Veronica’s POVThe next morning I woke up feeling a bit tired and worn out. Getting dressed, Maya knocked on the door wishing to enter. I let her in with a bright smile, “Morning Ma’am.”“Oh sweetie, don’t call me ma’am, just call me Maya. I’m the one that needs to call you ma’am.”“You can also just call me Veronica. It’s not that I deserve the title ma’am.” My smile faded quickly.“Deary.” She placed her hand under my chin, “Don’t talk yourself down like that, you are worth anything. You are worth more than you give yourself credit for. So, lift your head and so the world what you’re made of.”“Thank you.” I gave her a smile, then her eyes widened.“We’re going to be late.”“Late? Late for what?” I asked surprised. “For the meeting with Alpha Logan. Come on, we need to get you dressed as cleaned up. Come on now.” She pushed me into the bathroom. ***We made our way to the study. I haven’t been here yet. As we walked into the elegantly furnished room, I couldn’t help but feel a bit

Logan’s POVAs I sat behind my desk the scent of my desk lingered in the air, and the sound of my pen tapping echoed. My mind raced with questions, one after the other. How is it that Veronica had yet to receive her wolf? Would that explain that she doesn’t know about me? The questions just kept running through my mind. The door creaked open, and Andrew stepped into the room, his expression worried me. I set my pen down and leaned back into my chair.“Alpha.” He said, his voice filled with urgency. “We’ve uncovered something about the attack.”I leaned forward, my interest piqued. “What have you found?” I asked, my voice steady.With a deep breath Andrew spoke, “They used wolfsbane.”“What?”“Unfortunately, there was no way to save them. They would have died no matter what our medical team would have tried.” He said with sadness in his tone. His gaze fell to the ground.“That’s impossible. The last wolfbane was destroyed years ago. There must be some kind of mistake.”Andrew shook hi

Veronica’s POVThe next morning tiredness didn’t want to let go of me, exhaustion seemed to sink in deeper with each yawn. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I stood up from the comfort of my bed. The events of the previous day seemed to have a bigger effect on me than I thought. As I got dressed there was a soft knock that echoed through the room, Maya’s voice followed soon after, “Morning Miss Veronica.”I greeted her with a tired smile, “Morning.”She looked at me with a worried smile, “Is everything alright?”“Everything is fine. Just a bit tired, I didn't sleep too well last night.” I lied.She lifted my face, giving me a reassuring smile, but the moment was short-lived. Her expression quickly changed, “We’re going to be late.”“Late? Late for what?” I asked, surprised by her sudden urgency.“For your lesson.” “Again?”“Yes. Now come on.” She grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room.The excitement of going to another lesson was there but my body didn’t want it. I painted on a

Logan’s POVSitting in my office, the room was bright with the sun shining through the windows. It heated the room nicely, as I worked through the papers on my table there was a knock on the door. With a sigh, I leaned back into my chair, “Yes?”The door slowly opened and Henry was peeking through the gap, “Sorry to disturb you Sir, but here is someone here to see you.”“Let him in.”The door opened wider, and the man thanked Henry and he closed the door behind him. “Can I help you? I asked, eyeing him cautiously.The man gave me a smile, and gave a bow, “Good day Alpha. It is an honour to make your acquaintance. My name is Lucas. I’ve heard rumours about the recent attack on one of the packs in the area. I just thought I might offer my assistance.”I raised my eyebrow. It was rare for outsiders to show such concern for other Alpha’s affairs. I smelled the air and noticed he wasn’t a wolf, he was human. I could see he was trying to read me, but I kept a poker face.“I know you can tel

Veronica’s POVI made my way to the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. After the long and tedious day, I was longing for something hot. My steps were light against the floorboards, the moon light shone through the curtains. As I reached the coffee pot, my gaze turned to the window overlooking a porch.Logan. There he sat. I noticed he had a troubled look on his face. A sense of concern tugged at my heartstrings, despite the fear and worry, I couldn’t shake the feeling to go and comfort him. Without hesitation I made a cup of coffee, the smell of freshly made coffee filled the air. Clutching the cups in my hands, I made my way out to the porch.I approached softly. Logan glanced up, I could see the surprise on his face, he then offered me a faint smile, “Hi.” Handing him his cup, our fingers touched slightly. “Thank you.” I didn’t say a word as I found a spot next to him. There was a big gap between us, I didn’t want to intrude in his alone time, but the sight before us was too beaut

Veronica’s POVThe morning light made me open my eyes slightly, as I awakened from my slumber my hand fell to the other side of the bed. The feeling of the empty side next to me made me sit up. The night before flooded my mind, could it have been a dream? It felt all so real, the warm embrace of Logan, holding me so soft and comforting. The feeling that we shared in that moment. I rubbed my eyes, removing the sleep from them. The feeling of him holding me still felt so real, the feeling of being cared for and the feeling of feeling wanted. I scanned the room, the sense of emptiness settled over me.Logan was gone.A sigh of disappointment filled the air. Then I spotted a neatly folded piece of paper lying on the bedside table. With hesitation I reached out and unfolded it. I never saw his handwriting before, it was neat. Each stroke, written delicately.“Veronica,I apologise for not being there when you woke up. Something important came up at work, and had to rush out. Please don’t

Veronica’s POVMia stood with her arms crossed and a clear indication that she was not happy to see me. The tension in the air thickened and our eyes met. Her eyes were always cold and distant, but this time her gaze was filled with a fury I hadn't seen before. Fear started to take over my body, I didn’t know what to expect from her. Not knowing what words would escape her mouth, nor what she would do to me.“Veronica,” She she spat out my name like a curse, “It’s a fucking honor to see you.” Sarcasm filled her tone.“I…” I took a big breath trying to gather the courage to tell her off. But, nothing. It was like my words were frozen.“You what? Decided to abandon your pack, and go live a good life.” She said as she made air quotes. “Because of you. Because of your betrayal to our pack, your father had to pay the price.”It felt a punch in my gut as the words left her mouth. My father. What price did my father have to pay? And I didn’t decide to leave, I was forced to leave. I was told

Logan’s POVAs I held Veronica gently in my arms, feeling her fear and hurt that shook her body as she cried. Her cries broke my heart, I hated to see her like this. I hoped that her leaving that horrible place would bring her solace not heartache. “Little one,” I murmured softly as I stroked her hair gently. “Everything is alright now. You're safe here.”She slowly looked up at me, her eyes puffy and red. I held her face in my hands, our eyes locking with each other. At that moment time seemed to stand still. I could see she had questions, the uncertainty to trust me.Without thinking, I leaned forward, pressing my lips gently against hers. She didn’t resist, didn’t pull back. The kiss was tender, filled with reassurance and comfort. She was tense and stiff for a moment, then she relaxed in her touch.When we finally pulled back, I gazed into her eyes. With my thumb I wiped away her remaining tears that were still lingering on her cheek. “Little one.” I whispered, my voice husky wit
