Veronica’s POV

It was the last day of the Culling Tournament.

For a week-long experience, it sure felt like years for me. A lot of things has happened and it was indeed a roller coaster ride. From the unexpected murder, a big fight between me and Sebastian, the hunting competitions, dealing with Jadeline and the others plus the recent reminder of Sebastian’s curse to me, I don't even know where to get started.

Still, I don't regret coming here. I think I have made a lot of progress through this eveny. Perhaps it’s only my gut feeling but this might just be the start of new things; good or bad, that's something I'm gonna have to find out.

“Would it be overreacting if I say that I’m gonna miss this place?” I chuckled at my words and turned to Sebastian who was standing beside me.

This place and the days we've spent here is like a turning point for me. A step closer to my plans and a lot closer with each other.

I glanced at him and he looked a lot more peaceful than he was yesterday.

    Veronica's POV It is nice to be back home. That was the thought ringing in my brain. I looked around to see the familiar surrounding. Then I realized. This isn't Helios. It's a different home. One that has been long gone. The inside of the house was old but homey. From the window, I saw the raging snowstorm outside. I felt like a ghost in my own body. It's like I am here but also not quite; like I was watching it in third person. The feeling was weird. I remember the fireplace, warm and burning. I remember seeing that one picture frame. A mother, a father, and a child barely two years old photographed and hung up on the wall. Those faces were very familiar. My heart ached. “She will get better, right?” Said a small voice before my perspective changed to looking up at the person I was with. The scenery also shifted, flashing like some vision. Suddenly I am in the bedroom, gone was the living room and fireplace earlier. I finally saw the face of the man with me. It was som

    Veronica’s POV“Jadeline had a bigger plan than just having me exiled,” I told Sebastian.We are currently awake at dawn. He was on the couch in our chambers, yawning and watching me pace around the room.“And that plan includes the moonstone?” he asks, trying to think with his hand on his creased forehead and sleepy eyes glaring into space trying to not fall into slumber, “I thought they took it from you after you were caught during the frame up? “Yeah, they took the moonstone from me. It was their strongest evidence,” I answered, still walking back and forth. My mind is very alive right now. The adrenaline and the rush of my theories sending off any hint of grogginess away. Then, I slowed down and halted on my feet.I stared at the night outside where the moon was hiding behind the cloudy sky. I noticed that it has been cloudy lately, even when we were traveling back from Metropolis to Helios.The clouds make the ether look like a painting, like it wasn’t—“Real,” I whispered the

    Veronica's POVThings have become weirder after my dream.I started seeing visions.I haven't told anyone about this. Not even Sebastian. Although I will tell him, just when I have this figured out.It's kind of scary and strange. My visions are the opposite of prophetic or foretelling. I don't see the future… I see the past.And it's not looking back through a memory sort of thing. It was way different.“You have beautiful eyes, Veronica,” Jadeline said as she brushed my hair gently and looked at me through the mirror.The child me was sitting on the chair, swinging her feet that were hanging from the height of her seat. Little Veronica gave her a toothy grin, “Thank you! I share the same eyes as Mommy!”Jadeline smiled to herself at my response and stared at the hair she was brushing. Then she placed the brush on the table in front and held the kid me by the shoulders.“Did your mommy ever tell you more about your pretty eyes?” She said with a light tone and a warm smile.I watched

    Veronica's POV“Can I borrow Eamon?” I asked Sebastian as I took a bite of my food.We're having lunch together today. He's strictly joining me during lunch time to watch what I eat or if I eat, like I’m some child to babysit just because he found out I skipped lunch researching the other day.He's so unhinged. I can't believe he has actual people to monitor me and report it all to him.Now I don't know which servants are under his order… it must be all of them, huh?I didn't make a fuss about it. I think he's been pretty worried and bothered by my behavior lately and I have yet to say anything to him so he resorted to that.But still. I feel like a child.Sebastian stopped slicing his steak and looked up at me with a soft glare, unserious although half-meant, I bet, “I thought you're already aware that I'm a jealous man?”I rolled my eyes at him, “Don't be dramatic,” I decided to inform him; after all, Eamon is his Beta, “I have a task I want him to do for me.”“I can do it,” he abru

    Veronica's POV “We're going out on a date,” Sebastian declares out of nowhere, arms caging me from where I was sitting on the couch and reading a book. I looked at him from behind the book with a raised brow and teased, “A decision set in stone without me declining yet?” He let out a dramatic grown and flopped down beside me, “It's been days since Eamon was out to his task and you're not gonna hear from Keldor soon so it's a break for you,” he said, “Besides, I don't have a lot of work today too.” “And the date, where off to?” I questioned and slammed the book close loudly in front of him, he remained unblinking. Ugh. He's a tough one to crack and tease. He just lazily moved his head to look at me, “Have you even explored Helios entirely?” “I have seen most of the territory,” I answered, “Especially the most important ones in the area.” He frowned at my stubbornness, “I bet you haven't seen the place I will show you to.” I decided to annoy him a little more before I agreed, “Wh

    Sebastian's POV I have been living my best life these days. And I kind of made it everyone’s business. “Gods, you’re insufferable,” Nolan complains from across me, “Wipe that stupid smile of yours! The longer I look at it, the creepier it gets,” he glared at my direction and said, “I prefer your grumpy face.” “Like I care what you want,” I retorted uncaringly and my smile became wider, teasing while he let out a grunt from his seat. “It is uncanny to look at, I gotta say,” Declan lazily chimed in, elbow propped up on the round table, chin on his hand as he observed me closely. Just like that, these dipshits ruined my mood, “Then look away,” I snapped back with a frown. Someone spoke, passing from behind me, “I’m glad you’re happy, Sebastian,” his hand clasped my shoulder firmly and gave me a tight smile, “You deserve that.” I nodded at Rowan. This is why he's my favorite brother. We're not too sentimental though. This is the sweetest we can be. He sat beside me and a second

    Veronica’s POV Too much peacefulness is a myth. I think most people believe that and so do I. Perhaps it's my paranoid nature but I don't actually feel peaceful when everything's peaceful. It's a bit complicated. I just had this fear that this is just the eye of the hurricane and things will turn for the worse soon enough. So I always need to feel prepared and alert to be ready when everything goes to south. It's a miserable way to live but I cannot unlearn it. I need something to focus on. Today is when Eamon will finally report on the things he was tasked to dug out about Jadeline. It's morning. I was in our chambers, at the balcony sitting and drinking my tea. I needed the open fresh air to ease my nerves and tension. Isolde and Soren were standing by the door, giving me my space. Moments later, Eamon entered the room. He headed towards me and I gestured my personal guards to give us some privacy. Once they were outside, I placed my teacup down and looked at the Beta. “So wh

    Veronica’s POV“Basti!” The girl whose name is apparently Drisella jumped to hug high around the neck in a high-pitched excitement.I couldn't help but raise a brow at what I was witnessing.Basti? Is she referring to Sebastian?Huh. Interesting. For all his supposed out of this world reflexes and instincts, he didn't dodge that sudden hug. Sebastian pulled away from the hug while I remained on the side because I had to step back when she suddenly threw herself to him.That hug lasted a second longer than my liking, too.And maybe I became invisible at some point of this unexpected encounter. Because the woman, definitely around our age, just started yapping.“It's been a while! Did you get taller when I wasn't here? Also you look thinner, have you been eating? You know I’ve always said you should eat—”“Yeah, yeah,” Sebastian surprisingly managed to get a word in despite her continuous remarks that no one asked about. He glanced at me and I only met his eyes with a blank face.He tu

    Veronica’s POV“Hail, Supreme,” the entire committee of the Holy Parliament greeted in chorus, bowing to the newly arrived man.I watched how even Sebastian and Gareth followed. It took me and Colton a late second to follow.Having been from two powerful packs that always participates in the Culling Tournament and has connections throughout the upper society of the lycan continent, I assume they know the obviously high-ranking person.Sebastian wouldn't have bowed to someone lower than his status. To think that he's not almost on par with the Holy Parliament with how he interacts with them on the same footing, this means that this stranger surpasses, and probably sits on top of the chain.I tried peeking to see him as he trudged inside the courtroom, past the middle circle where Sebastian was positioned and towards the elevated platform in front, where the committee was.He walked with regality and authority. But I can't sense his second gender, which is normal sometimes especially wh

    Veronica’s POVToday is the trial for the final verdict about Sebastian's murder and we have to bail time.“Luna Veronica,” the mocking voice of my boorish, brainless, ex-husband Colton disturbed the peaceful silence I have at where I was by the stands, “Majestic as ever with the way you managed to claw your way up towards another reign despite everything.”I turned to him with a cold, emotionless face.“Colton of Eviera,” I began, refusing to call him by his title as an Alpha, because I despised the time that I was beneath him when I know we're not even in the same league and he was never better than me.I looked directly into his eyes, “I see you're still the same too. Always barking up the wrong tree without a bite, thinking so full of himself but just overcompensating for the many things that you lack.”His fake politeness and confidence easily crumbled. Colton snarled at me, taking a step closer with glowing eyes in anger.“Funny you say that and look down on me. Then I guess you

    Veronica’s POVWhen lycans lose their sense of self, they become feral werewolves.It happens in instances that the wolf side of a lycan fully overtakes the consciousness of the individual. If left unchecked and not cured in the right time, the werewolf will just become a mindless wolf, entirely animal; with no humanity left in them.So imagine my shock when I see Eamon in this state.“What happened to him?!” I exclaimed and stepped forward to get a closer look at where he was kneeling on the floor, canines bared, elongated and drooling.His eyes don't recognize anyone. They were wild and dilated, when I moved, he tried lunging at me with a bite and a growl but Declan held his chains, rattling as he was pulled while Sebastian was quick to grab my arm and held me back. I looked at him in panic. He had a blank stoic expression.“Don’t come near him, he’s not himself,” he warns and glances at the writhing Eamon, “It’s almost the same state whenever I lose myself to the curse.”It was har

    Sebastian's POVI remember my very first kill vividly.Back then, the entire Northern continent was facing a rise of beasts and monsters.There was a breach at Helios, the entire pack was in chaos as a swarm of giant golems entered the territory.I was seven and told to stay in the palace. I haven't been into real hunts yet, especially unsupervised because they caught me back when I lied about going to a hunt to keep the rabbit I got.Then again, even as a kid, I was stubborn. I do what I like. I hated that all my siblings get to participate but me.That's how I found myself in the middle of Helios, with what seems to be the leader of the golems headed to me, pouncing.It happened way too fast.“Sebastian!” I heard Rowan yell from afar. It was loud even amongst the commotion of everyone fighting and the warriors trying to control the situation. My instincts took over. I fully shifted for the first time.I remember just dashing towards the danger of the giant golem, the feeling of ad

    Veronica's POV“So Eamon is the traitor,” Nolan slumped down on the couch after he got back from the courtroom, “I don't believe it,” he mumbled to himself.“Me neither,” I uttered as I glanced at him from where I was standing in the middle of the room, “I don't know Eamon as much as you two do but I never considered him as a man who can do that.”“He seemed responsible and dutiful, a man of principles,” I said.Nolan sighed and looked at me, “It's because he is.”I have noticed that because he is Sebastian's closest aid, Eamon has a tight relationship with the Rozeiros siblings too. Being the pack Beta, this also has tremendous repercussions to the Helios hierarchy.We fell silent for a while, probably sharing the same worried thoughts. Until Sebastian spoke.“It can mean something different,” his serious voice echoed within the chambers.He had his back on us, hands clasped together behind him, standing in front of the ceiling to floor windows, staring at the dark outside.Nolan per

    Veronica's POV“We all know the tales about the demon wolf. The kind of stories told to children at bedtime to warn them about the big bad wolf, a nightmare even amongst our kind.”I felt Sebastian’s hand flinch from Colton's words but he remained stoic. It's the most reaction I got from him since earlier. Nolan himself fell silent too.I glared at the bastard Colton but all three of us cannot contradict his words despite wanting to cut his tongue right then and there. It's vexing that he's aware of this fact and exploiting it to provoke us.“The brutal descriptions of the death brings the rumors to life. Always the torn limbs, the body in pieces, and the head is ripped away,” Colton’s eyes glinted with satisfaction as he looked at us, “Same pattern means same killer, yeah?”I bit the insides of my cheek.After witnessing that dark side of Sebastian, I started to see the same pattern Colton was pertaining to. Sebastian has this habit in killing, quite instinctive, that I don't think h

    Veronica's POV The mystery pieces of how the murder of the Culling Tournament started coming together after seeing Colton and Gareth. They are definitely behind this. “Why are we joined with pests here tonight?” Sebastian gritted out the moment we stepped inside and saw them, “I wasn't informed that we are having bad company.” “I don't think we're the bad guys here, Sebastian,” Gareth answered with a smirk as he stared at him goadingly, “We came here to help.” “Help me and go fuck yourself then,” Sebastian took a step to lunge, almost instinctively but I pulled him to a halt. This is bad. Horrible, even. We can't have Sebastian lose his temper and trigger the curse in the middle of this trial. If that happens, we'd never recover for it. As much as Helios is powerful, the pack is still bounded by lycan oaths and principles. This could turn as an ammunition and an excuse for every enemy that the kingdom has to aid in taking down Helios. With everyone possibly working together t

    Veronica's POVThere are three things we need to sort out.First, the trial for the murder of the Culling Tournament: it's impossible to disprove something Sebastian did commit. However, we cannot let this be used against Helios and let them corner us. Either we sway the direction into a more favorable judgment or manage to finalize a settlement.Second: find our Beta. Eamon is still missing out there. It could mean a lot of things but mostly two worst possibilities— a sign of betrayal or a hint of danger. Declan has set out to chase after his tracks and hopefully, come back positive results. Third: get points one and two done within a short amount of remaining time before the upcoming eclipse.Because unfortunately, this isn't the strongest storm that is about to hit us. That, I am sure of.“You know, when we talked about coming back to Metropolis, I didn't think it would be this soon,” I broke the silence in the carriage as we started to cross the familiar large arc at the end of t

    Veronica's POV“I'm not dying Veronica.”I’m not sure when my anger turned from being betrayed through a broken trust into the stubborn vulnerability I want to avoid that comes with the possibility of losing him.His words echoed in my head.Sebastian was so sure that the curse will not kill him. He doesn't even seem to take it seriously. Perhaps it's only natural. He's never been weak in his entire life. Being in the brink of death is an unfamiliar territory for him.But not for me.“You don't know that,” I held his baffled gaze.I toed with near-death for a couple more times than I can count my entire life.I was never a gifted hunter by birth— it was all hardwork. The desperation to be acknowledged that fueled me to excel. I had no choice but to make myself excel, indespensible. Yet never a prodigy like him.So I have brushed with death a lot of times. Then, my life turned into worst. There was a time when it almost ended. Twice. One during my first imprisonment and second was duri
