Valerie.

　　I woke up in the middle of the night and adjusted my position on the bed.

　　I and Xander were lying completely naked on the bed and he was fast asleep.

　　I stood up from the bed and picked up my clothes on the floor. I put on my underwears and my clothes in the laundry while I put Xander’s clothes on the table.

　　I walked to my closet and picked up new sets of clothes, putting them on.

　　I didn’t know why, but I no longer felt sleepy even though it was still midnight. I sighed and sat on the bed. I remembered something and walked to my closet, bringing out my bag.

　　I opened the bag and brought out my phone. I had gotten one on the way back from my father’s coven.

　　I switched on the phone and went through it quickly. It was useless at the moment because I hadn’t made necessary configurations and I didn’t have internet.

　　I’ll have to use Jenna’s wifi in the morning. I glanced at the reading table and I decided to continue reading until I get tired and I’m able to fall asleep.

　　I walked to the reading table and pulled the chair back, sitting on it and picking up the book I was reading.

　　*Perfect thrashing. Good job Nolan.

　　I glanced around and saw the workers nearby quickly look away.

　　I knew what they were thinking. Probably that it’s only been two weeks since I started with her.

　　Pfttt. She’s lucky she lasted so long. The only thing those women wanted was my money and some good f*ck. I can’t have them around for too long.

　　I glanced at Nathaniel, my butler and smiled lightly.

　　“Now you don’t have to hear her mock your bald head,” I said and climbed up the stairs, reaching for my phone in my pocket.

　　Evelyn was going to be having dinner with David and I can’t have that woman steal my client.

　　Not that I cared since I was literally compelled into taking over as CEO of Walter Corporation. It was a competition now and my image was at stake.

　　I dialed a number and held the phone to my ear.

　　“I want you to find out the location of Evelyn Bennett’s meeting with Mr. Rowland.”*

　　I stopped reading as I began to hear Xander mumble unknown words, I looked over my shoulder and saw Xander shivering and sweating.

　　Ah, he was having those nightmares again. I sighed as I thought about the fact that those nightmares might never stop and might continue to hunt him.

　　I pushed the chair back and stood up, walking to the bed closely observe him. I touched his forehead and he was very burning.

　　I walked to the bathroom to grab a towel and a bowl of water. I was about to leave the bathroom when I noticed something through the window.

　　I saw a flickering of light in the distance and ruffling of leaves.

　　Who were they?

　　Xander.

　　I winced in pain as a silver plated wing tore through my arm and I let howled loudly, leaping into the air and pulling the vampire by the wings. I smashed him to the ground and I sent my spears right through his heart.

　　I looked around me to see several dead bodies. Several dead werewolves lying on the earth that had become red and blood soaked. All I could here was the clashing of swords, snarls, howls and the cries of wounded soldiers.

　　I locked eyes with a vampire and he snarled at me, dashing towards me and slashing his silver plated wings at me. I roared and bent to the side, quickly using the chance to stun him with a punch before plucking out his hands with my bare hands.

　　The vampires outnumbered us and I watched my fellow wolfs get killed by the merciless savages. I looked to the right to see Lena fighting off two vampires and using her sword to counter their wings. We had long transformed back into our human form after so much forceful reverting and we were all completed naked.

　　My eyes darted to a vampire sneaking up behind her and I stabbed the two vampires beside me with my spears before rushing towards her to save her.

　　I ran with every speed in me and was so close to her when a vampire smashed me in the fave with his wings.

　　I went tumbling to the ground and I looked up to see the vampire send his wings through her heart.

　　“Lenaaaaaa!!!” I screamed. The next moment, I was no longer in that battlefield and I met myself in a open space.

　　I breathed in, trying to recover my breath. The smell of freshly cut grass drifted across the meadow with the clippings scattered over the turf. The branches of the giant oak tree swayed to and fro in the wind, shaking the leaves, so they fell like raindrops, their green color fading and replaced by patches of brown.

　　The weather seemed perfect as the sun was shining and no clouds were in sight. The meadow was spacious, with a collection of trees and bushes guarding the perimeter.

　　Before me was a gathering of thick white fogs and I couldn’t see into it or past it no matter how hard I tried. Suddenly I saw someone appear before me and I looked closer to see a lady standing before me. She looked like Lena and the same time looked like…..Valerie. She was smiling at me.

　　She stretched out her hands towards me and I stretched out my hands to receive hers. As I tried to grab her, she was being drawn backward and I kept moving closer towards her.

　　“Grab my hands,” she said and I ran forward to grab her hands but she was drawn backward even more. I tried again and she continued being drawn backward.

　　“Grab my hands?” She screamed and I ran forward, her screams dying out as she got sucked into the fog that became black.

　　I gasped as I woke up from sleep and I looked around to see that I was safe and in Valerie’s room.

　　I stood up from the bed and seeing that I was naked, I began to remember what happened. A light smile lit up on my face and I looked at my clothes on the table.

　　I grabbed my pant and put it on. I grabbed my shirt next and was about to put it on when I saw Valerie walk out of the bathroom.

　　She looked surprised to see me awake, but she also looked alarmed.

　　“Valerie, what happened?” I asked.

　　“Something’s happening outside Xander,” Valerie replied and I was about to ask for details when someone knocked on the door.

　　“I’ll get it,” I said and walked towards the door. It was Nathan. He also looked alarmed.

　　“Nathan?” I asked as he panted.

　　“Nexus Soldiers. Nexus Soldiers are here.”
