All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S DAUGHTER;THE HEART OF MALROUX : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Valerie POV Unable to believe my eyes especially at Claven’s audacious attempt to define the alpha’s orders. Every time I was certain that he would be definitely losing his head, he ended up keeping it and pulling his way with words. Claven has always being the only one who ensured I was comfortable in the pack. He’s one you might call emotionally unavailable at least that’s what he wants everyone to believe. When deep down, he’s a softie. One time i could have sworn he was born into the alpha’s lineage because of his boldness and unapproachable aura. No one said it hit for some guards, they feared his fury even more than the alpha’s. Standing in that space, he wasn’t moved not by the Alpha’s anger or even the tension of the Luna. The determination in his eyes is like no other. Curiosity rising in my heart for the first time. Who exactly is Claven? Why does he have little or no fear for the alpha? Why does it seem like if he doesn’t have his way he can burn the bridges and probably

Chapter 14Valerie. “Don't tell me you're out of your senses because that's the least I would take from you!”. The alpha barked,as he stepped down from his throne. His Luna followed suit. “I love Claven;”. Xandia words kept on playing in my head continuously. We are to live with different men…..The alpha looked at Xandia square in her eye and said “You don't have a say in this,Xan. Your wedding is in three months because you must've awakened your powers,and if you say no to me, I'll feed your best friend's body to the rogues and vultures!”. I froze. Xandia had no other best friend except me.I began to wonder why the alpha didn't want to see me live and was fond of threatening everyone around me with my life. I wished there was a better life outside the pack.I wouldn't have hesitated to leave, but life outside the pack house is cruel and dangerous,not after the fools that searched my parents quarters sto

Xandia pov. My heart started to beat drastically,I felt my skin peeling profusely internally. “You can do this,Xan. Always. You've always been a winner!”. Valerie tried to cheer me,I replied with a smile and bowed my head before dad and mum. The council members were watching me keenly with their faces filled with pride and jealousy. Some were jealous because they had wanted their sons to get married to me,who wouldn't want to mate with a female alpha?.“I'm not sure I can do this……”. I muttered to myself when my eyes met with mum. A frown etched her forehead to which she threw me a furious gaze. “Don't embarrass yourself!. We have more than fifty alpha's who came to watch the future alpha's first training. Keep your heads high and make sure Claven didn't just win you, fight him,show him you're capable and watch your dad and I proud of you”. Mom mindlinked, causing my heart to drum uncontrollably.

Valerie. “Al…. alpha”. I stammered,my throat dry. The princess was perplexed as she looked between her dad and I in confusion. “Everyone, leave us” the alpha ordered the guards that were about eight in numbers. And they did as the alpha instructed. “Where did you get this crystal with your name embedded on it?”. The alpha threw a crystal stone on the table,it landed with a thud. “Cry…..”. I paused, remembering the night mom gave me this a night before she died. She told me that I'll understand the meaning of this crystal when the time comes, could it be that she stole it from the alpha?.And why would she even do that!?”. “My mom… gave it to me. But I lost it after the guards tagged me a traitor's daughter and rummaged through my room”. I explained, using every ounce of strength in me to fight the tears that were threatening to spill. “Dad….. Valerie didn't steal. Please believe her,she has never stolen something b

Valerie.I never knew I was alone until Claven proved it for me. I thought I had a second supportive friend,but he doubted me and even told me to turn myself in forcefully when I did nothing wrong. “I'm innocent”. I cried,when he had already left. “I guess you're a special victim.Because the alpha made sure your dungeon was cleaned up before your arrival. You're special to him…can't you see my dungeon. It stinks,I can't even breathe properly”. She complained,but I ignored her and continued shedding my tears. “When my grandma was alive,I was told a story about a crystal. What it means and what you should expect, especially if your name is on it and you're the rightful owner of it”. She continued, because she knew despite not answering her,I was listening attentively. “What's the story behind it?”. I asked,my interest piqued. “I'm sure of this,but I believe in every story I was told by my grandma. Having a crystal
