Chapter 31

"Do you have any questions for me?" Leonard asked. "Do you want to know about me?"Valerie shook her head. She wants to but she would rather find that out herself.Leonard stood. "Then you have some rest. The ship will take off soon.""You are not staying here?""Do you want to share a room with me?" Valerie shook her head and he smiled. "Then you have some rest."Leonard left the cabinet, leaving Valerie alone. She went to stand beside the window staring at the sea. The ship started and their journey began. As Valerie watched the ship move, she knew she was going farther and farther away from home.Valerie suddenly misses her father. Although she could talk to him on the phone, it would not be the same as seeing him.This was the first time in fourteen years, after she had returned to her father's side at ten that she was leaving home. And this time, she is not only leaving but also going to a very far place.Valerie opened one of her bags and brough

Valerie followed him and in no time they were out of the mansion and on a lone path to wherever they were going."Where are we going?" Valerie asked. "To your office?""No," Arden answered. "To the mansion you would stay.""I am not staying with him?""Do you want to stay with him?" Arden asked and Valerie shook her head quickly."No."Arden smiled. "You are going to stay with him but not now. Not until after the wedding."Valerie nodded. That's good. She wished she didn't have to stay with him at all though."How was your trip?" Arden asked."Awesome," Valerie replied.They got to a building that wasn't far from Leonard's. "You will be staying here," Arden said. "None of the maids know you. Leonard insisted on that."Valerie rolled her eyes slightly. She never said she didn't want maids who knew her to see her. She would have loved to have Diana.Did Leonard misunderstand her?"Can I have Diana work with me? Leonard doesn't..

Chapter 33

Valerie remembered that the pink book was still lying on the table. She dropped the book in her hand on the couch and went to pick it up.Valerie opened it to check for the necklace she had kept in it; it was intact. She thought about putting the book in the wardrobe but she knew others would have access to it, since she would no longer be in charge of her clothes. She decided to put it in one of the lockers. She locked it up and then kept the key in a safe place.Valerie became bored staying in the room. She picked up the book she was reading, left the room, and went to the living room to sit. Some maids walked past her, bowing.Valerie waved at them. "Hi."The maids became scared and ran away. Valerie was surprised.Why are they scared? Why did they run away? After the maids, left, no other maid came to the living room or walked around it. Valerie could tell they were trying to avoid her.She just wanted to be nice to them, bu

Chapter 34

Valerie smiled. "Yes, it is. I was happy when I saw him sit up yesterday. His injuries have almost healed up.""I am so happy, Val," Elora said.Valerie nodded. She is too.They went on to talk about other things; Ariel left when their conversation became intense. Valerie told Elora everything; from the Pack wanting to betroth her to the Blackcrown Alpha, to Luella's suspicious attitude, and also what she heard in the kitchen.Elora was furious that the Pack Valerie used her one year's freedom to save, had thought about giving her out to the Blackcrown Alpha."I knew they would be ungrateful," Elora said. "They had always been like that."Valerie nodded. She wouldn't agree less.Elora also talked about Luella's attitude. "You need to be careful," she told her.When she heard about her life being sought after, she became scared."Would you come to the Ice Pack?" She asked. "You will be safe there."Valerie smiled.

Chapter 35

Valerie opened her eyes; it was morning already. She stood up to take her bath and then went to the dining room to have breakfast; she had told Ariel she would be having breakfast every day in the dining room and not in her room anymore."Good morning, Luna," Two maids, setting the table, greeted.They weren't afraid of her this time; maybe Ariel spoke to them. They went on to serve her breakfast and then left her to eat. Valerie ate her food and packed the plates. She took them to the kitchen. When the maids in the kitchen saw her, they rushed to take them from her.Valerie handed them over to them and returned to her room. She decided to ring the bell so Ariel could come in. Ariel showed up a few minutes later. "I have to go see the Beta," she told Valerie. "But I will be back soon."Valerie nodded. "Okay."Ariel left the room and Valerie was left alone. She became bored but she couldn't do anything about it. Valerie set up her drawi

Chapter 36

Valerie was very happy she was able to go out. "How did you convince Arden?" She asked Ariel, as they walked down the lonely path."I did not convince him," Ariel answered. "I just spoke to him about it and he said yes. He must know how bored you are."Valerie nodded. Arden seems to understand her very well."Tell me," Valerie said. "How is Arden? I mean tell me about him."Ariel smiled. "Arden... I mean Beta Arden is a very nice person. He's been good to every Pack member. He is hard-working too."Valerie nodded. He can tell that."And the Alpha?" She asked.Ariel's mood changed. "T-the Alpha? I don't know anything about him.""You don't know anything about him or you don't want to say anything about him?" Valerie asked. "Are you scared of him?"Ariel nodded. Not only is she scared of him, but she is also scared that someone might hear them and she will get punished for talking about him."Is your Alpha ruthless like the rumor said?" Val

Chapter 37

"The body of water wasn't always that big," Ariel continued. "I heard it was small at first but the body of water kept growing and soon it became a sea. I heard there was something the Waterfall ancestors did but I don't know what it was."Valerie nodded. She wasn't expecting Ariel to know.Valerie looked around. They were already deep into the garden; they didn't even know."What fruit do you want?" Ariel asked. "I will get it from you.""Hmmm...," Valerie looked around again. She pointed. "I want raspberries," Valerie answered."I will get the basket," Ariel said and left. She returned a few minutes later with a basket. "I will go get you some.""Why is there only one basket?" Valerie asked. "Why didn't you get one for me?""I can't do that," Ariel answered. "It's my job to get you anything you want."Valerie shook her head. She is not taking that.She moved closer to Ariel and took the basket. "Go get yours. We can get enough fruits for everyon

Chapter 38

Valerie smiled. That's good news. She had been worried she was going to melt and her friend Elora would freeze. "But," Ariel said and that made her groan. Not but, please. "You might need to get some clothes for the cold and for the heat. Maybe you don't need much for the heat. You should be used to that already but for the cold, you will need lots of clothes." Valerie nodded. She can get clothes for that. She is sure Leonard would prepare those. "You still haven't told me how the Fire Pack became a boundary for the two hemispheres," Valerie said. "Oh that," Ariel said. "One of the two Packs needed to enter into the other hemisphere, emitting and receiving the temperature. The Ice Pack wasn't that big and most of their members could not survive the heat of the Fire Pack so the Fire Pack volunteered. It wasn't easy at first but we survived." Valerie smiled. Thank goodness they volunteered. "It's getting l

Chapter 39

"I guess that. They are in the northern hemisphere here so those from the southern hemisphere don't know them," he said. "The Shadow Pack is known to be warriors just like the mountain Park. They..." "You know the Mountain Pack?" Valerie asked. He smiled. "Yes, I do. Am I not supposed to know them?" Valerie shook her head. "I do not mean that. I am just surprised. Since your Pack doesn't get involved with other Packs I do not expect that you will know them." He smiled again. "That I do not get involved with other Packs doesn't mean I don't know them." "That is still surprising. Why don't you get involved with..." He frowned. "Do you want to know about the Shadow Pack or do you want me to send you out?" He wants to send her out? Valerie scoffed. "Fine, tell me about the Shadow Pack." "As I said, they are the same as the Mountain Pack but the difference is that the Shadow Pack has sharper eyes an

Valerie nodded. "He did. That's one of the reasons he asked me to meet you... I still have some questions though. Can I ask them?" Ariel nodded. "Sure, you can." "Aren't you scared of Leonard?" "I am not. Why should I fear that troublemaker?" Valerie blinked. Ariel really isn't scared of Leonard. "But you looked scared when talking about him a while ago." Ariel smiled. "That was an act. I was a maid. I needed to act like one." Valerie nodded. She gets that. "What other questions do you have?" "Now that you are Leonard's cousin, can you tell me about him?" Valerie asked. "Is he ruthless? I asked him and he said yes." Ariel sighed. "That's because he wasn't lying about it. Don't get me wrong, Leonard is a very nice person, friendly and all that. But..." She looked at Valerie. "When he gets angry, he can be ruthless." Valerie's heart skipped a beat. If Ariel his cousin can say this about him, then he is ruthless. "But he loves..." Ariel's phone began to ring. It was Arden cal
