LOGINClaven's POVThe morning sun broke through the curtains, reminding me that the world was still moving even if I didn't sleep at all. My mind wasn't quiet for a single second. Every thought twisted back to Valerie… or to the face I thought I saw yesterday the face of Tara.By the time Mia and I stepped out of our rooms, we froze at the sight waiting for us. Traven's packhouse wasn't just big. It was massive. The building rose like a palace made from marble and silverstone. The morning light made the walls glow. Tall pillars lined the courtyard, and each one had symbols of strength carved into it, symbols even I didn't recognize.Mia slowly turned in circles, her mouth open. She looked like she had stepped into a dream. Honestly, I felt almost the same. I had never seen a packhouse like this, and by the way Mia stared, neither had she. “It's beautifu
Claven's POVThe forest road stretched endlessly before me, swallowed by mist and moonlight. I drove in silence, hands tight on the steering wheel, every muscle alert. Behind me, warriors rode in the convoy, engines rumbling like restless beasts. Mia sat beside me with her legs tucked under her and her jacket raped over her for warmth, though what chilled her wasn’t the cold, it was my mood.We had been on the road for four hours. Four hours good hours since Traven sent the brief, clipped message: “I found Xandia.” Four hours since my phone calls to my stepbrother began going unanswered. But four hours wasn’t the problem. The problem was why Traven wasn’t picking up. My jaw flexed, brows knitted. “He knows we’re coming,” I muttered under my breath.“Maybe he’s busy?” Mia suggested softly.“Busy enough to ignore ten calls?” I snapped, then
Claven. “Get ready,I'll take you to the Alpha's King pack myself”. I told Mia, storming out of the ward. “Sl…..get one of the cars ready” .I mindlinked my warrior because they came with three cars, Traven's Pack is very far from the night blaze pack.“Yes boss. We'll be in front of the emergency hospital in minutes”. I dialed Traven's number,but he wasn't picking up. I scrunched my nose in disgust and called his number over and over again.That bastard! Always acting like he's all that. I called him for an uncountable amount of time,and he picked up a cough. “I'm making love with my mate,Man you should at least get yours and let me enjoy mine without being disturbed!” “Yes…baby…..harder….. please……”. I heard Naya's voice from the background,I scoffed and exhaled deeply.“ Where did you find Valerie?.”. “Ohh ..my beta messaged you?.
Claven.I held onto Traven’s investigation about Valerie's disappearance. It happened yesterday but it was as if it happened just now….I stayed awake all through the night thinking of where Valerie would be,if she had disappeared willingly,she would have dropped a letter. My phone rang as I was pacing my cabin restlessly. Father?. When did father develop the habit of calling one on the phone?“Hey man”. He said from his end,evident joy laced his voice. “What is it, father?”. I asked,my voice devoid of emotions. “I want to see you in the pack. You didn't call to tell me your mate was missing. When did that happen and why did you decide to keep calm about it.i called you in the phone so you won't be tired of explanation”. “Yesterday..I didn't want to disturb you. I'll handle things in my own way”. I sat on one of the couches,my mind racing at where Valerie could be.
Valerie. The devil and I had been sitting at the back without saying any word to each other. Other. My blood was boiling in anxiety when I felt his burning gaze on me. “What does your mate look like?”. He asked,not sparing me a glance. “He's the most handsome man I had ever seen”. I replied, looking through the window. “Please ... .can you just let me go. I'm not fit to be your Luna or mistress….. please….”. Tears swelled in my eyes as I pleaded the DEVIL desperately. That was the name he told me he bears,and it's better for him cos the name suits his appearance. “He must be lucky to have you….. Do you think he'll come looking for you?”. “I told him not to. If I may ask,how long have we been on the road?. I have no wristwatch with me to know what the time says and…..why didn't you drug me to sleep?. Aren't you scared of me describing the road that leads to your pack to someone el
Claven. “Alpha…..”. I called,when I saw him run out of his chambers, alongside Elena and gamma Francis. “Claven!. Do you know the damage you just caused?”. Elena yelled, looking at her father for approval before stepping forward. “You just killed a guard. Is this how you go around killing people like they're nothing?”. She queried, folding her hands on her chest. “Alpha…. where's Valerie? I was told she was driven……external guards picked her up. What was her crime? Stealing the crystal?”. My voice was shaky,but I tried to make it firm and devoid of anxiety..“Who came to the pack to take her?. Are you not following……”“Valerie would be the last person to do that”. I like the gamma,who gradually hides behind the alpha. “Gamma Francis….you should know Valerie's whereabouts. You're in charge of anyone that comes and goes out of the pack,who snuck into the pack and took Valerie!!!!”. I scr
Chapter 14Valerie. “Don't tell me you're out of your senses because that's the least I would take from you!”. The alpha barked,as he stepped down from his throne. His Luna followed suit. “I love Claven;”. Xandia words kept on playing in my head continuously.
Valerie. My blaring alarm woke me up from my deep slumber ,I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palms as I stumbled on my feet. My reddish eyes travelled to the wall clock and I realized it had just clocked 5:30 AM. I still have thirty minutes to get ready for today'
Valerie’s POV Letting Xandia into his house roused a lot of uncertainties already. Then him blocking us on our way out, gave me all the shrills. He stared at us coldly without saying a word. His face expressionless so much that I couldn’t read a thing. “Hi?” I smiled wryly. Xandia staring a
Valerie. “Three months. That would depend on your daughter's ability because I wouldn't like to waste my time on one person who might find it hard to learn”. Claven spat scornfully,I began to wonder if he had issues with Xandia. “That was harsh,you should talk to the
