Novel & Cerita The Golden Slipper Valia Lind

“I have a mate—and a wife. Nothing is going to happen between us.” My jaw tightened as I stood up, irritation burning into my chest. What the hell…? He was still clinging to that ridiculous mate bond. And this woman—what exactly was she doing? Did she not even know how to fucking seduce a man? “Liam… she’s nothing, just an orphan beta… she doesn't deserve you," Valeria said softly as she stood up, her hands trailing up his arm, her touch lingering. I watched closely, waiting as my mind anticipated.

Any connection at all. Valerie sucked in a breath. Finally, she seemed to be weakening. Seemed to be crumbling from that unperturbed stance she had taken. Still, she didn’t cry. She took a deep breath that trembled as it hit my ears and said, “Ava was a good slave. And she’s pretty. She sold quickly, and she’s talented at…many things.” She couldn’t even convince herself. I chuckled as she struggled for a grip on something—anything that would convince me to throw my coin at that marred girl on stage.

Valerian said softly and she started laughing. I looked at her again, a bit worried she'd gone mad or something. “Remember I wanted to tell you something earlier right, that is it. I overheard Valerian here,” she pointed at Valerian, “..telling Shira and Thalia that all men loved flowers yesterday and that both of you were flowers boys and decided to the Telpine forest to gather some of the best flowers when I heard them planning on the orders they had been given, to amongst other things steal some secrets and kidnap Dyelin." She shook her head in amazement. "They must have seen me and are clearly planning to get rid of me before I expose them."

"I’m sorry, Miss Valentina. I will change them right away." Valentina huffed and walked toward the stairs. She was wearing her high heels, the ones with the red soles. She was feeling powerful. She felt like she had finally pushed Naomi out of everyone’s head. Lucas was quiet. Evelyn was weak. The house was hers. But as she reached the top of the stairs, her heel caught on a loose piece of the expensive rug. "Oh!" Valentina gasped. She tried to grab the railing, but her hands slipped. She tumbled down the first five steps, landing hard on the marble landing.

It was not like I could just ask him to let me go and he would, the Alpha had found his mate and I was sure he intended to keep her. I walked towards my room door, knowing very well that I had not come all this way to be hauled up in a fancy castle and eat fancy cakes. The Alpha Emeral still had to pay for what he had done to me and I had to somehow get my revenge on him. The Alpha Lukkar may have met the peasant girl Ariel who was as cast from her pack and left to for the Hunters to finish off, but he was wrong. I am Valerie, Valerie of house Mo'monte, I had lived in the shadows of men for most of my life I was NOT going to leave in the Alphas shadow as well. Once I get his trust enough I w

Ariel’s face went pale, her hand gripping her lipstick tightly. "Julian Vane is a lot of things," Valeria continued, her voice dropping to a dangerous, quiet calm. "But he has never belonged to anyone. Not five years ago, and definitely not to a girl who has to threaten reporters just to keep his attention. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a story to write. And trust me... you don't want to be the main character in it." Valeria walked toward the door, her white heels clicking confidently against the tile floor. She grabbed the handle, her hand perfectly steady, before she paused and looked back at the furious woman in the mirror.

I gave him a look that made him chuckle. Elias stepped closer and placed his hands on my hips. “Sylvia takes a while to warm up to someone. We’ve had our fair share of disaster dates due to Val bringing home gold diggers.” “Gold diggers?” My eyes widened. “You’re not billionaires, are you?” He said nothing. Horror flashed through me. Alex was well-known and so was Valiant, but that didn’t mean that they made millions. “Elias, are you serious?” I whispered.

“Grazie, amore mio.” “Don't thank me.” She giggles. “It is I who should be thanking you.” She raises her hand, displaying her ring, and she wriggles her finger. “If I'm going to be Mrs Valentino, I thought it was only fair that I put a ring on your cock.” She smirks. Raising my brow. “That explains the red lipstick,” I mutter with amusement. I pull her into my chest, kiss the top of her head, and hold her to me until I'm ready to let her go.

she said, putting a hand in her cheek. “Miles would be so proud of you and your Lycan” Valerian said, a proud smile on his face and Alari smiled, her eyes still glowing. I could feel her Lycan on the surface. “Please give us a moment” I said and they both left, closing the door behind them. “If that wasn't the sexiest thing I've ever seen, I don't know what is” I said. “So my body isn't the sexiest thing you've ever seen?” She asked, a teasing smirk on her lips.

she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper, her pain palpable in every word. I couldn't bear to meet her gaze, couldn't bear to see the devastation reflected in her eyes. But still, I couldn't bring myself to lie, couldn't bring myself to deny her the truth she so desperately sought. "It was her," I whispered, the words a bitter admission of my own failings. Val stumbled back as if struck, her hands leaving me as if I were toxic. I watched as her hand collided with my cheek, the sting of her slap barely registering against the overwhelming tide of guilt and shame that threatened to consume me.
