“You did not tell me you had a boyfriend, I think you should’ve, that way I get to avoid troubles.” Nathan smiled as he said behind Valerie.“What?” She asked turning to look at him in confusion after closing her locking, she lifted her brow in a bid to probe him to go further.“Your boyfriend?” Nathan tried to explain but only got a more confused look from Valerie, “Niko?” He asked, equally confused by her confused look, “the basketball player.” He finally said, dramatically throwing his hands up in the air and Valerie’s confusion immediately turned into anger, her face changed immediately.“He’s not my boyfriend.” She blurted out in anger as she turned back to face her locker and opening it to pick something from it, she locked it back and turned back to face Nathan now.“But, he just threatened me, telling me not to stare at you and that you were his girl.” Nathan explained his encounter with Niko in confusion.“He’s a psycho.” She snarled as she rolled her eyes in frustration, Nik
“Everyone’s talking about Camden’s party tonight.” Maeve whispered to her friends.“How did that much people got to know?” Valerie asked in a whisper, not knowing why she was whispering in the first place.“Charlotte is coming and so are the girls, they probably spread the news.” Maeve answered and waved at Camden as he walked into the hall.“Why the fuck is everyone talking about my party, I said as many as possible not the whole college.” He breathed, regretting his decision of throwing an all night party.“I didn’t know you were having a party.” Nathan said with a raised eyebrow as he walked in.“Great!” Camden rolled his eyes and they all proceeded to class.The day went by fast and soon they were all planning on when to get to Camden’s house for the party.“I honestly have no idea how I’m going to handle this much people.” Camden sighed, “now, I’m regretting throwing this party when it hasn’t even happened yet, is it possible to tell the school its been cancelled?” He asked.“It’
Valerie looked confused as the stare she got from everyone at school grew intense, ignoring them she quickly made her way to their spot and there she sighted Maeve, Nathan and Camden, they rushed over to her when they saw her, they all look concerned, worried, she knew something had happened and she was about to find out what it was.“Are you Okay?” Camden asked immediately they got to her with Maeve holding her, she looked at them all, surprised. First it was the whole school staring her down now it’s her own friends giving her a special treatment.“My head hurts a little but I’m good,” She answered as she looked at her friends look at her with worry, “what happened last night?” She asked, “Adira told me you brought me home...” she continued as Diana and her friends laughed as they walked past her, “and what the hell is going on?” She added and almost immediately her phone dinged.She opened the message to see disgusting pictures of herself with the guy that had brought her the drink
“What?” Maeve slammed shut her locker in shock, not sure she’d heard Camden right, “come again, I think there must’ve been something wrong with my ears.” She added and Camden groaned.“Dude, I’m serious, I do like, like Valerie and I’ve been trying to tell her but with all these shits going on these days I can barely even say a word without her getting mad at me.” Camden replied and Maeve bursted into an uncontrollable laughter.“Since when has these feelings of yours been keeping you up at night?” She asked and when Camden shot her a serious stare she coughed, “you’re really serious?” She asked again and he nodded.“Why else do you think I’m telling it to you?” He answered.“I don’t know,” Maeve answered, shrugging, “you probably just think she’s badass and you love her because she deals with the devils bravely, I don’t know, I really have no idea.” She added.“What do I do?” He asked in confusion.“Tell her” she answered and Camden’s eyes widen.“Tell her what?” He asked.“What you
“You’re sleeping? Did you forget about shopping?” Maeve’s voice came like a thunder across the phone, “we’ve been waiting for you in hopes that you’ll be here soon and there you are sleeping out date away?” She hollered in a mocking scolding tone. “I’m sorry, I slept off,” Valerie apologized as she rushed out of bed to get ready for her date with her friends, she had no idea why she’d agreed to go with them considering the things she had to do at home, the meetings she needed to attend with Adira, “I’ll meet you guys soon.” She added as she got up to walk to the bathroom, the cold water stung her skin as she got in and she wheezed in slight uncomfortableness, she eventually got in and after a while in the bath, her body relaxed a bit as she closed her eyes and threw her head back to enjoy the water. She prepared to go meet her friends while the thoughts of her dream filled her mind, the dream no doubt meant there was trouble, she’d done some displeasing thing by getting revenge on Ni
Valerie watched as the priest made his way out of her building, confused, she looked to see Adira also looking confused.“Did you think I should have left them?” She asked Adira, jolting her out of her thought as she looked up at Valerie.“I told you you did the right thing, didn’t I? They all deserved it for what they did and now I don’t even know anymore.” Adira answered in confusion.“I’m going to be punished. I have no idea what punishment the goddess has in store for me.” She said and just then she heard howling, Valerie walked out to see what was going on but her pack had been swamped and she couldn’t even see anything ahead of her until it got closer.“The goddess is really angry, we need to appease her.” The priest that had left earlier on, came back to say and immediately the Aletha pack sprung into action.Every member of the pack going hunting and bringing back their best game, the priest offered the sacrifices and appealed to the goddess as he was a means of communication
The world was completely still as Alexei opened his eye to the figure of this woman hovering right over his face. Nothing moved, not even the leaves outside quivered, but over the silence brooded a ghostly calm and the whisper of her sweet, fresh breath as it brushed on his face. Her hand was resting on his shoulder and he could take in every scent of her, she smelled like freshly plucked cherries and her brown eyes closed in shock as her eyelashes batted. He swallowed hard and could taste the bitter medicine behind his throat, he had no memory of when and where he had taken this medicine.He laid there motionless, he knew he should’ve said something and this situation was extremely awkward but words failed him, Alexei closed his eyes a little trying to remember what had happened before now, his head pounded as he tried to get the memories. ******It was dark, so dark that Alexei and his brother could see nothing but figures, they knew what they were getting into when they walke
Valerie’s words got caught in her throat for a while as she looked in the blue eyes of this mysterious man she’d brought home, his deep, husky voice sending chills down her spine and nothing seemed to matter to her as she was caught in his eyes already.“Hello?” He winced as he snapped his fingers, jolting her out of her thoughts and back to him.“What?” She said, cleaning the invisible drool that was already forming beside her lips and trying to compose herself and act normal.“Who are you?” He asked again and this time almost raising his voice at her, she saw the anger in his eye as he spoke and that made her equally angry. He should be grateful he was alive, he should be grateful she’d decided to help him out of the forest before the wild animals made a meal out of him.“You’re in my house.” She managed to say, pushing her anger aside and biting her tongue to refrain from saying the hurtful things that was already building up in her mind as she stared at him up and down.“Why am I
