Niklaus' POV I didn't know how I was going through function tonight. One moment, I thought it was finally over. I planned to discuss the situation with the Blood moon pack with my Beta, Gamma and some trusted elders, before deciding what to do. But now... I had known Amara all my life, and I had never seen her broken down like this. Damien picked her up, while my brothers carried Jared's lifeless body. "Where are you taking her?" I asked Damien. "To the pack house. I am not living her all alone in her house." He said, and I nodded in agreement. His eyes were red rimmed, like he was trying to hold back his own tears. Jared was a warrior under him. He had always been loyal, selfless, easy going, and he was good at what he does. But I knew that he was also saddened because of Amara, since he loved her... He had always loved her. Valerie was holding on to me tightly, her face buried in my chest as she cried silently. I ran my hand through her back, trying to give her whatever comfor
Valerie's POV It was the night of the full moon, the night I would officially become the Luna of this pack. I was supposed to be happy, but I wasn't, I couldn't even bring myself to smile. Amara went to see Jared's parents yesterday, and she came back this morning looking worse than she was before. And I didn't know how to help her. Klaus had made plans for this day. He wanted to throw a big party that would last through the night and the next day, but now, I didn't even want that. I just wanted a small private ceremony with just a few close friends and his family. Carrie and Nadine were with me as I get dressed. Nadine and Andrew decided to stay in our pack until after the ceremony before they go back. While Carrie made sure I looked perfect, Nadine was briefing me about being a Luna. She told me stories of her Luna ceremony, the things to expect, and how I needed to shift into my wolf. The last part bothered me because I had not shifted since I got to this pack. In fact, had no
Ronald's POVI was stuck in this dark place for goddess knows how long, held strongly by these thick chains. I had struggled against them over and over again to no avail. The chains were strong and made to hold powerful wolves, even Alphas. Maybe I might has managed to escape, but the sick Gamma here kept coming to check on me.Check? That was a way of putting it lightly.I was basically a ragdoll in his sight. He was even more obsessed with dealing with me than Niklaus was, like he had a personal vendetta against me. My whole body was opened and covered with whip marks and cuts from hot knives or any metal he could find. He would not let the old wounds heal before inflicting new ones.As if I wasn't going through enough already, a pain suddenly hit my chest, and I knew that Valerie was wrapped up in Niklaus' arms. But this was a different kind of pain. It had always hurt so bad, but this right here, this was hell, my body was on fire.I could only think of one reason. The bastard fin
Valerie's POVKlaus carried me to the room in quick strides, like he just couldn't wait to get there. And frankly, I couldn't wait as well. The mating sent us both into a sexual frenzy, I felt like I would die if my pussy don't get filled this instant.I was already undoing the buttons of his shirt, while my lips kept sucking on the spot in his neck where I marked him even before we got to the room. Omegas saw us, but I couldn't bring myself to care at the moment.The moment Klaus put me down, I ripped his shirt open, sending some of the buttons flying away. His hard chest came into view, and I swallowed hungrily, feeling the throb between my legs intensify.He didn't give me any time to admire the artwork that was his body, before grabbing my waist and pulling me to himself.He grabbed a fistful of my hair, tilting my head back before his lips crushed against mine, kissing me roughly and possessively. But I wanted more.His free hand came to my dress, wanting to tug it off, but he wa
Valerie's POVI opened my eyes the next morning to see Klaus beside me. His hand was around my waist and he was holding me possessively like someone told him they would steal me away.A smile graced my lips. Last night was amazing, I could almost still feel him in my core."You are staring so much, it's becoming creepy." Klaus suddenly uttered with a groggy voice without opening his eyes."I don't care. You look so perfect." I whispered, as I grazed my hands over his face. He let out a small sigh of satisfaction, before opening his eyes."Good morning, my Luna."My heart did a little dance at that. "Good morning, Alpha.""I added 'my' to yours, but you are going to call me just 'Alpha', and you don't see how that is unfair?"I stared at him for a short while, before giggles burst out of my mouth.He got up halfway, his body just supported on the bed by his right elbow. He then leaned in and kissed my lips."Can I get a little quickie from you, my chocolate beauty?" He asked this, but
Niklaus' POVI had much to do, especially now that I had the Blood moon pack. I needed to talk with the Beta, Gamma and Luna there. Even though I had Tania imprisoned here, I still shifted the meeting to tomorrow. I just wanted to spend time with my mate.But as soon as we got back into the pack house, that wish was pushed aside.Right in the living room, Amara and Sofia were yelling at each other. No, Amara was the one doing most of the yelling, drowning out Sofia's voice.What made the scene even more absurd was the fact that my brothers, Beta and Gamma were there. Fredrick was on his phone, pretending like the scene in front of him didn't exist. David and Dante— those two— they were excitedly watching the drama. Marcel was absent minded, which was very strange. Usually, he would either cheer them on, or try to make them stop.My Beta was staring at them with rapt attention, probably waiting for the perfect moment to stop them. While my Gamma... goddess, Damien looked like he was ju
THIS CHAPTER IS WRITTEN IN THE THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWThe next morning, Niklaus was informed that the Beta and Gamma from the Blood Moon Pack had arrived. He instructed Jamie to lead them to the patio outside, while Damien went to fetch Tania. As much as he didn’t want her presence, she still technically held the position of the Luna of the Blood moon pack.Later, he and Valerie joined them, walking hand in hand.The seven of them took their seats around the table. The Beta’s face was contorted into a permanent frown, as if even the air around him irritated him, while the Gamma maintained a neutral expression."We demand to see Alpha Ronald." Beta Gerald said, almost growling, making Niklaus want to roll his eyes."You are in no position to make demands. I only allowed you here to determine whether I will be keeping your pack or letting you have it." Klaus responded, leaning back in his seat. Beta Gerald clenched his jaw in anger, but he could not do anything."Now that the title
Valerie's POV Klaus and I walked quietly up the stairs to our room. I knew that he was angry at me, and it made me uneasy. When we entered the room, he locked the door and faced me. "What Tania said, is it true?" I lowered my gaze before I nodded. "Why?" He sounded disappointed, and I felt a pang in my heart. I didn't like that at all. "I was trying to help, I'm sorry." I murmured. "You don't trust in me or what? You know that is against the rules." His voice was laced with hurt and betrayal, and I didn't expect my heart to hurt the way it did. He never liked the idea that I saw Tania in the first place, but now... I hated how he felt like I betrayed him. I shook my head, desperate to make him understand. "Nik, I was just worried. I know that Ronald will never play fair. I was sure of it, and I just couldn't bear the thought of losing you." "Why didn't you tell me since then?" "The fight was over. We won, many stuff happened since then. I didn't even remember it." He brows k
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
Niklaus' POVI already knew that Amelia hated me, but that was no business of mine, as I hated her too. The animosity between us was so great that everyone knew and they had all accepted it. So I really did not expect her actions to hurt me, but it did.She was looking at me with fear, her body trembling, and all I wanted to do was crush her and wipe her off the face of this earth. She didn't just come for me— she came for my mate. She knew everything that Valerie had gone through, and she was willing to just throw her back to Ronald, all for what?Everything in me was telling me to just end her, but something was stopping me— her children— my siblings. What would I say to Adeline if I killed her mother?As if on cue, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a pissed off Marcel stormed in."What the fuck are you doing to my mother?" He asked, wanting to come to me, but Jamie and Damien blocked his path. "You are hurting her, let go!""Is your son aware that you tried to kill me, Amelia?
