A lot of things have happened lately and behind all that, I still can’t believe that Kyrie accepted my rejection.
I am sure she accepted my rejection because it’s probably one of her tricks for getting me to want to notice her.
She was always like that before. I am sure she is waiting for me to go to her and take back what I said. She was hurt by what I did, and she should have been.
That is how she is so obsessed with me that she doesn’t realize she is starting to bore me, but she looked extremely different a while ago.
Damn it. I didn’t know she could look that breathtaking when I saw her be awarded a while ago. Kyrie was always naturally beautiful, her deep blue sets of eyes complimented her makeover, and she looked so fresh.
It almost seemed like she wasn’t affected by the fact that I rejected her. I shook my head, she is affected by it, I am sure of it.
Strangely enough, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her, especially after we arrived at this party. She is probably doing this on purpose to attract me.
I will make sure to give her a good scolding when I get a chance.
“The Alpha King will choose to dance with someone, stay on the dance floor, everyone!” One of the hosts announced.
There are always encounters like that since he couldn’t find his mate. Four commanders were chosen for a reason, he would choose a future king among us who would rule his pack.
He chooses all of the powerful Alphas just like before since their generation couldn’t go on. Those who became king were always bound not to find their mates. It was a thing that was passed down years ago.
If they really couldn’t find their mates, they had to choose among his four commanders whom he would entrust his pack to when the time came that he needed to step down.
This is one of the many reasons why I had to reject Kyrie. Future Alpha Kings don’t have mates, they could get any woman they want, and they could bed anyone.
I was thinking she could be one of my women when I got the opportunity to get his title. I am sure I would win his position because of these idiots around me. She would be glad that I thought of her.
“Do you think he could find her tonight? He hasn’t found her yet, right?” Arnold asked, worry etched in his tone as he drank his champagne.
“Why do you think he started choosing commanders? He tried to look but didn’t have any luck.” James sighed deeply, “My son or daughter might be chosen someday, it would be saddening if they don’t have mates.”
“He probably doesn’t even want to dance with everyone.” William pouted. I wanted to walk away from their presence, they’re just too immature.
They’re always praying that they want the Alpha King to find his mate, don’t they want to be picked as king?
“Van, would you like a drink? I went to get us both one of each. We should dance as well, I asked you that a while ago.” Laine approached me while pouting.
I shook my head. She always looked appetizing to me in bed, but right now, she is none of my concern because of that woman.
“I don’t want anything right now, just sit here right next to me, we’ll dance later,” I told her to shut her up.
“Really? Yay! I thought you’d get angry again because of what happened, she is truly testing our patience.” Laine claimed, but I didn’t mind her.
For some reason, her presence starts to annoy me. I loved how much she performed to me in bed, I go crazy for her, but now, she is asking for so much attention.
Everyone was surprised when the Alpha King stood up, it was the first time we saw him that relaxed and engaged. Usually, he was always so tense and cold. I was betting that he would leave the party immediately.
That’s what my father told me, the past kings usually didn’t want to dance with anyone, and they felt more alone with their title.
“Woah, woah! He must’ve eyed someone in the crowd!” James excitedly screamed, his high-pitched tone made me want to cover my ears.
I wasn’t supposed to care about the king’s move, but his eyes were looking towards where I was staring a while ago. What bothered me was when he started to walk towards where she was.
The Alpha King was walking straight towards Kyrie. This bothered and frustrated my entire being. Why is he going after her?
Kyrie looked like she was too stunned to move or even speak until the Alpha King got in front of her and offered his hands, “Dance with me?”
Kyrie looked nervous, I was confident she wouldn’t dance with him but she accepted his hands which made me furious for some reason.
“I’d like that.” Everyone heard her say that. While watching them dance together, something was boiling inside me that made me want to walk there and get there.
I watched them dance and it seemed like they were both enamored with each other, their eyes not leaving each other’s gazes.
The Alpha king seemed pleased, I have never seen him that genuinely happy while staring at someone. I clenched my fists tightly.
I don’t understand why I was feeling this way. My heart felt like it was being squeezed even though I hadn’t gotten in touch with my wolf ever since I rejected her.
She just can’t be happy and be with somebody else without me, she loves me. I am sure she needs me.
“You are mine, Kyrie, no one else.” I clenched my fists. I almost stopped when Laine pinched my arms. Crap, that must’ve slipped.
“What did you just say?” Her voice almost cracked, “You’re only joking, right? Talk to me, Van.”
I only stared at her before shaking my head and dragging her towards the dance floor. She looked surprised when she blushed.
“Listen closely, Laine, this might be a trick to get me back.” I firmly told her, which made her stop before nodding.
“Yeah, she was always like that, we should’ve been together in the first place,” Laine claimed while giving me an adorable smile.
I smirked before twirling her, I always loved this about Laine. She always supports and diverts her attention to me about important matters.
“I have a plan, I need you to listen to whatever I say from now on so we can be together.”
Laine stopped for a moment before smiling, “If doing everything you say would make me stay with you forever, I would gladly follow you.”
I kissed her forehead before twirling her, “I am happy to hear that, I promise you, we would be.”
Laine looked pleased, I’d like to keep it that way. I would need her skills and expertise from now on.
Just you wait, Kyrie. A time will come when I can punish you for all the things you are doing right now.
You will come straight running towards me, begging me to take you back. I am sure of it.

The Alpha King’s question made me stop. I didn’t realize that the dance had ended and that he already dragged me somewhere I was not familiar with.
My eyes were roaming around the place, it was like a study room of a royalty. Everything, from floors, is a combination of crimson-colored carpets and rust-colored furniture.
“W-Where am I?” I finally spoke. My throat felt a little dry, and then he offered me water as if he knew I needed it.
I accepted what he gave and chugged it like my life depended on it. He watched me amusingly before shaking his head.
“I had to bring you somewhere peaceful, you started turning pale e a while ago like you have seen a ghost,” he informed me.
I bit my lower lip. I feel embarrassed to act like that right before him, “S-Sorry, I need to go now.”
When I stood up, he held onto my hands, “Would you like to stay here for a bit? Calm yourself and everything.”
“I-I can’t, someone might come after me if I stay here longer,” I whispered to myself, but he heard it.
“After you? In my study room? I doubt.” he confidently stated before placing the pitcher on his desk, “Did you do anything that broke our law?”
I shook my head, which made him nod, “Then there is nothing for you to worry about, relax there.”
“You don’t understand, he could kill me. I can’t say his name, but he could do that.” I bit my lower lip.
The room fell into a hush, the kind that presses against your ears. He leaned back, using his desk as support, his arms crossed defiantly over his chest. His gaze locked onto mine, piercing and intense, what was he thinking?
“Say, Kyrie, do you want some help?” I heard him deeply ask. I squinted my eyes before looking towards him.
“You see, I have a little bit of a crisis right now. I need someone to stay by me to protect my image against people who have plans on taking my place.”
I was surprised with what he said, “What do you mean?”
“I need you to pretend as my mate in exchange for me helping you.” he smiled, one that I found devious and attractive at the same time.
To be continued…
Valkyrie Behati“Your mate? That is such a big responsibility to fake.” I was bewildered. Why on earth did he suddenly think about that?“I have my reasons, you have yours, which I will not force out of you unless you want to share it.” he casually told me.I squinted my eyes and massaged my forehead gently because it was slightly aching, “So if I pretend to be your mate, you’ll protect me?”He nodded proudly, which made me sigh deeply before scratching the back of my head. I have to think about this thoroughly.For the record, I don’t know what is happening in my life right now. This doesn’t align with what I experienced back then in my first and second life.I didn’t meet or interact with him, so now, I am confused as to why I am inside his study room and we’re currently having negotiations.“I don’t need your protection, involving with you might make things messy.” I confidently claimed.“Are you sure about that? Why did you turn pale a while ago?” he raised his eyebrows judgingly,
Valkyrie BehatiHe paused, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that seemed to probe the very space between us. “Why did you think I would hit you, Kyrie?”His voice deepened, tension tightening his jaw. “Did someone hurt you before?”I shifted uneasily, my hand clutching my chest. “I-I... I'm not comfortable talking about it right now. Can someone take me to my room?” I asked, lowering my head.The room was silent when Matt gently led me out of the study. A wave of relief swept over me, grateful that the Alpha King chose not to press the issue.A while ago, the atmosphere had been light and easy. Now, it felt oppressively heavy. I couldn't shake the feeling that it was all my fault.“Hey, are you okay?” I flinched when Matt decided to speak beside me, which forced me to look before nodding.“Yeah, I kind of feel bad reacting that way, but can he blame me?” I bit my lower lip before sighing deeply, “You’re probably thinking I am weird now.”He amusingly shook his head, “You ar
Valkyrie BehatiI was making my way toward the meeting hall with Matt, he was the one who gave me all of the things I needed to be prepared for that meeting.For some reason, he wanted me to wear a dress. I was not comfortable with it but decided to wear it either way.After all, my main goal was to piss Giovanni off. My presence together with the Alpha King would do that.Matt was whistling an off-tune song before tapping my shoulders, “Can you tell me something about you?”I turned to him, “What would you like to know? You have already researched about me, I am sure you know half of everything.”“Guilty as charged, is it true that you were rejected recently?” Matt asked, “It’s alright if you are not comfortable to answer it.”“Yes, I was rejected three days ago,” I casually told him, but it seemed like he wasn’t surprised before nodding.“You look like…you’re not affected by it,” he stated the obvious.Me being rejected happened three times already, and it would be strange if I woul
Valkyrie BehatiI woke up when I felt that someone was putting blankets around my body. I opened my eyes slowly and saw him.“A-Alpha King?” I raised my tone, but it broke.He stopped moving before sitting at the edge of the bed, “I heard you were extremely tired and were not feeling well, are you alright now, love?”“I-I think I am.” I rose from the bed and forgot that I removed my dress a while ago and was now half-naked right in front of him.I gasped before hugging myself, “Could you please turn around? I need to make myself look decent.”My mind was still in a daze, maybe it was part of the reason why I was taking this whole situation calmly.“Decent? You look decent to me right now.” Alexander firmly said before pulling me to sit on the side of the bed.I hugged the blanket close to my body while he was pulling me, “I-I am serious, I am half naked right now—then I will remove my top too,” Alexander cut me off and unbuttoned his polo shirt. I watched him casually toss that aside
Valkyrie BehatiThe next day came by, we were finally on our way to Hotel Grandia.I was trying to control myself because I kept fixing my skirt even if there was nothing to fix. Alexander just keeps staring at me.He has been that way ever since we left the mansion. I feel like he does not approve of what I am wearing right now.I should’ve chosen silver instead of cream. I mentally scolded myself and tried to pretend that I was not distracted by his heavy stares.“Alpha, you are making her uncomfortable.” Matt finally broke the silence inside of the limousine, which forced me to shift my gaze toward him.Alexander coughed as if he was trying to compose himself, “What? I am not doing anything, Thew.”“You were staring at her for two hours, five minutes, and thirty seconds. I also have a video of my accusation towards you. Don’t deny it.” Matt firmly stated.I laughed out loud at his statement, my reaction seemed like it surprised them since their eyes shifted toward me.“Tss, fine, t
Valkyrie BehatiWhen cameras started flashing before my eyes, I knew that my whole life would change. Those who spend so much time on social media would not take this lightly.It was a good thing I don’t have any social media accounts for them to stalk. My privacy is safe, especially my past.The cloud pack will probably be surprised if they see this on the news, but I couldn’t care less. They can think whatever they want.Everyone started clapping their hands. Most of them looked confused, but some of them were genuinely happy.Matt was nowhere around so anxiety was spreading across my body until the lights went out. Crap, it’s happening!All of my senses heightened and I felt that Alexander held onto my waist tightly, “This isn’t part of the party,”I didn’t mind his statement and observed our surroundings, I stopped when I felt some eerie presence backstage.When that figure slowly approached us and raised its hands, I swiftly pushed Alexander away. I felt my hands burning after th
Valkyrie Behati“You will die here!”“You will never be happy!”“You are mine!”My eyes shut wide open before I rose from the bed I was sleeping in. Sweats were forming on my forehead.Nightmares, they’re finally visiting me now. I blinked my eyes several times and remembered what happened at the hotel.“A-Am I healed? Was I poisoned?” Confused, I touched myself, “Did I reincarnate again?”My eyes wandered down to my body. I was wearing a comfortable nightgown, and a dextrose line was attached to my wrist.I looked around and noticed that the room did not look familiar, “Where the hell am I?” I bit my lower lip before pushing myself to stand up.The door suddenly swung open and revealed to me Alex, whose silver eyes widened when he saw me.“I-I um—Alexander?” My breathing hitched when he rushed towards me to hug me tight as if he had lost me for ages.“You were sleeping for days, thank goodness you’re awake,” he whispered as if he was so worried about me.I shook my head before gently
Valkyrie BehatiThe next day came by. I slept in, waking up late after a night of writing. Everything feels hard to track now; so much has changed.But it seemed like what happened in the past will still happen, only with shifts and changes I can’t quite explain.It’s making me anxious, but I have to keep it together since there is a backup that I never had before. Alexander.After massaging my head several times, my eyes peered on the bedside table and noticed there was a letter, it came from him.“Meet me in the gymnasium, choose the right on the west wing. Wear your training clothes.” I read before putting it back.A squeal escaped from my mouth as I rolled on my bed like a vegetable wrap. I am finally going to learn to get stronger!With no time to spare, I sprung out of bed like a rocket and dashed straight to the shower to get there immediately.After slipping into my comfortable clothes, I dashed towards the gymnasium even though I was not sure where it was located.I halted af
