VALERIE
My breath hitched when we got to the large oak doors, madam Margaret stepped back and jerked her head towards the door. “Go in,” she muttered and my heart shrank. My feet froze as I struggled to move closer and push the door open. “Valerie?” Margaret snapped impatiently. “The Alpha doesn't like to be kept waiting,” she added, but no matter how hard I tried, my paralyzed feet wouldn't budge from the spot. I gasped out, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. “Go in!” Margaret repeated, her voice louder than before. I gulped hard and bit my lips before pushing my feet forward. I reached out to open the door, but it pulled open, and Alpha Jonas's face popped out, to my dismay. Anger flickered across his sharp brown eyes as he ran his eyes around my trembling body. “Why is she late?” He sneered in a voice that made me cringe. “Forgive me, Alpha. She is a naive girl,” I heard Margaret reply behind me. “Naive?” He scoffed with disdain laced in his voice. He snapped his eyes in my direction and shivers ran down my spine. He moved out of the way and waved his hand towards the inner part of the room. “Get in there!” My heart dropped into the pit of my knotted belly. Tears slowly gathered in my eyes as I scanned the dimly lit room from where I stood. “Get in, dear,” Margaret's whisper jolted me back to my senses. I nodded and walked slowly into the room. I heard the shuffle of Margaret's footsteps slowly fade away. The sound of the door slamming close brought fear. My throat knotted as I felt his cold hands grip my waist. His hot breath fanned my face when he brought his face closer to my neck, placing a kiss on it. I shivered and my body stiffened at his touch. “Pull off your clothes,” he said and my belly knotted. I don't know where the courage came from but I found myself shaking my head in disagreement. “What?” His eyes darkened as he stared at me, astonished. I parted my lips and summoned as much courage as I could, staring into his devilish eyes. “I won't be your sex slave.” Shock darted quickly across his eyes at my outburst. He scoffed, chuckling sinisterly. The dark smile on his face slowly faded away and he scowled at me. “Pull off your clothes!” He rasped in a more authoritative tone. I stared at him, filled with fear and a little bit of courage. “I said that I won't!” I snapped and his forehead wrinkled in anger and dismay. I want to get away from him but I can't make out of a way. My rheumy eyes drifted towards the window and an idea flashed into my head. I spun around and dashed for it, not caring about what will happen next. Surprisingly, he didn't come after me like I predicted. I pulled the windows open and gasped out as the cold stinging air hit me hard on my face I batted my lashes and looked down when I recovered from the sting. To my dismay, I couldn't see the ground below. All I could see was darkness. “Go on, jump,” he chuckled behind me. My heart shrank in defeat and I slowly pulled away from the window. All my hope is gone and I am trapped with this monster. What do I do? How do I get out of this tyrant's grip? “Shut it!” He snapped and I jumped. My trembling hands reached for the windows and I slammed them shut. Immediately, I turned; his hands gripped my dress, and my eyes widened as he ripped it off. I gasped out and cupped my breasts with my hands, dropping my head down dejectedly. He laughed out like a maniac and gripped my arm, pushing me roughly towards the bed. I gasped out when my body hit the soft mattress. He gripped my legs before I could begin to struggle and forcefully parted my legs, getting in between my thighs. I screamed out and sank my nails into his shoulder, fighting him off with every single strength left in me. Oh, goddess, please help me out, please save me from this monster. He leaned closer and captured my lips in a ferocious kiss, I groaned out in disgust and sank my teeth into his lips. He groaned and pulled away from me then sent a heavy slap across my face. Pain shot through my cheeks and a shrill sound echoed in my ear. I cried out and tilted my head to the side, clenching my fist as my cheeks burned from his hit. His large rough hand gripped my chin, forcing me to look into his darkened eyes. “You little whore!” He spat and lowered his face, capturing my lips again. This time, I didn't try to fight him like I did earlier. I kept quiet and snapped my eyes shut as his hands explored my body. “Open your eyes! I want you to watch me break that little hymen between your legs!” He barked, making my blood freeze. I obeyed him and my eyelids fluttered open, my eyes staring into his dark brown eyes filled with lust and evil. I heard the ripping sound of lacy material strapped around my waist and my heart skipped. Shivers ran down my spine when his hands brushed against the bare folds of flesh covering my untouched vagina. I need to stop him, I have to. I can't let him take my pride in the most disgraceful way. I've kept my virginity for whoever my mate turns out to be. I can't let this monster break the remaining dream that I hold dear. But what can I do? What? “Please, stop,” I whimpered but my pleas only got a smack as a response. I cried out as pain throbbed in my face. “Shut it, whore!” He snapped, burning me with the fury in his eyes. My cries dwindled to a muffle but increased again when he began to pull off his clothes. He growled at me, showing off his dangerous fangs. I cringed and snapped my eyes shut at the horrifying sight. He sent a third slap across my face, forcing me to open my eyes. My throat tightened as I stared at the cock dangling before me. His hands grabbed my hair from behind, and he forced my head up; the tip of his cock hit my face. “Have you sucked a cock before?” He laughed, making my heart constrict. “Put it in your mouth and suck it till it stiffens,” he ordered, shoving the cock towards my lips. I slammed my lips together, cranking my head back. He hissed in anger and tightened his grip on my hair, almost pulling it out of my scalp. I groaned, shaking my head as pain rippled through my head. “Do it, you bitch!” He growled and shoved my head forward, burying my face in his thighs, his balls hitting my face. I clenched the sheets and struggled helplessly to get my face out as my breath seized. “When you're tired of the suffocation, then you obey me,” he said, chuckling evilly. When seen outside, he looks like an angel but inside, he's a monster, a devil. I wonder why the moon goddess let people like this rule a pack and treat the lower werewolves like slaves. Perhaps, if my beastly and selfish stepfather hadn't sold me to Alpha Jonas, I wouldn't be in this situation. I choked and finally gave up. He noticed my submission and let go of my head. I dropped down to the bed, gasping loudly and I sucked in as much air as I could. His hands running down my thighs caused a feeling of disgust to ripple through me. I wanted to slap his hands away but couldn't. My hands were tied. His large body hovered above mine and I felt the tip of his cock brush against my opening. I shuddered and tears filled my eyes. “Are you ready?” He grinned, squeezing my nipples. My best friend always tells me of her sex escapades with her mate and the way she always feels when he touches her. But I couldn't feel anything, all I felt at the moment was disgust and anger. My heart constricted and my eyes widened in dismay as he directed his dick towards my pussy. As he was about to plunge into me, the door burst open, and a man staggered in, covered in blood. I shrieked out in horror and gripped Alpha Jonas’s shoulders. “Alpha!” The man snapped, his eyes darting from me to Alpha Jonas who stared angrily at him. “They are here, they are here!” He said, fear visibly laced in his voice. I looked at Alpha Jonas and saw fear flicker across his eyes. He sprang up and grabbed his clothes, quickly wearing them. “Get up, right now!” He snapped at me, glaring hatefully at me. I scrambled to my feet, silently thanking the moon goddess for saving me from my worst nightmare. I reached for my ripped dress and wore it. Though, it didn't cover much but it was better than having nothing on. “Open the secret passage!” He ordered and gripped my hand, glaring at me. “You are coming with me.” My heart sank in dismay and my lips trembled. But my fears increased when we heard a loud howl that made the ground beneath my feet shake. Alpha Jonas glanced around the room, fear visibly scribbled on his face. “Shit!” He cursed and dragged me off to the window. I stepped back in shock when he flung it open and stepped on it. He glanced back at me with a scowl on his face before sweeping me into his arms. Before we jumped off, I glanced back and saw the man lying on the floor, a pool of blood surrounding him. My body froze at the sight of the pool of dark blood and shadows.VALERIE The silence that fell in the hall made me fear that I had said something wrong. “Hail the Luna!” A shout broke from one of the elders, and the guests chanted after him, filling the hall with a loud ovation. I sighed in relief and smiled when the elder smiled and bowed to me. I reached for the seal and grabbed it, then raised it for everyone to behold. The chants got louder, and the music began to play. I grinned widely and rushed towards Arlene and Adriana. I didn’t hesitate to pull them into my arms, and they didn’t hesitate to return the hug. I pulled away and stroked their hair, tears lurking in my eyes. “I am sorry that I wasn’t there,” I whispered. “You were there. Thank you for taking revenge for my mother by ending Michelle,” Adriana muttered, and I chuckled, hoping the tears wouldn’t flow out. I looked up and saw Bianca, leaning on a pillar, her eyes fixed on me with tears in them. "Let's talk later, hmm?" I said to Adriana and Arlene before taking
VALERIE GARRETT The large oak doors pulled open, and I took slow, calculated steps into the hall, scanning the unsmiling faces of everyone through the veil that concealed my face. The rest of the light came on when I descended the stairs. My eyes searched for Adriana and Arlene, and I felt my heart warm up when I found them, standing among guests, their faces hardened and their eyes glaring with pure hatred.I guessed that they thought I was someone else. Someone who wasn’t Valerie Garrett. My eyes shifted towards Lucian and Killian, and my lips stretched into a smirk. Their eyes held happiness and impatience, despite sacrificing what they valued the most to save me from the lordess of destruction, they didn’t seem to care. The only thing that mattered to them was me. Perhaps, they deserved redemption after all.After staying with Tenebris and my mother, I realized that, truly, I had no regret whatsoever. The only regret I might have is losing the Luna Queen. Every moment that passed
LUCIAN The smile on my face fell and my eyes widened at the awful sight before me. "Salvador!" I growled, clenched my fist. I heard a gasp from Adriana and she whisked out of Salvador's arms, breathing heavily with widened eyes full of horror. "Brother!" She exclaimed in shock and looked up at Salvador, who stood beside her. My fist clenched and I looked at Salvador, directing a hateful glare at him. His gaze raised in my direction and he stared blankly at me with no emotion in his eyes. "I wasn't planning to hurt your sister," he mumbled calmly, showing no fear or remorse. I scoffed loudly and shifted my glare to Adriana. "Get the fuck out!" I snapped. She bowed and rushed out of the room with her head down in embarrassment. "Bastard!" I growled the moment the door behind me slammed shut.I rushed towards him and didn't think twice before hitting him on his face.Salvador staggered back, his hand wiping the blood that dripped from his nose. "You are misunderstanding it all
ADRIANA I couldn’t stop fidgeting in my seat despite the multiple warnings from the makeup artist.The anger burning in me seemed unquenchable, and the only way that I could calm myself down was by doing what I was doing, which in turn was frustrating the artist. Just when I thought I could deal with the anger of getting pushed by my brothers for Salvador, a soul-wrenching announcement later that night added fuel to the fire that was already burning in me.I wondered what made them want to quickly replace Valerie and my mother. Was this why they went on a mysterious journey no one, aside from Salvador, knew about?Knowing how crazy my brothers were for Valerie, I doubted if they were getting a new Luna on their own free will.“Hold on, my lady,” The makeup artist beside me said, and I jerked back to reality, then huffed loudly.I looked at my face in the mirror and huffed again, narrowing my eyes.“If you don’t like it, I can...”“I do not like it!” I snapped, and the woman flinched,
SALVADORThe moment I turned off the car’s ignition, the brat flew out of the car and rushed towards the garage’s exit.I scoffed and grabbed the wasted shirt on the backseat, then tied a scarf around my neck before heading out of the garage. I stepped out of the garage and dumped the gory shirt into a trash can. The people standing close by widened their eyes in horror and kept their eyes on me while whispering amongst themselves, but I didn't care.Despite how fast she walked, I still overtook her with just a few paces.She stopped walking and spun around, staring at me with surprise lurking around her eyes.“How did you get here so soon?” she asked. I looked at her and shrugged, that smirk that pisses her off stuck on my face.“Acting like you don’t know what I am,” I scoffed. She cursed under her breath and narrowed her eyes before heading up the stairs.I chuckled and trailed after her to Lucian and Killian Nox’s study. I found her standing like a confused child when I reached th
ADRIANA Salvador stepped out, slammed the door shut, and trudged towards the large man with the axe swinging in his left hand.Salvador muttered something to him and the man smirked evilly.“I was told by an insider that you lost the throne to one of your father’s illegitimate sons. It must be a shame, isn’t it?” the man said, and my jaw dropped.“You have no one to protect you now, your father has rejected you for choosing the wolves over your people,” the man added.Salvador slowly glanced back, his cold gaze that fell on me sent chills rushing through my veins.He turned and looked at the man, his hand gripping the axe.“Let’s end it then,” he muttered and took a step back. The sinister smirk on the man’s face fell, and he scoffed loudly, then turned towards the men behind him and nodded his head.My heart leaped as the men surrounding him rushed towards him with raised axes and loud grunts. Salvador grabbed the first man and flipped him around, sending his ass to one of the cars.
