“What's the matter, Veron?” Veronica couldn't stop herself from asking Veron, especially when she noticed that he seemed upset and bothered at the same time.She walked in his direction without breaking their eye contact, making Veron gasp momentarily. He looked away when she was in front of him.“What's happening? Is there something wrong?” she paused, and her lips trembled in fear, “Did Jaxon find me here?”She knew that there was a possibility that Jaxon might find her too fast. He wouldn't be one of the best Alphas if he didn't have the ability.“I-I don't know. Please stay here then; I will check whoever they are.” Veron replied, making her think that it was Jaxon.She stepped back. Her hands started to shake aggressively, and she bit her lips to prevent them from exposing her feelings. She didn't like to see Jaxon, and she knew that Jaxon would force her to be with him.“O-Okay, inform me right away if it's not Jaxon,” she mumbled, and tears formed in her eyes suddenly. She thou
“This is hilarious. We are all aware that you're a slut our enemy's pack. Are you trying to make fun of us? What makes you think that we will accept you as the Alpha if you can't even protect your own son?” One of the elders exclaimed, making Veronica gritted her teeth in anger. How could they talk about her son as if she was an unworthy mother?She did everything for Morgan. She endured to be with Jaxon for a long time because she was thinking about his right, as the successor of Jaxon's pack.“Shut up!” Her teeth clenched in anger, and she took a deep breath to calm herself. She wouldn't like to lose against them. She needed the pack so she could go back, and slapped Jaxon so that she wouldn't be the dumb Veronica that he knew.“I agreed with him. You can't protect your flesh and blood. What will you do to our pack?” Another elder uttered and laughed as he took the wine glass.Veronica watched the other elders take their wine glasses, and drink the wine in them. They seemed pleased
The elders gazed at the wine, and they trembled when they realized that they drunk a lot of wine. They were all aware that the wine was quite expensive, and that's why they enjoyed it.“I still remember that those pack members did everything to get that wine. It's helpful. I never thought that wine will be a great pawn to my plans. You are all stupid for drinking it. You all think that I'm stupid, then I'm only trying to make you all see that I'm clever too.” She finished drinking the wine in one gulp. She clapped her hands and took the bottle again. She grinned and looked at the elders.“Veronica, you're a monster! We are the elders, and you're trying to kill us!”“Yes, she's a monster! She's not the daughter of the Alpha, I think.”“Argh...” One of the elders fell, making some of them scream in horror. The man was vomiting while he was unconscious.“This is unacceptable!”“Let's call the Alpha!”“She's a murderer!”The elders didn't know what they were going to do especially when an
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
