Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 120: The Menial Things/Remember Me?
Ares:She had been playing erratically all throughout the day and night. Nothing had changed since last I’d seen her and we did not part on the greatest of terms then. My little pet was not the happiest of campers when I intervened in her last meal. Though part of her, I’m sure, was relieved when I did interrupt her last kill as this one, unlike the others, was simply an innocent man trying to get home to his wife and children. I stood at her door for a moment, not saying anything. There was no point, to be honest. We both knew that she was not in a talking mood. I just needed her to know that whether she was in the mood to talk to me or not, I was there nonetheless. And with a present for her, no less.“I could only imagine how incomplete you must be feeling about not having your bow.”It was then that I relinquished the bag in my hand and gingerly laid it against her door. "These are specially made. Just for you,” I said. I was under no assumption that she would open the door fo

Alastair:“Where is it you last saw them?!” I asked through the pack link as I brushed through the forest to go after the pack of rogues that we had spotted along the city line. They weren’t like the others. They were uniform and in sync with their movements as they fled. These beasts moved with far more intelligence than the ones that we’d been tracking and killing of late. Had they smartened up as well as strengthened?Somehow, my gut told me that this was not the case. There was something different about these rogues. Either way, they needed to be put down. If they were strangers to Shadow Veil then they were enemies to Shadow Veil. “We lost them around the bend, alpha!” Toran finally retorted through the link. “They’re faster than I remember them being.” “I am beginning to think that these are not rogues at all.” John Minken chimed in. I was glad that he had as he was the mitigator of this thing. With John’s strategic prowess, this thing could be far less messy than it had to b

ARES:“So, are you going to tell me why you’re here?” We stood there, sizing one another up for what seemed like an eternity. I wasn’t one for these kinds of things. Situations like this truly did annoy me.“Or should I just kill you now?” It was the form of a question, but whether he agreed with it or not, in the end, I’d do what I felt necessary to protect Valene. Or what I wanted to do.Nevertheless, his response was what I had expected it to be. A smirk. The question amused him. However, I could tell that he knew not to underestimate my seemingly easygoing tone. “No need for threats or plays for dominance, alpha,” said the young man. He glanced up at the window where Valene was still playing her cell. Then he looked at me; he knew that I was becoming impatient with him. I didn’t like how concentrated he was on her.When he noticed that I was watching him watch her, he showed no regret for getting caught in his action. In fact, he seemed quite…content with the fact that I noticed
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 123: The Rarity Amongst the Rare Pt. 1
Alastair: We all sat at the table in the meeting room, me and my pack members across from Merari and as well as a few of her own constituents. It was blatantly clear as we all sat there at the table staring at one another that neither side trusted the other, and for good bloody reason. At least on our part that is. “I’m assuming that we came here to do just more than stare in one another’s bloody faces all night.” I finally broke the tension-filled silence between us. Merari stood across the table from me with a cold glare. She wasn’t happy with my impatience. And I didn’t care. Not one. Bloody. Bit. “I can…explain what’s going on, Alastair. You jus-” “Good!” I cut her off. “Because you bloody well need to!” I snapped. I didn’t want to hear any more vague explanations and excuses as to why she wasn’t being forthcoming. “You should calm down, Alastair-” “I am as calm as I am going to get, Merari!” I felt my anger rising uncontrollably. “You have been keeping secrets since the

Merari smirked as her gaze averted from mine again, but not in shame. I suddenly became even more uneasy about this Dronnigan bastard. Of all of those sitting before me now.“Is it me or have we just obtained a new potential threat?” asked John through the telepathic link.“We’ll keep an eye on them.” I replied.“You’re damn bloody straight we will!” hissed John before speaking out loud. “So, you’ve been going around feeding on inhumans, is what you’re saying.”Merari watched him, her lip twitching as if trying to fight off a grimace before she finally spoke again. “Could you imagine the looks on their faces when they saw that they could die just as humans could?” There was something triumphant she sighed and then shrugged. “We went from state to state, country to country…everywhere…living off of the blood of inhumans,” she said. I was so…shocked by Merari’s confession of her past. What was even more disturbing was the fact that I had to almost wonder if she missed those days.“I w
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 125: Temptation Pt.1
Ares:There was a hint of desperation in her voice as she asked me to stay. How could I refuse her?“As you wish.” I responded with understanding and an obligation to soothe her troubled mind as my goal and nothing else. I knew that Vale was not ready for anything outside of that, and I would not force her to make any decision contrary to those feelings.She smiled a soft smile and said, “Thank you.” “You do not owe me thanks, mimar,” I replied.I was not sure that this was what she wanted to hear as a snide smirk fell across her alluring lips before she turned her back to me and sat down on the side of her bed. “Oh? And why is that?” she asked, though I detected a hint of sarcasm with that question. “And don’t give me the bloody bull about you feeling an obligation because you’re stuck with me.” “Is it so wrong that that is the truth?” I asked.“Yes,” she murmured under her breath.For a second I wondered whether I was supposed to hear her answer or not as she had spoken so low a

“Valene!” I rushed to her and took her hand into mine.She did not budge but the tears freely streamed like mini waterfalls down the link of her flushed cheeks.“Vale, mimar…listen to me, snap out of it. You…are not alone. I’m here. Come back to me…I am here.”Her panicked breathing began to come in slower paces and her shaking frame became more steadied. Then slowly her eyes began to return to their beautiful flaming brown-yellow hue.“Are you alright?”She couldn’t seem to answer but the continuous onslaught of tears was a clear indication that she was not.Without another word Vale jumped into my arms and wept, arms wrapped tightly around my neck. I embraced her with no hesitation and I must confess that it felt right. “I’m here, love,” I cooed softly in her ear.We were settled there for what felt like eternity and still that was not long enough for me. There was something..complete about having this young woman in my arms; being her source of comfort was worth something without
Valene: Daughter of the Shadow Rogues Chapter 127: A Glimpse Into the Other Side
Tobias:There was always a curfew. Always an allotted amount of time before he’d send his mindless dogs to come after me. Sure, I was his most powerful tool, but that didn’t mean that the bastard trusted me. He knew that I wanted out of this. He knew that I wanted no parts of it. I wanted to get back to my own normalcy. Or at least what the nearest line to normalcy that I could get to for a man in my predicament. I wanted to get back home. To my family. I knew that would be impossible, however. For as long as I was under his control, there would be no family for me. There would be no life, and most certainly no semblance of normalcy. I continuously dashed through the forest and up the mountains until I reached a ridge that segued into a triangular gap. I was finally back. Looking at my watch, I breathed a sigh of relief. “Just in time.” When I finally got into the lair of my tormentor, I slowed my pace. This happened frequently when I was forced to come back. A cloud of questions
