All Chapters of Valerie: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Note: there will be a mid-chapter POV change. Enjoy :)_________“So… You’re alive.” Charming murmurs, unlike before, he keeps his distance. I take a step to him, but he takes one back. His action causes me to stop.It’s then, as my gaze burns through his, I see his honest feelings swirl tightly in his amber eyes, and I’m only able to say one thing. “I’m sorry.”He laughs, the sound humourless. “Sorry? I lost you once. I mourned you. You came back, and I was so fucking ecstatic. I thought it’d be like the old days. I-I thought we could be Charming and Wolfe. But while I would die for you, while I love you, I realise you don’t care about us - you never will.”“Of course, I do…” I try to defend myself, but he yells.“Don’t! Just don’t. How can I believe that when only you want is to die? Look at you...! You&rsquo

The Alpha’s have arrived. I can feel their presence in the great hall. They’re pissed, unsurprisingly. Luckily for me, they don’t have a choice. I sit at what once was my father’s offices, behind his desk. For the most part, I’d been going through all the files. Mostly the classified ones. I read through the information of almost all the spies; my father had many.  “Why are the Alpha’s gathering here. Didn’t Jaxson say to gather them at the warrior pack?” Elias questions. An exhausted sigh escapes my lips.  “Because it’s been a long time since these Alpha’s have come together like this. Most of them hate each other. I ca

A deep, shaky breath stutters past my lips. My heart pounds a million miles a minute, and a rush of overwhelming emotions clench tightly in my chest.“Are you okay?” Theia whispers, her fingers clenching her nose shut to block out the scent of desiccation and blood.Nevertheless, she doesn’t move as she continues to stand beside me to hold my hand. I fix my gaze onto her soft hazel ones. The innocence and kindness in her eyes instantly calm me.“Yeah… I-I’m just scared,” I whisper. Theia smiles, her hold on my hand tightening. Her eyes flicker to the steel doors, tilting her head the slightest, confused.“What is this place?” She wonders, her eyes burning into the side of my face.“The place Valak kept me,” I don’t know why I wanted to come here. There’s just something here I wanted to face before facing Freya.We’ve been standing here for three hours. T

“Are you avoiding me again?” I murmur. Jaxson freezes, his back turned to me as he attempts to disappear within the shadows of the forest. An entire day has passed, we separated the creatures into four factions. No one knows anything yet, and I can see it’s un-nerving many. Charming had yet to make an appearance. And Sophia is deciding on the best approach to handle revealing sensitive information. “You should rest. It’s been a long day,” I feel tempted to turn around and stare at the large house, but I know the second I do, Jaxson will be gone. Instead, I take a step forward. “You know, I felt you holding me. I felt your concern. Your fear. Your pain. I felt

His blood stains my silvery-white dress red as I – Nia - takes his neck and tares our fangs into his throat, eating away like we’ve been starving. But the moment we take our first bite, we’re ripped away. Nia fights, growling like a feral, untamed animal. Her claws dig into the two large arms holding her back from her food, “what happening?!” Grayson snaps. Our eyes clash with his shocked ones, my jaws snapping open and shut trying to rip his throat out. I can see his veins pulsing with blood and life. I want it - need it. “Arghh…” growls, and drool and blood left my lips. Nia! Stop. Get back! Getaway! I scream, trying to dominate her, as I did once before. Bu
