Chapter 44 Trauma

• Warning: Trigger ahead
• Valerie's POV
• I was yet in another place that I didn't envision that I would ever be- the Alpha council. It was a big building with marble floors, high ceilings, and walls adorned with intricate carvings. The air was thick with the scent of old books and power. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I stepped into the grand hall, surrounded by the most powerful werewolves in the region. The Alpha council was a place where decisions were made, alliances were forged, and fates were sealed. It was almost like the human court of law. The only thing making me not feel out of place was Klaus' constant reassuring presence.
