VALERIE

How many days did I roll down that dark endless abyss? I couldn't calculate.

But one thing was certain at a point. I saw a light.

It was dim at first, piercing my lifeless eyes with a single ray and rushing hope and life to my dead body. The closer I got to the dim light, the brighter it got, and the greater my hope heightened.

“Valerie!" A familiar voice snapped into my mind, setting my dead brain cells back in order.

“V!"

That nickname sounded familiar but I couldn't place where I had heard it.

The light flashed into my eyes, causing me to gasp and slam my eyes shut.

“Valerie, can you hear me?" The voice muttered in my head and I fluttered my eyes open.

The surroundings seemed strange and full of light, unlike the dark vacuum I had been stuck in.

“You're finally awake?" That was a feminine voice, but it definitely didn't sound like my mom's voice.

Who owned it? Michelle?

I swerved my head around and the face that smiled down at me made my brows raise in surprise.

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Run away with me

    VALERIE I stood by the window, resting my weight on the crutch, staring at the running kids in the field.A day had passed since I woke up and yet no sign of them or Michelle. This was enough, wasn't it?I had made up my mind to leave whenever these invisible wounds healed up and whenever I had gotten my revenge on Michelle.I swore to make her pay, and relenting was no option for me. I was going to be a monster, I had to get ready for the sacrifices, and that included locking up my feelings.“How are you feeling?" The last voice I wished to hear echoed behind me.I took a deep breath and turned around, staring blankly at Damion's face.Sadness darted across his eyes when he glanced at the crutch I held onto.“I heard…" he paused and bit his lips, that innocent action causing my heart to flip.“Yeah, we fell, and she was the only one that ended up with a serious injury. Stupid, right? I chuckled, hoping that the pain in my voice didn't reach his ears.He sighed and tucked his hands

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Friendship and partners

    VALERIE The cheerful chatter in the kitchen made me stretch my lips into a smile. Two days have passed since that passionate kiss with Damion on the rooftop. It seemed that the kiss was the real reason for my quick healing. Michelle hadn't woken up or she wasn't satisfied with her pretense and the Lycan kings' endless care for her “How are you feeling now?" Monica asked as she ran her curious eyes over my body. “Better than before," I grinned and she giggled. I and Damion had decided when to kick off with our plans of running away. However, I still felt worried about the risky decision that we had made. But life is all about risk, isn't it? So, I was ready to take the risk for the one that I love. “You are making a mistake, Val," Jade's weak voice sneaked into my mind, and I scoffed, narrowing my eyes. “No, I'm not!" I snapped at her and she slid back into her shell. Ever since I decided to leave the Lycan Kings, Jade had refused to talk to me. Though I didn't care about be

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Tell the truth

    VALERIE “Are you sure you want to do this?” Bianca asked as we tiptoed across the corridor that led to the room where Michelle was.“I have to. This is the only way to clear my name," I muttered, unwavering from my decision to get the truth out of her and get her punished.“But—" I stopped sneaking towards the room and looked at Bianca's face which had worry etched against it."You don't have to do it. I will get this done by myself to avoid implicating others in my mess,” I said.Guilt washed across her pale face and she quickly shook her head in disagreement."No, I will come along with you,” she muttered and my lips stretched into a smile.“I am not upset with you. I just don't want you to get hurt,” I said, and rubbed her shoulders, smiling warmly at her."Are you sure that you want to do this?” She asked again and I nodded firmly.She sighed and rubbed my cheeks before stepping back."I wish you all the best,” she whispered, and I nodded before spinning around and heading toward

    VALERIEMy grip around her hair slackened when my eyes fell on Lucian. Michelle cried out, and flung my hand off her hair before rolling over, grasping her leg and belly as she faked bitter tears.Lucian's fist clenched in fury as he watched her pretend to be hurt by me.“Michelle!" He snapped and walked fully into the room, rushing towards her.He dropped to a knee beside her and turned her over, muttering words that I couldn't hear to her.My heart twisted in pain at the betrayal that was happening before me. I was astonished that he could care for a woman that way, yet he never seemed to care if I was dead or alive.He cupped her into his arms and dropped her carefully on the bed, sitting beside her and he took her hand into his.“Oh, Lucian, why does she hate me that much?” She muttered and faked a sob.I turned up my lips in anger and scoffed.Lucian craned his neck backward and glared at me.I narrowed my eyes at him and began to stride to the door, filled with anger.“Stop righ

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   The real villain

    KILLIAN “Will she be fine?" I asked the Pack's doctor and she nodded her head, taking a step back.I stared blankly at Adriana's face which was slowly getting some life into it."If Lady Michelle was okay, Miss Adriana would have been awake by now," she muttered, and my fist clenched in indignation.“Well… she is still alive," I muttered and ran my hands through Adriana's hair before getting up from the couch I sat on.“Take care of her. I will be back," I instructed, and she bowed slightly as I walked out of the room.The thought of Valerie pushing Michelle off the hill still amazed me. It was hard to believe as Valerie would never do such a thing. If it was the other way around, then it would have been believable.I pushed the door open and walked in without announcement.Michelle, who was seated on the bed, flinched, almost throwing the cup she held to the ground.“You scared me!" She snapped and narrowed her eyes, drinking from the cup again.“You seem to recover your voice quick

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   The hunt for the truth

    VALERIE I shrieked in fear when the gates fell open. Killian rushed in, sweat dripping down his broad chest. My brows shot up as I wondered what he wanted again. “Little fox, come with me!" He snapped and before I could protest, he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room. As he dragged me along the dark corridor, my heart, which had almost left my body, slowly returned. However, it didn't stop skipping beats as thoughts of what he wanted to do with me haunted my mind. I hoped he wasn't planning to use me to satisfy his sexual urge. I swore within myself to kill him if he dared try to pull me to his bed. “Where are you taking me?" I asked when we stepped out of the corridor and climbed the old creaking stairs out of the underground. He didn't reply, instead, he pulled me roughly and briskly through the passageways, ignoring all greetings thrown at him. He dragged me to the garage and shoved me into a car then slid in beside me and ignited it before driving out of the m

    VALERIE I gasped in disbelief and staggered back, my eyes as wide as saucers. “You… you believe me?" I said in almost a whisper and he smiled, nodding his head. Tears gathered in my eyes as I stared at him. Who would have believed that he would help me to prove my innocence? I dropped my head on his chest, crying silently. " Hey,” he cooed, digging his hand into my hair as he rubbed my scalp. “You don't have to worry, hmm," he muttered and traced the back of my neck with his finger. “Let's leave this place," he muttered and I pulled away from him. But as I turned around to leave, my heart sank when I saw Damion, standing some distance away from us. Sadness and anger rocked his orbs as he watched us. “Damion," I whispered, filled with guilt. He gulped hard, cast a glance at Killian then turned around and walked off. My belly knotted, and I felt my head spin in circles as his figure disappeared slowly into the dark forest. “Damion!" I shouted and began to run after him but

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   A monster?

    VALERIE I slammed my eyes shut, my body shook as I muffled gibberish under my breath.“Please… don't…don't hurt me," those were the only words that I made out from all the gibberish that I had been muttering.A cold hand gripped my arm and I yelled in fear, still unable to open my eyes. My body was so paralyzed that I couldn't shrug off his hand.This was all Killian's fault. If he hadn't brought me here to abandon me, I wouldn't have been trapped in a monster's trap.“Please…let me go,” I whispered in a quivering voice and heard a low, dark chuckle.“Really?" The voice sounded familiar, yet dark and sinister.“Little fox?" That nickname forced me to open my eyes and look up.Relief washed across my body when I saw Killian's face instead of that of a monster.I sighed loudly and slowly got up, burying my head in embarrassment.“What was that?" He asked, and I raised my brows in question, even though I knew what he was talking about.“Huh?" I muttered, narrowing my eyes.He smirked an

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Everything is over

    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

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Trapped

    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

    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

    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

    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
