VALERIE "Huh?" I gasped, my heart constricting. His frown deepened and from the corner of my eyes, I watched his fist clench. "What are drops of blood doing on your chin?" He snapped, almost making me jump. I raised my hand to my face and grazed my fingertips over my chin which seemed to be swollen. The moment I touched it, the memory of the Luna Queen sinking her nails into my chin flashed before my eyes. I gulped hard and avoided his questioning gaze, finding it difficult to tell him that it was done by his mother. "You won't answer?" He groused, huffing loudly in anger. I surreptitiously glanced at Victoria, still confused about the situation. Shouldn't he be telling the entire Pack about my betrayal and lies? Why does he care so much about the bruise on my chin? "It's that witch, Renee, isn't it?" He spat. My throat knotted when he referred to her as a witch, making me wonder if he knew about the secret she was hiding from the world. If he knew about it, she wouldn't st

VALERIE The knock on the door sounded soft and almost silent. I jolted up from the bed and brushed my hair back, before getting out of the bed. I shuffled to the door and with a heavy heart, I pulled it open. Jasmine raised her head and tugged on the hat on her head before sliding into the room. "Are you ready?" She whispered like there was someone else who would hear us. "Yes," I replied. She sighed and pulled off the hat, slumping down on the stool at the foot of the bed. "My heart isn't ready to lead you to the Isle of the Blessed," she muttered in a quivering voice. I could tell that there were tears gathered in those eyes hidden in the darkness of the room. Only aided by a little stream of moonlight, I shuffled to the box of clothes and pulled out the shirt and pants that I wore to the Pack. I untied the rope of the gown I wore and slipped it down my body, shivering as cold air from outside brushed against my bare skin. "I don't think I have seen anyone ready to sacrif

VALERIE I sprang up, glaring back at Alexander who stood outside the cell. "Are you here to take us away to be killed?" I snapped. He remained stiff, not saying a word as he watched us."You won't say anything?" I snapped, gnashing my teeth in anger. I expected Jasmine to stop me from yelling at him but she did nothing. "What are you going to the Isle of the Blessed for?" He asked after a long stretch of silence. My throat knotted and I blinked severally in surprise. Jasmine jerked up in surprise, hovering behind me. "The– the Isle of the Blessed?" Jasmine gasped, tugging on my sleeve. "Tell him about it quickly!" She whispered. I slowly slipped back into reality and parted my lips to speak. "I have to get the antidote kept in the dark tower of the Isle of the Blessed," I said. "Someone that I love is dying. I have to save him."His lips twitched up in disgust and he scoffed, narrowing his eyes."You are doing this because of a man?" He groused, disdain scrunched up on his

VALERIE "But…" I paused and pouted in anger. He narrowed his eyes and began to trudge away. I huffed in disappointment and forced my feet to shuffle after him. "I need to save someone!" I snapped. His silence only made my heart heavier and almost brought tears to my eyes. I had to get away as fast as I could, even if it meant committing another crime upon the crimes that I had already committed. I clenched my fist, my heart constricting in anger. I looked down at the pants that I wore, and my throat knotted. This was the only way I could escape from him and save Jasmine as well. My hand moved to the belt strapped around my waist and pulled out the blade from its sheath. I took quick steps towards him and raised the blade in the air, ready to sink it into his neck. Jasmine's words snapped into my mind and my hand froze. It felt like a force was holding me back, preventing me from committing murder. "Get back to your senses, Valerie, get back to your senses!" Jade's warning

VALERIE I couldn't overcome the temptation to take a nap anymore. I slammed my eyes shut and dropped my head into his chest, drifting into darkness. I was afraid of getting trapped by the fake Valerie or another creature, but I didn't dream about them. The only thing that I saw was the dark tower standing some distance away. My brows raised as several voices followed a mocking laughter, laughing exactly the way the first voice laughed.Whispers of my name filled the air, making me shiver. I looked down at my feet and gasped when I realized that I was standing in the dark waters. I noticed that I wasn't sinking and I wasn't feeling the water beneath my feet. Everything seemed so real, including my feelings. I looked around and realized that there was nothing in sight aside from the dark waters I stood on and the dark tower some distance away from me. There was not even a single flying insect or bird flying around. The place was as silent as a graveyard— even a graveyard made more
