VALENTINAI stared at him in disbelief. Mouth agape and heart was drumming in a crazy beat.“H-how do you know I'm here?” I whispered, stuttering helplessly. The way he appeared all of a sudden confused me a lot. How did he realize?His low chuckles reverberated through my head, and I heard his deep whisper, "You think only your family has the blessing of masking scent?”“Oh?!” I gasped, watching him in disbelief. So he knew?“Tell me, were you looking for me?” His questions rang through me.“I—I was— Ogh!” My words turned to a gasp when he nuzzled my neck, sending shivers deep down my spine.His calloused hand touched the side of my face, caressing me as though I were a delicate flower.It is observed to be soothing and beautiful. His touch is so magical that I was drawn into a state of enchantment.I wished to remain in that state, cherishing this blesse

VALENTINAUpon waking the following morning, I found myself drowning in profound sadness. Curiously, I had not felt such a heavy burden even after the betrayal by Atlas and Sienna.It felt as though an immense foot, studded with countless sharp needles, was pressing down upon my heart. Suffocating me to the point that I couldn't even breathe in the fresh air.Sitting on the bed, disheartened and dishevelled, I felt discouraged to even lift one foot out of the bed.In my entire life, I had never felt so damn low, not even after the cruel infidelity of the people I trusted.Last night was marked as the disastrous night of my life, where my mate, after learning the truth, left without a word and turned back, and my wolf, perhaps, left me as well, leaving me to dwell alone in this world. The worst part?—I can't even say they're wrong to do that. It was never their fault, nor mine. It was just my cursed fate.Did she truly leave as well? I

VALENTINAI stiffened, holding my breath, unable to move an inch, even for a second.“You really thought you'd spy on me and I wouldn't know, Valentina?” His voice fell again, so calm and composed.‘And—we're caught.’ Kira muttered, sitting down in her usual place in the corner of my mind.For some reason, I didn't feel anxious or the urge to run. Besides, why would I? I am not the one who betrayed the entire pack and its people.Therefore, I turned around and found him standing against the pillar I had been hiding behind a moment ago. His brown eyes were fixed on me, a sinister smile at the corner of his lips."Is there anything to really think about, Sylva?" I uttered, inserting my hands into my pants pockets. I felt no rush or nervousness. My tone was composed of soft petals.“Isn't it you who should really think?” I asked, meeting his gaze directly.“You're the one who turned

VALENTINAThe hollow of life is full of sorrows and painful memories; at least, that is what I am experiencing.In the very darkest part of my soul lie those buried memories I thought I had walked past, but the sudden glimpse of something stirred all of it once more.It's weird, though. Apart from all my living memories, I also possess a memory of myself that I had never lived. It's quite intriguing for me to feel as though I had lived it when I didn't. What is happening to me? Am I losing my senses?I looked around myself, surrounded by my life's experiences, except for one that had somehow managed to send me to this darkest hollow of my soul I never realized existed.It's a completely new place to me. Strange, cold, and sort of unbelievable.I don't see Kira here, though, and suddenly her absence froze my blood.“Kira?” I called for her, only for my voice to echo through the hollow.“Kira, can you listen to

VALENTINA“Dead…” I repeated the specific word in a daze, staring at my father, dumbfounded.His brows furrowed even deeper as he kept his eyes on me, unmoved and somber.“Dead, huh?” I muttered again, and for some reason, I felt silly. Something snapped within me, perhaps my patience limit, and I chuckled abruptly.Everyone in the room was staring at me; their faces were covered by a cloud of shock and worry, yet I didn't care.I looked at my father, tilting my head with a dangerous calmness flowing through my veins. "And how did he die?”He stayed silent for a second before sighing lightly, "No one knows. His body was found in the cell with no trace of a weapon or any sign of poison on his body initially. Forensic experts are trying to find out the reason." His low tone rang in my ears like a thunderbolt that shattered my patience limit into shreds.I laughed out loud this time; the sound of my v
