VALENCIA’S POV
’And when nature calls out to , I serve it like a sexy lady,
No, you can’t put down,
I am a fire; gotta ignite your life with power,
Oh, you don’t an nothing at all to ,
But I still have to give you the lesson you deserve,
The sin of falling in love with ,’ I sang, dancing around the room with a comb as my mic.
Aurora chuckled at while Happy danced to the rhythm, bobbing his little head as he walked in the sa creepy style, his wings spread.
It was because he was so tiny right now and looked so cute while doing it that I just wanted to pull his cheeks and say, "Googly googly."
’You are happy,’ Aurora comnted.
I humd.
There was no reason to be unhappy about things.
There were so many things to do, but it had been so long since I last enjoyed my company.
Worrying about things constantly has made frustrated at even the most minor things, and I want to return to how I was before I found so many things.
I need to stop being wary of things out of my control.
If a situation is happening, I need to see if I can change it; if I can’t, I don’t need to worry about it anymore. I had too much on my plate and didn’t need to add more.
It took a one-hour self-introspection session, where I looked at the ceiling and pondered over everything.
I realized how I was losing the monts I was living because I was wasting precious ti worrying about the future that I didn’t even know about.
Who knows if we will be alive tomorrow? Was it worth ruining our day thinking about it?
The least we can do is keep doing what our karma is and then enjoy the process. It has always been about the journey and not the actual goal.
What would be the use of winning if I were winning at the cost of my happiness? No one would even rember us when we all die.
It’s like, even if we succeed, we will have to die in the end. And as much as this statent sounds negative, it teaches us to live in the mont and appreciate the people around us, their efforts, and their ti as they try to be happy with us.
Thus, it’s essential to surround yourself with people who have good values and can add value to your life and goals, who are ready to find happiness with you, and don’t lose hope.
’I am happy that you are so happy today. It fills with joy knowing I am inside a human who knows not to give up on life and tries her best to live life,’ Aurora said.
I smiled at her before continuing my little dance. I was about to change the song when I felt Alina’s presence near .
"Valencia," Alina looked at with an innocent expression, and I raised my brows at her, stopping the song.
"What is it, Alina? Is sothing troubling you?" I asked, getting a little serious now.
"The mainland witches are here," Alina said.
I nodded at her.
"What about them?" I asked, taking a bite of the muffin I found in Maverick’s fridge.
"Won’t you et them? The witches know about a lot of things. You can ask them about your curse," Alina said.
I scowled.
It wasn’t that I did not hear about the mainland witches being here, but rembering the last ti they were here and how they called my Happy a threat to , I didn’t want to allow them to badmouth people around again.
"I think I will pass. If there is a cure to this curse-like thing and I am bound to live a better life, it will co to . The universe will work and take there sooner or later itself," I said.
Alina raised her brows.
I am sure she found it hard to believe I was the sa Valencia saying such words when I have always been the kind to jump into trouble just out of curiosity because I like the sound of it.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" She sat on the sofa, picking up a random magazine.
I shrugged.
"Alpha Maverick will be back soon. I am waiting for him to help train," I said honestly.
Though Tyler was being well taken care of, I had this feeling that he wasn’t going to sit still and would definitely try sothing against .
I needed to be ready for that ti.
"That’s a good thought," Alina said before glaring at Happy, who narrowed his eyes at her equally.
I swear these two will end up in a massive fight sooner or later.
"I still think you should go," Alina said helplessly, making look at her suspiciously.
For a demon girl who has been running away from the witches and ca to with the sa excuse after offending the witches, she was definitely quite pestering about eting the witches.
"Alina, be truthful to . Are those the sa witches you offended, and now they are after you? Have they been threatening you, and you want to talk to them?"
Alina paused for a few seconds.
She kept looking into my eyes as if contemplating sothing, and I looked at Happy, who hooted towards .
I narrowed my brows when he took the feather from the ink pod. I kept it there for him and started writing.
"She is cooking up a lie," Happy said, and I chuckled at his words.
I don’t really think she was lying to in any matter, but I surely know she has been hiding quite a lot of stuff from . Honestly, I didn’t know if I should be involved in matters that didn’t consult and that I had no idea about.
"Will you tell what’s going on?" I asked her about it, and she was about to speak when the doorbell of Maverick’s apartnt rang.
"Soone is here," Alina said.
I humd.
"Maverick must be here. Let open the door for him," I said, narrowing my brows when I realized he could’ve just used the code to enter.
Why was he making walk to the door uselessly?
"It’s not Alpha Maverick," Alina said.
It isn’t?
Then who was it?
"Do you want to stay or leave?" I asked her nonchalantly, walking to the door.
I was about to go near the door when I stopped.
It wasn’t Alpha Maverick. With the increasing attacks on and that strange stalker keeping an eye on , what were the chances it was soone who wanted to harm ?
"It’s a girl," Alina said as if she could feel and hear what I was thinking.
"I don’t feel any bad vibes from her, for now, but --" She paused.
"But?" I asked.
"You can open the door," Alina said, and before I could ask why she paused, she vanished, making sigh.
Seriously, this girl needs to stop keeping curious all the ti.
Without thinking twice, I walked to the door and opened it, my left hand secured on the dagger on my waist, ready to strike if it was soone who wanted to harm .
However, seeing the girl, who looked at with the sa kind of confusion I had on my face, I tilted my head.
"This is Maverick Aurelius’s apartnt, right?" The girl asked .
The girl was clearly a she-wolf, and I could sense her wolf, ready to attack at any possible threat.
But why did she call him by his na? Where were the honorifics? Could she think I was a human because she couldn’t sense my scent and wolf?
That could be the reason.
I saw her raking her gaze over from head to toe, judgnt clear in her eyes.
Her gaze was offensive, almost as if she disregarded , and I didn’t like any second of it. Then again, I didn’t want to do anything or jump to any conclusions without knowing who exactly she was.
"He has gone outside for so ti. You can co inside and wait for him," I said and walked back into the apartnt.
However, I had taken only two steps when she held my elbow in a tight grip, forcing to turn around to face her.
"I know he is out. He asked to wait for him here. I want to know who you are and what are you doing here?" The girl asked .
Her brown eyes started to turn a shade lighter, almost amber, and I knew her wolf wanted to take over to show her dominance.
I had many ways to shut her up and show her where she belonged. No matter how important she was to Maverick, she had no right to treat and look at like I was so dirt staining this apartnt.
Even if she was being cautious, there were many ways to do it without letting the person know about it.
