VALKYRIEAs soon as the morning sun rose in the east, I forced myself out of bed, groaning lightly due to the pain all over my body. We'd been training harder than before which started yesterday and also took turns at the post to let the others train for themselves. In summary, it was a hectic Sunday and I'd been wanting to just flee from this dilemma and spend the rest of the day with my mate.That's why I was eager to get myself ready for another week. Sage had agreed to let me pick her up from her house and drop her off after school. I was thankful that Father let me focus on my relationship with Sage. So once I sat at the table, I guzzled down the cereal into my mouth and I haven't realized that I garnered the attention of my whole family."Woah, Val. Slow down, will you?" Vance said, staring at me oddly."I bet she's excited," Esther commented, her tone was teasing. "Excited to get kissy-mushy with her mate. Smell how clean she is. Did you just spray your perfume even inside your
The Phantom Queen Chapter 17: The Crackling Maze
VALKYRIEOnce I shut my locker close, I saw the captain of the cheerleading squad coming at me. Primrose Russel was eager to convince me to try out but unfortunately, I didn't have time to do unnecessary things as of now. I sincerely wanted to join because cheerleading distracted me before in a good sense but Sage had become my distraction nowadays——in so many ways.When Primrose halted inches away from me, her lips twisted in a toothless smile. "So tryout is gonna start any minute. And I've come here to guide you there which is rare of me, actually. I'm going to admit it, Irvine. As a former co-captain before, you're going to be a good addition to my team and yes, I do my research."I lifted my brow, amused that she'd done her assignment so well——not that well though. Clearing my throat, I shifted my body to face her. "Sorry to say but I can't really afford to join your team."Her smile dropped at my response. "Why not?""I have personal reasons and I hope we leave it at that," I sai
The Phantom Queen Chapter 18: The Cryptic Image of Dusk
SAGESo far, everything was going great between Val and I. My friends eventually accepted my relationship with her but still too adamant about letting them get closer for some reason. So whenever it was lunch break, we still couldn't share tables but it was quite fine for me because Val would still pick me up and drop me off after school. We were spending a lot of time with each other as much as we could. Because why the hell not?On the contrary, Primrose finally found out that I was always hanging out with Val, giving her a hint about why the new Aphrodite of the school declined to join her team. She lost a bet and I hoped that she wasn't the type of person who would back down on her words. I was hesitating to call out my win to her though and just decided to ask her for a one-time favor instead of making her a slave for a week. That was going to be ugly on her part, considering her infamous popularity. I wasn't that evil in this story, you know. I knew that she was waiting for me t
The Phantom Queen Chapter 19: Deep into the Sinking Ocean
SAGE'But you don't have to force yourself to reciprocate my love for you. Just let me show you that my feelings are not entirely base on our mate connection.'Those were the statement I heard from Val when I only responded with silence. Honestly, I'd never heard someone say those three words to me in a romantic way. And I'd never felt being so detached from myself before when I heard those declarations escaping her lips. It was like my soul was transported into a surreal painting while leaving my body in the reality. My mind was clouded with happiness and excitement, then soon fear, confusion and doubt took over. Fear of the unknown, confusion about how my heart speaks for her, and doubt in myself. It was a diverse ride towards uncertainty. And I just hoped that I didn't hurt her for not responding to her sudden confession.I'd never fall in love with someone before so I was really clueless about how it really feels. Hence why I didn't know exactly how to respond to her. Although Eth
The Phantom Queen Chapter 20: The Cluster of Emotions
SAGE"Sage, are you sure you're okay?"Cayde's question loomed into my ears once again. He should have checked on Primrose instead because she was the one who took more damage——physically and emotionally. My face was a bit stingy but Val made me feel better a while ago which also made me wonder how was Gwen though. "I'm fine," I muttered, turning to face him while I walked backward. "Where's Gwen? Did she chase for Primrose?""Na-ah." Cayde shook his ginger head. "She just walked off by herself like you. And you haven't explained to me why you got into the fight with Primrose in the first place. Am I joke to both of you? "I stopped in my tracks. Then tugged Cayde to halt with me and we stood in the middle of the place swamped with drained students who were already going home. It was quite tiring to cheer and participate in the pep rally so we were all done for the day. Tomorrow would be more hectic anyway."I know you know something between them. Care to share it with me because Pri
The Phantom Queen Chapter 21: Undefined Path towards the Aftermath
VALKYRIE"What's that Zak wants from you?" Vance exclaimed from the driver's seat.I let out a sigh. "He threatened me not to tarnish their pack. Apparently, they are offended when I pointed out that the missing teens are all from Rassler——from their territory."He sneered. "What a douche. I don't even see that they're really our ally. Speaking of that, are you really sure that this witch can be trusted? Even if she's Sage's friend, she's still loyal to her coven.""We have no choice but to seek for their help." I looked over the window when Vance pulled over in front of a ranch-style house. No one would suspect that a family of witches was living here because it looked like an ordinary house among the others.When I hopped out of the car, my phone buzzed in my pocket, indicating I had received a message. Gwen messaged me that I must go alone or else, they wouldn't entertain us. Turning to my brother, I gave him a signal to stay put but he shook his head in response."You won't go the
The Phantom Queen Chapter 22: The Impending Revelation
VALKYRIEAfter I'd informed my family about what I'd learned from Mrs. Laveau, I took a quick shower and changed into my windbreaker jacket, tracks pants and running shoes. When my mother found out about my situation with Sage——on how her brother died, she requested to meet her as soon as possible. That it would be better if my mate would finally meet my family to show her that we were good people. I had no complain about that but it was still Sage's decision if she was going to come with me tomorrow. Honestly, we didn't have to do this that soon but we were in critical moment. I wanted to tell Sage that I am a werewolf as soon as possible to break the mind compulsion Voss had inflicted to her. Those vampires could dispel it but I'd rather tell her myself——that we were also part of this strange world. The blood moon would show in the next month already so it would be better for her to learn about what I truly am so that if ever she accept me, we had efficient time to explain things to
The Phantom Queen Chapter 23: Camaraderie Between Distinctions
VALKYRIE"Yes! We won!!" Sage exclaimed as everybody cheered in their own seat. Our ice hockey team was able to score more than the away team of Rassler. I was a little bit impressed that Cayde was able to triumph this game with his speed against the three werewolves who was undercover in the enemy team just like he was. They may have the brute strength but that was going to be useless when you couldn't even catch your opponent and Cayde used that capability to his advantage.My gaze moved to Zak who was definitely furious at the ginger vampire. Of course, that typical boy was the captain of Rassler Team. So cliché of him when he almost smashed Cayde against the barrier of the hockey field but was unsuccessful as the latter had quickly evaded his attack. But I was kinda disappointed that they didn't get to a fight. In the first place, fighting is allowed in ice hockey. I guess that Zak was a coward to get beaten up because he was clearly concerned of his 'reputation'.I smirked at mys
