VALERIE

My lips parted yet no words came forth. I was short of words, I was confused.

I wanted to speak up for my defense, but I couldn't; it felt like Alpha Jonas's words had paralyzed me.

“So, you are his Luna, after all,” Killian said, a mischievous smirk dancing at the corner of his little plump lips.

Lucian remained unmoved as he glared coldly at me.

“Why did you say you weren't?” He muttered in the iciest voice that I've ever heard. The hoarseness was somehow gone, its absence added fear instead of relief to my soul.

“I… I,…” I stammered and glared at Alpha Jonas, hoping he would have a change of heart and tell them who his real Luna was. But the useless devil did nothing of such, instead he pursed his lips in anger and shook his finger accusingly at me.

“You lied to them? You told them you weren't the Luna. How shameless can you be, Valerie?” He snapped, calling me by my name.

My eyes batted in shock, I was petrified in wonder that I was dumbstruck.

The two men stared from me to Alpha Jonas who kept insisting that I betrayed him and the Pack.

“Alpha," he said, looking at the two men.

“You can take her. I won't bother you about my mate for a day," he added and my eyes widened.

“But–"

“You still want to deny it?" He snapped, cutting me off as he glared murderously at me.

I smacked my lips together and glanced over at Killian and Lucian. The two men were cold and unreadable, which made it hard to decipher what was going on in their minds.

“What a dishonest and selfish Luna you have, Jonas," Killian chuckled and saw a satisfied smirk tug on Alpha Jonas's face.

“I wish the Moon goddess never gave me this girl as a mate," he spat and a sparkle formed in their eyes.

“I wonder what is so good about that goddess; she does nothing good," Lucian groused, and Killian nodded in support.

My heart tightened at their words.

That's blasphemy, how can they be left alive in the wolf kingdom?

“Yes, you're right," Alpha Jonas quickly replied, and I threw him a glare, which he returned immediately.

“We'll take her in exchange for your Pack," Lucian said and glanced over to Killian.

I guess they mind-linked and decided to take me away.

A large grin broke out on Alpha Jonas's face and he bowed his head to the ground, the way my stepfather did when he met Alpha Jonas.

Killian walked towards me and I felt my heart freeze. I cringed back and hugged my body tighter, shaking my head as my teeth chattered.

“Little Val, look up," his soft soothing voice made me peek at his face. He flashed a warm smile and I felt my heart melt.

"Are you cold?" He muttered and I couldn't help but nod.

The way he talked, looked at me, and even the chilling feeling his touch gave me made me think over the idea of leaving this wretched place with them.

He might heed my request and let me go.

He pulled off his thick dark jacket and wrapped it around me. It was huger than I thought and it helped in covering up my nudity.

“Thank you," I muttered and he nodded, stretching his small plump lips into an enchanting smile.

My heart leaped and I hid my face to prevent him from seeing my flushed face.

“Get on with it quick!" Lucian groused, scowling at us in disgust.

It seems like he wasn't any different from Alpha Jonas.

But then I wondered, who was the Alpha between the both of them.

I thought it was Lucian but when Killian didn't respond quickly to his order, I knew something was off about them. Thinking of Alpha Jonas's equal respect for both of them backed up my first thought.

Who was the Alpha?

My eyes darted from one to another but lingered longer on Killian's face.

I wondered what I should call him. Killian? Or Alpha Killian?

I sighed at the thought and glanced disdainfully at Alpha Jonas before getting up and holding the jacket tightly.

I began to walk to the door but stopped and looked at him again, but my eyes flickered to Lucian's face, and I found his eyes staring keenly at my ass. My body heated up and my belly fluttered.

I tugged on the edge of the jacket, pulling it down.

He snapped his cold eyes at my face, knowing fully well that he had been caught.

I was grateful that it was long enough to cover my bare ass.

“Thank you for your mercy and kindness, Alphas!" Alpha Jonas bellowed and bowed his head to the ground again.

Alphas? Both of them were Alphas.

I snickered at him, chuckling, mockingly.

Killian raised his brows, and Lucian snapped his head in my direction; Alpha Jonas tilted his head, glaring murderously at me.

“It seems like you were a bad Alpha to your mate," Lucian said and raised his hand, stopping Alpha Jonas from defending himself.

“Let's go," Killian said and held my hand, leading me out of the room.

Everything happened so fast but I knew I saw him crank his head backwards and nod towards Alpha Lucian.

I heard the slicing of a knife on some flesh and a loud howl; a thud followed after that, and then silence.

Killian's hold on my wrist tightened and his pace quickened. My heart thumped loudly and my wolf, Jade, screamed that something was wrong in there.

“Wait," I whispered, and Killian looked down at me, and my heart skipped a beat. The warmth in his mesmerizing ocean-blue eyes was gone. It was replaced by coldness, the same coldness dancing around Lucian's eyes.

“What?" He snapped and a shiver rushed down my spine.

His voice was still soft but no longer assiduous and soothing like before.

“Alpha Jonas…"

“You mean your mate?" He groused, darkness dancing around his eyes.

I gulped hard, finding it hard to breathe.

“Is he dead?" I managed to sputter out.

He scoffed, narrowing his eyes at me.

“Why? I thought you never cared about him?" He muttered and my heart twitched.

Of course, I don't care about him but I never wished for him to die, did I?

I parted my lips to reply but Lucian's sudden presence shut me up.

He stopped walking and stared at me, then at Killian, whose eyes were fixed on him too.

“He must be dumb to think that we'll have mercy on him," Killian said in an icy voice, and my eyes widened in dismay.

I scanned Lucian's shirt which was covered with fresh blood that must have belonged to Alpha Jonas.

They killed him, they heartlessly killed him!

“Mercy?" Lucian scoffed and walked into our midst.

Killian looked at me, his eyes full of hostility.

“Now you have understood what has happened to your mate, right?" His venom-filled voice muttered, and I shuddered, unable to speak.

The both of them leaned closer at the same time, and I found my numb feet desperately moving back.

“You are going to pay for the rest of his sins," Lucian muttered and my heart constricted.

“As our sex slave," Killian added and grinned sinisterly.

My belly knotted and my pupils dilated.

Sex slave? The same thing that I'd been running from.

I burst into silent tears as Killian shoved me forward. I kept crying silently till we stepped out of the tunnel and into a large field.

My belly knotted and I felt puke rise in my throat as I stared horrified at the dead bodies littered around the field.

The soft green grasses were now mixed with blood that greased the beautiful field and made it a horrifying sight.

I clasped my hand against my mouth, trying to stop the puke that threatened to pour from my mouth.

I needed to get away from them, I wanted to disappear, I wanted to…

I dropped to the ground and opened my mouth, letting the puke out.

Their comfortable footsteps stopped and they looked at me.

“Get up, you're wasting time!" Lucian snapped in his terrifying voice.

I gasped out and looked around the field, tears gathering up in my eyes.

Did they kill these people all by themselves? Did they come all alone and slaughter all these innocent werewolves?

It dawned on me that these men, whom I thought were saviors, were worse than Alpha Jonas.

I raised my head, peering at them with rheumy eyes.

“Please, I need to urinate, please," I pleaded.

The both of them glanced at each other and sighed.

“Go over there and do it quickly! Meet us at the garage as fast as possible!" Lucian spat in his hoarse voice and began to trudge off.

“Don't keep us waiting, little Val," Killian whistled and joined Lucian.

I scowled at their receding figures then spun around and walked far off to the end of the field.

Just like my pack, I was sure there'd be a way out through the field.

Just like I predicted, I got to a high wall that possibly led out of the Pack.

I ran back to the piles of bodies as fast as possible and dragged off two bodies, panting heavily.

By the time I reached the wall, my body was covered in perspiration.

I dropped the body on the other and stepped on it, making it easier to climb over the wall.

I bit my lips, trying hard not to glance at the bodies I was standing on.

I swung my feet over the fence and cautiously went over to the other side.

I took a deep breath, shut my eyes, and slipped off.

Pain shot through my body when I hit the hard ground.

I stuck my fist into my mouth to prevent me from screaming out in pain.

A tear slipped out of my eyes as I staggered to my feet and limped forward.

I didn't care about the pain throbbing all over my body.

All I could see at the moment was the uncertain future that awaited me from this place.

    VALERIE I stumbled for the fourth time as I ran far off into the woods. I couldn't tell where I was or how I would get out; only one thing stuck to my mind: this was the perfect escape plan, and I had to stick to it no matter what. As I ran, my mind drifted back to those Lycan kings and I felt my heart skip a beat. They must have noticed my absence by now. The thought of them coming after me made me quicken my pace. The cold air grazed my parched skin, stinging me without mercy as my body shuddered from the cold. I sneezed and clenched my belly as it rumbled yet I couldn't stop to catch a breath. My heart froze when I heard a twig snap behind me. I stopped running and listened cautiously for any rattle of leaves but heard nothing. I wanted to continue running, but my wolf, Jade, urged me to stop and listen longer. My heart thumped loudly and my hands shook as I stood in the dark forest. What if it's a wolf hunter? Or worse, the Lycan kings? ‘Jade, I can't wait anymore, I ha

My heart sank when she fell on her knees and bowed her head to the ground.“Forgive me, Luna; I know you've always hated me because the Alpha claimed me too, but it wasn't my fault. I begged him to have mercy, but he wouldn't listen,” she blabbered, and my eyes widened in shock.I turned around, searching for the person she was talking to.But when I saw no one behind me or close by, it dawned on me that she was referring to me.“What… what are you saying?

    VALERIE I felt a chilly sensation on my arm when I tilted my head. I tried to snap my eyes open but couldn't; I felt like something was holding me down. Two different scents slipped into my nostrils and I gasped out, enjoying the scents of dark musk and rich sandalwood that intermingled and played with my senses. The chilly sensation came again, but this time, it was on my waist. I felt something slide up my thighs, heading in between them. My heart skipped a beat and I forced my eyes open. The first thing that hit me was the grey and blue eyes that flickered blackness the moment they met mine. My mind reeled, my pulse raced and my mind shot back to the previous tragic events that took place before I fainted. I wasn't dead, I was still alive and trapped with the devils that threatened to ruin my life. “You?" I gasped and shifted uncomfortably. I tried getting away but found that impossible as they were both hovering over me, caging me down to the soft mattress. “Stop, let

    VALERIE The door creaked open, and I raised my head, expecting to see Lucian and Killian, but to my disappointment or perhaps to my relief, it turned out to be a girl who seemed to be my age mate. My eyes trailed after her as she walked over to a table and set down the tray she was holding. She turned in my direction, walked up to the bed, dropped some clothes on the edge, and turned around to walk away without saying a word. My heart constricted at her cold attitude. “Hello," I whispered and her feet stopped shuffling to the door. She cranked her neck and stared at me with blank brown eyes which seemed to have a layer of pain and sadness behind them. "Hello," she replied and bowed her head then quickly averted her gaze. I needed to get out here, but firstly, I had to know where I was. “Where is this place?" I asked, still clenching the duvet. She switched her gaze towards me and I saw a flash of disgust dart across her eyes as she looked at the duvet covering my nude body.

    VALERIE “Hello, who is this?" Her voice sounded more like a ghostly whisper. My heart tightened and I regretted calling her at that moment. I would only be a burden to her again. But then again, I couldn't stop myself from yearning for her lost warmth. “Mom," I muttered in a weepy voice. The silence that loomed from the other end of the line made me think that she had hung up on me. I was about to put the phone down in despair when her voice came up again; this time, it was filled with surprise and fear. “Valerie, is that you?" She said in a hushed tone that got me wondering if my stepfather was at home. Mom, it's me," I replied and heard her release a breath of relief. “I heard about what happened to the Pack, you aren't hurt, are you?" She said in the same tone. “No, mom, I'm fine." Silence trailed after my reply and after a couple of minutes, she spoke up again. "Are you still in that Pack? I heard that lots of people were killed and… and Thomas isn't doi

    VALERIE I peeked into the dark tunnel Bianca led me to and sighed out loud in relief. “Go through the tunnel; you will find your way out to the Pack’s boundary, but be mindful of rogues; lots of them lurk around the boundary of Dark Moon Pack,” she advised, waving her hands towards the entrance of the frightening tunnel. I sucked in a deep breath and muttered a word of appreciation before taking the flashlight she extended toward me. “You won't get into trouble, right?" I asked for the third time and she smiled, shaking her head. “No, I won't." I nodded at her words and began to shuffle into the tunnel. “Valerie," her voice made me pause and crank my head backward. “Be careful. Survive." My throat knotted at her last words. I nodded when I couldn't find my voice and bade her goodbye before walking into the tunnel, with my heart in my hand. I jumped in fear when I saw a skeleton leaning on the old dark walls of the tunnel. I shuddered and cautiously walked past i

    VALERIE My heart shrank and the pieces dropped into the pit of my belly as I stared at the red eyes that glared at me from the dark. I clasped my hand against my mouth as my heartbeat thumped loudly to my hearing. It was so loud that I was afraid that the beastly tiger standing before me would hear the sound. I stepped back, making sure that my feet didn't make any noise. The growl came again, loud, fierce, and horrific. Sweat broke out on my skin and shivers rushed through my body. I kept stepping back until my feet stepped on a dry bone on the ground. I tripped and unintentionally released a howl before dropping down to the ground. The tiger roared upon hearing my yell and bounded towards me. I was filled with fear and struck with horror. An ear-piercing scream escaped my lips. I reached for my flashlight which I had picked up earlier, and turned it on. The rays of light fell on orange and black stripes on a large body. The tiger, which was facing the wall opposite w

I winced in pain as my arm brushed against the rough wall, getting bruised in the process. “Please, don't hurt me," I whimpered, backing away as they approached me. “You should have obeyed when you had the chance to,” Lucian snickered, glaring haughtily at me. “Please, I promise never to attempt running away again, I promise," I cried, rubbing my hands together I wasn't only scared of dying, I was scared of losing my virginity to them, in the most cruel way. No matter how much or long that I pleaded, their expression remained the same. A flash of pity didn't dare dart across their face. Killian took some steps towards me, covering the distance between us. I made to shift back but he grabbed my hand and pulled me up to my feet, dragging me towards the bed. I screamed till my throat burned yet none of them had mercy. “Pull off your clothes," I heard Lucian say from the door. What was the use of making me suffer this wa

    VALERIE I shuddered at the sight of them and shifted away from Damion, snatching my hand from his hold. Killian's face held a frown while Lucian's eyes blazed in fury. "What the fuck is going on here?" He growled and I shuddered again. "Nothing, he was just saying something—" Killian's march towards us froze and cut my words short. My eyes widened in dismay as he grabbed Damion by the collar and flung him off the bed. Damion's back slammed on the wall with a heavy thud, causing him to groan in pain. "You're trying to get back at us, aren't you?" Killian growled and before Damion could recover from the hit, he grabbed him by the neck and raised him, making him dangle in the air. Killian clenched his fist and slammed it into his jaw. I screamed in horror as blood splashed out of Damion's mouth. "Stop!" I screamed. Unbearable pain shot through my body and my head dropped, my eyes slamming shut as pain rocked my entire body. I gripped my dress and stared weakly as Killian punc

    VALERIE I released a low groan as my throat burned in pain. My dad, who was smiling down at me and muttering comforting words to me, slowly dissolved away, disappearing like vapor. My jaws dropped and I stretched out my hand, calling desperately for him. It was like he had just died before me after coming back for the second time. As I called out to him, I heard my name from afar but refused to answer it. I tried to move from where I was, but I discovered that I couldn't no matter how hard I tried. It felt like I was stuck in the spot. I sensed a hand shaking my shoulders and a sharp ray of light pierced my eyes. I groaned again, but this time, I found myself in a different room with Michelle frowning down at me. I narrowed my eyes and mourned at the sharp banging in my head. "Do you feel alive?" She asked in a hostile voice. I scoffed and glared hatefully at her. "I guess you want to hear the opposite," I snarled, and she scoffed. She shifted away from the bed and picked

    KILLIAN We stood side by side, watching the large dark horn emerge slowly from the dark pool. So, this was it. This was the mystery hidden in the pool. Excitement slowly replaced the shock in me, and I tilted my head forward, waiting for it to showcase its body. The shrill ringing of Lucian forced me to snap back to reality, and the horn stopped moving upward. As fast as lightning, it sank into the dark pool, and the water became still again like nothing was inside. "What the heck!" Lucian snapped, growling loudly as he pulled out his phone from his pocket. He stared at the screen and hissed loudly before swiping the answer button and placing it to his ear. "What do you want, Neil?" He asked, filled with anger and disappointment. He sighed and ruffled his hair, nodding with his eyes fixed on the pool for any movement. "We will be out soon," he said and ended the call, dropping the phone into his pocket. I raised my brows in question, tilting my head to the side."We have to

    KILLIAN Lucian played with the lighter as he stared out of the window, watching the trainees on the field. The door opened and Neil walked in, a bright smile on his face. "Welcome back, Alpha," he muttered, bowing lowly to the ground. Lucian slipped out a pack of cigarettes and pulled out a stick, lightening it as he walked towards Neil. "Herod sends boys to our military camp every year, right?" Lucian asked and Neil nodded his head in agreement. "I want you to bring out everyone from Herod, starting from the soldiers to the trainees. I want everyone out," Lucian said and Neil's smile slowly faded away. He darted his eyes from Lucian's cold face to mine, perhaps wondering what was going on. "Alpha, did something happen?" He asked and I scoffed. "I wonder if you're trustworthy, Neil," I muttered and his brows shot up in surprise. "Alpha! I can never betray you two!" He exclaimed. Lucian picked up the blade on the table and Neil shifted back, shock etched against his face. L

I pushed the door open and walked in, my head tilted to the side."Your beloved Lycan kings made you sacrifice your energy for the woman they cast away," I muttered and she glared at me before slamming he eyes shut to continue the transfer of energy."I wonder why they are not back yet," I sighed and she scoffed, ignoring me.I looked at her again and smirked before glancing at Valerie.I reached out and touched her burning forehead. Worry began to slip in but I brushed it back, assuring myself that she would be fine."I wonder if they will return alive," I muttered and Michelle's eyes flew open again.She let go of Valerie's hand and sprang up, glaring at me."What did you do, Damion?" She groused and I dimmed my eyes."What have I done? Nothing!" I shrugged, grinning widely.She grabbed my collar and pushed me to the wall, fuming in fury as her burning eyes burned i

    LUCIAN I snapped my arms out of their grip and leaped for the bottle, sliding across the floor. I stretched out my hand and it fell into my palm instead of on the ground. A deafening silence followed and a horrified gasp slipped from Herod's parched lips. Killian grabbed his collar before he could think of escaping and punched him hard in the face. He staggered back, almost falling over the railing. I growled and my fangs sprouted out. My bones began to break as a mild transformation of my body began to take place. My muscles rippled and grew larger and my eyes darkened. The thirst for blood surged through my body, and anger filled my heart. The soldiers backed away on seeing me and began to run towards the door to save themselves from my wrath. But before they could get to the door, it slammed shut, leaving them trapped in the hall with me. Two of them who couldn't handle the fear of dying collapsed and lost consciousness while the one who seemed brave pointed their guns at m

Killian asked.He threw his head back and looked at the bottle in his hand and then at the one we were holding. "I wonder why you are so desperate to get the antidote…" he tilted his head back and pursed his lips. "Did someone you care about get stabbed?" Killian growled and advanced towards him but I held him back, glaring murderously at Herod. "I've never seen you care for anyone before. She must be special," he grinned. "Give us the antidote now we're being merciful," I snapped and he scoffed, waving it in the air. "Let me kill him, Lucian!

He asked and my chest tightened in anger.Lucian growled and flipped the blade in his direction.His eyes widened and he screamed in horror, paralyzed to the wall and unable to move.The blade sank into the wall, its edges kissing his face.His chest rose in fear and relief as he cautiously moved away from that spot."That is the way we will sink the blade into your eyes if you don't tell us where the antidote is…" Lucian paused and began to take steps towards him again.

    LUCIAN Silence reigned in the car as Killian drove roughly through the highway. Though we were silent, we all had one thing in mind, and that was to find the cure and save Valerie. I hated myself at some point for blaming her without a proper investigation. I had tried severally to convince myself that she was capable of doing it but couldn't. Every time I imagined what could have taken place on that hill, the scene of Michelle pushing Valerie down was what always appeared in my mind. It didn't make sense to me as she had been the one hating and getting jealous. I was sure Michelle wouldn't hurt her after defending her against me. "Everything doesn't seem to make sense," I spoke up, breaking the hostile silence floating around us. Killian remained silent, too furious to respond. I sighed loudly and looked out of the window, letting the silence endure longer. "Are you going to keep driving without telling me where we are heading!" I snapped, getting infuriated by his
