Valerie:

“Where the hell were you last night?” Vadim asked, snapping at me and I raised an eyebrow. The fact that the man was in my apartment was confusing enough as it was, and to think that he was asking such a question was even weirder.

“I doubt that I need to answer to you at the age of twenty-six, do I?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. I was forcing myself to ignore the clench that I felt in my chest as anger boiled through every cell in my body, and though I didn’t even understand why I was feeling this way because of a wolf, I knew to keep it quiet. 

“I waited for you almost all night only to find out that you went clubbing…”

“Again, I don’t need to answer to you, Vadim.” I said, reminding him of his limit. The man was my twin, and though we were both close, I hated when he tried shoving his nose in what didn’t concern him. 

“I’m sorry,” he said, avoiding my eyes. “I was worried when I didn’t find you in the house and when I found out that you were clubbing at the wolf’s…”

“The two of us know very well that I chose to move out of the house because of this ‘wolf’ obsession.” I said, stopping him. “Therefore, unless it is another topic, please, we either close this one or you show yourself out the door.” 

He frowned in confusion at my attitude before cupping my cheeks to make me look at him. Tears fell from my eyes before I could stop myself and he frowned before wrapping his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug. I fisted his shirt, knowing that he wouldn’t be asking any questions. At this point, I knew that he would just hug me to let me know that he was there for me.

But I knew that I had to compose myself fast; otherwise, he was going to start getting suspicious and if that happened and if questions were to be asked, I didn’t know how I was going to answer them.

I pulled away to look at him and he smiled in assurance. “How about we take a seat and watch a movie? Maybe I can get you some chocolate? Or better yet, call mum to come over…”

“Mum?” I asked, and he smiled. The fact that she was here was a surprise as it was, and I couldn’t help but shake my head in question. “How?”

“I don’t know how he did it, but he convinced her that coming over would be best. I wanted to come and get you yesterday, but you never showed up.” He said, and I smiled before wiping my tears. I went to take a step back but he grabbed the jacket that I was wearing. “But first, you are going to tell me where you got this jacket.”

“If I am going to be telling you about every man that I sleep with on a drunken night, I doubt that you, as my BROTHER, would be okay with it.”

“TMI.” He said, and I rolled my eyes. “At least tell me that you remember his name this time?”

“Don’t answer, number ten.” I said, and he laughed, shaking his head at me. It was a name that I knew that I would never forget, and the fact that he used me the way that he did was one thing that I was going to keep in mind; however, for now, I was going to shut the topic before more questions were asked. “I’ll go and get ready before the two of us head out. I also have a jacket to burn later.”

“Yikes, he was that bad?” He asked, and I raised an eyebrow. He raised his hands in mock surrender and I shook my head.

“I swear, sometimes you forget that you are my brother and not my girl-friend.”

“I can be both depending on the situation, but then again, you would rather speak to a girl than to your own sibling.” He said, mocking me and I laughed. 

“Yes, just like you would rather not gloat about the next girl that you have sleeping in my guest room after you’ve both kept me awake throughout the entire night.” I said, and he smirked.

“Touché.” I walked to my bedroom without answering as I stripped off the jacket. My heart raced against my ribcage as I looked at it for a second too long, recalling his kisses, his eyes on mine, the gentle touch. I looked away as I tried recomposing myself, and taking a deep breath, I threw the jacket on top of my bed before entering the bathroom to shower.

My heart raced as the hot water cascaded around my body, and I couldn’t help but find myself thinking of his blue eyes. The way they met mine as we both danced. The man had approached me in the club, his eyes focused on mine, as if led by some trance, and his voice, which made my heart skip a beat as goosebumps rose over my skin despite the loud music made me gulp.

His words were simple, and his voice was barely loud enough for me to hear, but it was my body that heard it long before my ears did.

“Hello, mate…

I shook my head, snapping myself out of my daze as I took a deep breath.

“Snap out of it, Valerie.” I whispered to myself. “Just fucking snap out of it…”

  • Alpha Alessandro   Chapter 150 (The Last Chapter)

    Valerie: I smiled as I looked at myself in the mirror, my heart skipping a beat at the sight of myself in my wedding dress. I put my hand on my stomach as Rheniera, the last person that I expected to be the best friend that would be by my side through it all, helped me with my veil. “You look beautiful.” She said, making my heart swell. “Do you think that he is going to like it?” I asked, feeling somewhat insecure for a moment. The fact that I knew that I would be walking down the aisle alone was not something that I was going to deny. I neither had a brother or father to do it by my side, but I knew that even if they were alive, neither one of them was going to be there for me today. “He is going to be a blind man if he doesn’t find you as gorgeous tonight.” Alaric’s voice caught me off guard as he walked inside the room. Rheniera smiled at the sight of her brother, and he walked toward us, looking at me. “You look like a beautiful princess. Though most would be fooled by the t

  • Alpha Alessandro   Chapter 149

    Alessandro: I ran my finger over Valerie’s bare shoulder, smiling as I looked down at her as she slept in my arms. The fact that she was now officially mine was something that made my heart swell in ways that I never thought possible. To say the least, I knew that I got everything that I could have ever wished for, and I knew that my wolf was more than just a little content with everything that had happened. I leaned in and kissed her shoulder gently, letting my lips linger there for a few seconds before I put the blanket over her shoulder, covering her. Everything that happened up to this point played in my head, and I got up from the bed, knowing that tomorrow was going to be the third full moon after finding out about everyone’s lie and scandals. I never did expect to find myself being allies with those that I thought were my enemies, and not for one second did I consider that my best friend and ex lover, regardless of when it had happened, would turn their backs on me the way

  • Alpha Alessandro   Chapter 148

    Valerie:Alessandro wrapped his arms around me, turning me around before he laid me back on the pillow.He connected his lips with mine in a kiss that made my chest swell before he pulled away to rest his forehead against mine as he grinded against me.I knew that this was not something that he expected to hear from me after the conversation that the two of us just had. But I knew one thing, and it was me wanting to be his and wanting him to be mine. At this point, it wasn’t something that I had to ask, and it wasn’t something that I had to tell anyone against. He looked me in the eye as he pulled away from me, and for a second, I felt like I was a virgin who was going to have her virginity taken. The nervousness that I felt was one that I could tell Alessandro saw in my gaze, and I couldn’t help but blush when he chuckled and leaned in to kiss my forehead.“If you want me to stop or if you are having your doubts…”I shook my head in response. If anything, I wanted this more than eve

  • Alpha Alessandro   Chapter 147

    Alessandro: It took everything in me not to avoid my mate’s eyes as I spoke to her. I didn’t even know how to describe what I felt, but it seemed to me that she understood everything that I wanted to tell her, without the need of me actually voicing it out. “Leonardo and I grew up together, literally. Mom used to change both our diapers, I didn’t even think, not for a second, that this would have come out of him.” I said, and she nodded. “I cheated on Rheniera, in theory at least, with Daniella. I don’t even know how I was able to look her in the eye when I heard of what Daniella was doing, and the worst part about it was the fact that I didn’t even know why she would be doing so. I didn’t hurt her, I was sure never to do so, at least, before I met you.” The fact that I slept with Valerie was something that I regretted when it happened, and though I am more than a little thankful for my mate and for my daughter; I knew that it wasn’t something that I would want for my daughter to b

  • Alpha Alessandro   Chapter 146

    Valerie: “Hi, baby,” I said, smiling at my little one as she woke up from her sleep. It was around eight in the morning, and though it was a bit early for me to wake up, especially considering the fact that the pack doctors asked me to rest, I still wanted to take the chance to see her. And I knew that she was happy about me being there as I saw her smile and heard her gentle coos of happiness. She looked up at me with big beautiful blue eyes, and I couldn’t help the feeling of contentment that I got, knowing that she was here in my arms, safe at last. And though a part of me knew that Alaric ensured her safety, something in me was never going to be content when it came to the fact that my child was not in my arms, and I knew that everyone that knew us understood that. Alessandro, who was in the changing room when I got out of bed, walked inside her nursery and raised an amused eyebrow. It made my heart swell, but I was more than a little happy to know that we were finally home and

  • Alpha Alessandro   Chapter 145

    Alessandro: If anyone would have told me that I was going to be happy seeing the Lycan alive, I would have punched them in the face. But when my mate ran to him, wrapping her arms around him, hugging him as if he was the one person that she wanted to see right now, I couldn’t help but find myself smiling. Both of them pulled away, and I watched as Valerie stepped back for a second, looking at him before he raised her pendant. “You had one wish when I stole it, and it came true.” He said, looking her in the eye. He wiped her tears before looking at me, and I smiled and nodded. “If I am alive today, it is because you truly didn’t want me dying.” “How would I want you dead when I knew that you were giving your life up for me?” She asked, and I looked at the man. “For me to live, you chose to burn alive. You asked me to go back to Alessandro, and I knew for a fact that he was the last person that you would have wanted me to go back to. You put me first, and…” “And I would do it aga
