VALKYRIE'Hey, are we sure about this?' Vance asked through our mind link. Peeking through the rear-view mirror, I stared at Iris briefly who was sitting between Cayde and Gwen in the back seat. Unfortunately, Oliver wanted Esther in the territory to supervise the guard duties so she didn't come with us.'No, absolutely not. We just met her yesterday but this is the only leads we have,' I responded, shifting my gaze back to my brother. He quickly swerved his Jeep into a shortcut, avoiding the main road. The pack made this path all over the town for this purpose anyway.Vance gripped his wheel hard. 'I hope this is not an ambush or——'"I know what you guys are thinking even if you won't say it out loud," Iris suddenly interrupted, her eyes locked on mine through the rear-view mirror this time. "I'm not going to convince you otherwise though. Just listen to your gut.... or whatever."I narrowed my eyes at her, scrutinizing the tedious expression on her face. Among all the Wolf Grave I'd

SAGEThe fervor scorching to my soul never faltered since it began to consume all my thoughts, burning me from within. Its heat crawled to my skin, eating my flesh into nothing and crushed all what was left of me. As I continue to scream in tremendous pain, my teary gaze moved towards the cause of my suffering.My hand tried to reach out for them yet they were too far away. Sarah glanced at me first before she joined her underlings, going for the approaching battle. I blinked my eyes to the wicked witch who was standing over Dimitri with a sharp dagger in her hand. She began to shout ancient words as her voice echoed all over the place like a hang drum playing with stone.'Embrace me,' a familiar voice materialized along the swelling ache in my mind. But I couldn't even respond, troubled by the desire of wanting to save Dimitri and Primrose from their deathbed.The wind howled and the torches sung with it as the fire within me seemed to want to burst out. All I wanted was for this to

VALKYRIEIt was lost that creates rage, the hot sweltering anger that seeks harm to those who's accountable. Such inferno spreading all over your existence could never be put into words—— hard to be tamed. There was my mind, unleashed out of control, not heeding the consequences after. I stood on my feet, an intense sensation within. I stared at the monster in front of me with so much hatred. I wanted her to perish into nothing. I wanted her death to be tragic.Power—— the one I needed to fulfill my vengeance. Clenching my fist, I roared, letting the grief consume me. My skin fired up while my flesh tightened, longing to rip her apart. Somehow, my own misery urged a hidden force within me as I sprinted to Dana. So fast she wasn't able to avoid my claws slashing her body. I took advantage of this adrenaline rush, not giving her a chance to even breathe. Once she stumbled back, I raised my fist and slammed her face down with a solid blow. She recoiled against the ground, creating cracks

VALKYRIE"And you're sure that she's not making it all up?" Esther questioned warily.All of the people in the meeting room turned their heads to me. I darted my gaze to each one of them, pondering if I really should believe Sarah, especially when she said that my grandfather was the one who ordered the execution of Aunt Aria for murdering Landon. Zymir had been refusing to talk to us at all. He was a prick stubborn man who doesn't even care about anything. Now I knew why those three didn't hesitate to reveal their own Alpha because Zymir was truly selfish. His hatred already consumed his completely."Whether she's telling the truth or not, she will never get away from the trial next week," Oscar was the one who responded to his daughter's question. "Our people will surely sentence her to death for what she had done to our Alpha. Do you really think her tragic past would be able to cover that up?"I sighed, clearly exhausted. Mom wasn't able to join us for a meantime as she was still

VALKYRIEAfter my confrontation with my grandfather, I'd decided to call for help as I was already desperate. Fùck Ingrid's vision! The time was ticking already and my mate would surely die of starvation if I didn't do anything. Standing in the front of the metal door, I raised my hand and touched it with my palm. I could hear her monstrous breath, her intimidating presence inside. She must feel weak as of now for not eating anything yet for an elongated time.I knew that Sage could sense me. She was just lost in the depths of the unknown. This connection we had was my best shot of saving her. Unlike before when she was still human, she wasn't able to connect with me at all. But now that she was in this form, there might be a possibility that she could feel the rhythm of my heart. Although not bonded yet, there was still this spark between us."Sage, will you hear a story?" I murmured, a small smile etched on my lips. Silence spoke back to me but nonetheless, I paced forward and reste
