I’m running…
I’m running as fast as I can. I don’t know who he is, but the terror in my heart is too great to be ignored. It’s raining and I’m freezing from the cold, my clothes are drenched from the heavy downpour, but I can’t think about that right now because he is so close, his footsteps keep getting closer and the more he got closer to me, the more terrified I become.I’ve never been so cold and scared before, The rain is whipping and I feel a sense of loss so heavy that it mulls on my heart. I could hear voices around, it seems like everyone is running away from an imminent danger, but not this guy. No, he wasn’t scared of anything and his only wish is to find me.“Give me that ornament, you wench!” The sound of his voice makes me shiver in fear. His aura is intimidating and scary. So scary, I could feel it as I run away from him. I can tell from his compelling aura that he is not an ordinary werewolf. He is of high rank, he could be an Alpha or Beta, I really can’t say and I’m not going to stick around to find out who he is. He’ll probably kill me before I get a chance to see his face. I have no idea what he is talking about, I don’t even know who he is. But one thing is certain, he wants me dead and he will stop at nothing until he gets the ornament.I wish I know what the ornament is, I would have gladly given it to him to save my life. But I have no idea what he is talking about and he doesn’t sound like someone who is ready to listen to anything I have to say. The only option I have is to run as fast as my legs can take me and put some distance between us.I kept on running, and even when I stumbled and fell to the floor, I picked myself up and continued running. I could hear the sound of the water flowing into the river down below. I know where I am, and I know exactly what is going to happen next. It’s the waterfall, and it’s the only way out of here. I know this because I have been through this process before and it always ends the same way. “Jump, Val…I’m right here waiting for you, I’ll never leave you alone, I’ll protect you from him. He will never hurt you as long as you are with me, together, we can defeat him…Come to me, my love, Jump!” he screams at the top of his voice.Right on cue…That is exactly what he tells me every damn time, and I always listen to him. Always…His voice, that amazing voice that makes the butterflies in my stomach summersault. I could never turn back, even if I wanted to. The attraction, the pull is so strong, so alluring. The sound of his voice makes my heart beat faster in excitement, whenever I get to this point, I tend to forget all about my assailant. All I can think about is the feeling of warmth that surrounds me and the tingling sensation that I feel all over my body. The anticipation makes me ignore every other thing around me, and I jump willingly, hoping to meet my prince charming that would save me from the terrible monster that is after my life. But when I finally jump down the cliff, I discovered that it wasn’t a waterfall, No. It was a room, a very dark room with no doors or windows. Then I heard the sound of footsteps approaching me, and I turned to see if it is my handsome prince that makes my heart to beat rapidly, but I am met with the most frightening sight ever. It is not a handsome prince, it is not even human. It is a monster, with razor-sharp claws and elongated canines protruding out of its mouth. It tries to come close to me, you tear me apart and feed on my carcass. I scream at the top of my voice, and I turned to run away, but he held me back and pinned me to the wall, forcing me to look into his eyes.“Mine!” he whispered in my ears, awakening my desires once more. I felt so hot within me, I could feel the heat pooling between my legs. I desire to be ravished by this beast, I want to wrap my legs around his hips and let him screw me to the moon and back. But the fear of being in a dark room with a monster was greater than whatever I’m feeling for him. And so I screamed at the top of my voice, trying to push him away and make a run for it. But he is too strong, too powerful. He smiles at me and he holds my two hands, stopping me from thrashing around like a lunatic. Then he leans forward and peck’s my lips softly. Then he whispers into my ears, “Wait for me on the other side, my love. I’ll come to find you.” He assures me with a smile, then he brings his hand forward and drags a finger on my cheeks, using his claw to draw a line on my cheeks, making me scream out in pain as his razor-sharp claw rips my skin open and I bleed profusely. I scream and yell for mercy, and I thrash around furtively in an attempt to free myself from his grip…And that is when I wake up from that terrible dream, screaming at the top of my voice with blood on my face. I keep asking myself how the hell was I able to see so clearly in the dark, and how am I able to heal myself?Then I remember the words of my stepfather, the same words he keeps repeating to me while he abuses me every damn day, “You are a witch, Valerie. A blood-sucking demon, that is what you are. Get away from my house, leave my family, you spawn of Satan!” he spits out in my face, making me rejected and alone as he kept reminding me every damn day that I am not a part of his family.Valerie’s POVBeep! Beep! Beep! Beep!“No… No… No… No…”I complained in frustration as the noisy alarm clock on my table vibrated continuously. I reached out and tried to turn it off, but I only succeeded in knocking it off the table.Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!It rang on from the floor, blaring louder with every ring. I had no choice I simple had to stand up and turn it off quickly before it wakes anyone else. Today is not the day to annoy Charlotte or anyone else for that matter. Its bad enough that Charlotte and I would be going to the same school. I’ve dreaded this moment ever since our mom told me that I would be going to college with Charlotte this year.“I should have killed you when I had the chance, Valerie. People are beginning to ask too many questions about you, they want to know why my adopted daughter is working as a slave while my kids are going to school. I wish I can get rid of you without traces, but now I’m forced to approve of you going to college. You are a shame to
Mavericks POVMy name is Maverick Huntington, and I am the Alpha of the Blue moon pack. I am a descendant of Hunter Huntington, the last true Alpha king. “It sounds great right?”Yeah, it should. I am a true Alpha and I am supposed to be the king of all Alphas. But that is mere wishful thinking. I am a wolfless Alpha. I do not have the strength of an Alpha and my wolf is lying dormant within me. It all started with a prophecy and a curse...Many years ago, the Salutary wolves delve into magic and sorcery. They weren’t supposed to, But they did, and it cost them their lives and their gift. Because of the mistakes of my family, the moon goddess placed a curse on us, a curse that made us weak and vulnerable. A curse that can never be broken, unless the prophecy is fulfilled. The curse does not involve the Lycans, they have their supernatural abilities, and that is why they control us.I have been away from the pack for nearly ten years, I had to attend the Academy of Alphas/Betas, that
Valerie’s POVI was packing up used dishes, and dirty laundry around the house, taking them back to the kitchen and laundry room where am still going to wash them, then I felt Malia stirring restlessly in my hard. I could feel a slight shiver in my bones and the hair on my back stood in fear, warning me of an imminent danger.I could have ignored the warning and continued with my work but I just couldn't. Malia always acts this way when I’m about to be attacked. I should have been used to all this by now, I should even be able to anticipate their attacks without Malia's warnings. But I always make the same mistake, I keep doubting Malia and second guessing myself. Before I could react, before I could turn around to check my surrounding, it is always too late. When I turned around, I came face to face with the demoness herself, Charlotte. Her eyes glowed with an evil glint. It’s easy to tell that she has some mean tricks up her sleeve. “Good Mooorrrnnning, sweet sis. How was your nig
Mavericks POVToday is the day that I will finally get my hands on those scrolls. The sorcerers were in that basement doing whatever it is that they always come here to do. It has already been established that only the king and his sorcerers can gain access to that basement, I had to wait for the king to join them in the basement before I could sneak into the palace building. I had to wait for Beverly in her room, I waited for a good few minutes, but she didn’t show up. She left me a message to tell me to wait a little while for her. From her message, it seems like she was attending to some personal matters, or so she claimed. For all I know she could be screwing one of the other Alphas that graces her bed constantly. She is such an insatiable whore!But I waited anyway, I need to get this over with, this is my only chance to steal that scroll and find out why the lycan king has been hiding it from is all along. I got a text from Leroy, he informed me that the king has left the meeti
Five Years Later,Valerie’s POVLife as an independent adult away from her family and friends was not easy. In fact, it was harder than I’d ever imagined and it was humbling. If only I had someone to call family. Janelle and her family were the closest I came to having a family. I couldn’t live in their house because her parents would never take me in if they get to find out that I ran away from home. Besides, I always feel weird whenever I’m around them, it felt like their wolves was calling out to me, begging me to set them free. They feel it too, I can see it in their eyes, but they have no idea what they are feeling, they have no idea that I have a beast within me that is begging to be let loose.I had to avoid living with them, I turned down every offer from Janelle to help me get a family to live with. I used part of the money I got from Liam to get a little a little apartment that just manageable and cheap. I know I would have gotten more assistance from Liam, he cares so much
Mavericks POVFive Years…For five solid years, King Gerald had me and my Beta locked away in his dungeon. He made sure I had no visitors, not even my parents. I was starved and tortured me like a fucking criminal, and every often, his sorcerers come here to visit, and they catty out some crazy examination on me, trying to find out if I had anything to do with the missing scroll. No matter how hard they try, they still couldn’t find anything in me, and their feedback to the king is the same as always, they blame it on the moon goddess, and they warn the king to stop trying to challenge the will of the moon goddess, but the asshole refused to listen to them. No matter what they said to him, he still believed that I had something to do with the scroll, and he vowed to get it out of me, “I know you did it, Maverick Huntington. I know it was you, and I’m going to get it out of you, and I'll end your pathetic life!” he threatens me always. I never bothered about his threats because I know
Valerie’s POV“I’m sorry Alpha. Please forgive her, she is only a human.” Mr. Dawson pleaded on my behalf, acting like a fucking lapdog. I never knew that he is the Alpha that everyone is talking about. And even if I knew he was the one, there is absolutely nothing that I could do about it because there is no way to remedy this situation. I made a mistake,No,What the hell am I even saying?We both made the mistake, so I don’t know why he is looking like an angry bird. We can just let it go and move on with our lives as if it never happened, but he isn’t ready to let go. Even after getting an apology from the manager, he still glared furiously at me. I know I should feel remotes because I just spilled drinks on the Alpha of this pack. But I don’t feel remorseful, I feel no pity for him. In fact, I think he deserves to have drinks spilled on him on a daily basis. He is such an arrogant and proud asshole. I owe him no apology.“Let her speak for her, Dawson!She has a mouth, doesn’t sh
Mavericks POVDeep down in my heart, I know that there is something special about this girl. I felt it the moment she bumped into me, I felt a sense of elation that I’d never felt with anyone else before. It felt so magical, so strange, it felt as if she was touching my very soul. She has a fire within her, a fire that I admire and detest at the same time.She is stubborn…So damn stubborn!The moment I caught her glaring at me, I knew she was human, not only that, I saw her defiance and I knew she is untamed. At first, I wanted to just scold her for bumping into me and leave, but her sharp remarks and negative comments made me want to strangle her on that spot. She is cute…That fact, I can not deny. She has an amazing body, the kind of body that men go to war over, the king of beauty that every guy desires. She is dressed like a stripper, her undressed state made it harder for me to concentrate on our conversation. I couldn’t her scanning her sexy body with my eyes. Her stomach Is
