six: EVIL BEHIND BEAUTY

Valerie

Oh Goddess, no.

This couldn't be happening to me!

The Alpha sat comfortably on the head on the table but refused to meet my eyes, while his wife, the Luna, smirked at me as she took in my reaction.

but I couldn't focus on her for too long. Not when the three monsters I ran away from were seated comfortably, their gazes pinned on me.

"Hello there, little wolf." Ansel smirked wickedly at me, and I almost fell on myself with how fast I turned to leave, but the guards who were once outside held me down tightly, turning me to look back at the three devils seated on the couch, my worst nightmares coming to live.

"What the hell are you looking for here?" I growled, my whole body vibrating with anger and fear as I stood in front of them, their eyes pinned on me with their identical calculating gaze.

they couldn't be here to take me away, could they? I would never return, even if it was to fight to the death.

"Well," Kaden spoke up, his ever clean shirt pinned with cufflinks moulding out his intimidating body, while the two buttons on his shirt were opened, giving me a glimpse of his tattooed chest.

Heat passed through me at the sight of his body, and I mentally reprimanded myself for my action as I peeled my eyes off his body and into his eyes.

He caught me staring, and a smirk made its way to his lips.

"We've come for you, Valerie."

My heart thundered in my chest as I stared into his eyes, trying to see if he was telling lies. He wasn't lying.

"What did you say?"

Grey, who has been quiet the whole time, rose an annoyed eyebrow. "I don't recall you being deaf. Stupid, but not deaf."

his words cut a cord through my heart as I stared at them, dumbfounded and unable to find my voice.

My eyes found the Alpha's again, and he avoided my gaze once again, confirming what they were saying.

"No." I whispered, shaking my head as I walked backwards, but the guards held me in place.

Their gazes stayed pinned on me, and I could see them enjoying my breakdown. They made my life hell, and now they were back to what, take me back to that pack where I suffered in their hands and in my foster family's hands?

I'm never going to go with them.

"I'm not leaving here with anyone!" I screamed, my voice stinging with tears as I glared at all of them.

"This is my pack. I'm not going. I'm a free wolf, and nothing is going to stop me from living my life the way I want!"

Ansel and Kaden shared a look while Grey's angry eyes stayed pinned on me.

A chuckle left Kaden's lips. "Cute, you think you have a choice, love."

Ansel turned to the Alpha. "Tell her."

The Alpha looked stuck as his eyes widened at the command, and I could see the beads of sweat on his head.

"Uhm, I uh..." He stammered, but his wife scoffed, clearly irritated at her husband's actions.

"You are not a member of this pack. You are a rogue, and you belong to your own pack. No one made you a citizen."

The words hit me like a punch to the gut. I felt the air leave my lungs, and my heart sank. The Alpha, who once showed a glimmer of sympathy, now revealed his true allegiance. I was an outsider, not a member of this pack.

"No," I whispered, the defiance in my voice waning. "This is my home. I've been here for months. I've contributed, I've—"

Luna interrupted with a cold laugh. "Contributed? You're nothing but a burden. We tolerated your presence because the Alpha thought it would be a good PR move to shelter a poor rogue. But now, we're done playing charity."

Tears welled up in my eyes as anger burnt through my chest, my lungs hurting with the lack of air as I struggled to breathe.

No! They couldn't just come here and destroy my life. Before they appeared here, everything was fine.

everything was perfect.

Ansel leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with malicious intent. "This isn't your pack, Valerie. Good thing we are taking you back to our pack, isn't it? We saved you just in time."

Blood rushed to my head as I gritted my teeth. The audacity of these Alphas was sickening. Did they really think I was just going to follow them? like a little slave?

"I'm not going anywhere with you, not over my dead body." I growled, but that did nothing. Instead, it made Their smirks grow wider.

Except Grey, who sighed loudly. "This is such a drag. You," He pointed to the guard on my right.

"Go get the old lady out."
