VALERIE

I swerved my head around, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. I could feel my breath leaving my body as I stood in that dimly lit hallway.

"Is someone there?" I asked, going against the warning that echoed in my mind to keep silent.

Silence followed my question and lasted for over three minutes.

I shot my head back, slowly realizing that I must have been hallucinating. My mind was probably making voices up in my head out of fear.

I sighed in relief and turned around, continuing my walk to wherever the antidote might be.

My heart skipped when I heard footsteps echo in the hallway.

I stopped walking, my hands trembling violently beside me.

I leaned on the cold wall and gripped the hem of my shirt as I tried to control my fast and ragged breathing.

The footsteps stopped and I heard a grunt. My eyes widened, and my jaws dropped in dismay.

My mind snapped back to the boatman and chills rushed down my spine.

What if the whole story about demons eating up people in the Isle

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Finding the antidote

    VALERIE It seemed impossible to believe but there it was, standing gallantly on the stand in the middle of the hall. I felt like all the troubles and fights had finally come to an end. Right before me was the sole reason I was on that forbidden island. With a heart thumping in excitement and joy, I took a step forward and swiftly covered the distance between the stand and me. I paused and stared at the bottle of elixir like it was a priceless trophy. With trembling hands, I reached for it, and the moment my hand grasped it, a feeling that I had never felt before enveloped me. My lips shook and tears gathered in my eyes. Tears of accomplishment and happiness filled my eyes and rolled down my reddened cheeks.I raised it from the stand and stared keenly at it in admiration, picturing Killian sitting up on the bed, alive and well. "I promised to survive. I promise you'll survive," I muttered, a smile spread out across my face. "Are you sure about that?" A familiar voice muttered b

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Fight to death

    VALERIE My skin tingled as I waited for the pain to spread across my body, but nothing came. I slowly turned away from the engraved words to look at her. To my astonishment, she was staring right at what I was staring at, bearing the same expression that I had when I saw it. I looked at the words and then back at her, a sinister idea slipping into my mind. I jerked away from the wall and rushed towards the sword, sweeping it up from the floor. She snapped out of the trance she was in and spun around, but before she could restore her stance, my sword was already drawn and aiming for her belly. Before she could parry the attack, I had sunk the blade into her belly. A gasp echoed in the hall and silence fell between us. We stood rooted at a spot, only separated by a sword that was stuck in her belly. She looked up, her eyes dark and rheumy. Blood dripped from her mouth, and her lips shook. Her eyes slowly grew lifeless, and her skin turned pale. "You are the one who

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Her end

    VALERIE I rose and stared at her pale body which had already gone limp under the chandelier.I felt no remorse for her or guilt for what I had done. She deserved every bit of the attack and every pain she felt when those glasses sank into her body.I turned around and began to walk away, clutching the pouch, which was the priceless item that I risked my life for.On getting to the door, my heart tightened and fear flashed through me.With shaking hands, I gripped the handles weakly and pushed the door.It pulled open at the slight nudge and my heart skipped in joy.I didn't waste a second more in that hall as I swiftly walked out.The moment my feet stepped out of the tower, I felt a wave coarse through me. A large smile appeared on my face and my feet shook in excitement. I didn't bother taking a look at the tower but proceeded with moving towards the dark waters. I took a deep breath, silently reciting the words that I had seen on the wall. Chills surged through my spine when my

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Unexpected place

    VALERIE I narrowed my eyes at her question and scoffed. I was certain that she wasn't happy that I was back. "Shouldn't I be asking you that instead?" I asked, glaring at her. "You didn't seem to get punished for your sassy behavior over there," she muttered."Why? Are you disappointed to find out that none of the traumas I faced there broke me down?" I blurted out, making sure that the mockery was evident in my voice.She scoffed and sat up, flipping her long lustrous hair to the side as she admired her manicure. My lips turned up as I watched her, slowly burning out my patience. "Why am I not in the Blood Moon Pack?" I snapped. "Hush!" She snapped, placing her hand over my heavily glossed lips. "You are in a sacred place. Do not make too much noise," she whispered. I twitched up my lips in disgust but unwillingly obeyed her. I looked around the room and realized that it was a living room. "How is a living room your sacred place?" I asked sassily. She darted her eyes in my

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Back to the Blood Moon Pack

    VALERIE "My lady!" Beta Neil exclaimed and rushed towards the car I was in as we drove in. He pulled the door open and stood aside for me with his head bowed. I felt an unexplainable happiness and satisfaction rock my body the moment the car drove into the manor of the Blood Moon Pack. I stepped out of the car, my face radiating with a smile over my accomplishment. The Beta smiled when he saw me, excited that I came back alive with the antidote as well. "Alpha Killian is still alive, right?" I asked the moment I faced him. "Yes. We all have been waiting for your arrival," he replied and bowed again. I smiled and turned to face Theo and Liam. "Thank you for protecting me," I muttered. "No, my lady, we should be thanking you for saving our lives," Liam responded. I chuckled and rubbed their broad shoulders, earning shocked gasps from them before walking away with the beta. Everywhere looked quite different even though I had lived there for months. Perhaps, it was the effect

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   The accusation

    VALERIE My heart stopped beating the moment his lips pressed against mine. A warm feeling washed over my body and my legs stopped shaking. He pulled away and blinked repeatedly before grasping my hand. His eyes held emotions that I couldn't interpret even though the meaning was clear to me and everyone surrounding us.His lips trembled, and his chest rose and fell, causing a knot to form in my throat."Go on," he whispered tenderly to me, brushing my hair back with his hand before letting go of my hand. He glanced over at Michelle and nodded towards her. "Come on, take her in and prepare the antidote for Killian," he said in a completely different tone. Happiness rippled through me, and I tried hard not to burst into laughter or mockery before everyone. Michelle, who was almost numb from shock nodded slowly and began to climb the stairs with heavy steps. A smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I trailed after Michelle. We didn't say a word to one another as we walked acros

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Do that again

    VALERIE Lucian parted his lips, ready to pass out his judgment on me. "Why should she be treated that way after what she went through to find the antidote?" Lucian questioned me, snapping a glare at Michelle. "Do you even have a conscience?" He snapped at Michelle and her jaws dropped. "How sure are you that she went to the Isle of the Blessed? It's possible that she stayed at a place and returned with a drug prepared by a witch!" She groused, still trying to turn Lucian against me. "Why don't you focus on helping him recover instead of laying blame!" Lucian growled at her and she jumped, embarrassment smeared against her face. "But…" Lucian grabbed me and raised my shirt, pointing at the wound on my belly. "Is that enough to prove that she went there? Will she hurt herself so bad to lie?" He snapped. He sighed and dug his hand into his hair, groaning in anger as he glared at her in annoyance. "She did her part by going to the cursed Isle and getting the antidote, why don't

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Lose your voice

    VALERIE I almost choked when he whispered those words to me. "What… what?" I gasped, feeling the rush of blood in my face.""Don't you want to be sure you haven't lost your voice yet?" He teased, causing a smile to break out on my face. "Then I should see a doctor for my voice," I replied. Despite the desire I had for him, I still couldn't stop my stubbornness from showing up again.His hand moved to my hair, and he patted it gently before combing it down with his fingers."We don't need a doctor here, little Val, not when I'm right here," he whispered, teasing me with his hot breath against my neck. I shivered and giggled slightly.His hand traced up to my breast and he squeezed my hardened nipples, earning a gasp from me.He leaned forward and kissed my neck, placing love bites on my neck.I groaned out in pleasure, biting my lips as my eyes slammed shut in pleasure.My pussy was dripping wet, begging for an insertion of his fingers.He moved away and pushed his wavy hair back,

    MICHELLE A gasp slipped out of her mouth when Neil dangled the necklace in the air. She staggered back, rubbing her trembling hand across her neck. She raised her hand and pointed at the necklace before her, her eyes as wide as saucers. "That… that necklace…" she stuttered, her lips trembling. "That is the necklace I sent to you, isn't it?" Lucian snapped, glaring hatefully at her. "I…" Valerie stuttered. Her lips kept trembling as she couldn't find the right convincing words to defend herself with. I smirked, knowing that I had done excellent work by trapping her.I had switched the necklace with a fake one when she refused to wear it this morning. I knew Bianca would persuade her to wear it which she did, but funnily, she wore the fake one while I had the one Killian and Lucian sent to her.My initial plan was to drop it in the ceiling space to trap her but it still came out useful here."Her blood is on it, which means you pushed her," Killian said, sighing loudly in disappo

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Stuck in the middle

    VALERIE I curled up in the ceiling space, my clothes dampened with sweat. I sighed and checked the time, cursing silently. I bit my lips, wondering why the Pack's doctor would go so far to get the dreadful incense. I had to take my revenge tonight or I would never be able to get a chance to do so.As I sat on the dusty ground, lost in thought, a loud thud on the ceiling space jerked me back to the dreaded reality.I sprang up on my knees, my hands trembling in fear. The thud came again, followed by a hiss. I dimmed my eyes in confusion, staring at the dim light that flashed across the farther part of the ceiling space. I gasped in fear and clasped my hand over my mouth, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. I began to wonder if Michelle had deceived me by bringing me up here. After some minutes, the thud stopped, and everywhere became silent again, but as time passed, a low muffled sound slipped into my ears.I crouched in the dark ceiling space, my heart racing as I listened

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Surprise!

    MICHELLE I gasped and snatched my hand out of her strong grip."Why… why are you like that?" I snapped, filled with shock. She glanced around as if searching for someone before gripping my hand again. "You have to help me hide away from the Pack's doctor!" She snapped, her eyes filled with fear and desperation. I looked around the empty hall and then back at her, raising my brows in question. "What are you talking about? Why in the world will you be afraid of that doctor?" I scoffed.Her blood drained and her eyes got wider as dread clouded her eyes."She has an incense that could bring out a demon fully. She knows that I have a demon in me!" She blurted out.My jaws fell and I swung my head around, wondering what I should do. If the Lycan kings find out that I helped her hide, then it would be a disaster for me."I'm sorry, but I can't help here," I muttered, trying to shake her grip off my wrist, but she held on tight, glaring at me."You won't help me?" She snapped, sinking he

    MICHELLE I stood at the edge of the crowd, forcing a smile as Adriana danced with her sister, Arlene. My heart would always skip a beat every time she turned to look at me with an evil glee in her eyes.I needed no one to tell me that she planned on exposing me, but what I feared was the time she planned to do that.The music stopped playing and the Luna Queen grabbed a glass of wine, hitting a spoon against it.Everyone stopped what they were chattering about and focused on her.The Luna Queen smiled so happily, making my heart bleed. Whenever I saw her on that podium, I would always be reminded of the sadness on my mother's face before she died. That should have been my mother's throne, that should have been her place.If Luna Jasmine hadn't killed my mother back then, perhaps everything would have still been right. I wouldn't have to be intimidated by her mannerless daughter."It is time for the cutting of the cake and the announcement of a new age!" She announced and a loud ovat

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   The birthday ceremony

    VALERIE I walked into the large grand hall alongside Bianca, holding my head up high. A gasp slipped out of my lips the moment I stepped into the hall. It gave a charm that noroom had ever given. The ballroom stretched wide, its polished marble floor gleaming under the light of massive crystal chandeliers. Ornate gold-trimmed walls rose to meet a vaulted ceiling painted with delicate frescoes, while tall arched windows let moonlight spill across the room. Velvet drapes framed the windows, and soft classical music floated through the air, echoing the elegance of the atmosphere."Bianca, why does this place look so lovely?" I whispered, my eyes gleaming.She chuckled and nudged me playfully, a smile on her face."This is the grand hall of the Blood Moon Pack where every royal ceremony and gathering is held. Perhaps in the future, you and the Lycan kings will get married in this hall," she muttered and the smile on my face dropped."What?" I gasped.Her brows raised in confusion and

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Proof

    KILLIAN I walked down the dark hallway, swinging the blade in my hand and a cigarette stuck between my lips. I reached a door and punched in the passcode. The door rolled open and I walked into the room. The lights turned on, and my lips stretched into a smirk when my eyes fell on Alpha Cameron, who was struggling to remove the tapes tied around him. "Alpha Cameron, long time no see!" I laughed loudly, waving the blade in the air. He murmured but his words weren't delivered due to the gag on his mouth. "You want to say something?" I asked, grinning. He nodded his head, his eyes pleading. I chuckled and covered the spaces between us, then tore out the gag. He gasped in relief and sucked in some air, muttering words of gratitude. "A low-ranked alpha like you tried to step up to me? That is crazy!" I said, huffing loudly. He panted, refusing to say a word. I took a long drag at the cigarette and bent down, grabbed his hair."Tell me, who sent you?" I asked. He raised his eyes

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Broken by a brat

    MICHELLE "Your bath is ready, my lady," my maidservant said as she trudged into the bedroom. I smiled lightly and got off the chair that I was sitting on then shuffled into the bathroom. "Any news?" I asked her as I dipped my body into the warm water. "Did you prepare my gift?" I asked. "Yes, my lady," she responded. I smirked and took the body scrub, lathering my body with it. I would give Adriana a kind of gift that she would never forget. Not just her but everyone that would attend the birthday party that would be held tomorrow evening. "Your dress for the birthday ceremony has been delivered, my lady," the maidservant poked her head in and said. I smiled lightly and hummed in response, dipping my head into the water. Perhaps I could fulfill my mother's wish of finishing what she started and still be with the ones that I had always dreamed of being with. That would be killing two birds with a stone, and that was a method I had always been perfect in, even when I was a ch

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Another face

    ADRIANA My eyes batted in confusion and my lips trembled. "How can I argue with a dead woman? That's crazy!" I blurted out, unable to understand her words. Noah leaned closer, his eyes fixed on Diana. "Look here, Diana, I don't think it's the same woman. The woman behaved like every normal living being, she isn't—" "Hold on!" Diana said and took the phone, zooming the video. "Here, do you see that mole? That woman had that mole," she muttered, pointing at the small mole on the woman's face. "Who is this woman to you?" Noah asked while I replayed the video, searching for clues that would prove Diana either right or wrong. "She was my homeroom teacher in middle school. I attended her funeral with my parents," she muttered. "What killed her?" I asked. "Influenza," she mumbled. I peered closely and finally realized something strange about the woman. "Why is her skin tone different?" I muttered. Noah and Diana stopped talking and swerved their head in my direction. "What?" I

    ARIANA Noah sighed and followed me out, laughing mockingly behind me. "Can you stop?" I snapped when I got to the parking lot. "Don't tell me that moron is your boyfriend—" "Was!" I corrected him, "Besides, I was just helping him become relevant." Noah stared at me in silence, his head tilted to the side while I fumed."You are pained, aren't you?" I scoffed and shook my head. "The only feeling I'm having right now is regret. I can't believe I let that leech go after the money I've given him. He'll pay for it all," I snarled, smirking sinisterly. "Now I know why you didn't break his skull in there," he chuckled and lit a cigarette, leaning on the car, beside me. My phone rang and I cursed loudly, bringing it out. I narrowed my eyes when Diana's name flashed across the screen. I accepted the call and placed the phone to my ear. "Are you in town? Let's meet up at our spot," she said. I felt relief wash over my body and I hummed in agreement. "I've had a terrible day, this i
