Verity awoke once more in a bedroom that was entirely foreign to her. Her brows furrowed as she laid her eyes on the decor of the room, which seemed to exude a masculine aura. She attempted to rise to her feet, but the throbbing pain in her head forced her to collapse back onto the bed. As she languidly extended her arms, her fingers inadvertently grasped the mass of the individual situated beside her. Verity was taken aback, her mouth was agape, and her eyes widened in surprise. As she prepared to rise from her seat, a sudden touch at her waist caused her to freeze in place. The hand of the person seated beside her had made contact, sending a jolt of electricity through her body. "Stay still," the voice said calmly. A seductive and deep timbre emanated from her side, sending shivers down her spine. Verity lay there, her lips parted in awe as she gazed upon her surroundings. The sheer beauty of it all had left her utterly speechless, her mind struggling to comprehend the magnifice
Verity pressed her lips together, a sign of her inner turmoil. The grand estate where Alpha Nero takes up residence is of such immense proportions that it leaves one awestruck. Luxury was the only word that came to Verity's mind as she gazed upon her surroundings. Every object in her line of sight seemed to exude opulence and extravagance. As she stepped inside Alpha Nero's mansion, she found herself struggling to fathom the sights that lay before her. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that she would bear witness to such things within those walls. Her heart raced as she struggled to keep up with Alpha Nero, her knees quivering with each step. She swallowed hard, trying to calm the fear that threatened to overwhelm her. He had made an attempt to take her hand earlier, but she politely refused. Now, she trailed behind him like a lost child, her eyes fixed on his retreating figure. "One must grow accustomed to all that meets one's eyes. The man spoke with a tone of generos
"Can you tell me where you're taking me?" Verity's heart raced as she nervously addressed the man before her. As they left Alpha Nero's grand estate, the man clasped her left hand with a firm grip. They strolled through the sprawling backyard, the man leading the way with a sense of purpose.A heavy sigh escaped from the Alpha's lips. He sensed his mate's unease, but he knew that Verity had no reason to be afraid. If there was anyone she could rely on, it was him."I assure you that no harm shall befall you under my watchful eye. I would never dream of leading you astray to a place where danger lurks." Alpha Nero's voice was soft as he spoke to the girl. "You need not be skeptical of me every time we are alone," he said.Verity pressed her lips together, a sign of her inner turmoil. Living a solitary life had instilled in her a deep-seated wariness towards others, causing her to withhold her trust even from the mate who had been fated to be hers.The perils they faced were not to be t
The atmosphere in the room had grown palpably tense since the arrival of the guest, and Verity had retreated into an uncharacteristic silence. The visitor hailed from the esteemed Lycan Council. Their purpose was to conduct an investigation and uncover the truth behind the events that transpired between Alpha Astadel and Alpha Maurius. As they awaited their meeting with Nero in his private office, Verity and her friend Faith sat in the adjacent office room. Alpha Nero expects Verity to be aware of everything. The man does not want to conceal any secrets from the girl, and he definitely does not want to generate a misunderstanding between them. Verity pressed her lips together, listening intently. The reason behind the Lycan Council's chaotic state could very well be attributed to her association with Alpha Nero. "Compensate him, Alpha Nero," the representative said with a firm tone. "You ought to, considering you were responsible for his son's demise," the person said with a cold
Verity was the only one who truly got to know Alpha Nero over time. She found herself quite content with the Alpha's possessiveness, as he rarely let her out of his sight. The man possessed a set of habits that he was gradually becoming cognizant of. Among them was his tendency to eliminate or discipline individuals, be they humans or lycanthropes, who had committed a wrongdoing. Alpha Nero was known for his unwavering sense of justice. He would never punish someone who was innocent and had not committed any wrongdoing. One of the man's endearing habits was to embrace Verity whenever he felt weary or faced a daunting task. Verity was taken aback as the man confided in her, revealing that she had the power to alleviate his weariness and anxiety. Verity held onto Alpha Nero until he himself desired to be released. As she gazed into his eyes, the girl felt her heart skip a beat. It was not just his rugged good looks that drew her in, but the kindness he had shown her. She couldn't d
The girl's eyes widened as she eagerly tore open the parcels that had just arrived via the courier of her favorite online shopping application. "Oh goodness," she exclaimed, "what am I to do with all of these clothes?" She carefully examined each item, admiring the colors and textures, and pondered how she would incorporate them into her wardrobe. A heavy sigh escaped Verity's lips, betraying the weight of her thoughts. She had grown accustomed to the ceaseless stream of Nero's orders, having carried them out several times before. It's accessories and clothes for women. Alpha Nero had always been one to avoid crowded places, particularly the bustling mall. However, circumstances had left her with no other option but to brave the throngs of people. The young woman sat in the spacious living room, her thoughts wandering aimlessly as she gazed out the window. Meanwhile, the man was secluded in his private office, engrossed in his work. The helpers were few and far between, only appear
"I apologize, my love," he whispered, his voice heavy with regret. The anticipated date between us has been thwarted, as fate would have it. Alpha Nero let out a deep sigh, his eyes fixed on the horizon. "We must make our way to the council," he said with a heavy heart. Verity felt a sense of disappointment wash over her as she realized that this was not the thrilling experience she had envisioned for her first visit to an amusement park. As soon as she caught a glimpse of the advertisement on the television screen, she turned to the man and declared her desire to visit the place. Despite their desire to leave, the council called them because Alpha Maurius had requested their attendance. Verity believed that the ordeal had come to an end, just as Nero had declared. However, Alpha Maurius proved to be an obstinate individual with a resolute countenance. Alpha Nero's threats and pressure weren't the driving force behind it. "Are we going to the city center?" Verity's inquisitive ga
Verity owed Nero an immeasurable debt. Her godmother and family had also chosen to reside in the Northwest city. The Alpha made the decision to extend an invitation to her godmother, requesting that she relocate to their current location and act as a witness in the case that is already close. The evidence of abuse presented by her godmother was damning. Alpha Maurius, however, remained indifferent to Verity's plight, callously dismissing her welfare as inconsequential. Verity breathed a sigh of relief as she received the news that her dear one was now safe and sound. She can now sleep peacefully. He leaned in close, his voice low and husky. "Are you enjoying yourself, my love?" Alpha Nero addressed her. With a subtle gesture, the woman extended her thumb upward, indicating her approval. With Rett and Faith left behind on the ground, they took off into the sky. Verity relished the sensation of soaring through the air in the helicopter. Without a second thought, Alpha Nero took to
