What do you think?
Valerie's POVAs usual, I woke up alone in bed. Alpha Niklaus would always wake up before me, and I wondered what time he rises."Good morning, Love. Did you sleep well?" His voice startled me, and I sat up to see him leisurely sitting on the couch, with his phone on one hand."Good morning, Alpha."He rolled his eyes. "Good morning to you too, Omega."I giggled. "Why does that sound endearing coming from you, Alpha?""I believe you are on something, Omega." He gave me a warm smile, showing those lovely dimples of his, and I was reminded of our little kiss.I checked my wrists, and saw more marks on them. I had been waking up with them, but I was already used to this pain, so I didn't bother. It was just Ronald going around fucking girls. I knew that the Alpha noticed it as well, but he didn't say anything. Maybe he just didn't want to make me uncomfortable."You should get down from there and get ready. We are joining the family for breakfast."My eyes widened. "Why am I joining?""Y
Valerie's POVThe next morning, Gamma Damien offered to drive me to my new job. The Alpha and the Beta were very busy this morning, so the Gamma decided to. Beta Jamie tried to discourage him, and said that Mario could take me instead, and I wondered why. Gamma Damien insisted though.The Gamma smiled at me as I walked to the car."Good morning, Valerie. How are you doing? I hope the Alpha isn't giving you a hard time." He asked, flashing me a warm smile as I approached the car.I shook my head. "He has no choice but to be good to me." I said, and his eyes widened slightly, before he laughed. I knew that he was surprised to hear that from me. I even surprised myself too."I have always known that you've got some spunk in you."He opened the door and held it for me, then closed it only when I had entered. It would take a while for me to get used to this treatment. Back in Alpha Ronald's pack, I was not allowed to associate with other people in the pack, especially men. For some reason,
THIS CHAPTER WILL BE WRITTEN IN THIRD POV ~At the southern border on the Crescent wolves pack, a few hours before dawn.A girl lay, trembling on the cold bare floor, curled up like a foetus, naked and dirty. Blood and bruises could be seen on various parts of her body. The bruises were mostly cuts of different shapes and sizes, looking like they had been purposely inflicted on her. Sweat drenched dark hair stuck to her face, as tears rolled down her eyes.She lay in that position for a while, before one of the men patrolling the border took note of her."Who are you?" He asked, his voice a mixture of shock and curiosity, but she didn't respond. He moved closer, his voice softening. "Miss?"When she ignored him again, he signalled another man close by."Shit! What in the world?" The second man asked with wide eyes, frozen in disbelief."I met her here like this. What should we do?" The first man asked."We should get her clothes first. Then by morning, we get her to the pack house and
Valerie's POV Ronald's sex spree had reduced drastically since I left the pack. Since the day Alpha Niklaus and I kissed, I had not felt the pains or had the infidelity marks. Until last night. He was on a Marathon. I couldn't sleep through out the night. I kept whimpering in pain. I thought I was already used to it. Niklaus noticed and held me through the night, and I could not deny that I was thankful that he made me share a bed with him. Now it was morning, and the Alpha was no where to be found. Well, the door opened at that moment to reveal the Alpha, in all his rugged handsomeness, holding a small bottle. "You are awake, Love." He stated, as he approached me. "How do you feel now?" He crouched down in front of me, taking my hands and examining my wrists. "I feel better." He trailed his fingers along the marks, as if it would help me feel better. I guess it did, or maybe I just love the feeling of his hand on mine. "The bastard!" He murmured under his breath. He opened the
Ronald's POV It had been eleven days since Tania left the pack to help me get her sister, and I had heard nothing from her. I knew that she was able to fool the men on the Crescent wolves border, as I had my men watching, but I could not tell what had happened after that until now.I barely touch any woman now. All I wanted was my mate. To make it worse, Alpha Niklaus was touching her. And very often. Mostly in the morning. I could only guess that they were sleeping on the same bed. He had not gone all the way to fuck her yet, but it was only a matter of time. I could tell by the level of pain their intimacy brings me. I dread the day that they would finally fuck."I have told you to be a little patient. Tania might be having a hard time getting to her. She's with Alpha Niklaus now, she's not an easy target." Beta Gerald tried to calm me down, but I was only getting pissed. We were in my office, together with my gamma."She has just three days left, and I have heard nothing from her.
Ronald's POVOne day! Just one day left, and I had not heard anything from Tania. I wanted to send men to the Crescent wolves' pack, but it had always been difficult to infiltrate the pack. Tania was smart to pretend and actually appear like she needed help, as that was the only way they would let her through without trying to find out who she truly was.Knowing that Tania had failed in her mission, I had no other choice. I had to meet up with Alpha Niklaus. The bastard sent me an invitation since, but I refused to honour it. I thought I would had gotten her back by now.My Beta offered to go with me, while my Gamma chose to stay back, as someone needed to be in charge. But I knew that he just was not in support me. My Beta wasn't in support too, but he wasn't as repulsed as Reuben. But I did not care. I would be going with some of my pack warriors too, because they had a role to play in helping me get my mate back.I sent an official mail, directed to the Alpha of the Crescent wolves
Valerie's POVNo better way to shame an Alpha than to have him on his knees before another Alpha, but he deserved it. Knowing Ronald and his pride, this was a huge blow to him.He was groaning in pain, and his men were confused on what to do. They were looking around, trying to find the source of the gunshots, but there was none on sight. They had their guns pointed at Niklaus, and Beta Gerald was particularly focused on him, but they were not attacking. I was scared for Niklaus, but he didn't look the least bothered. Or was he just too good at hiding it?"I need you to reject the bond between you two." Niklaus demanded, and Ronald looked at him like he could not make sense of the situation. His gaze left him and landed on me, before he burst into laughter. He was in pain, but he still managed to laugh.I felt my heart squeeze in a bad way. Seeing him brought back memories, painful memories. For a while, I had tried to forget all that he did to me, all those times I felt so alone, so
Niklaus' POVValerie was super quiet through out the ride. She was not crying any longer, but she had her head on the headrest of the seat, her eyes shut tightly. I knew that she was in no mood to talk, so I let her be.I was going to drive her home, but I changed my mind. Instead I drove her to a place where I used to come anytime I was feeling down, especially back then when Amelia was opposing everything I did.Valerie didn't even notice our change of destination until I stopped the car. Her eyes fluttered open, and she turned to me, confused at our surrounding.Before us was a field of wild flowers, blooming vibrantly and swaying gently to the breeze, the beautiful colourful meadow I call my sanctuary.I stepped out of the car, and Valerie followed after, her face now a mixture of curiosity and awe. I smiled as I noticed that she had forgotten her ordeal for now, and she was more keen in taking in our surrounding.She walked up me, and I took her hand in mine, enjoying the feel of
Solana's POVAnger. Annoyance. Frustration.Those were the emotions battling for dominance within me.I hated this man. I hated him for all that he and his pack had put me through. And I hated the goddess even more for pairing me with him. Apart from being heartless, he was an annoying pain in the ass. And every single thing he did annoyed me. He was a walking trigger.But what was worse? I hated myself even more. Because despite all the hatred I felt for him, I could not deny the excitement I feel when he was close. I could not deny that the mere sound of his voice made me want to drop my panties. Fuck me, his touch was electric, placing unholy thoughts in my head.I had spent less than a day with him, and I was already this done. This was dangerous for me. For my heart and sanity.I needed to escape. But how could I when he was always with me? He gave me a room, but he decided to stay with me there. What was the point then?A serving lady came in earlier to give us food, and I had n
Marcel's POV"If you think you are going to just keep me here and expect me to sit and listen to you like some little princess, you better think again." Solana yelled. She was sitting on a couch, frowning at everything.Oh, I already knew that. She showed it to me in every fucking possible way. It was morning already, and she didn't get a wink of sleep. Neither did I. She made sure of it.I gave her a good room, perfectly furnished and filled with everything that she might need. But Solana complained about it, just like she complained about every single thing, even the way my face looked. I never thought I would ever think myself ugly. No I was not ugly. I was far from it. I have had girlfriends in the past, and they all confessed about how handsome I looked. In fact, people easily get charmed by me even if I was not trying to. But then, there was Solana. Stubbornness personified."What do you want to do?" I asked, pinching the bridge of my nose."I want to go out. Take me home to my
INTRODUCTION Solana: My brother sent me out of the pack as a child for reasons unknown to me, but when he was faced with a duel against an Alpha he could not defeat alone, he called me back to help him. I came back with a mission— help my brother defeat Alpha Niklaus in the duel, find my way in the werewolf world and build a life for myself. None of those plans included finding my mate. I had no plans on what to do when my mate turned out to be part of the enemy— a very handsome enemy that blurs the line between blood and bond, lust and loyalty. °°°°°° Marcel: I had always been loyal and devoted to my family and pack. Just as I began to mend the cracks in the relationship with my brother, the goddess decided to test me with an impossible bond, one that ties me to the sister of our pack's greatest enemy. Solana is sharp-tongued, defiant, and everything forbidden. I was supposed to hate her. But how could I when every glance ignites a fire, when every touch threatens to c
Valerie's POV The cool wind blew past me, as I ran through the forest, my paws thudding the ground. I could not remember the last time I went on a run like this, and it almost felt like I shifted for the first time. It felt amazing, too good to be true. What made it more amazing was the fact that I had my mate here with me, and I could feel all the love he had for me. The goddess didn't hate me after all. I could hear my mate's paws behind me. He was close, but he was not catching me here. But I knew that he was the one that slowed down on purpose, giving me more time to run. Taking the opportunity, I changed direction. I decided to run to the meadow where he once took me— his place of peace. I shifted back to my human form when I got there, and I lay on the flowers naked. Klaus also shifted as he caught up to me. There was a broad smile on his handsome face, as he stared at me like I was the only thing that mattered to him. "Nice choice of place to come, Love." I giggled.
Niklaus' POV If it was left to me, I would had taken Ronald out in a more gruesome way. I was certain Damien would agree. But I was an Alpha, and I had a reputation to maintain. Also, I didn't want my mate to think I was barbaric. Anyway, I did ensure that I tortured him enough when he was here. I took Valerie to bed, and she fell asleep in an instant. Since we found out she was pregnant, apart from the fact that she now ate like a bull, she slept like a baby too. The moment her body touched any relaxing surface, she would drift off to sleep. I wrapped one hand around her, as I snuggled closer. Her soft snores filled the room, and I could not help the smile that appeared on my face. It didn't take too long before I too was lulled to sleep. I could not tell how many hours had past when I heard a commotion outside. I got up and walked to the balcony, only to see my warriors blocking Marcel's path. He was with Solana, and he was dragging her out to his car. The whole situation confus
Valerie's POV Klaus and I woke up late the next morning, and we had another round of sex. Sweet, slow and gentle this morning, in contrast to the hot one last night, but I still loved it. Then we had our bath together, before getting ready for the day. "I want to let Solana go." Klaus said, and a faint smile appeared on my face. I had been thinking about it, and I was going to bring it up soon. But he beat me to it. We had looked into her, and we found out that she really didn't have anything to do with Ronald's actions— except during the duel. She grew up in human territory, leaving her life like a normal girl, with her aunt who got married to a human. She moved out when she turned eighteen, finished her schooling at 20, and starting working at a hospital. She was a nurse, and she was hardworking. She only came back when Ronald asked her to. The only thing we were not able to find out about was her strange powers. Was she a witch, or just something else entirely? She hardly used
Niklaus' POVLong after Valerie had slept, I was still awake. I called Bryce back to finish his report, but after that, I remained awake. I wasn't busy with anything. I purposely ignored all my duties for this night. The thought of my family kept me awake.I wasn't exactly sad or disturbed about the situation. If I were, the sex with Valerie put my mind at ease."I love you." I murmured, as I kissed the side of her head. She was currently lying with her head placed on my lap, while I ran my fingers smoothly through her hair.Maybe it was not just thoughts about my family keeping me awake. Maybe I just loved to watch my mate sleep.A knock on the door soon pulled my attention away from her, and a frown appeared on my face. I already knew who was there. I could smell him.I tucked Valerie under the sheets, making sure she was properly covered, as she was naked. Then I picked up my sweatpants and wore it, before going to the door.There, Marcel stood, holding two bottles of strong wine.
Niklaus' POVAfter the talk between Valerie and my siblings, I didn't feel like doing anything pack related, so I pushed all the work to tomorrow. Valerie wanted to bath, and I decided that I would join her. But that was when my assistant in my company decided to call me to give reports, so Valerie went in before me.I was still on the call when she stepped out. I stopped hearing what my assistant was saying, as I watched her walk around in her tiny towel. It was so short that I was certain that it would not cover her ass, and her whole thighs was exposed for me to feast on.As if she knew what she was doing to me, she gave me a naughty smile.Using my hand, I gestured for her to turn around, and she did. And I was right, half of her ass was out. I salivated, as I imagined running my hands on the soft flesh."Sir, are you there?" My assistant asked me, but I ignored him. His voice was beginning to sound jarring in my ears since Valerie came out anyway.Valerie gave me a smile I found
Valerie's POVTwo days passed, and the house felt so strange. Klaus and his siblings had not said a word to each other, and none of them seemed to be making a move to resolve that. I decided to talk to all of them that day, but I wanted everything to be calm first to avoid the clash of all these hot headed Alpha bloods.Now I invited all of them to the living room, and as the Luna, they could not refuse. Klaus didn't want the gathering, but I fluttered my lashes at him and rubbed his chest, and he folded.Now we were all seated in different couches, the silence uncomfortable and suffocating. The siblings didn't really have the best of relationship with one another, but it was not this bad.I stood in the center as I watched them. Marcel had a scowl on his face, looking so impatient, as if he could not just wait to get out of here. He seemed too angry nowadays, even before the incident with his mother. That just made it worse.David and Dante, although not as relaxed as Klaus, didn't
