Novel & Cerita Mai Valentine Vs Marik

she felt polite and continued to eat. He assumed he had probably eaten more prominent dishes and decided to be nice to her. “Your appetite is evident,” he said as he took some salad. “What?” Valentina looked up. “Nothing” I swallow the words in his stomach. “Oh…” She was momentarily silent, then said, “I want to ask you something.” “Tell me.” President Mercer always appreciates efficiency; Valentina cleared her throat and said bluntly, “Why did you buy a fake marriage? I think you should give me a reason.”

Taking that as a sign, I went ahead. “She said she needed to mark me to protect me from there people, whoever the fuck they are. But that doesn’t make a lot of sense when you think about it, does it? I mean, let’s say I needed an alpha’s protection, you’re an alpha. And you’re my mate, bonus points. Aren’t I already safe with you? Or are there any hidden laws of wolf society that I don’t know about?” Xavier shook his head. “I don’t mean to slander her, but Marcella hates me. Hate is a soft word to describe what she feels for me. I may be wrong, but that wasn’t why she did it.”

Mira I pulled the robe tightly around my body again, the heat of the moment before completely doused. “I – the mating bond, it –” “Save it,” Valen hissed, running his hands through his hair as he walked a small circle, as though trying to calm himself. I’d never seen him this angry, not without Blaze taking over their body. “We had a contract!” he snarled without looked at me. “An agreement! And here you are, trying to jeopardize it!”

*There’s no help for that brother of mine. A high-pitched squeal erupted from the back of the hall. Valeria came barreling toward us, arm in arm with her best friend. “Oh my Goddess, you guys are mated *and* marked!” she screamed. I sighed. “Valeria, could you get any louder?” “Yes, I can!” She darted around to Elena’s side. “Let me see! Oh my God, your mark is gorgeous. It looks so similar to Mom and Dad’s!” “Really?” I asked.

She informed filling my glass with orange juice. “With Victor.” I scoffed hearing his name and she nodded with a questioning look. “Sometimes I feel like, this Victor is his first wife.” She laughed at my statement and Valerie sipped her coffee. “Victor is Valentine’s right hand. He never goes out without him. Don’t be jealous of that lad, I can tell you that Valentine is straight. He isn’t interested in guys like Harman.” Valerie assures me like it was some serious issue earning a slap on head from Lola. I spit the juice ruining my dress and laughed hard.

“Again, Mira. Hold it. Control it.” I had groaned, sweat dripping, but she never let me slack—not when so much depended on me. Meanwhile, Marina and Gabriel were consumed with wedding plans. She and I agreed to hold her celebration right a week before my coronation, and though Marina invited Katria and Caspian to join her in a double wedding, Katria only laughed softly. “Not yet,” she said, leaning into Caspian’s shoulder. “We’re savouring our time.” Valen, still scarred by Elena’s fate, had gone to wander alone, chasing peace in the silence of distant lands. I hoped he’d find it.

But his voice, cold and arrogant, shattered it. "Where are you? Lucy needs a necklace for a banquet. I remember you wore that custom Valentine's piece today. Bring it over quickly." A bitter laugh echoed in my chest, mingling with despair. He killed our child for Lucy Wicker, and now he wanted to take my Valentine's necklace and give it to her? "Do you even remember leaving me alone at the bridal studio?" I asked. Caught off guard, Mike paused for a moment before replying curtly, "Are you seriously holding a grudge over that? Wedding photos can be taken any time. Why are you being so petty?"

Marek ignored him, tangling a hand in my hair, still locking me in his iron grip. My eyes were on Derek, wide and screaming for help. But Derek was too furious to notice, his eyes burning holes in our embracing bodies. “You’re fired, Valerie – get out!” His words low but finale, shattering the last fragile straw I clung to. Marek finally broke the kiss, slowly, deliberately, his mouth curving against mine as he pulled away, letting me gasp for air, too flustered to respond. “With pleasure,” Marek’s smirk was slow and dangerous. His eyes glittered – hungry, triumphant – holding my gaze a second longer before tugging me with him toward the elevator.

Ryan said "What makes you think you can defy the Hunter's? They are vicious people." Valentina said "I know, but not as vicious as I can be." Ryan said "Excuse me who are you?" Valentina asked "I am your mate, it would seem." Ryan said "Mate? Are you kidding me? You are kidding right?" Valentina asked but Ryan shook his head signifying he wasn't. 'How could it be? He must be lying.' She thought ''He is not, he is our mate.'' Maya said

“Have a seat, Leilah.” Colby assisted me in the seat in front of this Blake guy while he took the seat beside him. There were folders on the table and Blake is drinking wine. “Leilah, this is my adoptive brother, Blake Valentino. Blake, this is my biological sister, Leilah Rivera.” Colby introduced us. Blake reached out his hand. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Rivera.” His voice is sultry and wispy. It sounded like sea waves crashing inside my ears.
