Logan’s chest raised and fell as he took a big breath before speaking, “If it such a big issue, that it was worth wanting to hit the maid, maybe…” He looked around thinking what to say, “Maybe you should go and get the correct wine, seeing that the maid is incompetent.”
“Wait… What?”
“Maybe you should show sincerity and go to the wine cellar and get the wine.”
“Alpha-“
“Now.”
“But, I… You can’t be serious.”
“I’m dead serious. Now, be a loyal mutt and go and get the wine.”
Marcus's gaze met mine. I quickly looked away before I stepped on any more toes. With a growl he stepped away, as he passed me he kept his gaze on me. With my eyes fixed on the ground, I saw that Alpha Logan turned around to face me. My heart started to beat faster.
“Maid. Well, I don’t believe that is your name. What is your name?”
“I’m…” I replied softly.
“You need to speak up. And you need to speak full sentences.”
“I’m Veronica.” My voice was still soft but loud enough for him to hear.
“Veronica.” He nodded, “So, Veronica, tell me how old are you?”
“I’m… Um… I just turned eighteen…”
“When?”
“When what Alpha?”
“When did you turn eighteen?”
“Well… Um… Today.”
I looked up and then saw the confusion on his face. Then our eyes met, he had the most beautiful ocean-blue eyes. When staring into his eyes it felt as if I was fading away. Like I was swimming in the ocean itself.
“Today. Interesting. Tell me little one, what is the story between you and that arrogant man?”
“Well, um. He… Is… Kind of my…” I looked down, unable to look him in his eyes, and whispered, “Step-brother.”
“Your what?”
“Step-brother.” My voice got a little bit more audible.
“And he fucking tears you like that? Like fucking trash? How dare you stand for that?”
I closed my eyes. Scared he might raise his hands to me. Then I heard him sigh, slowly I opened my eyes. Slowly lifting my gaze, he placed his hand on his face and shook it. A loud growl came from behind me, as I turned around I saw Marcus standing behind me. His face was blood red from anger.
“Fall to your fucking knees mutt!”
“But…”
“Drop! And apologise to the Alpha this instant, you have only caused trouble the entire night.”
I nodded and started to make my way to my knees, but before I could reach the ground I felt a hand grabbing my arm. Shocked, I didn’t say a word and didn’t move. I stood rock solid.
“Marcus, I thought we were here to talk business. Seeing that Alpha Ethan couldn’t make it. But now you're only causing a scene. At this moment I’m starting to wonder why I even came here.”
“Alpha. I apologise, but if it wasn’t for this maid. Think she can leave now so that we can continue our discussion of earlier.”
“Beta, I don’t think you are taking this situation seriously. I think it would be best if I just leave.”
“Please! I mean, please, Alpha Ethan sent me to make sure that our packs would still be in alliance with each other. Please, I can’t mess this up.”
“Then tell me what are you going to do? What do you offer me to keep my pack protected?”
The tension was building between them. I wanted to leave to let them talk in private but Logan’s hand was still gripping my arm. Keeping my gaze fixed to the floor I heard my brother say my name, “Veronica.” I looked up in shock. Why did he just say my name? I did nothing but stand here, “Our pack will give you Veronica.” My eyes widened because of his words.
“What?” The word escaped my mouth louder than I had planned.
“Shut up.” Marcus looked at me with anger.
“Go on.” Logan said, his interest peaked.
“Our pack offers you Veronica as payment.”
“Marcus, you can’t do this to me. Please.” I begged.
He pulled me closer and whispered in my ear, “You are nothing to this pack. If you want to mean something you will go with him. Willingly. You will be the only thing that can protect our pack. Got it?”
I nodded in agreement. My breaths started to get louder with each passing minute. How can they do this to me? What would my father say if he found out what Marcus was doing? Maybe he wouldn’t even notice that I was gone. Maybe this would be for the best.
“You got yourself a deal, Beta. Veronica for the safety of your pack.” Logan said as he extended his hand for the closing of the deal.
“Thank you, Alpha. Alpha Ethan will be pleased to hear that our pack still has you and you people to help keep our pack safe.” Their hands met for a handshake.
Tears started to fill my eyes. First I was a useless mutt and now I’m some consolation prize. My eyes fell to the floor. Then Mia’s voice echoed through my ears, “Veronica. How dare you stand here next to the Alpha?”
“Don’t speak to her that way.”
“But Alpha, she needs to get back to work.”
“I don’t think so. She isn’t yours anymore. You’re not allowed to tell her what to do anymore.”
“What? Marcus, what is he talking about?”

Logan’s POV“She will be leaving with me. Marcus here, offered her to me, and I gladly accepted her.”“Marcus you did what?”Looking down at Veronica, I could see she wasn’t happy to have been offered to me. She needs to be saved for this place with everything I have seen. But, little does she know, she is the one that had saved me. I’m eighty present sure, maybe more. From the moment I saw her, I knew who she was, but weirdly enough she didn’t know who I was. I understood why she was afraid of me, I had a strong reputation of being cruel and heartless. But that is only because I was treated as such. The bastard son of the Alpha of the Crystal Moon Pack. I had to stand in to become the Alpha when my father died years ago because my father didn’t have any other sons.Searching for years, I think it might have been nine or ten that I have been searching for her. Finally, I have found her. With Marcus offering her to me, it was all part of my plan. I knew that he would do anything to pl

Veronica’s POVThe sun shone through my window, and tiredness was unable to take me to dreamland. Making my way to my feet I made my way downstairs, searching for the kitchen. After a few minutes of searching, I finally found it. Opening the fridge, I saw the luxury of food displayed. With a deep breath, I grabbed some of the food and started making breakfast. I needed to show the Alpha that I was not a useless mutt.The smell of bacon and eggs filled the kitchen air, as the music echoed. I danced as I made food. As I turned around to place the pan of bacon on the table I was startled when I saw Logan standing behind me. The pan dropped to the ground and the bacon and its oils splattered all over the floor. Some even fell onto my skin, giving me burn wounds.“Shit! Are you all right?”“I’m-“ I bend down to quickly clean up the mess that I had made. But, sadly my eyes started to get watery.“Hey.”“I’m so sorry Alpha. I promise to clean the mess.”“Hey! Stop!” He grabbed my hands holdi

Marcus’s POVI waited on the ground in the grand hall, Alpha Ethan had asked to speak with me. The anticipation was killing me. My knees were hurting and I was getting tired from all the waiting. After last night by sealing the deal with Alpha Logan I thought I would be getting a good job or something. I saved the pack from not being able to protect themselves. Then the sound of footsteps echoed through the air. I sat up straight and waited to know why I was called here.“What the fuck were you thinking Beta?”“Alpha.”“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Ethan said then slapped me through the face.I closed my eyes but didn’t dare to show pain, “Alpha, I didn’t have any other choice. Alpha Logan was planning on leaving and-““And you decided to offer your step-sister to our enemy?”“Wait. I don’t understand. I thought you sent me there to keep them on our side.”“Exactly. Not to fucking give one of our pack members to him. Even if she was useless. What kind of message will this send t

Veronica’s POVPlacing my ear on the bathroom door to hear if Logan had taken me to my work. Yet, he did. With shaky hands I opened the door, peering out I saw the room was empty. Not even the curtains were moving. With a deep breath I stepped out, my feet sticking to the tile floors. I stood in front of my bed wondering if I should lay down or sleep on the mat that was placed next to it. “Why am I here? Why did Marcus make me believe that I was doing good by coming with Logan? I should have run away. Away from everyone and everything.” My voice was barely audible. Then a knock on my door made me startle. Making my heart beat extremely fast. “Who is it?” My voice shaking.“Miss Veronica, Alpha Logan had sent me to give you something. Can I come in?”“Um… Sure…”The door creaked open, and Henry poked his head through the opening. “I do apologise for the intrusion, but Alpha Logan requests your company in the dining hall in,” He looked at his watch, “Two hours time.

Veronica’s POVFalling onto my bed, I curled into a ball and tears just kept pouring out. The soft hum of the light filled the silence. It was late, and the moon cast a pale glow through the blinds, it casted painting stripes on the floor. I was trying to fall asleep but my thoughts kept drifting back to Logan. It was the first time he had raised his voice at me. Today had been the breaking point, with him snapping at me over something so stupid, so childish. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something much deeper was bothering him, and I don’t think it was the fact that I was underfed. It couldn’t be. And why would he care for me? Why would he want to be nice to someone that is nothing in a pack? A knock at the door snapped me back into reality. My heart raced as I stood up. I took a big breath and dried my tears and made my way across the room. I didn’t want to see anyone right now, especially not Logan. But the knock came again, more insistent this time. My hands trembling slight

Veronica’s POVMy eyes shot open as pain radiated up my leg the moment I tried to turn in bed. I blinked against the bright morning light that filtered through the curtains. My mind started playing back the event that happened the night before. ‘The fall in the forest. Can’t believe I was so stupid, I just had to stand still. Why didn’t I look where I was stepping? The sharp, twisting pain in my ankle as I fell to the ground.’I tried to sit up, but a stabbing pain shot up my leg making me wince. With a groan, I swung my legs over the side of the bed, gently testing my weight on the injured ankle. Nope. Not happening. I sank back into the soft mattress, frustrated I let out a loud sigh. Staring at the ceiling I heard the door creak open, startled, I sat up. An unfamiliar face stood in the doorframe, her silhouette sharp against the dim light of the hallway. Her eyes were cold, a predatory gleam in them. My pulse quickened for all the wrong reasons.“Hi?” My voice shaky.“You must be

Logan’s POVI sat in my study, I worked through the papers in front of me. Andrew gave a soft knock on the door and peered through the gap. Glancing up, I noticed he was anxious to tell me what he had discovered. “Enter Beta.” I said leaning back in my chair.He entered holding a file containing information I had asked for, but his face told me he had found more than we had anticipated. “Tell me. What did you find?” I leaned forwards resting my face on my fists, my interest peaked.Andrew cleared his throat, he glanced around as if the wall might hear, “Veronica’s past… It’s a bit complicated.” “Complicated? How?” “Well, her mother…”“Get to it Andrew.” “She wasn’t just the Luna of her pack. She was much more. Way more.” He said sitting down on the other side of my desk, “She… was a dream hopper.” The words hung in the air. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my chin. Dream hoppers were rare, their abilities both praised and feared. To be able to control and traverse dreams gave o

I turned over and was greeted by an unexpected sight, a stunning dress hung over a chair that was standing in the corner of the room. Its delicate fabric caught the bright sunlight.Before I could admire the dress too much, a soft knock echoed through the room. The door slowly opened and a friendly face peaked in.“Good morning, Miss Veronica.” She greeted, her voice soft and warm, “May I help you get ready?”“Get ready?”“Oh, yes Miss. Alpha Logan has given me orders to help you get ready for the day he has planned for you.” She said as she started packing her things out on the dressing table.I nodded, and she gave me a hand to get out of bed. She led me to the chair placed in front of the mirror. As she worked on my makeup, the room filled with a faint scent of rosewater and lavender. Her ha

Veronica’s POVI watched as Logan walked away. My fingers nervously tapped on my lap, trying to calm myself, trying not to feel nervous and anxious. The thought of being in a place like this, it felt wrong, I felt so exposed. The chandeliers that cast a golden light that felt too warm, too suffocating. My heart started pounding as my eyes scanned around the room. I could feel the judgemental stares from some of the people here.The way they whispered behind their hands. I knew their whispers were about me, a rogue, an outsider. Someone who wasn’t worthy of being with the Alpha. And no matter how hard I tried to push it aside, to ignore them as I was told by Logan, I could help but feel like I didn’t belong here.Logan’s words played in the back of my mind, ‘You belong here. With me.’ But no matter how much I wanted to believe it, my mind didn’t allow me to. I was starting to feel like I was standing on the edge of something fragile, ready to break at any moment. Suddenly, the chair ac

Logan’s POVI stood at the bottom of the stairs, the whispers of my pack surrounded me like a background noise. Normally, I wouldn’t be fazed by their presence, but tonight was different. My focus was on her, and only her. Tonight was the night that I would show her what she meant to me, this wasn’t just any normal night out. She belonged here, belonged here with me. By my side as my Luna, no matter what anyone thought.The second I sent that dress to her room, I knew she would look stunning in it. There was no doubt about that. I knew Veronica was still trying to figure out who she was, still clinging to her past that had her scarred. But the woman I saw wasn’t a rogue, wasn’t someone broken. She was powerful, fierce, and despite everything she’d been through, there was something that made her… Mine.My wolf growled in approval as I saw her descending from the stairs. Her heels clicked against the floor. It was like my breathing had stopped, my heart pounded intensely as she was now

Veronica’s POVReaching the hallway leading to my room, my thoughts were still focused on the events of that day. But something was different… I was different. Everything that I saw, I saw differently, every sound, then I pushed open the door leading to my room, a strange sight greeted me. A black dress laid carefully on my bed, next to it was a note with beautiful, elegant handwriting.I slowly made my way closer to it, picking up the note, then I started reading: “I’m proud of you. Wear this tonight. I can’t wait to see you. - Logan”My heart skipped a beat as I read the note. His way of stating this always makes me fluster. His powerful, commanding tone. It made the note feel more personal than it should be. But the idea of him being proud of me, no one had ever been proud of me except for my mom. I set the note down and turned my attention to the dress. It was stunning. The fabric shimmered under the light that shone through the window. Picking up the dress, I made my way over t

Veronica’s POVAfter breakfast I made my way to the training grounds where Grace was waiting for me. My emotions were all over the place, I have never shifted into my wolf form. Anticipation and nerves were swirling in my stomach. The sun had made its way out of the clouds making the ground heat up and allowing the heat to attack my face.The sound of warriors sparring in the distance. The air smelled of earth and sweat, the smell of hard work. Grace stood on one of the platforms, her expression was serious, but I could see a hint of excitement. “Are you ready?” She asked as I approached her.Taking a big breath then nodded, “Do I have a choice?”She giggled slightly, then motioned for me to climb onto the platform. The space was made sure that no one can hurt one another when practising. There was a big tree casting a shadow over us. “Okay. So, turning into a wolf can be very overwhelming. Especially when it is your first time. With time it gets easier, but the first transition is c

Veronica’s POVThe sunlight slowly shone through the curtains, waking me up gently. I stretched, feeling that Logan was still lying close beside me, and I smiled. I sat upright, then quietly made my way to the bathroom. My muscles were sore in the best way, a reminder of the intense and wonderful night we had shared. It didn’t feel real, it felt like it was a dream that I was about to wake up from. I turned on the shower allowing the water to heat up. As the water warmed up, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, my hair was a mess. And the thought of Logan’s touch made my skin tingle once more. I traced my finger over my collarbone, remembering the way his lips moved over my body. Stepping into the shower, allowing the hot water to flow over me. The steam of the water covered the bathroom, making it difficult to see. Then I heard the door of the shower open and I turned around to find Logan standing in the doorway. Naked. “Is there space for one more?” He asked with a grin th

Veronica’s POVI stood there, barely able to breathe as Logan’s thumb brushed against my cheek. His touch, it was warm and comforting, gentle, shockwaves flowed through my body. My heart raced rapidly, making me warm up. If it wasn’t for the cold night breeze blowing through the open window I think I might pass out. “Logan.” I whispered, trying to find words. The pull between us, what was happening? It was like I wanted him, but I was afraid. It felt like the entire world was standing still but our breaths were indicating that it wasn’t.His eyes still locked with mine, I was both terrified and excited. With every encounter that we had, the pull hadn’t been so intense as it is now. I wanted and needed him, and I needed him now more than ever. “Everything… It… Feels different. I can’t stop feeling you. Your heartbeat, your breathing. When you’re not here it feels like you are.” I admitted, my gaze fell to his lips.His right hand fell to my waist, and his other hand still cupped my f

Logan’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about her.They way she was standing there, her eyes shining with emotions she couldn’t hide. It felt that everything that had happened at the South Border faded in an instance. It was like she brought me back to reality, to what really mattered. She was the only thing that kept me going, to keep fighting, to survive. The bond between us, something I’d only felt, but when our skin touched it made her feel what I was feeling.I couldn’t believe that she had finally got her wolf, something that I knew she was longing for. Not able to stop thinking about her, my mind was with her and not in the boardroom where it needed to be. My mind was miles away. The chatter of my pack were only whispers, the table my eyes were fixed on was a blur. All that I could see was Veronica standing in front of me, her happiness to see that I have returned.“Sir?” Cain’s voice cut through my thoughts.I blinked, focusing on the long table in front of me. Cain was standing

Veronica’s POVI looked over to the direction as Logan and the pack made their way into the boardroom, the door then closed behind them. The reality of what had happened didn’t yet sink in. I was now bound to Logan, an Alpha on a pack, a leader that was strong and loyal. I had never imagined that something like this would ever happen to someone like me. But, for some strange reason it just felt right, like it was supposed to be like this.Leaning against the wall, trying to catch my breath, feeling the weight of every single thing settling over me. Grace made her way over to me, she didn’t speak but the twinkle in her eyes said that she understood. She placed her hand on my shoulder, her touch was filled with comfort and reassurance. “It’s a lot, isn’t it?” She said her voice just above whisper.I nodded, “I didn’t expect… This feeling. The way everything had happened. Nobody ever tells you how it is to find your mate. They always just say that it is magical, I didn’t expect anything

Veronica’s POVThree days had passed, and there was still no sight of Logan. The waiting started to make a knot in my stomach. For the past few days I sat on the steps waiting for him, hoping that he would return home. My eyes were fixed on the distant road, I started imagining how I would react when he would walk up the road. The warmth of the sun’s rays tickled my skin, but it did little to calm the worry.Everyday went by longer and longer without him, and the questions still played through my mind.What if something had happened to him?What if he was laying lifeless somewhere? What if?The bond between Athina and I was growing stronger day by day, and her presence gave me confidence. But the fear of not knowing if Logan was okay or not, gnawed at me. Leaning forward, resting my chin on my knees, the silence of the mention was soothing. I could feel Grace’s gaze on me, I knew she was looking over me. She gave me space, but if I needed her she would be next to me in just seconds.
