86. DISCUSSION
ALDRIC"I told you he would get mad at us, damn it! You’ve got the balls to face those bloodsuckers but not to accept our mate!" My wolf, as usual, throwing everything in my face."Aldric, what if my inner wolf never comes out? What if I’m… something stranger?" I asked hesitantly, catching a murmur from his lips.“Stranger? No, no, you’re not strange at all. Don’t worry, Vale. The moment one of those damn sorcerers crosses the border, I’ll capture them. If I have to, I’ll force them to undo the damn curse they put on you as a child.”“Your wolf will emerge and recognize us. We can make our race’s vow and mark you as mine forever,” I assured her.“Why? Aldric, have you ever considered that maybe your blind hatred is keeping you from seeing past the tip of your nose? I think you’re condemning everyone in the Dark Realm just because of your grudges. What if there’s a good sorcerer who wants to help me simply because they’re kind?”She looked at me with red-tinged eyes, anger flickering i
87. "BLUE SKY"
VALERIAFor this journey, two carriages were prepared—Quinn and Celine rode in one, while Aldric and I shared the other.Truthfully, things had been tense between us these past days. I suppose that’s inevitable when there are so many differences and secrets in a relationship.I had thought of countless ways to resolve it, but all of them led back to the same conclusion: I needed to tell him the truth, to be honest with him.Yet every time his hate-filled words echoed in my mind, my confidence crumbled.Watching the forest pass by, I remembered when I used to run through these woods like a lost soul until I reached Golden Moon.As the landscape became more and more familiar, memories of the past flooded my mind.All the pain and humiliation I felt that night when I lost my pup.“Are you going to keep giving me the cold shoulder forever?” A low whisper tickled the side of my neck.I felt the weight of Aldric’s head resting on my shoulder, his long hair brushing lightly against my arm.H
88. MY LITTLE RAVEN
VALERIA“Specters? Why haven’t you reported this to the Guardians so they can investigate?” Aldric interrogated him coldly.“It’s just… it’s just that there haven’t been any sightings in years. But in our pack, there’s a story—those who venture into this place are cursed, marked by specters to die later. That’s what happened to a couple, good people, members of our pack.”He spoke with his head bowed, sounding sorrowful. I had a strong feeling he was talking about my parents.“They found an abandoned baby in this forest, at the Altar, they said. Can you imagine? What baby could have survived here? We warned them repeatedly not to bring it to the pack, that the child was strange, but they didn’t listen. A few years later, they were torn apart by a specter, and only that abomination survived.”I clenched my fists at his words, wanting to lash out and defend myself, but Aldric beat me to it.“So, you would have left a baby to die in the forest out of fear?” Aldric interrupted, his voice
89. MY EX “DEAR” MOTHER-IN-LAW
VALERIA“Valeria, what’s wrong?” I suddenly heard Celine’s voice, and I looked up into her worried eyes.“Valeria, my love, what’s happening? Are you feeling unwell?” Aldric quickly approached, kneeling in front of me. His fingers gently brushed against my face, wiping away my tears.I hadn’t even realized I was crying, overwhelmed by intense emotions that were suffocating me.“I want to leave this place. I want to go back already,” I whispered, swallowing my sobs as I wrapped my arms around his neck.Without hesitation, he lifted me in his arms, holding me protectively against his broad chest.“Quinn, don’t take too long. Please, try to speed this up,” he instructed, his tone firm as Quinn stood, equally concerned.I felt embarrassed about making a scene, but I couldn’t help it. It was as if countless memories were crashing into my mind, bringing unbearable pain without offering any clarity.Aldric carried me back to the house in a near sprint, laying me down on the bed and staying w
90. THE SON OF DORIAN
VALERIAIt felt as though time had frozen, taking me back to that moment when she walked into the room and saw her son dead in my hands.I don’t regret a thing. Dorian killed my pup first, so an eye for an eye seemed more than fair.I squared my shoulders and lifted my chin defiantly. If she thought I was going to fear her or show her the respect I once did, she was sorely mistaken.I knew she might try to accuse me in front of Aldric. After all, my former friend Sophia must have seen my transformation. But it would be her word against mine. Let’s see who the King chooses to believe.“Alpha, I didn’t know there would be additional guests,” Aldric said beside me, his tone as cold and sharp as ever.“Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to greet you personally earlier. The Alpha didn’t inform me of your arrival,” she said, stepping forward and bowing with sickening servility in front of my mate.“And you are?” His Majesty raised a questioning brow.“I am currently acting R
91. BLACKMAILS
VALERIA"It's not necessary; I can clean myself," I said, grabbing her hand tightly when she tried to touch me."I insist, Your Majesty. I believe it’s best if you let me help you," she said through clenched teeth, pulling her hand away sharply."Is something wrong?" Celine approached us, probably sensing the tension."No, don’t worry. I’ll just go wash off this stain. I’ll be right back," I replied, trying to force a smile."Valeria, don’t wander off or go anywhere without us," Quinn warned, and I assured them I was only heading to the bathroom.I followed Anaís’s back. I wasn’t sure what she was planning, but I was certain she wouldn’t just stand idly by.The bathroom was close, and there was no danger in a house surrounded by guards."Go in," she said brusquely, opening the door to the small bathroom and motioning me inside."This doesn’t seem right, Anaís. We’re alone here. Just tell me what you want; I’m not going into a bathroom with you," I said, standing in the hallway with th
92. FINAL DECISION
VALERIA"What... what are you doing? I’ll scream..." Her pupils dilated with fear, and her heart pounded wildly."And after seeing me, after witnessing what I become, how dare you have the audacity to blackmail me, you miserable old hag? Do you want to end up like your son?"My rough voice growled close to her, the dark energy inside me surging, the urge to kill rising again.But I couldn’t do it here; everyone would find out, and she knew that too."If anything happens to me, someone else will show the King. You’ll be finished, Valeria! Don’t take the boy, but my position as Alpha—you need to secure it for me! My son died because of you, and now the other warriors are threatening to take his place!" she stammered, trembling all over."Think about your comfortable Queen’s throne. It wouldn’t be wise for me to expose you. This way, we both win, and I’ll forget you exist, forget the past..."Knock, knock, knock."Valeria, is something wrong? You’re taking too long," Celine’s voice inter
93. SPELLS AND DECEPTIONS
VALERIAIn the midst of my tears, I suddenly felt disoriented.Something dense filled my nostrils, a sharp pain pierced my head, and dizziness overtook me.I stood up, wiping my tears, and looked around. I couldn’t see anything—an opaque, white fog surrounded me, obscuring even the light of the moon.What was I doing here?I felt a bit confused, but my body tensed when I saw a woman emerge from the fog."Sophia." I instinctively went on guard.She had been my best friend, but she betrayed me with my Alpha, Dorian. I saw them together—yes, but when?"Did you come to celebrate your victory? To laugh at having deceived me while sleeping with Dorian?""No, I actually came to return this deformed thing that came out of your womb," she said, and I noticed the bundle in her hands.The white cloths were soaked with blood.My heart raced with panic. I didn’t want her to unwrap what she was holding—I had a terrible feeling that knowing the truth would break me beyond repair."Take it. This thin
