Valeriane.
“Card.” The guard spoke, his face frowned at the sight of mine. “Show me the card.”
“What?” I mumbled.
My lungs tightened with fear as his eyes darted around the area, I was worried Lucian will find me here or worse, someone else will.
“You can’t get entry without a membership or atleast an invitation.”
“I know, I want to meet-“
“They all want to meet someone.” He laughed cutting me off.
Panic clawed at my chest, I didn’t think things through, I just knew I wanted to see him, his wolves won’t let me see him unless I have a good reason.
“Please.”
“Look don’t be pathetic.” He mumbled angrily. “I have things to do, people to attend to.” He yelled.
There was no one here but me, I felt a sharp pain radiating through my chest, I bit my lips for a second, I need to see Malachi, I have no idea what this feeling meant, what this aching sensation felt but I only knew one person that will make me feel sane
Better.
I felt small beneath his stare.
“Can you just tell Malachi, Val is here, please he is going to know, I promise he will explain everything, he invited me to the club, he gave me the card.”
“Where is it?” The guard asked, his eyes scanning around, I didn’t have it. Regret clawed its way through my veins.
His jaw ticked, his eyes shuts for a second, mumbling a curse under his breath.
“Listen, I am going to say it once and I would ask you to leave, no membership, no entrance.“ He yelled. “Do you know how many girls come here with some son story to tell, let me tell you, you are not the first person to do this and I promise you, you will certainly not be the last.”
My chest skipped a beat, I felt my eyes burning with tears, when I shook my head, struggling to push back every feeling that I felt.
“I know, I just.” I breathed out when I got cut short by his heavy gaze on me. “You don’t have to believe me, I understand you don’t want to lose your job either, but please, this is important to me.”
“Do you need me to get some guards to throw you out of this place, this is not a charity and it’s certainly not a place for girls like you, maybe try someone else, this is the best club in the city and I hate to embarrass you but.” His eyes gazed down to me.
His curses sliced through my thoughts, it was low and yet not subtle, he could gaze down at me angrily, before pretending to write a message on his phone, his eyes, he looked like he could be anywhere but here.
My heart cracked silently and a tear slipped out of my eyes, maybe this is a mistake, I should have never come here.
“Get out before I get someone else to do it.”
Embarrassment crawled through my veins when the door slammed open, I heard a curse from inside the club, and a woman yelling back, I watched as the woman stormed out.
Her chest heaving heavily with anger,, her eyes was filled with tears, I must have stared at her too much because the next thing I knew her eyes snapped to mine and I froze.
Her short dress hugged tightly around her body and she held her shoes on the other hand.
“What?” She yelled, “what are you looking at?” She asked.
“I’m sorry.” I breathed out.
My nerves jangled with thoughts.
She stared at me for a moment, her gaze fell on me, almost as if she was reading my body.
“Are you here for Malachi, I won’t be surprised.” She mumbled angrily.
Panic slammed into my chest.
how did she know that?
Words threatened to spill out of my mouth yet I was unable to make a full sentence.
“Are you dumb? Are you here for Malachi?” She asked and I didn’t speak.
Tension flowed through my mind, my fears almost slipping out of me.
I was worried she will tell someone, I can’t trust a random woman I just met and she didn’t look any happy with the name Malachi at the moment.
“Everyone is here for him, they all want a piece of the Alpha, but you know what, no one will want to tell you this but you need to be careful, especially when it comes to men like him.” She uttered the word angrily against the tip of her lips. “He will give you the best in bed but that only comes with ruins, you know how they say good things only come at a cost, that’s what it feels like when you sleep with Malachi.”
My mind blanked out, guilt ached inside of me, who is this woman and what did she know about the Alpha.
“Uhm I-“
The words struggled to spill out of my mouth, I felt shame tightening my gut, I let out a breath, while trying to calm my nerves.
My throat felt dry for a second when I felt my fingers quivering against my body.
I didn’t know what I feared the most, her finding out why I came, or her telling the story to anyone else, this is something I can’t explain.
“You look too innocent to be here, if I were you. I won’t be here, you don’t want to be tainted.” She mumbled at me, she wipes her tears and flashed a frown at me.
What did Malachi do to her? Why did she seem so disoriented.
“I slept with him, Malachi, he f***s good and roughly, just the way I like it, he always knows how to make a woman lose all that tension, you see that tears in your eyes, Malachi always finds a way to make you cry for good reason, you should see what he did to me, how good he f****d me on that bed.”
Her words sliced right through me, it hurts more than I expected it would, my heart cracked silently as she stared at me, one glance at her, and I could tell she wanted a tear slip out of my eyes
She didn’t even know who I am, and yet she could tell who I came to meet.
“You slept with him.” I whispered so low, the sound of my heart beating was nothing compared to the throbbing in my ears.
She bats her eyelashes at me.
“I did, but sadly he is not into relationships.”
She whispered, her voice almost slipping away.
“But he is incredible in bed so it’s all worth it.” She flashed me a smile. “Many girls wait for a turn, Malachi is a magnet towards women.”
Panic rushed through my veins. My heart sank at her words.
“Uhmm.” I pressed my lips against each other.
“I’m sure you would love to have a chance with him, tell me is that why she is here?” She asked turning to the guard.
My chest tightened at the mere mention of him.
“No.” I blurted out, my fingers crossed, hoping she will believe me.
Her eyes gazed down to my clothes, before she flashed me a weirdly odd smile.
My heart filled with disappointment, my body still felt his touch, yet her words had so much power over me, my eyes darted to the hickey on her neck, the hide he gave her.
“He is a great lover in bed, you should see the way he took care of me, I screamed and I begged but he didn’t stop, Malachi is the type of man, when he sleeps with you, he will make sure you never forget who he is, he will make sure his memories will be constantly on her mind.” She smiled, her eyes glimmering with emotions.
I should not care, my heart should not ache, my mind should not be filled with thoughts, my body desired Malachi but I feared my heart will feel the same, I feared how he made me feel would turn into something else, that mere thought scared me.
I don’t want to fall for the heartless Alpha.
She is right about one thing, he is not easily forgotten, I could barely stop thinking about him, I haven’t slept with him. His touch, the way he made me feel, how I ached for him afterwards and now I am here.
Reality slammed into me, my breath getting heavier with each thought I had, my legs shaking when I took a step away from her.
I could barely push back my tears, I stumbled behind my feet, a tear slipped out of my eyes, I turned to leave.
“I wonder who the f**k Valeriane’s is, and why Malachi will moan her name during s*x?” She mumbled to herself.
My breath stopped completely, my stomach dropped instantly, Malachi said my name during s*x, thoughts poured into my mind, he was thinking of me, but why? How long has he been thinking of me.
Feeling stirred inside of me, did he feel the same way I did? This aching, did he care for my touch?
Emotions rushed through my veins so fast, that’s when I knew I am in trouble, I need to meet Malachi and get answers.
