The Cracks In Between
Vallerina or Val has blonde hair, blue eyes, and she's tall with curves in all the right places. Caine, a werewolf has chocolate brown hair, green eyes, and muscles.
On a normal day of May, Val woke up to the birds chirping and the sun shining. It was the first day of her senior year in High School; she felt that the day was going to be eventful. She got out of the bed groaning, went to the bathroom and took a thirty minute shower. When she got out of the shower she went to her room and got dressed in her blue high waist jeans, a lime green tank top and her blue high tops. She put on natural make up and curled her naturally straight sleek blonde hair.
After getting ready she went downstairs, grabbed a banana and water bottle then went out the door to her cherry red convertible and hopped in. She drove to Groverton High school and got out of the car.
Meanwhile as Val was getting ready Caine was sorting out pack paperwork and having his buttered toast and coffee. After the paperwork was done Caine took a shower, got ready in blue jeans, white V-neck with a leather jacket, and black converse. He went down the stairs and out to his car, a black jaguar, and drove to school.
When Val got to school she went to her locker to put what she didn't need up then went and sat under her favorite tree, started reading a book. Caine pulled up to the school and got out with all eyes on him. Caine sauntered to the school, with only a pen on him; he went to first hour and sat in the back waiting for everyone else to file into class.
Once the bell rang for admission to school, Val got up and walked to her first hour running into her best friend, Jaickson Moreno or Jai to Val, on the way.
"Val, I haven't seen you in forever. What class are you going to?" Jaickson said curiously.
Val looks at her schedule then says, "History, where're you going?" Without answering Val who was confused by Jaicksons actions, she got pulled away to her first hour by a beaming Jaickson. When Val and Jaickson entered two minutes late, all eyes turned to them. Mrs. Rolland the history teacher raised an eyebrow at the lateness of her students and looked at her attendance sheet for the two people marked late.
Mrs. Rolland cleared her throat then asked, "Ms. Sanchez why are you and Ms. Moreno late to my class?" Val looked around the class embarrassed, her eyes settling on a green welcoming color of eyes that were staring intently at her. Immediately Val directed her eyes to Mrs. Rolland and said, "We couldn't find the class ma'am." Mrs. Rolland thought that since it was the first day that she would let them off with a warning. "Just pick a seat and sit down Ms. Sanchez and Ms. Moreno." Mrs. Rolland said irritated.
On the way to a seat Val walked past Caine who was still staring intently at Val, Val gave a shy smile to Caine and went to sit at an open seat.Throughout class Val who was seated behind Caine's seat kept looking at the back of Caine's head. Once in a while Caine would look back at Val; suddenly the bell dismissing first period rang. Both Val and Caine packed up their own stuff and went on their way to second hour.
Val didn't see Caine until lunch, she talked to Jai in some of their classes together about whom Caine was and that he looked cute to Val. When Caine walked into the lunch room his nose picked up on a familiar scent, Val. Caine looked around for Val and found her at the same time Val spotted Caine in the cafeteria. Val's eyes widened when she realized her and Caine were just staring at each other for more than a second; Val averted her eyes to Jai who was seated across from her.
Caine smirked at Val's action and sauntered over to her table; Jai looked up at Caine's arrival and smiled at him. Jai gestured to behind Val; Val turned around and saw Caine. Val smiled at Caine, making Caine stiffen and Val look at him confused. "Hey, you're Vallerina Sanchez right?" Caine asked after he calmed down. Val gave Caine a timid smile and nodded. Caine sat next to Val and they started talking, by the time they were done talking both Val and Caine felt excited about their new friendship.
A month later Val and Caine grew closer to each other and started dating, yet Caine failed to tell Val that she was his mate even though he told her that he was a werewolf. A mate is a term to humans as soul mate. During the month that went by Val and Caine made enemies, to Caine this was normal but for Val it left a bad taste in her mouth to be told that someone hated her and wanted her dead. Caine rejected Ellenena Leloi or Elle: a girl with red hair, brown puppy dog eyes, and a short height, when she asked him out; he said he already had a girlfriend. Once Ellenena found out Val was his girlfriend and mate she plotted against Val to get her out of the picture. For Val she made an enemy by rejecting Ivan Berger: a tall guy with black spikey hair and silvery blue eyes. Ivan knew that Caine's mate was Val but Ivan always felt the need to have something that could never belong to him.
Ivan and Elle formed an army of rogues; rogues are werewolves with no pack and Alpha to give them orders. After Ivan and Elle made a plan to create the army, Caine got insight on it and called a pack meeting informing them of the newfound news. When Ivan and the rogues were ready to attack Caine's pack, Caine's pack was ready for the attack.
On an eerie night, Ivan and the rogues attacked Caine's pack; when Caine got word of the rogues coming near the pack house he sent Val, the elderly, women who wouldn't fight and children to the hidden safe house. Caine and his fighters from his pack stood menacingly in front of their pack house, waiting for Ivan. When Ivan and the rogues showed up already shifted in wolf form, Caine and his fighters shifted. Ivan and the rogues ran towards Caine's fighters, from all there everything went crazy. Paws to fur, blood on the ground, lives lost, and injured wolves. Throughout it all Caine managed to kill Ivan by ripping out his throat with his sharp teeth; Elle got killed by Jeremy, a pack member of Caine's. Caine's pack won; all the rogues got killed one way or another by pack members of Caine.
After Caine got the injured wolves to the pack doctor and let out the women, elderly and children. Caine went to Val and gathered her up in a big hug, twirling her around. "I love you so much Vallerina Rose Sanchez!" Caine exclaimed, leaving Val in shock. Caine put Val back on the ground, got on one knee and looked up at Val. "Val," Caine paused then said "I love you so much, we have been through thick and thin but yet you never gave up on me, I've loved you since I laid eyes on you. Vallerina, Will you do me the honor and make me the happiest man in the world by marrying me?" Caine watched Val's reaction with hope. Finally a grin broke out on Val's face and she nodded frantically. Caine got up off of his knee and kissed Val with passion. After they were done kissing Val said the three words Caine wanted to hear.
"I love you."
