Valeria POV

This was the last thing he said before cutting the call abruptly. I stared at the phone, anger rushing through me in waves. How dare he call me a monster? I never killed anyone and never did anything monsterious. Mother is alive and well; I didn’t kill her like they claimed I almost did, so how dare he? He is the monster who has cast away his child since she was born, and for no reason. All I ever did was born and exist, so how dare he open his filthy mouth to call me a monster?

“Valeria, I can feel your anger from here.” Damien’s voice cut me off from my thoughts. He mind linked me.

“What happened?” he asked softly, and I sighed, my eyes getting teary.

“Valeria,” Darcy called, trying to hide her fear, but I could just feel it. I put my face in my palms, crying out loud.

“Am I truly a monster?” I cried. She didn’t say a word, then she placed her hand on my shoulders and hugged me to herself.

“You’re not a monster, Valeria; you are the sweetest person I know. You can be a

    Valeria POVIt was the next day, a few hours before the Luna ceremony, and I was with Darcy and a few omegas dressing up. The pack seems very busy; I have barely seen Damien today. His parents were supposed to arrive yesterday, but something happened, so he went to make sure they arrived safely while also watching over the event. Today has been passing by in a blur; it felt like my body was here but my soul was in another place. I never thought an alpha would be my mate; I never thought I would be a luna to a powerful alpha one day, but I guess it’s really crazy how things can change.“Valeria,” Darcy called, and I looked up at her. She sighed.“Can you smile? Be in a better mood, at least. If the pack notices your foul mood, it will rub off on them,” she said. I sighed, looking in the mirror. She was doing my makeup.“I am trying hard to hide the stress lines and dark circles. I thought you slept the whole of yesterday. Why are you so worn out today?” she asked. I didn’t really sleep

  • In The Hands Of My Alpha   Chapter 42 (Luna Ceremony)

    Valeria POVI walked down the aisle dressed in a plain white gown. The night seems to be passing in a blur. The sweet music is playing, and the pack holding candles with a soft melody coming out of their lips. Almost everyone from the pack is present. The pack is quite large because there are a lot of people here. The ceremony is happening in the field, and everyone is watching. I took my oats, promising to protect the pack and always put them first. I promised myself to keep that promise; this pack has been a better home, and they have all been so accepting. I don’t know what is really going on with the whole Lux stuff, but I truly promise to protect the pack as a mother hen would protect her chicks. After they announced me as Luna, Damien told the crowd we wouldn’t be able to take a run and we should just have fun and eat with the pack, and that’s what we did. “This is a lot of food,” I said, looking at the different tables at the buffet. How did they cook this so fast? “I inform

    Valeria POV“Accepted,” I said, smirking at her scared face. Everyone went silent, and I waited for Damien to confirm the challenge, even if I had already confirmed it by saying I accept. Damien didn’t say anything, and we all remained in silence.“Kate, you challenged Luna Valeria for her position as Luna and her mate,” the former alpha Blake said, and nobody could miss the annoyance in his tone. She turned to him.“Yes,” she replied. “And you accept the challenge, Valeria?” He asked me next.“Yes, alpha,” I replied. He is no longer the alpha, but obviously everyone still respects him as the alpha. He nods his head.“A challenge has been formed and would take place here in the field in a week, and it would be a challenge to death,” he said. There were murmurs, but I just looked at Kate. I am definitely not dying in the challenge, and I will make sure of it. I was scared before because I didn’t have a wolf and never trained; now I have my wolf, an alpha wolf. She is no match for me i

    Valeria POVIt was the next day, and of course I woke up with a terrible headache. I sat in the kitchen groaning while rubbing my head. Everyone was there, and I noticed how they were just staring at me. I was confused, but didn’t want to mention anything.“Here is the soup,” Luna said, handing over a bowl of soup to me and Darcy. Of course, we both have hangovers.“Ugh, how much did I drink yesterday?” she said, blowing on her soup. I chuckled. “You wanted to get some with Sam, so you kept drinking,” I said, remembering clearly when she started drinking because I hadn’t drunk at all at the time. She made me drink; I shouldn’t have listened.“I did?” she asked, looking. I chuckled.“You look worn out; at least you got some,” I said, drinking my soup. It is blazing hot.“Careful, Valeria,” Luna said, and I smiled at her, nodding my head.“I didn’t get any Valeria; I can feel my legs,” Darcy said. I looked at her in disgust because I don’t want to know her and Sam's bedroom activities.

    Valeria POVI lay on the floor, sweating.“Come on Valeria, you’ve not landed any hits,” Alpha said, standing above me. I looked at him, the sun entering my eyes directly. I breathed out, standing up. I stretched my body tiredly, staring at Alpha. He has been whooping my ass for two straight hours, and I have not landed any hits. “Damien, you’ve been going easy on her,” he said, looking at his son, who has been watching him whoop my ass. But my ears stretched at his statement. Easy? “Easy?” I asked.“He is the best fighter in the pack. How has he trained you, and you’ve not landed any hits on me?” he asked. I looked at both of them, ignoring how alike they were looking right now. “He definitely went hard on me,” I said, remembering what happened to me. Damien smiled sheepishly, and I couldn’t believe it.“You’ve been going easy on me.” I asked, and my mouth hung open. Darcy laughed out loud, almost falling over on her own two feet. The bitch refused to leave. “We take a 30-minute

    Valeria POV“Good job,” Alpha said as I dodged his punch, moving away from him. I smiled, nodding my head. Today is the last day of training, and I am better than I was a few days ago. Damien’s teaching really paid off; he was soft and strict with it. At first, he went easy on me, but when he noticed I was finally keeping up, he went hard. And let me tell you, if he had trained me like that from the beginning, truly, I would have been dead. He was slamming me into trees, throwing me to the floor, and I had to somehow ignore my pain before he could land another hit. I don’t know how I did it, but I did it, and I think I am ready for tomorrow.“She has gotten better,” Damien said, walking toward us.“Yes, that is why I always advise you not to go easy,” Alpha said. I smiled, collecting the bottled water from Damien. “I think she will be ready for tomorrow. She still has a lot to learn, but she knows how to dodge attacks,” he said.“We are going to be shifting?” I asked.“It depends on

    Valeria POVToday is finally the day of the challenge. I have spent the whole day lying in bed. Well, Alpha and Damien advised it so I could be at my full strength. I wasn’t nervous until today because Damien was afraid of my safety. I am glad he trusts me, but I can help but feel nervous, probably because everyone is coming to watch.“Are you ready?” Dante asked, looking at me. We are at the arena; I haven’t been here, but it’s as big as I expected. “I am just a bit nervous,” I said. He smiled.“It’s normal,” he said. I am dressed in an overall black romper. I wanted something glued to my skin so I could move freely. Then I packed my hair in a tight bun; I didn’t want anything to get in my face. Everyone kept quiet, and I turned around, and it was Kate. She is putting on leggings and a sports bra. Around her waist is a belt with knives and daggers attached to it. I counted six knives and daggers, and I wondered: all that for me? She smirked at me, walking past us while flipping her

    Valeria POVI groaned, pain rushing through my body.“You are not fit,” she whispered, removing the dagger harshly. I hold my stomach, which is bleeding out, and I fall to the floor, my eyes struggling to stay open. She stood up, walking towards me with the knife out, and I could sense the worry coming from the crowd, especially my mate.“Goodbye, Valeria,” she said, her knife coming for my heart. But before it could pierce me, I held her hand. She used all her strength to push it down, and the dagger was inches away from my heart. I groaned, using one hand to hold her back.“How are you still having strength?” she hissed, her evil eyes looking down at me in shock. I looked at her belt, and I reached for a knife with my other hand, and I thankfully took a dagger. I cut through her wrist like it was an apple. She screamed as her hand holding the dagger fell on me. She continued screaming, holding her hand in horror. I groaned, standing up.“You are not getting my mate,” I hissed.“Fini

    Third Person POV“Valeria!” Rosy cried, running to Valeria as she came down from the car. Valeria chuckled, receiving her hug. Rosy cried loudly, her hormones playing with her emotions.“I am so happy you are okay,” she cried, and they all watched in surprise. Of course, they all hated Rosy for what she did, and Joseph wanted nothing to do with her until Levi told him she was pregnant. He accepted her back after her heartfelt apology. Joseph has not forgiven her yet, but they are working towards it. Rosy has turned a new leaf; she is getting to know Joseph more. She has been joining in, in cleaning the house, engaging him in talks and loving him just like he loved her. Rosy knew it would take time, but she was willing to wait. She shouldn’t have done all those things she did, and she spent hours learning how to make apology cookies to share with everyone. Joseph watched her; she was so concentrated on making it perfect, and he smiled, happy she was really serious about the change. But

    Third Person POVValeria heard whispers around her, and she slowly opened her eyes. She was in the world with bandages and stitches all over her body. Of course, they had to bring her to their organisation to be treated. After everything that happened, Dmitri informed them about Valeria’s injury and he would be taking her for treatment. He told them they would be back when she was well on her feet, and they nod their heads. Dmitr, Egan and Valeria immediately left, and she was treated. There were so many injuries, they have no idea how she was still able to stand. After five days, she was just waking up.“She’s awake,” Cassidy said as they towered over her. Valeria looked up, and they were looking down at her.“Please, get out of my face,” she mumbled, her voice hoarse. Egan sat on the bed and hugged her tightly.“I was so worried, Mom; I thought I lost you for a second,” he said. Valeria chuckled.“I can’t die so easily,” she mumbled, and he pulled back.“There were injuries all over

    Third Person POVThe bombs kept blowing up, and gunshots rang, and Valeria and Rosy ran down so many halls. No one was in sight; everyone was outside, firing bullets at each other. Vladimir was backing out orders, and Grace was behind him. All she could think about was Valeria. The threat she made, the dangerous glint in her eyes. Those were not just threats; she meant it. She was planning something.“Do we know who is attacking us?” Grace asked, rubbing her hands together.“No,” Vladimir snapped.“But this place is secluded. How could they have known the location?” she asked, and Vladimir was thinking the same thing. Which of his men betrayed him? But they possibly couldn’t have. They all sworn to secrecy, and he knew how to threaten all his men to remain loyal to him, and none had ever betrayed him.“Perhaps it’s Valeria? She threatened me earlier. She seemed confident,” she said, and Vladimir knew it was impossible. She is weak, having taken so many beatings. How could she have cal

    Third Person POVRosy cried silently as they once again beat Valeria. Her face was swollen and filled with blood. There was not a single skin in her body with no blood. Her white gown was filled with bloodstains, and she could see her eyes rolled to the back. How is she still alive? Why isn’t she begging for mercy? She keeps taunting the guards, saying things to them, and they keep hitting her harshly, taking turns. She is afraid of Valeria and scared for her. At this rate, she would be dying soon, and still they are not stopping.“Valeria”, she cried, and Valeria kept talking about all the hits. Nothing was blocking her from them; she could feel the pain in her stomach, but Valeria had to clench her hand tightly because she feared if she didn’t, she would rip off the shackles holding her back. The door opened, and Grace walked in.“Leave her,” she said, and the men breathed out, moving back. Valeria’s eyes were swollen, and her mouth was dripping with thick blood. She chuckled, her b

    Third Person POV“Have you found the location?” Dmitri asked as he looked at Carter.“Still searching, haven’t found any leads,” he replied, and Dmitri sighed. They were in one of his apartments, and he was waiting for Cassidy and Egan. He doesn’t know how to get to them; they can only wait for Egan to contact them, and 5 days have gone by, and they have not gotten any message from them. Dmitri is starting to worry, but he knows they are probably looking for Valeria.“It’s been days; are we sure Valeria is still alive?” Nova asked.“Of course she is; they won’t kill her off so easily,” Mia replied, and she sighed. Dmitri’s phone pinged, and it was a message from Egan. He sent an address. His phone rang, and he picked it up immediately.“You found her?” he asked.“Yes, we did. The tracker on her was shaking. They are far away. You should come to the address. The girls work alone, so we have to meet them there; they have already left,” Egan said, and Dmitri nodded his head.“Okay, we ar

    Third Person POVDays passed by, and Valeria has not spoken a word. They have injected her with so many injections, and the machine put on her head was releasing toxins every hour to weaken her. Valeria was trying to keep her strength. She knows it is not time to execute her plans yet, and she also knows they are looking for her. She will only execute her plans when she knows they are here, so for now, she needs to endure all the pain. Rosy, however, was regretting all her actions. She shouldn’t have done what she did; she shouldn’t have hated Valeria because Dmitri didn’t pay attention to her.She grew up in a spoilt home, and her parents always tell her she can get anything she wants. Rosy is not used to being told no, and it angers her when people refuse her. She did it out of hate; when she was contacted to bring Valeria her joy, she knew no bounds. She wanted her to suffer. Now she was here, her pup was in danger. Joseph would have found out what she did, and she knows this time

    Third Person POV“Wake her up,” the harsh voice of Vladimir said as his men moved towards Valeria. They carried buckets filled with ice water, and they poured it on her harshly. Valeria flinched a bit, her head banging as she slowly opened her eyes. At first she was confused about where she was, but she remembered something hitting her, and she saw Rosy. Her eyes opened fully, and she saw she was in a spacious room, a very shiny room. The floors were tiled, and the walls were painted white. There was a huge mirror on the left side of the wall, and Valeria knew people could see them from the outside, but she couldn’t see them.“Seat her up,” Vladimir said, and they took Valeria by her arms, putting her on a comfortable seat, and then they strapped her in. She looked at everyone in front of her: Rosy, Declan, and some masked men. She turned to the man in front of her, and she knew it was Vladimir. Funny how she didn’t know what he looked like until now. Declan and Rosy had smirks on the

    Third Person POVIt was nice, and Dmitri drove down to Mia’s house to pick Valeria up. He didn’t know she was going to take so much time. He has been so busy with Egan and Cassidy trying to solve the issue at hand. He didn’t want to tell Valeria; he loved how peaceful she had been. He didn’t want her to worry. He packed in the driveway and got down from the car. He walked to the front door and rang the doorbell. After ringing it twice, Mia opened the door.“Dmitri, what are you doing here? Come in,” she said, confused at why he was here. Dmitri smiled.“Don’t worry. I came to pick Valeria up,” he said, and Mia looked back at him confused. Valeria? She left several hours ago.“She left hours ago,” she said, and Dmitri was confused.“Really? I haven’t seen her,” he said, trying to think it’s probably not what he was thinking.“We were talking, and she suddenly got up all excited and said she would be right back. We figured she was coming to you,” Mia answered, and Dmitri quickly ran to

    Valeria POV“Really?” I mumbled, playing with my nails. She nodded her head.“Of course. Do not doubt his love for you. Dmitri is the kindest man I have ever met; he cares for everyone around him and does his best to make everyone comfortable. He is the oldest Lycan here and the most powerful, but he never made anyone feel inferior by his power or influence. Everyone knows Dmitri here and in Helna. I was always so worried about him; we didn’t know who Valeria was or what type of person she was, and he didn’t say much about her. We were worried she was going to be a bitchy person who doesn’t give a fuck about him. Imagine how happy we were when we found out during the party he was with someone so nice and friendly. You two are a match made in heaven,” she said, and I chuckled.“She is right, Valeria. You are absolutely worried about nothing,” Mia said, and I smiled.“But how were you two able to move past your mates?” I asked. They both smiled.“Nova is lucky she met her mate, and her
