Kai“You shouldn't have brought her here, Kai. She could be dangerous, an enemy, a spy, or even worse, a tool to destabilize what you’ve spent years building. You’re usually not this careless. What happened to you today?”I pluck a blunt from my lips and tap it against an ashtray, my forehead twisted into knots. Peyton, my beta, hasn’t shut up about his concerns for hours. Ever since he heard that I brought a woman home, he has whined and raved about it despite my deliberate silence.“It’s not safe for Ashville. We finally managed to rise up the ranks and protect the subjects, yet you’re willing to throw it all away just because of a woman? Fine, she’s pregnant, that doesn’t mean you should let your guard down around her.”I give him a nod, still silent. He takes that as a cue to go on.“Rumors are making rounds. People are saying the woman the Alpha brought home is his Luna, which is ridiculous, considering the fact that she gave birth as soon as she got to the pack. You can’t possi

Valerie“Come with me.”Those three words from Lady Juliet are all it takes. I place my baby down on the bed and trail after her with mild difficulty, taking deep breaths along the way. She wades through the hallways, acknowledging greetings from guards stationed everywhere. I follow her into an elevator, trying to ignore the way my heart slams rapidly against my chest.“What’s your name?” she asks all of a sudden.“Valerie.”“Valerie.” The name rolls off her tongue, like she’s trying to savor and keep it in her memory forever. “Warrior Lyon is the one who holds the forte on the borders. If he dies, the army will be destabilized. He’s important to Ashville.”Just as I try to wrap my head around her words, she turns to me, grabbing my hand in hers. “I’ll put my trust in you. Do all you can to save him.”What have I gotten myself into? I volunteered to help the most important warrior of the Asheville army, now their hope of survival is on me. I can’t retract my words now either.“Lady J

Valerie“I’m sorry, I'll have to decline this offer.”The hall bursts into a noisy commotion at my reply. I know it must seem strange to them. Lots of people would kill for this opportunity. Being a citizen of Asheville means one gets to be untouchable, protected and feared, but that’s not what I'm after. I have seen how cruel people can get when they no longer need me, and I have no intention to go through hell the second time. As always, I can't tell what’s going through Kai’s mind. He tilts his head to the side, exhaling calmly.“Why do you decline, Valerie?” a woman asks. “Are the benefits not to your liking? We will make sure you are given a salary higher than anything you can think of.”I flash her a smile. “Thank you, ma’am, but I won't stay here for too long. Once I recover completely, I'll leave this pack.”Kai’s jaw clenches. I tear my gaze from him, planning my future. I have so many things to do. I intend to leave the country, apply for research positions and hone my skil

Valerie After breakfast, Kai's driver gives us a drive around his pack. We’re seated in the backseat, me with my baby in my arms, Kai with a slight scowl on his forehead. I stare out the window for most part of the ride, taking in the surroundings. Ashville is a very prosperous pack. Being Sebastian’s Luna gave me a lot of opportunities to travel, but I've never been anywhere as developed as this. “Where are we going?" I ask after we have circled the same road three times. For the first time since the drive started, Kai glances at me, clearing his throat. “I thought I'd show you what you’d be missing if you leave Ashville.” I should have known he had reasons for the sudden sightseeing. He’s persistent, I'll have to give him that. But nothing he does can change my mind. I put my dreams on hold for Sebastian before. I'd never do that again. “This is a waste of time, Alpha Kai. I know what I'll be missing already.” “Luna Valerie Vairmont, the ex- wife of Sebastian Vairmont, Alpha o

Valerie“We managed to stabilize your son, but I'm afraid that’s all we can do for now, Miss Manchester,” the doctor in charge of Lucien says outside the ICU a while later. I am a lot calmer, but I still feel dread course through my veins. I can’t get over what happened to Lucien. The amount of blood he lost, the way his eyes changed in the space of a few seconds.“I can’t figure out what’s wrong with him. It’s almost… supernatural. It’s the first time I'm seeing symptoms like this in a person.”The Alpha’s words ring in my ears. Could he be right? Did Lucien really contract the virus spreading in the werewolf kingdoms? How on earth did that happen?“We will do all we can to save him,” the doctor is saying. “His vitals keep dropping, and I fear that he won’t survive if we don’t get to the root of this strange ailment, but I'll give everything I can to save your son.”Mireya bursts into the hallway. I break down in tears as soon as I see her. She rushes over to me, wrapping her arms ar
