Sebastian's POV

“Boiled virgin rabbit soup from the Highlands of the South?” I threw my head back laughing. Veronica always keeps on surprising me. I can’t predict her antics.

“She's insane,” comments Eamon.

“She's lovely,” I said.

He looked at me like I just grew two heads. I shook my head with a smile which weirded him out more. I am not a very smiley person by nature. I do smile, just not as easily as lately, not for the small things too. My smile is usually reserved after a good hunt or a winning duel. Yet these days, I keep smiling over mundane things.

I stood up, massaging my neck and stretching, “I’d hunt one.”

“What?” Eamon exclaimed in bewilderment and protest. “You know she's just messing with us, right? She even changed her request to—”

“Watch your words,” I warned with a growl, glaring at him.

“Sorry, Alpha,” he bowed his head in submission.

“I have matters to tend to anyway,” I responded dismissively, “I’ll bring Aren with me. You told her about the pack dinner a

    Veronica's POV It sting me like another betrayal. I was in over my head and forgot why I was exiled here in the first place, forgot that I had no one to trust. “You can never leave here, Veronica.” His words echoed in my mind. I knew that he was probably tasked to oversee me. That it means nothing for him every night he sneaks in my room. I knew that he would side with his pack. That it will be his priority and not me. We were not friends or anything. I just hoped… a little. The random kindness and care seeped into me somewhere along our nights together. I tried to deny it. But the truth is, I have been lonely, empty, and somber for a long time now. The bits of attention somehow became my oasis to quench this unending thirst for someone. Something, anything, I can hold onto. For a second there, it was red eyes that were my anchor. Yet reality is cruel. He is just like them. He does not side with me. I am alone. As always, I am alone. I curled on the bed and squeezed my e

    Veronica's POV I will drag them to hell with me. The white invitation card crumpled as I fist my hand so hard. I wanted to scream and break everything around me. My anger was blinding, my vision almost turned black but all I could see was red. I want them to bleed. I want them on their knees. I want to take them apart. I want to destroy their lives. Destroy it even worse than they destroyed mine. And I will. I will destroy them all. Leaving it all behind? Escaping to find my peace away from them? No. Not anymore. That was foolishness once more. I am no longer a fool. I will not become a fool again. I would have my revenge on them. Ripping the invitation I had in hand, I threw it in the trash. I have to come up with a plan to exact my vengeance. My current state is pathetic. A dethroned Luna, rejected, exiled, and was offered to an enemy clan. The Helios pack. The strongest pack in the North. Eviera will never be able to defeat Helios. And that will be my key. I have to

    Veronica’s POV There is an upcoming banquet. “Am I allowed to go?” I asked Eamon who I was staring at from the mirror. He was standing straight behind me as I brushed my hair in front of the vanity table. He had his hands clasped together in his back. From his reflection, I saw how he drew an exasperated sigh, like he is tired of his job description. I can’t blame him. I’ve been kinda giving him a hard time after he told me that the Alpha declined to see me. “Yes, you have been invited,” he said. I shrugged then uttered, “Oh I don’t know. I wasn’t sure because the Alpha might not want my nobody presence there.” Eamon was on the brink of exploding. He is a stoic and calm man but his patience is running out on me. I could feel a little bad. Poor him, I had no one to lash out to aside from him. Well, it is his Alpha’s fault for being rude. “You are expected to attend,” he uttered with finality and headed out. I sighed to myself and sinked in the chair once I heard the door closin

    Veronica's POV The evening banquet of the Helios pack is huge. Apparently, it is a monthly celebration that is a tradition for them. The giant banquet is held to celebrate their good hunts. They also reward their best hunters so the whole pack is always looking forward to this party. It is encouraged to dress up with a big feast prepared. Everyone in Helios will attend, even their officials. I was hit with the realization of how rich and strong the Helios pack is. It is one thing to hear about it but a whole different experience to witness it firsthand. “You look beautiful, Miss,” Analynn my wavy hair on the sides and looked at me in front of the body size mirror. “Thank you. You two were a big help,” I answered and beamed at her. I wore a flowy white fairy dress with long sleeves and a bow ribbon at the front. It was an inch above my knees. I opted for a clean color like white with minimalist designs to make it look effortless and not over the top. I also decided to keep my hai

    Veronica’s POV The howl came from the back of the mansion. Eamon was quick in his feet, alerted. A bloom of emotion rose in my chest at that familiar howl. I still remember the first night when I saw those red eyes and the call for the moon that he yelled. There was a foreboding feeling in the back of my mind. Did something happen? I didn't want to worry but I almost stood up from my seat. I need to act normal and it’s not like it is my business yet my eyes still followed where the howl came from and I felt my stomach flip in a surge of emotions. Eamon turned to Isolde, “Take her back to her room,” he commanded her and Isolde quickly nodded. I realized that he was pertaining to me. My brows furrowed in confusion as I protested, “Wait. Wha—” Isolde was already standing up and holding me by my arm, “Let's get you inside, Miss.” She was wearing a serious look and making my intuition go off. “No,” I said with a sharp look at her, “What is happening? Why should I be rushed inside?”

    Veronica’s POV Fate probably hates me. My life has started going down at some point and it just continued to become worse ever since. Red Eyes, red eyes. The Alpha. All along he was the Alpha who I thought would be the most impossible thing to happen. I refused to ever consider this possibility even if it had signs. Maybe because I wish he wasn't. Maybe because I wanted him to be different, be someone else. Be someone else that I could trust. Not yet another Alpha who tricks me. The world must be mocking me. “You,” I whispered with bitter and harsh accusations in my words. I glared at him so hard that I wish he would feel it in his bones, make him see the hatred I harbor against him. He was sitting on his throne, legs apart and his elbow on the armchair, his chin propped on his hand. The moonlight was entering from a window behind him, shining some light at the otherwise dark room. It cascaded a shadow over his figure. This is the first time I can truly see his face. His

    Veronica's POV The strongest Alpha in the North is marrying a rejected Luna. Whether it sounds absurd or like a fairytale depends on who heard the news. The words started going around right away this morning. ‘Alpha Sebastian has chosen his Luna.’ Everyone at Helios has been talking about it. The news traveled quickly and Sebastian— still trying to get used with that name on my tongue— wasted no time in letting everyone know. And he also wasted no time in tailing me around. “Can't you give me space?” I sighed and frowned at him. He was laying sideways facing me as I sat cross-legged on the bed. He smiled lazily at me, teasing, “No, because we're getting married.” I squinted my eyes at him, “You know you keep repeating that.” I crossed my arms over my chest, “Remember I still haven't forgiven you.” He frowned and picked on the sheets with a pout like a kid, “It's okay.” His voice was low like a whisper, his tone was the same as a scolded child. Sebastian looked up at me sne

    Veronica's POV“Here are the rules,” I began while he already responded with a frown.“I don't do rules,” Sebastian complained right away.I smiled at him so sweet, it is obviously fake, “Well too bad for you, huh? Because we will have our rules,” I told him with no room for refusal.And yet he still refused, “No.”“Then the wedding is canceled,” I said.“Then you won't have your revenge,” he mocked and copied my tone.I smiled again and mocked his mockery, “Then I should just die.”It was comical how his face twisted too fast. “What?!” His voice boomed in the still kind of empty new room he says is mine now. “Who even says that?! Stop it, Veronica, it wasn't funny.”He took it way too seriously. It was a shot in the dark comment but I got the reaction I wanted so I think I win that.“Tough, that's my condition,” I continued, teasing. He's the one always making fun of me so I wanted to give him a little taste of it.“You can't change terms like that,” his brows were furrowed and he was

Snow crunched beneath muddied boots, the sound cutting through the strange stillness that hung tensed over the clearing.The moonlight has returned, seeping little by little through the clouds, no longer veiled by the eclipse. Midnight has passed. The moon’s soft glow fell upon the ruined ritual circle—blood-soaked stones, broken altar, and the scent of black magic long burnt out. In the center of it all, slumped on the ashen ground, the Alpha—Sebastian lay unmoving. And beside him, his queen, Veronica, knelt, her trembling hands covered in blood… of not just his and her own.She wasn’t crying. Not anymore.Not after she has already poured all of her tears out.A sharp whistle broke the air.Veronica looked up sharply, eyes narrowing—guarded.From the edge of the forest, cloaked in shadow and exhaustion, the Rozeiros siblings came to light

    Warning: Graphic depiction of violence.**Veronica’s POV“You think I can’t do it?” All I was seeing was blood and darkness as I stared at her. I didn’t have anything to direct the angry emotions I have but I remembered that if I trace the root of every problem I had, it would lead back to her… and I was reminded, woken up from drowning through the pain, to see my wrath again—the reason why I went through everything.Revenge. Revenge on Jadeline.The one who has wronged me most.“If there’s one thing I’d do tonight… I will kill you!”I lunged. A single, brutal movement.The dagger pierced Jadeline’s side.Jadeline gasped softly, her mouth curling into something between surprise and peace. She didn’t dodge even if I knew she could’ve, regardless if she was shocked or not.She just—laughed. And smiled at me, “There she is…”“My golden child.” Her hand reached to touch my face. “My dearest Veronica.”Her words made me angrier. I felt disgust crawl through my skin. I grabbed her arm an

    Veronica’s POVThe searing pain of Sebastian's mark settling on my skin was the most warmth I felt since this all began.I was silently crying—mating bonds may sting at first but it should be pleasurable after it seals. However, because Sebastian was stabbed and losing his life, I had to feel that same sensation too due to our new connection. I stared at him lying in front of me. As if just in slumber. Or perhaps that was just denial.“No… please,” I whispered, brushing strands of matted hair from his blood-slick face. “Didn’t you feel the black smoke leaving your body? I—I saw it… That’s the shadow right? It's gone so… you can come back. You wanted to stop it from taking you as a vessel and becoming too powerful, right? It’s gone now… you should come back too…”I choked up a sob and shook his body, “There is no way you die like this! With just a dagger! That dagger wasn’t for you! It shouldn’t be for you—no… I… how do I live with your death?” There was still no response. He remained

    Veronica’s POVI have run away many times before but I never thought I’d be running away from him.The forest was a blur of shadows and moonlight as I sprinted between the trees, breath shallow, lungs burning. Behind me, the thunder of heavy paws slammed against the earth, each bound of the feral beast a death sentence inching closer.I didn’t look back.I didn’t have to.I could feel him.Sebastian… though not quite him anymore. The man I love—no, the creature that used to be him—was now fully under the grip of the curse, the shadow’s influence sharpening every growl into a predator’s cry. Branches tore at my skin, and the blood on my hands wasn’t just from battle. It was from trying to hold him back. From trying to hold him.A howl pierced the sky. Low. Broken. Tormented.I stumbled but didn’t fall.Not yet. I need to escape and think about how I could end this. I won’t give up.The clearing was just ahead and I skidded into the end of the path just as the silhouette of a beast bur

    Veronica’s POVI have fallen in love with Sebastian.I’m not sure when it exactly happened or how. But somewhere along the way, during the time when I was convincing myself to carry nothing but hatred, he sneaked his way in.I never recovered.Sebastian’s expression is hard to read, just that it shocked him. It wasn't really a full confession but he understood what it meant for me to say that.Because I never planned on loving someone again. But I did, anyway.“I’m sorry, baby…” he whispered words I hated to hear. An apology is not what I want from him.Sebastian closed his eyes and slowly pulled me to him. He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. His hands were cold and were trying to cling to me tightly.I held back a sob. I knew what his reaction meant. Another apology came after.“I’m sorry,” his voice shook and he pulled me closer. It broke my heart.Because even with all this, he hasn't changed his mind. He refuses to change his mind. He has already made his final decision.I st

    Veronica’s POV“You really are the most selfish man I’ve ever known.”I stared at Sebastian like he was insane—no, he has actually gone mad. “Do you know what you are asking me?”It's like I'm hearing a big joke. I still find it hard to believe that I heard it correctly. It was preposterous. I couldn't understand.I don't want to understand.My emotions were a whirlwind. I feel like I'm being played continuously by everyone. Even him.Sebastian's hands on my shoulder tightened. He looked torn. “Veronica, you don’t understand—”“You’re right,” I cut him off. “I don’t understand!”“It doesn’t make sense!” I pushed his hands off me and stare into his eyes. “Why would you say that? We’ll be able to find a way! Together. Your attacks are working on him and so do mine! We just need to figure it out and we’ll stop the ritual like we planned and the curse… we’ll—”“I told you I don’t have time!” Sebastian yelled making me freeze.His eyes looked guilty and broken.It's like he has made up his

    Third Person's POVSebastian was running out of time.“Can't do anything now, golden boy,” the dark entity suddenly spoke in his head. “You can watch your little wife die before you pass on too,” it cackled.“I will save her from you and then I will kill you,” he replied inside his head, where his consciousness still lies awake, locked up.“Save her from me?” the shadow replied incredulously. “Please, you're just as much of an evil being like me. What are you saving her for?”“The role of a hero does not suit you Sebastian,” it added with amusement in its voice. “It's the opposite you're born for. You have to learn and accept that.”It laughed loudly inside his head too. Sebastian wanted to rip his ears off to tune it out.“Stop living in delusion of some fairytale of your own,” it said with a smile you can hear from its words.“You are cursed.”He looked at his hands. Bloody, stained. Not from battle, but from clawing at his own skin, trying to rip out the shadow crawling beneath. H

    Sebastian’s POVI know darkness like the back of my hand.It has accompanied me since I was born. I haven’t drowned before but perhaps this is how it feels like—drowning in darkness. It takes me into a whirlwind of memories and emotions.“You’ll have to marry anyway, Sebastian! Can't you take the prophecy seriously?” Luciana’s voice sounded so real in my head as if taking me back to that actual day.I saw myself from a third person point of view. My frown deepened as I remained looking outside, observing the members who are out and about their daily life in the square.Meanwhile, Luciana continued reprimanding me. “You know a pack without a Luna is weak, no matter how strong you are as an Alpha. Stop being so hard-headed and arrogant just this once!”I still didn't respond. My attention was barely on her lectures. Besides, I don't like her suggestions. I hated how all of them are making a big deal out of such vague premonitions. I’m not really much of a believer in anything spiritual.
