The Enemy's Deal: It's More Than Just a Contract Chapter 52
As Valeriie returned to the Alpha's mansion, she felt bad not telling Diana about her marriage to Leonard. She just wanted Diana to feel comfortable around her. Valerie got to the mansion, only to see that the gate was already clocked. She decided to go through the back door but soon found out there was no way to get there.Valerie realised if she had followed the back door when she first came out, she wouldn't have gotten to the maids' quarters.She returned to the main gate and quickly placed a call to Arden to tell him the situation."I will call them to open the door," he told her.Valerie felt that would only arouse their suspicion of who she was, so she proposed a solution."How about I stay with Ariel?""You...""That's a good idea," Valerie heard Ariel's voice beneath. "I am coming over to pick you.""You promised to spend time with me today," Arden answered. "You can't...""I know I promised you, but I can't leave Val all by herself. I promised Elora to take care of her," Ar

That was not all. There was also a sink for washing hands, a couch, and a television.Valerie sat on the couch and put on the television, while she waited. Some minutes later, she had a knock on the door."Who is that?" She asked.The maid introduced herself as the one in charge of her food."You can come in," Valerie answered.The door opened and she entered. She set up the table and Valerie headed to the dining table to eat. The maid did not leave until Valerie was done eating.She cleared the table and left. Valerie was too tired to leave the dining room. Instead, she lay on the couch and was soon fast asleep.When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the bed. Valerie remembered that she had fallen asleep on the couch in the dining room, and not on the bed in her room.Did Leonard bring her here? She wondered. Did he not say he would be busy for a while?Valerie decided not to think about it, since she was sure it wouldn't be a guard who brought her back.She looked through

Valerie's bags were brought in a few minutes later by some men and Arden. Valerie could feel the same strange aura around them.They must be the only ones Leonard trusts. She thought. Or maybe the strange aura was to differentiate the Alpha's men from others.She shook her head. Whatever it is, it is not her business. She needs to spend one year here and leave."Congratulations on your wedding, Valerie," Arden said, after the guards left. "Wishing that you are blessed with sons and daughters next year."Valerie stared at him. What sort of a wish is that? This is not even a real wedding.Ariel nudged him and he chuckled."I was just joking," he mumbled. "But I do hope and wish that you enjoy your stay here, so that you won't have to leave."Valerie sighed. Even if she ends up wanting to stay, she can't. She already signed a contract.Silence invaded the room, as if they were all lost in their separate thoughts. Ariel wasn't comfortable with it so she spoke up. "Valerie, did you not sa

Leonard moved away, and everyone clapped, smiling happily, while Valerie remained in a daze; the kiss caught her by surprise.The rest of the ceremony was short and when it was announced that it was over, Valerie took a deep breath.Finally!!!Arden went on to announce her as the Pack's new Luna. A lot of people came to congratulate them, giving her a lot of gifts."They are trying to win you over," he whispered to her.Valerie wondered why they would want to win her over.She isn't even his real wife."Be ready to receive more," he added.Valerie scoffed slightly. She doesn't even care about the gifts. He can keep them for his future Luna."When is this ending?" She asked instead. "I mean everything.""Not any time soon," Leonard answered. "You haven't met with the people yet, have you?"Valerie groaned. She thought that after this, she could return home. She feels so tired."Ariel will be here to take you to change," he said. "I am leaving. See you tonight."Valerie blinked. Why doe

Elora came out of the bathroom feeling better. She had taken her bath already."You should go take your bath too, Ariel," she said.Ariel left them and went to the bathroom. Elora went on to get ready while Valerie just stared into space. She had a lot going on in her mind.She was finally getting married and a lot of people would finally know what she looks like.What will her life after the wedding be like? How would the Fire Pack members accept her? How will Leonard treat her when the contract finally starts? A hand tapped her. It was Elora. She waved her hand across Valerie's face."Hello? Valerie?"Valerie blinked. "W-what happened?""You were lost in thought. Are you okay?""I am fine," Valerie answered. "You've dressed up already."Elora nodded, turning around. "What do you think?""It looks perfect on you," Valerie answered. "How about we take a picture together? We can take another one when Ariel is done getting ready."Elora nodded and Valerie stood up. They took a few pict

As the night drew closer, Valerie began to feel anxious. Tomorrow, she will be getting married to Leonard.With reality setting in, Valerie's heart skipped a bit at the thought of it. She kept staring at the wall clock; a clock that seemed not to be moving.Just yesterday, she had her last fitting. Her shoes and accessories were also brought in. She had worn them, and stood in front of the mirror, admiring how beautiful they were on her."She was ready," she had told herself.But now, she realized she had never been ready and had just been going with the flow. Valerie wished she could change her mind or maybe move the wedding forward a bit; maybe a week or two."Do you think we can move the wedding a bit?" She asked Elora and Ariel. "I don't feel ready."Elora told her she may never feel ready even if the wedding was shifted."Elora is right," Ariel said. "Just get it done once."Valerie could not agree less, she needs to get it done once and for all. But that doesn't stop the fear sh

The drive to the ship harbor was surprisingly a short one. Byran said nothing to Valerie during the trip; he only stole glances at her, which she knew but said nothing about. The car finally stopped and Valerie breathed a sigh of relief; there had been an awkward silence between them.She ste

Arden went into the house and Leonard returned to his own mansion. On his way, he could not help but think about what had happened to warrant a sudden meeting.It's been two months since he last visited them. He had only spoken to a few people on the phone to check on their activities and eve

"She isn't even saying anything," one of the maids snapped. "She must be guilty.""She is not," Diana insisted."Why are you even supporting her, Diana?" Bella asked A heated argument ensued between Diana and the other maids as Diana tried to defend Valerie and herself."Enough!!!" Valerie yelled.

Diana took Valerie to the maids' quarters and gave her clothes to change into."You can take your bath over there." She pointed. "And rest here when you are done eating." Valerie nodded. "I will drop your food on the table before you are done taking your bath. And I will be back by evening to take
