Valerie

When we get to the mansion, a procession stands outside to welcome us. Everyone is present. Celeste stands with the maids behind her. Helen is beside her, dressed regally with a wide smile on her face. She steps forward before anyone else and dips her head. “Doctor Manchester, welcome to Bloodcrest Alpha’s mansion.”

Everyone in my past is right in my face again. It’s quite fascinating, I must say. I never thought Helen could look at me with so much fondness. She always despised my very

    CelesteI have allowed myself to turn soft for Sebastian. This isn’t me. The weak woman who would let him walk over her without making a complaint is nothing like me. How dare he try to turn me over to the council? Like everything we have experienced together never happened.This matter involves more than just Bloodcrest. Every pack in the region has a say in any issue that concerns the creation of the Moonblight antidote. I knew all that before choosing to sneak into the lab, which was why I made sure precautions were put in place to prevent them slamming a serious crime on my head. But my precautions weren’t enough. Best case scenario, it will end with a banishment. I’ll be cast out of the region, never to be seen again. Worst case scenario, I’ll be killed. It will most likely be the wodst case scenario. Sebastian knows this, yet he has no intention to cover up for me.“Think about it,” I sneer, the corners of my lips curved up in a dangerous smile. “That mother of yours who you lo

    “It’s about the Luna, and the lab infiltration. I think she is responsible, Alpha.”I scoff, looking at Celeste. “What made you come to that conclusion?”She was identified in the CCTV footage. Worse, she wasn’t alone. I haven’t identified her accomplice, but she had one. They snuck into the lab together.”My hands clench. What has Celeste done? How am I supposed to tell the alpha council that the person who was behind the infiltration is my own Luna? They already think I am the worst member on the council, and this isn’t helping things in anyway.”I push bike down my throat. “I have heard everything you said, Seven. I will do my own investigation and get back to you.”“How do you want me to proceed?”“Continue with the findings. Dig till you find out what she took. Keep it under wraps for now, and report to only me.”“Yes, Alpha.”The call ends. I place the device down on my laps, my eyes on Celeste. Judging by the panic forming in her eyes, she has figured out the truth that she has

    ValerieAn hour later, I am physically ready to go to the lab. Mireya had given me another herb, one to increase my strength and keep me intact. Kai holds me up, his hand around my waist as we move into the building. “Valerie,” Sebastian calls as soon as he sees me. “I didn’t expect you to come.”The place is scanty. The alphas have left, fortunately. I am in no mood to listen to them bicker at each other right now. “I have to inspect my work.”“We’re investigating,” he says. “There’s no way the person behind this didn’t leave any traces. The council has agreed to produce a talented sheriff from each pack. We are also combing through footages on every street to check for clues.”“I appreciate your effort. Can I go in now?”He hesitates, his gaze dropping to Kai’s arm in my waist. His Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows. I can almost smell his rage at what he’s seeing.“You can. But Alpha Kai,” he turns to him. “We need to talk.”Kai frowns, his grip on me tightening. “We have nothing t

    Valerie. Kai holds me back just as I try to go to the door. “What’s the emergency?” He asks. “If Mireya is aware of this, she wouldn’t make you go out to them.”“I need to know.”Oh god! I had been so certain that I wanted to just relax today. Who knew that a single sentence would be enough to ruin everything. There’s no way in hell that I’ll be able rest and be calm if something really happened at the lab. It could be a bio security breach, one that will end up dangerous for everyone. “Who is there?” I yell out. Anna’s voice is quite louder as she replies. “It’s me, doctor Manchester. It’s Anna.”Of course. Mireya had ordered the staff of the hospital to keep mute about the fact that Kai and I have been discharged. Only Anna knows the apartment unit we’re in. I get off the bed and grab a robe, shrugging it on. “Kai, let me speak to her.”He gives me a nod. In thirty seconds, I have made my way over the door, the robe tie knotted securely around my waist. Anna is panting, hands on

    Valerie The area the studio apartment is situated in is eerily quiet, and we are taking advantage of that. The window curtains are drawn, the city lights bleeding through tiny spaces and falling carelessly on the tiles. My fever is fast returning. Just when I thought I had a chance at a quick recovery, things are getting a lot worse. I’m still buzzing from the fever that knocked me down, but it’s fading, replaced by something hotter. Need. Kai’s been hovering since he carried me back from the worst of it, his worry turning into this protective heat that balances us out just like Mireya wanted. I’m wearing his black t-shirt, the hem brushing my thighs, no bra, just soft cotton panties underneath. He’s clad in gray sweatpants that hang low on his hips and a worn white tank that shows off the hard lines of his chest and shoulders. We start in the kitchenette. I’m reaching for a glass of water when Kai steps up behind me, his body pressing against my back. His hands settle on my hips,

    SebastianI think I have had enough bad news for the day. This is just the first part of my official meeting, yet my day is ruined already. Who knows just how bad it will get later. I want to shut Aryan’s mouth up. Tell him that to keep whatever bad news it is for later, but it’s too late.“If you have something to say concerning the antidote, say it,” Alpha Luca says. Nothing will surprise us anymore. At this point, we know the Alpha of Bloodcrest isn't to be trusted at all.”Aryan looks at me, silently asking if I give him the go ahead to say the words. The dumbhead. Couldn' t he have asked for a signal before yelling and alerting everyone?“Alpha Sebastian!” his voice cuts through the lingering murmurs, sharp and breathy, like he’s trying to catch his breath after running for so long. He strides forward without waiting for permission, boots echoing sharply on the stone floor. “Bad news. The main lab… It’s been broken into," of he stutters.“What lab?”“The same one doctor Mancheste

    Valerie“I need to get into Ashville,” I tell Mireya at dinner the next evening. Lucien seats on her lap as she downs a glass of orange juice silently. “They have silverthorn in abundance.”“Request for it.”“Kai would never give it to me.”Placing her cup down, she looks at me, puzzled. “Why? You

    Valerie“Blood crest has improved a lot since the last time I was here,” Mireya muses as the drive takes us through the city. I whip my head around to face her in shock.“You’ve been here before?”“I’m a rouge, Valerie.” she shrugs. “I’ve been everywhere. I only settled in Asheville because it fel

I am a lot calmer, but I still feel dread course through my veins. I can’t get over what happened to Lucien. The amount of blo
