“He tried to kill you or do something else?”
Valencia waved her hand away, “Of course, he failed at it or I wouldn’t be alive in front of you, right? Give your archon some credit, alpha Castro.”
He heard the tone of supremacy and a little annoyance in her voice and simply nodded his head.
Meanwhile, after a while, the rogue stirred a little and both of them immediately turned their heads to look at him.
“Looks like he is waking up…”
“Give me the bottle, quick…” Valencia added and Dominic did as told.
The rogue, Daniel, opened his eyes a little and saw a hazy kneeling in front of him to get a better look. His vision was blurry and he tried focussing on the person in front of her.
He felt cold water splash on his face as he shook his head to get rid of it. The water seemed to help and he focussed on the face of Valencia who was looking at him with icy cold eyes.
“Please…let me go…I didn’t do anything…” his voice was hoars
She asked him pointedly and Dominic raised his hands in surrender, “No offense, archon. I couldn’t understand the reason for your worry. I need to know details because this rogue infringed our territory, slipped through our patrolling werewolves, and got into your home. What if something would have happened?” “Nothing happened Dominic, well at least, nothing happened except the fact that his fur was an eerie blue and he was larger than most alphas, even more, bigger than me.” “What are you saying? A blue werewolf?” Dominic couldn’t keep the shock out of his voice and Valencia knew why. Even she had been utterly dumbfounded to see his fur glisten blue. Earlier, she had felt that it was a trick of light that had made her see blue but no it wasn’t. The werewolf was actually blue in color and his eyes had glinted with a manic rage as if he had been possessed. That thought made her think hard. Could that really be the case? Could someone have posse
They didn't even realize that they spent talking for hours on end all the while when the sun was up in the sky and beginning to go down. Not wanting to go to the headquarters, Valencia called her beta, Gerald, and the rest of the alphas whoever was in the condition to join them to talk about the hycwen attacks. Gerald showed up after fifteen minutes and greeted everyone, “Hello alphas. I checked with the werewolves who were on patrol duty on the day of the attack. They say that the hycwens were minding their own business far away from our border so they didn’t alert everyone. However, suddenly they shuddered violently and it was as if something took over them while they were fooling around. All of a sudden they began marching ahead and soon a herd of them followed and before the patrolling crew could infor
She returned his smile and jumped down from the hycwen and stepped back, “Sure then, I will let you take it from here.” Folding her hands, she leaned on a tree and watched him struggle with the hycwen that was trying to trample him. For a minute, she wasn’t sure what Calhoun was trying to do to the beast in front of him, she saw that there were several opportunities when he could have killed it but hadn’t taken the chance.” With furrowed eyebrows she kept watching them and after a while saw that the beast was beginning to grow tired. Its movements were becoming slow and dragged as Calhoun was behaving like a mouse, taunting and teasing the large cat, making it look like catching him was easy when, in fact, it was far from that. With an amused smile, she kept looking at the cat and mouse fight and after what seemed like an eternity the hycwen was so tired of fighting Calhoun that it slumped to the ground, unconscious. Chuckling at the sight, she asked
Taking her reaction as permission to go ahead, he used his other hand to push her forward, upon him. Her lips were merely inches away from his. He willed her to open her eyes but she had them shut tight while she was trembling lightly. Calhoun spent a second deciding if he should go ahead or not and that very moment she grabbed his collar and pulled him ahead as their faces bumped into each other. He couldn't resist anymore and caught her lips in his as a whimper escaped her lips. Smiling at the reaction, Calhoun cupped her face in both his hands and lightly kissed her while his fingers continued to caress her. Valencia’s lips were full and soft and it was as if a thousand fireworks had exploded in his mind, sending tingling sensations all over his body. The slow and unhurried kiss turned deeper when she fisted with his shirt, bending on him to practically eat him. ‘What a feisty little wolf’ Calhoun thought and moved his hands on her back, to
She began walking away, stomping her feet on the grass and for the first time in ages, she was crying. Valencia was not even aware of when tears had started running down her face. Ever since that fateful day when her parents had been killed and she had lost everything, she had promised herself that she wouldn't cry, that she would become strong and would never need anyone ever again. That thought of a fourteen year old kid had been true to this day when in ages she had opened up her heart to someone, someone who was from their worst enemy, someone who had wanted her and used her only to throw her away once he was done. More than him, she was angry at herself for letting him get away with it. How could she just believe that mages were all good and noble? That the centuries old feud between them had been for nothing? Her thoughts were in a disarray and she had no idea where she was heading to. Calhoun kept watching her from the window as he saw her wipe
Dominic’s eyes went wide when they traveled from the crying girl to the archon in front of them, before they slid to the rogue who lay on the ground, struggling to even breathe properly. As the realization hit him, he immediately ran towards Valencia and whispered something in her ears. She stopped speaking abruptly and turned her head towards Jenny who was so afraid of her speech and anxious that she collapsed on the ground. However, it caused a much needed distraction as Dominic immediately rushed to Jenny and announced, “Looks like our young werewolves are still getting used to the idea of killing and survival. For now, I request the archon to leave this matter and discuss it with the alphas later. All of you can go back to your work.” Valencia was too stunned to say anything and all she could do was nod her head in response. The werewolves broke out in a murmur as they walked away and the crowd thinned as Dominic carried the little girl in his arms while
His breath caught in his throat at that. Never would he have thought that she would ask him this question, directly, while looking into his eyes. “Stop it, Val. Enough. Go to your home and rest please.” She shook her head as her hair flew into her face, “Noooo….I am not going home. I am staying here with you….I feel….lonely…” Her speech slurred and she lost her balance and fell on him but he gently caught her in his hands. “You need to rest. Please listen to me or I will have to carry you by force.” Hearing him, she immediately scrunched her face, looking at him with puppy eyes and an innocent face, “Would you really do that? Force me?” Dominic only looked at her helplessly before muttering, “Yes, I will” and put his hands under her knees to carry her in his arms. She tried to throw a tantrum like a little kid but no sooner had he taken her in his arms, she buried her face in his chest, inhaling his scent. Dominic nearly lost b
His wolf let out a low growl but he asked him to behave. Using one hand, he slid his fingers in the soft material of her top and unbuttoned it from behind. It fell open and he kissed her shoulders as she moaned in pleasure. Valencia closed her eyes as she immersed herself in the touch of his lips on her skin. His hands fumbled with the buttons on the front and she teased, “I expected better from you Dom. You are very sloppy for an alpha.” Smirking at that, his eyes shone with desire and he unbuttoned the top quickly to reveal her smooth white skin beneath. Her black bra was a stark contrast to her milky white skin and his breath caught in his throat to see her like that. He tried looking into her eyes if there was any hint of regret or hesitance in it but there wasn’t. She was only gawking at his physique as her hands roamed his chest in surprise. Her feather soft touch was making him go mad and ecstatic and he couldn't help but dip his head to start
Valencia let out a growl on hearing that. “How could you, Trecdor? She is a little girl…all these days…I have been living with the guilt of scaring her and it was you all along?” Trecdor spat at her words in disgust, “Trecdor? Do you dare call me by my name? Where is your respect for the Coven's head?” Valencia meanwhile kept glaring at him, “You lost it when you sent an untrained, tainted werewolf after my niece, you don’t have the right to that seat after what you have been doing to the humans…” Dominic tried to mind link her, “Keep him busy talking, I’ll try to untie the knots holding me to this filthy pillar.” She was startled to hear his voice in her head all of a sudden but Trecdor only took it as the reaction to his betrayal. To goad her further, he added, What use is she to me? Well, if she grows up and is capable of birthing a wolf then she may be of some use…if not, she is a burden on our community…like yo
After ensuring that the car was safely hidden out of view, both of them stepped out of it and peered through the gate.Luckily nobody had come running towards the gate when it had creaked loudly.So they believed that it could either mean that whoever was in charge didn’t think that anybody would show up or if they did then they wouldn’t walk out alive.After ensuring that nobody was around using their acute sense of hearing and smell, the two slowly edged inside.There was a lot of abandoned stuff littering around the open space so it proved to be effective in hiding.Thus, they used the empty drums and stuff lying around to hide them while carefully walking inside.The two werewolves kept inching towards the entrance that they hoped would be heavily guarded or at least tripped with wires.But to their surprise, again nothing obstructed their way. It was strange and both of them merely glanced at each other before walking
Running towards him, she turned him around and before he could react, she pulled him by the collar and placed her lips on his. Daniel had not expected her to have such a reaction and he was startled for a moment but soon he gave in to the feeling. He was afraid that she would shun him and was only around him for old time’s sake. The fact that she took the initiative to kiss him dispensed all the worries from his head. His arms went around her and he lifted him from the ground while kissing her back. Jenny smiled and a chuckle escaped her lips to feel him be so elated. His eyes were shining with joy and she could also see a tear or two though he was trying hard to not show it. “I love you” The words escaped his lips automatically and Jenny’s eyes mirrored his emotions. “I have always loved you, Danny,” Jenny replied and the two smiled again. “Now, put me down…” Daniel who was lost in the sensation of
As she kept thinking about this stuff, her feet automatically carried her to the headquarters. She walked inside the headquarters, climbed the stairs, and got to the upper floor where Daniel was sitting on the chair. He looked weak but not as exhausted as before. The guards stationed outside the room bowed their heads at her. “Has he eaten something?” One of the werewolves who were standing away from her bowed his head and answered, “Yes archon, we gave him food and he finished that reluctantly. In fact, he has been asking to meet you. But, we didn’t inform you because we thought it was too early.” She nodded her head in acknowledgment and went inside. Daniel was in a fresh set of clothes, probably Gerald had given her a new set. He even looked to have bathed and not as harrowed as the night before. Daniel had a notebook and a pen in front of him and appeared to be scribbling something. Seeing her enter the room, he got up from his seat and bo
The voice pained him and the icy tone with which she said that to him made him feel like he was punched in the gut. “Why are you doing this?” He asked in an anguished voice. She was still pinned to the bed and his hands were still holding hers. He tightened his hold on her and bent down again to say, “You don’t really mean that, you are saying that to get back at me.” Valencia kept looking at him with the same steady gaze, her eyes didn’t even falter for a second. She was proud of not giving away the roller coaster of emotions coursing through her. “If you think so…” Calhoun’s eyes grew darker and she hoped that he would get away from her the minute he realized that she wasn’t joking. However, he did just the opposite. Instead of getting away from her, he bent down and gave her the steamiest kiss ever. In one swift motion, he put his hands around her, pulled her in a tight embrace, and began eating her lips, devouring her
“Well let’s say fate decided to meddle with her life. She got separated from her parents and had to live on her own….but….she was a strong girl. As such, she decided to not let destiny decide the course of her life, thus she fought against all odds and became a queen from an orphan.” She gave a dry chuckle at that, “you make it look so effortless...” He responded, “I know it isn’t, but I didn’t want to go into the details of the pain and suffering of the girl, she has had her fill.” Valencia closed her eyes and replied, “Hmm…so, where is she now?” Calhoun looked at her face that was shining with innocence and pain. He wanted to kiss her so bad but didn’t want to take advantage of the situation. Thus, he answered, “She is ruling her kingdom all by herself.” “Oh, she doesn’t have a king?” “She could but she doesn’t need anyone I think.” “Well, everybody needs someone at one point or the other…” The words had tumbl
The word made her momentarily forget what she had been about to say. Nobody had called her queen before. Blinking her eyes she said while fumbling, “Yes…I am..” Though her heart had skipped a beat at that, she continued to look at him with defiance. Calhoun closed the distance between them and stood extremely close to her, their faces inches away from each other. “What wouldn’t have happened if I had stayed away?” He asked her again, slowly and steadily and she realized that he had understood that she had not implied the incident with the blue werewolf. A small part of her heart was amazed to see how he had clearly understood her but the other was still fluttering at the way he had called her queen. It felt oddly nice to hear him call her a queen. Scolding herself, she tried to get a grip on herself as even her wolf seemed to be confused now. Earlier, she had loved Dominic but now feeling what Valencia was feeling made her unsu
Dominic muttered and turned into his wolf. Valencia got up from the ground as the rogue motioned ahead and raised his hand to smack her again. But before he could do this, Dominic jumped on him, sinking his teeth into the werewolf’s arm. In normal circumstances, it would have sliced off the hand as an alpha’s bite was extremely powerful but no such thing happened now. The blue werewolf was more powerful than the alpha but it seemed to lose its mind from time to time. It was as if periodically it was being remote controlled by someone else and just moments of self control were granted to it before it was taken over by that other mysterious controller again. Dominic looked at his beta who got the message and quickly as his pack members to ensure that a stampede doesn’t occur and that everybody is taken to a safe place while they dealt with this rogue. Gerald and Patrick began guiding the frightened crowd, taking them away from the battle
“I kept telling myself that it will be okay, that I could always walk away and return the money if I didn’t like what was going on…” Daniel trailed off and his eyes automatically went to Jenny whose face was almost on the verge of crying. She couldn’t keep it together anymore. His face crumpled to see her like that and Dominic patted her head and pulled her in a hug to calm her down. Daniel felt relieved to see that neither of the alphas was hurting her even when they knew that she was their leverage against them. Gerald walked up to him and offered him a glass of water when the rogue moved his hands to his throat and touched the Adam’s apple. After emptying the water glass, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and continued, “I was taken in and asked to do some mandatory health check-ups that they assured me and the batch of people who had signed up with them…we were taken in a lab of sorts and asked to sleep on a table to take some scan…I do
