Valencia was thrown away to the other side, and a lot of her skin was on display but luckily he turned around to keep himself focussed on the man in front of him.
Who was this man and what was he doing here?
He hadn’t seen him before so he couldn't belong to the werewolf community but he also was surely a werewolf because he growled a second later and turned into his werewolf self.
Valencia’s head collided with a sharp edge of a table and she fell unconscious.
Meanwhile, the man who had turned into a werewolf was growling at him. However, something about him was unreal. He didn't have the usual brown, grey, or golden fur that he had seen the day before when they had fought the hycwens.
It was blue, a stark blue that was hard to miss. Since when do werewolves have blue fur? The blue fur was hard to miss and the werewolves' eyes twinkled with an unknown rage.
Even Valencia’s eyes went wide on seeing the blue fur as she was sl

She looked so cute and innocent when she was asleep that his heart went out to her. Memories of what he had seen back at the Round Hall came rushing at him, of how she had been humiliated and tortured by her own kind in the past and his face hardened. Patting her head gently, he pulled his hand away and was about to get up when her hand stopped him. She was holding his hand, and murmured in her sleep, “Please….stay.” Those two simple words made him feel like his feet were clad in iron that made him impossible to move. Helpless, he sank down near her once again as she put his hands between her and placed them beneath her chin. In no time, she fell asleep again as Calhoun watched her with a smile. He wasn't sure how long he stayed there but the sun was beginning to show up. His back hurt a little due to sitting uncomfortably at an odd angle with one of his hands tucked in between hers, but he didn't mind. A small part of him said that he would d
Saying that he turned to leave and began walking but she abruptly spoke, “No…wait.”Hearing her, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to face her. She looked adorable in her shorts and t-shirt while her blue eyes twinkled in the morning light.Looking at her expectantly, he said nothing and she fumbled, “Err…I mean, at least, have breakfast. Then we will go to the headquarters together.”She added meekly. Calhoun only raised an eyebrow and nodded his head as she turned around to walk inside.Shoot.Now that she had asked him to come inside, what was she going to feed him with? She could hardly cook and now she was cursing herself for speaking whatever came in her mind.However, after she entered her house, it didn't feel like her house at all.Hearing the noise, she had run outside her room and didn't even notice how it looked. Only now that she was walking back inside did she realize how cl
‘She looks cute and adorable if she tried to dress like a girl’ Calhoun thought and then was shocked at himself. Valencia’s eyes took in the sight of him wrapped in nothing but a towel. Water was still trickling down his forehead and temples while the droplets of water on his bare chest shone in the sunlight. Realizing that he was almost naked, she hastily straightened herself and said, “I…Ummm…I will wait outside.” ‘She looks cute and adorable if she tried to dress like a girl’ Calhoun thought and then was shocked at himself.

Realizing that he was almost naked, she hastily straightened herself and said, “I…Ummm…I will wait outside.” Calhoun chuckled at the way she stuttered and spoke, “No need, you can wait inside. I’ll just qui
“Yeah, he is quite special to me. I think I did tell you guys that I had found him in an injured state. Master had instructed me to heal him with magic but I had failed. He had been a sickly looking youngling when I had found him and I am still trying to put feathers on his wings.” “Well, you are improving…” she added and Calhoun chuckled. The fact that he brought up his master reminded her that she had been the one to kill him and add to his misery. She fell silent and Calhoun realized what he had done. Lamenting himself he scolded his nervousness ‘First, you bring up her past and then remind her of how she killed the Ancient One…great Calhoun’ He smacked his forehead and she looked at him, “Err…we have almost reached.” Relieved with the change of topic, Calhoun smiled as he looked in front of him. The place was Rugor’s diner and the fat and tall owner of the small diner was busy dusting the tabletops. Seeing Valneica his face
However, now he had found something interesting so he began asking questions to Rugor. “Tell me, Rugor. Everything, from the start.” Happy that somebody was giving him the attention he deserved, Rugor put his fat finger to the chin after folding his hands and began to think for a moment before Valencia got up from her seat. “I have a rogue to talk to and then find out why the hycwens had attacked us yesterday. You two can carry on.” Calhoun waved her and she rolled her eyes thinking that he was wasting his time unnecessarily. She walked outside, a little annoyed that Calhoun didn't join her the instant she got up. But then she told herself that she was used to people following her orders and running around her whenever she asked them to do something. Calhoun was a mage, not a werewolf so he definitely wouldn't behave like all the werewolves under her. With a frown, she pulled out her phone to see a text from Dominic. “Where are
“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
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
