VALENTINAPACK OF LORE-Breaths heaving-Push, Pull-Scratch-Claw-Grip-Throw down-Grip! x x x x xThe door crumbled under my might and I stumbled inside the Alphas room, recoiling when Lucean’s scent hit me, strong, it activated some part of me, some part of me that wanted to doubt all this and simply walk away.His bed was left in a unruly mess with the sheets thrown down to the ground, in fact, everything was a little out of place as I noticed. The cabinet wasn’t perfectly pushed to the wall, the wardrobes locks were broken like he had opened it by forced as if by some motivation that couldn’t let him unlock it first.The arm chair was missing an arm, the rug on the floor ripped down the middle where I suspected the cabinet was pushed roughly against it and there was an imperfection in the white paint on the walls close to the ceiling as if someone had thrown an object into it.Altogether it was evident that someone had ransacked this room and did a poor job putting it back tog
ALPHA LUCEANPACK OF LOREMy footsteps quaked the manor as I stomped down the stairs. At first I had thought it to be an intruder, another stray or a spy that had gotten lucky but the moment I saw the strand, so thin it was almost unnoticeable on the grey tiles I just knew it was her. My mate. My Queen. Valentina.I had been out on a scouting operation. Valentina’s accusations against the intruder had been on my mind ever since and though there was no actual way to prove if he was working for my brother or not, I still took the earl tikes of the mornings to run scouts along the packs borders.Jayme caught up with me, his nose flared, aura seething with anger.“It must be another intruder Lucean!” He growled to me, wolf threatening to break out into its white fluffy cuteness that would totally wipe away the anger that made the other sentries squirm beside him.“You have to work on your wolfs angry face…” I said under my breath.“Whah?”“Nothing, umm, yes. It’s definitely another intrud
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREMy head weighed light, dizzy and disoriented the only thing I could truly mentally perceive was the thick smell of my own blood as it bled slowly out of me.Teira had pushed Sara away, ripping away the bodice part of her dress and tying it tightly around my waist. The pain had crippled me, my hand around Teira’s shoulder before in a fast popping of bones and a low growl I was being hoisted onto the back of Teira’s wolf by a weeping Sara.Teira did not ask many questions, maybe that was due to the fact that I was actively bleeding onto her fur or she had already deciphered what was going on, and what was going to happen next.When we got close off close to the community home but still well hidden in the tree line I felt Sara’s hand bring me down from Teira’s back and though I wanted to slap her hands away, to curse her out and tell her I never wanted to come across her again the pain from my abdomen made that impossible.“He’ll be here soon… I can feel him. I mus
LUCEANPACK OF LOREI had lost track of time, minutes easily slipping into hours, hours into days, days into weeks. A part of myself comfortably gone and lost with her.A fast rap on my offices door jolted me from my distant thoughts and I grunted to let whoever it was known they could come in.I didn’t need to turn to know who it was, the sentry commander stepped in.“Umm, we’ve scouted all free routes and sent sentries to every pack in the said radius…”“And..?” I asked, my voice low, eyes watching small flakes of snow sail to the ground.“There’s no sign of here Sir.”I sighed, pain making my heart heavy.“Run it again…”“Sir I’d recommend at least a days rest for the wolves, they’ve been at this operation relentlessly for a weeks now—”“Commander must I remind you who’s the Alpha of this pack?”“No sir, of course I say everything with utmost respect—”“THEN DO AS I SAY!” My hand crashed into the desk I sat upon, a crack shooting across the hard wood.“Go go… give the wolves two da
VALENTINAREVOLT PACKA week went by since Kent’s annoying presence and I had seen less of Sara and more of Moniq. I had frankly enjoyed the warns woman’s company, apparently she enjoyed spending long times taking care of a large fruit and vegetable garden situated in the back of her and her mates home.I watched as she watered the plants and pulled out little grass weeds that happened to germinate along side her carrots.“You hungry darl?” She asked, her gentle voice pulling my mind away from the Pack Of Lore and back into the Revolt Pack.“Yes Moniq I’m… I’m good.”She looked at me with warm eyes and I looked away, feigning interest in a tomato plant, it’s red fruits round and looked succulent."So you mind explaining what happened back in the Lorean pack?" She asked softly. I moistened my lips, hesitating briefly but eventually spoke, knowing that the sooner I had the conversation over with her, the better.Moniq listened on patiently, not interrupting once, which I was thankful fo
VALENTINAREVOLT PACKI had woken up quite in a very happy mood. Made a quick cup of coffee then one for Sara who hung onto her dreams, not eager to wake so early as she usually used to. I could tell our conflict and Jack being here had greatly weakened and troubled her so put her cup of coffee in the off microwave so it didn’t cool so fast.Pacing about the living room, I had expected Kent to come as early as the seventh hour but there was sign of him. I went out, looking across the community compound in hopes to spot his black coat contrast with the lightly falling white snow but still no sign.When a knock came from the door I sprinted to it, pulling the door open and brimming at whoever it was, my enthusiasm dropping when I met the eyes of the nurse.“Miss Valentina.” She lowered her head in greeting and I did the same, letting her through and wanting this to be over as quick as possible lest Kent was to apparate at the door.I took a seat on one of the sofas, unwrapping the banda
VALENTINAREVOLT PACKI sat in silence, the quarrels from the councilmen raging on and somehow to me it only felt right that I got the scorn I deserved. While one of them defended my actions, the other two bellowed and howled against him; them both looking like they wanted to chew his head off for saying anything in my favour.But having now knowing that I had betrayed them, my people and everyone who had been counting on me. The only thing I could do now was make it right.Khan raised a fist into the air and the barking silenced immediately. He had a serious look on his, his eyes darkening.“I’m afraid this matter is out of our hands then.” He said dismissively and I rose, confused.“No, isn’t your Revolt Pack the one that aids others when in need or in crisis?.” I turned to the councilmen, speaking more softly now so they actually listened to the sincerity in my voice. “I failed you all, I failed the Mercury Moon Pack, I failed my father and most importantly, I failed as an Alpha. Bu
VALENTINAREVOLT PACKI sat on the floor, back against the wall as the sentry spoke, every word unwinding the twisting past life of Lucean and Ryker and when the sentry stopped speaking all I could do reckon.So much I had not known, so much I still sought for confirmation but only from Lucean’s lips.“You see princess… there’s a lot even your own father had kept from you.”Totally ignoring the sentries voice I pushed to my feet, the light from the small cellars window had dimmed significantly indicating it was about the nineteenth hour of the day. I turned away from the sentry, making for the main doors.“Wait, how about what we promised? You said you’d free me if I told you what I knew!” He said to me, slamming his fist against the cell bars.Pausing on my track, my eyes looked him over my shoulder. “No, I said I’d consider it… I’m still considering it…”“You liar!” He roared, eyes reddened.“Coming from someone like you, that’s a big accusation.”With that I walked on, the curses a
ALPHA VALENTINAPACK OF LORE[SIX MONTHS LATER]Loud music boomed from the pack mansion. A celebratory occasion for the joining of all lands from the north to the central.Following the end of the war and with Jafarr’s help once he had awoken from his coma, I had regained control over my pack as its rightful heir. All the packs from the north to the central, where Lucean’s pack is situated had formed into a single alliance, each keeping their respective leaders but all functioning under one United Pack Nation.Lucean’s arms wrapped around my stomach, and I nestled my head on his chest.“Never knew you liked staring out the balcony, alone, at the twenty second hour…”“You’re kidding me right… I was on the roof the first time we met!”And he laughed so loud, but only carefully caressing my budged belly.“You really going to keep me guessing?” Lucean asked and I felt his lips on my neck.I smiled warmly. “Evelyn told me it’s a boy and a girl. We are having twins baby.”He was silent for
ALPHA LUCEANMERCURY MOON PACKI only forced myself to all my fours again when my spine had popped back into place.The ferocious growls from my mates wolf stunned and surprised me as her smaller form ravenously attacked my brothers silver wolf.I marveled at her beauty, Valentina had morphed into a grey wolf with white paws and a white tail, having grey along her back with sheening grey eyes. I only lunged forward when Ryker had her on her back, his maw going down upon her and that’s when we collided.‘GO VALENTINA!’ I linked to her as I tumbled over my brothers mass.We were Both back to our feet in no time. Rykers silver gleam raged.‘Brother…’ I linked to him.‘Luci…’ He linked back.‘I know how you feel, I know you feel betrayed—’‘Felt! I felt betrayed! Now I all I feel is rage.’‘We can still put this all behind us! Please Ryker, we are family!’‘Family died when I was abandoned to the hands of a mad man, not even a single act of avengement.’‘Ryker… we don’t have to do this…’
VALENTINAMERCURY MOON PACKI had drifted in and out of consciousness. My eyes blinking open before I would pass out again.I heard footsteps fade in and out from outside the cellar doors but in the confused state of mind that I was in it was hard did me to tell in what I was hearing was even real.When the door cracked open again someone slipped in. They stood just far enough so I couldn’t make our their face. The person drew closer and I flinched when I felt their hand hold my face.“So it is you…” The person said, betraying a hint of doubt.I knew this voice, and not from the cherry times before Ryker killed my parents or from the merry times I’d spent in the pack of Lore. But from another time, a time where I had been in this game scenario; chained to the ceiling by the wrists.“Jhamal?”x x x x xWhen my hands were snapped free I fell to my knees, pain aching through all my muscles.“Where— How— why—”“I fled after your mate had rescued your back then, stayed low with a pack of s
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREI trailed my fingers up and down the hilt of the dagger T'mara had given me earlier today. For the fourth time, I admired it, especially the sharpness of the blade. I had already accidentally pierced the skin of my fingertip after Teira had handed it over, and could see a small cut on my forefinger when I glanced at it.I carefully lifted the dagger up from where it'd been resting on the desk, bringing it close to the fireplace as I continued to look it over; It was beautiful.The red color that decorated the black hilt shone bright under the glow of the flames from the fireplace and I could see that T'mara had put much effort into making it. I felt comforted with it in my hands, and knew it could serve well in protecting me.Walking across the room, I decided to place it carefully into an empty drawer for the time being. Oddly enough, I felt almost vulnerable with it not on my being, and my fingers itched to take it up once more.Evening came fast and the sound
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREThe atmosphere in the woods became almost ominous the further we walked. The voices of the sentries dropped significantly, and a quick look around showed that they were all staring ahead, not particularly at anything, with intense expressions of concentration, which only grew when we came to a halt.The stock-still bodies of the sentries didn't sway in the strength of the wind like mine almost did, and I could see some of the sentries fingers twitching, as if resisting an urge.By then, unease had unfurled in my chest. I glanced at T'mara, and immediately she placed a finger against her lips, the color of her eyes which usually mirrored her son's glazed over, an almost wet look in them. Alarmed, I looked at Lucean, however, he was the picture of calmness.His arms were folded across his wide chest, warm eyes almost languidly looking around us before settling on me. Immediately, he straightened from where he'd been propped against the tree, becoming concerned at
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREMy hand immediately lowered to the pistol in the depth of my coat's large pocket, and I backed towards the car as the sentries moved to stand before Sara and myself, bodies tense and eyes wide with alertness.I could see Arie leaning against the railing of markets wall, arms lifting to fold across her chest as she watched the advancement of the sentries."I recognize you." A male sentry pointed a finger at Henri as he spoke, a sly smile lifting his lips and eyes glittering dangerously. The male was Jayme's height, which was very tall, and his body was lean and well muscled. His blond hair was slicked back and seemed to gleam under the afternoon sun."You're from that Lorean pack," The blond-haired sentry paused a few feet away from the sentries, and he rested a hand against his hip, cocked his head. "You were in a meeting with an Alpha, Lucean I believe, a year ago."Henri said nothing, and tension cracked in the air. My lower back grazed the boot of the vehicle
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREMy eyes fleetingly followed the movement of the door as it opened, and I smiled brightly up at the man who stood behind it; Jack. His expression was grim as he looked upon me, Teira and then Jayme.Jack sighed heavily before stepping aside, gesturing with his head that we enter his home.Immediately I took notice of the strong scent of soup, and my eyes landed on several steaming bowls on a kitchen table, which Sara stood beside."Good day," She called to me, lifting a small spoon and dipping it into one of the bowls. My gaze went to Jack who stood stiffly and almost awkwardly in his living room, his eyes darting between Teira and Jayme, who stood close by me."Good day to you too," I greeted Sara, walking to her and peering down at the bowls. Brown liquid filled them to the brim and I saw several small potatoes and sliced carrots resting in it. Sara immediately dropped her spoon and pushed one of the bowls towards me."Jack made soup for everyone. Would you lik
VALENTINAPACK OF LORE"Is that a pistol?" Sara asked, widening eyes lowering to the weapon in my hand after I stepped outside with her. Her arms were wrapped around her stomach, almost as if she was comforting herself as she continued to stare at the gun.Her face, which had looked distressed even before we had stepped outside, grew even more bleak at the sight of the dark pistol in my right hand."Yes. It is," I licked my lips after the cold weather made them dry and glanced behind Sara to see Jayme walking by. His head lowered in a nod as he caught me watching and I returned it before he walked out of sight, sentries trailing after him.Throughout the week that had passed after I'd had dinner at Clover's home, Jayme and I had begun talking amicably for long periods of time. There was no tension between us, and I at times either found myself being amused by him or impressed by his work-ethic.I looked at Sara. "What did you want to speak to me about?" I asked, knowing that the secon
VALENTINAPACK OF LORE"Are you certain that you don't want this?" I offered Teira a bowl of stew for the second time. She curled her upper lip and eyed the bowl I held up towards her.Teira's arms were folded behind her back, and she stood near the walls of the home, with Henri now by her side.Jayme was casually walking around the room with FredNeok trailing along behind him, and Elle was sitting stiffly in a rocking chair, back straight and eyes piercing as she looked over each individual seated for what seemed like the seventh time since she arrived at the home, which had been ten minutes ago."No thank you. I generally tend to prefer my food being a bit more...raw." Teira flashed a strained smile as she said this, showing her fangs."You ate T'maras’ casserole, though." I pointed out."I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings by refusing.""Do you not care about hurting my feelings when you refuse the generous bowl of stew I took out for you?"Teira's eyes narrowed whilst I smiled in
