"Don't you want to have a feel of it?" Valerie was asked by Richard. She immediately declined the offer. "Why decline this, this is your best bet, you can end him now." Valerie thought to herself, still desiring to have a feel of that sword, and, may try her luck, to kill Richard at that instant. She thought of other ways to navigate her possibilities of using that sword against Richard. No ideas came to her mind. It was already too late at night, the almost full moon shone brightly at that hour. It was really getting late and Valerie thought of leaving. Richard tried convincing her to stay, likewise is his fierce and arrogant nature, she too was fierce and arrogant but hers were masked with shyness and quietness. Those masks can be removed if you push her too further than she can move, and that was exactly Richard's situation. He was getting to persuasive than she can endure. "No problems if you want to go, but just say you're going to be my woman for the rest of your life." Richard said. "Yes... Yes I will." She agreed but with other intentions in mind. Its the wolfsbane sword that did the mental overturn for Valerie. Her acceptance to his proposal was to draw her close to the sword. She feels her destiny is to kill Richard, with the sword at her disposal, her destiny is nothing more than being a reality. "Sorry, Richard, I can not sleep here tonight I've got to meet Anglo." "But can I come over whenever I want?" Those last words from Valerie did all the trick. Richard now has to feed on her assurance of coming back to him. Valerie plan were very simple, let him fall so deeply and blinded by love, this will really to do justice and bring to reality her revengeful urge against Richard. Back at home with Anglo. With her very anxious cheeky face, Anglo smiled so widely as she can't wait to filled in on all that went on at the Barrow's mansion "Tell me, tell me all that happen, his parents liked you right? How did they treat you? Did you two do something intimate?" She was so on about Richard and Valerie. Although, all she wanted was some explosive romantic connection between them. Anglo wanted and desired to see the soft side of Richard. She believes no man is completely a demon, there are also good and sweet sides to a bad person. She feels the arrogance, pride and intimidation Richard portray is all but a manly cover up to their very soft and childish side. Anglo derives pleasure in making a man weak and becoming submissive either to her or any of her friends. She fully understand her friend, her will to kill Richard. Anglo, is just one lady who doesn't believe killing a man for his sins is just enough to pay for his sins. All her life has been devoted to bringing men on their knees before her. that is how Anglo has been that is why she is keen on Richard and Valerie. "Nothing, absolutely nothing happened." "You know how much I've devoted my life to kill Richard, why would you make him meet me like this" Valerie said with a plain unfriendly look. She feels Anglo shouldn't be getting things all messed up for her. " I just wanted the best for you okay" "Just what if he is destined to be your mate for, and not that Gregory was even your father. Must you take out your revenge this way." Anglo spoke with a little bit of frustration in her time. "You mustn't kill Valerie, you can turn him to your puppet if you want and I can make you do that" Anglo sat close Valerie as she tries to make her throw her mind off killing Richard. " wouldn't it sound nicer to hear Richard not being able to have his freedom without you giving it" "That's not what I want, my folks and I have all planned to give justice to Gregory, a justice that was denied of him by the weaklings of this kingdom" Valerie's rage could be felt throughout the room as it suddenly got quiet. "Inasmuch as you want to kill Richard that bad, you cannot kill him, Valerie this is something you can never do." "This may come off as a discouragement, but Valerie this isn't you, you can't kill someone. let's do this my way" Anglo pleaded with Valerie. "That is what you think, Anglo." "This may not be who I am, but killing Richard is definitely what I'm going to do" Valerie said confidently to Anglo as she undresses. She reached out to her silky and slightly transparent gown as she cleanse her body of ritual paintings. Her n*****s stood firmly inside the gown, quite visible to the eyes, her gown also revealed her very sexy curve as her skin shone from the reflection of the room's light. Anglo still wanted her to see her reasons and kill off further ideas and plans of killing Richard as she termed them "impossible." The argument went on for minutes, seems like it would never end. "So you finally agreed on meeting your mate, though, for the sole reason of just killing him right?" Anglo asked, this time feeling tired from all the argument "If that will bring me so close in taking out my revenge and bringing justice to Gregory's death, if it's just that, then I agree." Valerie also answered feeling tired from all the pointless arguments. "I want us to make bet" Anglo said. "What is could this bet be?" Valerie replied. "Kill him after having s*x with him. I just want to know if your heart doesn't change after that" Anglo talking authoritatively. "He would definitely want to have a bit of you, so this is to your advantage. Let tell shame about his death, dying by his stupid love for a woman. That will be his greatest downfall." "But my bet is, you may suddenly have a change of heart after the s*x, I bet you can't kill him after that, you just have to prove me wrong." Anglo said. "s*x will never and can never change my heart. Richard shall die my hands." "I fully accept your bet, so what is in for me if I keep to them." Valerie asked seeming inquisitive of her reward after the bet is in her favor. "I give you my bracelet of protection passed down to me by my ancestors" Anglo said "you shall also give to me the wolfsbane poison you've been preparing for Richard, I mean all of it, your two years worth of creation" As Valerie pondered on the bet she just made with Anglo, she thought of how she could execute such plans without being suspected. Anglo just triggered a reminder, Richard is no regular werewolf, not your regular alpha wolf either. "Do I really have it all sorted out?" Valerie thought to herself. "What if it all goes south?" "What if I get killed myself?" Valerie got drown in her thoughts. She needs a really strong plan to achieve her most desired wish, killing Richard. Having s*x with Richard is no case to worry about, Richard seems to be a very s****l being. But men like him cannot so careless, even to s*x. Men like Richard cannot easily let their guard down just because of s*x, they are even more careful in their most vulnerable moment. "I can try the love game." Valerie still thinking to herself. "He will completely loose his guard once he falls terribly in-love with me" "Can I make him fall terribly in-love with me?" Valerie said to herself feeling so unsure of the situation she is trying to create for herself. Valerie has only fallen in love once in her life, which was an abominable and unthinkable one. She didn't give any try or put in work for her only love interest, at some point she feels love well never happen to her. "Or I can just take him out at his slightest vulnerability, this opportunity are really rare but are very possible. I just have to look out for them." Valerie thought to herself, her thought were getting deeper as time passes. Anglo couldn't help but feel her friend is worried about something, and she feels she could help. "You're lost in your thoughts, are you thinking of our bet? We can call it quit if you too pressured about it." "You don't need to stress it, I know, it is a very difficult bet. You're definitely going to lose to me" Anglo spoke looking very caring, putting her friend's safety into consideration. Valerie, still doesn't want to give up on this bet, in fact, she can make do with any help or suggestion that can bring her success. "Anglo, I still want this bet to go on, I really need your help." "Killing Richard has been my wish all time." Looking so helpless, Valerie asked her friend. There in no point of return for Valerie at the moment. Anglo began to accept this, she couldn't do more to take her friend away from the desperation to kill. Anglo could vividly remember, a certain full moon. Valerie was so hostile and aggressive she wanted to go on a suicide mission, to kill Richard on her own unprepared. Her eyes turned yellow, she turned all furs, completely turned to a werewolf. She growled deeply in anger, she raced towards Richards park. She plans to solely fight and defeat Richard and be head of his park. Being faster on all fours, Anglo had to stop her suicide mission. She stopped Valerie on her way, she jumped on Valerie as she attacked Valerie with her claws. Valerie had to put up a fight too, to get Anglo out of her way, though still considering not killing Anglo. A powerful dive in manner to attack Anglo with her claws too, Valerie reciprocated. Anglo dodged it as Valerie missed her attack. They stood apart on all fours growling at each other, Anglo blocking her way to kill Richard. Turning back to her human form, Anglo finds a way to cool off Valerie aggression and also bringing her back to her human form. They both stood naked in their human form, their skin shone under the full moon, their curvy body was also evident under the moon. "Even if you have a death wish, please not this way, Valerie. Please stop you are not prepared yet." Those were the words Anglo could remember she told Valerie as they retreated back home from there. From that day, Anglo has always tried to convince her from killing Richard. Back to reality, helping Valerie execute her plans of killing Richard, was something Anglo never planned on doing, she doesn't entertain such thoughts. This night, she just has to help Valerie out. Anglo just have to give her the best advice and idea she could think of. "There are more vulnerabilities when one falls in-love, no one can avoid such vulnerabilities when they come, even men like Richard cannot resist them either." "Let him fall deeply for you, you'd definitely get your chance once he does." The advice sank through Valerie, knowing she just thought of it. Valerie never thought it was going to get to the point where she has to make her enemy love her before she can kill him. "Valerie, this is the only way out. But I don't think you can do this, you may fall for him too." Anglo said. "I won't fall, I'll make sure of that. Remember, love is not for people like me." Valerie said as she laid back at the bed. "If it means having a love affair with him before I can fulfill my wish, then destiny can have it. I'll make Richard fall so deeply for me till he thinks of nothing but me." Those were her last words as she slept while Anglo looked at her for a while. As though, giving up on convincing Valerie on not taking suicide path of killing Richard wasn't enough, she has to look out for her friends safety for her future ordeals. Anglo went out of the room, walking late at night, almost 3:00am, Anglo found her way to Luna's hut. "Anglo, its late already, what brings you here though." The old lady asked Anglo. "I can tell, you're look so worried. Come child tell me all that bothers you" The old lady beckons on Anglo as she offers her a sit in her hut. "I need your help lady Luna, my friend plans on killing herself..." Anglo was abruptly interrupted by the old lady. "The young lady earlier, I see." Old lady Luna said "Her destiny is twisted, you can only stand by her, there is no going back for her." "I can't see all clearly, but a lot is going to happen in her life, you just have to be by her all the time." "Don't forget, I'm also here to help you too. Don't worry too much kid, your friend will absolutely do fine" The old lady gave her assuring words, those words were beginning to sit well with Anglo as her fears slowly begins to fade. Away from world of the werewolves, there is a world, or rather universe of humans as they, humans see it, lived on independently from the werewolves. These once one world was supernaturally divided a long time ago. Before the separation of these worlds, the werewolves were seen as gods and protector of humans, that protected them from vampires and the undead. The vampires, undead and even the werewolves once hunted the humans for blood before a great covenant was done. These covenant made between the humans and werewolves, the blood covenant. In buying the trust of the werewolves, all human race will have to donate blood to the werewolves for the werewolves to protect them from other human hunters. The human race diligently carried out this covenant with the werewolves without complain. All things went wrong when alpha wolves began turning humans to werewolves. This threatened the very existence of the human race. It moved from a mere fear of the werewolf to complete hatred of the werewolves. Some crusaders sprang up, preaching, werewolves and the human race aren't suppose to live together. Some went afar with their hatred for werewolves, they began hunting and killing werewolves. The werewolves already grew a bond with them, they never wanted to hurt them even with all the hate from the humans. This called for the supernatural demarcation of the worlds. The bond between some humans and werewolves couldn't be denied, most of which caused some humans to cross the line of demarcation through a portal to the other part. Werewolves could most times cross the line of demarcation to protect humans from the other human hunters. Some other reasons might be the werewolves crossing to hunt for humans rather than protecting, while humans do cross just to have s*x with a werewolf they might have an affair with. This happened over the years and generations, but was known to all as two different worlds. The crossing was only done by people who had the power to, not everyone has just any access to it. Valerie has one met a human in orogun, the werewolf world. That was the first time, Valerie, ever met a human. She had only heard of them from stories her dad told when she was much younger, though her dad never told her the bad side of the story, she still hated the humans for ever hunting them. She thought of ways of crossing the lines and taking out her hatred on the humans. Valerie's aggressive nature was born with her, once she hates something, all she thinks of is getting rid of it not caring about what it may cost her. But her meeting a human changed her thoughts and perceptions about humans, though in a way she never expected. She met the human, Alex Tim, while out on the field with Anglo when she was sixteen. Anglo just left for her house when, Alex came asking for a plant that only grows in that field. "Excuse me, I'm looking for where the Syca plant grows, can I find it here?" Alex, looks to be teenager then, he was well built for his age with a chiseled body, he was quite tall for his age with blonde hair covering his face partially. Valerie couldn't help but admire. Her admiration for could seen on her face as she blush with a cheeky smile. "Excuse me, can I find the syca plant her?" Alex had to repeat himself because Valerie looked lost in her admiration for him. She got hold of her feelings, finally, replying Alex. "Over there, just follow my lead" They walked quite a distance. "What do you need them for?" Being inquisitive and trying to make Alex talk to her, Valerie had to ask. "I was bitten by a demonsnake, I was told only the syca plant is an antidote to its venom." Alex said. The demonsnake venom takes just five days before you start having paralysis until it kills you, within this five days if you don't take an antidote before the paralysis start, it becomes incurable. The Demonsnake is peculiar to both the werewolf and human world, but only the wolf world is blessed with its antidote, the syca plant. "I was bitten on my arms" Alex showed Valerie the bite mark as they moved closer to their destination. "Oh sorry! That looks to be painful, is it?" Valerie felt sorry Alex as she touches his skin. "Yeah, it was, but do you expect that I cry all the time" "Or do you want to see my crying and then tag me a momma's boy or a big baby" Alex said as he smiled, his smile was so beautiful. Valerie couldn't help but chuckle as they moved closer. They uprooted the plant, Valerie helped squeeze fluid out of the plant into Alex's mouth. In just a moment, alex went into a deep sleep. Valerie watched him all the time he slept. It was getting late she wanted to go home but couldn't leave him there. Moments later, he woke up surprised that Valerie was still there. "Hey, you're still here. You shouldn't have left it's dangerous here, and it's late already." Alex said as he tried sitting up. "I couldn't leave you all by yourself. moreover it isn't that dangerous here, I live close" Valerie said. "I'm sorry if I stressed you, I didn't know it would make me sleep this deep." Alex said. "Thanks for staying with me, I think its about time we leave here." He stood up from the ground, stretching his hands to Valerie to help her stand too. "I'm Alex, and you're?" "Valerie, I'm Valerie" She smiled again as she said her name. "It's late, do you live close?" She asked, as they moved closer to her house. "No, I don't stay close, I live far away from here" "Don't worry I'll find my way home." Alex said. Valerie began to be worried about his oddly hour journey to his far away home, at same time confused on what to do for him. "This is my house." She pointed towards her house. "And that is my room on the right, if you can't make it home just come by my window, I'll sneak you in" They both parted ways, Valerie got home. She was awake all night just waiting to see if alex would come back. It was getting to late, in the middle of the night, she decided to give up and have her sleep. "Hey! open the window, I can't make it home this night" Alex came back just when she had given up on him returning. Alex was sneaked in by Valerie. Her room was quite small for a sixteen year old. She had pictures of the greatest werewolves ever lived, hanging on the wall. She has just a sofa and a study desk for her high school studies and project. Her bed was quite small, it can't fit in two person, and Alex plans to sleep the night at her room. "You can have the bed, Alex, I'll take the sofa." Valerie said to Alex who was still standing close to the window that he came in from. "Nah, don't worry I'll take the sofa, I'll do fine over there" "Its your room, I don't have to take that privilege from you please." Alex said sitting on the sofa. "What of your parents, what if they come in anything soon" Alex asked looking a bit worried of the circumstance he finds himself. "Don't worry about that, it's late already they won't come checking till morning" They had quite the chat all night till both slept off, Valerie on her bed and alex and on the sofa. "Valerie, its time to wake, your food is ready." Valerie's mom could be heard behind the door. Immediately, Valerie woke up, Alex was also awake, Alex moved quietly to the window as Valerie helped him escape through the window. "Mom, I'm having a little headache, I'll be coming out soon" She said trying to cover up her visitor, she moved around troubled as she also changed her clothes to meet her parents. "Wait, for me here I'll be coming out soon, please don't go away" Valerie whispered to Alex. "Okay, I'll be waiting" Alex replied as he stood by the window outside the house. "I'm coming mom." Valerie said loudly as she moved out of her room, heading towards the dinning. "I can't eat here mom, I'm working on my science project, I'll be taking my breakfast in my room" Valerie said as she hurriedly took her meal to her room. As she took her meal to her room, she called out to Alex in a low tone just knowing if he was still there. Alex stood outside the house obediently. Valerie left her room through the window, while Alex helped her out and they shared the meal together. "Can you take me around for a while before I leave here?" Alex asked as they ate her breakfast together. "Sure, I'll take you anywhere" Valerie replied happily with a smile and her mouth full with the bread she was eating. Valerie had taken Alex to several places. From her tribes historical monumental sightings, to graveyards of great alphas. She also took him to the building used for the blood covenant between the humans and the werewolves. Alex looked a bit different when he got to the building, he felt tensed for a while. She tried to know his sudden change of mood, but he wasn't saying anything. Two hours later, they retired to the field where they met the previous day. It was so windy, they sat on the ground, smiling and making jokes. Valerie was already growing fond of her new friend, she never knew what that feeling was, but whenever they had an eye contact she could feel a strong sensation in her chest. She thought he felt same, which is not far from the truth, he also felt same sensation. "Could this be love?" Valerie thought to herself silently. "Why do I feel like this suddenly? I haven't felt this for anyone before." She thought to herself. She kept the eye contact, even with the confusion on what she was feeling at that time, she was enjoying and entertaining all she felt as she stares lustfully at Alex. It was getting late, in order not to repeat same scene that happened the previous night. Alex stood up to take his leave. "Time to go, I hope to see you again" Alex said. Sadness filled Valerie's face. "Can we really meet again, you said you live far away" Valerie replied. "Yes, I live really far from here." Alex replied. "How far do live? What tribe are you from." She asked. She was beginning to think of how she can pay a visit to him. "No need for that, but if you want I can leave you with something to remember me" Alex said as he lowered his face and pressed his lips against Valerie's. It was just for a few seconds and the kiss wasn't that deep. He stopped. Valerie had to make do with this opportunity as she doesn't know when next he was going to see him again. She dragged him back to her, using her hands to hold his face softly and gently as she kissed him more passionately this time, sucking his upper and lower lips. He grabbed by her the waist, pulling her more closer to him, he reciprocated the passionate and intense gesture. They went on for minutes, Valerie wished it would never end, but Alex had to stop by pulling his face away. She wanted more as she brought her face close to his, on her tippy toes because he was taller. Alex wasn't giving in on her demands. "I'm sorry, we shouldn't be doing." "I need to go now, its late" Alex said as he pulled away from her. "Do you really have to go, you can stay one more night please." Valerie pleaded, she haven't had enough of him and wants more. "I need to go" Alex said as he move quickly away from her. He walked so fast into the woods. Until he got to the line of demarcation between both worlds. He brought out his pendant said some incantation, suddenly a whirlpool could be seen close to him, it was the portal opening for him to leave to the other world. "Are you human?" Valerie shouted out in anger and disappointment. Valerie had never known all the while, thinking he was a werewolf like her. Alex never knew he was been followed by Valerie. "Yeah... I just came here for the syca plant that can only be found in your world" "I have to go, thanks for all the help, I have a lot to tell you but I have to go now. I hope we meet again" Alex said backing the portal whirlpool and moving closer to the portal. "Wait, you still have a lot of explaining to do" She cried as ran closer to the whirlpool, before getting to Alex had already vanished into thin air and the portal closed. She fell to her knees as she cried out loud. "Why did you come here?" "You have a lot to say Alex" "I hate you Alex" she cried out in frustration and pain knowing she had fallen for a human, humans she hated her whole life. "Oh, Valerie, you look so stunning today." Richard said to Valerie meeting her at their family's gallery where he once showed her. Valerie visited Richard, since she set her eyes on the wolfsbane sword at Richard's house. Her hunger to use the sword on someone increased tenfold, this hunger doesn't look to be quenched anytime soon. She was just here to feel the sword as she wasted the opportunity the last time she was here. She wore a pink gown that outlined her curvy body, her skin was ever glowing. "Thanks, Richard, how've you been?" Valerie asked, this time her smile looked different from that of the mating bonfire. She looked friendlier than Richard's last meeting with her. "I've been good, you don't look so uptight today, I guess, you missed me, right?" Trying to maintain a friendly and accommodating interaction, but, Valerie couldn't help being irritated and annoyed of Richard bluffing. She tried to maintain calm and avoid showing her irritation towards Richard "I'm in a very good today, I'm sorry for being so uptight the last time we met." Valerie replied. She went closer to the legendary sword, pulled it out of the its sheath, jokingly tried to strike Richard "Oh! easy with that, that's no toy, Valerie. Put it down now, please" Richard exclaimed as he begged Valerie to put the sword away. "Did you come to see me or play with that sword?" Richard asked her, still from a distance to avoid being stabbed by the sword. Valerie laughed as she pulled the sword closer to him. "Who still uses a sword now." "I'm just trying it out, just knowing how it feels like when one pulls a sword from the medieval period" "If I wanted to kill, I would use a gun with filled with silver bullets, not a sword" She said mockingly as she laughed. Deep down she wanted to use the sword against him, but being careful is her utmost priority at the moment. Richard, seeing Valerie isn't ready to put the sword down anytime soon, went a little closer to her.
