Chapter 53
Maybe daring the Alpha’s to challenge me isn’t a great first impression as Queen. 'It’s improper,' Elias would say.
Nevertheless, there is nothing I can say that will make them accept me. All I can do is show these men I’m a capable Queen.
However, maybe taking the barrier, containing my scent, down wasn’t a good idea. Still, I am a Carson, that will never change. If I can’t accept my parents for what they were, then I’ll never move forward - and I want to.
Every wolf in the room tenses, their nails peel away, and their claws make an appearance. They were about to shift. I can sense their strong desire to submit, but a low soothing tone escapes my lips. It reminds me of Elias. I had no control of myself, &l

Valerie Chapter 54
A deep, shaky breath stutters past my lips. My heart pounds a million miles a minute, and a rush of overwhelming emotions clench tightly in my chest.“Are you okay?” Theia whispers, her fingers clenching her nose shut to block out the scent of desiccation and blood.Nevertheless, she doesn’t move as she continues to stand beside me to hold my hand. I fix my gaze onto her soft hazel ones. The innocence and kindness in her eyes instantly calm me.“Yeah… I-I’m just scared,” I whisper. Theia smiles, her hold on my hand tightening. Her eyes flicker to the steel doors, tilting her head the slightest, confused.“What is this place?” She wonders, her eyes burning into the side of my face.“The place Valak kept me,” I don’t know why I wanted to come here. There’s just something here I wanted to face before facing Freya.We’ve been standing here for three hours. T
Valerie Chapter 55
Two days pass in a breeze. Everyone seems to sit a reasonable distance from me – even Elias.I don’t blame them. My mood swings are worse than a hormonal pregnant woman. One second I’m calm, and the next, I’m trying to rip an Omega’s throat for being clumsy.If it weren’t for Elias, I’d have ripped her throat out.The poor woman was terrified. Theia was the most shocked. She has never seen such a violent side of me, especially towards innocents. Still, they managed to calm me down.Elias says it’s the distance between Jaxson and me. I can’t help but disagree. Though these past few days without him felt incomplete and lonely, there’s something
Valerie Chapter 56
“Are you avoiding me again?” I murmur.Jaxson freezes, his back turned to me as he attempts to disappear within the shadows of the forest.An entire day has passed, we separated the creatures into four factions. No one knows anything yet, and I can see it’s un-nerving many. Charming had yet to make an appearance. And Sophia is deciding on the best approach to handle revealing sensitive information.“You should rest. It’s been a long day,” I feel tempted to turn around and stare at the large house, but I know the second I do, Jaxson will be gone.Instead, I take a step forward. “You know, I felt you holding me. I felt your concern. Your fear. Your pain. I felt

“He’s your brother?” Sophia asks. I thought Iliana didn’t allow them to have bonds? Emree shakes her head, a soft – yet sad – smile displayed on her lips.“Not by blood. We were the only ones of our kind, so we were trained at the same facility. They taught us never to love – to care. We hid our sibling-like bond behind cruel words and empty threats to deceive our leader. It worked-… for a short time,” Emree explains, sadly.Iliana’s chair scrapes against the floor, maybe shocked they tricked her or angry she didn’t figure it out, “I order you to shut up! Leave,” Iliana hisses. I’m slightly shocked Emree listened without argument.As a Nymph, she’s can easily dominate

His blood stains my silvery-white dress red as I – Nia - takes his neck and tares our fangs into his throat, eating away like we’ve been starving.But the moment we take our first bite, we’re ripped away. Nia fights, growling like a feral, untamed animal. Her claws dig into the two large arms holding her back from her food, “what happening?!” Grayson snaps.Our eyes clash with his shocked ones, my jaws snapping open and shut trying to rip his throat out. I can see his veins pulsing with blood and life. I want it - need it. “Arghh…” growls, and drool and blood left my lips.Nia! Stop. Get back! Getaway!I scream, trying to dominate her, as I did once before. Bu
Valerie Chapter 59
They stop and stare, Freya no longer present.Before anyone can say anything, we run. We bolt through the wall and land in the garden, and we don't stop. We continue to run, to hide, to escape.We're monsters!I've always killed in self-defence, and I had no problem doing it too. It weighed little on my conscience. Before I met Jaxson, there wasn't a day I had not killed. Every day was the same unending cycle of violence and bloodshed.To survive, I became no different to them. Maybe that's why I hated being considered 'different.'In the end, Kyro was right, 'to grow up around monsters - it's only right
Valerie Chapter 60
Jaxson flickers his gaze to my shocked ones. The sky still rains with blood, but as his cold, pale eyes peer into mine - none of it matters.In a flash, my back clashes with the mountain and Jaxson's steel chest presses against my naked one. A surprised gasp tumbles from my lips, his large hands curling into my hair, so I'm staring up at him.A shot of my arousal seeps into the air, and I can see Jaxson's nose flare. He eats even more of the distance between us until not even a breath of space sits between us."J-Jaxson-..." I stutter. I wanted to push him away - this isn't the time nor place. But right now, I can't do anything but want to lean in a little more and seal our lips - but I can't.
Valerie Chapter 61
The days blur. Everyone is on edge now that Freya's presence looms over us all.Many fights have broken, but thankfully, the leaders seem to be understanding it's all or nothing now.Over the days, the two suns have grown closer. Now they seem to be melting, producing an unnoticeable lime glow. I can also see the soft silhouette of Earths moon.Right now, it looks breathtaking. And while I want to sit here and count the days for the three kings to share the sky, I dread the destruction that is to follow.Over the past few days, I've stuck with the wolves avoiding the Qusayr at any opportunity - especially Jaxson. I always knew he was hiding a daunting past. I just always imagin
