Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 99: Harlyn and the Sweet Treats
VALE:It had been nearly a week, and still, I was forced to stay at this hospital. Apparently, the poison was significantly stronger than I had expected it to be. Than anyone had. It didn’t make sense to me that their poisonous bites had gotten stronger since Ares’ injury. Then again, two years had passed, and I shouldn’t have been surprised. But I was. Mutations like this never happened so fast.Bearing this in mind, I couldn’t help but feel that maybe I was weaker than I had originally thought I was. I mean, what other reason could there be for me to have succumbed to the bite so quickly?Honestly, I preferred the idea of being weaker than I thought than these beasts mutating so quickly over the last two years. It was off-putting. Fortunately, I was at least permitted to sit up and walk around. Leaving, however, was a big bloody no-no for me. Rolling my eyes at the thought, I look outside the window, watching as the autumn sun began to set. I wanted to be out there so bad. I wa
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 100: Entertain Me and I'll Talk
ARES: Her glare was adorable. Sure, she might have been a killing machine, but one could easily mistake her for the opposite. Or maybe it was just me.Maybe it was because of the palpable size difference between us, but it was difficult for me to think of her as anything other than what she was to me. My mate. The thought reminded me that I definitely needed to discuss this situation with her father. He wouldn’t believe me.“Are you going to continue to stand there like an idiot or are you going to tell me why you’re here?” Not one time did she remove her alluring stare from those mini little powdered treats that she was eating. Only when I still didn’t answer did she grant me a passing glance then her gaze moved to the bag in my hand. Since she wanted to be aggressive, I’d oblige. Instead of speaking, I snatched the bag from her grasp. Her eyes darkened into visible anger. She didn’t look at me; her eyes just stared distantly at me.“You…are really trying to get on my hitlist aren
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 101: I Don't Need Saving Pt. 1
ARES:She really could put em back-this one. Not alcohol. Food.I sat there amazed at how much this relatively small young woman could scarf down a meal. It wasn’t just her ‘sweet treats’ that she loved so much. She seemed to be a connoisseur of food in general. Vale was a voluptuous woman-more than most inhumans I’d ever known, but she was still fit.I continued to watch in amusement as she finished off a large bowl of baked spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs. This was the sixth in a seven-course meal that she ordered. Her dessert was next.She slurped up the last spaghetti noodle as she finally met my mirthful gaze. “Not what you had in mind, I take it," she remarked. I was assuming, she was speaking in terms of her...less than lady-like way of eating.I could do little more than chuckle at her remark. “To be honest, I am not sure what I should have expected.” She smirked and then pushed away her meal before pulling this large chocolate, domed cake toward her. Something call
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 102: I Don't Need Saving Pt. 2
It didn’t take too long before we ended up at a spot not far from the city line of Shadow Veil. “Vale!” The large security guard exclaimed excitedly as we approached. “Seymour,” she smiled as she sauntered seductively over to him. I was starting to second guess that the girl didn't know what she was doing. She simply had to know how sexy she was. The large human embraced her, tightly wrapping his large arms around her waist. He didn't seem to want to let her go.I didn’t like it. I didn’t like it at all.“Can we kill him?” Bain asked as I stood there glaring holes in the human’s head. His only obsession was the young woman standing in front of him. “We haven’t eaten in a while. We should kill him.” “Reel it in Bain.” Now, it was my turn to control my counterpart. A rarity in and of itself. “And who is this?” The security guard- I didn’t care enough to remember his name, had said.I could see in his eyes that he wanted to challenge me. It was because of this that I came to the re
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 103: Mum's Gone Missing Pt. 1
Vale:It didn’t take long for us to get to the packhouse. That was when my father decided to hold the meeting as opposed to the family home. Understandably so. I was still in a volatile mood when we walked through the door. There was no particular reason why. There was never a particular reason why I was in a mood. Every little thing seemed to excite me or set me off since I transitioned into this…version of myself. Ares Barbosa’s presence only seemed to agitate what little resolve I thought I had. I had turned in to someone or…some thing that I could no longer recognize. The more time that I spent with Ares, the easier it was to see. I would not admit this aloud. At least not in front of him, but…I didn’t really like this version of myself. In fact, it…in a sense, made me feel insecure about myself.I missed being the human vassal who was silently confident and undoubtedly compassionate and kind. As we approached the packhouse, I found that my eyes had been consistently on Ares’s
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 104: Mum's Gone Missing Pt. 2
When we finally approached the meeting room, Ares opened the door and gave me space to enter again. For all his faults, one thing for certain was that Ares was a gentleman, for sure.As soon as we entered, all eyes were on us. I glanced at Ares and then headed into the room.“Vale,” greeted my father.I smiled, nothing reaching but wide enough to be courteous. Although, I did enjoy my father’s company. Even now. I sauntered over to my father and, as I did, noticed that Harlyn was standing nearby. I was curious, and I wanted to speak with her as she had been among the wall of things on my mind.Before I could greet my little half-sister, however, Dad seemed to have had a bit on his mind. “You’re late, Ares.” There was clear impatience and frustration in his voice as he said this.“Dad, it wasn’t his idea,” I started to say when Ares lifted his hand to silence me.“I do not need protection, little inhuman,” he said, his eyes steadily on my father as he said this. “You know as well as
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 105: Heart to Heart & A Familiar Face
Vale: I knew it wouldn’t take long to find my mother, so I didn’t go straight to her. I thought about veering off the beaten path and finding something to get into for a little while, but I thought better of it. There were strange things happening in Shadow Veil and the sooner we found out the root of the problem, the better off we’d all be. And maybe I'd finally be able to leave this place behind once and for all. Maybe. Even if I had no clue where Mum's secluded little hiding spot was located, I'd easily find her. Mum's power always gave her away. There was something almost electrifying about her power. Everywhere she went, whenever she was in a mood, the breeze would pick up, forcing the trees to sway against the night air. What would most always give her away, however, was the mist that would arise from the ground nearby. I stood outside of the log cabin, the little abode that she lived in whilst watching over me my whole entire life, and watched as her unspoken anxiety a
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 106: Tobias's Return Pt. 1
Merari:As we stood there, facing young Tobias, I could not help but picture the face that I remembered as a baby at that orphanage. Then, too, the young man that he had become once the beta had decided to take him in.Admittedly, Valene was treated particularly well for Alastair not to know who she truly was to him. I guessed that Tobias would have gotten the same treatment. At first, I felt guilty about steering Alastair in our daughter’s direction. I knew, after seeing the way that Vale was being raised, that I had robbed him of a comfortable life. Then Toran showed up and decided to snatch him up. Toran was far more lenient than even Alastair was when it came to Tobias. Sure, the young lad was respectful and stayed in his place like the rest of them, but when left to his own devices, he was as free to do what he pleased as Vale, even more so, if I was being honest.It was because of this that, for a time, he had been allowed to leave the Slaughter’s vassal hood.
