Ruby's POV

"HERE ma'am." Runita, my maid, dropped the glass on the table near me, bending as she made sure it was balanced before standing upright a few feet away from me.

"Anything else, ma'am?" She asked politely.

I shook my head, no.

She bowed slightly before scurrying away, back into the house. She knew when I was in a mood like this, I didn't want any interruption from anyone. I picked up the glass she had placed on the table, twirling it between my fingers as I watched the smooth dark brown liquid flow this way and that, I became lost in thoughts.

A few days ago, the news of Damien Griffin's death circulated the entire city, and even though my spies in the Council had informed me that something fishy was going on there, it was the last thing I had expected to hear. I didn't even think that Valerian had the guts to carry out such a gruesome act, but then again when it comes to power, you can't exactly hope that people will be unfazed.

When I first heard it, I was in disbelief so

    Elena’s POVThe past few weeks have been peaceful but as the norm in my life, once I enjoy a little bit of peace it gets taken away from me. So I just enjoy this period of calmness for as long as I can while waiting for the other shoe to drop.Even Valerian has been very attentive towards me, I think I kind of scared him with how I reacted when he first came to see me after the incident happened.Every evening, or should I say most evenings he comes around and we take a walk through the gardens chatting about mundane things. Sometimes we don't even talk at all, we just stay there hanging around each other in comfortable silence. I liked that, I liked it so much I was scared, as I didn't want to get used to it. Used to him.He's been acting so sweet towards me, making sure I'm comfortable at every turn, sending random gifts my way, I think he's trying to make up for the guilt he felt for abandoning me the way he did.Slowly, he began dropping hints of me and him being together and eve

    Zayn's POVI SAT on a chair overlooking the activities going on below, watching people mile about engaging in various activities.Loud music was booming from the invisible speakers that had been set up in various sections of the house. I was throwing one of my famous parties and of course, almost everyone was in attendance. Some people thought I threw it because I was bored but it was actually for another purpose, unknown to some people I was waiting patiently for something.I brought my glass to my lips, tipping it towards my mouth without lifting my gaze from what was going on downstairs...only for me to find out that it was empty. I lifted my glass to a couple of meters away from me and a girl kneeling on the ground beside me, wearing nothing more than a piece of cloth around her privates, holding a glass of bourbon in her hands hastened to fill it back up.Taking a sip of the extremely smooth blend of bourbon -one of my favorites- and savoring the burn as it went down my throat, I

    Valerian's POV My alarm beeped twice causing me to pry my eyes open, as I rolled over to my bedside table to stop it. Instead of getting up immediately as I'm supposed to, I took a moment to lay down in bed and relax, mentally and physically gearing myself up for today. Nowadays, I cherish the moments I have as a Valerian- which are so few and far between, before putting on the responsibility of the Alpha King in front of my people to serve them. Honestly, it is a tasking job. My father made it seem easier than it was, probably due to his added years of experience but it wasn't, half the time I'm barking orders at people for them to obey while the other half I'm wondering if those decisions I made are the right ones. It's one thing to rule, govern or handle a section of people or a particular position in the city but for you to be responsible for thousands of lives, knowing full well any careless decision you made would have a ripple effect on them, it was a big deal. But it was wh

    Valerian's POV"What is it?" I asked, my voice low and my expression neutral, not wanting to give anyone a clue that something was going on."Nothing." His voice was curt, his eyes darting about."It's not nothing, you've wound tighter than a cable bind. Is something wrong?" I object."I told you this wasn't the right time to hold this feast or celebration." This again. Let's just say Jared wasn't my number one supporter when I decided to throw this little shindig, he kept insisting that it was too soon, and we needed to use all our energy to watch out for our two creeping enemies or any other enemies we might have gathered along the way. But I reminded him that it wasn't supposed to be prolonged too much, no matter how peculiar our situation is.Partly why I was doing this was because there has been so much unrest and chaos in the city, everyone is tensed up and this is an avenue for you to come, relax, and forget that temporarily."I know, but it had to be done," I said firmly, my

    Valerian's POV Elena had disappeared after the whole thing had gone to shit, minutes after Jared started ushering people out. Immediately, I wanted to go and see if she was doing okay- not that I expected her to be but one could hope. My attention however was called to another matter which I had to resolve immediately. Some of our guests had gotten upset and I had to quickly soothe them and offer a solution while Jared discreetly sent people away, directing them somewhere else and making promises of getting something done. I couldn't hear him clearly because he was far from me. Slowly, people started trickling out one after the other leaving the place empty as they muttered about the turn of events and the blood, their eyes glancing at the food which lay wasted and the blood-drenched chairs and decorations. It looked like a horror movie came to life here. When the hall was almost empty, I passed Jared intent on making my way up, where I suspected Elena might have fled to. "And w

    Valerian's POV I sighed and turned to leave but stopped when she suddenly spoke out. "I..?" "Yes?" I inquired curiously, anxious to hear what she wanted to say. "I just remembered I saw a lady with a white dress dripping red walk into the room in the left wing. I just remembered because she said she didn't want to be disturbed by anyone." "Which room?" "The third." I thanked her and made my way to the part of the building she described. As I was walking, I was thinking about Elena and the back and forth that we have been having ever since I brought her here. To be honest, I was a little bit tired myself. It was becoming an almost every time occurrence that something would happen to drive us apart just when we started becoming close... and it would be so easy to just give up like that, but something kept me going. My father used to regale me with his stories of my mom, back then when he was still accessible. He would tell me about the trials they had to face before they could b

    Elena's POVInwardly, I gasped when Valerian opened himself up to me. Showed me his gifts and abilities, the sheer skill it took to seamlessly form a pathway between two minds and not only communicate but share feelings and emotions.When I was able to grasp the depth of the emotion he felt for me, tears pricked the back of my eyes and my throat felt scratchy."Valerian….." I gasped out, overcome with emotion and his beautiful eyes opened to look at me, all his love shining through. I didn't know how or what to feel, especially when he has opened himself up to me like this, made himself vulnerable and I'm still keeping secrets from him.Secrets I know would hurt him when he eventually finds out. Which is why I must leave now, no matter how painful it would be to us both.I knew that Zayn and Ethan would stop at nothing to get me back, that little stunt they pulled earlier just confirmed it. If I was being truthful to myself, I think all that they've been doing so far had made me real

    Valerian's POVI HAD a sinking feeling in my chest that I shouldn't have left Elena all by herself, especially at that critical moment when she felt what she was about to do was the right thing.I probably shouldn't have blurted out that I wanted her to marry me but I felt like I was going to lose her, and at that moment I was blindingly grasping for anything to make her stay.But Jared said it was important, which turns out that it was a minor security issue he thought was related to her mates but it wasn't.However, I still stayed a while and waited despite my whole body protesting to run back to Elena and finish what we started if she might still be thinking of leaving but I sensed my men needed me more here. Especially right now, with how topsy-turvy everything has been since the incident at the party.It came at the wrong time. When we were just getting our footing back after...after what happened to my father, and now this.Jared and I were still running points on how the blood

    Ethan's POV I jerked awake out of the darkness with a deep gasp, clutching my heart which felt like it was going to jump right out of my chest.I felt my chest knit itself back slowly in my chest, and I felt the faint sharp cut still worrying me."What do you remember? Can you hear me?" Someone asked, leaning and blocking the light, which upset me. And of the three men, one guy came close being brave to check on me.I remember his cute, innocent eyes peering at me...I loved when those same eyes were bleeding with fear.I tried to raise my other hand only for the hand to stubbornly refuse my command, the other hand however have graduated enough to learn movement.Before even the next morning, I had already learned about the major languages in the country and can strangely pronounce them.My body and joints felt very awkward like they weren't mine and it took some getting used to.I moved forward, my muscles grinding against my bone, creating a very unpleasant experience.I wanted to s

    Valerian's POV Ethan was so caught up in what he was doing that he didn't hear me coming in time and only turned back at the last minute.I rushed towards his knees, tackling him to the floor.I raised my fists and brought them down on his nose, breaking it with a sick crack.I lunged again but he dodged, rolling to the side and I lost my balance."Why. Won't. You. Fucking. Die?" He banged my head against the floor harder with each word he uttered as he tightened his hand on my head.I reach out to hit him but He rolls and leaps to his feet kicking me in my stomach. I curl into a ball as fresh pain blooms in my stomach as the kick reopened the wound. He didn't care, kicking me harder, so much so the force made me fly backward hitting the window and shattering the glass to pieces.I was so badly hurt that I didn't move after I slumped to the floor, just moaning in pain."Fucking pathetic prick." He spat, stumbling to his feet, and walked drunkenly towards Elena. She scrambled back,

    Valerian's POV My heart was in my throat as we sped back to the city, all the while inside my mind I was beating myself up for not seeing everything they had planned out sooner.I should have known it was all a setup.I've heard stories about how sick those men were and I can only imagine the twisted and depraved things they were doing to my pack mates, people who right now were looking up to me for help….and I let them down."You'll drive yourself crazy if you don't stop." Jared came to stand beside me where I was fidgeting. I couldn't keep calm, eager to get back home and fight."I can't stop!" I hissed, whirling around to turn furious eyes at him. "It's all my fault that this is happening. I was in such a hurry to get to Elena, I rushed in blindly avoiding a lot of blinking red flags.""Blaming yourself won't help our people, pulling yourself together will."Due to my whole display in the woods, everyone kept away from me giving me a wide berth.I didn't like messy killings prefer

    Somewhere on the outskirts of Red Sun Hill CityZayn's POV The soft rays of the early morning sun were filtering through the clouds and I moved around impatiently, waiting for the signal.We were all gathered here since yesterday, camping in their backyard. It was quite hard to conceal this large number of people from the city's radar but our people on the inside helped with that, diverting any attention away from us."What's the status?"I spoke into the earpiece I'd wired into my ear for easy communication, while one eye was on my mate. She was by Ethan's side, her head swept to the side to display her collar which was a symbol of our ownership. "It's a go, sir." A voice squeaked over the earpiece, quite difficult to hear but I easily got the message since it was what I'd been waiting to hear all day.Immediately I signaled to the Alpha for them to kick into action, then called Trent to the side.He jogged over to meet me, decked in his battle gear with several daggers and a knife

    Valerian's POV "Hey," Jared calls out and I turned from where I was on the balcony to stare at him, watching his long legs eat up the space before he crossed over to where I was."Heard anything from her yet?" It had taken him a few hours but he healed from the wound, and after being placed on mandatory bed rest he was back to his normal jovial self.The search was still out for Ruby but I doubt we would catch her, I had a feeling she was long gone.I turn back, looking down at the activities taking place below.I was at the Court for some meetings- which seems never ending recently - and also because I needed to think. Being clouded by Elena's things and her scent in the house wasn't helping me think clearly.I had needed to come to a fast decision on what to do, either to forget about Elena and try to move on with my life or to fight like hell for her.I was quite torn about it for a while, the natural instincts as Alpha to protect my pack weighing heavily against my selfish desir

    Ethan's POV"I've been thinking," Zayn announced out of the blue, gesturing for us to take a walk down the line of trees by the cabin away from prying eyes. "About what?” I ask, watching two birds tweeting at each other.“Elena.” The sound of her name was like a blaring alarm which caused me to look up at Zayn.“What happened to her?” I think back to the unconscious woman lying on the floor a few feet away from where we stood.“I want us to perform the mating ceremony today.” He informs me, not looking anywhere near me.“That’s sudden,” I turned to look at him. “what caused the change?” “If she’s mated with us, she would truly become one with us in every aspect physically and up here” he tapped the side of his head looking fierce. “she won't be able to hide anything.""You're not giving her the choice?"We might have not been the most loving of mates but there are some lines I do consider extreme, we are mates but performing the mating ceremony has to be the choice of both people i

    Ethan's POV I watched Zayn down drink after drink of alcohol, trying to blot out whatever he was feeling.When he first found out, he yelled, raged, and raked for the longest time until I thought he wouldn't stop.I totally understood why she would do that, she was a simple creature that just wanted love and to be loved, unfortunately, she got saddled with the wrong people but what made Zayn so angry was that she was going to take our child away from him.I opened the door quietly and looked at where Elena lay unconscious on the floor with the mark on her thigh.Zayn had rubbed wolfsbane into the wound to ensure that it didn't heal properly, even if it did heal, it would ensure that his name would forever be branded on her thigh.I had initially wanted to stop him thinking that that would be too much and it would definitely make her hate him all the more, but then I understood that he was hurt and he needed to lash out, in whatever form.After he stomped out still angry, his marks on

    Elena's POV I was rudely awakened when someone dragged me out of bed in the morning by thrusting the covers back, letting the chill of the morning air kiss my skin, and winding their hand around my arm, pushing me out. I blinked my eyes several times to clear the grogginess and focus on the brick of a man dragging me away, my night dress flapping around my feet. I whimpered when my bare foot stubbed on a table, effectively clearing the sleepiness from my eyes and the man turned to look at me and I realized it was Zayn. I sagged in his hold with relief and looked up at his face. "Za-yn slow down!" I shrieked when he increased his pace. He rounded the corner, his long legs eating up the floor and I hurried behind him walking twice as fast to keep up. He almost ran down the stairs, still dragging me without paying any attention to me or even stopping. If I thought my words were going to convince him to let up, boy was I wrong, because if anything he started to walk faster. "Zay-n! P

    Valerian's POV "Someone get me, Jared!" I yelled to the entire room not speaking to anyone in particular, raking my hand through my hair in agitation. I've been trying to get across to him but to no avail. We were supposed to meet up this morning but he wasn't picking up at all and after a while, the calls were going to voicemail. I was getting worried, it was not like him to dismiss an important meeting without cause. "Sir." Someone called my attention to the front and I turned in that direction, meeting one of the younger shifter's earnest gaze. "I've tracked his phone as you suggested, its location is still pinging that it's at his house. 'So why wasn't he picking up the phone?" I mutter to myself. Then I picked up my keys and dashed out of the room like my tail was on fire. The beta assigned to drive me today saw me rushing out of the building and standing up in a hurry, to jump into the vehicle but I paid him no heed, rounding to the driver's side and I sped off without lo
