Valerie returned to her room and sat down on her bed. She dropped her bag on the bed and began to look around. She missed her room but she seems to miss Leonard's mansion more.

Maybe that was because she could be herself there without anyone pointing fingers at her for being cursed.

Yes, she was accused of seducing their Alpha but it was better than being considered a curse and being treated differently in a place that was supposed to be called home.

Valerie took a deep breath. Wi

    "I think he is really looking out for you," Elora added.Valerie sighed. She doesn't even understand him. One minute he cares and the next minute he doesn't."Are you there?" Elora asked."I am. Did you say anything?""No, I did not. You weren't quiet.""I was just wondering why he acts so strangely at times. It doesn't matter though. I can't wait to see you.""I can't wait to see you too, Val," Elora answered. "I've missed you so much.""I missed you too. I..." Valerie yawned. "I am so stressed out.""You should go to sleep. I will see you tomorrow.""Good night, Elora.""Good night Val."The call ended and Valerie went to sleep.**Valerie opened her eyes; it was morning already. She sat up, stretching. Elora will be coming today and she really can't wait to see her.Valerie quickly took her bath, changed into something comfortable, and went downstairs for breakfast."You look very happy today," Ariel said."My best friend is coming over," Valerie answered. She sat down. "Leonard as

    "The wedding," Leonard answered. "How do you want the wedding to be like?""I don't think it's in my place to say that," Valerie answered. "Just do your thing and I will be present that day as the bride like I was today at the meeting.""Are you angry?" Leonard asked."I am not," Valerie answered. "Do I even have the right to be?" She mumbled. "I can tell you are.""Like it matters," she mumbled again. "If you don't have anything else to say, I might have to tell you to leave. I need to sleep."Leonard did not say anything. He stood up and walked to the door."I will see you tomorrow when you are no longer angry and ready to listen."Valerie ignored him and he had to leave. After he left, she stood up and locked the door behind him.Why does her opinion suddenly matter? Did he not treat her like it didn't at the meeting a while ago?"He's so unpredictable."Valerie walked to her bed and was about to sit when she heard a knock on the door. She groaned. "Leonard if that is you, I..."

    Arden announced to the elders that they were leaving and might be back. But if they do not return, they should go on and have fun.Valerie, Arden, and Ariel left the conference hall together and went down the hallway. After walking past the first three rooms, they stopped. Arden knocked at the door and waited. Arden knocked again when there was no reply. "Come in," they heard the Alpha's voice.Arden opened the door and they walked in. The room wasn't a conference hall but it was big. Inside the room were five men aside from Leonard; around their fifties and sixties.Valerie felt the atmosphere was different; calm, sophisticated, and powerful.In front of the men was the Alpha. They were all staring at them. Ariel and Valerie followed Arden to sit down. Valerie sat down beside Leonard and Ariel sat beside Arden. The room was quiet; so quiet that it made Valerie feel awkward.Valerie moved slightly toward Ariel who was close to her."How long...""Shh..." Ariel whispered.Valerie move

    The drive to wherever they were going was a silent one; none of them said anything to each other. The car finally stopped, and they got out. Everywhere was dark now with only the street light illuminating.Leonard moved closer to Valerie and held her by the waist, pulling her closer to him. "We need to convince them," he mumbled.Valerie frowned. Shouldn't he have held her hand instead?She said nothing to him; she did not nod either. She just followed Leonard's lead into the building. They went through the elevator and were soon in a hallway that looked like an endless tunnel.Valerie felt a shiver run down her spine. They walked down the hallway and the more they walked the more worried and scared Valerie felt. The hallway felt hotter also.Finally, they stopped in front of a room, Valerie predicted to be an office or a hall. Her prediction did not work this time; because it wasn't an office or a hall but another elevator.Why walk this long only to be in another elevator? Why can'

    Valerie nodded. "He did. That's one of the reasons he asked me to meet you... I still have some questions though. Can I ask them?" Ariel nodded. "Sure, you can." "Aren't you scared of Leonard?" "I am not. Why should I fear that troublemaker?" Valerie blinked. Ariel really isn't scared of Leonard. "But you looked scared when talking about him a while ago." Ariel smiled. "That was an act. I was a maid. I needed to act like one." Valerie nodded. She gets that. "What other questions do you have?" "Now that you are Leonard's cousin, can you tell me about him?" Valerie asked. "Is he ruthless? I asked him and he said yes." Ariel sighed. "That's because he wasn't lying about it. Don't get me wrong, Leonard is a very nice person, friendly and all that. But..." She looked at Valerie. "When he gets angry, he can be ruthless." Valerie's heart skipped a beat. If Ariel his cousin can say this about him, then he is ruthless. "But he loves..." Ariel's phone began to ring. It was Arden cal

    "I guess that. They are in the northern hemisphere here so those from the southern hemisphere don't know them," he said. "The Shadow Pack is known to be warriors just like the mountain Park. They..." "You know the Mountain Pack?" Valerie asked. He smiled. "Yes, I do. Am I not supposed to know them?" Valerie shook her head. "I do not mean that. I am just surprised. Since your Pack doesn't get involved with other Packs I do not expect that you will know them." He smiled again. "That I do not get involved with other Packs doesn't mean I don't know them." "That is still surprising. Why don't you get involved with..." He frowned. "Do you want to know about the Shadow Pack or do you want me to send you out?" He wants to send her out? Valerie scoffed. "Fine, tell me about the Shadow Pack." "As I said, they are the same as the Mountain Pack but the difference is that the Shadow Pack has sharper eyes an

    "The body of water wasn't always that big," Ariel continued. "I heard it was small at first but the body of water kept growing and soon it became a sea. I heard there was something the Waterfall ancestors did but I don't know what it was."Valerie nodded. She wasn't expecting Ariel to know.

    Valerie was very happy she was able to go out. "How did you convince Arden?" She asked Ariel, as they walked down the lonely path."I did not convince him," Ariel answered. "I just spoke to him about it and he said yes. He must know how bored you are."Valerie nodded. Arden seems to

    Valerie opened her eyes; it was morning already. She stood up to take her bath and then went to the dining room to have breakfast; she had told Ariel she would be having breakfast every day in the dining room and not in her room anymore."Good morning, Luna," Two maids, setting the table,

    Valerie smiled. "Yes, it is. I was happy when I saw him sit up yesterday. His injuries have almost healed up.""I am so happy, Val," Elora said.Valerie nodded. She is too.They went on to talk about other things; Ariel left when their conversation became intense. Valerie tol
