Warning: Graphic depictions of violence*****Sebastian's POVThe first time I believed in my prophesied curse was the day I lost myself.It happened the night when we were traveling back to Helios from a pack convention. We had prisoners with us that were supposed to be taken back to our territory as we had triumphed over expanding our borders and they were the rogues that were sentenced to punishment as a result.The night was supposed to be yet another ordinary evening. However, things took a twisted turn. I was shifted in my wolf form. My pitch black fur was embraced by the freezing wind as I tore through the dark woods in a blur of motion passing through the tall trees. All my senses are heightened and I feel overstimulated, my red eyes were frantic and wild as I scoped the terrain.My throat was scorching and I needed something to quench this overwhelming thirst that was muddling my brain. An unrelenting hunger sits on the pit of my stomach, I was itching for something I couldn
Veronica’s POV“Is it me or are you sweeter to me lately?” There was amusement in Sebastian’s voice as he combed his fingers through my wavy locks. We were laying together, tangled on the couch inside our bedroom as the sunset hues from the open balcony painted our chambers faded marmalade. I tried not to flinch at his comment and keep down my reaction to it.Luciana’s words about his curse were still fresh in my mind.“Sebastian was prophesied to die.”Even the slight memory of it is enough to fill my body with terror and an ache that I don’t want to acknowledge. It’s been days since that and I have been doing my best to repress it, to not consider its implications. After all, Sebastian doesn’t even show that he thinks about it nor does he have any plans of letting me know.Hence, I keep it to myself. Act like it’s not real, not mention it out loud. Because maybe if I never say it out loud, it will not be manifested to existence— I can still pretend that it is not true.Besides, Luc

Grk, hgrk—Sebastian tightened the fingers that were intently gripping my wavy brown locks as he guided my mouth to take his length further to its base. My fingers dig into his skin from where I was holding him by the thighs. I pressed into the hilt, his tip hitting the back of my throat as the scent of his pheromones dominated my other senses.“Fuck, Veronica,” he rasped as his red eyes bore into mine, taking the sight of me on my knees in front of him. He sure enjoys what was in front of him by the glint in those dazed orbs. His hips stuttered a bit when I continued to swallow him whole. I could feel a rumbling from his chest as he breathed and leaned back on the couch, “You take me so good, love,” he praises.I braced myself as Sebastian moved to grind his hips to my face. The gagging sounds were muffled along with the filthy squelching that just made me feel more heated as he stuffed me down
Veronica’s POVToday I am going out on a hunt and my prey is the untrusting, oblivious Keldor.With the help of Sebastian, we have organized a small event in Helios. The pack will be gathering at the central clearing of the territory for the occasion. I initiated a fun hunting contest, not a big deal but still a competition and I will be joining. The participants will be the pack hunters from the rookies to the regulars. I couldn’t invite the seniors and elites because it wouldn't be wise to take them away from their tasks just for this little affair.“You’re very gutsy for this,” Sebastian commented with amusement in his voice, a hand on the low of my back as we arrived at the meeting grounds. “I could never predict you,” he whispered behind my ear.I turned to look up at him and asked lightly, “You don’t think I can pull this off?”“No,” he gave me a serious look and added, “I know you can pull this off,” he emphasized his words. I couldn’t help but beam at his confidence in me. I
Veronica’s POVMy first hunt was when I was eight years old.Usually, young werewolves make their first hunt around the age of eleven under the supervision of their pack elders. All werewolves are trained to hunt to survive the wild and become a functional member of the pack. However, I didn't exactly follow the normal process.It was a very cold winter during that time, I remember the snow covering the entire territory and we were all advised to stay inside. Father was absent and I had no idea where he was which was weird because everyone should be home. It also happened during the timeframe when we were slowly growing apart. I didn't know it at the time, though. All I knew is that I felt neglected and I wanted attention. I craved for my parent.Back then, I was confused of the change that is slowly unfolding in our family. I might not be able to understand what was happening but I noticed it. I remember asking Jadeline one time,“Where’s Father? Why is he not around lately?” My you
Veronica’s POVI have never truly stepped outside into the world before, my entire life was within the territory of my former pack.My days were dedicated to serving the Eviera clan, I had no time to explore further or even simply travel. I was always busy and my interests revolved around wanting to prove myself to people around me. I have never thought about wanting to discover more, too. I was focused on a tunnel vision.But as I looked out the window and the passing breathtaking view outside, I felt some sense of new regret for the first time.We were in a carriage on the way to the venue of the Culling Tournament. We have crossed outside the borders of the North and it was my first time leaving our side of country.I’ve seen a lot of new places and I realized just how big the world is while I was sinking into my sense of responsibility and duty all of my life.There was a waterfall that I see from afar. It was gigantic and eye-catching even from a distance. The running waters get d
Note: The following chapter contains explicit adult content.* * * * *Veronica’s POVI am a prim and proper person. I have aced my etiquette lessons at a young age and I follow rules. I’m prissy and prudish. I don’t do unmannerly things. It’s just not how I live my life. So if someone would’ve told me that I will be making out heatedly inside a cramped carriage on the way to an important business event, I would have called them insane.Because this is insanity.Sebastian’s wandering fingers slipped under the fabric of my skirt and stroked my legs upwards to my thighs, taking his time feeling me while our lips remained locked in a torrid kiss. My hands were on his hair and his nape to pull his face closer to mine while his other hand wrapped around my waist to keep me in place as I was cornered beside the window of the moving carriage.His open mouthed kisses that set my skin to fire traveled from my lips to my jaw, nipping and licking, continuing his onslaught to my neck and throat.
Veronica’s POV I wanted to jump off a cliff and hide from the world after I came down from the haze. I swear I am not usually this stupid and impulsive. It’s just that Sebastian has this ability to make the best and worst versions of myself, that I didn't even know existed, come out. I can’t believe we really did it in a moving carriage! I have truly lost my mind, oh god. Just when I have earned some respect in Helios, rumors of me doing their Alpha, in such a scandalous manner, would get out. This is bad. This is so bad— I was breaking down while biting on my nail. “What is it?” Sebastian suddenly asked beside me. We fixed ourselves to the best we could and he grabbed my hand to take it away from my nibbling. “Huh?” I glanced at him, quite disoriented. I couldn’t help but notice his torn up vest from my claws earlier. Another evidence of what we just did. I finally met his searching eyes. “You looked bothered and anxious,” he pointed out with a stern voice. I sighed and replie
