She doesn't have plans to fall in love with Veron. She was traumatized even though she wasn't unaware she might fall in love with Jaxon. Her opinions about relationships instantly changed because of what happened to her.However, she chose to use the pain that Jaxon had caused her to have the strength to fight for the throne. She wished that Jaxon would see that she wasn't the weak Veronica that she knew. Aside from that, she thought that she could easily find Morgan once she would be decisive.She stepped forward and still noticed Ava was following her. She was in disbelief when Ava looked that she didn't have plans to give her privacy with Veron.“I'm only trying to protect you. I will be your Beta, so I'm always beside you.” Ava crossed her arms, trying not to be affected, when she glared at her.“I thought you wanted to have a vacation. If you are my new Beta, does it mean that you are not even allowed to get the break that you want? Ava, you're my sister, but it doesn't mean I wi
Veronica didn't know how long she slept but she got woke up when a rat came in her direction. She yelled in fear and stopped screaming when she heard a man chuckle at her.She paused for a moment and checked who it was. She gasped when she saw an unfamiliar man, who was standing behind her. It seemed the man had the same age as Jaxon based on his body build.“Who are you?” She asked and stepped back. She felt worried that the man might hurt her. She gulped when the man laughed so loudly.The man stepped forward, while there was a grin on his lips. He pursed his lips and tried to intimidate her again.“Don't come near me! Shit!” She cursed so loudly as she took the stick that was nearer to her. The man shook his head and chuckled.“Did you think that you can kill me using that thing?” There was a mockery in the man's tone. He crossed his arms and stared at the dry wooden stick in Veronica's hands.“I can't kill you using this. What important is I can use this to stop you from coming cl
Veronica took a deep breath when she glanced at the man who was watching her from cutting the ingredient. She was uncomfortable, and she felt that she wanted the man to leave him alone.“Why are you stopping from cutting it? I want to make sure that you will not dare to put some poison in my food. Am I bad?”“You're not bad. You are only skeptical. It's fine but is it okay with you to move away from me? I felt uncomfortable.”“I don't feel uncomfortable. It's your problem, and not mine. Did you think that I'm sympathetic to my student? You are here to learn something from me. I wanted to make sure that you aren't bait.”“What? I can't understand what you mean. Do you have an enemy that you're trying to hide?”“I have a lot. They were bad on me because I was too stunning in their eyes. They were scared that I might steal their mates.” He smirked and suppressed his laughter.She hardly breathed and stabbed the knife. She was done with it. “I want to cook peacefully. Leave me alone. I ca
Veronica felt that she didn't have a chance to get the revenge that she was hoping to do to those people who mistreated her. She swallowed a lot of water. She was sure that she would die.What about Morgan? She was sure that Morgan was waiting for her to find him. She knew her child, Morgan, loved her so much.In her dreams, Morgan was cheering for her so that she could finish her training. She would be powerful, and he was the one who would be proud of her at first.“Mom...” She gasped, and the water came inside her once again. Her eyes opened, and she saw Morgan, who was smiling at her. She must be crazy to see her child in the middle of the lake.Seeing how Morgan gave her the sweetest smile made her remember her feelings when she held him. How she became emotional when she heard his first cries. Morgan was the one who didn't leave him.Morgan loved her tenderly even though she was too stupid to let Jaxon maltreat her. Morgan was the one who cried when she almost lost her life.“Mo
Uriel didn't know what he would answer to Jaxon. The truth was, he tried to ask Ava about it because they were friends--- childhood friends, to be exact. However, Ava didn't say anything about Veronica.What would he do next? He even asked someone to spy on her pack, but they didn't see her. He only gambled because it was Ava, Veronica's sister. He thought that Veronica might ask Ava for her help especially since she was the Alpha of this pack.He gulped when Jaxon gave him a cold gaze. His Alpha expected him to announce good news after they did everything to find Veronica's body. He was certain Jaxon couldn't sleep properly because Morgan and Veronica weren't with him.“My apologies, Alpha. I went to her pack, and she didn't say anything. Did you forget that Veronica was cast out of their pack when she got pregnant with Morgan? They have a conservative pack, and they disliked the idea that their future Alpha got pregnant without having a mate.” Uriel informed him. He paused for a mom
“Are you too mad at him that you didn't want to see him? There were a lot of women who wanted to be his mate. You're lucky that you are the chosen one.” The man smirked when he finally let out his sarcastic words. She pursed her lips and continued eating her meal. She swallowed hard.“I don't want to say everything that you just need to know. Alpha Jaxon is the cruelest Alpha that I had ever known. He's the enemy of my parent's pack. I was about to inherit my pack. I'm too stupid that I ate their trap.” She honestly admitted. The man gasped but it took him a minute to hide his emotion.He took another bite and shook his head in disappointment before he said, “You're not stupid. It's about the mate bond. Some Alphas didn't like to see their mate. They might be their strength, but having a mate means you have a weakness. The mate bond controlled the werewolf's lives.”“What do you mean?” She was confused. She couldn't understand what the man had been telling her.“He's your weakness bec
She didn't know how long they waited to ensure the rogues would leave. James didn't say anything. He was closing his eyes while they tried to listen to their surroundings.“You're my master, but you didn't even try to fight with them. I'm thinking, why you didn't do it?” Veronica whispered. She was panting as she couldn't breathe properly because of the space in the cave.James glared at her but held her arms. He tightened his grip on her hand. “We need to go back to the safe house. You can't breathe properly.” He muttered.“I'm fine. I'm just thinking, why you didn't fight with them?” Veronica didn't want to stop until she finally got her desired answer. She was curious, for she knew how James knew how to fight.“You are with me. I don't want to gamble to fight with them while you run with me.” James answered. She was dumbfounded. Does it mean she was a burden in his eyes? She heard her wolf growling in anger.Her lips trembled and pushed James' hand, making James stunned momentarily
Her tears started to form in her eyes, which made James rush towards her and check the content of the letter. Ava texted her about how much she missed her. It was an encouraging letter that made her do everything to have the strength to fight.She gulped as she looked back at James, who was sighing in relief. James stumped his foot and gave her a death glare."I can't believe that I thought that it was bad news." James widened his eyes at her, which made her chuckle. She pursed her lips and crossed her arms."I don't like to see a woman who easily cries because of some small things," James commented, which led her to get the knife and throw it at him. James was surprised that he quickly avoided the knife. "Hey! What I mean is, is it your fault that I think something bad?""What do you want me to do after I read her letter? Do you want me to jump happily or even dance in front of you? Of course, I will cry because I never get a chance to be supported by someone. Did you even know how i
