Episode 12

Valeria se levanto de su asiento, annoyed. She didn't want to make a deal, and she certainly wasn't asking for charity.

"Mr. Osiris, I didn't come here to make deals. I just want what's rightfully mine, not a penny more or less. And your offer smells like human trafficking, no thank you," the suspicious girl said, while Osiris desperately wanted to burst out laughing. She was quite mouthy and defiant, and if she wasn't his mate, he would have killed her for sure.

"Well then, send your lawyer and we'll settle this in court. You won't receive a single peso from me, as this has nothing to do with me. I'm the owner and it was your responsibility to inform the previous owner, simple as that. So you can leave now, and my lawyers will see you in court," he said calmly, while Valeria turned pale.

Lawyer? She wondered. She didn't have money for that, and a public defender would never stand a chance against that snob.

"Fine, in case, and I'm not saying I accept, what if we make the deal? How long should I do the job you have for me?" Valeria asked nervously. She knew she was doomed, just like her neighbors who tried to find the damn ex-owner and he disappeared with a lot of money. They had no contract with Osiris Triente, so they literally lost everything.

"If you accept, it could be about three months. We'll have to travel. If you don't feel safe, you can bring your mother. I'm not a human trafficker, and you're not that exotic. So you wouldn't be valuable merchandise," he said with a mocking smile.

Valeria became furious and indignant.

"Well, for your information, I've had handsome and rich suitors. I'm very pretty, and being a virgin is highly valuable in the black market," she shouted, upset. She had been completely underestimated from head to toe.

Osiris smiled happily as he observed her. He had already sensed that no other man had touched her body. He could smell her sweet, untouched scent.

"Thank you for the information, it's interesting," he said, looking at her seriously, while Valeria wanted to dig a hole and bury herself alive.

Valeria didn't understand how he could spew out so much nonsense. But there was something curious; she felt really good. The heaviness, the laziness, the sleepiness, and that pain in her chest that came and went were no longer there. She felt like herself again, even better than before.

"If you accept, your payment will include the extra that I offer. I really need someone to help me with my beasts. They're not easy to handle, but something tells me you can handle the challenge," Osiris said more seriously, while Valeria looked at the contract and was surprised. He wasn't giving her anything for free. Her fees were equal to those of an elite professional, and the extra $25,000 was for her services.

"Can I lower my salary and instead you provide health insurance for my mother?" the girl asked, blushing a little. She didn't want to be greedy, but she knew she couldn't afford insurance on her own. Her mother was already sick, and it would be difficult to apply for such high-cost plans.

Osiris looked at her, his eyes shining with excitement. It seemed that the Queen of the Northern Hemisphere was a gem, a pure being full of noble feelings. Despite her tough exterior, she was just a sweet candy.

"I won't reduce your salary, but I will give your mother health insurance. In exchange, you would have to stay for one more month," he said calmly, while Valeria's eyes shone like stars. That's all she wanted to hear, and she took the pen to sign. Even if she had to work like a slave, her beloved mother was worth it. She wouldn't miss this opportunity.

While Valeria was focused on her document, she didn't feel someone's presence watching her in astonishment.

Valeria turned around and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman. She was truly divine, and Valeria was paralyzed.

"Hello, dear. You must be Valeria, the veterinarian who will take care of the beasts," the woman said calmly as she approached and kissed Valeria on the cheek.

Vale jumped in surprise, something inside her quickened in that moment.

"Thank you, if it's me, who are you?" she said, unable to stop looking at her.

"I am Aunt Talesa, my dear nephew called me to take you with us. I hope we have a pleasant time together these months," she said with a smile.

Vale nodded as her heart filled with tranquility. She wouldn't have to go alone with that snob who seemed more dangerous than a pedophile in a kindergarten.

Valeria left there happily, they would only have to wait 10 days. Although it seems strange, she is willing to wait. But she had noticed something very strange. The further she got from that man's apartment, the sicker she became. All her symptoms returned and she even thinks she's worse off.

What is happening to her is that she is self-modifying. A human couldn't handle a relationship with a Lycan. The fierce beasts have a strong and hostile seed, it could destroy her uterus if she wasn't a Lycan herself. Only a she-wolf would be able to withstand it. Plus, Lycan children are strong from the womb. Valeria would die if she had one without modifications. The mark gives her that plus, but in order for her to stop feeling that terrible need to be with him, they must mate. It's the only way.
