51. LURKING IN THE SHADOWS
VALERIAThe Altar was beautiful.Whoever had created it had clearly put great effort into it, but it lacked the intense, dark energy that had drawn me to the other one.At the foot of several snow-capped mountains, with massive waterfalls cascading in the distance, stood the altar in a clear space within the pine forest surrounding us.Its base was circular, covered in arabesque carvings that, in reality, didn’t convey anything meaningful.Above it, the statue of a beautiful woman stood, draped in a delicate, sensual veil and tunic, representing the Goddess.Her hands were open, her head tilted toward the sky, and behind her, wings extended from her back as if she were about to take flight toward the stars.A large, round disk, also filled with exquisite carvings, completed the stonework behind her.For a moment, we were all struck with awe.Even Aldric and the Alpha smiled proudly at their pack's Lunar Altar.I wondered if he knew it was fake—like many things in this strange pack.Th
52. THEATER TOUR
VALERIAI immediately walked toward the bed, my heart tightening in my chest, but I sighed in relief when I saw him open his bright blue eyes, very much alive and well."Thank you so much, Miss Valeria, for helping me at the park," he said in a soft, polite child's voice that melted my heart.The saddest part of all, given my possible infertility, was that I had always loved pups."You're welcome, little Edward. I just did what anyone would have done," I replied, sitting on the edge of the bed.He smiled sweetly, and his small, soft hand reached out to grasp mine, which rested on the blanket.He looked so lonely in this dark, isolated room.I didn’t need to stay long to realize the “defective” child was clearly not the favorite."Could you open the curtains, please? It's too dark in here," I asked the maid, and for a moment, I felt Edward’s hand tense against mine.But when I looked at him, nothing seemed wrong, and he quickly relaxed.The heavy curtains were drawn open, letting sunli
53. KIDNAPPING
VALERIAI don't know what kind of mystery the King is hiding this time. I just hope he’s not plotting another one of his tricks to trap me in his Casanova games."Miss Valeria, I need to pee," said the timid voice suddenly, tugging on the sleeve of my dress."Now? Can you hold it just a little longer until your father arrives?" I asked, but he shook his head, fidgeting anxiously in his wheelchair."Oh, Goddess, how do I solve this now?"I thought about taking him behind some bushes in the forest, but when I asked the woman sitting next to me, she mentioned there were public bathrooms nearby.I grabbed Edward's wheelchair and we headed that way.It was located on a street near the square, at the end of a narrow alley.But when we arrived and I saw men coming in and out of an old wooden door marked "Public Restroom," I ran into another problem.How was I supposed to enter a restroom full of men?It was impossible, so I decided to take him to the women’s restroom next door instead."Wait
54. FAILED PLANS
VALERIAI pushed the wooden door, which was barely hanging on its hinges, and it let out a loud creak.Inside, the stench of mold, rotting wood, and decay hit my nose like a slap, my eyes adjusting to the overwhelming darkness.Beside me, I noticed some remains of wooden beams from what used to be a doorframe.I picked up one with my trembling hands, playing the heroine once again.What I was doing was far too dangerous and reckless—I knew that.But I couldn’t just let them take him right in front of my eyes.I couldn't lose another pup, or I would never forgive myself.Step by step, I ventured deeper into what seemed like the entrance hall and then into a living area, keeping a watchful eye on the floor where the wooden planks were lifted in some places, leaving dark, deep holes with no visible bottom."Miss Valeria!"Edward’s tearful voice called from above, and I immediately raised my head, spotting him at the top of the staircase, trapped between the shadows and the beams of moonl
55. SHE IS MY MATE
ALDRICWhen I arrived at that square and didn’t see Valeria, my blood ran cold.I immediately tried to call out to her through the bond, but she seemed too far away.I followed her scent like a madman until we found the Alpha’s son’s wheelchair abandoned in an inner courtyard.Some people shared bits of what they had heard or seen.She was in trouble again—reckless, chasing after a stranger.I knew she was doing it for the pup, but risking her life like this, exposing herself to danger, made my blood boil with the urge to bend her over my knee and spank her for her foolishness.“Valeria, I won’t punish you if you’re safe. I swear I won’t even scold you—just please, stay alive.”I begged in my mind, running at full speed through the pack, nearly shifting into my beast, leaving the Alpha struggling to keep up behind me.But when I reached that decrepit house, I could feel the rats escaping through the back. I didn’t have time for those men—I would hunt them down later.Right now, the ov
56. YOUR BLOOD IS MY ADDICTION
ALDRICNow that she was feeding on my powerful lycan blood, toxic and poisonous to any female, if I still had any doubts, they were completely gone."Easy, little one, don't rush, Val. I'm not going anywhere. It's yours, my whole life is yours," I whispered, kissing her sweat-dampened forehead as she went wild, sucking from my neck, biting me deep with sharp fangs.The pull of her mouth on my vein sent shivers of pleasure down to my cock, making me growl low.My body reacted even against my will. Giving life and strength to his mate was the greatest pleasure for any wolf, and I was no exception.Now that I was sure I could save her, I dared to remove that sharp iron from her chest."Hold on a second, baby. It's going to hurt for a moment," I warned her, wanting to spare her from the agony, but it was impossible.I bent the tube with my hand until I heard the "crack" of the fracture, almost flush against Valeria's chest, who moaned painfully against my neck.The worst part was still
57. THE SECRET NOTE
VALERIAHe threatens me, and then immediately leans over the nightstand, rummaging through the drawer.I can't see clearly, but I notice him putting something in his mouth before he moves over me, pinning me to the bed and devouring my lips.He grabs my hair in a fist, while his other hand grips my neck, not letting me escape his delicious invasion as his tongue tangles with mine.Something slips down my throat, and I panic. What did he just make me swallow?His fingers dig into my cheeks, forcing me to keep my mouth open."Don't fight, Valeria. Trust me. It's a medicine to prevent scarring."I stop struggling under his dominance, trusting a man again, hoping this time I’m not making another mistake.He wouldn't save my life just to end it afterward.I swallowed some kind of slimy pill, and immediately, warmth spread all over my body, but especially beneath my left breast.Aldric stopped kissing me, yanking my gown open, and his mouth trailed down to lick and suck my breasts, cupping
58. SEDUCTIVE LIE
ALDRICAn urgent report arrived from his patrol: they found the remains of those three men at the edge of the pack's territory."It's obvious they eliminated the witnesses. How did they get into the pack if they were supposedly exiled?" I asked the Alpha, who looked at me nervously."They... it seems they blended in with the traveling theater troupe that moves between packs.""The guards didn't properly inspect the caravan," he answered, avoiding my gaze—the kind that screamed, you're an idiot managing your security."Alpha, I need the information you mentioned about the Altar," Quinn suddenly spoke up.It seemed like this time he hadn’t deciphered those damn words so easily."Now? But the ball..." he trailed off at my expression of: I couldn't care less about this ridiculous party.I had attended for appearances, but I was dying to go and corner my Valeria."Of... of course, Guardian... I'll be right back," he stammered before standing up to open the door and leave.I heard him nearb
