Valeria POVWe got home, and I freshened up, sitting down on the kitchen island. Egan cooked, wearing a jogger and apron, and I smiled. He has gotten so big and looks exactly like his father. Anytime I look at him, I am reminded of him.โStop looking at me like that, Mom. People would think we are in love or something,โ he said, and I chuckled.โHow is it so wicked you look nothing like me? I gave birth to you, and you have none of my looks. Itโs disappointing,โ I said, and he chuckled, going to the refrigerator. He brought out a bottle of water and handed it over to me.โWell, lifeโs not fair,โ he said, and I rolled my eyes.โThis was how Damien looked before he died. Hair, eyes, height, body, everything,โ I said, drinking the water.โWell, at least I get to remind you of how he looked like. Itโs been so many years; you must have forgotten some memories,โ he said, and I breathed out. He is right. Itโs been so many years, I lost count already, but sadly. Everyone is dead, Sam, Darcy,
Valeria POVI walked down the dark street, humming as I went. It was late in the night and the city was finally settling down. Today was a busy day and everyone had work to do, but now it was night and everyone has retired to their houses. I was the only one walking down the street. It is quite dangerous, but not for me. I continued walking, enjoying the cool breeze, and once again I felt eyes on me. Itโs been two months since Egan visited and since then I always feel someone watching me.Everywhere I go, this person follows me. I didnโt mind it at first. I have got a lot of stalkers watching me, but they never lasted this long. A lot of them usually give up after seeing how brutally I kill someone who messes with me, but now this person refuses to back off. What could they possibly want from me? I brought out my smoke, lightening it up, and I smoked as I walked. Winter is approaching and even with all these powers I have, I canโt escape the cold. I continued smoking and soon I sat on
Valeria POVItโs been around a month since Dmitri graced me with his unwanted presence. And since he came, weโve only spoken once or twice. I wake up in the morning with food served in the dining room, no words shared. I go about my day, and I come back in the night with dinner served on my dining table. No words shared. I have no idea what he is up to or playing at, but I wonโt turn down a cooked meal. The truth is, I hardly eat. I sometimes feel too tired to cook something to eat; all I take is junk food and endless junk food, but since he came, I have been eating tasty home-cooked meals, so at least he is useful. Today, however, I decided to stay home only because the previous day. I got myself drunk in a club. Yes, I took my alcoholic wine to a human club and got myself drunk. I donโt know what happened, but I woke up all bloody. I was having terrible headaches, and I forced myself to take my bath and go to the kitchen. I was expecting some tasty food, but I was met with an e
Valeria POVI woke up on the bed in an empty room, and I had a terrible headache. I looked outside, and it was dark out and I was surprised. I slept through the day? That is the most sleep I have gotten in a really long time. I donโt sleep more than five hours everyday unless I am drunk and passed out. I get so restless in my sleep and when I wake up, it always feels like I slept a few minutes ago. But waking up now I feel so relaxed, I feel brand new.This is the best sleep I have had in a long time and I wish every night could be like this. I stood up from my bed, walking to the living room and I spotted Dmitri in the kitchen. He wore a pair of black joggers with a white apron tied around his waist. I looked at him as he cooked, his muscles flexing and I licked my lips unconsciously. He looks damn delicious cooking in my kitchen. I trailed my eyes to his ass, and it was perfectly round. I was itching to smack it.โGet your eyes off my ass, Valeria,โ he said, turning around. I scratc
Valeria POVI held Dmitriโs hand, trying to look down, and my heart jumped. I immediately moved back. He laughed at me.โA powerful woman like you is afraid of heights,โ he said, and I looked at him.โI have my limits,โ I said, laughing. He went to the edge, and I was afraid for him.โMove away from there, Dmitri,โ I said, and he chuckled.โYou do realise I can jump down and land on my feet?โ he asked.โI know that, but you could also jump down and die,โ I said, and he shook his head at me.โCome on,โ he said, sitting on the floor. I breathed out. I know I shouldnโt have come here with him. He is trying to kill me, and I didnโt do anything to him. I walked slowly to him, holding his hand, and then I sat beside him. At first I was a bit scared, but slowly I enjoyed the view.โThis feels nice,โ I said, and he chuckled.โI come here a lot of times. You can see the entire city from here. Just people going about their nights,โ he said, and I smiled. The cars honked; I could hear cheerful l
Valeria POVItโs been about two weeks and I have been avoiding Dmitri. After what happened that night, I just wanted to be as far away as I could be. I was in denial. I know Dmitri has always shown me there was something. But I never wanted to pay attention to it. I saw him as Damienโs blossom friend, till now I still see him the same way. I never want us to go down that part, but I know deep within me I canโt lie to myself. I am just confused and have no idea what to do, so I have chosen to ignore it. It was late at night and I opened the door. The time is around 2:15 am, and I am just getting home. I leave the house early and come back late just so I can avoid Dmitri and avoid the conversation. I entered the house, and it was dark. I breathed out, removing my heels and coat. I am so tired, and all I want to do is crash on my bed and hope I get some sleep, but of course I know I wasnโt going to avoid him forever; he is going to confront me. The lights turned on, and he was seated on
Valeria POVI walked down the stairs tiredly. The previous night was so crazy as I keep remembering what happened between me and Dmitri. I never expected that to happen, but I just had the urge to shut him up. Everything he said was the truth that I didnโt want to hear. Truly, I was scared of being with another man because I am afraid if I do, then I will forget all about him.I want to keep his memories; he doesnโt deserve to be forgotten and swiped off from the surface of the earth. I am the only one who has memories of him and who wants his memories to live on. They all died, and Egan was too little to remember anything. He didnโt deserve the life he lived. I got to the living room, and Dmitri was cooking. I sat on the island, looking at him.โNo, good morning after all that happened yesterday,โ I said, grabbing an opening. He turned around, looking at me blankly.โYou donโt deserve it,โ he said, and I raised my brows.โI sucked your dick; I think I deserved all the praises,โ I sai
Valeria POVItโs been around 30 minutes since I got here, and I have been having fun sitting by myself. When I get to any club, I like to look around and observe my environment before jumping into anything. The male strippers are sexy alright, exactly what I needed. I just sat by the corner, ignoring all the men who were approaching me. My focus is on the strippers, and even though I admire them, I feel no urge to do anything with that. Am I really about to let my pride down for some strippers? Engage myself in a one-night stand. Itโs not something I would do, and I donโt see myself doing it. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. This is pathetic.โHello,โ a deep voice said, and I turned around, wondering who the voice belonged to. It was a man; he was standing in front of me. He was wearing leather pants and black shoes with no shirt on. There were tattoos all over his arms and chest; only his neck and face were bare. Taking a look at his face, he looked dangerous. His short hair
Third Person POVโValeria!โ 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.โI am so happy you are okay,โ 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 shouldnโt 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 Valeriaโs 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.โSheโs awake,โ Cassidy said as they towered over her. Valeria looked up, and they were looking down at her.โPlease, get out of my face,โ she mumbled, her voice hoarse. Egan sat on the bed and hugged her tightly.โI was so worried, Mom; I thought I lost you for a second,โ he said. Valeria chuckled.โI canโt die so easily,โ she mumbled, and he pulled back.โThere 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.โDo we know who is attacking us?โ Grace asked, rubbing her hands together.โNo,โ Vladimir snapped.โBut this place is secluded. How could they have known the location?โ she asked, and Vladimir was thinking the same thing. Which of his men betrayed him? But they possibly couldnโt 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.โPerhaps itโs Valeria? She threatened me earlier. She seemed confident,โ 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 isnโt 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.โValeriaโ, 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 didnโt, she would rip off the shackles holding her back. The door opened, and Grace walked in.โLeave her,โ she said, and the men breathed out, moving back. Valeriaโs eyes were swollen, and her mouth was dripping with thick blood. She chuckled, her b
Third Person POVโHave you found the location?โ Dmitri asked as he looked at Carter.โStill searching, havenโt found any leads,โ he replied, and Dmitri sighed. They were in one of his apartments, and he was waiting for Cassidy and Egan. He doesnโt 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.โItโs been days; are we sure Valeria is still alive?โ Nova asked.โOf course she is; they wonโt kill her off so easily,โ Mia replied, and she sighed. Dmitriโs phone pinged, and it was a message from Egan. He sent an address. His phone rang, and he picked it up immediately.โYou found her?โ he asked.โYes, 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,โ Egan said, and Dmitri nodded his head.โOkay, 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 shouldnโt have done what she did; she shouldnโt have hated Valeria because Dmitri didnโt 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 POVโWake her up,โ 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 couldnโt see them.โSeat her up,โ 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 didnโt know what he looked like until now. Declan and Rosy had smirks on the
Third Person POVIt was nice, and Dmitri drove down to Miaโs house to pick Valeria up. He didnโt 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 didnโt want to tell Valeria; he loved how peaceful she had been. He didnโt 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.โDmitri, what are you doing here? Come in,โ she said, confused at why he was here. Dmitri smiled.โDonโt worry. I came to pick Valeria up,โ he said, and Mia looked back at him confused. Valeria? She left several hours ago.โShe left hours ago,โ she said, and Dmitri was confused.โReally? I havenโt seen her,โ he said, trying to think itโs probably not what he was thinking.โWe were talking, and she suddenly got up all excited and said she would be right back. We figured she was coming to you,โ Mia answered, and Dmitri quickly ran to
Valeria POVโReally?โ I mumbled, playing with my nails. She nodded her head.โOf 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 didnโt know who Valeria was or what type of person she was, and he didnโt say much about her. We were worried she was going to be a bitchy person who doesnโt 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,โ she said, and I chuckled.โShe is right, Valeria. You are absolutely worried about nothing,โ Mia said, and I smiled.โBut how were you two able to move past your mates?โ I asked. They both smiled.โNova is lucky she met her mate, and her
