.He wasn’t inspecting me at all, just eyeing me fondly as if being possessive over something he treasured. But that did made me nervous, for my intention to make an utterance of my confusions and fears.But a strong emotion hesitated me. I was at a loss, deeply, wondering if that was the right occasion to put out my questions. I could hardly place my stare at him since what happened last night. It didn’t mean that I regretted what I had done with him.I just felt…embarrassed.As if noticing the oddity in my behavior, Xavier pulled me closer and asked me with a gentle voice: “What’s wrong?”I lifted my gaze to him before swallowing down the lump in my throat. I took a deep breath and said, “I have something to confess to yo
ValerieThe next morning I woke up, it was nearly at noon. I was wrapped up in a soft dry blanket, bathing the warm sunshine.My mind stayed blank for a few seconds, being baffled by the decoration in this room before I recall the memory of last night. The horny scenes made me flushed instantly.I couldn’t remember how many times we did, how many times I came and how I fainted out before the long-lasting sex finally finished.That was CRAZY.But I did remember when he carried me out of that room, reminding me of the ‘puddles’ I made on his bed. At that moment, I really wished I could bury my head in the sand like an ostrich.Then he held me in his arms and brought me here. It was one of his studies, decorated with a minimalism style. A large wooden desk was placed across the door, near which a cozy two-seat sofa stood in pair of a same-colored coffee table.But the small bathroom affiliated to the st
