VALERIE

I was dead sure that it was the witch's voice. She had deceived me into sleeping so she could get into my dream. I shook my head to the side, getting filled with energy and anger to fight whatever was making life unbearable for me.

I groaned silently and began to kick my legs desperately.

Just as I was kicking my legs in the air-filled water, I felt something fall off my hands. I stopped kicking my legs around and moved my arms. My arms moved freely and a grin of satisfaction managed to break into my face.

I continued to kick my feet despite how sore they had become.

Whatever was binding my feet finally fell loose, and I shook it off, then began to swim to the surface.

My shoulders began to ache at some point but I couldn't stop swimming, and the annoying whisper didn't relent either.

Everything felt so real. I was trapped in another world and not in a dream.

If the witch was the one behind this haunt, then she would try to stop me from waking up.

My throat knotted in anger

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Another me?

    VALERIE I was staring at myself and I couldn't help but scoff in disbelief. Her nose, eyes, ears, face, and even her body were all mine. The only difference between us was the darkness lurking in her chestnut eyes. "Who are you?" I asked and she chuckled lightly. "You are me, and I am you. What more is there to say," she muttered, and my heart constricted. "What are you? Why… why do you look like me?" I asked. She took a step forward and I staggered back, filled with fear and shock."You want to know?" She asked and stretched forth her hand.My hand began to tremble in curiosity and I stretched out my hand to touch her hand, curious to know what her skin felt like. I doubted if she was real. Perhaps, she was a figment of my imagination, an illusion used to deceive me.My hands were about to touch her palm when those words echoed in my mind.I stopped and stared into her eyes, watching the dark haze that floated in her eyes. In her eyes, she looked different. She looked like ano

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Betrayed

    VALERIE I trailed after the witch into the house and stared at the interior designs in admiration. Even though it wasn't much, its little designs were worth gushing over. "You must have thought of a shrine as my abode," she muttered as she pulled off the scarf wrapped around her head and walked into a room that seemed to be the kitchen. "Would you like to drink something?" She asked from the kitchen. My lips parted and slammed shut as I thought of an answer to give her. My stomach rumbled loudly, already voicing out my answer before I could talk. "Yes, perhaps coffee," I muttered and she hummed in approval. I leaned into the comfy couch, sighing loudly in pleasure as I slammed my eyes shut, almost drifting off to sleep. My eyes flew open when that nightmare replayed in my mind. I sat up and looked around the living room, groaning loudly in disappointment. That was the perfect time to have a sweet, relieved sleep, but the thought haunting me in my dream stopped that comforti

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Spitfire girl

    VALERIE I could hear the clattering of plates and a thick layer of incense hung above my head. I coughed and wheezed, tilting my head to avoid the scent in the air before opening my eyes.I looked at the dimly lit room that I was lying in and my eyes widened when I spotted a needle in my arm.My trembling hand reached for the needle and I pulled it out cautiously, sighing loudly.My heart dropped into my belly when I looked around the room and discovered that it looked more like a shrine than a room.Blades of different sizes bearing different symbols were stuck to the wall. Two pans hung from the ceiling, and thick incense from an incense burner stood at two corners of the room.I looked around, filled with fear and curiosity, wondering how I ended up there.I slammed my eyes shut, trying to remember, but a wave of events that took place came rushing into my mind and my eyes flew open, filled with fear and indignation.I sat up slowly, intentionally making noises that would gather

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Never makes mistakes

    VALERIE My jaws dropped in dismay as I stared at the huge creature before me, held back by large chains. It growled, revealing its long and dangerous fangs, the fiery eyes piercing into mine. We were in another room, perhaps, the beast's prison. "What am I doing here?" I asked, my eyes as wide as saucers. She looked at me, smiling sinisterly. "Behind that beast is the portal to the ancient world. If you want to get there, you will have to get through the beast," she said, and I scoffed in disbelief. Mere staring at the beast made my stomach churn in fear. "Do you still want to do it?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. I gulped hard, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. "Unless… you will bow down and worship me. I might consider taming the creature," she muttered and anger rippled through my bones. That was it. She wanted me to worship her or die. I thought of giving up but that sounded like the dumbest idea I've ever had. After going through demons, self-doubt, and

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Shattered hope

    VALERIE I grinned widely in pride as I picked up the blade and headed towards the door. I pulled the door open and stepped in but ended up falling. Darkness hit me and I found myself moving through a vacuum.Darkness hit me again and I groaned loudly as pain shot through my body.I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the sky above, realizing that I was lying on the ground. I jerked up and darted my eyes around the strange surroundings. I staggered up to my feet and stared at the woods that I was in. It didn't look any different from the woods in my world, but it smelled different. I sighed and began to trudge cluelessly around the woods, cursing loudly for the stress that was being inflicted on me. "Couldn't they just drop me at the bank of the river? Who in the world is doing this to me!" I screamed at the top of my lungs when I realized that I had been moving in circles for hours. I clenched my fist when an idea of who the person was sneaked into my mind. Perhaps, this was her

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Back in time

    VALERIE I jerked up when the liquid slipped into my nose, choking me. I gasped and sat up, staring at the faces that looked down at me. They all looked my age. Aside from that, they looked and dressed differently.The events of what happened earlier replayed in my mind and I burst into tears, shamelessly crying before them.After all that I had gone through for the sake of the antidote, I ended up losing it.At that moment, I realized that the greatest enemy I had was myself.Everything had all been ruined and I felt like I was trapped in that world forever.I didn't save Killian and I wouldn't be able to return to my world either. I had lost to the witch, to Michelle, and myself. I was a loser, I had always been a loser.I stopped crying and decided to acknowledge the environment that I was in and the people who observed me.They exchanged frightened glances and stepped back. I guessed they must have assumed that I was some alien that fell from the sky."Who is she?" A little girl

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Their father

    VALERIE His eyes dimmed and he walked closer. Each step he took towards me made my heart skip and caused my breath to hitch. "You are from Blue Moon Pack?" He asked. His voice was deeper, deeper than Lucian's voice, and his blue eyes were sharper than Killian's eyes. He looked exactly like my mates! "Uhm… uhm…" I stammered, suddenly losing the right words.He tilted his head to the side, staring at me with amusement dancing in his sharp blue eyes."Who sent you?" He asked.My throat knotted and I struggled to find the right words.I still couldn't believe that I was staring at someone who looked so much like Lucian and Killian, someone who might turn out to be their father if my calculations didn't turn out to be wrong."I was sent by my alpha," I quickly rasped out without thinking."Alpha Carlos?" He asked, and I nodded my head, even though I didn't know who bore that name.The Alpha that ruled my Pack before the current Alpha didn't go by the name Carlos. Perhaps, he was mistake

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   The Luna I never knew

    VALERIE She waved her hand over my face, and I blinked, getting back to reality."Are you a maidservant? I never asked for one," she muttered.I flashed a nervous smile, hoping she wouldn't report me to the Luna."I… I thought that was my room," I blurted out before I could stop myself. "What?" Her eyes dimmed in confusion and she huffed, making my heart drop. "I have lived in this room for months," she muttered and my brows raised."For months?" I murmured, my throat knotting. She folded her hands under her breasts and tilted her head to the side, staring at me keenly. "I haven't seen you before, who are you?" She asked. I bit my lips and narrowed my eyes, thinking of an answer to give her. "I… I am Valerie Garrett," I replied. She hummed, nodding her head slowly. "I just arrived at the Pack," I added and her eyes lit up. Her hands dropped and she advanced towards me, grabbing my hand. Shivers rushed down my spine when her hands touched mine. "Then… you don't mind if I ta

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   Unending nightmare

    MICHELLE I rushed to the garage and called out to Lucian before he got into the car. He paused and looked up, raising his brows in question. I placed a large, innocent smile on my face as I walked up to him. "You are going to see Adriana, aren't you?" I asked, grinning. He tilted his head to the side and hummed in response, the silent question of 'what do you want' still rotating in his eyes. "I want to visit Adriana but I fear they won't let me in if I go alone. I want to see how she is faring," I blurted out, fully aware that Killian hadn't told him of his suspicions. At least, the conflict they had between them has become quite helpful now. His huff snapped me back to the conversation and forced me to look at his face. A smirk of anger was evident on his face, making me wonder if I was wrong with my conclusion. "Why do you care so much about seeing her? Is there anything you want to know?" He asked and my throat knotted. What if I was wrong? What if he had suspected me

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   How does it feel?

    MICHELLE I couldn't stop fidgeting as I paced around the garden with Valerie's words echoing in my mind. I bit my fingers, thinking of ways that I could silence her before the day of her judgment. I had taken the risk of silencing Adriana and my maidservant, it would be a waste if I let Valerie expose me after all my efforts. But if I have to silence Valerie, then I have to keep the guards guarding the dungeon quiet as well. I groaned in frustration and turned around but collided with a maid.The coffee pot on the tray turned over and the steaming brown coffee splashed on me."Why is everything getting worse!" I screamed, feeling a burning, painful sensation gnawing on my skin. The maid went on her knees and bowed lowly. "Forgive me, my lady!" She said, trembling slightly. "Sorry?" I snapped, silently muttering spells that eased the pain throbbing at the spot the hot coffee hit. "Will your worthless apology heal the scalds on my skin?" I growled at her "No, my lady, but I wil

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   The killer

    KILLIAN I stared solemnly at the clear sky then shifted my gaze to the ground below, watching as people bustled around the manor, moving in and out through the gate with different emotions scribbled against their faces.I had spent the night in the hospital, waiting for Adriana to regain consciousness and spill out the rascal that dared to attempt killing her, but with the doctor's persuasion that she wouldn't be waking up at any moment, I had to leave helplessly.Since the incident, I have tried to understand the circumstances surrounding Valerie and the connection between the disasters that occurred yesterday. The words she said still echoed in my mind but I hadn't brought myself to think about it due to what happened to my sister and the maidservant.Did she commit those crimes to avenge her father whom she claimed we murdered? Even if she did, what has that got to do with the maidservant that was thrown off the roof?I scoffed and shook my head, taking another swig of the alcohol

  • Lycan Brothers Want Me   She knows

    MICHELLE I gasped and staggered back, clinging to the cold wall with my hair springing up. "Damion?" I snapped, heaving loudly at the monstrous face he had on.He slowly got up and breathed out smoke as he marched towards me with a clenched fist covered in veins. I shrieked loudly and jerked my head to the side, closing my eyes at the disgusting mark on his face. "What the hell are you doing?" I growled, wrinkling my nose as the demon's disgusting breath hit my face. "Fucking stop!" I growled in frustration. "Why did you do that? Why did you make Valerie take the fall?" He groused. I scoffed loudly and twitched up my lips in disgust and mockery. "You expect me to take the fall after planning that for Adriana?" I snapped. "You should have thought of a way to escape before carrying out your evil-doing," he fired back at him. Anger surged through me and I gritted my teeth, glaring at him. "Get Damion's face back, you look disgusting!" I spat at him in disdain. My words took h

  • 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
