A Valiant Life Romane & Geschichten

He could feel the shift in the air, the challenge in their gaze. The crowd parted slightly as another figure emerged. It was Vendetta, her dark cloak billowing around her as she moved with practiced grace. She stepped onto a raised platform, her presence commanding attention without uttering a word. Malik sneered again, emboldened by the murmurs of the pack. He took a step closer, his voice louder now. “Tell us, Valen—why should we entrust our lives to you? You can’t even hold your own in a fight. Keep your head intact. You abandoned the weak that entrusted there lives to you, and fled like a coward. What kind of leader does that?”

We’d always done it that way, and always would. He nodded. “Do you know the oath?” “I do, boss.” “Alright then. Karma, sambuca, please. Shotgun, when you’re ready.” She poured three shots, and was ready with a lighter. Good ol’ flaming sambuca. “I, Frank ‘Shotgun’ Yates, stand here today to pledge my loyalty to the Valkyrie, my club, my crew, my family on two wheels. To my fellow Valkyries, I swear to have your back on every road and every ride.

Kael Blackclaw, the Rogue King, disguised himself as a delivery man to assassinate my mate, the Alpha of the Moonbane pack, Lucas Wolfgang. However, it was Valentine's Day that day, and Lucas was busy celebrating a romantic evening with his lover and childhood friend elsewhere. When Kael realized that he had failed in his assassination, he took my daughter, Tina Wolfgang, as hostage and forced me to drink the deadly wolfsbane potion. I tried my best to distract him with lighthearted chatting while sending Lucas an SOS signal through our mind link.

“I had already fought Kenneth and his knights. I cannot back out now. I can’t say I’m with you on this because I know you hate my existence just as much as I hate yours. But I can say with absolute certainty that I’m with Cassandra on this.” “Did you come here in San Antonio hoping to win her back? Hoping that she would choose you?” Valerian laughed, but it sounded empty. “You still don’t realize it, do you? The fact that Cassandra is here, that I chased her here, meant that she had already chosen. I could give her a comfortable and peaceful life, away from all these battles. With me, she would never have to question her worth. With me, she will be assured that she is enough, nobody will pre

HUDSON’S POV In life there are risks…but to truly live, one must dare to risk it all. Those were Val’s words during that poker game at Grandma’s memorial. Words that I never truly understood up until this moment. This very moment where I laid side by side to the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. How could someone look so beautiful? So peaceful and full of life while they were fast asleep?

“We don’t. This is the only way to protect you, Adriano, and Mama. You know that.” She groaned and threw her hands in the air. “You’re unbelievable. You always have to play the hero.” “I’m not the hero,” I said, looking at her sharply. “I’m the survivor.” Valentina was married. To a man she loved with no ties to the Mafia. Father had been mad as hell. But what that meant was that she really couldn't help me, or us. She was just as much in danger as the rest of us.

Dark. "I know," he muttered, sipping his wine. "What bothers me is that you give up too easily. One little splinter in your finger, and you cry." Ouch. Did he have to be so mean about it? "Valerian is a willful man. He’ll do anything to make things right. He’s strong, no doubt—but every strong man has his limits. I fear for him as much as I fear for you," he said, hinting that something terrible might happen. "I know the life you wanted is far from what I’ve given you. And this world we’re in won’t give us rest, Elodie. You need to learn how to stay strong."

“Richard will take you.” I nodded, but I couldn’t speak. Home. If that word still meant anything. I just needed to get out. Somewhere far from his shadow. Somewhere I could scream, cry, breathe. DAMIAN Valentina’s mouth moved over me like a woman chasing survival desperate, graceful, calculated. She used her tongue like a weapon and her lips like silk, eyes glancing up through thick lashes, waiting for approval she already assumed she owned. She was good. Of course she was.
