Summary: you all arrived to Valko’s safe house. While doctors check on the children, Valko pulls you aside for answers and questions, not knowing he will be filled with sadness.
A/n: atp what am I writing. I think im going crasy ever since the update that Valko is still not in the game. I got no clue, there's no information out there for me to use and when it does come out I'm too far into my story to put it in and make changes. Like none of this doesn't make any since I'm supposed to be good at writing but now I feel like im writing some bullshit
You were losing your breath, the baby in your arms squirming, at the brink of crying. You yelped when you felt a strong arm around your waist. Valko had hoist you up as well, carrying not only Marge but you and a baby. "Hang on tight!" he said.
Just like the first time you met him, you felt like you were in a racing car, running over 75 miles per hour. You covered the baby's head, hiding yours against Valko's neck as he simply ran with much ease. Taking the right pills clearly makes you feel better.
Valko was so fast that it seemed to not even bother the baby or Marge, meanwhile you were panicking just a bit. It's probably some werewolf thing that makes them used to such speed, which you clearly don't have. "Uh! Are we there yet?" You asked.
"I've sent Jenell and her she wolves to my second safe house," he explained. Now knowing that he was no longer a wanted man but a missing person. It was safe enough for him to come back to society. "It's just 47 miles away—"
Your jaw dropped. "That'll at least take you a few hours—!"
He smirked, staring at you like you clearly don't see his speed. "It's 30 minutes for us." And without thinking, he snuggles his forehead against yours to comfort you, knowing his speed overwhelms you. "Just relax, let me handle the rest, okay?"
You silently nodded, not even questioning the forehead rubbing. You'll ask about that once everything is situated.
You knocked hard on the door, waiting for someone to open it as you held the baby. As while Valko continued holding Marge.
The door soon opens, revealing a bulter. His eyes widened, but he had expected Valko's arrival. "My god, come in now!" He ushers you four inside.
You're the first to come inside, seeing Jenell come running after Valko. "Is she okay?!" She asked, already taking Marge out of Valko's hands. The sight of her daughter unconscious and covered in scars brings her into tears. "No…. no what did they do to her?" She sets Marge down on the floor.
Valko frowned sadly. "What they do to everyone," he simply replied, kneeling to check over Marge again. "From what I heard, they couldn't get much out of her."
Jenell wiped her tears. "Will she wake up?"
While Valko continued to assure Jenell that Marge is fine, the she wolves were surrounding you, gushing at the baby. You smiled awkwardly, watching them all fond at the baby and ask questions.
Where did the baby come from? Is it a boy or a girl? Is it from the facility? Is it your baby? Is it Valko's baby?
It started to get personal and out of hand, so Valko soon intervened, telling everyone to go back to their own doings. He gets personal doctors to check on Marge and the baby, as he then gently pulls you away to talk to you privately.
He leads you to his private office that he hasn't touched in months so it's all dusty. Him being first to step inside caused him to sneeze loudly.
You covered your mouth to try not to laugh. "Bless you."
He clears his throat. "Thank you." He sits down in front of his desk. His soft and approachable face soon becomes serious. "Why didn't you listen to me?"
You sat on the chair across from him, suddenly feeling nervous. You took a deep breath and spoke. "While searching I found something—"
"Uh hey, let me finish." You pointed a finger at him. You pulled out your watch, making the hologram bigger. You had copied some documents from the facility. "Take a look at this."
Subject: Serial Number 1.000204
Boyan rejected the child. He requests a stronger donor. We agreed and found another one. But what do to with this child?
Boyan just said, "throw it away." But I couldn't just get rid of the child. The boy hasn't done anything wrong.
Our superior decided that it was best to leave the child in cryo, in case we fail to grow our second round.
What if Boyan rejects the second one? And then the next that come? What will we do with all these children that this man decided to artificially have? We couldn't raise all of them, we're a small group. And even if we grew bigger, raising this much children with evols that we can't control will get way out of hand.
Valko placed his clasped hands close to his mouth, elbows on the table. His eyes go watery and glassly as he stares at the hologram. He swallows hard, his eyes always going back to the name 'Boyan.'
His body shivers in disgust, closing his eyes as tears stream down his face. He coughs, slowly bringing his head down to rest on his desk. "No…. no no no no…" his voice is muffled, you could hear him sniff and cough. He shook his head. "How could he do this? How could he?"
You turned off the hologram, your own face etched with pain and sorrow. You reached out your hand to comfort him but stopped. He seemed so distraught, sick in the gut. You knew that he's a man of strength and leadership, and you've even seen him fall apart many times already, but this may be the worse you've seen of him. sorrow.
And what's more, you're not that close to him. But nonetheless you walked around his desk and stood near him.
You were about place a hand over his back before he suddenly started to grow dark hair around his skin. You gasped and took a step back, watching him sob uncontrollably as his body started to get smaller and smaller. His clothes started to get too big for him as his body shrunk to the point he was buried in his clothes.
You blinked in bewilderment and confusion, hearing small whimpers and chirps. You see of what's left of Valko is something small moving in his clothes, distressed and trying to get out. You then hear sniffing, then a small, wet, shiny snout peaks out of Valko's collar.
"Is that you, Valko?" You called to him, kneeling down to level with the small thing on the rolling chair.
What was a snout soon came out to be a small pup, it's fur dark gray and with golden amber eyes just like Valko's. And when hearing your voice, he pokes his head out all the way, shivering and whimpering.
The sight of Valko now at very vulnerable state had gave you cute aggression. You gave him an assuring smile and slowly brushed two fingers over his furry head. He closed his eyes, his tail wagging and his ear twitching in pleasure at your touch.
You know from the start that since he's a werewolf, he can transform. But seeing this gives you a theory that he had transformed into a puppy due to intense distraught and pain.
You getting a sense of deja vu by just seeing him like this, like you've been in a situation like this before. "Are you… still Valko? Like act like Valko?" you asked awkwardly, leaning closer. His little body trembles as he tries to stand up, snout twitching, making his way towards you. "Do the others like your butler know you're like this?"
You get no answer, only him trying to reach to you with a waving paw. He's afraid to jump, now whining that he can't get close to you without facing his fears. You turned your head to the sound of knocking on the door and went to go get it, leaving Valko to fend for himself in his tiny body.
He barked and jumped to get your attention as you slowly opened the door. It was Valko's butler, who seemed concerned. "Is Master Valko….?"
"You know?" You let him in, allowing him to see Valko's puppy state.
The butler sighed sadly. "This happens when he's really stressed or distraught," he explained, reach out to Valko but the puppy refuses by letting out tiny high-pitched squeaks. "It also makes him act like a puppy, so he has no control of it."
The butler turns to you. "What did you do to him?" he asked, sensing that you're not a threat but obviously you started something.
"Uh… well… there's a lot going on…" you laughed nervously, watching as Valko finally jumps off the chair and pads his way to you. Valko squeaks loudly, jumping up to reach for your arms, not knowing he's too small to even get up there.
"You take care of him," the butler states.
"This is good, very good." The butler talks to himself, nodding and mumbling. "He's fond of (Y/n), so he now he won't run away and get lost in the woods again."
"Hey!" You watched the butler leave. "You can't leave me with him! I can take care of a baby but not a puppy!"
"I'll tell the staff to prepare his food, bath and toys. Keep an eye on him," the butler said. "He's not afraid of you, so he won't run." The door closes, leaving you with Puppy Valko in his office.
Valko jumps, pawing at the bottom of your pants. His cries get louder when you don't pick him up. You looked down and awkwardly picked him up. He stopped crying by the touch of your hands.
You pouted your lips, he's too cute. You hated it that in order for him to be this he's has to be very upset. You sighed. "I'm so gonna get attached to your puppy form," you said to him, his hind legs dangling around as you hold him up.
Hearing you say that, his small tail wags at the speed of light, paws waving to get closer to you. His tongue sticks out, clearly saying 'I want to kiss your face, please.' You couldn't take it anymore and held him against your chest. He presses his tiny body against yours in response, his tongue licking your cheek. The feeling of your warmth and comfort calms him down, his squeaking going quiet.
For the first time in a long time, Valko is able to rest, his mind away from the horrors, stress and responsibilities. He closes his eyes, finding your scent a way to his slumber, feeling your hand rubbing his back to sooth him.
You wonder how long it will take for him to return back into himself. You wonder if his innerself is still distraught with the new information you had given him. You wonder how he truly feels about the baby at the other side of the room. But maybe you shouldn't focus on those things at the moment. Marge and the baby are being taken care of by doctors and the she wolves. And the world surrounding Valko have given him peace. So at this moment, you're now alone with Valko to take care of.
You turned to the couch and set Puppy Valko there to rest. But without your touch, he starts whimpering for you. "Ah! Okay! Okay! I'm sorry…" You put him back in your arms and sat on the couch with him. You leaned against the couch, letting him rest on your lap. You sighed again. "Can't believe this is happening to me."
"Marge! Stop chasing him!" Jenell shouted at her daughter, who was running around the house, chasing after Puppy Valko.
Marge giggled. "But it's a puppy, mom! Why doesn't he like me?" she pouted.
"That's the Alpha, Marge!" Jenell huffs and gently pulls Marge away.
Valko, who can't control his small legs, forces himself to stop in front of you, tumbling forward and ending with a summersault. He yips and goes to hide behind your legs, staring at Marge with a frighten look.
You cleared your throat awkwardly, turning to the butler. "So when will his grandmother be arriving?" you asked.
"In a few minutes," the butler replied. "She may know a few things about this whole situation. She's the only member in his family that he trusts."
You nodded and picked Valko up when you felt him paw at your feet again. "Yes, yes, I'm here…" You comforted Valko, who falls asleep again in your arms. "Does this run in the family?"
The butler shakes his head. "Only Master Valko does this…." he pauses, conflict onto spilling out more information. "It's something his father tends to dislike about Valko."
"Boyan…" You mumbled the name. "It seems like this man has done a lot of terrible things to his family and clan."
"Precisely why his grandmother had banned him after he was exposed," The butler blurted out.
Suddenly the doorbell rings, signaling Valko's grandmother's arrival. "Oh! I'll get it!" The butler hurries off.
Once the doors open, Valko's grandmother comes right in. "How is my grandson?!" She comes running into the living room, finding Valko in his arms. "Oh my sweet child…" she gasped, then her eyes going to you.
You smiled awkwardly. "Hello, ma'am." you bowed.
"I know you…" her eyes wrinkled at the sight of you. She goes right back on track, sensing she's getting distracted. "I see you've calm him down, that's wonderful."
You gulped nervously. "I have some questions…" you said slowly. "And I hope you can answer them, that is if you trust me."
She stares at her grandson before going back to you. She nods. "If he trusts you, then I will too."
"So… this man, Boyan. Is he really Valko's father?" you asked. You and Valko's grandmother are back in Valko's office, with him next to you playing with a squeaky toy.
She nodded sadly. "Boyan is my son, unfortunately."
You sighed, rubbing your head. "My mind is all over the place with the idea of human expierments, wolves and such…"
"I suppose I felt the same way when I found out what my son had been doing to our clan and my family," she replied. "What would you like to know?"
"Everything," you demanded softly. "What was Boyan exposed for?"
Valko's grandmother closed her eyes, preparing to talk about bad memories. "He was exposed for using his own clan in human experiments at the Gaia Facility," she started. "It all started when he took over. He wanted an heir, but didn't want to marry a woman. He knew that if he were to marry, that woman would become the Matriarchy and he will only be known as the man of the family. So he went to Gaia in hopes of creating an heir without having to be in a relationship with a woman."
The last sentence made you feel sick. "S-so… was a woman forced to—"
"No… god no, that didn't happen." she shook her head. "From what I know, Valko was created in a makeshift womb. He was grown in a lab."
You looked away for a moment. thinking back about the baby. "And he rejected the first baby."
"I did not know about the first child until now…" She cried softly, wiping her tears. "It makes me feel even more disappointing in myself for not noticing my son's dark motives."
"So what… happened after Valko was born or so… accepted? How did you react?"
She looks defeated and even more disappointing as she spoke. "I didn't see his lies. He told me he fell in love with a woman and had slept with her. And then proceed to tell me more lies that she had ran away after giving birth to Valko." She gives her a moment. "But that I don't think was the wprse part. When Boyna figured out that Valko would shift into a puppy when frightened, he'd lock his son in the basement to overcome his fears. He neglected that poor child who needed a father to comfort him rather than give more fear. And known that Valko had a weak side, he gave the young generation of our clan to Gaia to experiment on and then funded them. He wanted a stronger pack."
"And then he was exposed and banned?" You instantly pulled Puppy Valko close, who didn't mind the interruption of his playing. "right?"
She nodded. "Yes, he was… but due to his power, he wasn't arrested. He's just not part of our clan anymore." she sighed, glancing at Puppy Valko. "I made sure to raise Valko right and I did. Now he vows to protect his clan and wants to expose his father, Gaia, EVER and any other horrid place out there for their crimes."
You glanced down at Valko, who stares back at you. "Do you know when he comes back to his usual self?"
"It'll take a few hours if you comfort him enough. Sometimes a day," she replies. "He really loves you."
"I feel like I've known him when I was young…." You booped his nose.
She grinned happily. "I'm sure when the moment comes, he'd tell you more than what I know."
