All Chapters of Promised To The Lycan King : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

*Valeria* I kept my mouth shut into a thin line, my eyes boring a hole in Samantha’s forehead. I wanted to wipe that dirty smirk off of her face and have her dragged out of the room as she screamed for mercy. I inhaled as much air as I could. Oh, the goddess! I wouldn’t even be aware of myself being capable of such things if Samantha hadn’t entered the damn room. The Elders exchanged glances, many of them nodding in agreement. “Let us remind the former Luna of this pack that she committed serious crimes against His Majesty during her time as Luna,” one of them stated. “Such actions cannot be overlooked, and it’s not easy to restore our trust in her.”I could feel my nails digging into my pants as I tried to stop myself from butting in their conversation. Sane enough, Dominic listened intently next to me, focusing his mind on the conversation at hand. Moving my gaze back to Samantha, I watched her shift her emotions from triumph to sadness in one go. “Regret is one of the emo

*Valeria*"What did you say?" Dominic asked Liam, stepping closer."That girl is lying," he repeated with a frown. "That's not what happened. Lady Val is innocent."Warmth spread through me at his words. Out of everyone, these kids had my back.Samantha tried to step around the accusatory finger that was pointed in her direction."Well, of course, the kids are lying," Samantha said with a nervous smile. "Everyone here knows how much those kids love her, so of course they would try and take her side and defend her. Right?"There were some grumbled agreements from the people around us, making my heart break and my anger flicker. How could this be happening again? How could people that I had known and trusted be turning against me because of some other woman?Granted, her story was convincing, and I still didn't understand…but you would think that there would have been more support for me than this…"Hey, they are children," I said, looking at the embarrassment on their faces. "Pl

*Valeria*The second my hand impacted her cheek I felt more release than I had in weeks.And I didn't care if I was in the right or the wrong, all I knew was that it felt damn good."What the hell?" Samantha snapped, instantly stopping her tears and whipping her head around to face me. "How dare you slap me!"It was clear that I had surprised her as much as I had myself. She was so surprised that she had dropped her entire act of the meek and struggling girl."I can't take it anymore!" I yelled at her, all sense of composure lost. "If you want to feel pain, then I don't mind helping you.""You bitch!" Samantha growled back and lunged for me.She was a werewolf. She was much stronger than me and would do much more damage than I could do to her. But I didn't care anymore. I didn't care.I braced myself, raising my fists. But before Samantha could reach me there were large, strong hands pulling her back, away from me. I stayed ready though, braced for the attack I knew was coming,

*Valeria*Rosie raised an eyebrow at me. “Are you alright?”I nodded. “Yeah, yeah...I think so...” I answered, putting my glass of wine down and placing a hand over my stomach. It was weird...it wasn’t like the nausea was painful or anything, but it still bothered me.Rosie frowned.“What’s wrong, dear?” Gia asked, approaching us. She took a seat in front of me and placed her hands on my shoulders. “Did you get tired of standing up there for too long? Or maybe your nerves finally got the best of you?”“No,” I massaged my temples. “I don’t know why I suddenly felt tired.” Gia and Rosie exchanged worried glances, and Gia turned her attention back to me.Dominic noticed me and stopped talking with his colleagues. “What’s wrong?” he asked, concerned.I shook my head. “Nothing. I’m fine.”“You don’t look good. A little pale, yes,” he glanced at Gia. “Maybe you should go inside, get some sleep, and—”“Dominic,” I said firmly. “I told you, I’m okay,” I reassured him. “Just a bit ti

*Valeria*“Wh—What are you going to do to me? You can’t seriously be thinking of selling me off to the rogues!” “I won’t let that happen to you,” Declan replied, grabbing hold of my arm and dragging me toward the exit. “It’ll be worse than that,” he grinned maliciously. “No, I can’t let that happen,” I said desperately, trying to pull my arm away from him. “I’m the Luna of the pack, they’ll be searching for me.”“Not after what I have planned,” Declan laughed. “You’re not safe anywhere.”I couldn’t believe what he was suggesting. He wanted to kill me—to sell me off to the very same rogues who had been accused of human trafficking, and I had no idea why, other than the fact that he was a psycho who wanted to take me down. He was obsessed. And I had a feeling that it was all because of Dominic.“Please, Declan,” I begged, tears forming in my eyes.“Is that the one?” One of the rogues asked, curiosity dancing in his eyes.Declan nodded. “She’s for a hefty price, do you hear me?”
