My Alphas' Dark Desires novel Chapter 395

***************

~Valerie's POV~

"The betrothal between us is null." Kai's voice rang across the room for all to hear. "Stay out of my personal life. Valerie did not steal anything from anyone. I was originally hers, and I still am."

Gasps scattered everywhere.

Serena blinked once, then twice. Then, a slow, devastatingly calm smile spread across her face.

"Is it?" she asked softly. "Because… my father didn't sign anything annulling any betrothal."

Silence slammed through the cafeteria.

I felt it the rage crash through Kai. I could feel Kaiser's pulse as Kai's fist balled at his sides.

Serena, as bold as she was, dared to place her hand on his arm. My stomach twisted painfully. Astra stirred within me, ready to spring into action and tear her apart for touching our mate.

Isla whispered, "Oh shit."

Kai's jaw clenched, his eyes darkening for a moment. "Continue being deluded. Valerie Nightshade is my mate."

"A whore being shared by everyone?"

Something akin to rage and hit bubbled inside me. Just hearing her talk made me want to disintegrate her right there. And the second the thoughts crossed my mind, I saw fire light up in my mind's eyes, and something burned.

I could feel the usual tingling underneath my fingertips. It was only a matter of time before I did something stupid, loving and brave I'd soon come to regret.

So, instead of such, I simply rose to my feet. My gaze darted away from the duo to see Dristan, Xade and Axel by the second entrance of the cafeteria.

Astra surged immediately, pushing past my controls, to connect with her mates.

She whined internally, and then, Dristan reacted. His body moved as did the others, but everything was becoming messy, and I couldn't do this here with everyone in the cafeteria turning to stare.

I stood up abruptly. "I need to go."

"Val…" Isla reached for me. And suddenly ehr hands became very hot on my skin.

I shook my head. "Not right now."

Without looking at them or thinking further, I grabbed my tray and walked out, my pulse pounding in my ears as the air suddenly too tight.

"Xander… I need you. Please," I called out in my head, hoping for some intervention.

The last thing I heard before the doors shut behind me was Serena's soft, victorious hum.

Sadly, that was no longer my concern; it was what was happening to me. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

I tried calming down, steadying my emotions, and doing away with the anger bubbling within me, but to no avail; it did not stop.

My head snapped up as I looked from side to side in search of where to go.

I couldn't go to class. I did not want to stay back in school for fear of what I might do to someone or…

My eyes spotted a clearing not too far off on the West wing. Immediately, my feet moved, running in that direction, until I left the school buildings and got into the field, but no sooner had I passed the first tree than my body slammed into something… or someone rock solid.
