Chapter 150

~Valerie’s POV~

My throat tightened. I opened my mouth, ready to lie—something flippant, anything—but I didn’t get the chance.

Because just then—

"Valerie!"

A voice screamed my name, and before I could answer, another voice followed sharply. Then a last, loud and clear.

"Vi, you in here?"

Before I could react, the suite door creaked again—because clearly no one believed in locks anymore—and Axel, Ash and Xade strolled in like they owned the place.

My eyes widened. I stared at the ceiling, debating whether I should leap out the window or fake a coma.

Instead, I just... face-palmed.

"What the actual fuck," I muttered. "Is this a harem meeting I missed the memo for?" I said louder, glaring at all three of them now crowding my room like it was some kind of royal visitation.

Axel looked sheepish.

Xade grinned. "So... this is what sick looks like, huh?"

"It looks good on you," Ash complimented.

"You’re not helping."

Dristan rose to his feet, stepping in front of me like a shield. "She doesn’t need an audience."

"She doesn’t need you hovering either," Xade shot back.

"Don’t push me," Dristan warned.

Oh hell. Testosterone levels were rising. And I hadn’t even brushed my damn hair. No sooner had their verbal challenge occurred than Ace came into my room, his eyes softening when he saw me.

"You’re okay."

"Yeah, I..."

"What’s he doing here?" Axel asked.

"What are both of them doing here?" Xade questioned.

"None of you should be here at all."

"Enough," I growled, sitting up straighter, hands on my hips. "What is wrong with you people? Is there some mate radar I don’t know about that goes off the second I skip class?"

Axel lifted his hands in surrender. "We were worried."

"Well, now I’m really feeling better," I snapped, throwing them a look. "Ecstatic, even."

They went quiet.

Dristan exhaled slowly. "We’ll talk later," he said, staring at me with something that wasn’t anger but definitely wasn’t peace either.

Then he looked over his shoulder. "All of you—out."

And like that, the battle lines were drawn.

And I was smack in the middle of it. In pyjamas. With dream-sweat still drying on my neck.

I threw my hands in the air in utter surrender. Perfect.

No sooner had I done that than a message popped up on my phone screen. I picked up my phone to check it when I saw Uncle Zade’s initials on her screen. freёweɓnovel_com

I swallowed, my grip on the phone getting stronger. I clicked on the message icon and opened it.

Just as my mind predicted it was concerning Solstice. She was missing nd furthermore, Uncle Zade was preparing to come to my school.

Shit!

Zade: Solstice has vanished. She didn’t leave warnings or state where she was headed. I am coming. I’ll reach the school this week in search of her. If she’s there and hiding, you’ll help us bring her home.

Me: No. Please don’t come. I have eyes here. Storm can come instead. I’ll dig up something. Just—don’t risk exposing my position, and you could send Storm to check my school instead. If they see you here, they’ll know. Please trust me."

~Kai’s POV~

I stood by the hallway, watching one heir after another pour out of Valerie’s room like goddamn dogs sniffing for blood.

Ash left first. Then Axel, followed by Xade and even Dristan, stormed out looking like he wanted to punch something—but not before tossing a glare toward anyone who dared look at her door.

I’d stayed hidden by the corner, not from fear, but from restraint. I didn’t want to go and get into a fight with Dristan if he somehow had made Valerie not see us.

Kaiser—my wolf—was pacing, restless in me.

"She’s hurting."

"I know."

"We should go."

"We can’t," I cautioned him, but he wouldn’t listen.

"We will. Now."

I didn’t argue anymore.

The second Dristan disappeared around the bend, I pushed forward. The hallway was still. The tension in my chest wasn’t.

I reached her door, didn’t knock. I just stood there for a breath, collecting myself, and then I walked in.

She looked up the moment I entered. Her face was pale. Her eyes were rimmed red. But she smiled at me like I was a lifeline. It wasn’t a big smile, but it was real.

That was all it took. I closed the distance between us and kissed her. Not because I planned to but because my heart and soul demanded it.

And Kaiser howled for it.

I wanted my mate, needed my mate.

And because Valerie needed it, even if she didn’t say it out loud.

Her lips moved softly under mine, hesitant, then certain—like she’d needed the connection just as badly.
