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

Logan’s POVA few hours had passed as I buried myself into my work, thinking of a plan to keep my pack safe. Then Andrew burst into my office, his face flushed with panic and anger. Without knocking, Andrew flung open the door, making me startle.“She’s gone, Alpha!” Andrew said as he tried to catch his breath. Barely pausing he continued, “Vernonia is gone. She is nowhere to be found. And, we found Grace tied up, locked in a room in your house!”My heart sank, my eyes widened in shock, “What? How-”“I have no idea!” He cut me off, pacing back and forth. His hands rubbing his head. “There was no sign of intrusion. Whoever did this, thought clearly and precisely. They knew what they were doing.

Veronica’s POVI started to wake up, my mind foggy as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The cold, damp air clung to my skin, making me shiver. The sight of a bulb flickering above my head made the room feel more like a prison. I tried to move but the chains binding my wrists and ankles echoed through the small room. Panic started to take hold of my body. My breaths became unsteady and restless, but I forced myself to remain calm, focused on the voices that were in the distance.

I noticed that they were talking about something important, but they were too far to clearly make out what they were saying. All that I knew was they were serious, by the way of their tones. My thoughts raced as I listened, trying to piece togethe
