Sebastian.

“What if she was innocent?” Valerie Manchester’s question rings in my head over and over. It’s been hours, yet I still can’t get her voice out of my head. She had asked a very important question, started a problematic discourse. What if Valerie was innocent? What if I sent an innocent woman to her death?”

I toss and turn on the bed, releasing a groan of frustration. It would have been better to keep this case buried. I shouldn’t have given the doctor a chance to bring it up if I had

    ~~Selene~~I spend the next morning picking out dresses for my prewedding shoot. Roman had sent half a dozen stylists to my apartment to ensure everything goes smoothly. The man seems to be a lot nicer than I thought. According to what I know of him, he has always been aloof and strict, keeping his doors close to everyone else. He doesn’t act that way with me, though. He gave me a fraction of his shares and is also following up on the wedding meticulously.The stylists spend the whole time chattering and gushing about Rain and I, praying for a union as ‘blessed’ as ours. I have a hard time keeping a straight face. If only they know the real truth about everything.By noon, we have two dresses ready. With a facebeat, I'm ready to head to the studio. I head out to my car, only to hear a honk in the distance. Rain is seated in a Porsche. His hand against the steering wheel as he honks at me.“He’s here to pick you up,” one of the stylists says. “Miss Vaughn, your fiance is so romantic.”

    ~~Sebastian~~Theron had set up a meeting for later. He didn’t care that Valerie could be in even more danger, that his delay was detrimental to her life. All he could care about was his desperation to humble me. I could see it in his eyes, and I hated that there was nothing I could do to stop him.“Where is Celeste?” I have heard of her little stunt with Alpha Kai. I don't know what is going through that man’s mind, if he has any intention to take celeste, I won’t stop him. But I won’t let him take Valerie away.“She was seen returning to the villa, Alpha,” Theron answered beside me. “I believe your mother had sent out instructions for her to be confined at home till you return. A rumour is spreading about your divorce.”Not just about the divorce. Celeste had made a show in front of everyone, going as far as getting a facebeat for Kai. Any sensible person would be able to put two and two together and figure out what’s really going on here.“And theron?”“He’s waiting in his home. Sh

    Valerie“Will I really die, Mireya?” I ask her minutes later as she dresses me up in the scrub for the surgery. “I need to know”“You don’t need to.”“No. If this surgery will kill me, then I should know, at least.” “I can’t determine that.”“So my survival is fifty fifty.”She exhales, turning to me. “You shouldn’t be worried about that right now. Why don’t you just focus on surviving and recovering. You have Lucien to think of.” “That’s exactly why I need to know, Mireya. If this surgery will kill me. If there’s a chance that I won't survive as a result of this surgery, then I need to know. I need to see Lucien one last time."“I’m afraid you won’t survive long enough to see him.”“What does that mean?”“You’re a doctor, do I even need to explain this to you?” she points at the blood on my gauze. “You have lost tons of blood. You think you’ll survive any longer?” The blood drips down the scrub. I am even surprised that I am still standing strong.“Are you sure Lucien is the only

    ValerieMy brows furrow, forehead creasing into thin lines as I stare at Anna. Mireya looks down at herr, waving off her greeting casually.“Rise to your feet. I stopped deserving acknowledgement like this a long time ago.”“You are the legendary founder of the medical council that pioneered improved healthcare in the north region,” Anna announces. “If I don't remember any other thing my professors taught me, I remember that I have to respect you. We’re to keep our heads down when you speak, give you the respect you deserve. Please, do not deny me that.”Mireya rolls her eyes, holding a hand out to help Anna up. "I am giving you a pass from today. You don’t need to go all out while greeting me, as I know your intentions already. I have never been used to flattery, so don’t overdo it.”I have always known mireya to be very respected in the werewolf world. She has a wide range of connections, and the Alphas are always vying to please her, but I didn't know that she is the legendary fou

    Valerie.“I need help,” I scream, gesturing to the people outside. “Get in her and get him out, please.”Kai is unresponsive. I pull him up, and for the first time since I woke up, I feel the effect of the heat on my skin. He’s hot, scorching.In a few seconds, the attendants swarm in. They lift him off the floor and take him out. I follow suit, running after him.“Miss Manchester, you have to get back in there,” Anna yells. “If your temperature drops again, we won’t be able to contain it.”I ignore her. How am I expected to sit back when Kai is suddenly in danger all because of me. “Tell me what happened to him instead. Spare me the lecture and tell me–”“I informed him of the side effects of the procedure. He opted to stay with you nevertheless.”How could he do that? He’s the Alpha of a pack, for Pete’s sake.“We need to get him treated.” My hand grows stiff. The cold is returning. It feels like it will turn into an iced statue anytime soon, but I keep going. “Get a cold tub ready

    ValerieWhat the hell is happening? Why am I in here with Kai? Why did he think it’s a good idea to stay here when it’s burning?“Your temperature is too low. You had to be here.”What does that even mean? Why am I so cold?“And you? What are you doing here?’For some reason, I can't feel the heat. But there's no way Kai can’t. There are multiple woods burning in the room. “You were poisoned, Valerie. Do you remember anything? Do you know what you ate or drank that was poisonous?”Poisoned? How on earth did that happen? I was very careful. I made sure everything was checked for poison. Besides, Sebastioan had put in effort to prevent me from getting hurt in his house. How did a poison end up in my system?“I can’t remember,” I shake my head. The gauze wrapped around my head is heavy, with blood dripping from it. “I don’t know anything.”“You don’t need to.” Kai hugs me tighter. “Mireya is almost here. She has never disappointed me before. She’ll be able to save you.For a moment, I l

    Kai A fiery furnace. That’s the perfect phrase to describe her. No human has ever spoken to me in that manner within seconds of meeting, yet she did. I sensed her fear and uncertainty. What I never expected is that she’d water them down and hold her head high to challenge me. “Alpha Kai,” Seraph

    Valerie“Come with me.”Those three words from Lady Juliet are all it takes. I place my baby down on the bed and trail after her with mild difficulty, taking deep breaths along the way. She wades through the hallways, acknowledging greetings from guards stationed everywhere. I follow her into an el

    Valerie“With all due respect, Alpha, there’s no reason for you to keep me tied up like this. I only followed the rules of the land. We have treated spies a lot worse than I did in the past. Why is it a problem when I treat Valerie this way?”Seraphina has been claiming to be right all day. Accordi

    Valerie I don’t get to eat the sumptuous meal the cooks may have prepared for me. I didn’t realise how tired I was until I woke up hours later. I had drifted off to sleep almost immediately Kai left me in his room. When my eyes open again, it’s at the break of dawn. I sit up, a smile lining my face
