VERONICA

I stand up from my sit, ready to go back to my room before the others. My husband was right there panting heavily like someone that did a hard labour. I didn't mind his stare at me as i drag myself and my gown away from the courtyard.

"Where the hell do you think you are going?" Emily muttered between her teeth to me as our eyes met.

"Away" I demonstrate with my hand. It seems they are all waiting for food to be served but the real fact is that I am not a foodie. I might rather starve.

However as the 'old king stood, my waist unconsciously dragged my butt back to my chair.

What? They weren't done. What was I thinking?! I haven't even read the speech I was given to read.

This is so frustrating. I was literally the only one standing. I am so embarrassed that I wish the ground could swallow me up.

The king moved a few step forward to address his subjects although not without aid. His health is probably getting worse unfortunately I pray he lives long enough untill I am read

    VERONICAOne side of the old steeple temple was covered with weird clothing.The other side contained a small house, where a woman came out once we stepped foot in the compound.The fowl smell and the reeking smell of blood soaking down the soil hovered in the air, and I covered my nose in disgust.Different animals pile up against each other. It was a horrific sight to behold. I had to draw back, waiting for the others to walk far ahead with my hands still covering my nose."Walk faster, Veronica." Eva waved her hand to me; although she didn't say a word, I knew that's what she meant.I increased my pace until I got to where they were standing."We shouldn't have come here," I murmured, looking carefully at the ground to avoid stepping on something that could possibly ruin my dress. I get disgusted so easily."Then you can go back; it's not too late." Prince Ezra's sarcasm was clearly evident in his words. I simply sighed loudly."You can come inside now," a woman, whom I guess is th

    VERONICAI have heard about that forest countless times from my grandmother. She warned me never to enter it. I never knew her reason was because I do not have a wolf.The forest of Ravenswood breeds all threats to werewolves' lives. There are evil spirits flocking around. There are werewolf hunters looking for prey to kill. They are leaves that could be poisonous to us. There are so many things I am going to find out today."I should hold my funeral before I enter there," I murmured to myself. "Scared" is an understatement of how I feel at the moment. The king sure doesn't like me, or even my sight. I am sure his two sons are as well, and this is my first time meeting Eva.What if all this was their plan to get rid of me? I should probably run now that it's still earlier. I could run from this pack to another pack very far away."What are you doing? We are fvcking running out of the damn time! Vera," Prince Grimgor growls.Look, he called me Vera; maybe there was a plan to kill me af

    VERONICA This wasn't what I expected. I am scared to death at the moment. How could a door possibly push me away with such force?I try to stand on my feet; my ankle has a fracture, and the pain stinks."Anyone here to help me?" I am sorry, Eva. You guys could stop the pranking or whatever it is you are doing. I beg of you!" I scream at the top of my cracked voice. Anyone who hears me will completely figure out that I am about to cry.My voice echoes back to me, as I expected. The wind suddenly became louder and blew the flowers to the floor. In my wildest imagination, I could not believe that something like this would ever happen. An old woman of close to eighty years with long wavy gray hair appeared, or, should I say, formed, with the flowers.This reminded me of Prince Grimgor's exact words when he said that no one should make any noise in the forest of Ravenswood."Who dares disturb the comfort of my subjects?" The woman's fierce voice echoes down to my ear."I am sorry; please

    VERONICA I wasn't imagining it; I was seeing it."Why?... I can see everything you say?" I am more than curious to know so I ask. She places her index finger on her lips. "Shhh, just listen," she says.I can't believe the story I am hearing are mine. I could see the woman that always visited me when I was sick.. My father too. He was a Gemini wolf..No wonder where I got my beautiful face from.I could remember slowly, my past memories with my mother, how I use to run around the castle with.jer and sneaking out from my room after my bedtime stories to watch the moon and get some air. I was once a princess. Living my life to the fullest. Then I was the one to command and not the one to be commanded. Balls of tears drop from my eyes as I think about how things suddenly changed.I never knew I was a sacrifice. It happened that the Lycans had made an agreement with my father to sacrifice their first child to them years ago before my father became an Alpha. The reason wasn't detailed

    VERONICAI followed the path that she points to me and soon enough I got to another weirder part of the forest. Everywhere was thick dark. It must be night already, but the other place was as bright as morning a few seconds ago..I look around, and fortunately I can see a glimpse of light at a very far distance. I turn in the direction and start to run towards it, lifting my leg so high in order not to hit something and fall. I ram as fast as I could in the dark, but it seems the light goes farther with each of my step. Even as I tripped and fell, I stood back up and continue my run, although I could not just run as fast as I would have if it was bright enough. I pave the way forward with my hands to avoid hitting my forehead on a tree. My hand should be less painful compared to when I hit my head . I try my best to keep my mouth shut to avoid getting a bigger trouble. I figured something up. I might be able to form flames that will help me see if really I got plenty powers like th

    VERONICAFew weeks ago, I was reluctant about everything now I am desperate.I went straight to my room to get a change of cloth and also take my bath once we got back to the castle. My stomach rumbles in excitement. I would soon be the Luna of Ravenswood. Prince Grimgor brought back the stuff we went in search of.. I never knew the name.. I also don't know how or when but they already had it before I came to them that night.I heard a knock at the door and rush to open it up.. although it was.a wrong timing..I still had my towel tied to my chest."Prince Grimgor, I wasn't expecting you" I say shyly hiding the embarssment."Oh..Hear I am. And there is something we must discuss" he says. He sounded urgent so I allowed him in and shot the door after him.."What.. I am all ears my Lord" I say smiling childishly out of excitement. We will soon be married after.all.."I do not wish to marry you Veronica " prince Grimgor says without hesitation.It came as a shock to me. I am not sure if

    VERONICA"I, Prince Grimgor, reject you, Veronica, as my mate."Everywhere became quiet, and all eyes went from him to me. I guess my countenance doesn't look like someone who just got rejected."Everything holds as planned. If you want, you can reject yourself as a prince, but a new king emerges today. Together with a Luna. The pack has suffered without a Luna for a long time," the king said and left the table. He didn't even try to consider his son's opinion."Then... I will have to quit being the crown prince and future king of Ravenswood," Prince Grimgor said with a firm voice.I never knew he hated me this much.His father turned and, after staring at him for a few minutes, continued walking to wherever he was going."I think I should get going now," I say, leaving the table while Eva follows behind. I don't even know the relationship she has with them, but I am sure their families are so close that she could sleep over and even have breakfast with the king and crown prince.She

    VERONICA I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm of emotions swirling within me as Grimgor finally uttered those fateful words, "Yes, I will." Relief washed over me, mingled with a tinge of fear. I had been terrified that he would reject the position and, with it, the responsibility of marrying me.The king's gaze searched the crowd, finally landing on my face. It felt as if he could see straight into my soul, unraveling my doubts and fears with a single look. His voice resonated through the hall: "Do you accept to serve Ravenswood and be a mother to them?"I almost questioned myself, my voice catching in my throat. Plans had changed, and I had never anticipated being thrust into this role. Yet, without hesitation, I replied, "Yes."That was it. They made me kneel beside Grimgor, my heart pounding in my chest. As the crown was placed on our heads, a mix of cheers and applause erupted from the crowd. "Long live King Grimgor. Long live Luna Veronica!" they chanted, their voices

    KING GRIMGOR'S POVIt's been ten years since I and Veronica have been together. Today was our wedding anniversary.Ten whooping years wasn't easy, but guess who made it easier, Veronica? No, not just twins; we also have another. Baby girl,. I guess we will call it a wrap.I always knew that Veronica was like a moon goddess sent to earth. Her powers were so great that everyone from different packs and clans came to seek her out.Josh stands in the garden holding a flower. He is so much like me. No. He was just me when I was much younger.He was incredibly smart. More than I was. He was already talking about meeting his wife and loving her more than I loved his mother.I doubt there is a greater love than the one I have for Veronica."What are you doing staring at your son, daddy? I thought I was your favorite?" Judy said. I wonder how long she was standing and staring at us both. The last I remembered, she was there with her brother, picking flowers in my mother's garden."Oh, my baby.

    Four years later.,"Judy!" I called my four-year-old girl. She ran as fast as she could and got to my room, only for her to withdraw.Yes, mummy," she answered, quietly seeing the mess she caused in my room."What the Fuck did you do to my room?" I asked. There is no need to be sure whether she was really the culprit. The expensive lipstick Grimgor got for me when he went to Italy was all over her face."Mom!" "Answer me." She looked at me like she would rather walk out than answer."You are using the F word, mommy," Judy said. I bit my lips from the inside. I could easily make a mistake in front of Josh, and he will let me be."Come here, bring your butt. You need some serious spanking!" I went towards her, but the little... (opps, I promised not to abuse her again)... Ran away for me to chase her.I did, and I was going to give her more than just a spank when I caught up with her.Judy knows the right direction to run.

    In a place we're they was nothing but darkness emerged two bright lights. Each light show brighter than the sun itself ."Damn. Where is that bloody fellow" Ezra muttered to himself looking around ad the whole vampires that gathered where seeking for a refuge to hide themselves away from the lights. "Where is he?. Your boss I mean" he said again with all seriousness. But got no response. It was weird for both him and sam that the vampire king didn't show up..Some men managed to pose for fight against them. "Drop your swords helpless fellow, yes I will kill you all but at least I wanted it to be a painless death" Ezra bragged. He haven't fought for a while though because his over protective brother would not want him to get hurt. But even with all that, he still wasn't so much pressured because he has always being as good as grimgor. The men still insisted on fighting even with the light that was almost burning their skin. Probably to buy time before the vampire king will come.

    The D-Day.Everyone was already prepared for the day. Even those who were aware of what was going on and those who were not aware all felt the absolute quietness in the palace."Are you ready?" The former king, Friedrich, asked his son, who was dressed in his royal kingship attire,"Yeah, I guess," Grimgor said with an assuring smile. At that moment, he was thinking about how Veronica would react to waking up without him beside her."Let's go. Then," Fridolf said, taking the lead. King Grimgor hesitated a while before following him steadily behind his back.As they made their way through the dimly lit corridors of the palace, the weight of the impending ritual hung heavily in the air. The torches along the walls flickered, casting eerie shadows that seemed to dance with every step they took. Both father and son were lost in their thoughts, contemplating the challenges that lay ahead.King Grimgor couldn't help but feel torn between his duty as the ruler of the kingdom and his personal

    King grimgor...Day one. One more day, and everything will end. Just that I might end with it also.Today, everything has been put in place. Our plans were being perfected, ready to be unleashed.I had to spend the whole day with my wife. That's why I made it free.I lifted the dumbbell weight for the hundredth time. I breathed heavily before dropping it to the side."What are you staring at, sunshine?" I watched Veronica lose herself in thought with her hands on her jaw.I have dragged her to work out with me.Dragged out, meaning that I had to carry her out of the bed before she ended up here. She answered sluggishly the first two times I called her to come to me, but the third time, I didn't wait for her to respond. I just lifted her from the bed and made her wear sportswear."How does this seem so easy to you?" She asked after a long while."Easy? Not really so easy, but since I made up my mind to carry it, I did."Why don't I try? . Okay. Let me make up my mind." Veronica closed

    Day one..Author's pov....There was news going around. Unfortunately, it had to skip King Grimgor and his ally. It was intentional.I overheard Viktor saying something to Grimgor's father. I was his secretary, so I know a lot more than I should. I never intended to eavesdrop.Never! But it just happens.Okay, today I was about to get a call across to the former king, King Ferdinand, when he asked me to stand outside and wait a little while."Do you suggest I stay put and watch all this, Viktor? What if things go wrong and my son ends up dead?" I was just outside when I heard"No, not really, my king. I trust your son, and he is not used to failing, so this won't be a lot for him like you think," a voice responded, whom I suppose to be Viktor.I know at this point I am supposed to walk out, but...I didn't walk out.Don't get me wrong, please. I don't eavesdrop on my seniors; I just couldn't walk out on such an interesting topic.I fvcking couldn't."You know how Aradumus could be?

    KING GRIMGOR.Day Two..Two days for the ritual, and we are making just a little progress. I am worried after all this, and I just hope I do survive to take care of Veronica and our child."Your majesty, I found someone already." These words were soothing. We didn't want to invite an external body into our affairs, and it made it difficult to find someone except my brother and Sam, who volunteered. I don't want to lose any of them at all."Perfect. " I heaved a sigh of relief. "Now all we have to worry about is the plan being successful", I said while swinging my sword in the air.I had to get myself ready too. I don't know how he himself is getting ready for all of this, but either I win or we both end up dead."Won't you at least rest a little, my king? You have a wife to look after," Sam suggested. I stared at him, knowing fully well that he doesn't understand the weight of this whole thing."No rest for winners; I never planned to lose," I said. Lodging my sword on him, which he a

    VERONICAI wouldn't just easily believe that the news I heard was about me, I cannot just be pregnant. It should be a good news after all I am married and my father in law has used the fact that I have no child yet as a base to taunt me.."I lay down, touching my stomach and wondering if my baby could hear me. Now, I just have to be sensitive of words I say so it would not feel that I love him less. Yes him, I actually want a baby boy. I never had a brother although not a sister as well. I don't really know how things will turn out next. "You should get going. Don't delay your work because of your pregnant wife. At least now that my sickness has being defined. It should be a normal thing for us" I said to grimgor. He needed a way to tackle his issue with the vampire king and I needed some space to tackle mine with his father. He seemed to be happier after hearing the news. His mouth refused to close properly as he just smirks now and then probably fantasying holding our baby's ha
