VALENTINA

PACK OF LORE

Lucean sighed when I my glare did not waver, his expression stoning and a flitting red flashing in his gaze which made a snake of fear slither through my body. His disapproval obviously, but why I did not know so I just looked on at him in blankly.

“To claim your vengeance against Ryker first you would need to return to your strength.”

Teira sashayed into the room, her voice cutting straight into me like the sharp edge of a knife.

She picked up the journal from the table, closing the book and placing a hand on Lucean’s shoulder as her eyes settled in mine mockingly. “And even when you return to your strength Valentina, you will no be able to kill Ryker.”

Lucean’s fingers pinched the bridge of his nose, Teira giggled when my eyes remained on hers, and I had to clench my jaws to keep myself from saying anything as I tried not to get in a fluster.

She was openly mocking me. In her eyes all I was was a weak little wannabe who was lost and without a home.

Lucean made to speak, “Valen—” but I had stomped the heel of my boot so hard into the floor the impact made the plates on the table rattle.

Lucean scanned his eyes over the corners of the room and then back at me.

“I’M LEAVING!”

I said at once, stomping past them both and slamming the door shut. Behind me I could hear Lucean’s gruffer tone say something cautionary to Teira who only but laughed heartily. She was probably right that may not be able to defeat Ryker even if my ankle was fully healed along with the many fractures in my arms and ribs, but still.

‘In due time…’ my wolfs voice echoed in the back of my thought, her soothing yet fiery tone set a calm in me.

Once I trudged though the snow and back to Tiera’s cabin and slammed the door shut, twisting the lock and tossing the key against the wall. My anger still simmered in my blood but I solaced myself by ramming my fists into the ploft pillow and imagining it was Rykers face.

Having worked myself out I fell to my side. My eyes drifting shut, heavy with glum and tiredness.

Waking up was always the craziest part of rage sleeping, I pulled multiple strands of hair from my mouth, blinking as my vision adjusted.

My body felt like someone had filled me up with lead during my absent slumber and I got my answer with a ear-bursting scream.

Lucean jerked up, his eyes still on my body and hands still linked on his thighs. Scrambling for the bedsheet I threw it over my body (though I was fully clothed) my eyes finding the door that remained closed and locked.

“YOU CREEP!” I yelled, throwing the pillow I had previously assaulted at him and it bounced off his face, falling to his feet. He was comfortably seated on a single arm chair that looked like it was giving all it had to support his muscular size.

“I’m sorry if I offend you. I will leave.” He stood, backing me and making to the door.

“No!”

He stopped.

“How did you even get in here?” I asked, shifting off to the side of the bed where I let my feet touch the floor.

He sighed, folding his arms over his broad chest. “You’re living in ‘my’ pack Valentina of course I have the keys to every single house.”

“Ohh.” I pressed my palms to my face, noticing the way his eyes followed my every subtle movement.

“Why— How long have you been there?”

He sat back on the chair, expression flat.

“I have sat here for the whole six hours of your sleep, regulating the fire place and occasionally opening the windows to make sure the room remained at the right temperature.”

My jaws remained open, bewilderment holding my eyes to his.

‘What?’ My wolf yawned within. ‘So sweet of him.’ She thought and I took in a deep breath, expelling it loudly.

“I had wanted to come and apologize to you for what happened earlier, but when I came you were already asleep so I decided to wait.” Lucean’s voice was smooth like mercury, his tone sensual. The words literally flowed from his lips and implanted themselves in my thoughts. It baffles how someone of his size, whom from looks alone could intimidate anyone he met could also be so effortlessly caring, it almost sounded too good a thing for someone like him to do.

I hiccuped when he stood, walking too fast towards me and I would have shifted if he had not put his hand on my shoulder.

I hiccuped again when I felt his hand move up my side, my hand threatening to pull his arms away but a sharp look killed off the thought.

My wince was long and painful when he massaged against the swelling over my cracked rib, his fingers just carefully under my breast and I tried to focus on the pain that came with his massage rather than the invasive thoughts my wolf constantly probed into my mind.

“Why did Ryker attack your pack?” Lucean’s voice rumbled softly in his throat, his eyes steady on his hands beneath my gown.

I tried to keep my voice steady when I answered his question, a rise of emotion turning me blue. “He had attacked us. Our packs had been having remote disputes and I guess that could have been the motivation for his attack.”

“Hmm.” He growled lowly, his thumb rubbing on my skin slowly and though I tried hard not to my eyes found his periodically and that was followed by a rise of heat up my belly to my neck. “How long were you in his custody before… before me.”

My body stiffened when his hand caressed further my sides.

“About a month… the days went by so fast I had lost count at some point.” And I tried not to focus on the suffering I had endured during that time, the way Sara had risked her life to allow me escape that night. I owed it all to my best friend, my somewhat freedom from Ryker now and the fact I was even still alive.

“I’m sorry Valentina.”

I could not understand him, or why he apologized. The only thing I knew for sure was that he had requested I give him a baby at the time in the forest but even then I was not sure if he was just being darkly sarcastic.

I moved away from his touch when his hand came to rest on my bare thigh, a tingling warmth had come to settle in my belly, one that made my vision blur slightly as I focused my gaze into his then my eyes shifting to at the space in his unbuttoned part of his shirt that revealed his skin beneath.

“Am I a prisoner here? Lucean?”

His head cocked slightly to the side, his lips parting and closing so fast I thought I had only imagined it.

“No.”

“Say you had taken over my pack at the time of your failed attack. Would I have been held prisoner then?”

He furrowed his brows, thoughts cascading over thoughts behind his eyes as he searched for the right reply.

“Your father was a strong Alpha Valentina, I had realized that and knew it would be impossible to claim victory over him.”

Then my mind zoomed to Jayme, the time he had had his hand around my neck and the things he had said about his fathers death in the hands of mine and some uneasiness churned in my stomach.

“I am not your enemy Valentina. I know Teira might sound otherwise sometimes but trust me when I say, she had been this Teira long before I brought you here and her character towards you is not meant to be ill.”

When I did not say anything he sighed, taking me by the arm and gently pulling my body close to his, my ass solid on the smooth velvet until my elbow touched his side.

“What are you—”

A gasp left my lips, rendering me powerless when I felt his lips touch my forehead. Soft and gentle, the contact sent a wave or tingling nerves that radiated from my head down to my spine.

My chest tightened, a stiffness in my chest that only eased slowly as I breathed out.

It was only when he stood up that I looked into his eyes and for once there was no underlying hate at the base of my thoughts for him.

“I would make sure the person who had hurt you pays his due penance!” Lucean snarled angrily, however my body was yet to ease from its tense state and the most I could do I was keep my eyes on his, my wolf howling with a certain need that slowly coursed through my body and made my middle heat.

“I had ordered my sentries to scout the territories of your pack, they might bring back some goodnews.”

He left the room, and I caught myself lingering onto the pleasures of his scent.

All the while Sara kept on glancing at Lucean, she clenched her jaws, every muscle in her body tensed, eyes noting and following even the most minuscule of movements the large Alpha made.“He saved me Sara, if it wasn’t for him I…” my voice trialed off, my fathers limp body vividly flashing in my mind and it brought back chills colder than the snowy breeze that wafted in through the open window.“Let’s not think about that okay.” Sara said, her finger wiping away a tear I didn’t even know had rolled down my

The disgust on her face eminent.She stopped before our open door, her hands on her hips.“Teira… so good to see you again.” Sara said, her voice dripping with forced glee that Teira obviously detected.“I’m glad to see you’re finding our accommodation to your taste.” Teira’s voice as usual, cold and monotone. She turned to me with a smile that was more forced than the glee in Sara’s voice when she had spoke.“Ahh, Valentina. You must come help me with the preparations.”I could see some of the boys nervously eye her before sprinting past her in pure fright to the other end of the corridor, she was their commander and trainer I guess— who knew the horrors she put them through.“I-I don’t know what to do I’d never even heard

I cleared the distance between the intruder and myself, holding the dagger in both hands and raising it above my head, one thought of gore solely on my mind. But a sentry swung its tail, the force easily lifting me off my feet and sending me soaring backwards.

Looking out the window and sighing at the slow falling whites of snow that gleamed through the darkness. Sara slept quietly besides me and I made sure not to disturb her in anyway as I crawled off the bed and headed for the closet.Once out I dressed warmly, determined not to change my plans because of the weather or a goodnights sleep.I walked to the cabinet that stood innocently pressed against the wall and though I hesitated, a million and one thoughts of gore, blood and death running through my mind but I subsequently wrapped my fingers against the handle of the cabinets first drawer and opened it of. I sighed in self satisfaction when I saw it. Sara’s dagger laid single in the drawer. The silver blade of the ornate piece gleaming in the soft light from the bulb above.I picked it up, running my finger along the side of the blade and smiling at the touch of the cool me

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.

They stood just far enough so I couldn’t make our their face.

    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

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

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
