Veronica's POV
My body was killing me and I will kill Sebastian for this.
It was the morning after our first night. The sunlight from the windows slipped between the curtains in his chambers. I could hear the day starting outside. It was probably late in the morning.
I feel numb and aching all over. I was sore in a lot of places. He really did take a toll on me.
His arms were wrapped around me, my back on him, and I know that he is awake by the way he tries to nip and bite my neck.
“Sebastian, you know it can't work yet,” I told him in a lazy manner, the tiredness was still in my bones.
He was nipping for a
Veronica’s POVThe Northern continent is cold by nature. Almost throughout the year, the weather is just varying levels of the wintry season. Sometimes we experience summer and spring but it's very short.There is no snow right now but it's still frosty so I wore a fur-trimmed overcoat with elegant embroidery, its A-line silhouette passing below my knee as I wear high boots to walk around. In our human form, werewolves can feel chilly too. Not that I feel the chill but Analynn insisted for me to wear this.It was Isolde and Soren who accompanied and toured me around Helios after lunch. It’s my first time leaving the palace premises aside from when I was at the previous mansion where I was originally locked up and the banquet last time.
Veronica’s POVMy head hurts from the sudden revelation.Nolan. Declan. And one more.I knew Sebastian had three older brothers but I wasn't aware that they were triplets! That prick didn't even think that it was an important detail to tell his wife.He's gonna hear about it from me later.Nolan laughed at my expression and backed away. He went to stand beside Declan, as he introduced himself, and it was jarring how similar and different they are at the same time.He grins, “Sorry for scaring you, sis. We have a thing for
Veronica's POVThe dinner went by with nothing much going on. No conversations or small talk. Sebastian was just silent the whole time.We separated from his siblings after finishing our meal. I don't think the triplets are leaving Helios soon. I think they still have some matters to attend to here. I stopped asking. I pretty much got the message that I shouldn't meddle on this.I headed back to my room but I knew Sebastian was also following behind me. I stopped by the doors to enter but he suddenly spoke.“Aren't you gonna sleep in our chambers?” His tone was serious and his eyes were observing my reactions keenly.“Your chambers?” I looked at him over
Veronica’s POV“Do you want to join my meeting with the Sun Council next time?” Sebastian asked as I fixed his collar. He was looking at me.“If you need me,” I answered and then smoothed his vest, “And if they will let me,” I added with a snicker before looking at his face.There was an instant scowl on his expression after my last comment. He looked offended and said, “Of course they will. Why would they not let my queen be part of the pack business?”I laughed at the way he was so easily worked up by the mention of it, “Yeah, okay,” I just relented to not have a long conversation about it, “Don’t be too harsh on them, though.”“I’m not hard on them,” he reasons and tilted his head, “They just have to listen to me.”I crossed my arms over my chest and lectured him, “Wolf councils are established for a reason, Sebastian.”“You cannot rule alone,” I poked a finger on his shoulder to emphasize my point, “A king that listens to no one shouldn’t be anyone’s king.”He stared at me with co
Veronica’s POV Virren moonstone is also known as the moonstone of eclipse. According to the book, it is a special jewel that could harness the power of light and darkness during the veiling of Sol and Luna. The sun and the moon. It's a folktale that dates back in olden times. The illustration is exactly how I remember the moonstone that Eviera has. It might really be the real thing, if the pack protects it dearly. “What are you gonna do now?” Sebastian asked as he flopped down to our bed and I remained standing, deep in thoughts. We were back in our chambers after a quick dinner which he insisted and I took the book with me to our room. “I now know what the moonstone is,” I said more to myself than to him, “I might find who did steal it and what is their real purpose. Whether it's just really against me or there's another ulterior motive.” “Wouldn’t it make sense that it’s your stepsister who tried to steal it?” He asked me, “I mean she basically set you up.” “It’s not imposs
Note: The following chapter contains explicit adult content. * * * * * Veronica’s POV Sebastian kisses like he has been stuck in a desert for years and finally found his first drop of water. Thirsty. Rabid. All-consuming. It sends me on a spiral as I try to match his intensity. I was leaning down, holding his face while he remained seated on the bed and reached for our kiss. His tongue was prodding me to let him in and I relented. It alternates from slowing down to taste each other and an overwhelming fervor that makes me lose all coherent thoughts. I was climbing on his lap as we deepened our kiss. His hand found its way under my clothes, skirting higher and higher, from my legs to my thighs. He took his time feeling me, stroking my smooth skin. My breath hitched as he guided one of my legs to the side of his hips. I remained standing on one foot as his other hand pulled on my hair. I can feel his fingers almost digging into my skin as his lips nipped on mine, harder and hung
Veronica’s POV“Are you okay, Luna?” Isolde asked me and I jolted from where I was gently massaging my aching hips, “Are you hurt anywhere?”“Hm?” I snapped back to reality and realized what I unconsciously did. I felt a blush on my cheeks as I cleared my throat and regained my proper posture before answering. “Ah yes, yes. I was just spacing out,” I told her. In my head I left a reminder to strangle Sebastian later. That prick.He may have let go of me in the morning but he did not let me get any sleep all night. He took it quite literally, not stopping until the first ray of sunlight saved me from dying because of his unquenchable libido. Vivid flashes of our endeavors last night filled my brain at the mere thought of that mad man. I can almost feel his possessive touches and hungry caresses ghosting all over my body. I bet if it wasn't for my lycan healing abilities the evidence of our evening together will still be etched on my skin. It made my stomach swirl with stupid butterf
Veronica’s POVThe Rozeiros family is still a mystery to me.Frankly, the house of Rozeiros has always been an enigma for the entirety of the North. All I know is that they are monarchs who have been around since the continent was founded. Their power and influence goes way back. They founded the Helios pack and have been the said leader since. Yet despite all this, people know little of them.I have always thought that it's because I am from a different pack. After all, it's not like each clan shares their history over a cup of tea. Wolf packs are civil at most. Alliances are not that common. There's a reason territories exist. But now that I think about it, even after marrying to the family, I know close to nothing about the Rozeiroses.Sebastian Rozeiros was only the demon wolf to me until recently. The strongest in the North, infamous for being the best and most brutal hunter in the continent. He sits on top of all the Alphas. A king above kings. Feared and respected.I know him
