Logan’s POVMarcus snarled beneath me, his mouth snapping too close to my throat. But I was no longer interested in his taunts. My metre just kept filling with rage and with all my strength I pressed down harder. The determination to end this now, once and for all. I saw that his eyes scanned looking for a way to escape, he started to smell like desperation. But, I knew there was no escape for him, not anymore.“You can keep looking for a way out, but there is none. There is no more hope for escape, Marcus. You are weak.” I growled, my voice low and lethal, “You have always been weak. That is why you will die here. Today.” Pressing down even harder I heard a loud snap. Marcus’s eyes widened and then blood started to escape from his mouth. With all my force I broke his chest making it impale each of his organs.He still attempted to struggle, but it was too late. I could feel the life leaving his body as I still stood over him. The outcasts still continued their fight against my pack,
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.
Veronica’s POVAnother year had passed. I had aged by one year. But yet no one seems to care. I had always been the outcast in my pack. Never been able to fit in anywhere. They have always called me a rouge, a disappointment, even a disgrace. My life has always been horrible. A life full of hurtful words, which cut deeper than any sword that I have ever polished.Celebrating my eighteenth birthday working in a kitchen, rather than partying with the rest of the pack. Well, what else is expected from a rogue? I was ordered to work in this dirty kitchen to help prepare the food and drinks for Ellie and Kyle's engagement. Ellie is one of the biggest Alpha’s daughters.Can’t believe anyone would want to marry her. Besides her beauty, she is a horrible person. She scolds anyone who just looks at her funny. To think anyone can love someone like her. But in Kyle’s defence, he will be in line for the throne when Alpha Alexander needs to step down. Kyle would then be the Alpha of the biggest pa
Veronica’s POVLogan’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.”
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. Please take a nice
