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
Veronica’s POVA little glimpse of light shone through the curtains, shining right onto my face. I slowly started to wake up, rubbing my eyes I let out a yawn and let my arms fall onto the bed. 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
Logan’s POVAs we walked out of the dress shop, I couldn’t help but notice how skinny Veronica was when I placed my hand on her back. I glanced at her, but her eyes were fixed to the ground, she was lost in her own thoughts. It was understandable, today was overwhelming to her. She had never been to town and being around so many people. She had always been trapped away from society, only around people she knew.“Are you alright?” I asked softly.She looked up at me, her gaze didn’t meet mine, “I’m fine. Just processing everything.”I tugged my hands into my pocked, looking up at the sky, “That’s understandable. I get it. But there is one more thing that we have to do today.” It was silent, then I continued, “I want you to meet my pack.”Her eyes widened slightly, “Your pack?” She asked with hesitation.I nodded as I opened the car door for her, “Yes. You’ll be staying there, so it would just be fair for you to meet everyone.” She climbed in, and I made my way around the car and climbe
Logan’s POVI had gotten an invitation from Alpha Ethan, that he was requesting my presents. Already knowing what it would be about, I knew it was a risk going there. But as Alpha, I could hardly reject an invitation to go and see another Alpha regarding business. Leaving early, around six in the morning to be on time for the nine o’clock meeting. I was still tired from last night, going to sleep that late, but I was used to it, sleeping early wasn’t part of having the title as Alpha.As we drove onto the driveway, Ethan was waiting for me in the clearing, his posture was rigid and his eyes hard. He wasn’t one to hide his emotions well. You could always tell what he was feeling, even if it was heartache. But from what I could see he looked pissed. The instant he saw my car drive in, his eyes darkened even more.“Logan.” His voice greeted me as I stepped out.“Ethan.” I replied, my tone matching his. There was no point of fake friendliness. We both knew why I was there.“Let’s go to m
Marcus’s POVI sat in Ethan’s office, my heart pounding in my chest making it difficult to breathe. The air filled with tension, the kind that can make your skin crawl. I was ordered to meet with Ethan, and I knew exactly what this was about. Assuming the meeting with Alpha Logan went horribly wrong. Then the creek of the door behind me made me startle. Throwing myself around, my eyes met as the figure stepped in.“Alpha Ethan.” I quickly jumped to my feet, showing respect by bowing my head.“Marcus.” He began, his voice dangerously calm, “I’m assuming you know why you are here. Why I called you into my office.”I nodded, swallowing hard, “Yes, Alpha.”He grabbed my head and gave me an uneasy smile, before I knew it my head was against the table. Pain spiked through my face, “Logan has refused to return Veronica. Do you understand the gravity of the situation? The mess that you have caused?”I tried to open my eyes but he held me pinned down, placing more and more force, “I didn’t thi
Veronica’s POVThe birds chirped with joy at my windowsill, as the sun made its way through the curtains. My eyes opened slowly, with a moan I pulled the bedcovers over my head. Then I threw myself open and sat on the corner of the bed. Looking out of the window close to my bed, I watched as the birds sat in the trees. The beautiful colours, red, blue, white. Oh, how I wished that I was a bird. Free to fly anywhere.With a sigh I made my way to the bathroom to take a warm and relaxing shower. I was alone, so to speak. Logan probably left early for his meeting. Only he would know what his meeting held for him. After my shower I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. In search of something to eat, my stomach was rumbling. Opening the fridge I found a piece of chicken that I hope was from last night. Taking it in my hand I sniffed it to make sure it was still safe for human consumption. I looked around making sure no one saw me eat it. Not knowing if I’m allowed to eat it, but I was so
Marcus’s POV“Alpha Logan.” I began, trying to keep my voice steady. His office was filled with shelves reaching to the ceiling. I couldn’t figure out what kind of book he enjoys. Trying to look around to find something to talk about to make the tension less than it was, “It’s a pleasure meeting again.” “Mm. Well?” He said with his eyes fixed onto the papers spread across his desk.I cleared my throat, knowing he wasn’t wanting any small talk, “I’m here, regarding Veronica.”“Are you now? I wouldn’t have guessed.” Setting his pen down, he leaned back into his chair. Now his eyes were on me. “Assuming you’re here to try and clean up your mess. And that Ethan gave you orders to try and convince me to give up Veronica. But, I’m going to stop you and save you the trouble.” He paused for a moment, and an evil smirk appeared on his face, “No.”“Logan-”“Alpha. I’m Alpha Logan to you. If you don’t mind, I have things to do and it doesn’t involve talking to you.”“It was a mistake that I gav
Logan’s POVSitting at the dining room table, I waited for Veronica to meet me. Not knowing if she would actually come, all I could do was wait. I needed her to come and have dinner with me, I had to tell her everything. Hopefully then she won’t be afraid of me. Maybe, just maybe she would see me as a friend and not her enemy. The room was silent, the only sounds that echoed through the air was the tapping of my finger on the table and the sound of my own thoughts. Maya had already made us dinner. I was starving, but I was not willing to eat if Veronica wasn’t sitting across from me. “Henry?”“Yes Sir.”“Do you know if Veronica is coming or not?”“I’m not sure Sir. I would say give it ten more minutes.”“Right.” I let out a sigh, and then Henry cleared his throat making me look up. Then I saw her once again. Her beauty made me lose all ability to speak. She stepped closer and Andrew pulled out the chair for her to sit. “Hey.” I greeted her softly. I couldn’t help but feel the tensio
