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
Ronald's POVI said nothing to my Beta until we got back to our pack house, but I sent a powerful punch to his jaw the moment we stepped out of the car. He was the one that convinced me, reassured me, and now look what happened.Not only did I not get my mate back, I was humiliated in front of my men. I saw my mate wrapped up in the arms of another man, all her body exposed for him to see. I wondered if she had shown him her fully naked body. She dared to even talk back at me that way, call me names, disrespect me. What was worse, she went to make out with that Alpha. I could hardly breathe through out our ride, and my wrists were filled with the marks of infidelity.Gerald did not bother to fight back, and it pissed me off even more. Maybe if he did, it would help calm this raging storm inside of me. I sent another blow to his jaw, followed by a kick to his kneecap, which sent him doubling over, before he steadied himself.Some Omegas were passing by and he would probably be embarras
Valerie's POVI woke up very early the next morning, unable to wipe the smile off my face. I was finally part of this pack, and I could not be happier. Ironic how I thought I would just use Alpha Niklaus to escape my old pack, then go my way, but now, I could not see myself anywhere else.I breathed hard as Gamma Damien mercilessly had me doing some routines over and over until I got it right. He said he was building my stamina, and after that, he would teach me self defense lessons."Come on, sweetheart. Don't be tired. I want you to be able to kick the Alpha's ass soon enough." He urged me on, and I laughed. "After this, we are going to race down the track."I gasped in shock, my joints aching from my exercises. "Race? Today? I will pass out." And I was not kidding."You are a wolf, come on."I rolled my eyes. I had an Omega wolf, his was much stronger."And don't worry, I won't let you pass out. I don't want a raging Alpha biting my head off."I blushed. Damien would cease every op
Niklaus' POVI had seen many challenges in life, and I had overcame them. But my mate was a new challenge, a different kind. I had asked myself over and over what I wanted with her, but I had not been able to answer that. I thought about her by my side, and it didn't seem so bad. I thought about her away from me, and no thought had ever irritated me the way that one did. And I was ready to deal with anyone who would dare try to take her away from me. She was mine.I reached for her top and pulled it off her, before unclipping her bra and taking it off as well. Now my eyes fell on her round breasts, beautiful, big enough for my hand to cover, nipples pointed.I cupped the both of them, kneading them gently. She closed her eyes, a small smile on her face. She loved my touch.I left her breasts and roamed my hands around her body, and she squirmed in response to my touch.I lowered my face to her chest, taking one of her nipples in my mouth, and a gasp escaped her lips as she arched towa
Valerie's POVNiklaus took me his office after we were done cleaning up. Beta Jamie was seated on the couch at the corner of his room, his eyes assessing us as we stepped in."You both smell good." He teased, and I felt my face heat so much, I fear it might combust. I forgot that these top wolves had a strong sense of smell.Niklaus ignored his remark and walked to his chair, before motioning to me to come over and sit on his laps. I glanced at the Beta who was staring at us with a huge grin on his face."Go on." Beta Jamie urged me on teasingly. "I won't judge.""You might end up with a stab wound, Jamie, if you don't stop teasing her." Niklaus warned, and Jamie raised his hands in mock surrender.I finally went over, and the Alpha pulled me into his laps."The call is from the Blood moon pack." He stated as he checked his office phone."Yes." Beta Jamie responded, unsurprised. The playful tone in the room dissipated, and I could feel an angry wave coming from the Alpha, while I felt
Niklaus' POV Valerie and I got back to the pack in the evening, and I decided to take her shopping before returning to the pack house. It was night already when we got home, and she went straight to bed. Beta Jamie told me about some complaints from some of my pack members in the western side, so I decided to check on them. I went to my office, going through the files and documents when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I said without looking up from what I was doing, and the door opened slowly and a female figure slipped in. Not Valerie or Carrie whom I was used to seeing in my office, but Sofia. She gave me a nervous smile, before she walked over. "I was just passing by and I saw the lights on. I figured you were still awake, so I decided to check on you. Do you need any help?" I stared at her suspiciously. What could she possibly want? Maybe for me to change her placement? That would not be happening anyway. "No, Sofia. I do not need help." I responded in a passive tone.
Valerie's POV Ever since Niklaus mentioned that I would be his Luna, I could not help but feel like I did not deserve the position. Apart from the fact that I was his mate, why else would I be given the position? Aside from the people in the pack house and the ones I met at Amara's, I truly didn't know anyone here. That was already a red flag because a Luna takes care of her people, not hide from them. I did my routine the next morning, where Damien would not stop asking me about Sofia and how I felt about what she did. Just like Klaus, he asked me if I wanted to punish Sofia. I still wasn't interested in punishing anyone. After we were done, I went in to find Carrie. I needed to speak to her about the Luna thing, but I found Amelia at the entrance instead. Her gaze narrowed as she sized me up, and unlike the last time, I didn't shrink under the weight of her scrutiny. "Is there a problem, ma'am?" I asked, staring back at her. She was obviously displeased, but I was passed caring a
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
INTRODUCTIONSolana: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 consume?******
Valerie's POVThe 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. My eyes wer
Niklaus' POVIf 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 confused m
Valerie's POVKlaus 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 her
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
Niklaus' POVI watched through my room balcony and listened as my siblings packed Amelia's things in a hurry, before the time I gave her elapses. They were mostly all sad and brooding, while Adeline kept crying. I hoped she would forgive me, but I didn't regret what I did. I even showed mercy. I wanted Amelia dead.I had no idea which pack she was relocating to, and I didn't care. The packs close by would not take her in as most were my allies. The ones that weren't might see her as a spy. She would really have to start life alone.My heart clenched as I remembered the first time I met her. I was only three years old and I had lost my mom a year ago. My dad was mostly busy with pack duties and he felt like he was neglecting me. That was why he chose to have another Luna— to take care of me. He chose an Omega because he thought she would do a better job.My father courted her in secret, and by the time he brought her home, she was already marked.**************Flashback: Alpha Niklaus
