Valeria POVI walk around the pack, smiling brightly. My life has been going perfectly ever since Damien came, which was about three weeks ago. Adrain has totally forgotten about me; he and Damien are more fixed on dealing with the rogues, but at night Damien makes special time to give his mate attention. I have never been so happy being in the arms of my mate, listening to him talk about all his experiences about being an Alpha son and taking his father’s spot. They all sounded like bedtime stories, and of course, what is a bedtime story without bedtime cuddles?Things are going well between us, but we are both avoiding asking each other the right questions. He is curious about what Adrain did to me and why I sometimes struggle to eat food. I know he wants to ask; he just doesn’t want to push me or make me overwhelmed. Honestly, I want to tell him, but I am scared of his reaction. What if he attacks Adrain? I don’t care about Adrain, but I don’t want any pack wars. I just want things
Valeria POV“Who’s getting on your nerves?” Damien asked, dragging me up softly. I smiled breathlessly. He is just so handsome, his milky skin glowing with sweat.“It’s just my sister and Adrain,” I mumbled, trying to calm my racing heart. I don’t know why my heart always races whenever I see him; I can’t control it.“I heard them,” he said. I looked at him, surprised.“How are you able to hear them from so far away?” I asked, shocked. It’s normal for Alpha’s to have enhanced abilities, especially if their parents are from a lineage of Alpha’s or Beta’s families. But he was too far from us to hear that. “Well, I will let you in on a little secret,” he said, smiling. My heart swooned as his dimples came to life, elevating his smile. Why would the moon goddess create such a masterpiece? And all for me? I am the luckiest wolf in the world. He got closer to me, and I was literally holding my breath. I felt hot. A sexy, half-naked man is standing so close to me.“I come from a generation
Valeria POV“How do you know how to make hair so perfectly?” I asked, smiling at the mirror. We were in the night, and Damien offered to wash and style my hair, and he is so good at it. The way he washed my hair was very gentle, scrubbing through my scalp. I was almost falling asleep in the bathroom, enjoying the soft massage.“My sister made me do it,” he said, a soft smile on his face. I smiled. I remembered Collin mentioning something about his sister in the ball.“It must be nice to have a younger sister who loves you back,” I said, remembering my ill-fated relationship with my younger sister.“Well, we had the best brother-sister relationship,” he said, a sour smile on his face. I noticed he used the past tense.“Had?” I asked, looking at how he made my hair.“Yes, she is dead now,” he replied. I looked up at him, and he looked a bit down. It’s obvious that his sister is a sour topic, and I had no idea how to comfort him. I didn’t grow up with many people around, so I don’t know
Valeria POVI slammed Ruby on the wall harshly, blocking air from passing through her lungs. I wanted to kill her; I wanted this night to be the last day she would live, and the last day she would ask me to do something so evil. How dare she, after all they did to me, ignore me and sell me off? She is asking me to run away. She wants to take over my identity. The only thing I have left that is mine—the audacity to do that! Ruby trashed around in my hand, her face turning red, but I squeezed harder, not caring how she scratched my hand.“That is enough,” I heard a voice say, holding my hand. But I didn’t listen; I squeezed harder.“You are going to get her killed,” Damien said, forcing my hand away from her neck. I growled, but he held me tight, moving me away from Ruby.“Calm down,” he whispered in my ears, hugging me tight, but I trashed his arms, angry and hurt. How dare she tell me that to my face? I have feelings too. Why should I bear the blame for something I have no control ove
Valeria POVA loud growl woke me up from my sleep. I jerked awake, looking around me, and nothing was happening. I heard another growl with things breaking, and it seemed the noise was coming from the down floor. Panicking, I come down from the bed, wearing my slippers. I ran out of my room, heading to the down floor. There was nobody on the stairs, and I was scared. Hoping is not what I think it is. I got to the bottom floor, and I gasped loudly at the whole place, which was messed up. The pack members stood away from the two Alphas’s fighting.“How dare you touch what is mine?” Adrian raged, punching my mate harshly in the jaw. I gasped, anger and fear rushing through my veins as my mate fell to the floor, bleeding out. Adrain wasn’t done; he had all the intention of killing my mate, and I wasn’t going to stand there and watch. Adrian raised his claw, going for my mate’s opened chest. But I ran to my mate, my body full of anger. I have no idea what happened, but Adrain flew into th
Valeria POVI sat down at the back of the seat with Damien, and we sat in silence. I was lost in my thoughts; I didn’t expect any of this to happen. Not that I am not happy I finally get to be with my mate; I just have so many questions. Was it all planned, or did some unfortunate things that happened work in his favour? “Hey,” Damien called, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him, and I was happy the blood was no longer on his face. He must have noticed how uncomfortable it made me, so he cleaned it, which I am grateful for. “I know you are very confused and have a lot of questions, but don’t worry; when we get to my pack, well fed and taking lots of rest, we will talk about it,” he said softly. I breathe out.“But how did you get so beaten up? I thought you were more powerful than him.” I asked. He chuckled.“It was all part of the plan, mate; I needed to get beaten up. Now don’t ask too many questions; you were woken up from your sleep too suddenly, and you are still
Valeria POV“Wow,” I mumbled, filled with excitement. We are finally in the main pack, and being shocked was an understatement. This looks like a mini-city with lots of buildings everywhere.“I mean, it’s better if the first thing we come into is the offices, businesses, and companies,” he said. I nod my head, agreeing with him. I always wondered how packs make their money, and this is just giving me insights. I mean, the buildings are not as tall as the ones I see in the movies; they are like 2- or 3-story buildings, and the roads are not fancy like the ones in the movies or have highways either. It’s like a small village with houses and companies, but this is more beautiful than that.The buildings are made of beautiful designs, and the houses are beautiful too. As Damien said, nobody was on the street, and I suddenly wished they were. It would be beautiful to see people walking down the street, going about their day. The car continued going, and slowly I started seeing more houses
Valeria POVI yawned on the bed, stretching my body, and I couldn’t help but moan because that felt so good. Being in the car for so long couldn’t make me stretch or have much movement; I don’t ever want to be on such a journey again. I opened my eyes slowly, and I was face-to-face with cobalt blue eyes. I stared at him, not blinking. This was our first night together, and I don’t know how to react to his bed hair and sleepy face. He looks so cute. For an Alpha and a man of title, this was a funny scene.“Good morning, mate,” he mumbled, his voice raspy. I don’t know if I should swoon at his deep voice or cringe at the morning breath.“What? Does my breath stink?” he asked, smiling at me. I nod my head slowly. Damien chuckled, wrapping his arms around me and dragging me close. He snuggled up on my chest, rubbing his face on my body.“Get used to it; we are going to be waking up like this a lot,” he mumbled, holding me tight. I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck. I have never cud
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
