The next day Valerie went for shopping with Maya.
Both Maya and Valeries never usually go shopping. They are not that addicted to it.
But Valerie wanted a make over. She wanted to transform herself before going to the pack it was not like she felt inferior to anyone or that she was not uncomfortable with her skin.
She loved herself and she knew that she was pretty, but what she wanted now was to be the center of attention, she wanted all the looks and everything for herself
At first, she hated the attention and never wanted to mingle with the crowd, but now she was going to take away all the attention from Jasmine
They went to the most expensive store and bought at least ten expensive dressed and causal clothes, Maya, without any hesitation spend a heft amount on Valerie and asked if she wanted to shop more
Valerie smiled and agreed, Maya was not an ordinary woman other than being the ex-pack warrior Maya was a business woman. She owned a successful company and was the boss of her own.
She loved to spend money on Valerie and even had a will prepared for her stating that Valerie will be the owner of everything after she died and for that Valerie was thankful.
The reason that Valerie was buying all the expensive things was that she wanted Jasmine to get jealous, Jasmine has always asked for whatever she has, anytime Valerie has something good she would ask for it.
Jasmine and her father had no idea how rich was Mya because Maya never told them and also because of their casual and simple lifestyle Jasmine also had the audacity to think that Maya was actually poor and that she couldn't afford the things she had for Valerie.
But now it was time to show her that Jasmine can never have the things she does.
After they were done shopping, Valerie saw the bill and huffed, "s**t Maya, I am sorry I made you spend so much on me."
Maya smiled at her and gave her a hug, "no worries cub, let's go and eat something." Maya said, and she nodded while they were eating. Maya asked, "Valerie, after you come back from the pack, you have to start with your college, I hope you remember that."
Valerie looked at her and nodded, "sure, Maya."
Valerie looked at her and said, "Maya, are you really not going to come with me to the pack?"
Maya looked at her and smiled before she shook her head, "Valerie, I can't, but you know that I will be just a call away if you ever need me, okay?"
Valerie was not convinced, but she still nodded. She really wanted to take Maya with her, but she knew that Maya was strong and she was really a deadly person and not someone you can mess with.
But she didn't want to leave her alone, she knows that it liked to be lonely and she didn't want Maya to get into any trouble, but she knew that if Maya went to the pack with her it would most probably cause her trouble.
After they were done eating, they finally decided to leave the place, but before leaving, Maya asked Valerie if she would like to buy a necklace, and Valerie agreed that she was going to buy a good collection and make sure that Jasmine sees it and gets jealous.
With how pretty she was and how easily she gets jealous, Valerie was sure that Jasmine was going to blow up by this.
After they were done shopping, they finally left the place and went home.
Once inside the house Maya and she went inside the house and Valeries started to pack her things and after she was done packing, she started to practice her magic; she was going to at as good as she can before she leaves for the pack and meets with those people.
Once inside the house, she locked herself in the room and started to learn magic. The spells that she wanted to master first were the protection spell, defense, and then the attack spell.
These three were the most important.
There is a healing spell as well, but her werewolf side was enough to care for her healing
So she started to practice, Maya came to check up on her before she went to sleep, Maya wanted to help her as well, but she was not a witch and knew nothing about magic, so all she could do was be supportive and give her, her favorite chocolate shake.
Valerie sat in the middle of the room on the ground and started to meditate which was not so tough Valeri has always loved to meditate, ever since Maya had saved her ten years ago and put her into therapy meditation was something that gave her a piece of mind and she loved doing that.
So once again she started working in her magic.
~~~
Maya was sleeping peacefully on her large comfy bed, she felt so warm and soft but her sleep was broken by a very loud noise like a bomb had dropped on her house.
She jumped out of her bed and ran outside to Valerie's room only to see that the other side of the house where Valerie's room was burned and was all black and broken her face paled as she ran inside the room and yelled, "VALERIE!"
She ran their bare feet, not caring about getting hurt, "VALERIE!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs but once she reached Valerie's room, she saw her standing in the middle of the room with no harm done to her.
Valerie, who herself was baffled by the strength that she put she thought that she was just putting a small amount of magic, but now that small amount resulted in such a deadly result.
And when she heard Maya's voice, she ran and looked at the door only to see a shocked Maya and as soon as Maya saw her she ran to her and engulfed her in a tight hug Maya released a sigh and then broke the hug and then looked at Valerie up and down to see if she has got any injuries or not but thankfully that was not the case.
"Are you okay? What happened?"
Valerie smiled and reassured her, "I am fine Maya perfectly okay and nothing happened. I was just practicing this spell and it required a little amount of magic but what I thought was little was a lot and so that explosion I swear I didn't do it in purpose and I was just practicing and-"
"Shush." Maya said as she hugged her back and said, "I am just glad that you are okay as long as you are fine everything is okay house is nothing e can build more or buy a new one."
Valerie didn't know why, but she got emotional suddenly and hugged Maya back tightly, if only Maya was her real mother, how good that would be.
But one thing was certain in this world: Maya was her one and only family, and she loved her more than anything.
After they broke the hug Maya said, "now I will call someone to clean this up."
However, Valerius stopped her and smiled, "let me show you what I learned."
She said and then closed her eyes before she used her magic to restore everything back to it's original state and to say Maya was impressed would be an understatement. She was in awe after she saw all this and smiled brightly.
"That was wonderful! Oh, my cub, you are so talented and lovely! Well done. " She praised before she clapped her hand and smiled at Valerie.
~~~
Valerie did not feel tired at all and was rather happy by her achievement. It was early in the morning and time for her to go for her usual jog.
She loved to run in the woods, and as usual, she went to the woods and started running. She loved nature, the huge trees and the damp and green ground, the silence and the chirping of birds; the slight rustling of the leaves and what not.
It was so relaxing and so nice that she wanted to stop running or get out of there. She ran and ran before she came deep into the forest so that she was in the heart of the forest.
She then laid down on the ground and stared at the cloudy sky, oh she loved the cloudy sky so much, but her rest did not last longer as she heard some moving sounds.
She heard rustling and quickly got up from her place and stood up before she walked in the direction from where the voice was coming and once she reached near the bush and saw pst it she saw a man lying down on the ground wounded and groaning with pain.
And once she saw the man she was baffled and shocked because she knew who this man was the same man who comforted her in the last few seconds of her life , the same man who made her smile the last time in her life, the same man who told her that he would trust her no matter what.
lifeThis man was none other than Skyler.
