The Raven Wolf King: Wolfless novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

~Valeria~

Entry One: This is my new diary. The last one is filled… blah blah blah, I hate Valeria, blah blah blah…

Entry Two: The night of the mate festival… I’m going to be a princess! A prince asked me to be his mate. Well… a bastard prince, but it’s a start. I told him not to mark me yet, insisting we should court properly, but that’s only a ruse. My real plan is to meet his brothers-the legitimate princes. One of them will be easy enough to charm, and then I’ll secure a higher seat as princess. At least, that’s what Mother says. And the funniest part of the night is that Valeria got rejected!

Entry Three: Valeria has not come out of her room since the Mating Banquet. It’s been weeks now, and I can’t help but laugh. I knew she would get rejected if she ever found her fated mate. Who would want someone like her? She’s pathetic.

Bitch!

Entry Four: We had to leave home. Today at the Castle, I met him, my true male. A man named Grimm. I rejected him on the spot. What business does that lowlife have being tied to me? And Jett. why does it hurt so much to reject him? I don’t want hi

is she up to? I hate her. She’s probably trying to outdo me. But what person in their right mind would ever want her? A wolfless nobody. It’s so embarrassing to have a wolfless as my sister. The clothes looked expensive, but they surely cannot be from a prince… can they?

Entry Six: Every time he sees me, he is like a damn wounded puppy. It’s so unattractive! Uh, I hope Valeria never finds out that I have a servant for a mate. It would be so embarrassing.

Entry Seven: Today, at the second ball, I rejected him again. I swear he almost cried this time. But then those stupid crows attacked the ball, and that’s when I met Prince Raphael. He is so dreamy. Why couldn’t he have been my mate?

Entry Eight: Something is fishy with Valeria and the princes! I’m not sure, but I think they’re sending her gifts! What is she up to? I refuse to think that any of them is truly after her affection. I think she might be whoring herself to them. That would make sense.

Entry Nine: NO! NO! NO! NO! Emmet found his true mate! He broke it off with me! This can’t be happening! Why is this happening? None of the other Princes even look at me. This is not how it was supposed to happen! I have to be desirable! I have to find a male! But now I am alone. What am I going to do?

Entry Ten: I think Valeria is trying to outshine me! The nerve! Who does she think she is? She can’t compete with me But 18:37

That fucking bitch… Jade knew exactly what she was doing.

Entry Eleven: Now, Valeria is after my mate! She can’t have him! He is mine! Mine mine mine! But now, Mother seems afraid of her, which is odd. She urged me not to stir up trouble with Valeria. That has never happened before. Why is Mother so afraid? She’s been acting so erratically lately. Won’t even go outside, and when I asked her why, she muttered something about those damn crows.

I close the diary. Jade doesn’t know anything, and if anything weird was happening with her, I’m sure she would’ve written it here. But Mother, on the other hand, has been acting strange-

and even Jade can see it.

I put the diary back where I found it and give it one last look, muttering, “Bitch.”

I go back to my room and slip out into the hall, glancing both ways to make sure no one is coming. Quietly, I slide into my parents’ bedroom, my eyes sweeping across the space. “Where do I even start?”

I move slowly, trailing my hand along the furniture as if touching everything might guide me. Drawers first-people always hide things there. I know I do. Jade’s diary was tucked away in her underwear drawer, after all. But here, nothing.

Beheck the closet for hidden boxes. Still nothing. I begin to 18:37

on the other. It doesn’t look like much, hardly evidence at all. But when my fingers touch it, pain sears my skin. Silver.

I hiss and drop it to the floor.

Why would Mother have silver in her belongings? This is something that hurts our kind.

I open one of the drawers and take out a blouse to cover my fingers with. With it, I pick up the box and attempt to open it, but it doesn’t budge. It’s tightly shut.

Maybe it’s nothing-just a simple jewelry box. But I can’t take that chance. I need to be sure.

I carry it back to my room and tuck it away, hidden from sight. Just as I finish, a knock rattles my door, making my bones nearly leap from my skin.

Grimm stands in my doorway when I open it. “Hey, just wanted to see how you were doing.”

I open the door wider and let him in. “I’m good. Almost perfect, to be honest.”

“That’s good, ’cause you really gave me a scare there.” He looks down as if searching for words. “I mean… I thought you were dead. When I was carrying you out, you… stopped breathing… I couldn’t hear your heart. I was freaking out.”

“Well, I’m fine, and honestly, I owe you, Grimm.”

“But I didn’t do anything.”

Impossible… but two close calls? First the fall and now this? Isn’t that even more impossible? What if I did die on both occasions? No… this is crazy talk. It has to be.

“How would that be possible, Grimm?”

“Why do you have such an interest in the Raven Wolf King?” he

asks.

“What? What does that have to do with this?”

He looks out the window and doesn’t say anything, but I feel like he’s on to something. I only started getting interested in the Raven Wolf King when I fell. I’m in deep denial if I believe coming out of that so unscathed was normal.

“It’s nothing,” he says.

“You know something, don’t you?”

He stares at me, but I can’t read him. The seriousness in his eyes unsettles me. He knows something I’m sure of it.

“Grimm,” I call for him.

“No. I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he responds. “I just found it all so strange.”

“Uhm, so, have you thought about what we talked about? Joining the Royal Army?” I ask him.

“No. I probably won’t. Mother needs me close. Are you actually doing it?”

“I… am giving it serious thought. It would be good to take in all that knowledge-fighting, tactics, all of it.”

“I guess you’re right. But I’m still not convinced.”

“Ah, so you’d rather carry heavy boxes from room to room.”

He laughs. “It’s not a bad gig. Pays the bills. Anyway, want to hang out later? My friends and I are getting together at the tower. You should come.”

“Maybe I will.”

He gives me a wave and leaves the room. I get up and begin to close the door, but my sister’s voice gets my attention.

“Why are you with my sister?!”

She’s just arrived. I leave the door cracked, peeking through the narrow gap as I listen in.

“She’s my friend,” Grimm says.
