The Enemy's Deal: It's More Than Just a Contract

Valerie was still sleeping when a stone hit her window, and she had to wake up. She knew it was her best friend Elora. They would be going out soon, and she must have come to remind her of that."Valerie!" Elora called out to her through the window. "Are you awake yet? It's almost time to leave."Valerie popped her head out of the window. "I will be out in a few minutes. Or do you want to come in and wait?"Elora shook her head slightly. "I still have to go back and do some touches to my makeup. See you in an hour."Elora left and Valerie went on to get ready. They would be going to the club outside the pack to have some fun; that had been the only thing that made Valerie happy in the Pack.She stared at the clock and it was past eleven. Since they would be leaving by twelve, and she was done getting ready, she decided to sit by the window and stare at the beautiful dark sky. "One... Two ... Three..." Valerie counted the stars.She heard a knock on the door and quickly lay on the bed

It was finally the day for Elora to leave the Moonlight Pack, but Valerie could not bring herself to see her off, so she stayed indoors.She watched through the window to see when Elora would walk past; thank goodness her window leads to the main gate.Valerie thought about the last two days they had spent together; they were almost inseparable.They had spent time visiting places they had always enjoyed going in the Moonlight Pack and making snacks they enjoyed together.They even sat under the oak tree where they sit every full moon to reminisce about memories they had once shared.The thought of Elora leaving weighed heavily on Valerie, and even though Elora had assured her she would return as soon as possible to see her, Valerie could not help but feel sad.What would her life without Elora be like?Valerie kept staring at the window and wondering if Elora had changed her mind about leaving; it was past noon and there wasn't any sign. She heard a knock on the door which made her

With no word from Elora and no one to talk to, Valerie became very bored and tired of her usual daily routine: wake up, eat, paint, read a book, sleep, go for personal training, eat, and go back to sleep again.She decided that she was going to go out again and have some fun; it was better than repeating the same routine.First, she called their driver to confirm if he would be available to pick her up. He was happy to hear from her again and promised to pick her up at the usual time.Next, Valerie picked out the clothes and shoes she would be wearing. She had them arranged on the couch and then went on to take her bath. She got dressed in her pyjamas and sat on the bed to read a book.It was just a few minutes past eight; with about four hours left before she leaves. Valerie got bored reading and decided to sleep for a few hours. She made sure to set her alarm for ten, or she might not make it in time; Elora had always been her alarm clock.By 10, Valerie was up. She began to get rea

Valerie could not stop thinking about the Beta's words.Why were they attacked in the first place? Who attacked them?These are the questions she needed answers to, but there wasn't anyone to answer them.The Beta had returned to her father's room after giving her the information. She also returned to her room to change her clothes.Valerie sat on the bed thinking of what to do next, and how they could prevent the next attack.First, she needs to know who had attacked them and what they wanted. Second, she needs to know how many people were injured and how many were not; this could help her to know if they could fight back or not.The first attack took them unaware; Valerie was certain that it was the reason they failed. And if they could prepare before the next attack they would certainly win.Valerie got up, took a quick shower; she still reeked of alcohol. She got dressed in a shirt and trousers and headed to her father's room.She wasn't stopped this time. She entered the room to

Just like Valerie's cousin, Alpha Jason had promised, her father was sent to the Starlight Pack for treatment. Valerie felt relieved knowing that her father would receive the best care. Her father wasn't the only one sent for treatment. A few other Pack members who were injured were sent too. With her father out of the picture, Valerie decided it was time to seek help from the other Packs. She went into her father's library to get all possible information.After so many hours of going through books, magazines, and newspapers, Valerie left the library with a list of Packs she would visit.Valerie did not waste time in setting out on her journey, starting with the Packs closer by. She went from one Pack to another, with none willing to help. While some sent her away without asking what help she needed, others who let her speak turned her down when she mentioned the Blackcrown Pack."Leave, you can't get us into trouble," some replied."You should accept your fate," some said."We wish
