VALENTINAPACK OF LOREI was pushing around a piece of what Lucean called 'french toast' on a plate, half-listening to the sounds of Lucean lifting and resting down a glass of water every now and then as he drank from it. My stomach was full of the hearty breakfast he'd made us, and just as I'd almost finished it, my mind had begun to drift to what I had read in the newspaper.Suddenly, the noises from Lucean's movements stopped, and when I dragged my gaze from my plate, I saw that he had settled down his glass, and was watching me and appearing to be...waiting. I straightened in the chair, body shuddering when the back of my shoulders grazed the cold furniture."More northern packs suffer attacks." I told my mate, wiping my hands against a napkin, and then scrunching it up as Lucean nodded."I heard, the occupants having fleeing and choosing to move into the hidden Revolt Pack, yes?""They were forced to. They had no choice," I corrected quickly, and then questioned. "I always wonder
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREThe snow had stopped falling.It was the first thing I noticed after Lucean opened the front door to greet the sentries. My eyes looked up at the morning pink sky, and I shivered at the cold breeze that seemed to wrap around me. I could hear the faint sounds of birds chirping, and it seemed as if several people had shoveled around the area recently.Snow still remained on the ground, but it was nearly not as deep as it had been a few weeks ago, and many people were frequently passing by with little struggle through the snow.Hands suddenly reached forward to clasp my left hand and I jerked my attention to one of the male sentries. His own hands covered my own, and he held it gently as his head tipped downwards as he introduced himself; he was the one named Henri Williams.I heard Lucean shifting behind me as Henri spoke, but I quickly returned my focus on the sentries before me as I shook hands with the other sentries as more introductions took place.And then,
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREA horrid scent billowed from the oven in the kitchen, and my eyes watered as I held a hand over my nose, chest constricting as I still somehow managed to smell it. I could feel shame rising as I watched the oven, somewhat in horror and disbelief, and I crouched briefly to peer inside of it. My stomach seemed to drop to my knees after what I saw.I could hear Lucean's roar of laughter somewhere behind me as he looked on, and I gritted my teeth together, pausing to narrow my eyes at him despite my throat tickling as I resisted joining in with his laughter. The look I gave him only made him laugh harder, and with a sigh, I turned off the oven, slipped on some oven mitts, lowered the door of the oven and reached into it, flinching at the heat.I wrinkled my nose at the burnt and charred cookies on the baking sheet when I withdrew it and I grasped it in my hands for several seconds, looking at it in dismay before Lucean finally decided to step in and take it from me.
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREAfter tugging down his shorts, my teeth sunk into my lower lip, eyes lifting to Lucean's face and then lowering to my hand as I stroked along his warm length carefully and slowly. My gaze travelled up the hard, thick cock, wonderment and eagerness making me quicken the pace of my hand stroking him.Deep noises fell past Lucean's lips, and I smiled almost slyly as I felt his penis throb against my palm, my actions slowing teasingly until he growled, his hand lowering to grasp my own and urging me to pump him faster.I quickly came to understand the ways to stroke him that would bring him more pleasure, and enjoyed seeing the absolute and raw lust that rippled across his face with each touch I gave him.Lucean only released my hand when I stroked him at the pace he desired, and his fingers lifted and dug almost painfully into my hip. He cursed softly, his breath caressing my forehead, and his hips flexed when I ran a thumb over the head of his penis briefly,"Fuck
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREThe next morning, I listened halfheartedly as T'mara babbled on about a recipe she wanted to try. It was something regarding food for lunch, and she was directing most of her attention to both Jayme and Teira. Jayme looked utterly exasperated but Teira chose to place a polite smile on her lips.My eyes flickered to the necklace around T'mara’s neck, and I couldn’t help but notice that it was decorated with what looked to be fangs. I looked twice to ensure that they were truly fangs, but I didn’t bother to ask who they belonged to. I feared it may be slightly horrified if she revealed that to me.So I dragged my attention away from her necklace and to what Teira had mentioned to Lucean for me a while ago about a pack therapist. It had been incredibly sweet of her to do so, and I was thankful that she did. I now knew I had the option to visit the therapist if I chose to.There were many troubling memories I have of my pack, and they did affect me. I couldn’t deny
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREToday was slower than usual. I had spent most of the day reading a noble Teira had left for me under the pillow (I now slept and basically lived in Lucean’s room) and I had seen less of Lucean for most of the day.I had had breakfast and lunch with T'mara and Teira, both of who had entertained themselves with a comedy show T'mara had played on the tv. Once evening came I retired to the bedroom, popping into the shower to have a quick bath.I shrugged on the rather heavy, but comfortable thick bathrobe, hands working to tie the belt around my waist as I left the bathroom. My skin was still a bit damp from the shower, and I felt utterly relaxed after scrubbing my skin with soap and being soaked from the hot powerful streams of water.After tying the belt, I walked to the windows and began drawing back the curtains since they were blocking the penetration of light, and it was only after I turned around that I noticed that Lucean was in the room as well."Jesus!" I
VALENTINAPACK OF LOREThe feeling of bliss coupled with the dull ache below made me both smile and grimace as I felt Lucean wiping at my stomach with a cloth. I watched him for several seconds until I quickly decided that I needed to shower, again. A sheen of sweat covered my body, and I knew I wouldn't be able to rest comfortably in the bed until it was gone."Thanks." I mumbled to Lucean once my stomach was clean. I leaned forward, pressing a chaste kiss against his lips whilst taking the cloth from him and dropping it to the floor."Where are you going?" Lucean's voice was significantly deeper than what I had expected as I stood. I paused briefly to take up my towel and he then understood. Mischief shone in his honey eyes as he watched me walk to the adjoining bathroom.I barely managed to turn on the shower before I heard the clearing of Lucean's throat. I glanced over my shoulder to look at him, allowing a grin to cross my lips before I stepped into the shower, sighing in relief
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
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
