Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 88: The Truth About Vali/The Call Pt.2
“Val!” My father exclaimed. I was so shocked at her candor that I was rendered speechless myself.She turned away from the Delta and approached Dad again. “I…will stay in the city for a few days, but I cannot stay here.”“Why?” asked my father. Or…I guess…our father?Valene’s expression changed. “I smell her…I’m not ready to be near Mum. Not right now.”“Honey, she’s not staying here,” said my father, and for some reason, that was when it finally clicked: the reason behind his story about him and my mother, the mention of a true mate.“That woman!" I asked in bewilderment. "She…she’s y

Aries:Was it true? Was she really my mate? No! It couldn’t be! But I felt it, so it couldn’t be a lie. Right?“Yes!” Bain growled with anticipation and excitement. My counterpart could hardly contain himself and it was at that moment that I realized that it had to be true. Though I imagined any virile male would have a hard time containing themselves in front of such a rare beauty, and yes, she was beautiful.There was a darkness about her, however. It was as if the years of her absence had changed her in ways that caused resentment. Death could do that to a person. The death of my parents left a mark of darkness within me that I knew would never be fully healed. Still, though, she carried it quite well.I remember her very well when she was a human. Her hair was never out of place but neat in its natural curl. There was a light in her. A uniformed innocence that I had never seen in another before. One that was quite alluring, if I am being honest with myself.Now, however, she w

She brushed past me without another word, and I fought with every ounce of my being not to yank her up by the arm and force her into seclusion so that we could hash it out. Something told me, however, that if I did, I’d only succeed in making things worse.I turned and watched her saunter away from me, my arms crossed in aggravation. “We’re not done here, little one.” She paused, turned only slightly, and looked at me. “Yes, we are, old man.” without another word, she did something that I had never seen before of an inhuman. Her body seemed to burst into a flight of shadow-like bats, and suddenly, she disappeared into the sky.“She is going to be a problem.” Bain seemed to realize this as he witnessed what I did.“A challenge she will be,” I agreed with my beastly counterpart.“Yes….why do I feel like you welcome the challenge?” When he said this, a grin played across my lips and gradually became wider. I was amused and a tad bit excited about the idea of forcing the little spitfire

Vale: I sat on the kitchen island, eating a bowl of Moose Track ice cream drenched in fudge. My sweet tooth had kicked into exceptionally high gear today, and I knew why. I hadn’t eaten a meal- a real meal for almost a day and a half. Trying to be a good girl was definitely not agreeing with me. With a small sigh, I dug into my bowl and took a large bite of my fudgy ice cream. Eyes closed, I savored the rich fudge when I started to get a splitting headache. “You alright in here?” I heard the resoundingly deep voice of my father ask me as I sat on the island counter trying to enjoy my sweet treat. “Brain freeze,” I murmured as I squeezed my eyes shut tightly as if that would help alleviate the pain that I was feeling. I took a deep breath after the pain subsided and just looked at my father, giving him a small smile before I returned to my steadily melting treat. “Those can suck.” “Yeah,” I replied to him. “They certainly can. In fact, I am almost certain that they always do.”

Alastair:I should have known that she would be late. Even the elusive vampire elder, Lucious Madris, had made an early appearance. His son, however, was, not so eager to make his presence known.“Alastair Wade!” Lucius Madris approached with the same charm and subtle deviousness that he’d carried through his eight and a half centuries of life. “It is always a pleasure.”“I’d say the same, but it usually depends on what kind of mood you’re in, Lucius.” To my reply, he found no offense and simply responded with a grin. He knew that I was right. “Right, you are, alpha," he confirmed and continued with further amusement. "I guess I can be hard to swallow at times. However, since Shadow Veil is the priority, I promise to be on my best behavior tonight. Or at least, I'll try.” “Hm,” I took his word with a grain of salt and a raised brow. I’d always have to make a mental note to keep an eye on him. “Your son,” I shifted the subject. “I take it, he will not be gracing us with his presence

Harylyn's eyes were bloodshot and narrow. She could hardly put proper words together as she stumbled through her response. “As…as the blo...ody…v-vampire said. Well, e...except I can…I can hold my alcoh-my alcohol,” she slurred.“Apparently, you can’t," I hissed under my breath. So irritated by Harlyn's reckless behavior. Already, things were turning out to be a mess, and the meeting hadn’t even started yet. I simply could not afford to have two children acting out erratically.Toran’s son, Talon approached with impatience. “If it’s alright with you, alpha, I’ll take her upstairs so she can sleep it off.”“Thank you, Talon.” I knew it was as frustrating for him to see her that way as it was for me. When I handed her off, I noticed the flush in her cheeks. She seemed to be ashamed of her actions now when she noticed that Talon was standing before her. Harlyn suddenly became silent and docile. It was all of a sudden that Harlyn was seemingly more aware and apologetic of her actions.

Vale:After I left the house, I stood there and just looked at the large home for a moment. Not for sentimentality, though.They were about to talk, and it was bound to turn into an argument if I knew my mother and father. And I did. Then again, I did jump the gun in even assuming that my mother would stay long enough to talk. She was more the flighty type. Especially, where hard conversations were concerned.Hmm, mother and father. The idea of them being in the same vicinity… was off-putting. However, it seemed that this whole time, they were never too far away from each other. The amused expression that I had quickly turned into a frown as I thought about it. This whole time, one big-no huge secret that they both shared. My father, I couldn’t hold too much fault with since he didn’t even know that I existed. Or well... in the fleshly sense, at least.That woman, however. A completely. Different. Story.I walked away from the house, suddenly irritated. I wanted to feed. Bad.That’s

Ares:When I saw her standing there, staring at the house, her eyes wandering along the length of the Wade estate, I stood there and simply watched. I liked watching her.Something was on her mind, and I had no idea what it was. What is she thinking? I asked to myself as I stood there in the distance, desperate to know what was on her mind.I didn’t make myself known just yet as I shamelessly took that time to admire how beautiful she was. And the sweet scent that seemed to change into something ever sweeter whenever she was near.The black distressed pants she wore hugged at her thick thighs and a plump backside. She had on a leather jacket that covered the mid-drift shirt t

Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 154: Departure
VALE:The first rays of dawn painted the sky in hues of orange and pink as Valene and Harlyn stood on the outskirts of Shadow Veil, their backs turned to the familiar pack. The weight of exile hung heavy in the air, a bittersweet reminder of the decisions they had made.“This is a big step to make, Vale,” said Tobias as we stood at the city line of Shadow Veil. “It is,” I said. I couldn’t bloody well deny his truth. Harlyn and I’s relationship was still on the mend. There were definitely some kinks that needed to be worked out, but I felt an obligation to her. Not only to her but to Shadow Veil as well. I refused to make it easier for Dronnigan to find me. “But you remember what my mother said, Tobi. Even if Harly wasn’t leaving, I’m not sure that I’d have a choice. Not until I find a way to get rid of him for good.” I said. “Yeah, that’s true. I’ll be shoving off soon too.”“Your dad can’t be happy about that.” Tobias glanced back at the beta and his son. “Not really, but both he
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 153: Dad, I Have to Tell You Something
VALE:“Harlyn Caris Wade. You almost took the life of your best friend. Your actions of attempted murder have cast an even bigger shadow on the pack. It’s not just because of what you did, Harlyn but who you are to the people surrounding you.”Harlyn’s gaze fell to the ground. There was visible shame in her eyes as these words were said. She knew that all of it was true, and so she kept silent.“You were acting in a rash state of anger and a thirst for revenge, and because of this, you’ve committed crimes of a reprehensible nature.” She looked up at him, and took a deep breath, but still, she did not say a word. It was clear that she was anxious though.“What do you have to say for yourself?” Silence enveloped the great hall, everyone silently and apprehensively waiting for her to speak. Until she finally did. “I…I’ve never been a really good friend…a good master…and especially a good sister. Her eyes wandered the room, but not for long as she finally found the gaze that she was
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 152: A Judgment No Father Should Have to Bear
Alastair:The tension was palpable as the pack and clan leaders stood in the great hall for the judgment that would have to be carried out.As I sat in the Alpha’s chair, looking over the crowd, I could see that every face was etched with tension and sorrow. I couldn’t blame them; this was a big night, and one that I was not looking forward to.My stomach turned constant flips, a clear reaction to my anxiety as this day approached. I was dreading every second up until this very moment, and I could sense that I was not the only one.Agnes and Penny stood there, hands and feet bound as they waited for the room to gather its awaiting crowd for my judgment. They stood before me, Toran on my right and John…struggling internally, but nevertheless on my left. Both Agnes and Penny’s heads were bowed before me as they waited for me to proceed with the grave charges pinned against them. When the sound of the meeting hall’s large double doors could be heard closing, I knew that it was time to
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 151: Confessions & A Revelation
The room was dimly lit. It was clear that she was in a cell of some sort. “Hello, my love.” Her voice was calm and soothing, and yet filled with sorrow. Though she wasn’t facing me in real time, I could sense the shame in her demeanor as she could not even look into Tobias’s eyes while relaying her message.“You know that before you were born…your father and I had an affair.” she chuckled bitterly. “Of course…I didn’t know that he was married or mated or whatever the hell they call it!” She snapped and then took a deep breath to seemingly calm down. “But that is neither here nor there. I did end it, baby, I truly did…once I found out that-what…kind of situation I was placed in. That…that wasn’t good enough for her though…so…that’s basically how my life ended that night.”There was so much pain in her voice as she said this. I couldn’t imagine how much it pained her to relive that evening. But she had to. She needed to confess her truth.“When I was brought back…all of my emotions we
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 150: Distraction From Reality
VALEAfter Damian plied me with a few more drinks, I stumbled home to the inn and got me a room to stay at. Since everything that went on with Harlyn, I had been saying with dad, knowing that while he wouldn’t express it aloud, he needed the support. On this night, however, and maybe even the days to come, I’d probably be staying put here. There was far too much on my mind to be placed in the same vicinity of someone who was going through as much as I was.I knew that dad was hurting, and I also knew that if I saw that, if I had to witness it, I’d try and do everything within my power to heal him of that hurt instead of focusing on not going insane due to my own. I stumbled into the bathroom, and started the shower. Then I sat there on the side of the tub, leaned my head against the cold ceramic. It felt good against my flushed drunken skin.Suddenly, I didn’t think that I had the energy to take a shower. Maybe I should just stay here and close my eyes.“I see you have had an…intoxi
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 149: A Mother's Message
VALE:There was a look on his face, one that spoke so many volumes to me and still I could not accept it. I recalled watching as Ares pulled away from Tobias’s thoughts and memories. He was slow facing me, very reluctant.“Is it true?” I had asked him. Somehow, some part of me knew that answer but I needed Ares to confirm.It wasn’t like I thought the worst of Tobias-even in spite of his new lifestyle; not like he necessarily chose the lifestyle that was thrust upon him. I could never say that Tobias was a dishonest person. That’s why…I already knew. Still, there was something about my connection with Ares that would solidify this for me. “Tell me, Ares!” I approached him, desperate for him to answer. “Is it?”When he nodded sullenly, I backed away from him, and sorrow immediately enveloped me. My heart ached.“So…it was a lie?” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing even though I knew that it was true. My dad tried to approach me. I could tell that he was as distraught as I was abo
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 148: Descendants & Sons Pt. 2
Vale“That…no…no, that’s…impossible.”Tobias shook his head. “No, Vale. It’s not.”I couldn’t absorb what he was saying to me. It was surreal. “Who on earth would the goddess deem worthy enough to procreate with?”“The old man was never clear on that,” said Tobias. “But he’s certain that you are. Apparently he has proof of it.” “And you didn’t think to bring it here?”Dad clearly was as flustered as I was, finding out this incredulous bit of news. Tobias looked at the alpha with a sarcastic expression. “All due respect, alpha…you’ve not met my father if you think that it would be so easy to get away, let alone gather information on him-”“Wait, what?!” Talon exclaimed. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who caught that. I just…I wasn’t sure that I heard correctly. Tobias paused, his eyes falling to the floor with clear indignation. He wasn’t happy about this bit of news either, but it was clear that there was merit to it. “What did you say?” With a resigned exhale, Tobias nodded.
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 147: Descendants & Sons Pt. 1
Vale:I stood there, bewildered as our eyes met. Part of me, a less…conflicted part of me was elated to see him standing there. With my father…his father, and his brother.Tobias.I cared about Tobias. Far more than I ever realized. It took him dying and then coming back to see that. But regardless, of how I came to this realization, those feelings were there. And that would never change. I was so glad to seem him alive and relatively well considering the circumstances surrounding…well…us and our current lifestyles.Despite that less conflicted side of me, there was bigger part of me…a blaringly alarmed and untrusting, and even angry…part of me that could only think about one thing; where was my mother?The fact that she was nowhere to be found-even now. It didn’t make sense maybe, but…in my potentially irrational mind, I couldn’t think of a reality where Tobias would even be here and mum not. I just couldn’t shake that feeling….that gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach, as I wat
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 146: It's Not A Social Call
VALEThe meeting hall wasn’t too far away from where I was, so I didn’t use a quick means of transportation. “Vale,” I heard someone call after me. When I turned around, Talon was on approach. “Good evening, Talon,” I greeted.I guess any other sister would have given the Beta a cold shoulder because of what he had done to Harlyn.To be honest, as far as I was concerned, Harlyn got what Harlyn deserved. She never treated the guy with the proper respect.Still, I could tell that he was nervous about approaching me. Oh, Talon. I am on your side on this one.“How are you, this evening?” he asked me.“I’m…fine,” I shrugged. “I guess.”“Fine?” His steps slowed when he got closer. “Yeah, just fine. Could be better. Then again, I could be worse.” “Ah,” he shiftily looked around before his eyes landed on me again. He had question that he wanted to ask and I already knew who the question was concerning.“Just…ask the question, Talon,” I rolled my eyes.He took a deep breath, and then said,
