Panting and shaking, Valerie sought refuge in an abandoned hut, she was running for her life and that was as far as her legs could carry her with her broken power and hurt soul. She knew she had not much time left and soon, they might find her in there as it wasn’t safe enough.She tried to listen carefully in the dark, she might have lost her powers but she still had her werewolf senses and she could still smell and hear from a distant.“Where did she run off to?” She heard a male voice she recognized ask, he was the one who had captured her but she couldn’t make out his face, it was kind of blurry and she had no reason why her vision was like that.“I saw her run in here.” Another replied and she heard their footsteps as they walked in the small hut, she tried to stop her heart beat and herself from breathing as that could get her captured again. The footsteps were getting louder and she knew they were getting closer to where she was, the floor made a loud creak, it was made of woo

“So you agreed to be his girlfriend?” Maeve asked as she pulled Valerie’s hand and stopped her from going any further, “You’re now Alexei Perez’s girlfriend?” She added again, her eyes almost falling out of her skull.“I have no idea why, I don’t know, did I do the right thing?” Valerie answered in confusion, she’s been in battle with herself, unable to think and confused if she did the right thing by allowing Alexei into her life, she needed a change and Alexei seemed to be the only one who really cared, except her friends of course. She loved who she was with Alexei and she knew nothing could ever come close to that.“No, no, you did the right thing. Long as you’re happy.” Maeve assured and she sighed, she hope she did the right thing.She was the happiest with Alexei.“How’s Camden?” She asked as they both made their way into the college building and then to the class.“Well, he hasn’t spoken to me too, I guess he’s still in pain, one you put him in,” Maeve answered as she rolled h

Valerie let him hold on to her without moving for what seemed like minutes, he was in pain and if just her being around would make him feel better then she wouldn’t do anything to stop that. He calmed down and the anger that once surged in his body was replaced with love, he loved being in her arms.Alexei had always ignored the other gender or even treated them not as someone who’s worth his time or worth having him, he would occasionally just get them to bed and when he was done, he dismiss them. The one who’d understand got to know it was always a one time thing and their attention would not be needed after that but the unfortunate ones always somehow ended up falling in love with him.He had a high sex appeal and was also handsome to the core, Alexei took advantages of all that and every now and then would end up breaking a girl’s heart, but it was different with Valerie, he wanted Valerie and not just to warm his bed. She was different from every other girl he’d been with and for

The sound of plates clattering and of the door opening woke Valerie from her deep sleep, she opened her eyes to an already set table in the bedroom, surprised she was getting such treatment outside her house as that was the only time she was treated like a true queen.She looked to see Alexei sweating as he got the table ready and she let out a slight snicker when he struggled with arranging the plates in the right order.“You’re awake?” He asked as he walked to her and planted a kiss on her forehead while she closed her eyes with a smile.“Yes, I am. What do we have here?” She replied as she got out of bed, wrapping the duvet around her body because she was naked underneath it.“I wanted a nice alone time for the both of us, but, apparently the dishes disagrees.” He sighed as he walked back to the table, pulled off his apron and revealing his bare chest, Valerie swallowed as she saw the sweat drip down his body.“Ahem,” he cleared his throat as he pulled out the chair for her to seat

What was happening?Why was he there?Why was he wearing a hood? Why was he standing over her? His shadow hovering over her and he refused to say another word.Why did he glare at her so viciously?Valerie could only stare at the figure in front of her, she could smell him so she knew he was not human, he was a wolf and also a strong one. She could see his red eyes staring at her and almost cutting through her like a dagger.He soon turned towards her and she was shook at who she saw, what was he doing here? She asked herself again.“Kai?” She called and before she could speak any further, he dashed towards her with full force, knocking her off her feet as she hit the huge tree behind her.“Valerie, baby?” Alexei called with concern, he was worried and scared, he’d watched as she struggled to breath in her sleep and every effort he put into waking her up yielded no result until now.“Alexei?” She called as she flicked her eyes open and he got closer to her, placing his hand on her fo
