Justina Valentine Born Novels & Stories

“Was your other daughter not what you had hoped for?” “How do you know about-” “You’re not exactly a secret in Virginia. You’re a prominent figure, and everyone knows that Alastair Wade had a miracle child.” She was right. “My daughter being alive is all that I’d ever hoped for in a child. Sure, I would have loved a son, but…I would not trade Harlyn for the contrary. She is Caris, and I’s miracle after all.” I confessed. “Valene, however, there was…a connection there that…I could never explain. It…it was as if I was meant to have her in my life. Like…the Goddess mother, herself, meant for me to raise Val…to love her as my own.”

He noticed as my head turned around to take a look at the place. “Dad arranged this office when I told him I’ll be coming back for good. Please don’t judge.” I smiled at him. A knock came on the door. A blonde woman dressed in a silk cream blouse and fitted pink pencil skirt came in. With her is a girl in a black tracksuit, and her hair is in a high ponytail. “Mr. Valentino, we are here. Good Morning, Ms. Rivera. My name is Summer, I will assist you in your work here in the office.” The girl in the skirt us with a smile.

But I don't listen to them, and I flip the first page. When I open it, I see lots of pictures, and lots of dates revolving around the period I was born. But that's not what scares me. Not even the blood stains all over the documents scare me. What scares me is the birth certificate I find. 'Name: Valeria Johansson. Date of Birth: 19th November, 2000. Gender: Female. Born 4 a.m.,Kingard Yarn Hospital, 2nd Avenue, off Westbrooke Metropolitan Way, Illinois.

“I should probably introduce myself properly. I’m Valeria Castillo. Vicente’s daughter. Killian’s cousin.” “I remember,” I said quietly. She smiled slightly. “I’m not like the rest of them. I don’t think you’re some scheming spy sent to destroy the pack.” “Thank you,” I said, surprised by the warmth in her voice. “Don’t thank me yet,” Valeria said with a wry smile. “I’m just honest. And honestly? You’ve got guts. Running away from your mating ceremony, standing up to Killian’s father, surviving poison. Most people would have crumbled by now.”

she mumbled. “That was maybe the reason why he got jealous when I touched you back then just like that. Why is it really? I feel special knowing about this.” “Don’t flatter yourself. Maybe because I know.” Her head bowed and mumbled, “His parents wouldn’t approve of me. Just because I’m just me. A lowly waitress that works at a café.” “Really? We both know that you are more than just a waitress, Valeria,” Justin mentioned. “But I want someone who will like me for who I am.”

He wraps an arm around me, pulling me tight to his side, "You could have called me to come get you." I scrunched my nose, "Your dad said you were dealing with an invasion." Valentine throws his head back and laughs. "Kind of! He considers it to be one" he smiles and shakes his head, "My dad isn't a fan of eccentricity. He thinks the people visiting us right now are too loud and eccentric” “Who?” I can’t help but to ask. Valentine grins, “Family of Ben and Courtney. Ben’s twin sister and her mate and then Courtney’s cousin from her dad’s side. They’re from Miami and have loud personalities.”

When Val stepped into the car beside Aisha and her assistant, Justin, it felt less like a PR nightmare and more like a strange version of a school field trip. “You look fabulous, Ms Valentine,” Justin muttered from the front, half-turned in his seat. So far he was her least favorite person. She didn't know why but one of the unknown reasons would be because he insisted on calling her Valentine. She didn't like that version of her name. The venue was already crowded when they arrived. Models. Influencers. Government reps. Even a few celebrities whose faces Val had only seen in magazine covers. She posed with Aisha and the some of the other ambassador—a bright-eyed runway model who hugged Val

Because I literally didn’t know what else I can be if not Joshua’s beta. I think I was twenty-eight years late to rediscover the purpose of my life all over again. “Oh, it’s fine! She can take care of herself. Don’t worry about her,” Valentina said, placing her hand on my shoulder. “She has been brought up to handle every kind of situation. A beta must be ready at all times. Those official things aren’t a big deal for her. But today is a very important day for my daughter-in-law…” she got up from the sofa of the changing room and walked to the circular platform where Edith stood, actually looking like a queen.

VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW I gave birth to Ava when I had no one, my mom had died a while back, I was still grieving my dad’s death and my sister Sidney, my only source of strength and companionship was in a coma. Dester and my sister Sydney were fifteen when their love story had began before then they had completely hated each other, well I know she hated him, she would always tell me about how cocky and conceited she thought him to be and then somehow out of the blue a love so pure and strong started to grow between them.

Now, both of them stood face to face with each other without blinking. Ritha's face was getting red with anger while heart was burning with the fact that she was standing a lady who was once loved by her husband. Or more like whom he still loved unaware of her reality.
